I never realized how incredible Skid Row were lyrically. I always thought they were just another Hard Rock/Hair Glam Metal band. They are soooooo beyond that. The 3 ballads in this album are all perfectly written, the lyrics are poetry, the voice is… wow, the emotion on the guitars. And they have other kickass Metal songs like Slave to the Grind, The Threat, Monkey Business. This album really turned Skid Row into one of my favorite bands despite only liking their early material. Ps: they are so much better than Guns N Roses, like I love GNR but they never had this lyrical power and they weren’t as Metal as this band. GNR was pure Rock N Roll, I feel this band is closer to traditional Metal than rock. They remind of me Judas Priest
This is such a beautiful song, both musically and lyrically, whatever our personal views on religion may be. If you are here, it really should be because you can appreciate the artist(s) expression. This type of music was not always known for lyrical depth, so whether the song is about a crisis of faith or a rejection of it, it still stands apart.
Not gonna lie, i want no part of anything religious, my deep rooted views are against it so strictly that i dont wanna listen any song that is even slightly about faith. But how could i dislike song like this? It would be my loss. Hard rock bands and such dont get enough credit when it comes to lyrics. Theres much more substance than people think if they dont really know the lyrics.
I'm not religious anymore, but in the 90's, on lsd, this song did unbelievable things to my psyche. Another thing, I saw Skid Row at the OKC State Fair this year, 2021. New singer is good. Mostly I was impressed by the personable message that the band put out to us fans. They like what they do and it shows in their attitude. And if they come to your city buy a ticket. You'll be glad you did. Their setlist was perfect, with good songs you may not have realized how good they were before. These guys rock a crowd well from the time they begin until they walk off stage. Then, if you weren't impressed enough, wait a few minutes and you'll hear an acoustic guitar. And then you float in warm Quicksand and know what it feels like to be Jesus.
I’m 30 right now. I was the biggest fan of hard rock/glam rock of late 80s when I was I teen. I’m rediscovering the music a few months ago and it is so so good
Maybe the most profound metal song ever written. When my wife "HAD" cancer, the lyric, Our faiths out shelter from the cold. i took this to heart and made my faith in God stronger than my fears. God stepped in and cured my wife 110% . To all the idiots who dont believe in God. Your missing out on things you cant even understand because of your lack of Faith. May God Bless you. He sure has blessed me beyond words every day. Changed everything i know to be real and fact. Fact is, Trust in Jesus....
Very underrated band. Excellent music, lyrics, insane vocals, amazing live show. Hair band or not their bar was set (and exceeded) much higher than others.
Bro get out of the false church. Christianity is not a Religion. Its a personal relationship with Christ between you and HIM! PLEASE research as much as you can about the Catholic Church and repent. Time is short.
Alisson Dias That’s a unbiased fact that No credible philosopher historian can deny. To this day the Catholic Church is the most charitable organization in the world by far and they don’t ask you to convert for that charity.
What do we need? Where do we go? When we get where we don´t know Why should we doubt the virgin white of fallen snow? When faith's our shelter from the cold Quicksand Jesus I´m so far away Without you
The whole album is amazing. Slave to the grind. The original album had get the fuck out but some copies has that taken off. Worth checking out that if you ain't done it yet
la cosa piu' incredibile di queste band hair metal e' che i loro singers avevano degli acuti incredibili ma poi riascoltando questi pezzi oggi senza distorsioni di chitarre sembrerebbero delle comuni canzoni pop...
For me this song is about how and why religon has made us afraid to die and and made the sheep think. thay can buy thair way home the fact is dying is our right and our fate mr bach naild it with this song im 60 yrs old and i know shit so rock on and see you on the other side. 😆
Nope! I believe its you that have no clue! With all your man made teachings and doctrines, and criticize someone for there spiritual believe? I will pray for you!
It's about religion's... How they control people mindset! It's basically an Anti-Religious song. I know you put the comment down 7 year's ago but know one answered it for you!
Actually I think it's questioning the doctrines but not denying the idea of God or anything else. Like he's basically entertaining the idea of a relationship with God but not living according to the manly doctrines.
