He truly was an amazing guy. After my mother passed in 05 I found this band and their music. They always played shows in my hometown. I went to a show that following year and broke down in the crowd. Kyle stopped the show pulled me to the side and talked to me like a real human. And ever since then when they came to town we always got together and talked about life.
We Came As Romans really need to be more recognized. They are so powerful and lyrics are so deep, that it can relate to many lives today. And actually save people. Hell I know it did for me, considering battling depression for over 4 years. (:
I listened to this album a lot during my mums passing. I'd never seen this video before. I came back to it for the first time since. Just finished watching the guy hugging his mum at the end. I'm crying dude. Rip Kyle thank you so much for this relic :)
"Tonight when I look into the sky, I know this is why I am alive" I miss you more than you'll ever know Dad. These 6 months without you have been hell.
We Came As Romans have saved my life, and they continue to inspire me in the most positive way. Regardless of what anyone says, if it weren't for them I probably wouldn't be here today. Thank you for being my heroes.
I found this description of these videos that was apparently shared by WCAR (when they first came out i guess). I always felt like these three songs told a progressive story and I felt they were cleverly arranged in the album to show that progression. "The three videos we shot portray a person lost, confused and struggling to find purpose in life. He sees himself at his darkest in the first video, trying endlessly to find his way out. After going through a traumatic experience, he finds his way out and his eyes begin to open to a new journey of finding out what really makes him feel alive. Through this journey the man traces back to his childhood house, where it all began. Overwhelming feelings wash over him as he remembers the feeling he once had long ago. Now, with a sense of purpose, he embarks back into the world to take the path he should have taken long ago"
They label themselves as definitely not a Christian band but some of the members do have a strong faith in God and it comes through in a lot of their lyrics.
I'm so torn up over his death his voice has literally saved my life on multiple occasions. You were such an inspiration kyle God bless you and your family I'll never forget how much you helped me
I used to play an online game called S4 League. I watched all kind of S4 League Montages on TH-cam in 2011-2012. Somebody used this song in one of those videos and it’s been in my music Library ever since. I decided today to look up this song on TH-cam because I really wanted to see the face to the voice I've been listening to for the last ten years. Turns out that he passed away and I'm heartbroken.. Long live
All the lights, Were too bright to see the spark That I've been missing for too long. Something I've been missing for too long. My empty cup, Could never fill another. I have spilled all I've had, To make things better. But the love of all others, Has made me new. My empty cup, Could never (because of you) fill another. (I am made new) I have spilled all I've had, (Because of you) to make things better. (I am made new) We've all been broken So let us make each other new. So let us make each other new. I've died inside every time I tried To lie to myself about feeling alive, alive. To lie to myself about feeling alive, alive. (I've died) All the lights, Were too bright to see the spark That I've been missing for too long. Something I've been missing for too long. All these distractions, Kept me from seeing what I needed all along, An understanding. I am speechless tonight As I stare into the sky. I feel endless compassion, forgiveness, and love, I feel everyone who is looking up sharing this, I feel unexplainably alive. I need to understand what we've grown to be. Tonight, when I look into the sky I know this is why I am alive. Tonight, when I look into the sky I know this is why I am alive. So sing with me if you feel this feeling. So sing with me if you feel this feeling. I'm alive.
Kyle and Chester Benington...The two GREATEST voicalists of our age...gone TOO soon!! They saved my life many times, and I WILL tell them when I see them again. HELL ISNT REAL!!
If it isabout love, hope, faith, then it is about God, if it is about God it is about Jesus, you like it or not, take it or leave it, its your choice, bur do not come against me for having faith in Him, I'm not coming against you for not having...
I've never noticed the "This Is Your Second Chance" at the end of the video before. This song already induces many thoughts, but that line just hit me really hard. They're my favorite band for a reason. They create music that means something. This is real.
Whoever dislikes this must be either a Bieber Fan or is Deaf because all I hear is orgasmic music being played!!! Keep it up WCAR, you never dissapoint!
trust me dude, i was the same way, been 3 years now. and im doing ok, never thought i would, keep your chin up and realize that you need to stop being sad and be awesome instead.
316 th view! The love of God can TRULY make you new! I agree with all of this song, except the love from all others can not completely make you a new person again, but with God all things are possible! : )
what's really funny is how some of you guys think they're singing about them understanding what they've grown to be as a person. NO! They're singing about understanding what they've grown to be in God.
