This is legit just foiotage of a guy singing about god, but i couldn't even hear it because the music is so annoying. I'm sorry for the hate, but this needs some negative feedback
I found this song back in 2016 when I had my daughter. She was born 13 weeks early and we spend 106 days in the NICU. I felt like God was testing my strength as a beloved daughter, and as a beloved wife - Now a mother. I never knew the strength I had in me and how much I needed Him. His love, his understanding, his grace. I remember signing this song to my daughter, holding her fragile body against my chest as she was attached to IVs and ventilator with tears rolling down my face. I never felt so much at peace in the mist of the biggest storm of my life. This song means so much to me, I play it help my daughter to sleep every night now. It has become one of my favorite and I believe it became her’s too. Thank you.
I just found this song today, January 2023, and ohhh God, thank You for the little winks You give to let me know You’re there and seeing me. I love You Lord, I thank You Lord, and I praise You in all my storms. YOU are my firm foundation and I am so so so so so blessed You never stop chasing us.
These are men of God who have lifted me. Im in addiction and those words help me to find and now God promises can you of little Faith see that instead of the illuminati grow up please
I don't think I will be adequately able to express how this song spoke to me today. It was like it was written for me, for this struggle I find myself in today. So thankful when God allows a song to resonate with your heart.
I’m not really to comment on a TH-cam video but I had to. February 14th I lost my son, my ex was 5 months pregnant when we lost our baby. Today April 24th I’m still broken but I just really felt like listening to this song. I never really knew the lyrics to this song but today it broke me down, and I know God has a hold on me. If I can ask everyone who reads this message for prayers amen.
@Luis Esparza - God be with you, brother. I know that your comment was posted 7 months ago, but I imagine that you still suffer from the heartache of this tragic loss. I just want to say - God bless you. Jesus Christ loves you. His heart aches when your heart aches He moarns when you moarn. He truly cares when you go through hard times like this. But I say that it's okay to praise the Lord even through this storm. He LOVES YOU! There is relief, joy, and peace to be found in Him. Amen.
Oh my goodness... saw them in Ks City last night. They were the band before John Mayer. They were unbelievable. I could have listened to them for hours. They were the perfect start to a gorgeous evening. I had never heard of them before last night... I am a big fan already.
almost lost my daughter before she was born. i heard and played this song for her. sang it to her through my wife belly crying nightly just asking god to being her home to us. thank you god! shes gonna be 10❤️
I praise God that He finally opened my eyes!!!! But it took falling into a deep, deep pit before I allowed Him to do so. The devil made me believe that what I saw was so good. But, when my eyes were open my eyes to His grace, His mercy and His love, well I can't describe it with words.
God won in you, you have Him on your side! God bless you, Todd. He will continue to work in you. I pray you have many more happy years of knowing the one true Lord. ❤️
*I LOVE THIS SONG, my anthem in the hard days where I feel like curling up in fetal position, and forget about testifying or sharing burdens with others. others need to be encouraged and loved* :)
I listened to The Reckoning album the entire 13 hr drive to a new place, away from family and friends. I was so alone but it was something I needed. This song has been my anthem in all the rough times.
This song is stunning! I had the hardest time ever getting through 8th grade, loosing friends, loneliness, and watching everyone disappear in front of my eyes. Over that time I began to listening NEEDTOBREATHE, and it felt as if I wasn't alone, and gave me that sliver of hope I needed. Keep it up you guys!
I just discovered this song on supernatural for meta quest. Omg I had no idea it was already 8 years old! It’s so good and so fun to “play” on supernatural 😂😂
I sat in the car listening to Air1 one about to just give up then this song came on and made me realise how lucky I am to be born in this country and that jesus takes care of me.
This is the day the LORD has made let us rejoice and be glad in it! -Psalm 118:24(Look to God where ever your are and spread the good news! He loves you!)
