Heard this song through the podcast "The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill" and wow, never have I heard a song that so perfectly captures my complicated relationship with the Christian evangelical church. The dichotomy of wanting to serve the Lord and live the gospel, but also feeling so skeptical and untrusting of churches, big and small, due to religious trauma. Not to mention the guilt of possibly being complacent in damage done to others.
I heard it there too!! So good and a perfect picture 🔥 I can’t believe I have never heard of Kings kaleidoscope, seriously amazing musicians and artists.
When you really consider the disparity that exists between those preaching the gospel and those living the gospel, these lyrics stir emotions and reach into the depths of your spirit to produce change. I discovered Kings Kaleidoscope a little over a year ago, and since then they have easily been the best group I've heard in Christian music, in terms of musicality and transparency through clever lyricism. Stay the course gentlemen and continue to give Christ all the glory.
Check out Jon Guerra as well. He's not well known right now, and his music is different than KK's, but he's lyrically on par and on another level as far as Christian music goes.
@@TylerJonesmechanical9 Interesting take. I can see that possibility. I think in light of the previous line, "where the captain's a captor," makes me lean towards "pastor" being a noun and not a verb.
These are words from a man who understands the hurt, disillusionment, and disorientation you go through after leaving a dysfunctional church. In the end, we end up dazed and confused and Jesus weeps over his flock. I was shook when I first heard this song. He somehow captured the struggle between trying to please our Savior, own selfish motives, twisted altogether with sins of the church.
Yeah! Unfortunately, the church is full of sinners and imperfect people who are trying to be perfect. Only Christ is teh way to be made perfect. @@jdwoanders
@@wurouchamee5220 You completely missed my point. We are only made perfect through Christ and what he did on the cross for us. His standard is so high, it's impossible to achieve on your own. God bless.
I JUST discovered this band and this has become one of my ALL TIME favorite songs. We need more of this band and I would love for them to come out to Denver, CO. KEEP IT UP

