  • The official lyric video for "Hell Together". orcd.co/helltogether
    I wrote this song based off what my mom told me a few days after I said I was stepping away from our church. She said she was going to step away too and then said, “If you’re going to hell, we’re all going to hell with you.” While we didn’t look at hell as many people do as Latter-day Saints at the time, and even now my transition out of religion has shifted the idea as a whole for me, I understood the sentiment she meant in what she said, and it meant a lot to me. Thank you for always loving and supporting me mom. ❤️ This song is dedicated to those who show unconditional love in a world where it’s so easy to judge things we don’t fully understand, the way my mom showed that love to me.

    Hell Together Lyrics
    VERSE 1:
    Bow your head
    Don’t be bold
    You’ll survive by
    Doin what you’re told
    Said love is earned
    And we can’t choose
    But the more you grow,
    You know the truth
    PRE 1:
    All I want is to make you proud
    If I would run would I let you down?
    You said
    CHORUS:
    If I have to live without you
    I don’t wanna live forever
    In someone else’s heaven
    So let ‘em close the gates
    Oh If they don’t like the way you’re made
    then they’re not any better
    If Paradise is pressure
    Oh
    We’ll go to hell together
    VERSE 2:
    You and me
    That’s all we need
    Blood is thicker
    than the pages
    that they read
    I’m afraid
    Of letting go
    Of the version of me
    That I used to know
    PRE 2:
    Crying tears in Sunday crowds
    took my hand, and we walked out
    Then you said
    CHORUS:
    If I have to live without you
    I don’t wanna live forever
    In someone else’s heaven
    So let ‘em close the gates
    Oh If they don’t like the way you’re made
    then they’re not any better
    If Paradise is pressure
    Oh
    We’ll go to hell together
    BRIDGE:
    Hallelujah
    What’s it doing for ya?
    When it’s in the way?
    Hallelujah
    Wish we knew it sooner
    Walking out with grace
    CHORUS:
    If I have to live without you
    I don’t wanna live forever
    In someone else’s heaven
    So let ‘em close the gates
    If they don’t like the way you’re made
    then they’re not any better
    If Paradise is pressure
    Oh
    We’ll go to hell together

      I love you man and respect you so much. God loves us the way we are as He made us and He doesn't make mistakes. The one's who make the mistakes are the ones who judge others in His name and one day when they meet God face to face, they will realize their mistake when God looks at them and says: "Depart, I do not know thee."

      Beautiful song! I am a gay man who has never been in the closet, never ever believed there was anything wrong with me (there isn't) for being gay, and want religions to stop their nonsense and end all forms of discrimination and hate. Only love, that is all we should ever do for one another. I keep listening to this song over and over and over and over again - it makes me cry. I think about my mother and how much she loved my late husband Jamie and that brought us to healing too.

      Yeah they don't teach love. They teach obedience to leaders at all costs, including love and freedom.
      I chose freedom and love and never looked back.
      Finally.
      I'm sorry you were treated bad too by this church. 🫶🏼 I never got anything but shame and the opposite of love from this church. Even when I was giving my all. It was more like an abusive relationship than a way to heaven.
      Now I'm not surprised, Joseph Smith was the original con artist and abuser, why would it not be made in his image?

    • @peachbun
      @peachbun หลายเดือนก่อน +13

      The message of this song is wrong. it is opposing God to use the voice he gave you, to say " we'll go to hell together" and to deceive others to go to hell with you, because music has a hypnotic effect, so you are leading others to hell with you by singing this. You need to take it seriously and repent, not hate someone for giving you a warning.
      You don't know your Creator, you need to know Him and stop assuming false ideas. God loves you, but he does have rules for our wellbeing.
      I'm glad your mom cares about you, but she may not be following Christ herself if she does not call you to repentance. If she would rather die than be with Jesus because of her love for you, or encourage you to do the same, that it's better to die than to let God work in your heart... that is a deception. A person who knows God will not forsake communion with God because of a human they love. Instead, you should feel you want to give up your life, so that the other person might be saved.... And sometimes that takes risking the relationship, in order to tell them something that is hard for them to hear, in hope that it may save them.
      You might think pressure is negative, but it takes pressure to make a diamond too.

