"Emo" has so quickly become the trendy new music
catchphrase for the recent influx of rock resurgence that
it has nearly lost its entire significance as the emotional
filled rock it originated from. So many bands have been
quick to claim the title, yet hold it with little or no
passion. Enter Emery. Not only are they recapturing the
definitive meaning of the genre by abounding deep emotion
between their intense variance in dynamics and layered
vocal beauty, but their feelings are backed by passionate
beliefs in love, faith, and hope, making their emotions not
only compelling, but full of genuine sentiment as well. And
"genuine" is a prime adjective that comes to mind upon
meeting the six gracious, southern-bred boys that comprise

------ About the song Walls performed by Emery
Emery is a Christian band. 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.

Goddamn. No joke. This song, is the story of my life. I let go of the most amazing guy in the universe, because i was young and thought i needed to see what else was out there, but in the end he was the only thing that made me happy, ever. He would be singing this song. He has been living this song as a matter of fact, and ive finally realized i need and want him more than anything in this world. He waited for me. I am far too lucky.

------ About the song Walls performed by Emery
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.

------ About the song The Ponytail Parades performed by Emery
This song means so much to me, but I have to admit that listening to it is painful. Not because I gave up a great guy, but because I'm on the other end. I'm the one who can't sleep, I'm the one who would've waited forever but never got asked to. I sound like some whinny little brat who got dumped, and in truth, I might be, but he was my world. And he took the world away. I was in love with him for 3 years and he never cared, but then out of nowhere one day he kissed me. We were in a relationship for a while and he made all these promises, but now I see that it was just a game to him. He really wanted someone better. Not that it's hard to find... So now I'm trying to move on, but it just doesn't feel right without him. I have to see him a lot and he acts like nothing ever happened, but I don't know if we can ever be friends like we were again. And it's my fault because I just can't move on.
Just remember that what might be an empowering song for someone, might be crippling for another.
My best friend died...he was shot 6 times and i held him as he bled to death and watched him die helpless...the ambulance was to late for him. and for those ppl who r gonna get pissy, no im not trying to "out do" everyone elses losses...i just miss him and idky but sometimes it feels better to talk to a complete starnger about i tthan someone that knew him....if someone can explain that please do...he was 17, like..my big brother he was always there and he sang me to sleep when i had no one @ the ages of 6+...i was 14 when he died...i am 15..he died last year sept 2...RIP ( PS. do not rep bloodz and kryps..you dont know what somebody else is losing) ♥

------ About the song The Ponytail Parades performed by Emery
It's perfect. If we lived in a perfect world, then maybe when we found that one person that completes us, we would hang on for all we have, and never let go. But we're all a bunch of morons. The grass is always greener on the other side. I had everything once with the most amazing guy I've ever met. And I just gave it up, because I was young and stupid and thought I wanted something else. I know he would have waited for me forever if I had asked him to. But I didn't. I told him to move on. And now, now that I realize that what I wanted all along was him and he was right in front of me, I just couldn't see it, he wants little to do with me. We kept up a friendship.. but it was like the phone lines thing. We've been on two opposite ends for so long and I took him for granted. Now he's moved on and I'm the one missing out. Love is the most powerful thing in the world. It can make you so strong, or it can literally break you into pieces.

------ About the song As Your Voice Fades performed by Emery
This song is helping me through a tough and difficult time. It helped to express an emotion that ive never knew or felt. that emotion comes when someone you love or hold close to passes unexpectedly may it be from an illness, accdent, homicide, or suicide. thanks to these lyrics ive got trhough it. Thank you emery for being the voice that balanced my soul.
Does it really make a difference whether or not they're labeled as a "Christian band" or simply a screamo band with Christian members?
Their music is great either way, and their lyrics can reach out to people of all religions and walks of life.
Music is a form of art, and it can be perceived in endless different ways.

------ About the song Disguising Mistakes With Goodbyes performed by Emery
I did some reading on the band (which happens to be my all time favorite band!) and the guys are christian but the band does not label themselves as christian. Not all of their songs have a christian view but are more about real life and raw feelings. some of theirs songs you can actually dig out the christian meaning. Look up their biography. I found it on wikipedia and random searching on google. they are all the same.
None the less, an amazing band!