You should consider being one, learn about it, accept Christ into your heart (accept that he died for your sins and rose again 3 days later, if you believe, you get eternal life after you die, and joy that this world could never bring)
This is one of the places true ministry is at - showing up, free on bullshit and nonsense, sharing your art, and showing God's love - that we are loved as we are, and forgiveness gives us a new chance, daily, to be more like Jesus of Nazareth. God bless.
Riqueza! De arrepiar! Chego aqui e vejo vários comentários brazucas! É noix, família. Porque eu demorei pra descobrir essa banca maravilhosa! Glória a Deus! Que som! Divino!
I love how you've taken pain and suffering and failure of man and turned it into something beautiful. Truly, the rock of Jesus Christ, his truth and love is our firm foundation and through him we can move through the damage caused by those who used his name but departed from him, damaging people in the process. God bless.
Dude, this song is loaded with the spirit of God! Like it’s packed. Not like the Doritos bags of chips where there only fill it 42% this is 100% packed with the spirit!
GMG live Packed like the flavor in a Chick-Fil-A meal. God makes things better. I’m not nearly as skilled with my words as this band but one thing I can say is, Amen!
I'm glad they could tell their story of church abuse through this song, and still come out of it all on God's side. I'm sure it was therapeutic for them.
Kings K should be soooooo much more known than they are today. And at this writing they're at the height of their fandom to date. I've shared their music with Christians and others - same result: true appreciation for the beauty and creativity of the music and lyrics. ZEAL!
i dont know what I would do if I would of never hear this band may Gods anointing always be with them and when the temptation of selling out comes along that they will stand upon a the rock and not be moved.May the Lord double their portions
This is one of my on-repeat songs lately. So much truth entwined in the lyrics; the lyrics, the voice, the music all combined to make an absolutely beautiful message
This song is awesome...everything the way it is put together.. the different instruments ... the beat...the awesome young people..the lyrics.... I just can't get enough of it and I'm 60 years old!
I always loved it when they lead worship at Mars Hill. The nights at the Paradox were some of the most impactful of my life. I remember sharing the gospel with the homeless teens that conglomerated around the U District of Seattle. Amazing how something so beautiful got flipped into such a nightmare.
You guys are awesome. I heard this song on a commercial and I was like, that is the illest beat I have heard in a while. Glad I found you guys. Looking forward to enjoying more of your music.
To those who wish KK should be so much more known than they are, please don't underestimate the Power and Grace that comes with not being known. Thank You Jesus for this music. It has blesssed my spirit.
I love what you sing. Your music is insane and the best is for the glory of GOD. keep it up. I am in you dial, I go the message fully. I pray for other people to leave secular music thrash.
The Rise of Mars Hill podcast brought me here. Wow. Cannot get this song out of my head. The podcast is fantastic and the featured music raises the quality of production even more. May God be glorified as we grapple with our hopeless humanity and desperate need for a Savior.
The band member from the MH bonus episode is really the only one who told a story of clinging to Christ, pushing forward and overcoming the abuse instead of spending years in therapy, abandoning church altogether, and deconstructing faith. Not trying to dismiss the pain, but the Gospel is very much a story of redemption. Don't worry about MD, his day in the High Court of our Lord will come. In the meantime, look to God, don't create an empathy culture where you spend your life nursing wounds. Once you feel healing rush in, get up, keep moving forward, keep anticipating the coming of the Kingdom. Don't lose heart or faith, God is greater than our pain and in His sovereignty even allows us to experience these things. So Don't live life in light of hardship but in light of victory in Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Let the dead things be buried. Then death is a door, even a reward for the believer knowing they will stand before Christ having finished the race, scars and all. Faith in tact.
I just wanted Chad Gardner and Tyler Joseph to performing together, am I dreaming too much? By the way, this song is amazing, I can see clearly God through you, guys ❤️❤️
Great work Kings Kaleidoscope, That is an underrated Masterpiece, hope it gets more attention and i also hope to hear more of you! Thanks for making good music !!!
When you’ve been serving in a church, under an abusive head pastor, it hits hard. 💔 God is good though. I think that’s where this song is getting me. Is my allegiance to church/pastor, or God? Did we as humans split the church over our control issues? Asking God to paint beauty over our broken, disjointed mess. Looking for real religion. Tired of scripted sermons instead of Biblical exegesis. Asking Christ to turn the tables when we rearranged them after he flipped them in the temple.
In a special interview of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, the lead singer explained that the beauty was the bride/church and the painting was the blood of Jesus. So it’s that Jesus’ blood can cover even the sins of those who split up the bride of Christ, and it’s the blood of Christ that can unify everyone; even after splitting the church, we are still all brothers and sisters

Same here, I came from the podcast. I'm blown away by the song, and I can't wait to hear more from Kings Kaleidoscope.
Amen
Same here. I read the lyrics...how appropriate.
There’s no other band or sound like Kings Kaleidoscope. They’re just so unique, it’s amazing. That’s why they’re my favorite band
Amen!! you took the words out of my mouth!!
One of my fav band. I love them so much
Yes
They're not mine.

i would pay so much money to be sitting in the center of that circle
AMEN me too i give all glory to him
That’s why I like todd and dan so much, they are so into living the gospel, even when they don’t preach I’m touched
Check out Jon Guerra as well. He's not well known right now, and his music is different than KK's, but he's lyrically on par and on another level as far as Christian music goes.
Such a sad line, "I'm a puppet to pastor." 😥😥 I'm glad that Christ is still worthy to be worshiped and followed despite bad pastors.
pastor could be a verb and not a noun in this instance
@@TylerJonesmechanical9 Interesting take. I can see that possibility.
I think in light of the previous line, "where the captain's a captor," makes me lean towards "pastor" being a noun and not a verb.
Who else is here after hearing “the Rise & fall of Mars hill”? (Episode 3)
And then discovering that the band formed at Mars Hill and the lead singer was the church worship leader. VERY INTERESTING.
@@ConstantSurprises turn the tables we flipped, paint the beauty we split.
I am!
Such a well made podcast! Great insight to what and how things like this happen in The Church.
The song is very good, and so are the interpolations added to the podcast - wonderfully well done.

