Someone have a racist past and then change the way he/she think in the present it is clearly he/she not racist anymore. Virtous life? Yeah I live that way. If you proud being a racist, that's for you, but you will take your consequences by your decisions. I hate racist, I will live that way, and I'll take my consequences w/ my decisions.
@double endemnity Get a grip you keyboard warrior. First, I don't like Obama so fuck him. Second, who the fuck is western citizen? I'm Indonesian. Now tell me where you come from so we can compare each other. Be honest. Dare?
This is my favorite P.O.D song. Loved it since I was 12 years old, discovering all the nu-metal out in the world at that time. I'll be 36 soon. My heart hasn't changed
Same dude, same. Just turned 36 last month. Been listening to these guys since snuff the punk. I don't think this song will ever leave my usual rotation.
Payable on Death ! There is a debt to be paid for sin. Only the blood of Yeshua( Jesus) can erase your debt. Check out Christafari ( Christian reggae band) and their discography. This song is song is sooooo good and epic. God bless Sonny Sandoval and the rest of P.O.D.
I grew up in a group home where I got bullied pretty much every day, this song was basically my reality for a good chunk of my childhood. I’m not a Christian and I don’t believe the same things that P.O.D. does but I’ll always have a high level of respect for them because of this song. I can relate to being in a shitty situation and just hoping that you make it out alive. Right now I’m in college and I have a ton of friends and a girlfriend and some mornings I wake up and I’m so relieved to find myself in my studio apartment and not in my old bedroom at the program that I left years ago. It’s not something I would wish on anyone.
Everybody that's read your comment is proud of you, man, and you should be proud too. You've got this bro. Looking forward to coming back to hear this song again in another few years and seeing an update on you
ImHereCuzImBored Live show's are supposed to be raw n gritty. That's what Rock n roll/Metal is all about. Fuck man if I wanted to hear the album I would just pop in the cd. I love seeing a live band for the pure energy. Sometimes the sounds system of the venue is shit and some bands just suck.
I ditched school at 15 years old to be in this video. It's a great snapshot of our little corner of the universe right before the turn of the millennium.
@Ramon Oliveira they really plugged in and played a whole set for us along with running this song a bunch of times. it was filmed in front of wuv's family's house in south SD. my mom still lives a few blocks away haha. was a cool experience watching their career explode like that.
@@Elijah-Bravo Hello, middle eastern Zoroastrians (the start of all religious origins) spoke allegorically in ancient times which were then passed on in its travels by the Greeks. The Romans in that era were deceptive and they had knowledge of control and power. Most of the world today, especially the western world, still follow an old Roman Systematic Law in which the Romans used the Zoroastrian/Greek translated (Judeo) Christian Bible and the masses thought the Bible to be literal when they captured territories and converted the people. Jesus (jehosh'ua) first came from the tradition of the Mithra but were then passed on through the Torah and renamed by the Christians (Crestians). 'The Bible' in its entirety has a wealth of knowledge in it because of its speech in parables and allegories, symbols and numerology, which explains astrology, meditation, human bodily functions but most importantly the human mind. The Kingdom of God is within you. God is love. 'Neville Goddard' and 'Dr. Joseph Murphy' are one of a few people who have translated the Bibles allegories by an Ethiopian rabbi named 'Abdullah'.
@J Rocker actually disease and things like stillborn babies and medical issues are a direct result of sin. More specifically the sins of their fathers(your sinful ways will reflect directly onto your generations, it is shown in the scriptures). And sir no disrespect to you but one day and I mean one day very soon, EVERY knee will bow and EVERY tongue will confess! 9 Wherefore ELOHIYM (God) also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of YAHUSHA every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that YAHUSHA HA MASHIAC (J.C) is Lord, to the glory of YAHUAH the Father. 12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. 13 For it is ELOHIYM(God)which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings: 15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of ELOHIYM (God), without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world Philippians 2:9-15

Met these guys at a base concert, they are some of the most down to earth and non-stuck up of people I have ever met. Thank you for signing my guitar, I'll cherish it forever!
idk that i would go that far... but only because a lot of great 90's music ... however i will say ... this sticks in my mind... i became a drum because of this song specifically ... this was the first song i learned on drums ... my brother learned guitar for it ... what great days... great album...
@@lukecollins3808 i am a cheap drum that doesnt hold tune and has been placed in the garage and forgotten about. years later some old man will sell me for 50 cents.