      @@peachbun Yo, I know you're very committed to your faith, but you're talking a little crazy now. Ain't nothing wrong with loving people.
      The song isn't about literally going to "hell together". It's about accepted those who have been cast out by a church/society who may not accept them. And saying: "hey if they think you're going to hell for your doing your best to live a good life, then I'm going with you," showing that you'll love someone even when other people look down upon them.
      Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
      Jesus loved those, even if they were cast out, or considered "sinners" by the predominate religion at the time.

      ​@@peachbunright, right, the only one who knows what God really thinks is you and your church right? 😂
      Do you know how dumb this sounds? Literally every denomination thinks they've found the righteous path and everyone else is wrong
      Have you ever considered maybe the people who taught you the Bible had an agenda?
      And that agenda made you think hating people is a Christian value
      It's not
      Because I studied the Bible for years, from the historical perspective, and I can tell you that the Bible does not condemn homosexuality in the way you've been lead to believe
      First off, King James had male lovers, this is historical fact 😂
      And the translations they used in the passages referring to homosexuality were inaccurate, they are referring to the Roman/Greek custom of older men having young male "lovers", though the young man didn't usually have a say in the matter
      These passages in the NT are referring to pedos, not homosexuals

      You're telling others how they should express themselves and live their life. If you're a Christian, is that way of thinking, judging and trying to control someone eles's life part of Christian values and beliefs? If so, I don't know who would want your religion or the people like yourself that come with it.

      I hope people told you how strong you were for that. I grew up in a strict Muslim house and I’ve seen strict Catholic and strict Jewish families as well. And I think out of all of that Mormonism is the hardest to leave, especially at a young age because of how intertwined religion, family, friends, and community are among Mormons. If you leave Mormonism, you have to pretty much leave everything/everyone and start your whole life from scratch. That takes a lot of strength especially when you’re a teenager. I’m glad you lived despite them and I hope you have a happiness in your life.

      Jesus said people would know who his disciples are by their love, but all I'm seeing in you is religious zealotry and a failure to (one) mind your own business and (two) appreciate a mother's unconditional love for her child, which Christ would no doubt approve of considering he died for everyone regardless. I don't doubt your sincerity, but I feel like you've lost the plot a little.

My life has been rich, fun, and full of amazing people that as a mormon I would never have known because I'd have pitied them. I have been in a non traditional relationship for 28 years. Again, we never would have met if I hadn't been brave, mustered all my courage, and ended the abuse of living in a cult. We can only be as Brave as we can be. I love how your mother supported you.

      I’m really sorry Jordan. I know your mom loves you more than anything. Sometimes it’s hard when you put so much into giving your kids a belief system and they don’t agree. We’re all just doing the best we can in this life to make sense of why we are here and what to do to find meaning and purpose in it. I haven’t spoken with her about any of this, but I’m certain if you are feeling alone that she probably misses you too.
      Some of my brother and sister in laws have left the church, but it hasn’t changed our relationships. We’re all okay with each other and are even getting together for Easter Sunday. It’s really as though nothing has changed, even though they don’t believe anymore. My advice would be to just be unapologetically yourself, but don’t pull away, even if it feels uncomfortable for a while. Please please please stick around. I may be wrong, but in my experience they will adjust and it will all work out❤

    As a somewhat active member of the church, I was actually very worried about this song. I knew it was about him leaving the church and I was worried it would go against my beliefs to support it. However after listening to the song I completely changed my mind. It’s just about a guy who was trying to figure things out for himself and having someone support him. I really felt some of the pain during “crying tears in Sunday crowds. Took my hand and we walked out.” While I have not gone through the same experiences as he has, I do understand how it feels to hear things in church that don’t make sense to me. While I still consider myself an active member of the church it doesn’t mean I don’t question things and I think this song will speak to anyone that has questions about any religion. It’s a beautiful song.

      I’m really sorry for that but that’s the point of it. No one is perfect, we are all sinners. Your daughter is trans, i’m lustful, a liar, a cheater, a prideful.. everyone is, who say who’s perfect no? Everyobe in the bible weren’t perfect, they all sinned and still sinned after but that did not stop God from loving them, so who to say that God will stop loving us? Sadly, we christians condemn eachother, it goes farther than what God intended.

