Creed got a lot of flack mostly because of the christian undertones to many of their songs. They were one of the best selling bands in the 2000's. They sold 28 million records in the U.S. and 53 million worldwide so yeah they had some hits.
I maybe wrong, but the way I took this video. I think it was the old blind dude reflecting on this life's memories while traveling to his end journey. Then he finds himself and moves on to his final journey. Awesome reaction guys!
Can’t fully quote how he said it, but basically he said that it’s about reconnecting with who you were before going into a dark place such as depression or substance abuse/addiction. His sacrifice? Giving up his vices that make him feel “free” “careless” and that he can “believe”. Remember when I heard this, you apply this to the song and you’ll see what I’m trying to explain.
I believed this song was about addiction or depression from the video where he’s ignoring the woman in water basically pushing people away and the world around him is under water since it either of those can feel like your drowning and the second verse is about getting back to yourself “it feels so good to reunite within yourself and your mind”
It seemed like creed was everywhere for awhile. Tbey recently teunited and ha e a cruise ship where they will have a full concert out on the water for a week in 2024
The song is about the innocense of youth and reconnecting with purity it brings. The old guy at the end was him reconnecting with the wonderment and joy of what will be in the future. The boy going blind was the embodyment of him losing his innocense due to life experiences and the cynisism and lack of wonderment to come. Such a great song
My Sacrifice, One Last Breath, Higher & With Arms Wide Open are the reason Creed get hate. They were HUGE hit records that were constantly played, the videos were also pretty cheesy. All 4 are very good songs nonetheless but where Creed shine are their other songs that most casual listeners won’t know. Torn, My Own Prison, What If, Are You Ready, Faceless Man, Wash Away Those Years, Pity For A Dime, Bullets, Hide. Seriously people need to give this band a chance.
Reading the lyrics always helps to understand the song. ❤ Carson Daly hosts The Voice. Lots of great performance material to mine from that show too! ❤
Great song! I recommend their song "Time" and also "Away with silence". For me the best album is Full Circle. Hoping for other Creed reactions! Greetings from Portugal! :D
Creed was an absolute force of nature. Its funny how everyone says they knew Creed was a Christian band, but they played over regular air radio. No one really knew, and later on everyone realized it. Its like the movie 6th Sense, Everyone says they knewm but they didnt.
The 2 biggest bands in the world in the late 90's early 2000's we're Creed & Nickelback . You guys need to check out Creed's songs Higher , One Last Breath , What If , My Own Prison , What's This Life For , Don't Stop Dancing , Overcome , On My Sleeve , Rain & their biggest hit With Arms Wide Open . Their song With Arms Wide Open , Scott Stapp found out that his girlfriend was pregnant so he wrote the lyrics for the song & didn't know how he wanted to write the music part of the song & the lead gutairest Mark Trumonti had the music part wrote for a song & didn't have any lyrics to put with what he had . So one day Scott was talking to Mark & found out that Mark had the music written , so they put the two together & it became their biggest hit .
Bro the movie show exactelly what the lyric says... it's show us his memories, his sacrifices, his river of tears, your looking for himself, you know what I mean? Every pain and smiles too, like they playng baseball .... the storms on the way of life... My sacrifice, your sacrifice, our sacrifice.... there, representing by the old guy and the child, they are the same person.(Memories, Sacrifices). I'm sorry about my english, I'm from Brasil e falo português minha língua materna(and speak portuguese my native language)..... Thank you for reacting to them.
Please check out Alter Bridge Blackbird Live! The Band was formed after Scott Stapp left Creed. Alter Bridge has all of the original members of Creed the only exception is lead Singer Myles Kennedy! Myles vocals are phenomenal and the guitar Solos are kick ass! I love your Reactions!! You will be BLOWN AWAY! I agree Fuk Creed 😂
The song is about recovery from addiction! Notice the symbolic use of water and all the beautiful things that are begotten from being in the water, no matter your condition.
They were great. I seen them once after they got big and they were great live. Oh, and they aint no Backstreet Boy look no where near as good as Scott from Creed. Check out "What it", its harder and "Arms Wide Open" is softer but its GREAT. THANKS!!!❤❤❤❤
No its not. You can find quotes from the band that unambiguously state it's about finding your old self after going clean. "This song - and I think you can see it in the video - is essentially talking about coming out of the throes of a dark period in your life, whether that be a dark depression or a period of substance abuse or alcoholism, and then reconnecting with yourself."
I don't know how you got that from this song, if you actually listened to the lyrics. Lol The only possible way you could've gotten that interpretation is perhaps relying only on the visuals. "It feels so good to reunite within yourself and within your mind" is the big key line that it's about yourself/himself. Also the visual of him pulling himself out of the water. Say, when you're on drugs, you lose yourself. And you can't be reunited with yourself unless you get off of that stuff. You're free.
There’s a lot of religious imagery in this video, with the man who kisses the fish (4 fish & 3 loaves of bread), the water, rescuing yourself & reconnecting with faith, etc. The lead singer, Scott Stapp’s father was a minister & their music did have a religious lean to it. But it is sad that he slid into the whole drugs and sex scene just as the band was reaching up there. I hope he’s clean and still performing
I had no idea what an abusive childhood he had with ultra fundamentalist parents. Non stop beatings. Explains the drugs and alcohol. He’s going so much better now.

