I listened to it 15 times in a row this morning, and it totally helped me get back into a positive state of mind to finish the year, despite a difficult and tiring year.
It’s criminal that this song only has 1.7 million views and Gangnam style has 8 billion or something. Not hating on Korean pop…but I just had my 17 month old son listen to this song for the first time and you could see the feeling it was evoking in him…powerful music
@stephen wagner i listened to creed growing up. I love Creed for the music they made but Scott has nothing on Myles. Alter bridge will forever be my favorite band.
Creed is one of those bands, with time it makes sense as you get older. being almost 30, having a wife, two daughters, and a stressful long hour job. it's crazy i loved this as a kid and now it actually makes sense.
hello timothy, you story is just like mine. I am also in my 30's used to listen this song when i was young but now that i have wife also two daughters and stressful life this song is my daily anthem now
as a 20 year old, it's good to listen to guiding music rather than what is mainstream and constantly forced on us. we can change our future for the better.
I never understood why Creed got some much hate back in the days. I know *they're perceived as* a Christian rock band but the lyrics are actually good and the music is bang on! 25 Years later and it's still dope
My older brother passed away in December and showed me this song as a kid. I will forever listen to "higher, one, arms wide open, my sacrifice" because of him. I need to see you guys live. 😪

Hehe you guys are cool af. Age is just a number that society puts on people. Yes we physically age but we are all still young at heart. Good music is timeless
They were never underrated. They had their peak in the late 1990s to early 2000s (I remember hearing this song for the first time in the summer of 2000 before I turned 8), then the mainstream masses moved on. I still like them to this day.
They were underappreciated. Huge band when I was a kid.all the brain dead plebs dislike them without knowing. Them and Nickelback are both solid. I'd prefer them over this new homosexual music
That is exactly what I got out of this song. I will turn 83 next week and this is the first I've heard Creed....I'm impressed. Hoping and looking forward to going up to the real "Higher" soon to be with Jesus the ultimate High Priest and Savior.
The lyric is so powerful. It starts with a devastated person who is ready to give up, but the second verse brings us to a person that needs to be more resilient and not give up
Just watched Brandon Lake perform this bc his band pranked him at the ending of the final last concert of his tour, so ofcourse I had to search it and listen... good old times man 🙌🙌🙌❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I know it sounds weird to say this, but Creed was the best concert I've ever been to! I saw them live with my mom (RIP) back during the 2012 Human Clay tour, I'm telling you, these guys had that crowd more hyped than any other bands I've seen at that venue. Creed sounded exactly like the album, Scott's vocals were freaking perfect, everyone was killing it. I will cherish that memory forever because my mom was with me, she passed away in January of 2018 and she was my best friend. Her name was Kim and she was 56yo when she passed away, she was a beautiful soul and she made me who I am. RIP Mom, I love you and I miss you very much. 🙏❤
@@bethanyleigh9691 thank you, she was. We had a special relationship where we took care of each other, both of us have/had health problems that required us to be a caregiver for each other at times. Thank you for your kind words 🙏❤
@@ninibren thank you, we were very close and we took care of each other. I lost her in January of 2018 and that was the worst year of my life (I was 25yo at the time), I'm doing much better now and I'm in the best place I've ever been in life. I miss her very much, I have several pictures of her in my apartment and I will hold her picture and talk to her from time to time. Thanks again for your kind words 🙏
It's a damn damn shame they never made more than the two albums. Found them many years ago and they are still in my top bands. I'm 67 and a great granny. Creed is still past, present, and future, long after I'm gone ❤❤❤❤❤
I was an ops manager in Cali for TMO when we launched in Cali. Our launch party was on Alcatraz Island with them and Wall Flowers. A few months later I was gone to Afghanistan to lead and fight. It was a great concert to see!
Scott had some serious demons of his own, I'm glad he got through it after nearly 2 decades of struggle. Everyone deserves redemption if their willing to work for it.
@@electrictroy2010 they aren’t really a Christian rock band. I think the lyrics just makes them sound like that and even the singer insisted they aren’t one
@@electrictroy2010 not really Christian….think just “ghosts” of his Southern Baptist dad’s disapproval….only made Scott the deeply tortured spiritual singer he is
Creed doesn't deserve the hate they always got. Their musical talent was evident, and Stapp's lyrics hit home just about all the time. There's a peace inside you, let it be your friend.
As far as Creed getting “hate..” these guys sold over 50 million albums worldwide..made some of the best music of the late 90s/early 00s..and did all this while staying true to their faith and not selling out. I really don’t think they care how much “hate” they got.
My grandfather was in his 60s when Creed came out and he liked them. He passed in 2007, I was 11 going on 12. I love listening to Creed because it gives me a sense of bonding with my grandfather 💚
LYRICS: When dreaming I'm guided to another world Time and time again At sunrise I fight to stay asleep 'Cause I don't wanna leave the comfort of this place 'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape From the life I live when I'm awake So let's go there Let's make our escape Come on, let's go there Let's ask can we stay? Can you take me higher? To a place where blind men see Can you take me higher? To a place with golden streets Although I would like our world to change It helps me to appreciate Those nights and those dreams But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same The only difference is To let love replace all our hate So let's go there Let's make our escape Come on, let's go there Let's ask can we stay? Can you take me higher? To a place where blind men see Can you take me higher? To a place with golden streets So let's go there Yeah, let's go there Come on, let's go there Let's ask can we stay? Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams And make them mine Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams And make them mine Can you take me higher? To a place where blind men see Can you take me higher? To a place with golden streets Can you take me higher? To a place where blind men see! Can you take me higher? To a place with golden streets!
"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by ME." Jn 14 Jesus will take you highest, to the place with golden streets where blind men see. 🙏
A lot of negativity and unecessary hate towards this band for absolutely no reason. People aren't happy unless there tearing something down. Creed was and always will be amazing. Been a fan since day 1 and now it's all about Alter bridge for me. I saw them 2 times in concert and they were phenomenal live!! Haters are always gonna hate unfortunately. we should be spreading positivity, love and peace instead of looking for the bad in everything.
Ok I agree people love to tear others down and that sucks buttttt there is a middle ground it is very fun and hilarious to make fun of something that is stupid or cringe and I think that is absolutely ok we all do it