      I left the church too. When i grew up my parents never made me go until we came upon hard times and needed help with food and finance then we were forced to go. 😢 i never felt like I belonged. My family would walk in and we would get dirty looks from people like they were better than us cause they attended every single Sunday, and if we were a little late they'd announce over the intercom that our family finally showed up. Super embarrassing. Plus I don't believe that I'm not gonna see family and friends in heaven that are not active lds members or are a different religion. My uncle was catholic and my aunt is lds I am pretty sure. My uncle died like 7 years ago. He lived an amazing life. I don't believe My sweet auntie is not gonna see her hubby in heaven. Another thing is I have a cousin who just came out as gay. His parents are very strict lds. He got outcast and stopped coming to family functions his parents do not support him. Most of my extended family does not support him. I finally got to see him at My grandpa's 90th birthday party and I gave him the biggest hug.
      Please Give your daughter a hug from me. And that if God doesn't accept her or anyone who doesn't follow the church's guidelines to a T that all of us who "don't belong" will all have a great time together in hell. I don't want to be in heaven either if they don't allow people for being Trans or gay, or in my case not temple worthy.

      I left in 2015 and also lost the ability to "feel" things. I was so much more peaceful and safe and happy but life lost it's mystical/magical quality. I also quit writing. It took about 8 years for the magic, emotion, and feeling of connection to start to come back. I think those blank, solitary years were a necessary part of healing and protecting myself. Now that I'm feeling things again, I've had to be in therapy to process through all of the past trauma so that I can integrate all the parts of myself and not compartmentalize or dissociate. Good luck on your healing journey! Music is am amazing tool to help you access your inner world.

      I used to watch internet adult videos every day, three or more times per day. In August, 2021, my cat, Cupcake, a beautiful black and white Tuxedo cat, passed away. I loved my cat unconditionally. When she passed away, I started looking into NDEs, to see if I would be with her in the afterlife, and I have since watched over 1,000+ NDEs. I can tell you, beyond any doubt, that there is only one way people can go to Heaven and it is by accepting the forgiveness of the Lord. Following your lusts will never fulfill you: love is not lust. Gay love is by definition lust because it isn't actually mutual, it's 1 at a time, plus it's a twisting of what our Father intended. Only true love can make you happy, this is lust, not love. I also enjoy the math miracles of the 'Hidden Code in Genesis 1:1' by The Living Word, as well as the 'middle math of Psalms 118:8', and so many more examples. There are tens of thousands, if not more, of math miracles in the Good Book. I encourage you all to look into what I'm saying so you can do your own research and judge for yourself if what I'm saying is true. Say this prayer: "Jjeessuuss, forgive me. I want to encounter you." Have a good day, be blessed and Saved: be sure you will enter Paradise after your last day of life.

Its been the toughest, but best years of my life leaving the church and being 100% myself. So thankful I grew to see the truth and leave the Mormon church. Youre right.

      I used to watch internet adult videos every day, three or more times per day. In August, 2021, my cat, Cupcake, a beautiful black and white Tuxedo cat, passed away. I loved my cat unconditionally. When she passed away, I started looking into NDEs, to see if I would be with her in the afterlife, and I have since watched over 1,000+ NDEs. I can tell you, beyond any doubt, that there is only one way people can go to Heaven and it is by accepting the forgiveness of the Lord. Following your lusts will never fulfill you: love is not lust. Gay love is by definition lust because it isn't actually mutual, it's 1 at a time, plus it's a twisting of what our Father intended. Only true love can make you happy, this is lust, not love. I also enjoy the math miracles of the 'Hidden Code in Genesis 1:1' by The Living Word, as well as the 'middle math of Psalms 118:8', and so many more examples. There are tens of thousands, if not more, of math miracles in the Good Book. I encourage you all to look into what I'm saying so you can do your own research and judge for yourself if what I'm saying is true. Say this prayer: "Jjeessuuss, forgive me. I want to encounter you." Have a good day, be blessed and Saved: be sure you will enter Paradise after your last day of life.

Finding no joy or solace in the church's teachings. It took strength to come out as a middle-aged adult, it has been really rough and lonely, but I know who I am and am finding joy for the first time in life. This message will truly save lives, we need to support each other, and truly Love One Another. Thank you for writing this song...

