Thank you so much for reacting to the new track Rob. And stoked we got that seal of approval 😏
That was absolutely incredible. It helped me to figure out some feelings that I couldn’t decipher before. Welcome to the playlist @ConvictionsRock
As old mate said above, welcome to the playlist. It is one hell of a song. Hit hard and sounded harder. Love it
Excellent work. God bless you guys.
Man I said this on Instagram and I know you guys saw it there. But heavy is a word to describe not only the music but the weight of the lyrics. I gotta say you guys I find it hard to hear this song without shedding tears. I'm not sure if this actually stemmed from a real story (I don't need to know). But this is such a great song for feeling out the emotions of a survivor. God's grace and God's love are gifts to all and it's so sad when someone can't see past the demons in their life that they are fighting. I'm so thankful for the hearts you guys have for music and your abilities to convey a message through song. God bless guys! Also if anyone reads this and is struggling: you're loved, and you're a child of the King, we're not promised tomorrow, but we are promised to not be alone even if it feels like you may be. You are loved.
I don’t usually listen to this style of heavy but i love this song, reminds me of a friend who did the same thing. Awesome song guys. Maybe grace was the soul of the brother going up and the gift was the pain of loss from the ones left behind.
Convictions isn't a band, it's an experience. God bless you all. I hope you find Jesus through the testimonies and words in this amazing music.
When I first heard this song I was really struggling with suicidal thoughts/ideations and self harm. Hearing this song just cut to my core and led me to think about if I did go through with taking my own life, how would my little brother take it? And that train of thought helped lead me down the road of recovery that I'm on today. That entire album really helped and is still helping me overcome my struggles and better myself.
How are you doing now, brother? If you don't mind me asking.
I'm in that same boat dawg. I'm fighting for my life right now, minute by minute. This song keeps my perspective straight that I can't do that do my love ones, and I can't do that to our Savior and cut His plan for my life short!
I have a younger brother that I’m very close with and while not having any suicidal thoughts this song always breaks me down. I just imagine what it’d be like if something happened to me and how it’d be for my bro. Such a great song and band. So powerful. Hope you are doing well. I know it’s a year later and I hope you’re doing much better now. Don’t let the demons get you down!
They wrote this about a fan who committed suicide, it’s so powerful! Brought me to tears the first time I heard it
Damn, I thought it was about a literal brother.
@@Mavvyd96 the voice recording you hear is from his best friend, possibly his actually brother. Convictions described it as they were both always at their shows together traveling hours to see the band.
@@Mavvyd96 here’s a link to the story on their tiktok
vm.tiktok.com/ZMeFLp6Tn/
I cried. Today was a great day, but I heard this and cried. I lost my sister in October to suicide. I thought I had it down, but this broke me. Thank you, I needed that.
This hit me straight in my heart. I lost my best friend 9 yrs ago to suicide he was bullied to the point of seeing no way out. I don't understand why God chose to use that incident to get to me but He did. Anyone who reads this let me tell you as someone who failed a suicide Christ is the answer. And if you lost someone due to suicide im not gonna tell you the pain gets better but it gets bearable with Christ we can overcome. You're not in this fight alone. Whether you're grieving a suicide or contemplating it talk to someone. You will feel better dont hold the pain inside.
man i lost my best friend when i was 17 to suicide and a girl friend some years later to the same .. and i cant say it ever gets any better but it gets easier to manage.all you can do is carry their flame to keep them alive in your heart .. im 43 and i think about them every day .. all i can hope for is that one day we can see them again .. much love man hope you find your peace one day
15 years ago, yesterday I found my sister 15 years old hanging in our attic DOA two different defibrillators failed. I was 13 I'm 28 now I'll be 29 in November. Losing a friend and losing a family member is different, the loss is still deep. 3 years ago I had a friend of mine attempting to deal with corrupt cops got shot in the chest, he died, they called it suicide by cop. 3 months before, he told me what was going on I thought he was having a go at me. It does not, capital NOT! get easier. You learn how to live with it in a different way. This song, I found today is therapy. Last week I played Russian roulette with a 357 revolver. Two times the cylinder got locked up, the last time the hammer caught on my chest and it made me bleed. It reminded me that I am still alive, that I am still human, that I still make mistakes. I hope it scars. If not I will get a tattoo in that's exact spot. You thinking and contemplating suicide deserve to live that's the worst punishment to the crime you're trying to commit to yourself because it's not to yourself that you're hurting it's everybody around you that you don't think cares about you but they fucking do and you better believe it.
