Re: Christian Review of Overcome
Stapp also repeats the profane phrase, "I’ll be d‑‑ned," which, apart from the angst-filled narrative, is the main content concern on this song.
Now that's hilarious! |

Re: Christian Review of Overcome
I read the official lyrics today, and the words are actually "I'll be damned fighting you." Lol. I feel like an idiot. But either way, "I'll be damned fighting you" isn't a profane phrase in any way. The word is used in it's literal form. But I apologize to everyone for starting this thread that ended up generating a ridiculous amount of replies.

Re: Christian Review of Overcome
Can Creed release just one album without having to rehash this ridiculous and pointless argument?! I mean, really, who gives a crap?
And yes, I am a Christian. I see nothing that the article says that will deter anyone from buying the album. Everything in it is true, and nothing that Creed fans didnt already know.

Re: Christian Review of Overcome
alright chris i needed to have a spech prepared for this one i agree it does keep it going and keeps other christians and skeptics going creed music is foucused on more deeper turmoils and trials than the average christan may not be going through or yet to come but regardless left a wide opening in their music that can get people going through struggles or thinking diffrently about other things that cant really be touched creed has a way of doing that you reach that point The Bridge Elton John That You Make Music Thats All About The Music Your Making Thats Creed Which Is Strong In Full Circle Rock On Chris

Re: Christian Review of Overcome
Hmmm, well, whoever maintains passionbreedsfollowers.com was incorrect with the lyrics - they had "dammed". I used this website to support my argument when I sent pluggedin.com an email. Looks like I'll be correcting my argument with them. I agree that it's being used in the "literal form", not it's profane form. I also agree that it's not that big of a deal. But this thread was started to discuss it, after all. And another thread was addressing the issue of Walmart censoring albums with profanity. |

Re: Christian Review of Overcome
To me one of the things that have always separated Creed from most other bands is that they have class. They can make music that's great, and they don't have to curse every other word to do it. And I do listen to music that has profanity in it, but it's just that Creed has always seemed like they were above that. And yes I know they're not an actual Christian band. But the person who wrote this article made it sound like Creed is just like any other band that uses profanity in their lyrics. And the fact is that "What's this Life For" is the only song that Creed has ever cursed in. The word "damned" in Overcome is used in it's literal form. I just want Creed to be viewed as the classy band that they are. |

Re: Christian Review of Overcome
I think we can all agree that the review was harsh, Christian or not. I think any Christian fan, as I do, knows Creed well enough to know that there is absolutely nothing wrong with listening to their music. And I definitely know that the non-Christains feel the review was harsh lol. So see, we kinda all agree on one point
