"let love cut through the American noise". I remind myself and my friends to do this whenever tragedy occurs, be it private or international. This song speaks in volumes in so many ways!
What's great about Skillet is the fact that they're an inspirational band. While all the other "rock classification" bands are a depressed, tear yourself down kind of band. They're here to build us up. Thank you Skillet.
What I love about this music video is that it shows that everyone struggles. Adults, children, parents, teenagers, students. Not one group has it easy. But it shows that as long as you keep on going and keep on living, everything will turn out for the better
This is one of those songs that I've loved for so many years but every time I come back to it, it has a new, more powerful meaning for me. It's like the song is alive, and it grows and evolves as I do. Truly a beautiful song and one of my favorites of all time. I hope Skillet never goes away and continues to inspire!
Speaking as one of the worst Christians in the world, I wish more people would spread their message as effectively as Skillet does, maybe I wouldn't have been as big a backslider as I have been. I've had pierced ears and tattoos since I was a teen (I'm going on 55 in May) and even though I had the desire to go to church people looked down on me and treated me like a leper when I went. Even the preachers had little time for my wife and I. I've grown since then and have come to realize that it's what YOU make of your worship experience, not how you are treated by other so called "Christians". Keep up the awesome work Skillet, you have a couple fans in my family.
Angry words and honking cars Satellites and falling stars Distant dark, blue radios that whisper down my boulevard Ghosts in chains rattle in the attic Broken headphones filled with static Lonely room, you've got nowhere to run Three, two, one for all and all for one Times will be bad, times will be good Things I wish I hadn't done somehow wish I would Cutting through the American noise You've got a voice and a song to sing (And a song to sing) Drink deep in the morning Drink deep in the morning See what the day will bring Lift up your voice Let love cut through the American noise Lift up your voice Let love cut through the American noise Slamming doors and cellphone rings Hurricane force of silent screams Don't know what to believe Bend the rule just to break it You're so tired because you got to fake it You just want to be someone Three, two, one for all and all for one Times will be bad, times will be good Things I wish I hadn't done somehow wish I would Cutting through the American noise You've got a voice and a song to sing (And a song to sing) Drink deep in the morning Drink deep in the morning See what the day will bring Lift up your voice Let love cut through the American noise Lift up your voice Let love cut through the American noise No matter who you are you've got a voice Why don't you use it Take all the noise And make it into music Lift up your voice Let love cut through the American noise You have a choice Let love cut through the American noise You've got a voice Let love cut through the American noise enjoy
Thank you so much Skillet for pulling me out of depression. I used to be very depressed and it was hard,now you make it so easy! I love you guys so much! This song helps me everyday I listen to it everyday to remind myself not to go back into the darkness. Again thank you for everything who've done for me. I know you may not even read this but for maybe one person that's reading and maybe you're in depression,don't worry it'll get better it always does. If someone in Skillet reads this just thank you. :)
I also suffered from depression and it's amazing how far ive gotten and this song also helped me and it still helps me get through the hard times of life and it's also the kindness i c in others whether it b online or in rl. Thank you for this comment and happy thanksgiving if ur watching this on or near thanksgiving.
Speaking from experience as someone who suffers from depression and anxiety and was bullied in high school, I cried. Music like this is beautiful and helps me through my darkest moments. I'm an atheist, but I still appreciate the uplifting message of this song.
To ALL the atheists that post stuff about Skillet..... I LOVE YOU!! Skillet reaches EVERYONE, no matter what your beliefs are, and THAT is cool!! John states in a U-Tube video, "The making of "Rise", that the Rise album is about ALL of us, rising up to make this world a better place. I LOVE the Rise album.....
I used to listen to skillet so much as a kid and still to this day, i even got a signed pic of the band, this song makes me feel so happy even in 2023!
this song describes me soo well. im always pretending to be someone i know im not. i pretend to be this confident beautiful happpy girl, when in reallity, im a sad, insecure,girl who doesnt have any friends. well thats not true. i have skillet. i also have all of the nice people here on youtube.i hate being someone im not. but no one knows who i am.I hate to admit it. no one knows how i really feel. i guess now someone does. you, reading this.
Kenzerton Meter yes I understand so well I'm the girl who cuts herself off from the people around her so when they leave like they always do she won't be affected even if it meant being by herself.
I did that my senior year lost one of my best friend but it's fine. But I have god to be with me. Just to let u now your never alone god is always by u when ever u need help pray things can change over time if u believe he love us all even when we don't he helped with my depression I wanted to kill my self. But god toke me to this band and help me through my ups and downs I will be praying for u he will only help if u ask him
The two signifiers in the video are the sunlight and the walls. 1. The sunrise shows there is light and a solution to any problem at the end. 2. The walls show that we have been imprisoned due to our problems whether it be professional or personal. Its breaking represents that it will be okay and will be free in the end.