Had a serious head injury back in 2016, Listening to creed really helped me deal with the excruciating pain, it was often so unbearable I seriously contemplated suicide this song really helped me push through. so much respect for the lead singer and him pushing through tragedy pain addiction and mental health, we alll need inspiration to keep moving
The words you convey are powerful to me as his music was for you. My brother killed himself in 1988 at 28 yrs old, his was a different kind of pain but difficult none the less. I am glad to know that you allowed something such as music to help you recover from your injury. It sounds like you truly went thru hell and back. Music really has healing powers that are difficult to explain but you feel it when it happens. It's almost spiritual. Thank you for sharing and bless you. Stay safe, and always listen to music when down. 😊
My mother took me to see Creed for my 1st ever concert. Man was it amazing back in the 90's-early 2000's. Shes now at peace and no longer with us. God rest her soul. Almost 2020 and I'll be blasting their albums to the day I'm in my grave. Thank you Momma! I love you!
I look at Scott Stapp and admire his willingness and courage to not give up in life. He had it all, lost it all, and came back stronger than ever. I love Creed since 2001!
Idk why they are hated in the US, but in the Philippines Creed is the wholesome heavy music we all listen to. We celebrate the music. Such memories with their songs. Glad they’re back.
Out of the millions of times I’ve heard this song. Today is the first time I have ever shed a tear while doing so. The words are so meaningful and powerful
I had the same moment tonight. But I was sobbing. I’m not religious and I have the devil tattooed on my chest. I’ve invited sacrilege into my life for as long as I can remember. Tonight I just felt something different.

Summer of 2000: I was 8 years old when I first heard this song in the trailers to "Titan A.E." Never did watch the movie, but the song stuck with me all these years. And now, it's been given new life with my Texas Rangers sweeping the Rays in the 2023 Wild Card and Orioles in the 2023 ALDS to move on to the Championship Series! Can you take me Higher, Rangers?! Thank you, Creed and baseball! LET'S GO!!!!
This song came on the radio while I was driving to my first day of high school- teaching it, that it. I remember the exact spot on the road when it began, and I just cranked it up and sang along. Teaching was my life's calling. This song became my Anthem, only a few months after Columbine rocked our community. My husband & I saw Creed in concert after he came back from Iraq in 2003. It was therapeutic for us both that night!
Dear Scott Stapp, i want to publicly apologize for getting caught up in the "creed scrutiny" that took place in the 90's and 2000's. i too was a closet listener but too young to appreciate the lyrics and the work you guys put in. Now I'm in my 40's and literally rediscovering the music of Creed. I can totally relate to your story.... my father also left my sister and I when we was young, among other personal life scaring assaults. i Truly believe had i were aware that creed music and lyrics was FIRE and our past were so closely related, i may have found the inspiration i needed earlier. stay strong, stay in prayer, and keep doing what your doing brother. BIG LOVE. Frankie
Scott recently did an interview with Theo Von that was amazing! He talked about his demons and his upbringing that caused a lot of them, and so much more. Highly recommend. And he knows he was a dick back in those days, super sorry for it now and realizes his mistakes. If you've got 2 hours it's well worth the time. I listened to it while painting my kitchen. There's some pretty funny parts in it too. Just search for Theo Von Scott Stapp on here and you'll find it. Enjoy!
No it's because of there Christian lyrics, same as with Evanescence. Same exact thing except Evanescence came out as being Christian but Creed never did. A lot of Creeds lyrics are Christian and wonderful. I'm a 37 year old black woman in America and I have always loved both Creed and Evanescence because of there darkness and transparency. I am a Christian who recognized the lyrics of both these band's right away. I've always loved for this and I always will.
As a yankees fan and a creed fan, seeing the rangers eliminate the astros with former yankees Montgomery, Chapman, Eovaldi, and Heaney while having this as their rally music, is a beautiful thing to witness.
I am 13 years old in 2024 and I’m sad that people my age don’t listen to this kind of music anymore. I may be young but I still know what real music is.
Yes we do baby! I'm 31 as of Halloween, and I'm listening to it while I'm getting my 12 and 8 year old boys up and outta bed for their day to start! Keep it real bubba! 💪❤
@@sirchadiusmaximusiiiright? Creed was so mainstream back in the day it was a meme and people laughed if you said you liked creed 😂 same for puddle of mud and nickleback
23 years ago I heard this song while in a drug rehab center and his lyrics blew me away. Something about Creed and my sobriety meshed together at the right time.