Haven't heard this since high school (33 now) and immediately I remembered the drops, the lyrics, the beauty, the energy of this song. There's a lot of things in my life I wish I could forget, but this song is something I hope I'll always remember.
I never knew how much this song would end up meaning to me later in life. Leaving behind the neighborhood life and mentality. So thankful I had a foundation in God and was able to come back to His side.
When we all used to wear jnco jeans, converse and Adidas, baggy clothes, wallet chains, played hacky sack, and everyone was welcome. That was the day. This song is from that time. No hate, no problems, no one in there feelings. Thanks to POD for helping keep me on the right track to GOD over the years. Amen
Man every time i come back to this song i am just blown away by how blistering and brutal it is. The production they got on this album is just unbelievable. Never heard a better drum, bass and guitar sound.
@@davidhoxley9818 It really does. Most producers turn down the low end on the guitarists amp and boost the mids and then turn up the lows and highs on the bass amp so they will sonically fit together like a puzzle piece. but i think they did the opposite here. they boosted the low end to the guitars and pushed the high mids on the bass so it would be able to punch through that massive guitar sound.
Former audio guy here and lifelong musician. I agree that I'm always puzzled how good this mix sounds. It's so hard to sonically fit in the other stuff with that massive wall of a guitar tone but they did it. I'm curious how many guitar tracks are in there. It sounds THICCCC
@@fourward27 Totally. You’d think the bass tone would suffer with such a thick guitar sound but it’s like my brain can completely separate the guitar and bass and hear them both perfectly. They sound amazing apart from each other but I just don’t know how they work together like that. But they DO!!! Yeah there has got to be AT LEADT 6 guitar tracks playing the same riffs. I think that’s were the secret sauce is, It’s in the individual mixes of the guitar layers.
I've always wanted to take a ride on a lowrider... to feel that how is it being jumped all the way long, however in Russia we don't have such opportunity due to absence of warm weather... unfair...
This song gives me deep, almost painful sense of nostalgia…even back in high school when this first came out, those clean breaks gave me a profound sense of vast, urban nostalgia. To get music nerdy, those guitar octave stabs during the chorus really pile on the emotion…the first time it’s a 9th, the second time it’s a major 7th. That vague lack of resolution sends your brain into a spiral of bygone uncertainty.
Still gets me all these years later when he asks why it has to be like this...fir a second you can hear acute pain in his voice, almost crying and despite whether or not you ever fit in this scene the moment is true emotion anyone can understand, still today.
Dissonance my friend. Dissonance and syncopation. Moody and unresolved build means there's a longing to go "home" sonically, but as the song progresses you realise that the "home" you want to go back to, the clean predictable chorus, has changed and won't be the same, especially after that middle eight.
@@RatelHBadger It’s funny because they *technically* resolve it each time but it doesn’t feel that way. The vague, dissonant harmony is just SO prominent, it’s the part that draws you in. I think the fact that the resolution is obscured by different octaves helps that effect, too. The higher octave stuff just feels desperate…like it’s trying to tell a greater truth that the power chords won’t reveal…
this band is awesome and one of a kind because there message is genuine and for real as GOD is at there core and thats what really matters in life and there blessing shine bright through there amazing music
Clearly. You haven't heard of many other bands like For Today, My Epic, Blindside, War of Ages, Phinehas... I could go on. There are plenty of bands that are bold in their faith! Try looking up bands on Facedown Records or most on Solid State Records. You're welcome ;)
Same. As a young teenager, I can't tell you how many times this song helped me get through some really messed up shit. When I was about to break, this was one of the songs I could listen to and allow myself to angry cry myself into a more calm mood
@@justinflores9697 this is true except for the salvation and everlasting life and the glory, honor, and power of YAHUAH (God) and His kingdom, New Jerusalem! All things through HIS Son YAHUSHA HA MASHIAC ("J.C."), Who is the perfect Lamb. HALLELUJAH!!!
I looking at this in the 2nd quarter of 2024 and I think it's the first time I've heard this song since I was a college student, so this is going back some years. This song still goes hard!
this song was one of my dad’s favorite songs back in high school, he showed me this song today (i’ve heard it when i was younger) but i can’t get enough of it, i always have to replay it. wish music was still like this..
Been a fan since 2001 when I first heard the Satellite album. This music STILL holds up today and this is what I call real music, not like the mainstream stuff.