This song kept me focused on my dream, through many struggles, over many years. I'm still not there yet, so I still find it encouraging. I think it is the band's way of saying what they hear God say, as they do in many other of their songs. "My love" is the way God would talk to us. There's a scripture about watching out for traps from our Enemy, Satan;, depending on which interpretation of the Bible you read it may actually say "keep your eyes open" "Show me your fire, show me your heart" is God encouraging us to show our faith & speak it, live it. "I'll never let you fall apart" because God never lets us fall apart completely when we trust in Him That's my 2 cents anyway
Love how this one song is describing how we should be aware and step in our faith despite what is to come. "Don't let your night become your day", awesome. Love you guys!!❤
I feeling overwhelmed with life lately and listening to this song over and over again this morning has made me feel so much better now.. I thank God for Christian music... THANK YOU SO MUCH..
if you never leave home youll never make it to the great unknown...if we never leave our comfort we'll never know what beautiful plans the Lord has for us!!!
This band deserves so much more recognition, its insane. They are just so incredibly talented, and the music that they produce because of that, is absolutely beautiful. Keep doing what you are doing, Needtobreathe, and one day, everybody's lives will be blessed with your music. THANK YOU.
listening to the lyrics feels like God is talking directly to me, this song is such a reminder to stay focused on Him and everything is going to be okay
"you know i'll never let you fall apart" those words are so moving when I think about how God feels that way about us. This song is so beautiful and touching
My husband and I had the awesome privilege of meeting these wonderful guys at a concert years ago. They were very humble and kind. Took the time to speak personally to a large group of fans. Really nice guys! And their music is amazing!! :)
Shadow0Striker So sorry, just in such unbearable grief it felt good to let it out for a second. I'm sorry if I offended you. Clearly you're a miserable person that wants only to be hurtful. Perhaps saying nothing at all would have been a better choice for me and for you. Kindness reaps rewards, hatefulness reaps bad Karma. I hope your children are safe and live a long and happy life. Blessing!
When you've convinced yourself that you're so in love with this man that doesn't see the beauty in himself that I see so damn clearly. I may not be the right one for him and that's okay. I hope he finds something so beautiful. Keep your eyes open my love.
LYRICS If you could soldier on Headstrong into the storm I'll be here waiting on the other side Don't look back The road is long The first days of the war are gone Take back your former throne and turn the tide 'Cause if you never leave home, never let go You'll never make it to the great unknown till you Keep your eyes open, my love So tell me you're strong, tell me you see I need to hear it, can you promise me to Keep your eyes open, my love Just past the circumstance The first light, a second chance No child could ever dance the way you do, oh Tear down the prison walls Don't start the curtain call Your chains will never fall until you do 'Cause if you never leave home, never let go You'll never make it to the great unknown till you Keep your eyes open, my love So show me your fire, show me your heart You know I'll never let you fall apart if you Keep your eyes open, my love Open up Open up Open up your eyes The weight is unbroken Open up Open up Open up your eyes Keep your eyes open Don't let the night become the day Don't take the darkness to the grave I know pain is just a place The will has been broken Don't let the fear become the hate Don't take the sadness to the grave I know the fight is on the way When the sides have been chosen 'Cause if you never leave home, never let go You'll never make it to the great unknown Open up your eyes Keep your eyes open So tell me you're strong, tell me you see I need to hear it, can you promise me to Keep your eyes open, my love So show me your fire, show me your heart You know I'll never let you fall apart if you Keep your eyes open, my love Keep your eyes (Keep your eyes open)
Heard this song for the first time on Air1 while in a Mixology battle for Colton Dixon, and I can't begin to explain how much it means to me. It soothes me, encourages me when I feel trapped and helpless. So incredible.
These. Guys. Are. Incredibly. Gifted. I love this song! My hubby and I had the pleasure of meeting them a few years ago. They are such great guys and they are so personable and kind! We have every cd and we love them all!!
@@bennettfriesen33 faith is in its literal definition blind to the eyes.. Not being able to see, feel or otherwise sense the subject of your faith but to believe with blindness regardless because you can sense this something in other ways that aren't through physical fleshly senses but spiritual and heart based senses. That is faith.
I dont comment on much on anything but I wanted to put here how much this song got me through 2016. The year I left home and never went back. I joined the Marine Corps and still going after 7 years. Needtobreathe has gotten me through so much since I was little girl. God Bless everyone!