@@glucoseasgardian7177 This is just one of those great songs that can be interpreted in multiple ways. I interpreted it similarly to Stephen Carroll, but I can definitely see where you are coming from.
I don’t think is neither religious or anti religious. I think it’s just stating the fact that regardless if God exists or not, some people wouldn’t be able to go through life without the comfort of believing, so they chose to believe even if it goes against logic I’m an atheist, but I love this song
If you can't appreciate this song, go and listen to some Hip Hop or something shallow and stupid like that. Maybe some Justin Beiber, or the latest fake ass and fake tittied Ho is at the top of the charts these days.
You don’t have to be religious to like this song, I’m not. The song is not telling you God is real, it’s telling you why people believe in him. It’s a deep song about struggling with faith. Whether he exists or not, believing helps people go through stuff because it offers comfort. Some people would not be able to go through life without it. That’s the point of the song
GOD said that on this Rock He would build His Church. Sorry Sebastian, but CHRIST is the Rock. He certainly is not quicksand. I hope that since you wrote these lyrics you've learned the truth. Crying out to something that is sinking sand is the exact opposite of what we have been given in JESUS CHRIST. To those who don't agree, I will continue to pray for GOD to wake you up to.
Basic SMG So I assume by your comment that you've met "GOD" in person or dream or shape or form or vision or fantasy or dillusion or physical manifestation of "HIM"self? You must have for you seem to be well sure and aware of "HIS" gender. How would you know "GOD'S" gender? How do you know "GOD" is not a hermaphrodite? Or an asexual being? Or a woman? Really, how would you know? Was it because another human being who has never met "GOD" told you? Was it in a book written by human beings who'd never met "GOD"? Do you know that under the law in our "GOD" fearing Christian country "GOD" would be guilty in any court in the land of being an accomplice to numerous child kidnappings, rapes and murders along with other countless atrocities against humankind? If your "GOD" who must be a man, (for you yourself have given "HIM" a gender) has just sat by and watched these atrocities be committed then "HE" is surely guilty of doing nothing, or maybe the unthinkable for you is the real naked truth: "HEGOD" is the one committing the atrocities "HIM"self! Like a sick child who tortures kittens and puppies just to watch them suffer like jobe. (I spell it with an e, my choice) and gets a sick, twisted pleasure from it like so so many of "HIS" sick, twisted children throughout history that "HE" made in "HIS" image. The real tragedy is that rational, thinking, pragmatic people like me and many others have to suffer the idiocy of millions of poor fools such as yourself who follow the words and ideas placed before you without reason, question or thought as to the utter silliness of them all in the name of the fear that you will simply cease to exist and that you will be irrelevant. That my poor disillusioned friend is nothing but ego and fear incarnate and all you have to do is open your eyes to the real world in which you live, we all really do only live once, no seconds, so you might wanna uncrank that "JESUS CHRIST" sphincter muscle and relax, life's too short. Just f.y.i I'm a red-blooded heterosexual man. born in the good ole USA raised going to Sunday school and church every week, it just turned out that i was capable of independent thought and reasoning and living without the fear of nonexistence. P.S. The famous "face" on mars is actually Jesus, that's what the song's about. That's where he went after the bunny laid chicken eggs on his sarcophagus.
Basic SMG I think what he is saying when he says "quicksand, jesus i'm so far away without you" is that he is losing faith therefore sinking in quicksand and calling out to Jesus in realization that as he sinks he is indeed in need of Christ
Basic SMG I agree with you, but it's still a great song. "I'm so far away WITHOUT YOU." Research the meaning of the song instead of "judging" the title of the song.
WHY SHOULD WE DOUBT THE VIRGIN? ARE YOU KIDDING SEBASTIAN???? THE WOMAN CHETEAD ON JOSEPH FOR DIO'S SAKE!!! THAT'S THE FIRST THING THAT POPPED UP ON HER HEAD...."mm....YES!!! GOD KNOCKED ME UP...THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED"....
Still here in 2024...?!? Timeless classic!!
Me!!! Freakin love this song! And Seb is sublime!!!!!! 🔥❤🔥❤
I'm on
I'm here. Imo skid row best song
The most underrated song and lyrics in history.
Agreed. And Sebastian’s voice work on this song is amazing.
Amen to that! Thank you!
Amazing voice Sebastian
Definitely