Great song, another stupid music video that has nothing to do with the song. Most of their songs have nice lyrics, but these music videos distract people from hearing them. I personally think you're better off listening to the music first and ingesting the songs before videos. Just my opinion.

Nothing wrong with that
Being Christian is not like ebola, despite what demtard "progressives" want to think
Creed is powerful! Recommend going back to the beginning with My Own Prison.
Nice, I like all songs theirs but my favorite is Higher.

Music means whatever you want it to be just enjoy it.
He played last night at Hogs For Hospice in Leamington, Ontario, Canada. Absolutely amazing, still has it ❤
Creed is back together and touring. They sound amazing! ❤
Saw em last week with daughtry and finger eleven. I cried singing my little heart out!!
I love Creed. Love Scott Stapp. You have to listen to the lyrics to get the song. Didn't understand the boy band reference 🤷♀
Exactly!
Tremonti is one of the best guitarist out there
I believed this song was about addiction or depression from the video where he’s ignoring the woman in water basically pushing people away and the world around him is under water since it either of those can feel like your drowning and the second verse is about getting back to yourself “it feels so good to reunite within yourself and your mind”

These boys tripping Creed was legit I'm from the inner city and we had love for creed Scott is a beast

The boy going blind was the embodyment of him losing his innocense due to life experiences and the cynisism and lack of wonderment to come. Such a great song
Favorite Creed song. And I like it even more after finding out this song is about his relationship with GOD!
❤
My favorite is “One Last Breath”. Very emotional and explained the demons I endured & am surviving
My Sacrifice, One Last Breath, Higher & With Arms Wide Open are the reason Creed get hate. They were HUGE hit records that were constantly played, the videos were also pretty cheesy.

I don't see how people can be turned off 🤷♀️ because they don't look like you think they should look?? Weird
I'm still a big fan of creed, fuck the haters.

Most underrated band ever
Another great band from the sunshine state!

Favorite Creed song is "What If" its a lot harder but great message!!!
Next Creed song you should check out is One. Not one of their bigger hits. But very timely.
Awesome reaction.
I'd love to see you gentlemen do a reaction to Everlast's" What It's Like" !
Great Reaction As Always
The song is about recovery from addiction! Notice the symbolic use of water and all the beautiful things that are begotten from being in the water, no matter your condition.
You guys should do "My own prison" or "Higher"! Great tunes
With arms wide open is a good tune of theirs too 😊
Nice video man I like creed they got some deep songs
They were great. I seen them once after they got big and they were great live. Oh, and they aint no Backstreet Boy look no where near as good as Scott from Creed. Check out "What it", its harder and "Arms Wide Open" is softer but its GREAT. THANKS!!!❤❤❤❤
This song is about getting old and decisions we make!
It's a song about a man becoming old and all of the sacrifices he made for his son.
No its not. You can find quotes from the band that unambiguously state it's about finding your old self after going clean. "This song - and I think you can see it in the video - is essentially talking about coming out of the throes of a dark period in your life, whether that be a dark depression or a period of substance abuse or alcoholism, and then reconnecting with yourself."

He’s releasing all the worldly values to retrieve his authentic self.
I don't know how you got that from this song, if you actually listened to the lyrics. Lol
The only possible way you could've gotten that interpretation is perhaps relying only on the visuals.
"It feels so good to reunite within yourself and within your mind" is the big key line that it's about yourself/himself. Also the visual of him pulling himself out of the water.

He's doing better now check some of his latest interviews
I had no idea what an abusive childhood he had with ultra fundamentalist parents. Non stop beatings. Explains the drugs and alcohol. He’s going so much better now.
I really like you guys
Creed got a lot of hate due to overexposure and the lead singer's antics. But their music holds up
My own prison and higher are awesome songs
WWF Desire 2001🔥🔥
Have you guys reacted to creed the song is called one they also have one called one last breath
Scott Stapp is the lead vocalist and the main lyric writer.
The sacrifice to the higher power
Video killed the radio star
A bit Christian for me but I love the sound!
Try "Torn" or "One Last Breath". This one's good, but not their best.
Pearl Jam, song Evolution
Dude with the green cap is a clown 🤡
You all need to listen to Pete and Bas “Gangster Sh**”, they’re from England, and they are the actual rappers…too funny.

Creed and Nickelback were both victims of their success, over play of their music killed them.
WWE packages back in the day
You three clearly don't understand... the video goes hand and hand a story of the song. Most of not all from Creed did
Very and to MUCH Christian songs. !!!
Love the song. Hate the vid.
These dudes critizicing the video when 90% of today's music videos aren't even half as good as this one lol
Great song, another stupid music video that has nothing to do with the song. Most of their songs have nice lyrics, but these music videos distract people from hearing them. I personally think you're better off listening to the music first and ingesting the songs before videos. Just my opinion.
I think all the creed knockoffs and cover bands killed creed