This song actually changed my life, and was the deciding factor of me moving. And when things get tough, I listen to this song as a reminder of where I'm going, and where I came from.
This is just one of my go to songs when I'm happy, sad, and struggling. This gives me hope for a better day. I loved this song before I even understood what it really was talking about. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
Was driving to work and as always had my radio on my Christian radio station and BAM!!!! I heard this song...did my Shazam and here we are now...I love this song and way the message...praise Jesus!!!
I don’t care what people say about my music preferences, my eyes are open and I love Jesus. We must be children of God, and not be ashamed of loving our father. I discovered them in 2012, and their music still touches my heart. 💗
Thank you so much NEEDTOBREATHE !!! I'm from Israel, and i like to tell you that i really think that you are the most amazing band ,i really got excited from every song that i hear,so , do not ever .stop .playing!!
There was a time when I thought the lyrics to this song made no sense, but I think I finally get it. Jesus is telling you to give up your sinful life, put all your trust in Him and don't look back, AND you can STRUT all the way to the pearly gates while blasting this track!!!! Whooaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!
Despite being Atheist, I still enjoy this song and a few other Christian songs as well. I listen to Christian music simply because (most of the time) the songs can be interpreted in other ways that don't involve god and biblical meanings. This song from my view is about "keeping your eyes open" even through the bad times so that you don't miss out on "seeing" the beautiful things in life.
Yeah I don't see this song as only applying to faith. I say the "great unknown" is just the future you don't know of, and the fact that it is unknown is beautiful, yet scary. You just gotta keep pushing and face the things ahead of you.
Christian bands for the most part try to inspire in anyway. They do it to attract atheists so they will listen, not for more listeners but so some people that might not even think of Christianity until it's put in vocal form
+Ben Baker thats not entirely true. Yes, Christian bands put songs out to inspire others and help them through tough times, but mostly to give glory to God. NEEDTOBREATHE always say they try to keep away from 'religious' standpoints because they want everyone to listen to their music and feel something. If you are not a Christian that shouldn't stop you from listening to their music because it is good music. If you are, then great!
Yeah NEEDTOBREATHE does what few other Christian bands do, and that's broaden a message based on their faith. They don't limit themselves to worship music, and though I am Christian and do listen to Christian music A LOT, I really appreciate them beccause a. Bear's voice is so unique and amazing and b. they have a way of connecting to multiple types of people
This song was iconic to me as a 10-year-old hearing it on repeat when it first came out. I thought it was okay then, but now I have no choice but to STAN IT. This is a masterpiece that deserves many more views and likes! XD
While for many people, either Jesus or Long Island Medium brought them to this video, I was brought here because I've loved this band for years, and I needed to catch up on their new music. Doesn't matter how you find this video, it's just plain awesome that you found it in the first place, because it deserves the attention. :)
I just love love love this group!!! I share it all the time...lyrics are so RIGHT on ...his voice is one of the best and its all about Gods gift/talent..hands down my FAV christian band!!!
4 all mankind/we are one, we are infinite.wat u put out you will receivein return.The power of the spoken word..may each living thing have eternal life.
I love that their songs can be interpreted a number of different ways. They write lyrics are meaningful and emotional and allow for everyone to find their own meaning as they are impacted by the song. That is one of the reasons they are such great songwriters.
This song gives me goosebumps! I feel like this is what God is saying when we want to just hide from our problems. We can do ANYTHING with Him Who is our Strength. 💚
Too many start out great singers,with sincere,heart felt music,and then just spiral down into bad language and content.They just start to lose their appeal. Need To Breathe appears to have gained it from the 30+ songs I've checked out. And their first songs already had amazing appeal. Thank You Need To Breathe. You are blessed,and it is a blessing to hear your music.
I cant wait till they get discovered and become like skillet (As in views) because they deserve wayyyy more views than this they're amazing I cant wait to see them in concert one day :P
I really hope they can get on the Winter Jam tour eventually. I'd love to see them live. On a side note, I saw Skillet live last Thursday on the Winter Jam tour and they were really great. They have amazing energy live and they sound good too.