" Do we live in fear or faith?,.. Tell me now,..who's behind the rain? poetry.
God Damn! The whole song is poetry!
There was some great lyrics first 2 albums phenomenal
Love that line!!🤘🏻🧡
Everything about this song, every second of it is a masterpiece.
This is such a beautiful song, both musically and lyrically, whatever our personal views on religion may be. If you are here, it really should be because you can appreciate the artist(s) expression. This type of music was not always known for lyrical depth, so whether the song is about a crisis of faith or a rejection of it, it still stands apart.
your so right
Trueness, Very nice song. Even if he appears like demonic but still believe in Jesus.. Amen..
Absolutely incredible song!
That voice at it's absolute best!
Not gonna lie, i want no part of anything religious, my deep rooted views are against it so strictly that i dont wanna listen any song that is even slightly about faith.

sorry to hear that. I still am. Rather amazing even some of my metal band favs have Christian overtones in them......
Skid Row is the best band....Sebastian is the greatest vocalist ever....
all 80s and 90s bands are legendary
Skd. sempre! qbra!
Besides ROBERT...
The best lyrics ever written about a human soul ever! Good job Rachel!
Rachel donaire

Angela Allen me too45 still jammin skid row
56 and still rocking
I’m 30 right now. I was the biggest fan of hard rock/glam rock of late 80s when I was I teen. I’m rediscovering the music a few months ago and it is so so good
Lyrics don't get any better than this!
You may want to listen to Bob Dylan before you say that.
Slave To The Grind is a masterpiece Skid Row came at the wrong part of the 80's they are such an awesome band
Why do you say the wrong part? Too late? Or too early?
@@shleyless Late 80s before the grunge
and produced 2 different versions of this album. Not sure if I have the Walmart censored version or not... I know I do with the Matrix soundtrack...
Maybe the most profound metal song ever written. When my wife "HAD" cancer, the lyric, Our faiths out shelter from the cold. i took this to heart and made my faith in God stronger than my fears.

Perhaps calling them idiots says alot about you and not very Christian. I doubt Jesus would approve of childish name calming.
Very underrated band. Excellent music, lyrics, insane vocals, amazing live show. Hair band or not their bar was set (and exceeded) much higher than others.
Dear Lord 🙏! The music, lyrics,that voice an the damn memories back then an still hear it today an fuckin rock's 👍👍💪💪💪💪💪🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Absolutely #1 in the entire whole wide world ! This song gives me euphoria chills deep inside of my soul !
I love you Sebastian forever 💕💞🌈💞🌈
I'm a devout Catholic, or at least I try to be, but this song proves that Heavy Metal isn't "devil's music."
No ..the Catholic church is
The western civilization exists just because of the Catholic church, even with all mistakes
Bro get out of the false church. Christianity is not a Religion. Its a personal relationship with Christ between you and HIM! PLEASE research as much as you can about the Catholic Church and repent. Time is short.
Alisson Dias That’s a unbiased fact that No credible philosopher historian can deny. To this day the Catholic Church is the most charitable organization in the world by far and they don’t ask you to convert for that charity.
Steve Nichol ive researched it. Its a religion.
WHAT AN AMAZING SONG!!!
JESUS IS KING !!!!
What do we need? Where do we go?
When we get where we don´t know
Why should we doubt the virgin white of fallen snow?
When faith's our shelter from the cold
Quicksand Jesus I´m so far away
Without you
All the years listening to skid row and never heard this song. Damn good if not one of their best.
The whole album is amazing. Slave to the grind. The original album had get the fuck out but some copies has that taken off. Worth checking out that if you ain't done it yet
Why did you not hear it til now? Please dont assume "hits" are the only good songs. They really dont determine how good a song is!
I bought this album the day it was released ! EPIC ALBUM one could not write greater words or music
this song goes out to my tio who passed away about a year ago just know that you are still here with us
One of my favorite Skid Row songs 🔥🔥🔥
Take that American Idol

Amazing Piece of art
I mainly listen to.punk.music. but this song is a masterpiece
la cosa piu' incredibile di queste band hair metal e' che i loro singers avevano degli acuti incredibili ma poi riascoltando questi pezzi oggi senza distorsioni di chitarre sembrerebbero delle comuni canzoni pop...
i am 20 and i just hear this masterpiece :(
Enjoy
It is like a powerful Gospel Song😎🌭🇮🇳

We sink if we don't keep our eyes on Him
✝️

SEBASTIAN BACH......... ESPETACULAR!!
A voz do Sebastian continua a mesma, mas o seu corpo deformou. Não se pode ter tudo, né? Vlw Sebastian, vc fez parte da minha juventude 🎃
Como alguém pode gostar de rock e não gostar das músicas dessa banda?
One of the most beatiful music ever.
Wow! Just wow!
Stands head and shoulders with guns drawn beside GNR's 'Appetite'

@TheOriginalDrakon where is the original video ?
...Who Is behind the rain?... Evidentemente io devo ancora imparare...
The line is "Blows through trees" not "Blows through threes" which makes absolutely no sense at all
A masterpiece!!!
JUST RIGHT!
3 knocks entails the unholy trinity.....perhaps a reference
No limits 2 in one
any body know what this song means, what are they talking about, pretty song but i have not a clue what it all means
It's about religion's... How they control people mindset!
