I never thought much about his lyrics. They are Definitely dense with idea. However i always just assumed he was making up stories to play with his band. Much like most lyricists do.
I think I found mewithoutYou when I was searching for great Christian bands that have the indie, post-punk/grunge, melodic, smashing pumpkin-ish sound I like. Think Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Maps" kind of melodies with lyrics that glorify God. Very hard to find. Im a little disappointed that he leans more Muslim than Christian. but my love for him and the band remains unscathed.
I’d like to think that a song will have a different meaning to different people, and that meaning whatever it may be…then keep that close to your heart.
Amazing cover! A lot of covers lack the emotional impact, which is what this song is about, but I feel like you nailed that Very Important aspect 😭😭😭 😂 Inspiring 😉
Vinnie is hands down one of the nicest dudes I've ever met. I've been a fan of his for nearly 20 years and have been in his orbit over the past several years, especially since moving to NYC. Once he actually hung up on a friend he was on the phone with when I ran into him so he could say hi!
Absolute legend! Vinnie is such an amazing cool guy and awesome songwriter and so underrated, I love this guy and everything he does! Thank you! 🙌👏👊🤝🍻🖤💙
I think that encounter he had with that individual shook him off the path. You can be certain of truth and its objectivity because they are not another's words but the Word itself declares it was breathed out by God. At that point you either believe that or not. You could hear searching and seeking in the music of the first couple albums, and I still like the last couple albums, but the search to know God or truth really is present in their early music. That is where Christ differs from any other religion, he claims objectivity and exclusivity which demands belief or unbelief, no in between. Christ can't be unified with any other religion, just doesn't work that way. No matter the case, I love the music these guys make, no one else like them out there.
that is fanaticism big homie. single-minded zeal and a failure to reconcile with any other way. other religions and cultures exist and are deeply human. this is like a whole paragraph of fancy words when all youre saying "i'm right, others are wrong, because god." if christ don't wanna be unified with me and my homies, then i'll see u all in hell big chillin' with king virgil and my other unbaptized kings
@@choppedandspewed My words are simple and direct. Christ didn't give exception for and melding or mixing of "religious" belief. He said " I am the way, the truth, and the life". That is a claim that demands a response. Either he was completely truthful or false. It isn't a matter of I am right, you are wrong or vice versa. It is a matter of, he laid out the truth claim, and you either believe it or not, but if you don't at least investigate it considering the picture of reality he painted, that responsibility and decision falls on you alone. God allows free choice and the eternal reality that comes with it. The hell you speak of is separation from God. Every good thing that has taken place in your life however mininscule is a gift, but where there is separation from God, there is separation from the gifts and mercies of God (hell). Baptized/unbaptized is inconsequential, faith in Christs' payment for your sin is the variable. Your a sinner, as I am, as everyone else is and sin and God can't live in the same venue. You can allow him to cleanse it from you or you can allow sin to make you its slave. Either way there is no neutral ground, you make a choice actively or passively.
It depends, because C S Lewis says that "Christianity is paganism perfected" so you can actually get to Christ in a roundabout way. But yes, once you find Him, he belongs at the top.
I met Adrian and the rest of the band in Boulder, Colorado at a show called the Freedom On Fest. What a great group of humans. I hope for and know that they will do great things.
He has such crippling impostor syndrome. I think when people pour through his lyrics he assumes they are looking for truths but we're just there to see someone struggle with truth as eloquent as we'd hope to be. When I revisit his words every so often in my older age I'm baffled that he wrote some of this stuff in his early twenties.
I think the concepts he wrote about in his early twenties are timeless, human, and transcendent. He is also very well read so there are borrowed concepts (from religion especially) and quotes, so what we have here is a lyricist with brutal honesty, intelligence and flow but also bringing in ideas that are more powerful and larger than any person or group.

Wow dude. You’re a living legend. I know so many of my friends have gained stories I’ll never truly understand after not making it pass the physicals myself. But I just have so much love for these people who live across the world who we see pass by. You’re beliefs in life feel fundamental a lot. Also John Mayor is so Major!!!
Many artists have heavy similarities to their inspirations, dumbass. Even more so in pop punk related genres. Congratulations, your comment is pointless.