I first saw this Video on a Southern California Christian TV Channel. The show was called G-Rock. It was a show my Brother and I watched religiously. It was a show with music videos and action sports; Like Skateboarding, Snowboarding, Bmx, etc. This video was always a pleasure to see. We'd Mosh, and sing along. Those memories are priceless. Thanks POD!
Devonte Amie Once 2001-2002 hit with poseur shit like Nickelback and Seether that's when it got stale. I started listening to cool shit like The Strokes and Interpol at that point. But this stuff still rocked in it's time
This track came out my senior year in highschool. Making me 41 years old. 😂 Old man now! But I had the experience of being a teenager in the 90's. Yes. It was fucking EPIC
16-26 years old for me. 90s was all about the music. Saw so many live performances, met so many musicians, some famous,some not,even partied with a few.
The 90’s were fantastic. You could do anything you want. Party non stop. Nobody would get offended. Pick-up lines were a thing. Got away with everything. Had a fucking blast. Love this song too.
It’s funny because everyone thinks their generation was the last great generation but the 90s truly was the last great decade. 9/11, the internet, politics etc. ruined it all. About to be 40 this year and still rock this one 🤘
@@kim1570 But nowadays, POD is basically forgotten. When it comes down to who was the most memorable bands, people dismiss POD like they was an ok band which is absolute bullshit. What people don't even realize is that POD was one of the earliest to play Nu Metal, even before Korn...
@@j.m.1928 Yeah, the cool thing about p.o.d. is they had a lot of variety and influences like hardcore, metal, rap, and reggae. They don't get enough credit for their mix of styles, they were doing it early on.
Their music has helped me tremendously with so many things. They are the reason I found faith in God. Love what they have done. This is one of their top 5 songs for sure!
i only know three songs of P.O.D Youth of Nation Alive and Southtown. They earned the fame and wealth to live well-off. I personally thank the Atlanta Record to have audience get a chance to be exposed to maintain the glimpse of what Hybrid_Metal core CCM be like. Plus, again, the stage is the top of the game, folks hhhhh
I remember the night I first heard this song on the radio. The DJ announced, “New music from P.O.D...” and my excitement that a Christian band broke through and was being played on secular radio, I was thrilled! I was already familiar with their previous albums Snuff the Punk and BROWN, but this song gave me chills.
Back in highschool I use to make skate videos which included my crew of friends & fellow skaters. We're talking total DIY production. But for one reason or another kids at my school would buy em up. Anyway, the opening part was my best friend Chuck & he was so fucking adamant about having this song during his part. Truth be told, it was hands down the best part. The music and editing matched up so good. Crazy to think it's a little over 20 yrs since those simpler times.
"Why's it got to be like THIS!!!!" Watching videos of the sad state of this world and this song popped into my head. I forgot how badass P.O.D. actually was. This was always a song that I would blast when it came on driving around in my high-school days. Man, how did I forget about this amazing band?
whenever I go through dark times, POD will always let me know that if I make it back this time got to the hold whats mine and thank God that I made it alive
Who else is part of that generation? Teenagers in the late 90's with baggy pants and loose shirts haha, I spent every day watching MTV waiting and enjoying those videos: Limp Bizkit, POD, Paparoach, Linkin Park, Creed, and soon on.
I grew up in that Era. Granted I was listening to stuff most people my age weren't (In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Cannibal Corpse, etc). This so g was a banger though. Unfortunately it was the only song I liked by POD.
heard this one live yesterday and BRUH...... their energy is wholesome, they interacted with the crowd until no one stood still. we sung the last chorus so vividly i thought it was a dream
I remember meeting P.O.D. at the Inside Out Soul Christian Music Festival many moons ago. Sonny was nice enough to call me at home a few weeks later to check in! :)
That abuelita making tortillas and the guy serving tacos on the street made me hungry. Lots of good vibes with this video and I like the family oriented atmosphere.
I was 11 years old when this dropped and I related to it instantly. I thought it was so cool that a band like this had a great message and believed what I believed. Pushing 28 now and I still feel the same way. God bless you P.O.D.
but I admire the work you guys do. I'm a Christian but see so much of what God wants of us lost in these buildings called churches. with pod whosoevers the wire church you guys are are doing what God need. bring and teach those who wouldn't go. you take it to them. thank you
+Xnet 360 I know their music well. and we've misunderstood my last message. I have a deep relationship with god but I don't belive in religion. but they open doors that the average non believers would never have or know. that's what I meant
+Xnet 360 also on the son alive the verse that says so I trust in love and I trust in love. main stream changed it from so I trust in love and I trust in god
Still an amazing song, amazing band. Absolutely staggering live show. Im 38 and this hits just as hard now as then. Music for the soul that doesnt know how not to scream.