If you could soldier on Headstrong into the storm I’ll be here waiting on the other side Don’t look back The road is long The first days of the war are gone Take back your former throne and turn the tide Cause if you never leave home, never let go You’ll never make it to the great unknown till you Keep your eyes open, my love So tell me you’re strong, tell me you see I need to hear it, can you promise me to Keep your eyes open, my love Just past the circumstance The first light, a second chance No child could ever dance the way you do, oh Tear down the prison walls Don’t start the curtain call Your chains will never fall until you do Cause if you never leave home, never let go You’ll never make it to the great unknown till you Keep your eyes open, my love So show me your fire, show me your heart You know I’ll never let you fall apart if you Keep your eyes open, my love Open up Open up Open up your eyes The weight is unbroken Open up Open up Open up your eyes Keep your eyes open Don’t let the night become the day Don’t take the darkness to the grave I know pain is just a place The will has been broken Don’t let the fear become the hate Don’t take the sadness to the grave I know the fight is on the way When the sides have been chosen Cause if you never leave home, never let go You’ll never make it to the great unknown Open up your eyes Keep your eyes open So tell me you’re strong, tell me you see I need to hear it, can you promise me to Keep your eyes open, my love So show me your fire, show me your heart You know I’ll never let you fall apart if you Keep your eyes open, my love Keep your eyes (Keep your eyes open)
I am thinking of you often with so much love, so so much love. & even after all these years of this hell, because please don't forget that you are YOU, not the affliction, beautiful soul.... I hope you never feel alone because you are constantly in my mind, heart, and prayers. I will give you everything to persevere for, I will fight for you until you are ready to fight for yourself. I miss you dearly. Keep your eyes open, my Love
I "left home" and find myself in "the great unknown." What a great song! Who cares how many views it has. It ministers! I believe that is the band's purpose, to minister to those who seek The Messiah. Need to Breathe, thank you. I praise Adonai and His Messiah for you.
I love this song and i feel like it is saying that just like the disciples how they left what they where doing to go follow Jesus that we to are to leave "home" what we are familiar with and follow after Him. the whole if you never leave home never let go you'll never make it to the great unknown is what I'm talking about, you'll never make it to the great unknown if you don't let go of the world and its possessions.
This band is truely blessed, if there is any doubt to some people that God/Yahweh/Alah/Krishna doesn't exist, there is your proof, a perfect storm of talent coming together to show people a better path trought music. We are all unique and amazing, we all have souls (although there are some evil people who do not), the very proof of this is our ability to create beautiful things, such as this band creating it's music. Keep your eyes open indeed...
I woke up from surgery in August with this song playing in my head. 😊❤
I think this song just saved my life.
I needed to hear this too! God uses His perfect timing and impeccable use of signs and wonders to speak to us!
Yeah brother!
You all meed help
This is legit just foiotage of a guy singing about god, but i couldn't even hear it because the music is so annoying.
I'm sorry for the hate, but this needs some negative feedback
I keep coming back to listen for encouragement!
This is NTB’s best song, in my opinion. Great lyrics that carry different meanings and phenomenal vocals. Definitely my favorite song from them
Soldier on, the road is long 😢
I miss you so much babe.
"Your chains will never fall until you do."
Powerful.
When did Christian music become this good God certainly has gone up in the world
This is still one of the powerful songs I've ever heard in my entire life!
I found this song back in 2016 when I had my daughter. She was born 13 weeks early and we spend 106 days in the NICU. I felt like God was testing my strength as a beloved daughter, and as a beloved wife - Now a mother.

I remember signing this song to my daughter, holding her fragile body against my chest as she was attached to IVs and ventilator with tears rolling down my face.

This song means so much to me, I play it help my daughter to sleep every night now. It has become one of my favorite and I believe it became her’s too.
Thank you.
You are so strong. Your daughter is lucky to have you as her mama
I just found this song today, January 2023, and ohhh God, thank You for the little winks You give to let me know You’re there and seeing me. I love You Lord, I thank You Lord, and I praise You in all my storms. YOU are my firm foundation and I am so so so so so blessed You never stop chasing us.
