      He truly was an amazing guy. After my mother passed in 05 I found this band and their music. They always played shows in my hometown. I went to a show that following year and broke down in the crowd. Kyle stopped the show pulled me to the side and talked to me like a real human. And ever since then when they came to town we always got together and talked about life.

    They are so powerful and lyrics are so deep, that it can relate to many lives today.
    And actually save people.
    Hell I know it did for me, considering battling depression for over 4 years. (:

    I love this band. Though to settle the argument, they said "just because we sing about positive things we are not a Christian Metalcore band, though we do have Christians and non Christians. It is up to everyone to determine the meaning and that's the amazing part". That's not an exact quote but you can look it up on here.

    All the lights,
    Were too bright to see the spark
    That I've been missing for too long.
    Something I've been missing for too long.
    My empty cup,
    Could never fill another.
    I have spilled all I've had,
    To make things better.
    But the love of all others,
    Has made me new.
    My empty cup,
    Could never (because of you) fill another.
    (I am made new) I have spilled all I've had,
    (Because of you) to make things better. (I am made new)
    We've all been broken
    So let us make each other new.
    So let us make each other new.
    I've died inside every time I tried
    To lie to myself about feeling alive, alive.
    To lie to myself about feeling alive, alive.
    (I've died)
    All the lights,
    Were too bright to see the spark
    That I've been missing for too long.
    Something I've been missing for too long.
    All these distractions,
    Kept me from seeing what I needed all along,
    An understanding.
    I am speechless tonight
    As I stare into the sky.
    I feel endless compassion, forgiveness, and love,
    I feel everyone who is looking up sharing this,
    I feel unexplainably alive.
    I need to understand what we've grown to be.
    Tonight, when I look into the sky
    I know this is why I am alive.
    Tonight, when I look into the sky
    I know this is why I am alive.
    So sing with me if you feel this feeling.
    So sing with me if you feel this feeling.
    I'm alive.

    I used to play an online game called S4 League. I watched all kind of S4 League Montages on UA-cam in 2011-2012. Somebody used this song in one of those videos and it’s been in my music Library ever since. I decided today to look up this song on UA-cam because I really wanted to see the face to the voice I've been listening to for the last ten years. Turns out that he passed away and I'm heartbroken.. Long live

    I found this description of these videos that was apparently shared by WCAR (when they first came out i guess). I always felt like these three songs told a progressive story and I felt they were cleverly arranged in the album to show that progression.
    "The three videos we shot portray a person lost, confused and struggling to find purpose in life. He sees himself at his darkest in the first video, trying endlessly to find his way out. After going through a traumatic experience, he finds his way out and his eyes begin to open to a new journey of finding out what really makes him feel alive. Through this journey the man traces back to his childhood house, where it all began. Overwhelming feelings wash over him as he remembers the feeling he once had long ago. Now, with a sense of purpose, he embarks back into the world to take the path he should have taken long ago"

    Ever since I started listening to WCAR I've made better decisions and tried harder in school because their music showed me that I have a place in this world and I want to work harder at being that person. WCAR, you are legends and I will love your music til the end and beyond.