WCAR was one of the first bands I got to see live in 2012 at South By So What!? and that whole ending section had me so emotional, and I remember singing along with Kyle and the crowd like it was yesterday. I'm grateful.
Me and my ex broke up the day before our 2 year anniversary and i felt the same way as you, its been barely over 2 months now and im doing fine, you'll be fine man
If you don't get this video, don't claim to understand what this band's grown to be either. P.S., I love this video. It totally speaks to me, considering I've been there.
Damn, this band helps with my depression a lot. And so does A Day To a Remember! Sometimes I get so low to where I wonder if I should be here but, those lyrics "TONIGHT WHEN I LOOK INTO THE SKY I KNOW THIS IS WHY I AM ALIVE!" Help me out a lot. Fuck metal elitists who say "bands don't save lives" yeah they do! And I'm sure bands like Amon Amarth/Nightwish have saved lives as well.
I'm not a Metal Elitist BUT the band's don't save lives. You saved yourself! They weren't there to stop you from pulling the trigger, cutting yourself, drinking/ swallowing pills, bleach etc.. It's all you and will always be you, they're words help you through tough times, but they didn't personally didn't save you. Don't let anyone ever take that from you. Again, I'm not an Elitist but you have yourself to thank, they just helped talk you through it! Have a good Night.
I love this band. Though to settle the argument, they said "just because we sing about positive things we are not a Christian Metalcore band, though we do have Christians and non Christians. It is up to everyone to determine the meaning and that's the amazing part". That's not an exact quote but you can look it up on here.
I love how these guys actually have a positive message, unlike other bands that right about stupid things like partying and drinking. (cough* cough* asking alexandria cough* cough*)
I was a mechanic for many years. We had a mega stereo we built mostly from old technics stuff. Still slammed and we used to crank this song. Miss those days!
ok I really do not care what your job is or how long it is guaranteed for, that does not relate at all, by get out of the house I meant do something other than hate over the internet. If you can not sing as good as him that just means you have even less of a right to hate on his singing. He has done something with his life and deserves respect for that.
This band really never took off the way it deserved too. This band literally told me to chill with them when I was taking pictures for warped. Alot of bands are assholes even though their managers pay me to take their pictures lol
Kyle singing “I’m alive” at the end makes my heart wrench. Can’t believe he’s gone.
It has not gotten easier 😔
Since yesterday I was thinking about him :( we miss him so much.
"my future started with the first note that I ever sang".... That always hits me in to plant a seed
Rest in peace Kyle, this song changed my life and I will never forget it 💔
@Zack the Great Drummer Kyle was the clean vocalist.
@@albertocruzramirez6478 damn... so sad didnt knew, he was so good
Me too, man. Me too...
Kyle played keyboards and synthesisers and did all the clean vocals on the first 2 albums and the majority on the last 3.
I became a fan after his death. I can see how good he was tho. His vocal ability is more shown in the last 3 albums.
R.I.P. Kyle Pavone... "Tonight, when I look into the sky, I know this is why I am alive."
Always will be my fav album by them, I just hope Kyle understood what he grew to be
He truly was an amazing guy. After my mother passed in 05 I found this band and their music. They always played shows in my hometown. I went to a show that following year and broke down in the crowd. Kyle stopped the show pulled me to the side and talked to me like a real human. And ever since then when they came to town we always got together and talked about life.
wtf! man, i never knew there was a video, this song has soo many good vibes such a positive song
David Fore damn I really fucking wish I got the chance to meet him Rest In Peace Kyle
OMG NO! His smile his voice kept me alive every single day :'(
We Came As Romans really need to be more recognized.
They are so powerful and lyrics are so deep, that it can relate to many lives today.
And actually save people.
Hell I know it did for me, considering battling depression for over 4 years. (:
agree with you their lyrics are great really like to plant a seed.
I was okay with everything you said up until you said it can save people. I hate when people say that.
Ninety-Two lol reading back on my comment, i realize its a basic fandom thing. Sorry bro XD
Jao Jao thats cool man
Ninety-Two
We'll miss you, Kyle. RIP brother.
I listened to this album a lot during my mums passing. I'd never seen this video before. I came back to it for the first time since. Just finished watching the guy hugging his mum at the end. I'm crying dude. Rip Kyle thank you so much for this relic :)

I love them too. I hope you continue to be the definition of greatness 🖤
I totally understand you. They have inspired me to keep on going and never give up.