10 years later and i'm still in LOVE with this song and video!!
These are men of God who have lifted me. Im in addiction and those words help me to find and now God promises can you of little Faith see that instead of the illuminati grow up please
I don't think I will be adequately able to express how this song spoke to me today. It was like it was written for me, for this struggle I find myself in today. So thankful when God allows a song to resonate with your heart.
This song gave me hope to go on after i lost my only child. I later had an other child. I truly believe this song had a message for me
keep your Spiritual eyes open for all things of God.
Yes praise allah
allah is not God@@sweetserenity4145
I am a follower of Jesus Christ. He protects me and makes me strong with the love I have within that strengthen me
Amazing !
0:16 Everyone who ever used those projectors knew never to have the light on with the film not moving! It would melt the film!
Well, it is a production (obviously) and you can see there is no film in it. Neat observation though

This song sounds like freedom or relief after stressful times it’s like a breath of fresh air and new beginnings
Who notices the Diff in the eye pieces at 2:20 One is dark and one is light. Neat huh
This deserves more views.
I agree
we gotta keep them relatively a secret so we can see them in concert.
Hard to keep a band that has both gold record album and a gold record single, a secret.
corinthian123 I herd that
The Final Link They're an amazing Christian band. Heard they are incredible in concert too!
A fellow in recovery sent me this song and I opened it with resentment and now wipe tears from my cheek. I needed this. Thank you.
almost lost my daughter before she was born. i heard and played this song for her. sang it to her through my wife belly crying nightly just asking god to being her home to us. thank you god! shes gonna be 10❤️
God is in the business of performing miracles and doing the impossible 🙌🏻🙏🏻
God bless you guys for dedicating your incredibly amazing talents to our creator. Thank you for the encouraging music you offer.
Sam and Nia i watch your videos.your pretty cool.nice.kind.sweet.i hope you make more videos :) god bless you.your kids are AMAZING :)
The little girl is so adorable.the boy is so handsome.and the older girl is so beautiful.

Ten years of this marvelous song/music video!
April, 3 2022 (Sunday)
pain is just a place the will has been broken meaning pain isn't meant to break us but strengthen us in God
truthseeker89 for life nice! Thank u for that....i kept going over that verse
Thankyou :)
To all those making judgements about the symbols. It also represents the all seeing eye of God, filled with light, who knows the heart of every man.
best song ever...hands down!!!
This song is stunning! I had the hardest time ever getting through 8th grade, loosing friends, loneliness, and watching everyone disappear in front of my eyes. Over that time I began to listening NEEDTOBREATHE, and it felt as if I wasn't alone, and gave me that sliver of hope I needed. Keep it up you guys!
Hang in there! For me that was nearly 50 years ago and I still remember how I endured it. Life changes and the difficulties do pass.
I want this played at my funeral...
as encouragement from the love God gave us
I just discovered this song on supernatural for meta quest. Omg I had no idea it was already 8 years old! It’s so good and so fun to “play” on supernatural 😂😂

This is the day the LORD has made let us rejoice and be glad in it! -Psalm 118:24(Look to God where ever your are and spread the good news! He loves you!)
This is by far the best song by NTB.

11 years later this song still finds me
What a powerfull Song Bro 🤗 Hallelujah
He is risen בה
He's coming on the clouds and all will עין Him ♡
The voice of the lead singer reminds of the lead singer of Kings Of Leon...such a beautiful song!
listening to the lyrics feels like God is talking directly to me, this song is such a reminder to stay focused on Him and everything is going to be okay
"you know i'll never let you fall apart" those words are so moving when I think about how God feels that way about us. This song is so beautiful and touching
Best lines ever "pain is just a place The will has been broken"
My husband and I had the awesome privilege of meeting these wonderful guys at a concert years ago. They were very humble and kind. Took the time to speak personally to a large group of fans. Really nice guys! And their music is amazing!! :)
Show me your fire show me your heart you know I ll never let you fall apart
My son committed suicide 6 weeks ago, he loved this song so much. It was the last song played at his funeral. Heartbroken he didn't hear the message.
