10:32 Real talk …
There’s no way that Jake wouldn’t like this song. An ABR/ATR tour seems like something that could and should happen.
Enjoyed the reaction. And the breakdown at the end.
Another banger from the boyyyyyyyyyys!! Love these guys and I love you Jake. Thank you for being who you are.
We are all imperfect people born on this imperfect earth. But thankfully God gave us a way, through his perfect son who shed his blood for us, so that through him we are made righteous, and through him there is no condemnation.
If you’re hurting, if you’re broken, if you’re alone, if you’re skeptic, or even if you feel like you’re already perfect, I challenge you to seek the truth. Put it all in the hands of the One who created you
Love what you’re putting out Jake! Fun analysis of the song and the lyrics. Really appreciated how open you are here about your frustration with your public persona/identity and how that clashes with how you feel. You share some mature wisdom there. Keep it up.
Specifically on the topic of cursing, I think sometimes Christians tend to overemphasize aspects of Philippians 4:8 and ignore a particular word in the passage. 'Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable — if there is any moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy — dwell on these things. ’
Yes, we should focus on the honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable things, but Paul also writes that we should dwell on truth. And sometimes the truth is brutal and difficult. Should the Christian curse all the time in an over the top manner to the point where their identity becomes “the Christian who also swears”? Probably not. Do we need to overanalyze and berate every Christian who does curse from time to time? Probably not. If Jake feels a certain word is appropriate for a moment, who are we to judge him?
Strive for more, build each other up, brothers and sisters.
ATR came back fkn hard. I’m so happy. So so happy. It hasn’t been the same since For We Are Many.
that Adele feature …
I feel as humans, we want others to be what we want them to be bc allowing people to be who they truly are means everyone’s differences will truly show and we feel its playing life “safe” if we are all the same. like you said but in other words, “it’s a box of security” kinda like growing up in a small town in the south for me, it’s all I knew and it was my safe place and it’s hard to leave it and see and learn that there was so much more the world had to offer for me to learn and explore. I moved to Fort Wayne Indiana and left my safety net and it was a culture shock and I was afraid to erase the box at first but once I did and understood that differences between all walks of life was not playing life safe but holding me back from making me friends with folks I wouldn’t have seen as a person I’d be friends with bc I myself only wanted to surround myself with people who shared pretty much every thing I enjoyed and wanted people to be who I wanted them to be to keep ahold of my box, we are all different and I learned to accept people for who they are and not judge them for anything period. safe is just a word for us to use to feel a since of security bc no one can truly be safe life will happen, no matter what we never come out of it unscared. if we stay in our box we stay ignorant to what the world’s had to teach us even if we are the smartest people in the world. so man continue to do you and be proud of who you are. as long as your path through life sheds light onto the world spreading joy and positively even if it’s not my way or others way of doing it then you’re doing a wonderful job in a world of hate and darkness. where you’re from, gender, race, religion or any of that, to me it’s the same thing as looking at something only skin deep. look past that and what the person’s soul and heart has to offer. never judge someone period. so in my stoner preaching session lol , I end this with great reaction man and keep it up. you have another subscriber from me. and also I have no idea if that all makes sense, but I’m from small town sw arkansas and I do talk slow so I tried lol . anyways, yall all have a gooden
Bro. The real-talk from 8:50 on. There couldn’t be more truth spoken. Amen to that.
That attitude is exactly why ABR is one of my favorite bands. You guys follow your own paths and come together to spread such a positive message! Thanks for speaking the truth, Jake!
Jason Richardson AND Anthony Barone being in the same band is fucking crazy to me.
Long time fan of ABR, and you homie thank you for doin you!
Would love to see ABR and ATR together, sick line up. That would be one great show fr
I just saw Convictions and Confessions of a Traitor. Check out these two groups! Especially their Hail Mary collab song! It touches on themes of abuse.
Get All That Remains for Christmas burns red!!!
NOBODY can replace Ollie but I approve.
It’s Jake …
Thanks for the analysis Jake, I’m going through my own journey unmasking my autism after 30 years. In the process of evaluation and diagnosis. When you talked about taking the mask off, that hit me. My life has literally been one traumatic situation after the other, and by God’s grace y’all keep making music. Hang in there everyone and remember Genesis 50 “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.”
Banger song, ATR.
Jake, my guy, its an older song now but id be very interested on your thoughts in “boy” by ten56
4:26 - Volbeat would’ve been a better option imo
Jason Richardson is an alien. There is no other explanation.