Dude that beggining riff is so powerful man. Makes me feel so many things I can’t even explain, it also like makes me reflect my entire life, so much power in just the sound made by a guitar! Love it man. Wish I could’ve been a teenager when this music was first coming out. Maybe then I would fit in with people who also like this.
Life isn't about fitting in. It's about being yourself. The older I get the more I don't care what others think. I've always just been me, if they're cool with it we can be friends. If not, they can stay away and not bring me down.
@@leftyeh6495 yeah i know man. i dont really mind not having friends, im cool rollin solo, but it gets lonely sometimes lol, it would b cool to appriciate n talk ab this music w someone yk
POD representing so many great bands on their backs in this video! I see a blindside shirt, a Zao shirt, No Innocent Victim, chevelle, project 86. Good ol days
here in the southtown yeah you know the kid don't play put it down in the streets will I see another day if I make it back this time I gotta hold what is mine and thank God that I made it out alive
Fun fact. Pod filmed this vid at the beach 3 blocks from where i live! Marcos had a side band called scaretatic who played local shows wit my friend.s band sickwize! I met all the guys from pod at a cafe on 3rd ave n eventually got invited to their cookouts! The kid wit the scooby doo shirt is my friend tito in the video! He was in middle school at the time! Much love to these guys for keepin it real. Put imperial beach/san diego on the map. This is their best song imo
@@russelladams7627 and? They still put i.b on the map cos of this video! They come here a lot! N yea i love metal n punk! Thats all i listen to! My fav band is KoRn tho.
At 56, I must say that this song clicked with me in my 40s. My kids were in their 20s but this was not their kind of music. It got me through a dark time. The heavy hitting guitar helped a lot.
It's so amazing that so many memories and feelings arise with this song . Listening in my headphones as a kid with my skateboard and now in my 30s drivng around with my kids at the back seat... The energy remains the same ! Thanks for the music guys!

They sound amazing apart from each other but I just don’t know how they work together like that. But they DO!!! Yeah there has got to be AT LEADT 6 guitar tracks playing the same riffs. I think that’s were the secret sauce is, It’s in the individual mixes of the guitar layers.
good old times P.o.d , korn ,limp bizkit, linkin park , Deftones ,Cold, Sevendust, System of a down, Staind, Papa Roach, Incubus etc.
+CrazyGamer24 Nu metal legends ! my teenage years...
+CrazyGamer24 hell yeah
+CrazyGamer24 this music had a unique energy despite not being the technical
Oi
hell yea when we all had good taste
This song still goes hard af in 2023. 💯💯😎😎🤙🤙
I would give like 10000 dollars just to make this kind of music popular again...a part of our culture again.
+MrShadyKiller This would sound out of place before 1999 and after 2002.
its from 1995

When sonny says "life doesnt have to be like this ", I feel that.
I just don't comprehend how this song does not have a bajillion zillion views, such a banger back then and to this day!
I heard this song and realized christian music could be awesome.
man growing up in San Diego with Surfers bikers rockers lowriders man that was the life
Must've been awesome
Fo sho
I'll be there... No wonder the 90'd were so great. when it comes to the 2000's there's no way to grip the audience.
I've always wanted to take a ride on a lowrider... to feel that how is it being jumped all the way long, however in Russia we don't have such opportunity due to absence of warm weather... unfair...
Yup 🖤
One of POD best songs 🎵 I'm 57 and I still love them, my kids grow up listening this band
Man this song is still SOOO fresh. Just incredible😤 rappers these days wish they could rock this steez
This song gives me deep, almost painful sense of nostalgia…even back in high school when this first came out, those clean breaks gave me a profound sense of vast, urban nostalgia. To get music nerdy, those guitar octave stabs during the chorus really pile on the emotion…the first time it’s a 9th, the second time it’s a major 7th. That vague lack of resolution sends your brain into a spiral of bygone uncertainty.
Bro I love this explanation because I feel exactly the same way. I was in high school when this video dropped. Everyone had this album
It was a cultural reset.
