Anberlin Christian; I'm pretty sure Stephen said that this song explains the reasons for him leaving the band. He wants to spend more time at home with his family, he's seen it all and now its time to get back to what is really beautiful in life and that's being surrounded by his family and loved ones. Time continues to move on ever so slowly, and now its time for Stephen to take the next step in his life. He has enjoyed everything thus far, but as I said before he is basically saying he wants to spend every moment he can with his family, listen to the lyrics and think about that concept, might become clear.
Phzoor I feel pretty good knowing he's going better places. Even as a fan, I love their music, but it's good they all decided to go better places and occasionally meet to make good music.
I’ve seen faces I may never see again I’ve been places I never could have dreamt I’ve touched hands with those who’ve touched me Seen the marks, the skeleton keys I found peace in a foreign atonement I lost myself in a tides of a moment But nothing compares Don’t want to be here Don’t want to be here without you I need to know you I need to know you believe in me What’s it worth if what it’s worth alone? (Somebody tell me now) And what’s the point if all the points we know? (Somebody show me how) I’ve loved where I’ve been Yes I love where I’ve been But my heart’s where I’m going Don’t want to be here Don’t want to be here without you (I don’t’ want to go alone) I need to know you I need to know you believe in me (I don’t’ want to go alone) I lost myself in a tides of a moment But my heart’s where I’m going Don’t want to be here Don’t want to be here without you (I don’t’ want to go alone) I need to know you I need to know you believe in me (I don’t want to go alone) Cause I don’t want to go alone I don’t want to do this all on my own (I don’t want to go alone) (I don’t want to go alone) We can ride into the sun Together we can take it, we’re right with you inside
Probably the best Anberlin song I've heard. This sums up their career beautifully and the lyrics are just amazing! Christians voice is flawless, I'm going to miss this group, my all time favorite band. They truly made meaningful, beautiful music.
This song is based on a plane wreck that took place in 1992. I was nine years old and I think that was my first official plane ride anywhere. Al Denson was on that plane too, the one he talks about all the time. Not that any of you would know who Al Denson is, but he sort of paved the way for us christian artists. I owe a lot to him. We have all been through soooo much, the people on that plane. Hearing Voices is also based on that same wreck. I was also on that plane that landed in the Hudson. I can still feel the cold water on my legs everytime someone talks about it. I haven't written any songs about that yet. But I knew Anberlin before they were even famous. We were writing their last album before they even played a note. This last album was a tribute to the people on that plane. WE WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO LIVE. That's what the "In memory of" was for on the little slide show, we were saying our good byes. Can't wait to see that movie. Note, I wasn't really part of the band. I just helped write some of the songs and they introduced me to real music, not that nine year old crap I was listening too before that plane went down,
I'm in hell.... thank you good men for showing me right from wrong. I'm glad I finally caught you in your last show. Only time in years I cried... I still do over this music. You are real. And stable
BournGamer First and last...They never come to where I live ir even been in a closer country..:-(...So, I will have to go to see them for this great farewell...
I have to agree there. To me it's even the greatest song from them hands down. The most powerful one, as it suits well with their goodbyes...The lyrics, etc, to me seems like the song of their breakup / goodbye. Its just priceless.
for me in this album my fav is harbinger...But i gtg to say my top 3 is parthin hymn, hello allone, and this harbinger...But my 1 i think it has to be hello alone cause he says "is this the end of everything we?" he asking the world...thats why
Am at a juncture in my life where am gonna bid goodbye to a very close bunch of guys in my life. This song replicates the moment. Miss you Anberlin. Been listening to you guys since age 17. All the love guys!
I love this band. Saw them in concert in Portland Oregon when I was 18. There songs move you. I am sad they will not be creating more songs :( They will be missed by many. Maybe they will get back together after awhile :) one can only hope. Gong to buy this CD for sure. Got most of there old ones. God bless you Anberlin. Ill miss you!
I get super intense nostalgia when I hear this song. Makes me think back to driving around in my first car and listening to You Belong Here right after they dropped LITWDIAP. I definitely get the same vibes that I did then. God, I missed that feeling. Glad Anberlin was able to give it to me one more time before they disappeared. You'll be missed dearly, guys. Thanks for those memories.
My 2nd favorite song off the album but very close to number one. This song will always have a special place in my heart. I have cried from hearing this song more than once and I don't cry very often. It really does remind you that they are truly done and envisions that final show on 11/26/14 at the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida and envisions Anberlin playing that final number and taking that final bow. Gonna be an emotional reck that night.
Anberlin you will be a greatly missed band. I think this band will never die. Probably the greatest band I've ever heard. Thanks for all the great music. I've only been listening to Anberlin for a short time but I still love their music. This song really touches me and it always will. So depressing that they broke up. I crying as I post this comment right now. Probably the saddest song they have. Live on Anberlin........
I love this song. I love this band. I'll miss them. They're leave us with something memorable. I pre ordered the album back in late May. Excited for the 22nd.
You guys are amazing. I wish you could do more albums. Keep in mind that 10 years went label free. Project 86 took to kickstarter. We will support you if you want to go it your own!!
Excited to see them live again! But it's so sad that maybe that's also the last time I'll see them ever again. :'( I'll love Anberlin forever! Thank you for being with me since Blueprints for the Black Market! :(
Most spectacular and obviously my Favourite song ever! Oh Anberlin! No one could sing like "Atonement".. and just thank you for bestowed me My Soul's Alime!!!
Ok, so let's discuss, what do you think Stephen meant when he said "Seen the marks of skeleton keys?" I think he's talking about seeing God's hand at work because God has access to everyone's soul like a skeleton key opens any door in a given building. What do you think?
I removed myself from the professional music industry the moment I breached from the semi-pro career to the professional career. The reason being that the travel kept me from the people I loved. I understand this song all too well. Riches, and wealth are not worth more than your loved ones.....especially when they are ill and need your care. Lovely work gentlemen.