This is why I am Alive. 2024 🎉
it's been a decade. this song is still in my 'good metalcore' folder
Rest In Peace Kyle :( we will miss you
My empty cup could never fill another....

This song is deep br0s .I have tears ._. Anyone else ?
This band is amazing, i can say i probably would've given up if it weren't for their music.
JoshRenteria same

RIP Kyle, this song always meant so much to me 😭❤️
Tonight, when I look into the sky
I know this is why I am alive.
I cannot listen to this song without being a sobbing mess by the end. I miss Kyle.

"Tonight, when I look into the sky. I know, this is why I am alive."
All the lights,
Were too bright to see the spark
That I've been missing for too long.
Something I've been missing for too long.
My empty cup,
Could never fill another.
I have spilled all I've had,
To make things better.
But the love of all others,
Has made me new.
My empty cup,
Could never (because of you) fill another.
(I am made new) I have spilled all I've had,
(Because of you) to make things better. (I am made new)
We've all been broken
So let us make each other new.
So let us make each other new.
I've died inside every time I tried
To lie to myself about feeling alive, alive.
To lie to myself about feeling alive, alive.
(I've died)
All the lights,
Were too bright to see the spark
That I've been missing for too long.
Something I've been missing for too long.
All these distractions,
Kept me from seeing what I needed all along,
An understanding.
I am speechless tonight
As I stare into the sky.
I feel endless compassion, forgiveness, and love,
I feel everyone who is looking up sharing this,
I feel unexplainably alive.
I need to understand what we've grown to be.
Tonight, when I look into the sky
I know this is why I am alive.
Tonight, when I look into the sky
I know this is why I am alive.
So sing with me if you feel this feeling.
So sing with me if you feel this feeling.
I'm alive.
anyone notice how the videos for Understanding What We've Grown To Be, Mis//Understanding, and Just Keep Breathing are all connected?
awesome isn't it?
what order are they in, if they have a chronological order?
Andrew Deleruyelle Mis//Understanding, Just Keep Breathing, and Understanding What We've Grown To Be
James Meiers that's the point lol:)
I like how at the end it says "this is your second chance"
Kyle and Chester Benington...The two GREATEST voicalists of our age...gone TOO soon!! They saved my life many times, and I WILL tell them when I see them again. HELL ISNT REAL!!
This song saved my life in 2011 RIP Kyle ❤️
This band has one of the cleanest vocals for singing and screaming. So audible! I love it!
Man, this song's so good it gave me goosebumps
If it isabout love, hope, faith, then it is about God, if it is about God it is about Jesus, you like it or not, take it or leave it, its your choice, bur do not come against me for having faith in Him, I'm not coming against you for not having...
Easily one of the best bands in existence
this song makes me cry almost every time I listen to it
That happens to me too.
have you tried therapy?
Some songs gets people emotional from what they have been through. Get with it bunny dude
yeah.
I've never noticed the "This Is Your Second Chance" at the end of the video before. This song already induces many thoughts, but that line just hit me really hard. They're my favorite band for a reason. They create music that means something. This is real.
Erin Cajigas try Breakdown Of Sanity, they made some powerfull lyrics
😊love ll😊l ol 🎉🎉🎉
Whoever dislikes this must be either a Bieber Fan or is Deaf because all I hear is orgasmic music being played!!! Keep it up WCAR, you never dissapoint!
I don't know how he can scream like that for a long time its crazy
NightSkyUniverse15 Practice
trust me dude, i was the same way, been 3 years now. and im doing ok, never thought i would, keep your chin up and realize that you need to stop being sad and be awesome instead.
Anybody else see the "This Is Your Second Chance" at the end of the video?? WCAR Never fails me, keeps me going.
316 th view!
The love of God can TRULY make you new!
I agree with all of this song, except the love from all others can not completely make you a new person again, but with God all things are possible! : )
RIP Kyle. We still miss you. :'(
Words can't describe how impactful Kyle's lyrics were...Rest in peace Kyle Pavone. You are a legend now, "Your home is in our hearts."
what's really funny is how some of you guys think they're singing about them understanding what they've grown to be as a person. NO! They're singing about understanding what they've grown to be in God.
WCAR was one of the first bands I got to see live in 2012 at South By So What!? and that whole ending section had me so emotional, and I remember singing along with Kyle and the crowd like it was yesterday.
I'm grateful.
