Lyrics:
(do do do do do)
Come on in take a seat next to me
You know we got we got what you need
We may be liars preaching to choirs
But we can we can sell you dreams
You don't need sympathy
They got a pill for everything
Just take that dark cloud
Wring it out to wash them down
But don't pray for us
We don't need no modern Jesus to roll with us
The only rule we need is never giving up
The only faith we have is faith in us
(do do do do)
We're the ones who start little fires
Yeah they burn out
But when they're on the rise they can't help but shine
And when the wave approaches
Take our ashes to the ocean
Who cares if Hell awaits
We're having drinks at Heaven's Gate so
Don't pray for us
We don't need no modern Jesus to roll with us
The only rule we need is never giving up
The only faith we have is faith in us
We know that we're helpless
At least we always assumed
But we don't need to prove nothing to you
Let's keep it cool you don't need to feel blue
Cause we won't sell you nothing you can't use
Don't pray for us
We don't need no modern Jesus to roll with us
The only rule we need is never giving up
The only faith we have is faith in us
(do do do do do)

"In an interview with NPR, the lead singer (John Gourley) explained that the message of the song as a whole was to simply say that it is better to have faith in yourself than in God. He would rather spend time trying to improve his life on Earth then spend time hoping that his life will magically be improved.
This song, like many others by this band, fits the common theme of atheism or not having strict beliefs in a certain line of faith."
wise words yeetboi
He hasn't taken the time to try and understand. God is not hope, he is faith. I hope he looks again. Oh, and he should let the woman who sings feel it still get out front. She makes the song.
@Barbara Lainhart In a fundamental sense, god is a idea. We come up with what he looks like, his doctrines, and how he will treat us in the great unknown. God is a figment of our mind and only we can change how we live our lives and how we fix our own situations. Hoping god will fix all your problems because you have faith is just ludicrous. God in my view, should be a moral compass, not anything more.
yeah but your soul is eternal. so why focus on the little bit of time we have on earth
@@burntheidols4632 because who really knows what's on the other side? We could all be wrong or right. I'd rather not take that chance.
Greetings from Portugal, the land. :)
Tambem sou tuga
Por acaso n sabem a razao de a banda se chamar assim?
@@joaooliveira9805 explica ai
Alter ego - E na verdade podia ter sido qualquer outro país, mas quando a banda começou a dizer Portugal the man apenas lhes suou muito be😉
Portugal, CARALHO!
One of the best video productions I've seen. Americana at the core. No glamour just glimpses of real life.
Yes I always come back to this video years later. I think it says a lot about masculinity in America in particular
Hi have u heard of this song called Time by The Impures, is a bop listen to it
The footage is very powerful. I would love to see the unreleased footage from the filming. All the subjects have their own stories.
one of my favorite music videos ever made
@@juliarodriguez218
Yes, it could be a documentary. I want to know the backstop of everyone featured in this video.
It's not about atheism, it's about stop thinking God will save you all the time and have faith in your self aswell
But that is what Christians believe in, of course their going to be upset
TheBrotherhoodLegacy But they're atheists.
That hit me hard dude and Im a Christian
Nameless not all
thats not what the lyrics say bro. They have an album called "the satanic satanist", how can you deny the fact that they are making music about atheism?
Portugal. The Man deserves better than the CZcams comment system
They shouldn't have allowed comments to Modern Jesus.
+The Feline Dragon this song is garbage
Why are you watching it then?
The Feline Dragon i wanted to hear what it sounded like. i haven't listened to PTM in a while.
+Kevin Miles The song is garbage? "Garbage"? There are tastes and there are personal opinions, but you have to be an attention hog to call a song with such rhythm, vibe, and message "garbage." Plus, say this in the comment section of a well-received song and you know you should expect comments like mine, or worse.
This old man dancing is one of the best things i ever saw
Believe in yourself. Have faith in yourself, the youth of today need to believe they can achieve more than was done before them. To be better persons; kinder, wiser than those that came before.
One does not necessarily require faith in a god or Messiah, but faith in oneself, and in one another.
thank you
Lies. We aren't God. Faith in yourself is just egotistical
🌞🙌🙌👏👏👏✌️
@@felipeeira I'm interested in this topic. How so?
@@felipeeira The Lord has spoken. Today you shall see his glory
I never fail to get goosebumps when I listen to this song. I love it so much.
Every time this song....comes around.
It make us remember we're not alone
+We're actually very special cuz we want to live not to die as the rest
Double negative= Positive. I hope after COVID we can still see this as true.
"We're having drinks at Heaven's Gate" is one of the most beautifully nihilistic humanist lyrics ever written
That line gives me some great visuals that keep evolving each time I hear & watch this video.
