I'm an atheist, and I mean no disrespect, but there was always a connective quality to Relient K that allows them to connect to people of any audience. I read somewhere of a quote, that the key to making good Christian music, was making music that doesn't innately seem to disregard other peoples. I will always love Relient K.
I know this is a 2 year old comment but I feel exactly the same way. I found Relient K as a teen listening to an online radio called idobi radio and just instantly fell in love with them. I've always been an atheist, although I have to admit that as a teen I was way more open-minded about religions than I am now. Coming out as LGBTQ+ made me even more critical about the Christian pop punk bands I used to like growing up, but Relient K always stuck with me even now after 20 years and I can't think of anything negative about their lyrics.
I am 19 years old and I heard this song from a GameCube game. To this day in 2014 I still know word for word verbatim. This song got me through middle school, high school and now college. Thank you Relient K
I love how they sing such positive Christian songs, but they're not at all boring. I think they do a lot of good for young Christians especially. They are awesome!
Reminds me of a good friend from high school. Dunno where she is now, more than 15 years later, but I hope she's listening to this song reflecting on the great times we had together. Our friendship got us through a lot. I miss you Amanda!!! May you be well 💕
I remember hearing this song/seeing this video many many years ago (no later than mid 2005) and not thinking about it again....until my friend put this album on in her car in 2011. That was a fun surprise. It was so weird to hear it again after so long, but I'm glad to have rediscovered it.
I'll never forget the first time heard this song 10 years ago... I was 16 and at church camp. Since then, I've been to 3 Relient K concerts. I don't go anymore cus I feel too old. :D
hahaha this was the song that made Relient K my favorite band when I heard it a few years ago haha and even though they've changed members and style a lot they still rock to me and remain my favorite band of all time. I'm looking forward to their new stuff and Matt T.'s solo album!
Wow I'll never forget when my brother showed me this song 9 or 10 years ago. Makes me miss my childhood. Now he's out of college and has a job and I'm about to go to college. Oh, how time flies...........
I think we're going somewhere. We're on to something good here. Out of mind, out of state. Trying to keep my head on straight. I think we're going somewhere. We're on to something good here.

We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where we're going. To go back to where I was would just be wrong. I'm pressing on. Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone.

Don't worry friend, there's nothing wrong with that. I found your scripture references useful and creatively relative. So you were in the right. God should be given glory in any way and this was extremely appropriate. God Bless
I was flipping channels one day back in 2000 something and caught this video on christian "MTV" of sorts, I was a huge Blink 182 fan, come to find out they were on tour with Blink at the time. Whoever caught that concert, I envy you. Always makes me want to skate.
So last year my English teacher told us to do this mini project about what song represent what our mindset/goals are for 2020. I chose this song. And I’m still pressing on 9 months later :))))
I heard this when I was ten while playing a game and I'd sing the chorus because it was the only bit I remembered. Finding the name of a song has never been so sweet
Relient K, if you see this, keep up the good work. Your music keeps me going. My life's been pretty tough lately, some times I think of suicide, and i'm always beating myself up. You guys mean so much to me. I mean, I got the whole God thing before I heard you guys, but it just has been making more sense then all the other crap. You guys are amazing!!! I don't care what some people say about the God stuff. Stay the way you are. Keep God in everything!! I love you!!!
There is not a single song that does not somehow relate to another song by another band in some way. There are only so many ways one can generate a tune in a certain key.
back in 2002 me and my friend went to lifest in oshkosh wisconsin, after relient k's concert we got in line for their autograph we were the last 2 to get in andget their autograph matt thiessen and dave douglas were the nicest members in the band , matt t, matt h, brian and dave, i miss the good old days :(

I was technically a Christian as a kid but I had no idea what that meant.
Relient K Still rocks in 2024. I love this band.
And as an adult I find myself pressing on and heading back toward god, so I'll thank whoever is responsible for that!
Are you still an atheist?
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me

