I remember being 15 and they played this at a live show after A LOT OF BEGGING from the audience, and the audience sang the childrens' part.....wow...what a memory
my specific performance was at the Warehouse Live in Houston in....2008? I think I found a video of a similar thing happening by searching live performances of the song. It was very haunting in the small intimate space of the Studio room though.
this is their encore song now, they're on tour right now in case you didn't know. But if you didn't it's probably too late lol all their shows sold out almost immediately, luckily i was able to get tickets to 2 of their shows and had never seen them before last night. It was definitely something i will never forget. I grew up listening to them and it was a must to see them if they ever got back together haha
Most underrated band of all time. Been listening to them since Blueprints for the Black Market in 2003. Blessed to finally see them live for the last time in Florida in December.
my favorite favorite favorite song makes me feel like crying sometimes especially driving on the road through virginia and west virginia forever it makes evrything better beautiful song!!!!
This is one of the most amazing, breathtaking, and outstanding pieces of music in recorded music history! Seriously, every note is amazing and not one second of this epic masterpiece is left to go to waste. This is musical brilliance at it's best!
I wish more people knew about anberlin because there music is amazing. Wanna hear another great song? Dismantle Repair by Anberlin almost as epic as this masterpiece.
I've heard allot of people saying that all Anberlin songs sounds pretty much the same, you know what I tell 'em? If it aint broken, don't fix it. Never change Anberlin, keep on rocking!
A quite recent band but wow, how great are they !! Whenever I feel a bit down, I just have to listen to them and BANG !! I'm up to anything, one of my favorite band of all time !!
More I listen to this song, better I know my soul. It's crying from joy that something this beautiful has just reached it and my soul is now free :D This is an epiphany.
stuhlz This song isn't talking about God. The band said it's about a father who was a pastor who left his family, supposedly for the ministry. At this point I want to say that because their is not vocal inflection or nonverbal communication in comments like mine, I want to make sure my comment to come off as coming from a know-it-all. I only know this info from a sibling who did some digging on the subject and I'm sure you know lots that I don't I just thought you might want to know.
Been listening to anberlin since I was like, 7. Gotten through the worst in my life using their music. And when I felt my most callous and numb I played this song to remind myself how to feel
I know, right? The whole song is a massive buildup to him loosing his faith, and the last 2 minutes are him finally surrendering to God and choosing to not give in. It's chill-inducing.
These lines give me the chills: "Widows and Orphans aren't Hard to Find" "Wish your drinking would hurry and Kill you" "We're not questioning God" and of course the best " We're no better, you'll see, Just all of us the lost causes" I'm seeing them in La Mirada tomorrow, cant wait!
I find it amusing that some of these people have nothing better to do than keep track of what arguments they are having with someone likely hundreds of miles away... Epic way to spend time! Then again, I am taking 30 seconds to write this comment. Worth it.
thats one of the best part about their songs, you can listen to it blindly and just enjoy the melody, or you can analyze every last word and then truly understand the meaning of the song
Sad that such an amazing song has so many ignorant and negative comments. I personally am not Christian, but I still appreciate the beauty of this song.
I'm an atheist, and i found two songs i really liked that were interpreted by christian bands. This proves music is different than words. IT IS ABOUT THE MUSIC, because that is the real cure to everything :) Make love, not war :)
There is always a meaning in a song. Its the main purpose of music. Sending messages or stating a problem that should be changed is the usual situation. Thats what songs can do. They can make you think in certain ways. If you are thinking about that, then they have done half their job. The other half is the emotion and the way they present their lyrics. I feel they have done that, so this is a good and complete song :] Oh and Anberlin is awsum x]
I am so happy there are people like you. Yes we can't argue with unbelievers all we can do is talk with them and teach them. The Holy Spirit can do the rest. The only time we should argue is if they start teaching false stuff. Even Jesus got mad in the Bible when people disrespected what was right, by throwing parties in the temple and proclaiming false teaching to people. You seem to know the Bible pretty well. Thanks again. TazKongMcgraw
@yeti0609 nice... I just saw them yesterday at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and everybody was screaming "feel good drag, Feeel Good Drag!, FEEL GOOD DRAG!!!" so they played feel good drag at the end. It was so crazy because everybody was moshpitting like crazy!!!
To all you out there that don't believe in god i pray for you. And when that day comes when you have to answer to him then you will believe. God is love and everything in this world how do you think this all came here my freinds so please believe in him because he gave his life for you. God bless you all :)
I LOVE the tragic nihilism of this band !!! When I listen to this I know TWO MASSIVE facts : 1) That whatever on earth is going on, I've accidentally won and wound up in the hot-seat.. being asked the crucial questions.... and 2) This timely band is helpfully offering a soundtrack.
I also keep trying to listen to this song much that I get fatigued of Anberlin so I can stop listening to them and have the experience of hearing them again and getting that same, ooh! feeling. I've yet to succeed since this song somehow doesn't get old. Dang it Anberlin! I can't stop!
@maxoutmusic it was just pure amazement, high energy, both my shoes were ripped apart by the end of the show, and they played Ready Fuels last! It was so cool, the college crowd was awesome, they never stopped moving, and they played a perfect set, opening with godspeed and all, nothing is better than a good band and a good crowd, and thats what we got =)
this song is the kind of song that soothes your heart and soul. this band is fucking amazing and if you hate this band you don't know what real music is.
While listening to this song, I looked up who the patron saint of lost causes was and I found out that it's St. Jude. I flipped out when I found this out because I volunteer for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, a charity hospital that treats children with catastrophic diseases. I never knew what St. Jude was the patron saint for, and I just thought this was a crazy cool coincidence because I love Anberlin :]
guys come on, just listen to the song, anberlin's music is incredible, and your argument is pointless because neither of you will convince the other person. if you want to argue send messages to each or something. just listen to the music, it's uplifting beyond words.