i was 15-16 yrs old when i first heard this song .Im from india and the exposure to rock and metal music was almost 0 .there was a show called MTV select where for 1 hour they used to show rock and metal songs if someone requested them .i used to sit and watch everyday hoping someone would request it and then i had a old mono walkman in which i used to record the song out of my TV speakers .Back then we understood the value of Music .Thank you Creed for Your music !!
I really hope Creed realize how far reaching their music was. I was 15 years old when I heard this song in 2000. Suva, Fiji Islands. I never knew of this type of music and this was my first rock song. We did not have much technology back then so when my mates and I hear a song we tell each other in school the name and sing some lines from it. Then those who hadn't heard the song kept an ear out. I wasn't the first to hear it and I remember going to school and my close friends were so excited "bro! you HAVE to hear this song Can you take me higher!" We got blank TDK tape cassettes and waited patiently by the radio until Higher played and we would quickly press record. I loved this song from the very first second.That tape would make so many rounds in school played repeatedly on Walkman. Of course rock was a very unfamiliar genre in Fiji so it quickly turned out that my close friends and I were a minority loving this new band and genre of music. It made this song and band more special to us. Music videos were a rarity too then so naturally we did not see the music video for Higher for several months. When we did see it on an MTV recorded vcd we were just sat there frozen and I remember being so emotional and extremely happy as we finally put faces to the vocals, guitars and drums. Seen it hundreds of times since. Discovering Higher gave way to other rock bands: Splender, BonJovi, Staind, Lifehouse, The Calling, Vertical Horizon, Foo Fighters, Fuel, Matchbox 20, Limp Bizkit, Incubus, RHCP, Third Eye Blind, 3 Doors Down, and so many more. (1 of my friend's Dad worked in the USofA and he would send us NOW rock cd compilations). I was on the bus home when the news came on radio that Creed had broken up. Cried all the way home. Called my friends and they had heard too. We grieved for weeks playing Human Clay, My Own Prison and Weathered on repeat. So funny looking back now.10 years on from this song I had managed to move to the UK and the fates were kind, went to an AlterBridge concert 2010. Mark Tremonti was always our favorite band member & we loved that he brought the remaining members to form Alterbridge & continue to give us fans Creed-ish music. I stayed out in the Southampton winter cold waiting outside Guildhall for about 2 hours after the concert for them to board the tour bus. Only about 10 of us fans were left when they finally came out. They were the nicest people in the world.Their appreciation was so genuine. The same thing that happened to me when I first saw this music video happened when I met Mark Tremonti. I had so much to say, but alas, I choked and as we shook hands I could only manage to blurt out "it is an honour to meet you sir". He replied "thank you so much man, that means alot". There were 9 of us who were that "Creed boys" group back in school and 2 of us were blessed enough to have left Fiji and met Alterbridge and Creed since. Over the years I have always had this song on me, from tape to cd to usb to smart phone. Thank you so much Creed for being the sound track to our school years and a constant go to even to this day. Higher remains my favorite song ever
WOW! I'm watching this in 2023 and it feels like I am back at your concert in 1999 with so much adrenaline and excitement. Thank you for being a huge part of my musical life. I wanted to go on the cruise but I have so much going on with my family that I couldn't make it. Mark, thanks for the chats and Scott, thanks for all of your support. Y'all are amazing people!
I am 70 years old and I just discovered Higher by accident today. I lost my oldest granddaughter in December 2023. She was just 32 years old and left a precious daughter behind There are no words to express the grief I feel since her passing. It’s as though I were guided to hear this song today to help ease my sadness and understand the why, maybe. Thank you, Creed. Higher is now in my favorites playlist. I pray that I am lucky enough to make it to that special place where the streets are gold and blind men see. I believe I will see and get to hold my sweet, dear, granddaughter, once again. 😢❤️🩹🌈🙏🏼 I, too, will, have Higher played at the celebration of my passing 🙏🏼
So very sorry for your loss! 🙏🏻. I am 64 and I loved Creed and have seen them a few times in concert. I will always be a rocker at heart! You have great taste!
You guys are part of the soundtrack of my life. I literally can remember something and some of your songs pop up with the memories. Much love to all of you, thank you for meaning so much.
When i was in my early teens, i listened to Creed daily. During those years, the most difficult and unimaginable things were happening in my life. Between Creed, P.O.D, Seether, Nirvana and Tupac.... i really wouldnt know how i could have gotten out of such dark places. Been over a decade since i would play that music because i associated with alot of struggle. Im older, wiser and now realizing if it wasnt for this Music, i might have not found the ability to hold onto hope and dignity. Music is universal.
@@pauloseibert Scott was a major alcoholic and had issues at the time of their breakup and shortly before that. He’s straightened out now and has a become a very good man!
Saw Scott 2 summers ago in a small venue-played with his band all creed hits. Sounded and looked fantastic. Hopefully after things get back to somewhat normal Creed will tour again
This song came out around the same time I witnessed birth for the first time. A child of someone who was close to me at time. It changed me. I cried my eyes out. Life is sacred, and God is great.
@@Michael-sz7lp true but they got soooo much shit back in the day. Nowadays I see the people who were hating on them saying things like "you know....Creed wasn't actually that bad." Scott was and still is a very talented guy.
Creed may not be the most liked band, but this song still gives me chills, My Sacrifice and One Last Breath are some of my all-time favorite songs and inspiring.
because the music is very repetitive and sounded like every other contemporary band from this period. however, i can see how the depressed would gravitate towards this music as the lyrics are very well written
After a "few" years, people again come to realize that this band just simply rocks - great guitar/vocal riff/melodies & soaring choruses. How can one not like that?!
I’m pretty sure Scott started doing Christian music which is great; I’m not knocking it. I am a Christian but the music is not my jam; just not something I would turn on and listen to, to chill out.
Me and a really good Frind or should I say a Brother took our wives to see Creed really great show he ended up Killing himself and I miss him horrible I never have been able to understand but the music keeps him alive and the time we had together
They don't know how to throw a parade.. Was there, from New Orleans..they didn't have a high school band even though they closed school for the day... Sad experience for the fans.. Next time if they win again.. CALL NEW Orleans
@@marcsaravia8241 If you also watch the goons this is hilarious, and we've both probably just looked up this song because of the jokes about his voice lol.
I first heard this when Smackdown went to support the troops in 2004. This song brings back amazing nostalgic feelings from my youth! Thank you, Creed!
I hope every single band member realizes how much better the route they took is with putting out good music like this versus the BS out today, this is golden. Take a moment to thank yourselves for the greatness you created.
The reason this band gets so much hate is because they can put out the energy of love and be as bad ass Rock n Roll as any band ever! They are superb and their front man Scott Stapp is outstanding!
One of my classmates played this live in my high school gym for our graduation in 2000. I will never forget it. This song has a major significance in my life because of it.
The reason why this music never gets old is because of the honest lyrics and the clean and clear message. Beautiful messages and so easy to understand what is being said. Super clean sound. Guess that is why no one listens to Limp Bizket anymore it was music just for a certain time period. These songs are timeless by Creed.
I listened to it 15 times in a row this morning, and it totally helped me get back into a positive state of mind to finish the year, despite a difficult and tiring year.

