    Good Charlotte is a pop punk band from Waldorf, Maryland who, have played a vital role in the alternative rock, emo, punk rock community. Starting out in 1996, they found success with their debut self-titled album, with two of its singles - ‘Little Things’ and ‘Festival Song’ - both charting in the Top 10. Among their top songs includes, “The River,” "The Anthem” and "I Just Wanna Live". Additionally, the group have charted six songs in the US Hot 100, the most successful being 2002’s ‘Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous’, which went to No. 1 on the Alternative chart. Good Charlotte’s signature sound has made them one of the most recognizable bands of the genre, garnering them a handful of MTV Video Music Awards and an NRJ Award over the years. Throughout the years, the group has continued to produce solid releases with consistent collaborations, ranging from Waka Flocka Flame and Waterparks to Sam Carter. Good Charlotte marked their two-decade anniversary with the release of their seventh studio album, Generation Rx, highlighting their standing as one of the definitive names of the genre.

    Baptized in the river (on my own)
    I wanna be delivered
    Baptized in the river (on my own)
    I wanna be delivered
    Baptized in the river (on my own)
    I wanna be delivered
    I confess I'm a sinner
    I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered

      I remember back when Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous was just worn out on the radio being two or three times on the way to school and on the way back from school everyday for over a couple of months I'm pretty sure and that's being very lenient with the time! I never understood why this song didn't get no where near that much airtime it was way better, and it was cool of Matt and Synyster to help out by being in the song because they had already started getting quite a bit of recognition by that time along with the fact that they made that song what it was with their parts without taking all the shine away from GC which earns them more respect from me!

When it first came out I was living in my car so strung out on Heroin and prescription opiates that I lost everything and everyone in my young life then,..I wooly drive to this abandon bridge every night.. And just scream 'LIKE THE PRODIGAL SON,I WAS OUT ON MY OWN NOW IM TRYIN TO FIND MY WAY BACK HOME.. BAPTISED IN THE RIVER.. I'M DELIVERED"...
    I finally seen the vision of my life.. And I delivered myself through that fire.. Sober 9 yrs thanks to amazing songs like this That kept me fighting... NEVER GIVE UP MY FRIENDS.. NO MATTER HOW DARK THE PATH BECOMES.. TRUST THAT IF U KEEP WALKING.. YOU'LL FIND THE LIGHT EVENTUALLY,!

    I remember listening to this when I was 8 the song melody and tone caught me and when I got older I really understood the lyrics.
    "As I walk through the valley of the shadow of LA" *is him comparing the modern city to a place of wickidness*.
    "Footsteps that were next to me have gone their seperate ways" *When he embarked on his path to God people who he though would be by his side no matter the reasoning have abandoned him and he is on this journey alone.*
    "Baptized in the River on my own" *He says that even if there is no Baptist he will do it alone he will do it himself.*

    @xdudeawesomeness 8 лет назад +179

    You can tell how skilled of musicians M. Shadows and Synyster Gates are because of how they didn't just show off the whole time. They could have easily stolen the show, but they adapted to the genre and the band and killed it with simplicity, especially on Syn's part. He could've just swept arpeggios that whole time, but he just gave a simple, melodic solo.

    • @CallsignSlate
      @CallsignSlate 8 лет назад +14

    • @mcorp4268

      +CallsignSlate - Many of Syn's solos with A7X are melodic, even some of the more technical ones. He usually doesn't just try to show off (for example sweeping during a ballad would be showing off), and he just does what fits the song the best.

    The footsteps that were next to me have gone their separate ways
    I've seen enough now
    To know that beautiful things don't always stay that way
    I've done enough now
    To know this beautiful place isn't everything they say
    I heard that evil comes disguised
    Like the city of angels
    I'm walking towards the light
    Baptized in the river
    I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered
    In the city was a sinner
    I've done a lot of things wrong, but I swear I'm a believer
    Like the prodigal son, I was out on my own
    Now I'm trying to find my way back home
    Baptized in the river
    I'm delivered
    I'm delivered
    You're from a small town, you're gonna grow up fast
    Underneath these lights
    Down in Hollywood on the boulevard
    The dead come back to life
    To the praying mother, and the worried father
    Let your children go
    If they'll come back, they'll come home stronger
    And if they don't, you'll know
    They say evil comes disguised
    Like the city of angels
    I'm walking towards the light
    Baptized in the river
    I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered
    In the city was a sinner
    I've done a lot of things wrong, but I swear I'm a believer
    Like the prodigal son, I was out on my own
    Now I'm trying to find my way back home
    Baptized in the river
    I'm delivered
    I'm delivered
    Baptized in the river (on my own)
    Baptized in the river (on my own)
    I wanna be delivered
    On my own
    On my own
    Baptized in the river (on my own)
    I wanna be delivered
    Baptized in the river (on my own)
    I wanna be delivered
    Baptized in the river (on my own)
    I wanna be delivered
    I confess I'm a sinner
    I've seen a vision of my life and I wanna be delivered

  • @Hellomynameisrandall
    @Hellomynameisrandall 9 лет назад +171

    People in the comments are hating towards Synyster Gates' solo at the end of the song, it is a pop-punk song. Good Charlotte is a pop-punk band and the pacing is way different from a normal Avenged Sevenfold song. He couldn't just rip open a face melter and it just fit in with the song. I thought the solo sounded fine with the song.

The fact that Shads and Gates are in this makes it a damn good song. In my opinion all you gotta do to make ANY song of ANY genre better is if you add more A7X :D

      I dont get how Christian music is even a genre... to be honest it JUST the lyrics that are about chritianity. Lyrics dont define the song. The way the song is played by tge band defines the song. Lyrics could be about, God, a goat, a lego, or death of a best friend. There's a difference between story, and genre of a song. If it sounds nice listen to it, if it doesnt, don't.

    • @michaelmartinez8868
      @michaelmartinez8868 9 лет назад +2

    For anybody wondering: This song isn't about Christianity or religion at all. It's just using it as a metaphor. The song is about living in L.A. trying to make it big in the industry and how it's not always as great and glamorized as it looks but once you're in, it's tough to get out.

    Lyrics are deep. As a Christian I approve this song. It is a beautiful Holy song also.