It’s obviously a reference to Jim jones and his followers in some way
@@jak834 Heaven's Gate was a cult that committed mass suicide in 1997 after taking phenobarbital washed down with vodka, believing that a UFO behind the Hale-Bopp comet would take their souls to a higher level of existence.
@@jak834 It's a reference to the Heaven's Gate cult, which thought aliens were coming for them behind a comet and uhhhh...... went out to meet them
This isn't an anti-Christian song. It's a pro-humaninty song. And there's nothing wrong with that.
it's a song about your mom
nutsackmania sir, it sounds like you may need jesus.... just saying.. ;)
DarthMohammed Very good, very very good
p0mfg0rzk im an atheist but really? people are allowed to believe in what they wants
"im an atheist but really? people are allowed to believe in what they want." -said the athiest....
"People are allowed to believe in what they want but if it's not what I believe in they deserve to burn in hell"- said the christian.
That moment when you try find a football video of portugal´s team, and you find a good song...
yeaaaaa
yeaa
yyeeeaaaaahhhhhh
yup man.. one of them dope songs........ feel u.. peace out.
nooooooooooaaaa
This band is the best band playing right now in the world. Every fucking song these guys play is dope.
truth seeker
@@Portugal.TheMan say hi to me too 🥺
@@davidplata1302 hi
Even though it doesn't mean much🙃🥲
@@Portugal.TheManyou are criminally underrated. I tell people about your music all the time and no one's ever heard of you. It's positively astonishing to me how practically the whole planet is just sleeping on your unbelievable talent.
I'm a Christian, and I still love this song, I'm all for people spreading their own message, even if I don't completely agree, and people should stop getting butthurt over the fact that these guys believe what they want, their is nothing wrong with that. Great song, keep it up guys
Wholesome.
There* good comment
Oracle Nova I think these guys are Christan to

Adam Kahlhamer thanks
'Modern Jesus' is simply a stand in, a metaphor for relying on something or someone to save you in the modern age. It's not actually referring to the bible or anything like that, it's not a religious song
Sam Williams No, why can't you see that it's satire?
Can it not mean two different things? Metaphors usually do
Sam Williams It says jesus, you can't say it's not referring to the bible because it obviously is. On the other hand you are also right, it could have said we don't need no modern buddah or whatever. Only faith we have is faith in us. We are the most powerful beings in this universe. If we only knew.
It's about the apostasy and falling away from God in the last days. All these comments you find here are proof of that. You wouldn't understand that though if you are ignorant, or not a real believer in the scripture.
AJollyGoodFelon That's sort of like saying 'you said the word pizza so you must have meant Italy' Christo is right when he says apostasy, but the beauty of interpretation means it doesn't have to be about one thing and one thing only.
And I'm not 'ignorant' because i don't believe in the scripture. I just have another way of thinking. Which is ok.
“Christianity did not become a major religion by the quality of its truth, but by the quantity of its violence.”
- Michael Sherlock
Explain the conversion of the majority of Christian countries across the globe and show me one that was forced to be Christian, because I'd like to see it. Before you speak, use your head, otherwise you will die upon your shield.
@113349780698191568679 are you being serious? No one needs a BA in History to know that Christianity is by far one of the most violent religions to have ever existed. south and central america and Mexico, not to mention the slave trade, because the bible teaches how slaves should be treated and sold and how to beat your slaves. All of that was done in the name of Christianity and driven by profit. Almost all the major countries of Africa were forced into Christianity, and many more countries. American natives were forced into Christianity, in fact it was illegal for native americans to even practice their own religion or even speak their own language.
+Joe H Ummmmmm ever hear of a guy called Constantine?
+Joe H well, pretty much all the native americans were forced into christianity. your argument is invalid
+Steven R. SO TRUE!
the imagery in this video is fantastic
I agree, it's amazing.
Cant argue with that
Legit one of the songs I rather listen to on CZcams instead of Spotify, just for this reason
Portugal. The man has invincible videos for their songs.
Love this track!!! This is how you make a track rejecting religion, but not in any way condescending, more so in a beautiful way like love and your appreciate you and your worth! This track is powerful to me! An anthem to me!!
I like that you say religion and not necessarily God. I mean it could definitely be seen as both, but I think the overall message is not "don't believe in God" but instead "don't count on God to live your life for you, that's on you."
@@leviticus4848 Yes! I mean they're "Agnostic" or "Atheist" but they aren't bashing it, like you said it's more live your life the way you want to and know your worth, their may be a God, but he can't save you or guide, at the end of the day the only religion to me is love! Blessings and respect to you!💯🙏
@@docm4544 yessir.
Well said 😀
@@leviticus4848 Cope. religion more often than not has to do with god
Okay guys, lets set this straight: the song is definitely about religion - the absence of it. He's saying we should have faith in ourselves and our fellow man instead of worshiping the big lie in the sky.