4:12 Look at my dude holding it down! He was singing, playing piano, AND sax!
Oh my gosh. That’s so awesome. I didn’t notice that
I JUST discovered this band and this has become one of my ALL TIME favorite songs. We need more of this band and I would love for them to come out to Denver, CO. KEEP IT UP
I would so love another live recording like this for Zeal.
Agreed
That would be so sick!! I would love to hear the rush live with orchestra!
Hello from the future, and there's now Zeal Live
Hello from the future. We had Zeal Live and now we're even about to have The Beauty Between Live! Wish granted
[Verse 1]
Did I pledge my allegiance
For the purpose of progress
To a priest or a prophet
Playing god in the process?
Was I chasing convenience
In a wave of disaster
Where the captain’s a captor
And I’m a puppet to pastor?
[Pre-Hook]
A worthless war
A curtain torn
To take control of the ship
A nail of shame
A broken vein
To write redemption a script
A truthless gun
A dying Son
To turn the tables we flipped
Turn the tables we flipped
[Hook]
Paint the beauty we split
Paint the beauty we split
Paint the beauty we split
Paint the beauty we split
Nah nah nah, nah
[Verse 2: Nadia Ifland Essenpreis]
They don’t get it, I don’t get it
We’re committed to sticks and stones
What's a vision if it's driven to imprison?
I don't know
They don’t get it, I don’t get it
We’re committed to sticks and stones
Undecided, but I'm trying still divided
So it goes
[Pre-Hook]
A worthless war
A curtain torn
To take control of the ship
A nail of shame
A broken vein
To write redemption a script
A truthless gun
A dying Son
To turn the tables we flipped
Turn the tables we flipped
[Hook]
Paint the beauty we split
Paint the beauty we split
Paint the beauty we split
Paint the beauty we split
Turn the tables we flipped (Nah nah nah, nah)
[Bridge]
Paint the beauty we split
Take control of the ship
Paint the beauty we split
Write redemption a script
Paint the beauty we split
Turn the tables we flipped
Paint the beauty we split
Nah nah nah, nah
[Outro]
Show me a man and honest mission
I'm willing to hope beyond suspicion
Show me the race, I'll run the distance
Longing to give and taste forgiveness
Dying to live a pure religion
Settle the rush to chase a mission
Open my eyes and soul to listen
Listen
@@vectorstain huh?
Thats a lot of lyrics to remember
I'm not Christian, but the passion of this group is universally relevant.
You should consider being one, learn about it, accept Christ into your heart (accept that he died for your sins and rose again 3 days later, if you believe, you get eternal life after you die, and joy that this world could never bring)
"Maybe I'm A Christian, cause the passion of this group is universally relevant." ;) ;) ;)
@@hoihpi109 this is why people are disenfranchised from Christianity. Y'all are too pushy
There’s nothing to lose if it’s not real, but if it is you will lose everything. However, there’s a way out of it!
Thank you for popping in to tell us
The mix of orchestra, rock and hip-hop is like Heaven. Every tribe tongue and nation singing praises to Jesus our Lord. Hallelujah!!!
Discovered Kong’s Kaleidoscope like two seconds ago and Imma fan ✌🏾✝️

Please don't stop writing! Over and over and over no matter how many times I listen, Jesus touches my spirit through your music.

Hell yeah
Amazing Songwriting, Performance, Visuals, Cinematography...truly God glorifying art. Grace & Peace.
Love the natural light in this clip!

I feel lucky to escape church trauma, but those that experience it and still believe....you are amazing.
Orchestral Arrangement by John Michael William Platter
Just heard this song on a Lexus commercial
Same

