Blindside is one Swedish rock band whose ship may have just arrived. At least in America, anyway. With two memorable indie releases under their belt, the scorching foursome have signed with Elektra in the U.S., and have been busily putting the finishing touches on their American debut – Silence - produced by Howard Benson (P.O.D.). Despite the title, Blindside’s much-anticipated disk is anything but silent. Marked by brilliant, flaring guitars that complement an almost mystical vocal presence, the group has carved out a rock masterpiece in a series of stunning, but simple strokes. The appeal of such immediacy was not lost on producer Benson. “I met them through P.O.D.,” says Howard. “They were blown away by how talented they were.” Sonny, of P.O.D., indeed heaps a More...

Good Song, Not best | Reviewer: Jimmy ------ About the song About A Burning Fire performed by Blindside I prefer their early works. A Christian band, it'd be easy to figure out what these lyrics mean. The forgetful nature of mankind. "Love is destructive for the ego. And Your voice is the only thing that speaks rebelliously in this world of claiming your own.

Yamkela, the meaning of the song | Reviewer: Ephraim ------ About the song Yamkela performed by Blindside The vocalist of Blindside went on a missions trip to Africa, of which he encountered a boy, named Yamkela. This boy was stricken with AIDS, the deadly immunodeficiency virus. The boy was told he would live no longer than 2 months. (two months tops, before silence replaces your small beating drum) Christian (vocalist of Blindside) knew the boy as a friend, and after he left to return to America, the boy died. Later, Christian wrote Yamkela, the song as a tribute to the boy he met on his missions trip. "Wasted, disposable dying scum... ...isn't that what we're waiting for, so we can go on and celebrate good life," This section of the lyrics from Yamkela state that the wealthy and fortunate parts of the world see people like the boy Yamkela as just wasted and worthless. "so we can go on and celebrate good life," This section states that we are careless for those in these kinds of places, facing disease and famine, homelessness and misery. We simply enjoy our good life, and most of us do nothing about what others are facing. "...but I feel, gun powder, burning under my skin don't say another word, you might set off a spark," This section of the lyrics, starting with "but I feel, gun powder, burning under my skin," means that Christian feels the pain and misery that the boy Yamkela was experiencing, and felt sympathy for him, which is why he, I am assuming, led the boy to loving the Lord. I am also assuming that Christian asked what being stricken with AIDS feels like, and Yamkela responded with, 'gun powder, burning under my skin.' I am also assuming that "don't say another word, you might set off a spark," was from the risk from even speaking with people that Yamkela must have had, knowing he might catch a cold from them, and set off the spark of his disease. I am not sure what the rest of the song means, as in verse two, of which "take me back to TV land, numbness is a safe zone, never trained me for reality, I'm the reality TV clone," however I am attempting to deconstruct the song more to find its true meaning. Thanks for reading, and remember what kind of effect Blindside intended their music to have. Blindside's best | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song About A Burning Fire performed by Blindside this song will proboubly never die. Blindside has some CD's that are mostly secular.. or you cant tell its about God, but this one is streight from the passion of Christ. Its so hard core in that This IS who they are the passion and the drive.. it makes me want to change something ya know?.. maybe you dont.. Pitiful | Reviewer: Scott ------ About the song Pitiful performed by Blindside as I recall when my stomach turned and I was hiding away from myself away from you like nothing THOUGH something was terribly wrong and I admit that I was only waiting for the right time (NIGHT time) right moment for you to look away though you never did I pretended for a while so I could walk where I don't belong Amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song About A Burning Fire performed by Blindside This song is amazing ,it flows so well, and is written well as well....well blindside is awsome | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Blindside once i herd blindside, i was blown away. the sound of their music was amazing. overall i think they're the best band ever. on a rating to 1 to 10 they're a 10. this song is very purposeful in my eyes. | Reviewer: Chris Ercegovic ------ About the song Swallow performed by Blindside It is one thing to accept the truth of Jesus and God, for the demons also believe. To know the truth, and to live the truth are two very different things. And don't just think knowing the truth will get you very far. For a thirsty man may believe in water, but until he embraces it and drinks from it, he will surely die. blindside-silence | Reviewer: martin ------ About