The late 1990s and early 2000s were truly great times
You can say that again. No Facebook or tiktok
I miss it. A lot.
Wasn’t even alive yet and it makes me have nostalgia
Hell yeah it was
Fuck yes! Throw in some nofx, dash with penny wise and get on a skateboard, you can barely ride. There it is kids.
Still pressing on in 2024
😂 at 29 now that's an understatement 🤘 Thank God for music
@@katrinakirby5877 35, pressing on, pressing on
The good ol days.
Relient K made my pre-teenhood.
guitargeekette same
Amen
Great Song 🎸
right
And I'll make your adult life ❤
I am 19 years old and I heard this song from a GameCube game. To this day in 2014 I still know word for word verbatim. This song got me through middle school, high school and now college. Thank you Relient K
do you remember the GameCube game that it is on?
Big Air
Big Air Freestyle! Loved that game myself.
It was in an episode of Power Rangers ninja storm
You still listen to it?
Gosh, I'm glad this is still on the internet.
7 years later and I totally agree.
Always come running back to these old songs from middle school.
matt thiessen looks so young! Love them and their new album.
I love how they sing such positive Christian songs, but they're not at all boring. I think they do a lot of good for young Christians especially. They are awesome!
Still listening in 2019 ❤ we're definitely on to something good here 💪
For the longest time, I only heard this song on a toy guitar. Years later, I still think about it, which is why I'm here now. It's still great
Same here
Relient K is still going strong, even though their style has changed significantly. They will always be my favorite band of all time!
Why can't music like this come out today? And why can't it get popular again?
This needs to be brought back in 2024
Really wish music like this would come back in 2024
Heard this song on Myspace back in 2005 or so.. I've been a fan ever since!
This was my favorite song when I was in high school. Still very awesome after all these years! PRESS ON! :D
Aahhh! I need the pop/punk glory days to make a come back
Reminds me of a good friend from high school. Dunno where she is now, more than 15 years later, but I hope she's listening to this song reflecting on the great times we had together. Our friendship got us through a lot. I miss you Amanda!!! May you be well 💕
Relient K, playing memorable and motivational music, no matter the year.
Long live Relient K!
reminds me of my childhood
same
I love Relient K! This song ROCKS!!!!
haha the security guys facial expressions. this will be my favorite music video for the rest of my life
I miss the good old days
I love and miss the early 2000s
11 years later and I find myself back here 🤔 this was the golden age
I liked this song then my sister told me it was a Jesus song.... now i love it so much more. Jesus is great
This song got me through a really tough time in my life. After all these years...I keep coming back to it, but as a reminder of how far I've come. ❤
It's crazy how they have changed their sound over the years and still sound good doing it
"Can i have some water?"
"no sorry its not in budget"
lol
I remember hearing this song/seeing this video many many years ago (no later than mid 2005) and not thinking about it again....until my friend put this album on in her car in 2011. That was a fun surprise. It was so weird to hear it again after so long, but I'm glad to have rediscovered it.
This band formed in 1998, the year I was born and yet they are still around today... That shows how amazing they are.
God is crying up in heaven that this is what he has to listen to in all his omniscient glory as he surveys humanity instead of hard rock.
Heard this song on What's New Scooby doo! Great song!
that's why im here, was just watching with my daughter
That's how I found it!
still an absolute banger in 2022
Life was so simple when these were the records I was playing
Thanks Paper Jamz for introducing me to this song.
What's New Scooby Doo brought me here.:)
Same 😁
Same!
Dem fanny packs. #2legit2quit
"Can i get some water maybe?"
"No thats not in the budget."
hahahahahhahahahahah :D
How could I forget about my favorite band growing up! Definitely binge listening this morning.
True Pop Punk!!
It's fun to watch the awkward people dancing in the background. Especially pay attention to the guy in the Iverson jersey.
Only good thing that I loved about my highschool is that Matt and I graduated from the same highschool
É o marcelão
hahahahahaha
Nice referência kkkkk
This never gets old. Never.
" Can I get some water?"
" Its not in the budget"
hahahahahaha
God I miss Brian and Dave, but Ethan, John and Jon have really helped fill the band out and branch out in ways I could have never imagined.
this song is still to this day my favriote song! Its made me the man I am today.
Still listening in 2023!! Reliant K was my favorite band!
I remember back in 2002 going to a local music store to listen to this video while on high school.
Pressing on in 2020 y'all
ye
Still listening in 2016 :) Pop Punk at its finest !!:)
GIVE MATT HIS WATER! WHO CARES ABOUT THE BUDGET?!?!
HONESTLY LIKE WATER THEY TALKING ABOUT!!
@@bigdogkato the one that plays guitar. obviously.
I'll never forget the first time heard this song 10 years ago... I was 16 and at church camp. Since then, I've been to 3 Relient K concerts. I don't go anymore cus I feel too old. :D
Just saw them tonight at when we were young in Vegas. Awesome 👏🏼
look out for the gold monster
2020 Pressin On!!! His cellphone with the antenna!! 😂
Surprised little to no one comments about the song's appearance in What's New Scooby-Doo's episode 'Gold Paw'
Im 14 again watching this for the 1st time on a bus heading to Christian Summer Camp
this was very first pop punk song I heard in the early 2000's. be hooked melodic punk every since.
hahaha this was the song that made Relient K my favorite band when I heard it a few years ago haha and even though they've changed members and style a lot they still rock to me and remain my favorite band of all time. I'm looking forward to their new stuff and Matt T.'s solo album!
It still sounds good to hear the song again and again. It's almost 10 yrs back since i heard this song... Nice tune 👌👌👌👌👌
Anyone here during the lockdown?
Wow I'll never forget when my brother showed me this song 9 or 10 years ago. Makes me miss my childhood. Now he's out of college and has a job and I'm about to go to college. Oh, how time flies...........
Yo, your boys called the fanny pack before every one else. Love this band.
The fact that they're wearing fanny packs makes the video that much better.
Pure jam that has to played again and again!
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
There's only one thing left to do.
Drop all I have and go with you.
Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind.
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where we're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.

100% underrated!!!!!

2020 baby
First Christian song I never heard... Still probably my favorite in 2021
I am Relient on Relient K.
I was flipping channels one day back in 2000 something and caught this video on christian "MTV" of sorts, I was a huge Blink 182 fan, come to find out they were on tour with Blink at the time. Whoever caught that concert, I envy you. Always makes me want to skate.
I haven't listened to these guys in forever. And yet, I can still sing all the words in time. :)
How did i forget about these guys?!?
I love this song. It makes a good day that much better and upbeat
5 years later and still awesome :D
First time I've ever heard this from these guys and I Love it! Awesome song and video!
throwback Thursday
i love how he's wearing a tooth and nail shirt. yes.
So last year my English teacher told us to do this mini project about what song represent what our mindset/goals are for 2020. I chose this song. And I’m still pressing on 9 months later :))))
Hahaha this is so awesome.. I miss those days when pop punk such a big deal hahaha
Love this song. Had to come watch it. The cell phones back then. LOL, how had I forgot about those.
My dad showed my this song and I loved it
I love how the last line is from the Mary Tyler Moore Show theme song.
so true. I love them. But I grew up with these old songs so I like them better.
I heard this when I was ten while playing a game and I'd sing the chorus because it was the only bit I remembered. Finding the name of a song has never been so sweet
Lovin the fanny pack
Dude I remember when me and my brother were obsessed with this band like 6 years ago...
2018??
This was on Scooby Doo! Just saying. Was watching one episode with my brother, and then this plays. Woohoo!

Still as good in 2015. ;P

This is one of my favorite songs!!! :)