Shadow0Striker you are awful! shame on you! God bless you Lisa Grannan!
I'm so sorry....I hope you find peace sister. My condolences. God bless..
Thank you
If you don't mind, I would like to pray for you Lisa Grannan.
Shadow0Striker So sorry, just in such unbearable grief it felt good to let it out for a second. I'm sorry if I offended you. Clearly you're a miserable person that wants only to be hurtful. Perhaps saying nothing at all would have been a better choice for me and for you. Kindness reaps rewards, hatefulness reaps bad Karma. I hope your children are safe and live a long and happy life. Blessing!
I’m not an easy crier and I’ve been up most of the night with tears. Come back Bo. This seriously devastated me in an already horrible situation.
I hadn't heard this song in so long, still an amazing song
They speak to my heart in a way no other artist does. God is using them In a mighty way to glorify himself
When you've convinced yourself that you're so in love with this man that doesn't see the beauty in himself that I see so damn clearly. I may not be the right one for him and that's okay. I hope he finds something so beautiful. Keep your eyes open my love.
Emma H thank you
Underrate song that beat feel happy.
Congratulations Mick Foley, Mankind, Dude Love, Cactus Jack and of course Mr Socko

LYRICS
If you could soldier on
Headstrong into the storm
I'll be here waiting on the other side
Don't look back
The road is long
The first days of the war are gone
Take back your former throne and turn the tide
'Cause if you never leave home, never let go
You'll never make it to the great unknown till you
Keep your eyes open, my love
So tell me you're strong, tell me you see
I need to hear it, can you promise me to
Keep your eyes open, my love
Just past the circumstance
The first light, a second chance
No child could ever dance the way you do, oh
Tear down the prison walls
Don't start the curtain call
Your chains will never fall until you do
'Cause if you never leave home, never let go
You'll never make it to the great unknown till you
Keep your eyes open, my love
So show me your fire, show me your heart
You know I'll never let you fall apart if you
Keep your eyes open, my love
Open up
Open up
Open up your eyes
The weight is unbroken
Open up
Open up
Open up your eyes
Keep your eyes open
Don't let the night become the day
Don't take the darkness to the grave
I know pain is just a place
The will has been broken
Don't let the fear become the hate
Don't take the sadness to the grave
I know the fight is on the way
When the sides have been chosen
'Cause if you never leave home, never let go
You'll never make it to the great unknown
Open up your eyes
Keep your eyes open
So tell me you're strong, tell me you see
I need to hear it, can you promise me to
Keep your eyes open, my love
So show me your fire, show me your heart
You know I'll never let you fall apart if you
Keep your eyes open, my love
Keep your eyes (Keep your eyes open)
People who do these comments are good people (keep up the good work)
@@dawnr9938 thank you so much ^^
Thank you for posting lyrics
Heard this song for the first time on Air1 while in a Mixology battle for Colton Dixon, and I can't begin to explain how much it means to me. It soothes me, encourages me when I feel trapped and helpless. So incredible.
Are we here in 2024??❤
Hell yeah 🤟🥳
О да!
Yes!
Ofc!😊
Of course!❤
These. Guys. Are. Incredibly. Gifted. I love this song! My hubby and I had the pleasure of meeting them a few years ago. They are such great guys and they are so personable and kind! We have every cd and we love them all!!
question everything. for even God would prefer honest questions, than blind faith.
James Scott glad I'm not the only one
Amen to that
If faith is always blind, it can't even be called faith. However, blind faith is all we have sometimes and that's not bad.
@@bennettfriesen33 faith is in its literal definition blind to the eyes.. Not being able to see, feel or otherwise sense the subject of your faith but to believe with blindness regardless because you can sense this something in other ways that aren't through physical fleshly senses but spiritual and heart based senses. That is faith.
Sometimes I question whether I've been saved or not
I dont comment on much on anything but I wanted to put here how much this song got me through 2016. The year I left home and never went back. I joined the Marine Corps and still going after 7 years. Needtobreathe has gotten me through so much since I was little girl. God Bless everyone!