the song Silence performed by Blindside This song is emotionally in depth these guys put some hard work into this song i can connect to it but ohh man its a good song to listen to soft and gentle but very impactful Mighty Good Stuff, This | Reviewer: neonpredator777 ------ About the song Fell In Love With The Game performed by Blindside Blindside is one of the most amazing bands out there. they've certainly come a long way from their debut album. most people who have heard them will agree that their music is everything from energetic and wired to touching and deep. Fell in Love with the Game is one of my personal favs, along with When I Remember. everyone who hears there music has to feel for it in some way, some how. it means hundreds of things for hundreds of different people. You will like if you're a fan of Falling Up, Skillet, Or RED. It rocks duh! | Reviewer: Blindside fan forever ------ About artist/band Blindside Blindside is soooo cool they make me feel alive and the lyrics so deep...Matchs my mood somtimes ^_^ The Great Depression | Reviewer: Dave Esposito ------ About the song The Great Depression performed by Blindside Blindside is back with a new and refreshing style. There is a significant difference between this album and About a Burning Fire, Which isn’t a bad thing whatsoever. I think this album was an improvement, not because of the style change, but because of its over-the-top passion, energy, and creativity. This album is absolutely amazing. This album starts off with a dark intro in which Christian recites a couple lines about feeling lost and depressed that basically sum up the album. Then the intro fades into the techno-fueled, “This is a Heart Attack,” which is followed by the mellow yet powerful, “Ask Me Now.” "We’re All Going to Die,” is an also very powerful song about how people all over the world are dying at young ages for one reason or another. Christian’s vocals in this song are very touching and focus you in to the lyrics in a very emotional way. The song was partially inspired by a boy Christian met named Yamkela, which is the name of the next song on the album. “They never trained me for reality I’m a reality-TV clone” screams Christian in the track “Yamkela.” This song talks about the reality of what is happening in South Africa, and with the boy, Yamkela. This is probably the heaviest song on the album along with "We Are to Follow," and contains some of the most intense lyrics known to Blindside. Next, “Put Back the Stars”, in my opinion the most depressing song on the album, yet finds a way to show a bit of hope. This song deals with the struggle to find yourself and how depressing it is to be lost. The next half of the album continues with the release “Fell in Love with the Game.” This song is probably the catchiest song on the CD, but talks about the struggle to remember who you are, and how easy it is to get wrapped up in business instead of music itself. “City Lights” shows off Christian’s vocal range and heads in a different direction as far as lyrics go. “We Are to Follow” is a great addition to Blindside’s heavier songs, with its roaring guitar riffs and head throbbing screams. This is another great song to help Blindside get their message out about our society, and how it’s easy to get wrapped up in things such as media. “You Must Be Bleeding Under Your Eyelids,” another original song title that might make you curious of what to expect. It turns out this song is simply about the need to try to fit into a certain mold. The song “My Alibi,” is a great rhythmic ballad about hope, relationships, and God. The next song is almost a screaming battle between Christian and the former vocalist of the band Self Minded. They scream about, as Christian stated, “….the desire to make someone proud of you.” “This Time,” one of Blindside’s most mellow songs, talks about another man in South Africa named Sipho, who Christian visited. The last and most dramatic song on the album is “When I Remember,” a beautiful song about hope and not being forgotten ends the album perfectly. The music on this album is pretty much equal in quality to Blindside’s last two albums. There was definitely a different sound, not necessarily an improvement but is a solid addition to Blindside’s previous musical efforts. Lyrically this album is also a bit different, it’s more personal and there is more to think about after listening to them. The lyrics are probably the best since A Thought Crushed My Mind. Christian's singing has reached a new level of range but in all, sounds just as good as his vocals on the last two albums. The thing i love about is they don't just make a couple great songs and the rest 'fillers.' Every song is great on this album. In conclusion, this album is just about perfect. The Great Depression describes many of the problems in society and shows how depressing life can be at times. The album also focuses a great deal on hope, "A light at the end of the tunel." The album grows on me more and more every time I listen to it. It’s an amazing experience and shows Blindside’s musical diversity and true abilities.