------ About the song The Ponytail Parades performed by Emery
this song really speaks. its kinda like, after my break up, it made me face my fears and get over him. cuz he's over me. and the harmony is AH-MAZING and when they sing two things at the same time it send chills up my spine. wow. good song guys.
I am a Christian, but i agree and disagree with several things that have been said. For one, Emery actually ISN'T a "Christian band," they're just a really great band whose members are Christians. And naturally, their beliefs come out in their music. HOWEVER, just because a Christian paints a picture of an apple, that picture is not a Christian painting.
Also, as a side note, Tooth and Nail Records isn't really a Christian label either, for the same reasons.
And to Ray and others... The song is most definitely about Christians. It's a challenge to us to stop being so judgmental and love people like we're supposed to. It pretty much tells us that we need to stop being a bunch of self-righteous pricks and realize that we're no better than anyone else, and that what we have was GIVEN, not earned, and SURELY not deserved, and we should give that unconditional love to others. Not "words said desperately."
And to Ray specifically: My faith has been challenged more times than I can count with strands of hair on my head--many of these times by MYSELF. And yet through it all I haven't "dump[ed] [my] lil 'religion' to the side like trash." Although this is through no strength of my own, I think you must've (like me, actually) had some bad experience with "christians." lol
if you wanna email me, put EMERY as the subject so i don't delete it.

how i adore this song.
it reminds of me this guy, who was my best friend for the past 15years. i've always loved him and one day, i told him. he said he felt the same and everything was good. then the next day he took it all back and went back to his girlfriend and then he decided to end our 15year friendship. we haven't spoken in 5 months.

I'm a girl and I can't even begin to explain how much I can relate to this song. The relationship not working out is my fault because I thought I wanted different. Now that I realize I don't, he's already moved on. Love bites, and not in the good way.

------ About the song As Your Voice Fades performed by Emery
I didn't really feel like this song was totally profound I just loved the way it hits home for me and many others. My little brother just died-he was only 14 and I miss him everyday. It seems emery can relate to people on every level through any of their gifted music
The first time I heard this song I was in the middle of class listening to my friend's iPod and it related so much to me at that time, I had just lost my best friend Danee to a collapsed lung. And I started crying in the middle of class. And it was so perfect. I rarely cry and I hadn't yet mourned my friends death because I was trying to be such a strong person. But this song brought out everything I felt towards him. I'm forever thankful for this song and the memories it leaves with me.
It is sad that yes this band is Christian and the song is amazing and what they are saying in it BUT also that the music is enjoyed mostly for the sound and not the lyrics, that's the main part! The lyrics say exactly what they are trying to also portray with instruments, either struggle, anger, pain, joy, realization, mistakes, love... life. I'm not saying that's what the atheists only hear! Please don't get me wrong, I know even some or more atheists have morals and ones that even resemble ones of Christians. Bless you those you walk in faith and knowing Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Best friend, that's exactly where He wants to be close to you, everyone of you! And bless you the ones that do not believe in Him, He still loves you and as Christians (those who realize we should reflect Jesus) we love you to! Those whom are lost, hurt, angry, wanting, struggling, addicted, abandoned, taken advantage of, feel unloved (ect.) Jesus is unfailing and perfect love. He is the friend that will never leave you behind EVER! Blessing upon all of you. Hugs, High fives and Hardcore dancing! Check out Underoath, Demon Hunter, As I Lay Dying, Killswitch Engage, Red, Stereotrap, Norma Jean... oh how I could go on to awesome Christian Metal/punk/screamo... awesomeness! And those who are into the whole dance music you gotta check out Family Force Five
Love, Peace and Chicken Grease... give me a shout for any kind of prayer or even encouraging words, love to throw those out there cause I can't stop talking and loving "HUMANIODS"! (yeah Invader Zim, check that out too) same name I use up at the top of this message, @yahoo.com and no I didn't conform to Facebook! :)
Okay I want to point out the fact that emery is a Christian band with a Christian lable! So ha all of u that think that emery is not Christian. I also would like to voice my opinion on the song. I believe that emery rights about how every one has issues and that under gods mighty power we are all saved and "we are all the same" "it's not our job to make anyone believe" I think these two lines sum up the statment they are making in this song by cindersicting what truth is saying when god created mad to save others and be disiples of Christ please let me know how you feel in an email or on this wall buy this is only my opinion...
So, you're telling me that if you ask a Christian what music they listen to, they won't tell you that they listen to Emery?
I am Christian.
Emery is in my top 5 favorite bands.
Just because they don't outright mention God doesn't mean they do not talk about Him.