This song actually changed my life, and was the deciding factor of me moving. And when things get tough, I listen to this song as a reminder of where I'm going, and where I came from.
I Thank God for your ministry....HELPS SO MANY!
This song gives me so much hope! When all is lost!!!
I am your biggest fan NEEDTOBREATHE!!!
This is just one of my go to songs when I'm happy, sad, and struggling. This gives me hope for a better day. I loved this song before I even understood what it really was talking about. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
Was driving to work and as always had my radio on my Christian radio station and BAM!!!! I heard this song...did my Shazam and here we are now...I love this song and way the message...praise Jesus!!!
attacking the replay button!!
I don’t care what people say about my music preferences, my eyes are open and I love Jesus. We must be children of God, and not be ashamed of loving our father. I discovered them in 2012, and their music still touches my heart. 💗
Thank you so much NEEDTOBREATHE !!!
I'm from Israel, and i like to tell you that i really think that you are the most amazing band ,i really got excited from every song that i hear,so , do not ever .stop .playing!!
שחר תסה what is it like brig Christian in Israel?
What is it like being Christian in Israel?
There was a time when I thought the lyrics to this song made no sense, but I think I finally get it. Jesus is telling you to give up your sinful life, put all your trust in Him and don't look back, AND you can STRUT all the way to the pearly gates while blasting this track!!!!
Whooaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!
Despite being Atheist, I still enjoy this song and a few other Christian songs as well. I listen to Christian music simply because (most of the time) the songs can be interpreted in other ways that don't involve god and biblical meanings. This song from my view is about "keeping your eyes open" even through the bad times so that you don't miss out on "seeing" the beautiful things in life.
Yeah I don't see this song as only applying to faith. I say the "great unknown" is just the future you don't know of, and the fact that it is unknown is beautiful, yet scary. You just gotta keep pushing and face the things ahead of you.
Christian bands for the most part try to inspire in anyway. They do it to attract atheists so they will listen, not for more listeners but so some people that might not even think of Christianity until it's put in vocal form
I'm glad you are open minded! HE is touching your heart somehow ;)
+Ben Baker thats not entirely true. Yes, Christian bands put songs out to inspire others and help them through tough times, but mostly to give glory to God. NEEDTOBREATHE always say they try to keep away from 'religious' standpoints because they want everyone to listen to their music and feel something. If you are not a Christian that shouldn't stop you from listening to their music because it is good music. If you are, then great!
Yeah NEEDTOBREATHE does what few other Christian bands do, and that's broaden a message based on their faith. They don't limit themselves to worship music, and though I am Christian and do listen to Christian music A LOT, I really appreciate them beccause a. Bear's voice is so unique and amazing and b. they have a way of connecting to multiple types of people
THIS IS MY FAVORITE BAND OF ALL TIMES. MY 54 YEAR TIME LINE TRULY A BLESSING FORM FROM OUR FATHER.
This song was iconic to me as a 10-year-old hearing it on repeat when it first came out. I thought it was okay then, but now
I have no choice but to STAN IT. This is a masterpiece that deserves many more views and likes! XD
Love it, God Bless You!
2:40 is where it hits me.
While for many people, either Jesus or Long Island Medium brought them to this video, I was brought here because I've loved this band for years, and I needed to catch up on their new music. Doesn't matter how you find this video, it's just plain awesome that you found it in the first place, because it deserves the attention. :)
12 YEARS LATER AND THIS SONG IS STILL A BOP
I just love love love this group!!! I share it all the time...lyrics are so RIGHT on ...his voice is one of the best and its all about Gods gift/talent..hands down my FAV christian band!!!
4 all mankind/we are one, we are infinite.wat u put out you will receivein return.The power of the spoken word..may each living thing have eternal life.
I woke up to this song in my heart this morning
I love that their songs can be interpreted a number of different ways. They write lyrics are meaningful and emotional and allow for everyone to find their own meaning as they are impacted by the song. That is one of the reasons they are such great songwriters.
Mankind brought me here !!
so true mc foley !!!!
Me too!