I personally hope they never change him, his voice is amazing, whether it is slightly altered or not, it sounds good. + He's pretty hot :P
APRIL 28, 2012 is going to be awesome!!! can't wait to see these guys to perform in MANILA, PHILIPPINES!!! :D
RIP Kyle :(
Fire and Ice Tour is going to be Unbelievable !!!
We miss you Kyle.
their lyrics are amazing. i always use them when people think that all i listen to i "i slit my wrist ...."
Me and my ex broke up the day before our 2 year anniversary and i felt the same way as you, its been barely over 2 months now and im doing fine, you'll be fine man
Love This Song!Plus Today I Got A WristBand That Say "We Came As Romans" And "Understanding What We've Grown To Be" X D
If you don't get this video, don't claim to understand what this band's grown to be either.
P.S., I love this video. It totally speaks to me, considering I've been there.
Damn, this band helps with my depression a lot. And so does A Day To a Remember! Sometimes I get so low to where I wonder if I should be here but, those lyrics "TONIGHT WHEN I LOOK INTO THE SKY I KNOW THIS IS WHY I AM ALIVE!" Help me out a lot. Fuck metal elitists who say "bands don't save lives" yeah they do! And I'm sure bands like Amon Amarth/Nightwish have saved lives as well.

Again, I'm not an Elitist but you have yourself to thank, they just helped talk you through it! Have a good Night.
I like WCAR doing videos like this. Music videos now don't tell any stories, and their last few have done just that. Nice job WCAR
Understanding What We've Grown To Be..
So ....
WE GROW LIKE ROMANS !
David is proof that some gingers have souls
I love this band. Though to settle the argument, they said "just because we sing about positive things we are not a Christian Metalcore band, though we do have Christians and non Christians. It is up to everyone to determine the meaning and that's the amazing part". That's not an exact quote but you can look it up on here.
It shouldn't matter what someone in a band looks like. Just listen to the music! Everyone quit complaining about his haircut!
Anyone here in 2024?
Yep
Had the pleasure of seeing them play this live when the album came out. It was intense
Yes ❤
omg no adverts, is this heaven
Almost brought me to tears tonight. I have no idea why.
Not all heroes wear capes.
the guy that said you had a nice taste in music and an awesome background on your channel.
The best cleaning voice ever.!!
I went straight to give my mom a hug after watching this.
and one of the best screamers around.
This sounds kinda awesome with the rain outside…
I really like the videos from this album. I like videos that intertwine and have a story....
Rest in peace Kyle. Heaven gained an amazing angel today.
Kyle Pavone: Whimsical and Majestic.
yep, i love music that's positive and meaningful.
Miss Kyle r.i.p homie
Best Song Ever... WCAR are the best
I love how these guys actually have a positive message, unlike other bands that right about stupid things like partying and drinking. (cough* cough* asking alexandria cough* cough*)
the clean vocals are one of my favorites of any band! love it :)
To give my mum a hug . This is why i am alive Ahhahaha. .. HeartUforevz Kyle
L❤ve&Light Y'all
*This is why I am alive ...*
We’ve all been broken
I was a mechanic for many years. We had a mega stereo we built mostly from old technics stuff. Still slammed and we used to crank this song. Miss those days!
The ending kills live!!!!
Rest in peace, Kyle. I'll never forget how we met in Leipzig.
I need to understand why you leave us Kyle? , rest in peace, we love u forever ❤️🕊️
The feels man. Right in the feels.
Rip Kyle
One of the best songs.
def was my fav song on the album.
I saw them live yesterday...he actually sounded not to bad!
Seeing them for the first time on Wen.
Super stoked
I cry at the end every single time.
I discovered these guys way to late😣 rip Kyle
ok I really do not care what your job is or how long it is guaranteed for, that does not relate at all, by get out of the house I meant do something other than hate over the internet. If you can not sing as good as him that just means you have even less of a right to hate on his singing. He has done something with his life and deserves respect for that.
Because they have a message of hope, love, compassion, relationships, and brotherhood. It's saved a lot of people from giving up on their life.
If you're not listening to WCAR, wtf are you even doing with your life? This is the real shit.
GONNA SEE THIS BAND TOMORROW
He is amazing, sure he has some off days but so does every singer and screamer
RIP Kyle. Gone way too young.
This band really never took off the way it deserved too. This band literally told me to chill with them when I was taking pictures for warped. Alot of bands are assholes even though their managers pay me to take their pictures lol
The song that got me into the band. Rest in peace.
RIP KYLE :(
RIP my heart is broken