Right on Gerri!😊💖
A terribly underrated band. They got that perfect sound and know how to convey emotion through the music they create.
Underrated?; 😂😂 they were awful.
They were never underrated. They had their peak in the late 1990s to early 2000s (I remember hearing this song for the first time in the summer of 2000 before I turned 8), then the mainstream masses moved on. I still like them to this day.
@@DEthe5150 Considering that several members of Creed would go on to form Alter Bridge
They were underappreciated. Huge band when I was a kid.all the brain dead plebs dislike them without knowing. Them and Nickelback are both solid. I'd prefer them over this new homosexual music
@@raceloxyou aren't white then. Thanks for the admission. Tremonti is one of the best guitarists I've seen.
Creed will always be relevant because of their lyrics about our creator and His son...Jesus Christ.
Surely they deserve better credit than just praising the religiousity of it? It's not just that that makes their music enjoyable to you I'd hope?
That is exactly what I got out of this song. I will turn 83 next week and this is the first I've heard Creed....I'm impressed. Hoping and looking forward to going up to the real "Higher" soon to be with Jesus the ultimate High Priest and Savior.
Fun fact the lead singer Scott Stapp said his band wasn't intended to be a Christian band . Everything happens for a reason praise God
The lyric is so powerful. It starts with a devastated person who is ready to give up, but the second verse brings us to a person that needs to be more resilient and not give up

Time to show off that Creed tramp stamp to Knuckles.
Just watched Brandon Lake perform this bc his band pranked him at the ending of the final last concert of his tour, so ofcourse I had to search it and listen... good old times man 🙌🙌🙌❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Same here 😊
Same lol
Me too😂
Same lol