Dax "I'll say it for you" that hits home. Not the songs themselves. If you find the right video you know what I'm talking about
I'm so sorry for your loss God bless you❤️🙏🏾
If anyone is reading this and going through a tough time, know that you are not alone. You are loved, you are special and most importantly, you are NOT ALONE!
Amen!
Not alone in what way? I always read this but idk am I supposed to be not alone?
@@drkstrnd some people feel isolated as if they alone suffer and everybody around them seems to not care. This is not the case. Life is a gift but it is far from easy. We are given love as a manner in which to bolster one another. To split the worldly burden.
I see it as Jesus's sacrifice and making a way for us to have a relationship with him is the price of grace, and God gives us the gift of pain to go through areas in life where we grow closer to him. So to me its saying, I hope that giving up on God's grace was worth the pain you endured, and lost the battle with.
Best reaction channel on youtube! I again, recommend "Deathgrip" by Fit for a king
Wow. Thank you!
As a survivor of multiple suicide attempts. This song reminds me that perhaps God decided it wasnt the way Im supposed to go, that I have more purpose to live. ❤
Big same
Amen brothers.
Even tho I’m not a very religious person, I highly enjoyed watching your all’s reaction and discussing the song afterwards! I love this! Earned a subscriber!
Thank you for the sub and the encouragement!
I got major goosebumps and I never get goosebumps from music
This is a special song, I've never even heard of this band but this song moved me to tears, I can't wait to check out their discography and whatever they create in the future
i haven't cried to a song in quite some time, this was refreshing
I lost my brother to suicide so this song hit me like a bag of bricks and actually made me cry especially the audio recording.
Same dude. My brother killed himself may 2012 when he got home from his fifth tour to Afghanistan. This hit me so hard bc i was the last person who talked to him. I tried to save him, i was just too far away and was too late before i got ahold of his superiors.
"I hope the price of grace was worth the gift of pain."
Reminds me of Relient K's Be My Escape.
"The beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair."
Was really hoping you guys would do this one!! Really love where Convictions is going with the metalcore scene. Listened to it at least two dozen times the day it came out 😂
I think I’ve listened to it a dozen times since filming.
I took the chorus as he sacrificed his eternal life, to get rid of the pain he was going through. Pain is a gift to teach lessons to make us stronger. God gives us a way to tell our story to help others. That’s the gift of pain. But he sacrificed his “grace” or entry into heaven, to rid himself of the pain that could be used as a gift to spread the glory of god.
I think I understand it this way because it’s something I’ve dealt with personally. Instead of taking my own life, I’ve stayed for fear of not having eternal life, and pain left behind to those I love. So instead I went into years of “survival mode”. Living simply to make it to the end, not to truly live.
I hope you're still doing well brother, I know this is an old comment but just like in the song you DESERVE to survive AND LIVE. People love and care for you and hope things are looking up for you.
Yes! One of their best songs so far. Love those guys, had the privilege of seeing them in August 2019 before Covid, absolutely great guys on and off the stage.
Apparently there are gonna be even heavier songs on the album too, I am super stoked for it, these guys never miss.
I can’t imagine something heavier than this?! Can’t wait.
I love the direction Josh went with the guitars. Getting out of his comfort zone and trying some new sounds with this album. He mentioned he wanted try something new and they did it so well.
This song hits all the feels! I'm glad you did this one. Tough subject matter, but it needs to be talked about. Such a good song!
