If the members of Sanctus Real were boxers, Fight The Tide
would be the match that turns them into heavyweight
contenders. As the title of the Toledo, Ohio, foursome's
album indicates, this is a band that's ready to go the
distance. Fight The Tide comes from a line in a song from
the band's second album for Sparrow Records, but it
contains broader implications about life's ceaseless
struggles – against negative, soul-deadening messages from
disposable pop culture, perhaps, or against spiritual
complacency. "Fight The Tide is about maintaining spiritual
and musical integrity," says lead vocalist Matt Hammitt.
"There are a lot of people imposing their ideas on
musicians about what they think is the best way to
communicate or to make music. Many years from now we wan More...
Review about Sanctus Real Hmmm | Reviewer: Amber
------ About the song I'm Not Alright performed by Sanctus Real
This song in my opinion is about the church and the religious system it's all involved in. When people go to church sunday morning everyone smiles, and acts like they have it all together. When really it's just a mask that they hide their pain, unanswered questions, and pride behind. It seems like humanity prides itself in being in a better condition than other people... the fact is we are all human.. we all fail.. we all have pain, and we all need Christ. No matter how good or together we appear to other people.

Not about God | Reviewer: Jon Smith
------ About the song Alone performed by Sanctus Real
It's a guy singing to a girl, not about God. Second verse:
"I've done the math, I'm less than half
We're better off together"
God is certainly NOT "less than half" in any relationship. That doesn't make any sense at all.
And does God ever have rainy mondays? That seems like a human thing to me.
Just my view.

------ About the song Whatever You're Doing performed by Sanctus Real
This song means so much to me! I just got back from youth camp (xfuge on a mission in Ridgecrest, NC) and the band Addison Road was there and they (and pastor Mike) really helped me, along with 2500 other youth and adults to really draw closer to God...and this song expresses practically exactly how i feel ...God is calling me to serve Him and He has so much in store for me and it's just so chaotic but at the same time i find a peace in it ...just like the song says...i'm pretty sure i'll be singing this one on my churches next youth sunday as a special! :)
Interesting. the song is dead on where i'm at. someone just suggested for me to listen to it. God is moving in me. I dont know what He's up to. Its good but also very confusing. I am a solid Christian but it seems God wants to push me more. He is revealing himself to me. He has me giving all I am to Him and striving to know Him even more. but, to what end? I am edgy, annoyed, broken, and excited all at the same time in trying to figure out what He's up to. I am trying to relax and rest in His timing but God is still moving my spirit with many thoughts. Jesus, I'm yours. Revive us, reveal yourself to us, and help us to reach others for YOUR Kingdom!

------ About the song Whatever You're Doing performed by Sanctus Real
I have been dealing with major spiritual warfare for a long time and since getting plugged into my current church WOL the enemy has really wanted to destroy me and my family. Sin was controlling my life, and the spiritual attacks were not only destroying me, but attacking my family as well. After listening to this song on the way to work, I felt the washing of the HOLY SPIRIT like never before. It has not left, infact it has increased day by day. I have finally learned what it means to surrender with love and to start to trust again. The attacks are not as binding and I don'y feel as lost. JESUS' loving grace is covering me and I am in love with him. GLORY BE TO THE RISEN KING.

------ About the song Whatever You're Doing performed by Sanctus Real
I needed this song so bad! I love how God slips these things into your day just when you NEED them! I love how God works through other christians, and you they don't even know he is doing it. This song helped me to be reassured that I am doing the right thing. I just surrendered my relationship with my boyfriend of 3years to him, because I do not know if I am in love and I do not know if he is the one God wants me to marry. He is an amazing christian man, but I have lost a lot of passion for him. I also have just moved to a new city and been faced with a lot of temptation, and I decided the best way to figure out what I need to do is to pray about it and completely surrender the relationship to God. It is the best thing I can do, because I do not want to rely on worldly things to help me decide. Instead, I am turning to the word and constant prayer to recieve clarity. This song just happened to play when I was very upset about losing control of the situation. God is great! Trust him!
Wow | Reviewer: Kenya S.
------ About the song I'm Not Alright performed by Sanctus Real
I've listened to this song with a sort of detachment from the past couple of years because I just thought it was a pretty good song that expressed that we need to go to God because we aren't alright. My life was okay i guess. But then something terrible happened: I found out that my parents were probably going to get a divorce and that my father had put us on the verge of declaring bankruptcy. This totally expresses the part "I'm broken inside... Until everything I hide behind is gone." I always knew my parents had issues but now it seems more real than ever. I never told anyone about it; I hid it and some of my friends were noticing it. Most of all, God noticed because even though I had a relationship with Him, this tragedy made Him seem realer than ever. What I'm trying to say that no matter what you are going through, divorce, grieving, self-loathing, anything, God knows and He loves you and wants to help. But you have to make the decision and recognize what's wrong so God can help you. I know I'm not alright. I am broken inside and that's why everything I'm going through is leading me closer to Him.
So, sanctus real is christian obviously. I applaud this, but if some random person off the street heard this song, I think they would get a love song out of it. If you choose to sing about Christ, make the message clear.

