"You Found Me is a tough song for me. Its about the disappointment, the heart ache, the let down that comes with life. Sometimes you're let down, sometimes you're the one who lets someone else down. It gets hard to know who you can trust, who you can count on. This song came out of a tough time, and I'm still right in the thick of it. There's some difficult circumstances my family and friends have been going through over the past year or so and can be overwhelming. It wears on me. It demands so much of my faith to keep believing, keep hoping in the unseen. Sometimes the tunnel has a light at the end, but usually they just look black as night. This song is about that feeling, and the hope that I still have, buried deep in my chest."
The song is truly amazing. I myself have been battling my own problems small and large among family, friends, school, work, personal, everything. Caring about everyone around me and trying to put smiles on faces and make people happy during the hardest of times. But when you can't do it, it begins to eat at you, and others problems become your own demons. Eventually hitting rock bottom. And even today I struggle with my demons every other day. And while I am not religious, nor do I believe in God, I continue to believe there might be a higher power that will help those I love with their problems.
I think this song takes everything about life into account while placing God into it as well. But the song does something rarely what other musicians attempt to do, it shows the emotional range and true insecurities which we all have but rarely reveal.
Can't wait to see them live, definitely some of the greatest musicians, and certainly great people among a world so messed up as ours.
To blame god for what the world's become is ridiculous,he gave us a choice,he gave us freedom,and what we chose to do with it,wasn't his fault.People die,people lie,people kill and steal.Did god tell them to do so,did he command them to do so?No.He gave them freedom,he gave them love.Christ not only died for the sins we've done,but he was crucified,for the sins we did make,the ones we are making,and the ones we will make in the future.We are not perfect.We are not obligated by god to belive in him.Times are hard,but when worry sets in,i suggest you go to the...