One of the most beautiful and breathtaking songs I have EVER heard. Kudos to Anberlin for producing such a remarkable masterpiece.
Very good song.
I remember being 15 and they played this at a live show after A LOT OF BEGGING from the audience, and the audience sang the childrens' part.....wow...what a memory
They were closing with this on their last tour, such a great night
please tell me there is a video of that somewhere

Lucky you...
Most underrated band of all time.
Been listening to them since Blueprints for the Black Market in 2003. Blessed to finally see them live for the last time in Florida in December.
This song live is AMAZING.
I can still remember the power in Stephen's voice belting it out. Whoooaaaa.
my favorite favorite favorite song
makes me feel like crying sometimes
especially driving on the road through virginia and west virginia forever
it makes evrything better
beautiful song!!!!
This song is amazingly awesome, but most of their music is very enlightening and heart felt. love this band!
You know, this song should've been released as a single. It's really one of the best songs in recorded history!
I'm going to miss Anberlin so much! I'd get down on my knees and beg them to stay together, but it's a lost cause.
Punpunpunpunpunpunpunppunpunpunpunpunpunpunpunpunpunpunpunpun
don't be sad that it's over be glad it happened.
Aren’t you glad they’re back together 😀
My absolute favorite part is when the kid choir comes in. It sounds amazing with the heavy guitars and drums.
This is one of the most amazing, breathtaking, and outstanding pieces of music in recorded music history! Seriously, every note is amazing and not one second of this epic masterpiece is left to go to waste. This is musical brilliance at it's best!
I really need to stop falling in love with bands that aren't together anymore.
Just give it a couple years. You can see them again.
No problem, there are a ton of great artists that are dead, not together is hardly a barrier.
Surprise
they announced a album for this suffering..
New album and touring right now...
I remember back in the day this was in one of my favorite halo montages, still remember it. :) miss those days.
Best album closer ever!
This song has so much emotion and Intensity at the same time...
beautiful
Give me goosebumps everytime
This is one of there greatest songs I love Anberlin, and this song is sheer genius
I wish more people knew about anberlin because there music is amazing. Wanna hear another great song? Dismantle Repair by Anberlin almost as epic as this masterpiece.
I’m proud of my old little 13 year old self for finding this song i’m 26 now and it’s still one of my old time favorite songs lol
I've heard allot of people saying that all Anberlin songs sounds pretty much the same, you know what I tell 'em?
If it aint broken, don't fix it.
Never change Anberlin, keep on rocking!
2019 and still listening 😊

A quite recent band but wow, how great are they !!
Whenever I feel a bit down, I just have to listen to them and BANG !! I'm up to anything, one of my favorite band of all time !!
The best song that was used in Counter-Strike 1.6 movies! I fucking cry when I listen to this... I love those memories & this whole song.
Anberlin and Taking Back Sunday are two of the most talented American rock bands ever!
My top 2 favs
Am I the only one who feels like their heart is getting ripped out of their chest?
AH!, this band is flawless.
I'm glad that there are still people out there that have a strong faith in Jesus Christ. Thank you, and I'm praying with you for all of these people.
4:30 gives me goosebumps. Such a talented vocalist!!
If you want bone-chilling goosebumps hear the full version 7:01
Thank you for posting that! I always said his lyrics are like modern psalms, and this proves it!
1 word : dualtality
Anberlin - Fin dafuk you're here
More I listen to this song, better I know my soul. It's crying from joy that something this beautiful has just reached it and my soul is now free :D
This is an epiphany.
4ever in my heart
i could spend the rest of my life listening to this song. 3:43 best part in history of music
the BEST between 2:40 and 3:20 !!
Just beautiful.
Ouvindo essa música há 7 anos.
Quem for brasileiro deixa o like!
E aê, ouço desde 2006
I was at the last Orlando show. We sang with tears.
This song ♥ ♥ ♥
The best part of the song is that last line you mentioned. I love the buildup into the distorted guitar, just great.
Yes I get that you're the patron saint of lost causes. But I still love you