Still gets me all these years later when he asks why it has to be like this...fir a second you can hear acute pain in his voice, almost crying and despite whether or not you ever fit in this scene the moment is true emotion anyone can understand, still today.
Dissonance my friend. Dissonance and syncopation. Moody and unresolved build means there's a longing to go "home" sonically, but as the song progresses you realise that the "home" you want to go back to, the clean predictable chorus, has changed and won't be the same, especially after that middle eight.
@@RatelHBadger
It’s funny because they *technically* resolve it each time but it doesn’t feel that way. The vague, dissonant harmony is just SO prominent, it’s the part that draws you in. I think the fact that the resolution is obscured by different octaves helps that effect, too. The higher octave stuff just feels desperate…like it’s trying to tell a greater truth that the power chords won’t reveal…
This song meant Soo much to me a teenager being a kid from the hood I always wanted to hear a rock song about the struggle
this band is awesome and one of a kind because there message is genuine and for real as GOD is at there core and thats what really matters in life and there blessing shine bright through there amazing music
Clearly. You haven't heard of many other bands like For Today, My Epic, Blindside, War of Ages, Phinehas... I could go on. There are plenty of bands that are bold in their faith! Try looking up bands on Facedown Records or most on Solid State Records. You're welcome ;)
Every time I play this song I have to replay it one more time like I just didn't get enough still jamming 2021

Yeah, hard to turn this one off. It's so good.
This song is one that requires double-taps for sure lol been that way since I first heard it in high school
Wuv reppin ZAO, Traa sporting Blindside. This was a great time to be alive.
Don't forget Sonny reppin No Innocent Victim
This song really helped me get through alot man.. brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it. 2020 here we come.
Same. As a young teenager, I can't tell you how many times this song helped me get through some really messed up shit. When I was about to break, this was one of the songs I could listen to and allow myself to angry cry myself into a more calm mood
You mean run World peace
No
What an era for music, and may not have lasted long but this genre still holds so much nostalgia for me.

Ahhh Nu Metal. Miss those days and the culture. Social media has forever changed us
I looking at this in the 2nd quarter of 2024 and I think it's the first time I've heard this song since I was a college student, so this is going back some years. This song still goes hard!
this song is so underrated heck this whole band is underrated
Praise God still feeling this after so many years. Thanks for the positive memories.

@J You must be great at parties.
I hear you bro praise God!
J C I don’t think God butters his toast that way if ya know what I mean
this song was one of my dad’s favorite songs back in high school, he showed me this song today (i’ve heard it when i was younger) but i can’t get enough of it, i always have to replay it. wish music was still like this..
One of the best POD songs ever. The video is amazing!
Over 20 years ago, I heard this for the first time. I still hear it the way I heard it back then, FULL VOLUME
Been a fan since 2001 when I first heard the Satellite album. This music STILL holds up today and this is what I call real music, not like the mainstream stuff.
I first saw this Video on a Southern California Christian TV Channel. The show was called G-Rock. It was a show my Brother and I watched religiously. It was a show with music videos and action sports; Like Skateboarding, Snowboarding, Bmx, etc.
This video was always a pleasure to see. We'd Mosh, and sing along. Those memories are priceless. Thanks POD!
It was the year 2000. We made it through the Y2K fiasco and yet the world haven't imploded. A summer of great music. Nu metal was finally mainstream.
Lol I was just thinking about this song
Devonte Amie Once 2001-2002 hit with poseur shit like Nickelback and Seether that's when it got stale. I started listening to cool shit like The Strokes and Interpol at that point. But this stuff still rocked in it's time
you cant say poser shit like nickelback and then mention the strokes and interpol
Summer 2000 was the best summer of my adolescence. 🤘🤙
Spoken like a true genius
This track came out my senior year in highschool. Making me 41 years old. 😂 Old man now! But I had the experience of being a teenager in the 90's.
Yes. It was fucking EPIC
I wish I could’ve experienced being a teen in the 90s. Being a teen in this generation isn’t fun
Agreed 😁
16-26 years old for me.
90s was all about the music.
Saw so many live performances, met so many musicians, some famous,some not,even partied with a few.
The 90’s were fantastic. You could do anything you want. Party non stop. Nobody would get offended. Pick-up lines were a thing. Got away with everything. Had a fucking blast. Love this song too.
It’s funny because everyone thinks their generation was the last great generation but the 90s truly was the last great decade. 9/11, the internet, politics etc. ruined it all. About to be 40 this year and still rock this one 🤘
Pod was underrated they forever rock
No they weren't. People knew they were the shit and they were very popular.