      The message of this song is wrong. it is opposing God to use the voice he gave you, to say " we'll go to hell together" and to deceive others to go to hell with you, because music has a hypnotic effect, so you are leading others to hell with you by singing this. You need to take it seriously and repent, not hate someone for giving you a warning.
      You don't know your Creator, you need to know Him and stop assuming false ideas. God loves you, but he does have rules for our wellbeing.
      I'm glad your mom cares about you, but she may not be following Christ herself if she does not call you to repentance. If she would rather die than be with Jesus because of her love for you, or encourage you to do the same, that it's better to die than to let God work in your heart... that is a deception. A person who knows God will not forsake communion with God because of a human they love. Instead, you should feel you want to give up your life, so that the other person might be saved.... And sometimes that takes risking the relationship, in order to tell them something that is hard for them to hear, in hope that it may save them.
      You might think pressure is negative, but it takes pressure to make a diamond too.

    I slowly walked away from the church 3 years ago. But I learned the truth about the history over the last year through my husband while he was going to his faith crisis.
    I’m so glad that I listened to my gut and left. As I got older none of the rules made any sense to me anymore. I met incredible beautiful people outside the church, and was tired of trying to be this perfect version for everyone else in the church. I was dying inside. completely lost myself. Leaving was the scariest thing to do because I didn’t know who I was or what I believed in anymore, and I was afraid of hurting members of my family and losing friends.
    I can’t change how certain family members or friends feel about me leaving. I wish they understood how hard I tried to stay in and how painful it was for ME to leave. I was not lazy in it like so many assume.
    Now I feel so free and so grateful to have left. A huge weight has been lifted and the world doesn’t look so scary now that I don’t believe in these days being “the last days”
    I get to see the beauty in so many people, make new friends that love and accept me for being me, and choose how I want to live my life.
    The church’s talk on having “free agency “ was never true. Now, after leaving I feel that I finally have that free agency.
    Thank YOU so much David for sharing this beautiful song. It’s going to help so many people. ❤

    I already know what they will think because of how they talk about others who have left behind their back.
    I just want to be fully authentic, but I'm scared to find out if their love for me is as unconditional as my love for them. Can they set aside what they form their whole life around in order to love me? Will they only love me in hopes of bringing me back?
    I dont want them to mourn me, but shielding them is hurting me in the process.

    Love this song so much! I left the church for the same reason your mom did. My brother in law (husband's brother) came out as gay and I could not longer be a part of it as someone who loves him. I've know my brother in law since he was a baby and he's like my little brother. Little did I know a few years later 2 of my daughters would come out as gay. I knew I made the right decision to leave because I was able to support them. And I have many other extended family members (including my oldest brother) who have come out as gay. This song holds special meaning to me. Thanks for creating something so beautiful for all of us to enjoy!

    Holding love, relationships, and family hostage is their tactic for keeping people scared enough to choose to hurt those same relationships. Choosing love over anything else sets us free. ❤️❤️❤️🤟🏻

    I wish this song was around when I first had my faith crises. I made so many choices trusting that adults around me knew better, speaking for god. Somethings I did were worth it no matter what, some I look back with regret, mostly because I convinced myself of a lie and talked myself out of doubting and ignoring evidence. Now I am true to myself, to my god, to my family, and I've never been happier. A GA asked "where will you go? What will you do?"
    I'll go to hell. Together with my spouse, my morals I keep because of my convinction, not fear, and be happy.

      The message of this song is wrong. it is opposing God to use the voice he gave you, to say " we'll go to hell together" and to deceive others to go to hell with you, because music has a hypnotic effect, so you are leading others to hell with you by singing this. You need to take it seriously and repent, not hate someone for giving you a warning.
      You don't know your Creator, you need to know Him and stop assuming false ideas. God loves you, but he does have rules for our wellbeing.
      I'm glad your mom cares about you, but she may not be following Christ herself if she does not call you to repentance. If she would rather die than be with Jesus because of her love for you, or encourage you to do the same, that it's better to die than to let God work in your heart... that is a deception. A person who knows God will not forsake communion with God because of a human they love. Instead, you should feel you want to give up your life, so that the other person might be saved.... And sometimes that takes risking the relationship, in order to tell them something that is hard for them to hear, in hope that it may save them.
      You might think pressure is negative, but it takes pressure to make a diamond too.

    David I’m so proud of you ❤ i was probably 10 or 12 when you were on American idol, and I was just a little Mormon boy then and looked up to you so much. Now I’m just myself and I still look up to you. This song is so powerful, you have such a wonderful family ❤

    David sings like an angel and the lyrics are written with his heart in his hand. The music is not at all the type of music that I listen to, but I must admit that it is a good piece of music with meaningful lyrics, in a world where commercial music only talks about shaking your butt.