I know it sounds weird to say this, but Creed was the best concert I've ever been to! I saw them live with my mom (RIP) back during the 2012 Human Clay tour, I'm telling you, these guys had that crowd more hyped than any other bands I've seen at that venue.
Creed sounded exactly like the album, Scott's vocals were freaking perfect, everyone was killing it.
I will cherish that memory forever because my mom was with me, she passed away in January of 2018 and she was my best friend.
Her name was Kim and she was 56yo when she passed away, she was a beautiful soul and she made me who I am. RIP Mom, I love you and I miss you very much. 🙏❤
Sorry for your loss , she sounds wonderful 💕💕.
@@bethanyleigh9691 thank you, she was. We had a special relationship where we took care of each other, both of us have/had health problems that required us to be a caregiver for each other at times. Thank you for your kind words 🙏❤
What a beautiful tribute to your mom. Very sweet. ❤
@@ninibren thank you, we were very close and we took care of each other.
I lost her in January of 2018 and that was the worst year of my life (I was 25yo at the time), I'm doing much better now and I'm in the best place I've ever been in life.
I miss her very much, I have several pictures of her in my apartment and I will hold her picture and talk to her from time to time. Thanks again for your kind words 🙏
One if my very good friends saw Creed with me on that tour and she was killed later. Broke my heart. I still miss you Tinkerbell Sharon.
That opening riff is one of the most recognizable riffs to ever be created. The minute it starts you know exactly whats coming.
A lot of their songs are like that
Tremonti writes great riffs... Always has.
I mean. Not really my guy. Lol
Ever?
Except that I thought it was Fall Out Boy's "Sugar We're Going Down". Had to play that song and it was very similar and confused me.
Creed saved my life.... I was 18 and heard this song, I heard the message and I'm still here 20 years later, music is powerful.
❤️
u old
Luke Gallagher yes it Is
@@hilm6132 yo momma is old
Leonardo Ruvalcaba same
1999, we are young and free. Now I'm 51 years old with 4 grown-up boys!....this song indeed helped me to get back on track
It's a damn damn shame they never made more than the two albums. Found them many years ago and they are still in my top bands. I'm 67 and a great granny. Creed is still past, present, and future, long after I'm gone ❤❤❤❤❤
I was an ops manager in Cali for TMO when we launched in Cali. Our launch party was on Alcatraz Island with them and Wall Flowers. A few months later I was gone to Afghanistan to lead and fight. It was a great concert to see!
Scott had some serious demons of his own, I'm glad he got through it after nearly 2 decades of struggle. Everyone deserves redemption if their willing to work for it.
WHY ARE THERE NEAR-NAKED GIRLS in a Christian band video? I don't understand how that is biblical. Looks more like a party from Sodom & Gamorrah
@@electrictroy2010 they aren’t really a Christian rock band. I think the lyrics just makes them sound like that and even the singer insisted they aren’t one
@@electrictroy2010 "WHY ARE THERE NEAR-NAKED GIRLS"
Does that bother you?
@@electrictroy2010 not really Christian….think just “ghosts” of his Southern Baptist dad’s disapproval….only made Scott the deeply tortured spiritual singer he is
@@mounts655 He's a Christian. And just like everyone else, they struggle with the choice between good and evil.
Creed doesn't deserve the hate they always got. Their musical talent was evident, and Stapp's lyrics hit home just about all the time. There's a peace inside you, let it be your friend.
I don’t understand the hate. They are almost borderline heavy metal. I guess it has to be the Christian inspired lyrics. That’s all I can figure
hes actually a Flippin, look it up
Yeah what was up with that hate? They only wanted to know what we all wanted to know. What's this life for? None of us have any answers.
they deserved it .... this song is ok though .. now imagine hearing 100 times in a row ... every day .....for like 3 years
@@tonecapone8392 so they deserved the hate simply for been popular ?
Come up with a more logical reason for why they deserved the hate.
As far as Creed getting “hate..” these guys sold over 50 million albums worldwide..made some of the best music of the late 90s/early 00s..and did all this while staying true to their faith and not selling out. I really don’t think they care how much “hate” they got.
Great.band.thay.save.my.life
Win.down.no.were.to.go.
I especially love the guitar notes in this song!!!
Fantastic music...
I love creed but a lot of the hate came from scott being a complete drunk on stage.
They had a couple ok songs. Nothing more nothing less
Here in Nov 2024. Perfect song
Came here after Brandon Lakes band pranked him with this song 😅
My grandfather was in his 60s when Creed came out and he liked them. He passed in 2007, I was 11 going on 12. I love listening to Creed because it gives me a sense of bonding with my grandfather 💚
Your grandfather was one cool dude. :)
@@Cyba_IT Yes he was 😀 Apart from God and Jesus, he was the best man I’ve ever known 💚
Wow that's so cool!!
Lies again? Harvard University Aim Higher
Awesome memory. I always think of my son in High School. I introduced him to Eddie Money and he introduced me to Creed! Love good music 🎶❤
LYRICS:
When dreaming I'm guided to another world
Time and time again
At sunrise I fight to stay asleep
'Cause I don't wanna leave the comfort of this place
'Cause there's a hunger, a longing to escape
From the life I live when I'm awake
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To a place with golden streets
Although I would like our world to change
It helps me to appreciate
Those nights and those dreams
But, my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
If I could make the Earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
To let love replace all our hate
So let's go there
Let's make our escape
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To a place with golden streets
So let's go there
Yeah, let's go there
Come on, let's go there
Let's ask can we stay?
Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Set up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams
And make them mine
Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me higher?
To a place with golden streets
Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind men see!
Can you take me higher?
To a place with golden streets!
Creeds lyrics are an epic display of connection to a higher power!
Etuu tou
"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by ME."

A lot of negativity and unecessary hate towards this band for absolutely no reason. People aren't happy unless there tearing something down. Creed was and always will be amazing. Been a fan since day 1 and now it's all about Alter bridge for me. I saw them 2 times in concert and they were phenomenal live!! Haters are always gonna hate unfortunately. we should be spreading positivity, love and peace instead of looking for the bad in everything.
f u c k e n ..... A
Ok I agree people love to tear others down and that sucks buttttt there is a middle ground it is very fun and hilarious to make fun of something that is stupid or cringe and I think that is absolutely ok we all do it
@@jedspoor956 Both youth and elderly, a reach which i did and named it: BIBLE + FREEMASONRY.
Get to know who they are - where they are - how and why they deceive - how they communicate, then expose them.
There is NO EVOLUTION, every living creature got created by GOD after its own kind.
No mattering what and how many schools/university you attend to, feather you`d be in or out of schools system, you are still living with the lack of knowledge if not daring to read the BIBLE nor search and expose masons.
Dare to ask - dare to seek - dare to knock:
Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Wait, are there people who hate CREED?
What would be the reason??
They were amazing. One of my fav groups of the late 90s!!
Had a serious head injury back in 2016, Listening to creed really helped me deal with the excruciating pain, it was often so unbearable I seriously contemplated suicide this song really helped me push through.
so much respect for the lead singer and him pushing through tragedy pain addiction and mental health, we alll need inspiration to keep moving

Glad you're here and glad I'm here to read it. Love you my brother

powerful song for a powerful person. respect.
The words you convey are powerful to me as his music was for you. My brother killed himself in 1988 at 28 yrs old, his was a different kind of pain but difficult none the less. I am glad to know that you allowed something such as music to help you recover from your injury. It sounds like you truly went thru hell and back.
Music really has healing powers that are difficult to explain but you feel it when it happens. It's almost spiritual. Thank you for sharing and bless you.
Stay safe, and always listen to music when down. 😊
My mother took me to see Creed for my 1st ever concert. Man was it amazing back in the 90's-early 2000's. Shes now at peace and no longer with us. God rest her soul. Almost 2020 and I'll be blasting their albums to the day I'm in my grave. Thank you Momma! I love you!