This video just sold me on this band, I'm definitely getting their vinyl.
I believe the chorus "I hope the price of grace was worth the gift of pain" used the word grace meaning the person commiting suicide escaping their earthly suffering and being freed of them. They escaped it at the price of giving all the people survived by them the "gift of pain". Having been through this, it makes perfect sense to me. The truest thing I have ever heard said about suicide is that it does not end the pain, it passes it on. I think anyone who has been through it understands the profound truth of that statement.
My Father took his life and this pretty much sums up how I feel.. End of the day it was his choice a permeant solution to a problem that wouldn't have been forever and possible to move on from. Now leaves a scar on me forever.
Lamb of God - Laid to Rest, Break You, Ruin
The guilt is the hardest part of losing someone this way. You see all the signs in hindsight.
Great musically, amazing lyrically. This track is a certified banger.
Got to see these guys live with Confessions of a Traitor and Cultist at Chain Reaction in Anaheim last week and they were awesome!
this song helps me to rethink my thoughts..
Had the same confusion feeling when reading that phrase! Thanks for sharing your point of view!
I’ve been watching you guys since you started and I love you both. Not only do you expose me and others to some awesome Christian metal, you’re fighting behind enemy lines. I know you’re reaching some people, so keep it up!
This is the first song I heard by Convictions a few weeks back & it made me tear up right after the voicemail part, as you said, that one really hit home. After hearing this song, I went down a rabbit hole of their music & now they're one of my favorite bands. Awesome review!
All for you - Our lady peace
With the most respect... What did I just listen to?! Amazingly chaotic.
🙏🙏
@@roberthoughton7127 La Dispute - I See Everything
The song made me cry, I lost one of my cousins to suicide in the fall of 2017. It made my last semester of university extremely difficult and this song reminds of the loss.
It's been awhile since i was that amazed by a song tbh. Just the insane chaos adds to the theme so well
You should react to “how great thou art” by becoming the archetype
This was one of the first metal songs that I heard lol
@@oldmanplays7677 yea its so niceee
I want this reaction more than any other.
Great song!
Have you guys done Corpus Christi by Diamonds to Dust? If not, you need too!
Favorite song of 2021 so far! Going through depression myself. Thanks for all you do guys!
Oh my GOODNESS! That was such a POWERFUL song! Got the Goosebumps for sure. Adding this to my playlist immediately!
Wow. Brought me to tears about a minute in.
Love that you're still doing this! Hope you and yours are well!
I love this song so much. It brings tears to my eyes everytime.
Holy cow. That was heavy. Great song.
Wow great song ! Love your reaction chanel Pastor Rob 👍👍👍👍👍
I never really recommend songs, but I have to this time. Luna by Invent, Animate has some very similar subject matter. It hit me really hard the first time I heard it. Invent, Animate should be right in your guy's wheelhouse too!
I agree with your comment so much. Luna is an amazing song and hits your heart so damn much.
Invent animate is such a unique band
I would check out “Amber” by Stick to Your Guns as well
Wow. What a song.
I love this style of music. Raw, real & hard. The song takes no prisoners. It lays out the truth & nothing but the truth. I know during these times it is hard not to imagine just ending it now. Why go through the trouble of the struggles & pains.....??? It was a very good share.
as someone who deals with depression every day, it's hard to care about anything. and sometimes suicide just seems like the best answer as long as you don't have to deal with the constant pain. All I can say is keep fighting.
Same, theres days I wake up and the very first thought is I cant take this. The constant day by day repetition coupled with people who are consistently negative making my daily life more difficult than it should be. It feels like I'm in quicksand and no matter how I try to get out of the depression it keeps swallowing me whole. I agree, it's worth fighting because tommorow can be a different day.
@@7James77 keep fighting brother
@@synaptik24 You too, bro!
Pastor Rob. We disagree theologically but I see your heart. Keep doing this work. You’re definitely creating a space here.