------ About the song Whatever You're Doing performed by Sanctus Real
I here this song all the time on the radio and love it. I just found myself singing it at work and realized how much it relates to where I am at right now. I'm 8 months pregnant and the chorus reminds me of my baby girl God is creating (literally) on the inside of me. She is such a miracle and I cannot wait to see what God has in store for our little family. The verses speak to me on a spiritual level, because there are a lot of things from my own childhood that I would like to let go of before becoming a parent myself. I know God is working with me through this time and in me. He is so faithful to those who put their trust in Him. Thank you for this beautiful song!
Wow. I think I've really been leading to a point in my life where these words are so true. I haven't actually turned away from Christ, just sort of drifted to my own thing. I'm still in church and active, but I've felt myself drawn more to sin and away from God. This song really is a prescription for a recommitment to Christ and his work in my life.
Jason - My heart goes out to you. I will keep you in prayer and I pray that your problems will be resolved with the help of God. Sometimes it's really difficult to go through a valley, but know that Jesus Christ is with you every step of the way.
Great song | Reviewer: Bethany Benbow
------ About the song Alone performed by Sanctus Real
I think it is singing as if he is talking as God and telling how much He loves His children, that is the way Sanctus Real meant it to be. It could be interpreted differently but thats what they meant
okay its not just for one thing | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Alone performed by Sanctus Real
This song can be interpreted either way. It can be taken as God speaking to a person, or a man talking to a woman. Theres really no sepcific reference of who its reffered to. It's just more likely that its about God because Sanctus Real is a very proclaimed contemporary Christian band.
Antoher example of a song like this is Time After Time by Cyndi Lauper; it can be sung to another person, or can be like God speaking to a person.

------ About the song I'm Not Alright performed by Sanctus Real
Umm. My bf would listen to this like it had meaning to him. I was hurt, i thought it was me. Then 8.5 months later I find out about something horrible. Then it makes sense. Now this song is now here for me when I think about how much he took from me, when really he gave nothing but lies in return.
Awesome Song With A Nice "Edge"! | Reviewer: cobes
------ About the song I'm Not Alright performed by Sanctus Real
I only heard this song 2 days ago and I liked it right from the start.
I couldn't catch the name of the band until tonight when I saw it on Comcast "Contemporary Christian" channel. (you almost have to SEE the name to "get it"). I told my wife "Hey this is the song I was telling you about!"
When the song says "And all I go through, it leads me to You
It leads me to You", sometimes God "humbles" you to keep you on track to help you realize who's in control. This happens LESS frequently when we acknowledge what He does in our lives by continuously giving Him the praise. Check this out, as a parent, when you give a gift to your child and they smile up at you and say "Thanks Mom! or Thanks Dad!", how GREAT does that make you feel? Well, God is "our" Heavenly Father and when you smile and look up to Him and give Him Thanks and Praise for the blessing you have received, He feels GREAT too and is so Happy that you have simply acknowledged His work in your life. The bible says, in ALL things, be Thankful. I even pray for small things such as a parking space and about 95% of the time he blesses me with a place to park. (you should pray "early" to allow Him "some" time to prepare that space though...lol)
It makes Him happy that you are coming to Him and you need His help.
NEVER be afraid to ask God to meet a need in your life. Constant communication is the "key" here. Again, if your child is living in your home everyday and you only spoke to your child every other day and ignore them the rest of the time, do you think they would feel loved? Far too many people ONLY seek God when their whole world is falling apart or a loved one is on a death bed and they have no other place to turn. Why not start a relationship with Him NOW and when times are tough and you call out to Him, He WILL "recognize" your voice BECAUSE you have been praying to Him... WHEN you are Thankful in the small things, you will be even more Thankful in the greater things... Will God hear "your" voice when you call out to Him...?? He will if you heed my advice...
Sorry for the long post... I just got a little carried away... It's like that sometimes when you're sharing the wonders of our Lord...
Best Regards & God Bless...