Jealous...
God bless her brother ❤✌ she sounds like a cool mom 😎
Awesome about your mom and creed first concert ok and sorry about your mom loss ok
Sorry about your mom lol
I look at Scott Stapp and admire his willingness and courage to not give up in life. He had it all, lost it all, and came back stronger than ever. I love Creed since 2001!
Idk why they are hated in the US, but in the Philippines Creed is the wholesome heavy music we all listen to. We celebrate the music. Such memories with their songs. Glad they’re back.
Creed was extremely popular in the USA and is still regarded as a good band by many.

This was my type of genre when I was a kid. 🤟 Now that I am a Christian, I am convinced to feed my mind with worship songs.
Scott Stapp wrote plenty of Christian themes into his music. You can still enjoy it.

Summer of 2000: I was 8 years old when I first heard this song in the trailers to "Titan A.E." Never did watch the movie, but the song stuck with me all these years.

This song came on the radio while I was driving to my first day of high school- teaching it, that it. I remember the exact spot on the road when it began, and I just cranked it up and sang along. Teaching was my life's calling. This song became my Anthem, only a few months after Columbine rocked our community.
My husband & I saw Creed in concert after he came back from Iraq in 2003. It was therapeutic for us both that night!
super dope
Columbine hit close to me too class of 85” Thank you for carrying on teaching!!!
Next week ill be watching them live in las Vegas Nevada at Caesars Palace 👑
Holy shit that’s sick. Put it all on black for me buddy.

You’re welcome

People used to say Creed's music was trash, but listening to it in 2022, it is GOLD!
People are jealous
I never understood that or nickleback they get such stick it's not fair they are both amazing, creed obviously being the better of the two 😉
Music is personal to us all, no? This is my childhood but could be trash to someone for sure. :)

Dear Scott Stapp, i want to publicly apologize for getting caught up in the "creed scrutiny" that took place in the 90's and 2000's. i too was a closet listener but too young to appreciate the lyrics and the work you guys put in. Now I'm in my 40's and literally rediscovering the music of Creed. I can totally relate to your story.... my father also left my sister and I when we was young, among other personal life scaring assaults. i Truly believe had i were aware that creed music and lyrics was FIRE and our past were so closely related, i may have found the inspiration i needed earlier. stay strong, stay in prayer, and keep doing what your doing brother. BIG LOVE. Frankie
BIG LOVE
It's aight bruh..
Scott recently did an interview with Theo Von that was amazing! He talked about his demons and his upbringing that caused a lot of them, and so much more. Highly recommend. And he knows he was a dick back in those days, super sorry for it now and realizes his mistakes. If you've got 2 hours it's well worth the time. I listened to it while painting my kitchen. There's some pretty funny parts in it too. Just search for Theo Von Scott Stapp on here and you'll find it. Enjoy!
That's one the reasons it's a blessing that most music lasts forever God bless
I'll never understand the hate Creed got. This is the type of music that can save someone's life.
It's because of Scott Stapp, he thought he was everything so everyone hated him
No it's because of there Christian lyrics, same as with Evanescence. Same exact thing except Evanescence came out as being Christian but Creed never did. A lot of Creeds lyrics are Christian and wonderful. I'm a 37 year old black woman in America and I have always loved both Creed and Evanescence because of there darkness and transparency. I am a Christian who recognized the lyrics of both these band's right away. I've always loved for this and I always will.

i was 15-16 yrs old when i first heard this song .Im from india and the exposure to rock and metal music was almost 0 .there was a show called MTV select where for 1 hour they used to show rock and metal songs if someone requested them .i used to sit and watch everyday hoping someone would request it and then i had a old mono walkman in which i used to record the song out of my TV speakers .Back then we understood the value of Music .Thank you Creed for Your music !!
Big Love from nagaland
I LOVE their music and today at 57 yo, I still LOVE their music. So much to it! Cheers!
It's like looking back at myself,doing the same thing with Linkin Park,with a phone.
Bless your comment.
I really hope Creed realize how far reaching their music was. I was 15 years old when I heard this song in 2000. Suva, Fiji Islands. I never knew of this type of music and this was my first rock song. We did not have much technology back then so when my mates and I hear a song we tell each other in school the name and sing some lines from it. Then those who hadn't heard the song kept an ear out. I wasn't the first to hear it and I remember going to school and my close friends were so excited "bro! you HAVE to hear this song Can you take me higher!" We got blank TDK tape cassettes and waited patiently by the radio until Higher played and we would quickly press record. I loved this song from the very first second.That tape would make so many rounds in school played repeatedly on Walkman. Of course rock was a very unfamiliar genre in Fiji so it quickly turned out that my close friends and I were a minority loving this new band and genre of music. It made this song and band more special to us. Music videos were a rarity too then so naturally we did not see the music video for Higher for several months. When we did see it on an MTV recorded vcd we were just sat there frozen and I remember being so emotional and extremely happy as we finally put faces to the vocals, guitars and drums. Seen it hundreds of times since. Discovering Higher gave way to other rock bands: Splender, BonJovi, Staind, Lifehouse, The Calling, Vertical Horizon, Foo Fighters, Fuel, Matchbox 20, Limp Bizkit, Incubus, RHCP, Third Eye Blind, 3 Doors Down, and so many more. (1 of my friend's Dad worked in the USofA and he would send us NOW rock cd compilations). I was on the bus home when the news came on radio that Creed had broken up. Cried all the way home. Called my friends and they had heard too. We grieved for weeks playing Human Clay, My Own Prison and Weathered on repeat. So funny looking back now.10 years on from this song I had managed to move to the UK and the fates were kind, went to an AlterBridge concert 2010. Mark Tremonti was always our favorite band member & we loved that he brought the remaining members to form Alterbridge & continue to give us fans Creed-ish music. I stayed out in the Southampton winter cold waiting outside Guildhall for about 2 hours after the concert for them to board the tour bus. Only about 10 of us fans were left when they finally came out. They were the nicest people in the world.Their appreciation was so genuine. The same thing that happened to me when I first saw this music video happened when I met Mark Tremonti. I had so much to say, but alas, I choked and as we shook hands I could only manage to blurt out "it is an honour to meet you sir". He replied "thank you so much man, that means alot". There were 9 of us who were that "Creed boys" group back in school and 2 of us were blessed enough to have left Fiji and met Alterbridge and Creed since. Over the years I have always had this song on me, from tape to cd to usb to smart phone. Thank you so much Creed for being the sound track to our school years and a constant go to even to this day. Higher remains my favorite song ever
you finally came full circle.
Pretty much the same story for me!