Skillet literally drove me back to God...I've tried to lost God several times, and for the last time, it seemed like i managed to...but then i found one of your musics, while browsing YT for some sick rock. SInce i'm listening to your music, in stead of Slipknot(no offense to their fans, they make good music too), i feel much happier, i feel fulfilled with God's love, and somehow i really feel that i love you...not just like saying it, but literally, i DO love you, dear Skillet. I know i barely have chance of you reading this, even less chance to get a reply from you, but if you see this comment, i want you to know, you have just changed another life, and i feel so happy for finding you. I will pray for you whenever i can, not cuz you need it, you are clearly blessed, but cuz you ALL deserve it :) Cheers :)
Давно слушаю Skillet, а эту песню как-то пропустила. Клип такой трогательный, доводит до слез. И слова песни это то, что наверное каждый человек хотел бы услышать. Я жалею, что не знала о ней раньше. Думаю, эта песня помогла многим людям и дала вдохновение
I can't believe that "Rise" is over 8 years old now. This was their most recent album when I found this band after listening to 'Yours to Hold' off of "Comatose".
America best country in the world land of the free. I am glad to be living in this country. Also love the classic American muscle cars in the background.
This has to one of my all time favorite songs by Skillet, it's true no matter what you do have a voice and God will always be there. God made a miracle happen for me and I will always thank him for that and I may be in pain and all but thanks to him and my surgeon I can be happier and do more stuff.
There will always be rough times but put your faith in god and he will help you get through it and thank him for everyday you wake up breathing cause he's given you another day
If you like them I also think you should check out - if you've missed them - "Warner Drive", especially the song "Fully loaded" and also "halestorm", especially the song "I miss the misery", I stumbled across them like I stumbled across Skillet.
Welcome, buddy 😃 You should definitely check out "Looking for angels" from "Comatose", and also "Refuge" from latest album "Dominion", you'll not be disappointed
This song has given me a bit of peace of mind. With all the hatred going on in the country and the world, i feel suppressed in my own feelings. But the song helps me focus to cut through pass those feelings and remember i have my own voice. They can try to silence me, but they won't force me to change who i am.

Wow, wow, wow, so powerful. Didn't expect to be reminded of the love that was shown me when I was being bullied. Remembering why I got a voice, it's to speak for those who don't feel like they will be heard, for the downtrodden and marginalised in our world. To those who feel down I say listen for the still small voice saying 'come up here my beloved'
From 2nd to 5th grade I had a class teacher who bullied me. She was telling me things like I'm an idiot, dickhead and a little moron. Other people stopped to talk to me, started stealing my things, hiding my bag somewhere in the school and telling everybody that I'm lesbian, that I'm weird and other things that aren't even true. I twice visited a psychiatrist 'cause I was sad and scared to going to school. But then I discovered Skillet and they helped me very much. That teacher is now gone. (unfortunetly next year she's gonna be teaching 3rd grade) But the main thing is that you guys were here and making this awesome music that helps not only me, but other people even with much worse problems than me. Thank you so much 😍💜
I have lost a lot of people in my short life but this song brings me to my knees. I am a young man of little stature, and it takes a lot to bring a big guy like me to my knees. I am now in states custody in Missouri and this song puts me back in time when I once lost a loved one. thank u skillet very much for a hart felt song that can bring a tough young man to his knees.
No matter who or what you are. No matter what you believe or disbelieve. No matter what people tell you. You have a voice. No matter how hard it gets, no matter how much you wish it would just stop. Remember, you have a voice.
Happy 4th of July 2020, everybody. This year has sucked but I hope anyone reading this can take a little moment to breathe in and breathe out and remember there will be better days.
Things are not going well in my personal life but this song always makes me believe that there is a solution to every problem and no matter how hard everything seems at that point..it will have a good ending. I got to know about Skillet when a classmate was jamming to Awake and Alive in my university and the band has now become one of my favourites.
Times will be bad Times will be good See what the day will bring God bless you, just know when you suffer alone with Christ God will reward you openly. And take joy when you are under pressure for it will help you be more Christ like!🙌💙
@@abstract9919 I'm doing much better and am very much happy in my life thanks to the Almighty. Skillet's songs are so uplifting for me. Their music is for everyone irrespective of what we believe in. There is light at the end of every tunnel. God is there for everyone, just believe in him and be patient. Good things surely come. #LoveIsWhatWeWant #PeaceForever
This song speaks to me with passion, it has helped me through hard times and told me the thing I've wanted to do for my whole life and told me it was possible. They're also the band that has kept me alive for the past two years. Thank you Skillet for the gift you have given us. Thank you for everything.
dude....back in the day i was such a fan of comatose the album, but i havent listened to skillet in forever... just found out about this album through this song i found when somebody posted it. this sounds like 300000 times softer/different, and the production def sounds dif too....not necessarily a bad thing i guess but WOW this is different! like compare Whispers in the Dark to this... dang...
this is probably the prettiest song and the most peaceful video. others are still really good and badass, but this one is so pretty and calming. I love it.