I don’t know how you managed to sit so still during this! 😂😂😂 this song is as visceral as it’s subject matter. Good grief, I love this song. Rob, your reaction here was fantastic. Huge fan of your channel! Your assessment of the track was phenomenal.
i heard a quote once that said suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem ill never forget that
Hey Pastor, thank you for reacting to this! I know there are a lot of people who need to hear this song or atleast listen to the message behind it. I'm so glad I subscribed
I agree Rob, it is a selfish act. I was 6 and walked into my parents' bedroom and found my mother lying on the ground with a gun in her hand. At 32, I'm not sad about it, she decided that we were not good enough, even though there is always hope. Love this channel, kee it up!
That was a ride for sure! I wasn't sure what to expect still don't know how to wrap my head around all those sounds lol
Same here.
Wow JUST Wow
Honestly the best video you guys have. Pastor Rob. I appreciate your understanding of mental health and being a Christian. I take medicine for my ADHD but still believe in God. I feel like a lot of people in the church would judge but me but I don't get that from you guys. You guys are real and honest and loving. Greatly appreciate this channel
Powerful song!!! Thanks for the reaction!
This is my favourite song right now, and has been for a few weeks now. I've all but denounced religion, but I still have a very healthy respect for those that it helps.
You've been a favourite channel of mine for a long time and I love showing my friends your videos.
I honestly thought metalcore like this was long-dead. Wow!
I would love to see your response to "I Am" by POD. It is an amazing, powerful song, and is definitely one of the most controversial songs ever released by a "Christian band".
Thank you for sharing that reaction! The song is beautiful, heavy, deep and very very creative. The chorus reminded me a bit of Architects and I really love it!
Me and close friends lost a friend of ours also to suicide. The moment it happened we were abroad together to realize that back at home a friend committed a suicide. Was a wrecking experience. Songs like these help to cope with hard experiences and that's why I so love metal especially where God is involved in it.
Sorry for your loss. I’m grateful music like this exists to help people cope.
Thank you so much for doing this song been a follower of convictions for years now and this song is so hard hitting and deeply beautiful and sad
Thank You for sharing this video SO POWERFUL!!!!!
Thanks guys! Great song. Chills all the way. Got me.
The audio recording killed me 😭 such an emotional song
I'm not into metal at all. But this song got me crying
10/10
Niiice!
A new song by Brand of Sacrifice called Altered Eyes came out at midnight and has an official video!
My interpretation of "I hope the price of grace, was worth the gift of pain" is similar to how you guys talked about it at 12:55. I think they mean that the grace is heaven/relief from his own pain and the price is his life while the gift of pain is the pain felt by family and friends.
I think the line i hope the price of grace was worth the gift of pain means he hopes that the relief of depression and overall life was worth the gift of the pain that was left in their hearts, i think that because right before this song came out one of my good buddies from the marines took his life and i understood this song perfectly
Dispirit by World Divided!!
Hey pastor Rob.
I'm not a man of faith, but I am a man of respect and your videos I hugely respect. Your thoughts, opinions and conversations are fascinating to me. As often I am, I'm late to the party when it comes to an artist by the name of Devin Townsend who has a group called the Devin Townsend Project. Devon is quite open about his struggles with mental health and this one of his songs resonates with me (although previously mentioned no affiliation to religion, this song does cover slight religious themes) the song in question is called kingdom and although the record version is beautiful in its own right. I highly recommend the EMG live version. I believe you'll get a kick out of his performance and your son will appreciate his humor regarding his guitar skill.
Still need to check out Oh Sleeper. Fissure, Children Of Fire, Hush Yael
Wow, love it, easy to understand.
Yes! I’m so glad you did this!!! I was going to tag you in it today
I would LOVE to see your reaction to "BLOODMONEY" by Poppy.!!!
This hit me hard. I lost my best friend, not to suicide but to health. This brought him to my thoughts.