@@kim1570 But nowadays, POD is basically forgotten. When it comes down to who was the most memorable bands, people dismiss POD like they was an ok band which is absolute bullshit. What people don't even realize is that POD was one of the earliest to play Nu Metal, even before Korn...
@@j.m.1928 Yeah, the cool thing about p.o.d. is they had a lot of variety and influences like hardcore, metal, rap, and reggae. They don't get enough credit for their mix of styles, they were doing it early on.
@@mck7646 fax.
To this day this is probably the rawest video they have. Sheeesh. Just seeing everyone sing it word for word. Speaks crazy volumes
Their music has helped me tremendously with so many things. They are the reason I found faith in God. Love what they have done. This is one of their top 5 songs for sure!
+dhyatt95 Welcome to the family!
God is the reason you found faith in God.
i only know three songs of P.O.D
Youth of Nation
Alive
and Southtown.
They earned the fame and wealth
to live well-off.
I personally thank the Atlanta Record
to have audience get a chance to
be exposed to maintain the glimpse of what Hybrid_Metal core CCM be like.
Plus, again, the stage is the top of the game, folks hhhhh
I remember the night I first heard this song on the radio. The DJ announced, “New music from P.O.D...” and my excitement that a Christian band broke through and was being played on secular radio, I was thrilled! I was already familiar with their previous albums Snuff the Punk and BROWN, but this song gave me chills.
Back in highschool I use to make skate videos which included my crew of friends & fellow skaters. We're talking total DIY production. But for one reason or another kids at my school would buy em up. Anyway, the opening part was my best friend Chuck & he was so fucking adamant about having this song during his part. Truth be told, it was hands down the best part. The music and editing matched up so good. Crazy to think it's a little over 20 yrs since those simpler times.
"Why's it got to be like THIS!!!!"
Watching videos of the sad state of this world and this song popped into my head. I forgot how badass P.O.D. actually was. This was always a song that I would blast when it came on driving around in my high-school days. Man, how did I forget about this amazing band?
whenever I go through dark times, POD will always let me know that if I make it back this time got to the hold whats mine and thank God that I made it alive
Still rocking this at 33yrs old. First heard you guys at 14-16yrs old. Thanks for all the hits!
same man, 33 and just hearing this again in over a decade. Not ever gonna go that long without listening again. Now its an EDC song for me lol
Who else is part of that generation? Teenagers in the late 90's with baggy pants and loose shirts haha, I spent every day watching MTV waiting and enjoying those videos: Limp Bizkit, POD, Paparoach, Linkin Park, Creed, and soon on.
Creed is a shit
You ain't alone bro.
I was an 80s generation teenager born in 71 loved when I discovered these guys still blast them
I grew up in that Era. Granted I was listening to stuff most people my age weren't (In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Cannibal Corpse, etc). This so g was a banger though. Unfortunately it was the only song I liked by POD.
Me and my Solo pants lol.
heard this one live yesterday and BRUH...... their energy is wholesome, they interacted with the crowd until no one stood still. we sung the last chorus so vividly i thought it was a dream
This song brings back a lot of memories of Senior Year in highschool
I remember meeting P.O.D. at the Inside Out Soul Christian Music Festival many moons ago. Sonny was nice enough to call me at home a few weeks later to check in! :)
God I remember when this came on MTV. Had to be 13. God I miss the 2000
That abuelita making tortillas and the guy serving tacos on the street made me hungry.
Lots of good vibes with this video and I like the family oriented atmosphere.
I was 11 years old when this dropped and I related to it instantly. I thought it was so cool that a band like this had a great message and believed what I believed. Pushing 28 now and I still feel the same way. God bless you P.O.D.
This band always makes me cry inside with happiness . so much feelings in each song . . Love this guys!My favorite band of all time
This song is so hard.
Need music like this again instead of garbage mumble rap
@@Danfrombackhome you preach it brother.
So agressive... perfect to training
@a S sounds like a good fucking time
Right!