Well they are doing an entire tour so you can probably make a show
I am 70 years old and I just discovered Higher by accident today. I lost my oldest granddaughter in December 2023. She was just 32 years old and left a precious daughter behind There are no words to express the grief I feel since her passing. It’s as though I were guided to hear this song today to help ease my sadness and understand the why, maybe. Thank you, Creed. Higher is now in my favorites playlist. I pray that I am lucky enough to make it to that special place where the streets are gold and blind men see. I believe I will see and get to hold my sweet, dear, granddaughter, once again.
😢❤️🩹🌈🙏🏼
I, too, will, have Higher played at the celebration of my passing 🙏🏼
May her should rest in peace Janice. Yes this song of the creed band brings in great memories that are undefined.
RIP ❤
Thoughts & prayers Janice. So sad to hear... 🙏❤
Hugs
So very sorry for your loss! 🙏🏻. I am 64 and I loved Creed and have seen them a few times in concert. I will always be a rocker at heart! You have great taste!
Stapp is a very talented writer. No BS lyrics here, very meaningful words. Creed was a superb band.
"Let love replace all of our hate". We need to hear that more than ever especially right now 🙏💜
For real!!!
💯👏
Essa música é um tapa na cara de motivação, quando escuto essa música parece que os problemas pessoais do dia dia somem por momento
You guys are part of the soundtrack of my life. I literally can remember something and some of your songs pop up with the memories. Much love to all of you, thank you for meaning so much.
OMG his voice still gives me goosebumps ... 20 years later ... Love It 🎵😇
Hello how are you doing it’s nice meeting you here
This one's for you, Dad. May you RIP Nov 15th, 2024 🙏🏻✝️🕊❤️🇺🇸
Here because the Paramount Superbowl ad awakened a long dormant memory
When i was in my early teens, i listened to Creed daily. During those years, the most difficult and unimaginable things were happening in my life. Between Creed, P.O.D, Seether, Nirvana and Tupac.... i really wouldnt know how i could have gotten out of such dark places. Been over a decade since i would play that music because i associated with alot of struggle. Im older, wiser and now realizing if it wasnt for this Music, i might have not found the ability to hold onto hope and dignity. Music is universal.
Creed was far better than we deserved.
They would've been huge if Scott had gotten help.
what happened to Scott?
@@pauloseibert Scott was a major alcoholic and had issues at the time of their breakup and shortly before that. He’s straightened out now and has a become a very good man!
They WERE huge.
@@pauloseibert He had issues with the booze and also contemplated suicide at one point in his life. Thankfully he's in a much better space now.
Saw Scott 2 summers ago in a small venue-played with his band all creed hits. Sounded and looked fantastic. Hopefully after things get back to somewhat normal Creed will tour again
November 2024 anyone???
Me 🤣🤣🤣🖐
Yeah I watch a clip.of a racecar flying and it brought me here with my mates knowledge of the song id
December 🤍
Every month of every year
December
This song came out around the same time I witnessed birth for the first time. A child of someone who was close to me at time. It changed me. I cried my eyes out. Life is sacred, and God is great.
But they arent Christian band
Which god did you mean ?
I think history remembers Creed more fondly than the late 90s did.
I mean, they were still a powerhouse in the 90's.
@@Michael-sz7lp true but they got soooo much shit back in the day. Nowadays I see the people who were hating on them saying things like "you know....Creed wasn't actually that bad."
Scott was and still is a very talented guy.
Agreed. Music today SUCKS. So now this is solid gold
don't you dare try to take creed from us millennials! same with nickel back!
They were popular as shit. They just caught anti christian backlash, rightly or wrongly....
This song randomly was in my head today. I was a fan in highschool,but Creed definitely hits differently as an adult.
Can't wait to see them 🤘🤘
@@gavinculpepper9685 GR babyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was a teenager when Creed was big. These songs definitely hit different as a 33 year old
You have no idea how this comment hit
Creed may not be the most liked band, but this song still gives me chills, My Sacrifice and One Last Breath are some of my all-time favorite songs and inspiring.
Faceless Man, Dont Stop Dancing, and Who's Got My Back are some of my favorite Creed tracks
Faceless Man is epic
This song was a last fav til they stopped playing it interesting how things work anyway
Same! ❤
Why did people dislike Creed? This song alone is a masterpiece. Very great lyrics
morons disliked creed
@TD its silly Xrian lyrics, Scott went nuts and became a BORN again JEESUSS FREAK but the music itself is WOWW
I don't get it either! They were huge and it was well deserved back then.
Great songs and energy.
because the music is very repetitive and sounded like every other contemporary band from this period. however, i can see how the depressed would gravitate towards this music as the lyrics are very well written
I've no idea. I remember that talk in the early 2000's but I never understood what was wrong about them or their music.