Thank you for reacting. ❤️
Highly recommend Convictions’ new song LThe War That Followed Me Home”
Insane breakdowns in that one just like “The Price of Grace”
I checked out the video by itself and really appreciate the city shots being from Hong Kong. Great song! Lost a brother (in Christ) to suicide while I was living in Japan. I (and I'm sure many others) still ask why. Living in Japan and having some other friends living in Hong Kong where suicide is high in both counties, especially in Japan, the song along with the visuals hit it hard. Much Love Convictions!
I think the grace is the end to his mortal suffering and the cost was the gift of pain to his loved ones
"Behold the Crown" or "Lost in the Static" by After the Burial (either will blow Pastor Rob’s mind) and "Deceiver" or "Out if Control" by The Ghost Inside
Really wanting you guys to dig into If I Were You.
There songs Faithless, and Never There.
Would really love to hear you guys discuss and hear there amazing talent.
Man I really appreciate your channel and the insight you provide. There are a couple songs by Tool(Prison Sex) and Nine Inch Nails(Closer) which have lyrics that are about the cycle of child abuse and sex addiction respectively. As someone who has been a Christian their whole life but has also struggled massively with sex addiction, I still am able to relate to a lot of the lyrics in both songs. I would be very interested listen to your Christian perspective on it. God bless your wife and your family
Convictions is real dang good. You guys gotta react to cultist war with god is a definite must
I feel like they where refering to peace when saying price of grace, like to be gracefully resting not having to suffer anymore with they were going through and obviously the gift of pain is the aftermath of the action the person took to be at peace.
This one hit me hard....Thank you so much for reviewing this song. I lost my brother-in-law to suicide 4 years ago.
I love this song
Thank you so much for reacting to this. It sounds strange but I feel the spirit all over this song, and the day I gave my life, God spoke to me through "come as you are" by nirvana (please react to it), it's interesting that God chooses to reveal himself to me through secular songs, in a biblical lense, and this song reduced me to tears. I have been in a dark place for a while now, but the main bit of this song that has brought me back to the surface was "you promised we would grow old together", and that's what I promised my wife, while I know I need to speak to someone, she often just reacts angrily to emotion, and as I say this I know that the only one who I can speak to, and always speaks to me in an uplifting manner, is our Lord.
Not religious by any means dur to some family issues within that specific area but i genuinly enjoy these videos Pastor Rob
Love this channel! Would love to see a reaction to a Power Trip song such as Soul Sacrifice, Crucifixation, or Executioner’s Tax
This reminds a little bit of Emmure, but wayyyyy better.
Hatebreed - Horrors Of Self I think watching you guys react to this would be wild and a learning experience.
Love to see some Disciple, Memphis May Fire, or more Wage War. Love to see more Christian Rock/Metalcore
I don’t know if you guys know all the like terms and metal but what it is called that came after the voicemail part was a breakdown when it drops like that at any moment in the song anytime it drops like that or tempo drops it’s considered a breakdown
Great reaction! Amazing new song thank you!
Recommendation: To tell you the truth by Written by wolves
When I was 19 my family went out to a friend's house I told them I wasn't feeling well and I wanted to not go. The 30 minutes after them leaving I erratically went around to house looking for what was going to get me. I put a rope around my neck and hung for a little. I put a shotgun in my mouth but decided that I didn't want that mess for them to find. I eventually decided I was going to down a bottle of tylonal and a handle of bourbon and go to sleep. I ended up going into respitory failure on the living room floor and my parents and my little brother got to come in and see that. The audio recording got me hard. I've learned to deal with my inner negativity with this world but I regret everyday having to out him through that. I'm glad, even though some days are harder than others, to have survived and see him grow and find where he is today even if I'm not where I want to be I'm glad I can be around give him advice and help him with his struggles. I appreciate yiu introducing me to this song Rob.
You guys should react to Standing In The Storm by August Burns Red! Love what you guys do! 🤘🏻
Love your videos guys, keep doing what youre doing! You should really do a reaction to the music video for Oblivion by Fit For a King. Its an amazing song, but the music video makes the song even more powerful, I personally get emotional almost every time I watch it.