Vic Casiano me too 😂 yes
That trumpet guy makes it

Please, come to Brazil!!
Musica de qualidade no corpo de Cristo!
Yeeeees, plss!!!!!
This music is really powerful in the name of Jesus. We do not need other secular music. God bless you all of you. I got your music.
i dont know what I would do if I would of never hear this band may Gods anointing always be with them and when the temptation of selling out comes along that they will stand upon a the rock and not be moved.May the Lord double their portions
This has got to be my favorite video yet
The beginning gives me a Bon Iver vibe. Absolutely love it!
I like their music, became aware of them through Marshall, but became aware of this song through the podcast
Ultra artistically creative and theologically sound Christian group- something very difficult to achieve and yet by God's grace they've made it.
Essa música...
Grupo fantástico!
Musicalidade fluente!
Brazil! \o/
A questão da musicalidade, que grupo mais profissional, nunca enjoo de ouvi-los
Nossa já ia perguntar se havia algum Br por aqui. Que música incrível, uma obra de arte. 😍😍😍
Best song hands down …
Thank you podcast Rise and Fall of Mars Hill for introducing me to King's Kaleydoscope music!
I could totally play the piano part for this song
To be honest even as a 10 year old this is the most inspiring song ill ever here 😝✌i love you kings kaleidoscope😄😄😄
In love with this band! Come to Brazil please!!
Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase
Up! 🇧🇷 ❤
O Brazil precisa conhecer KK.. É uma pena eles terem menos de 15 mil inscritos
Não faz sentido, é uma banda extremamente boa.
Brasil foca mais nas versões traduzidas... E tem se resumido à apenas isso, tristemente.
I’m late to the party but happy to join along this great musical ride.
The "does it feel like real love yet?" Really makes the rest of the song hit different.
TRUTH RIGHT THERE. SO BRILLIANT!!!
Braziiil!!! 2023! Amazing song 🎵
God bless you kings kaleidoscope👼👼😄😄✌
This song and video should have at least a 100 mil. views
Caracaa, que baita som, ainda não conhecia mas agora tô viciado
I love Kings Kaleidoscope! I came back to this song after listening to The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill and the song is so appropriate!
"Morality, the mother of their affectionate cover up. Does it feel like real love yet?"
Powerful.
This is one of my on-repeat songs lately. So much truth entwined in the lyrics; the lyrics, the voice, the music all combined to make an absolutely beautiful message
Wooo that’s good
So many layers of music and emotions in this video. Genius composition and delivery! ALL GLORY TO GOD!
Que espetáculo de som! ❤
I'm not even Christian but this is some rlly good music!
You need to be a Christian because he died for you and me and all of the people
This song is awesome...everything the way it is put together.. the different instruments ... the beat...the awesome young people..the lyrics.... I just can't get enough of it and I'm 60 years old!
That snare sounds beautiful
I've heard a lot of music in my day. I've played a lot of music in my day. I👏🏼 HAVE👏🏼 NEVER👏🏼 HEARD👏🏼 ANYTHING👏🏼 LIKE👏🏼 THIS👏🏼 ! ! !
HOLY. COW.
This song is seriously amazing. It's been in my playlist for a minute, but today I listened closely and I've replayed it a few times since
you guys are Amazing
4:33 GIVE THE DRUMMER SOME!!!!!!
Every time I hear Kings Kaleidoscope on a commercial, I feel the opportunity for a new fan
Thank you for giving the interview with CT as a bonus episode of the podcast. MH Music has my RESPECT!
I started listening to rise and fall of mark Driscoll podcast a few weeks ago and can not stop listening to the podcast
Anyone else listen to the podcast at a faster speed... and now this version of the song seems incredibly slower than you're used to? :)
It never even occurred to me. I thought they rerecorded the song at some point! 😂
I always loved it when they lead worship at Mars Hill. The nights at the Paradox were some of the most impactful of my life. I remember sharing the gospel with the homeless teens that conglomerated around the U District of Seattle. Amazing how something so beautiful got flipped into such a nightmare.
Isso aí é o significado de Graça em forma de música !
The vocals, the percussions, the eclectic musical styles all reminds me of Peter Gabriel.
Yep, you nailed it.

When you’ve been serving in a church, under an abusive head pastor, it hits hard. 💔 God is good though. I think that’s where this song is getting me. Is my allegiance to church/pastor, or God? Did we as humans split the church over our control issues? Asking God to paint beauty over our broken, disjointed mess. Looking for real religion.

Heard this track on the new set of Lexus commercials... shame that they didn't keep the lyrics for those spots! Such a good song!
What is the meaning of “paint the beauty we split”?
In a special interview of The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, the lead singer explained that the beauty was the bride/church and the painting was the blood of Jesus. So it’s that Jesus’ blood can cover even the sins of those who split up the bride of Christ, and it’s the blood of Christ that can unify everyone; even after splitting the church, we are still all brothers and sisters
Uh… this is phenomenal. Love it.
Does it feel like real love yet?
