Well more like a band made up of Christian members. Look what they said in an interview with Hardcorechristian.com "I know for a while it was a big fad to like have a lot of Christian bands we're just Christian guys in a band so I mean first and foremost we’re Christians above anything else ... obviously ... the band is going to come and go and it will be over one day and that’s just the way it goes. It’s just like any other occupation. We are Christians first and foremost and therefore it has to impact what we do everyday as our job and in our lives so I mean… everyday we’ve got tons of Christian fans that their like, "Hey you guys are the best Christian band blah blah blah or one of the best or whatever," and that is fine, but we gave up on trying to draw that line because it’s pretty much you have to get out of the stigma of being labeled a Christian band where non-Christian people will listen to you because if you play in only Christian venues or you play with all Christian bands all the time you’re kind of shooting yourself in the foot for as far as having a career goes and even as ministry speaking ... ...I mean there is a place for that. There are bands out there like worship bands and stuff that are great at that and I think they are called to do that but we definitely are not called to do that. We tried it, we played in churches before and we have played with a lot of Christian bands several times and we felt really really out of place, we kind of felt like, it was almost like God was saying this isn’t what you guys are supposed to be doing. Not that it was anything bad or anything like that but we just didn’t have that spirit of fulfillment that we feel like we do have now because we relate so much better to people, to crowds like this than we do youth group crowds." Dont say they ARENT Christian, because THEY ARE. And THEY said it. A comment for brice on pg 1 | Reviewer: Josh | 7/21/09 Brice said "But to restrict yourself to the views of another is ludicrous. THINK FOR YOURSELF. Go to school" At school you read books written by other people in all your classes. The school or teacher decides the curriculum for the classes depending on what they want you to know. Are there liberal schools... Yes. Do they turn out predominately liberal Graduates... Yes. Why? They select curriculum for their students written by people with liberal views. The education system is a powerful entity with an agenda. I know you think for yourself Brice. Bottom line. Everyone thinks for themselves. Furthermore, A true Christian must personally CHOOSE Christ. A true atheist must personally CHOOSE atheism. There must be a thought process leading to a revelation or discovery of truth whether the church is pushing Christ or the school is pushing atheism. Brice, you need to be unbiased if you want to see clearly. christian band | Reviewer: unknown | 7/21/08 i love this band.. im like addicted to them now..lol..and yea emery is a christian band.. it might not seem like it..but they got those good hidden messages in their songs that make pple think.. keep goin strong!! Response to several reviews | Reviewer: Katie | 7/19/08 First of all, I would like to say that Emery is an amazing band of talented, Christian guys (not a Christian band), and I totally respect them for what they do. Second, in response to Brice about the afterlife, you may be right. Everyone will die and it will be eternal unconsciousness,and you should try to live a good life and help others. I guess we'll never know then. But what if you're wrong, and there is more to life? What if God, and heaven, and hell do exist? What will you do then? I'm not trying to turn things around and shove them in your face, but I believe in Jesus and that heaven and hell are very real places. So for someone who believes in a place like hell, wouldn't it make sense to try and keep others from spending an eternity there? To make my next point, the members of Emery may not always weave a "Christian message" or connotation to their lyrics, but their faith and beliefs probably have a strong influence on the music that they write. As for Christians cussing, it says in the Bible, which should be the basis for Christian living, that you shouldn't let any unwholesome words come out of your mouth, or anything that is harmful to others. I don't remember the exact reference at the moment, but if you look it up you'll find it. Yes, the English language did not exist during Jesus' time, but that doesn't change a thing. Using God's name in vain, or using a word with angry intentions is wrong no matter what. Again, I am not forcing my beliefs on anyone. However, I take my faith seriously, and am willing to talk with anyone about anything. You are f-tards. | Reviewer: brice | 7/8/08 So listen up f-tards... Do none of you understand the point of music and entertainment?? If a song was made to have a certain meaning a) the meaning would stated plainly in the song. or b) the cd would come with a booklet defining the meaning of the songs on an album. When a band makes a song, they make it for the listener and the listener's interest. It is then your job to listen and make your own meaning. When you try to say that one song only has one meaning, you are being ridiculous. Any sentence can be interpreted with any number of meanings, depending on the listener's experiences. Emery is not a christian band. Don't say that they are, because even they say they are not. Listen to a song, interpret it for yourself and use that interpretation accordingly. If you can't interpret, feel sorry for yourself that you are so out of touch with life that you can't even read something and interpret it. That's the problem with the world, everyone needs to be told what to do and how to do it. And that is why you are a christian in the first place. You were told as a child that god is great (but how can something non-existant be great? lol). You were told ridiculous stories made up by priests, and told to believe them or else, so you did. Life is strictly what you see. You live, you die, the end. Get over it. Live a fulfilling life, help humanity as much as you can, and you will be happy. But to restrict yourself to the views of another is ludicrous. THINK FOR YOURSELF. Go to school. Stop listening to what the media tells you. The only thing you can do in life is live. There is no great afterlife. You only have life. And most of you are wasting it. Once it's gone, it never comes back. Think about it. Matter fact, just think. And ps. A christian can cuss. There's no such thing as a cuss word. Only words that are less acceptable to the people that control you. If god does exist. I think he would have better things to worry about then the illicit words you use. lol. Grow up. Amazing song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/2/08 being a christian does not mean you cant cus, all cus words can be replaced. BTW: this is the best song emery has ever done, but Disguising Mistakes, and Studying Politics are really close. me and my my friends are gonna cover Walls. Review | Reviewer: alyssa | 5/22/08 I do think that this song does have some christian meaning. The whole song doesn't seem to have God as the main focus but there could be some underlying lines like "Sometimes it gets so hard to breathe. Your eyes see right through me." I think that this line has to do with no one really being able to understand him or figure out what he's dealing with and God is the only one who can see past the walls that he builds up. To the staircase where you hold my heart This line for me seems to be about Heaven being the staircase where God holds his heart. This is just me and what i think. Still a good song and powerful lyrics just like their other songs. yeah!!.. | Reviewer: Nathan | 5/20/08 So all i gotta say is that EMERY IS FREAKING AMAZING!!! and all u guys should quit trying to tell other people whats right and wrong through another bands song..after all thats what emery talks about in there song Listening to Freddie Mercury..go check it out.. Later History | Reviewer: Leah | 5/17/08 If walls could talk, they would learn to scream. If walls could scream, they would learn how to preform this song. This is Emery. Emery gave birth to the best song to grace the music industry a few years back, and the child's name is Walls. Preformed to end their shows, it makes listening to them all the better. Nothing by anyone could ever become in arms reach of how great this song is. dustin | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/7/08 i find it ridiculous to say you arent supposed to curse if you're a christian, thats inhibiting being human and besides english wasnt existant during jesus' time so neither were b*tch or F*ck etc. they are words with implied meaning to stress the point. They made the best choice not to only play christian venues the point of america as the world is to bring people together i love french rap and thrice( dustin kensrue is extremely christian) and many different things i am a well rounded person but im also agnostic and im comfortable with that. this song is very powerful whatever the meaning you get out of it. i feel worship should only be confined but i mean i feel a band shouldn't label themselves christian if they expect to reach a wide audience Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4