This song gives me goosebumps! I feel like this is what God is saying when we want to just hide from our problems. We can do ANYTHING with Him Who is our Strength. 💚
🎵Don't let the night become the day
Don't take the darkness to the grave,
I know pain is just a place
The wheel's been broken.
Too many start out great singers,with sincere,heart felt music,and then just spiral down into bad language and content.They just start to lose their appeal. Need To Breathe appears to have gained it from the 30+ songs I've checked out. And their first songs already had amazing appeal.
Thank You Need To Breathe. You are blessed,and it is a blessing to hear your music.
I cant wait till they get discovered and become like skillet (As in views) because they deserve wayyyy more views than this they're amazing I cant wait to see them in concert one day :P
I really hope they can get on the Winter Jam tour eventually. I'd love to see them live. On a side note, I saw Skillet live last Thursday on the Winter Jam tour and they were really great. They have amazing energy live and they sound good too.
Btw there really awesome in consent I saw them in Clemson and they were grate hope you get to see the one day 😎✌️☀️

Grace Solomon Would love to see them at Red Rocks! Are you going? If so, you are fortunate!!
SuperSloth Gaming yes they R.O.C.K. WOW!
GOD BLESS NEEDTOBREATHE. This band has changed my life. God Bless you all
If you could soldier on
Headstrong into the storm
I’ll be here waiting on the other side
Don’t look back
The road is long
The first days of the war are gone
Take back your former throne and turn the tide
Cause if you never leave home, never let go
You’ll never make it to the great unknown till you
Keep your eyes open, my love
So tell me you’re strong, tell me you see
I need to hear it, can you promise me to
Keep your eyes open, my love
Just past the circumstance
The first light, a second chance
No child could ever dance the way you do, oh
Tear down the prison walls
Don’t start the curtain call
Your chains will never fall until you do
Cause if you never leave home, never let go
You’ll never make it to the great unknown till you
Keep your eyes open, my love
So show me your fire, show me your heart
You know I’ll never let you fall apart if you
Keep your eyes open, my love
Open up
Open up
Open up your eyes
The weight is unbroken
Open up
Open up
Open up your eyes
Keep your eyes open
Don’t let the night become the day
Don’t take the darkness to the grave
I know pain is just a place
The will has been broken
Don’t let the fear become the hate
Don’t take the sadness to the grave
I know the fight is on the way
When the sides have been chosen
Cause if you never leave home, never let go
You’ll never make it to the great unknown
Open up your eyes
Keep your eyes open
So tell me you’re strong, tell me you see
I need to hear it, can you promise me to
Keep your eyes open, my love
So show me your fire, show me your heart
You know I’ll never let you fall apart if you
Keep your eyes open, my love
Keep your eyes (Keep your eyes open)
Amazing
I am thinking of you often with so much love, so so much love. & even after all these years of this hell, because please don't forget that you are YOU, not the affliction, beautiful soul.... I hope you never feel alone because you are constantly in my mind, heart, and prayers. I will give you everything to persevere for, I will fight for you until you are ready to fight for yourself. I miss you dearly. Keep your eyes open, my Love
I "left home" and find myself in "the great unknown." What a great song! Who cares how many views it has. It ministers! I believe that is the band's purpose, to minister to those who seek The Messiah.
Need to Breathe, thank you. I praise Adonai and His Messiah for you.
I love this song and i feel like it is saying that just like the disciples how they left what they where doing to go follow Jesus that we to are to leave "home" what we are familiar with and follow after Him. the whole if you never leave home never let go you'll never make it to the great unknown is what I'm talking about, you'll never make it to the great unknown if you don't let go of the world and its possessions.
Glad the show was able to highlight this band. Been in love with the sound since I heard Washed by the Water the first time. Such a soulful voice.
Love NEEDTOBREATHE ❤

Me too
This band is truely blessed, if there is any doubt to some people that God/Yahweh/Alah/Krishna doesn't exist, there is your proof, a perfect storm of talent coming together to show people a better path trought music. We are all unique and amazing, we all have souls (although there are some evil people who do not), the very proof of this is our ability to create beautiful things, such as this band creating it's music.
Keep your eyes open indeed...