Out of all rock music Christian heavy whatever ain't nothing beat the kid opera choir at the end. so amazing!
I know, right? The whole song is a massive buildup to him loosing his faith, and the last 2 minutes are him finally surrendering to God and choosing to not give in. It's chill-inducing.
Loosing?
Banging montage music
These lines give me the chills:
"Widows and Orphans aren't Hard to Find"
"Wish your drinking would hurry and Kill you"
"We're not questioning God" and of course the best " We're no better, you'll see, Just all of us the lost causes"
I'm seeing them in La Mirada tomorrow, cant wait!
Guitar Heroooooooo 😢😭
I love the choir, Realy Uplifting, I loved the way Fragtality and Sticktality Used this and Feel good Drag in the Contest Winning Montage (halo 3)
Thats what brought me here 12 yrs later :,)
I want to cry when I hear this song. ultimate goosebumps. best song they have ever written.
This isn't a song... This is a ballad. Truly incredible.
I remember this song in mw2 montages! Good old days
I find it amusing that some of these people have nothing better to do than keep track of what arguments they are having with someone likely hundreds of miles away...
Epic way to spend time! Then again, I am taking 30 seconds to write this comment.
Worth it.
I feel privileged to have found this hidden gem, it never loses its magic.
the part from 3:15 - the "choir" made me get goosebumps, just cant stop listening to this song now when i first found it :)
Anberlin together with Dredg are for me the best alternative rock bands. It's so a pity that they're not playing anymore. They put poetry in music
So True !
thats one of the best part about their songs, you can listen to it blindly and just enjoy the melody, or you can analyze every last word and then truly understand the meaning of the song
eRa Prisma + Muzik!
I co-founded that clan, really happy to see how far they're going
What an epic song! Amazing layers of musical arrangement and prose.
Sad that such an amazing song has so many ignorant and negative comments.
I personally am not Christian, but I still appreciate the beauty of this song.
I love the way this song's rythm increases in speed slowly.
OMG. Anberlin is my FAVORITE BAND EVER.
This song is EPIC, so much that, no comment could ever possibly capture how epic it is...
i can't stop listening to this song
This is one of the best songs they have!
"We're not questioning God, just those he chose to carry on His cross." One of the most powerful lines I've ever heard in a song.
I'm an atheist, and i found two songs i really liked that were interpreted by christian bands. This proves music is different than words. IT IS ABOUT THE MUSIC, because that is the real cure to everything :)
Make love, not war :)
this song is rather somber...awesome! dance dance christa paffgen brought me here, another personal favorite of mine
anberlin never fails. never.
Greatest song of all times and not even a million views! A shame, a true shame
Really beautiful song, reaches me on a whole new level so deep and touching I love you Anberlin! :**

Oh and Anberlin is awsum x]
A simply amazing song. A wonderful message too.
Honestly, this is my favourite song of all time..
I got no words to describe this song... wonderful.
I love this vocal! Amazing song!
absolutely beautiful song! I love it!
duality is easily the greatest montage of all time, cod4, cod5, h2, any game

Anberlin's masterpiece song on their masterpiece album
Best song of Anberlin
4:30-4:42 is just awesome. I love his voice there
this isn't a song, this is an anthem!
OMG I love this song so much!
this music remebers me that you need to live simple so others can live simple
2 years later and still listening to this song.....
I LOVE the tragic nihilism of this band !!! When I listen to this I know TWO MASSIVE facts :
1) That whatever on earth is going on, I've accidentally won and wound up in the hot-seat.. being asked the crucial questions....
and
2) This timely band is helpfully offering a soundtrack.
anberlin is so freakin amazing!!!
shame it didnt have the end. I LOVE THE END THE BEST its amazing..
wow.
but still BEST SONG POSSIBLY EVER TO BE WRITTEN EVER
I also keep trying to listen to this song much that I get fatigued of Anberlin so I can stop listening to them and have the experience of hearing them again and getting that same, ooh! feeling. I've yet to succeed since this song somehow doesn't get old. Dang it Anberlin! I can't stop!
Thinking about it....
beautiful song...
thanks for the help guys...
I found this song because of a Halo 3 montage called Dualtality. It's a fantastic montage with fantastic songs.
Seriously.
Absolutely beautiful.
2021 and still fire 🔥
This song is perfection
Are you still alive?
"Patron Saint, are we all lost like you?"
Heh, weird but catchy sentence
this song is amazing
this gives me so many shivers...