This was the college years for me, it banged then and now.
but I admire the work you guys do. I'm a Christian but see so much of what God wants of us lost in these buildings called churches. with pod whosoevers the wire church you guys are are doing what God need. bring and teach those who wouldn't go. you take it to them. thank you
+Xnet 360 I know their music well. and we've misunderstood my last message. I have a deep relationship with god but I don't belive in religion. but they open doors that the average non believers would never have or know. that's what I meant
+Xnet 360 also on the son alive the verse that says so I trust in love and I trust in love. main stream changed it from so I trust in love and I trust in god
CLASSIC
this song will never get old
The first song I ever downloaded on napster and I'm back here 20+ years later wtffffff
POD ROCKS!! Rocked South Town way back in early 2000's and now with "Drop" in 2024 POD still crushin' it to this day!!!
This song........ it never gets old. 90s rock at it's best.
Still an amazing song, amazing band. Absolutely staggering live show. Im 38 and this hits just as hard now as then. Music for the soul that doesnt know how not to scream.
Man this song brings back so many high school memories.
Oh man the 90s!!!!!! Glad I lived through this time of amazing music. I remember when this came out!!
Dude that beggining riff is so powerful man. Makes me feel so many things I can’t even explain, it also like makes me reflect my entire life, so much power in just the sound made by a guitar! Love it man. Wish I could’ve been a teenager when this music was first coming out. Maybe then I would fit in with people who also like this.
Life isn't about fitting in. It's about being yourself.
The older I get the more I don't care what others think. I've always just been me, if they're cool with it we can be friends. If not, they can stay away and not bring me down.
@@leftyeh6495 yeah i know man. i dont really mind not having friends, im cool rollin solo, but it gets lonely sometimes lol, it would b cool to appriciate n talk ab this music w someone yk
POD representing so many great bands on their backs in this video! I see a blindside shirt, a Zao shirt, No Innocent Victim, chevelle, project 86. Good ol days
Do those bands sound like this?
***** only one i could think of was early project 86 but i found 1 thing funny how all of those bands except chevelle was christian
***** Chevelle was signed with a Christian label at the time
chevelle still kicks ass
***** not all of them no
I remember when this first hit back in 1999, instant fan...25 years later...still a fan. Thank you P.O.D. for the many years of great music!
POD cemented their legacy on this song, timeless and will never get tired hearing this banger
thank God for make me alive.
My daughter just learned this song on guitar. She's grown up on only the best music of course. I'm proud of my rockstar.
Man.. growing up in San Diego, being an angsty 14 or so year old, bumping this every day.. I felt so badass whenever I’d play this lol
Saw these guys live last night (1-30-22) live in Dallas, TX!! My first time seeing them live! It was awesome!!!!!!
Just to clarify… I saw them live lol. xD
here in the southtown yeah you know the kid don't play put it down in the streets will I see another day if I make it back this time I gotta hold what is mine and thank God that I made it out alive
2020 aqui, mais uma vez apreciando música de qualidade! BRASIL 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 P.O.D Best ever!
NU metal pra sempre maninho
Eu sempre.
Forever 🔥🤘
Esse som é foda pra caralho.
O chorão copiou eles kkkk
Going through some tough times. Doesn't even feel like my birthday today. Thanks for reminding me to be grateful
Keep strong
Fun fact. Pod filmed this vid at the beach 3 blocks from where i live! Marcos had a side band called scaretatic who played local shows wit my friend.s band sickwize! I met all the guys from pod at a cafe on 3rd ave n eventually got invited to their cookouts! The kid wit the scooby doo shirt is my friend tito in the video! He was in middle school at the time! Much love to these guys for keepin it real. Put imperial beach/san diego on the map. This is their best song imo
Thats dope!!
haha I was looking for where is that, thx
They from San ysidro tho...o and dope to see another black person into POD
@@russelladams7627 and? They still put i.b on the map cos of this video! They come here a lot! N yea i love metal n punk! Thats all i listen to! My fav band is KoRn tho.
@@trinaharris1312 for sure that's wats up didn't know that. Korn is a cool band too
2020 and still loving this !!!amen
Here I am, listening like it's the first time.
At 56, I must say that this song clicked with me in my 40s. My kids were in their 20s but this was not their kind of music. It got me through a dark time. The heavy hitting guitar helped a lot.
It's so amazing that so many memories and feelings arise with this song . Listening in my headphones as a kid with my skateboard and now in my 30s drivng around with my kids at the back seat... The energy remains the same ! Thanks for the music guys!
I was a freshman in HS when this came out... This was the first song I EVER downloaded online from Napster...
Hell yeah. I definitely remember downloading this on Napster at work when I was in the navy
and people loving the song.
one of my fav songs in the 90s 😍