After a "few" years, people again come to realize that this band just simply rocks - great guitar/vocal riff/melodies & soaring choruses. How can one not like that?!
Jesus when I was young I heard creed now I know what the words mean. Grateful for their music
I really hope the Rangers win it all so that they can blast this song all over the world and reintroduce everyone else to this greatness!
4 more games Let's go Rangers !!!!!
They did it
Yessssss Champs 🏆 at last!!!
Go rangers..creed is the shit and Texas Ranger baseball , fan since 92
I wish they would could rebuild this band. We need this. Uplifting style of music these days .always my go to to lift my spirits. Thanx Creed.❤❤❤
I’m pretty sure Scott started doing Christian music which is great; I’m not knocking it. I am a Christian but the music is not my jam; just not something I would turn on and listen to, to chill out.
This song reminds me of when I was happier... The days with great friends, my ps1 and the world just seemed so much more positive.
I think the same
I feel that
I can relate
Me and a really good Frind or should I say a Brother took our wives to see Creed really great show he ended up Killing himself and I miss him horrible I never have been able to understand but the music keeps him alive and the time we had together
I remember man
Creed should be at the parade. Hands down, free concert!
They don't know how to throw a parade.. Was there, from New Orleans..they didn't have a high school band even though they closed school for the day... Sad experience for the fans.. Next time if they win again.. CALL NEW Orleans
Arr they even a band anymore? Of they are, they're probably playing the Christian circuit. 😅
Scott Stapp left the band, and now they have a new lead singer and the band is now called Alter Bridge.
This sounds like alcoolism in you’re 40s
Creed still rocking and sending a positive message.
25 years and no one sounds like this to this day. Truly divine.
luckily. it's ridiculous
Scrabble hueggs
@@marcsaravia8241 If you also watch the goons this is hilarious, and we've both probably just looked up this song because of the jokes about his voice lol.
felix irwan, he covers some creed's song too. check it out
Creed is a parody of Pearl Jam
OCTOBER 2024 ANYONE????????
Got to see them a couple months ago. WAS AWESOME
I wish i could see them live. Its one of my gf top favorites bands she wants to see live. As well as 5 finger death punch
Always
You better believe it!
Yep@@cgdavies6794
I first heard this when Smackdown went to support the troops in 2004. This song brings back amazing nostalgic feelings from my youth! Thank you, Creed!
One of the most impactful and inspiring lyrics in a song I’ve ever heard!
I hope every single band member realizes how much better the route they took is with putting out good music like this versus the BS out today, this is golden. Take a moment to thank yourselves for the greatness you created.
So true, all the over produced bs of today. What we need is good musicians coming together and rock their brains out!! 🤟
People have said the same thing forever. Music will always be good
My mom loved this song 🎵 I was thinking about this so i decided to play it while I clean up. Rip mom💔 🙏🏾 🕊
🙏❤
WE THROWING THE CHILD WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣
Oh no not this again ain't you dizzy yet
If there was ever a band right now that I would love to see comeback and do it all over again, that would be Creed😉
I think they tried to do a comeback several years ago.
They don’t need a come back this song is eternal 😁
Change the lead singer and the name to Alter Bridge and the band never left.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I finally got to see them in concert in 2012 at The Tabernacle in Atlanta and it was freaking awesome.
The reason this band gets so much hate is because they can put out the energy of love and be as bad ass Rock n Roll as any band ever! They are superb and their front man Scott Stapp is outstanding!
One of my classmates played this live in my high school gym for our graduation in 2000. I will never forget it. This song has a major significance in my life because of it.
Year 2000 here too 👋
Cool 😎
This is my first exposure to Creed. They’re making good music.
Whenever I hear this song I getting full of energy, positivity and hope. Great song.
Marinos Kouloumpis it reminds me that the struggle is worth the future that is coming
@@randythedorf6043 you couldn't be more right my friend. That's a huge truth.
Are you sure it’s not testicular cancer?
@@brookswilson6314 lol
True
It strengthens my fragile faith
The real fact is. I searched for Creed. Because they are awesome 👍
That post World Series feeling 🎉🤘🏻👏🏻🙌🏻😎
The reason why this music never gets old is because of the honest lyrics and the clean and clear message. Beautiful messages and so easy to understand what is being said. Super clean sound. Guess that is why no one listens to Limp Bizket anymore it was music just for a certain time period. These songs are timeless by Creed.
Funnily enough, Creed and Limp Bizkit both hail from the same city (Jacksonville)
I blast Hot Dog and Rollin everyday what are you talking about bro? LB are the hottest they've been in 15 years