You can do both. No need to criticize religions aS doing that only causes more hate and anger.
I agree. My interpretation of the song is that we should live while we are alive. There may be a God, or many, or some form of Creator. But the purpose of life is to have fun, and not focus on what happens after death.
shawndy thomas no need for the insults and with ignorant and stupid people religion does cause anger and hate and modern religion is held back by the idiotic fanatical that think insults and threats can better their cause and even more so by the Muslims who never advanced with the rest of the world and fell back on religion to organize armies which was incorporated into their society to make them a militaristic people but even then Islam still does help many who recognize its peaceful potential and act peacefully. with all of that i will say that in the right hands and mind religion can help lead people to do greater things and be a better person as long as they are stable enough not to become fanatical and smart enough that they can contribute to the world. its simple creation has also saved thousand of lives throughout history, and even though it has taken many as well it still has the good potential that many people ignore, and many more people should act on.
Telling other people what to do seems kind of asshole-ish.
You are basically saying that only religious people should be allowed to express themselves and non-religious people should shut up at all times. Such a double standard.
You can feel the passion of this artist when he creates every song that's why I am so grateful on the wisdom that I have I can feel People's Energy and it feels so great you can feel the passion in their music
Heavy emphasis on spiritual growth, rather than religious advancements.
A better relationship with god isn't possible without a better relationship with self.
Words of wisdom
@@DiogoF. or pointless ramblings of someone believing in an imaginary skywizard
They got such a crazy amount of great visuals in here. An editorial / visual genius at work.
"Don't pray for us, we don't need no Modern Jesus" this part makes me feel soooo chill
This is probably one of my favourite Portugal. The Man songs!
It’s because it’s the best
This band and this song are my all time faves.
Same
glad i found this song,
just typed Portugal the man modern Jesus and came across this, what luck!
Did you expect to come across anything else?
No way, also i tried looking up Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin once and Stairway came up!! It was crazy man!!!!
i came on a cross too
I'm curious about what you were looking for originally hahahah
that's so cool!
'We know that we are helpless
We always assumed
But we don't need to prove nothing to you'
I am not an active Christian but I still abide by my faith -to some extent- and pray every night. What I dislike about the Christian religion is the avid worshipers who condemn you because of the scriptures THEY deem to be relevant while virtually ignoring the other portions of the Bible that says THOU SHALT NOT JUDGE etc. Hence I stopped going to church altogether; I think my relationship with God is my business and not the business of the plethora of modern Jesuses roaming about.
I don't think I will ever stop loving this song.
Hope you still listen to this one... thought to send a message so you get a notification and you come back here and listen to this and get a trip down the memory lane
It's a great song
1:18 This guy's face... Always craks me up
for a brief moment I thought it was Bradley Cooper lol....
It makes me lol... like literally!
If he was fat, he would be the perfect description of an american.
This song isn't anti Christian however this particular group is. Plastic soldier, sleep forever and a few other their song's lyrics set a very clear message. I can like this group, be Christian, know that and still not be deluded or hateful.
"you don't need sympathy they got a pill for everything" so true
Even as a Christian, this song is really good and that's all that matters. The message isn't bad, the lyrics are beautiful, and the the melody and voice are both spectacular.
If you’re a Christian and you don’t see anything wrong with the message “we don’t need Jesus, the only faith we have is faith in us”, then you should be deeply concerned about your faith. Read Matthew 7!
@@Requestnetwork1 Under my point of view, this song criticizes the tendency of religious organizations of putting aside compassion between humans and only putting emphasis on blind faith and obidience to the rules, creating a sense of fear of God and his punishment instead of trust and love
This has surely been a problem throughout all of history, and a couple of centuries ago it was way worse, but it's sad to see that such things remain even today
(opinion of a catholic btw)
@@davidepellegrino3999 That's a fair criticism and I find that trend especially prominent in the Catholic church, sorry if you've experienced that.
But the main message of the song is to put aside faith in God and have faith in yourself which is completely unbiblical. I'd rather listen to a criticism from someone in the faith than people who are literally posting satanic content (look at the name of their albums and songs).
@@Requestnetwork1 now that I searched for more information about the song, I see you're right, its view is definitely anti religious, although I wouldn't go as far as calling it "satanic"
Anyway, the thing I felt necessary responding you for is just that I don't find right to tell a Christian to be concerned about his faith just because he enjoys and doesn't find a wrong message in an anti religious song
@@davidepellegrino3999 Gotcha, the satanic thing is mainly referring to the band as a whole but that's another discussion.
I'm going to disagree because there's a difference between enjoying a song and defending its bad message. It's not just about religion, it's literally saying you don't need Jesus because you should have faith in yourself. I pray God would reveal that conviction to both of you, God bless you brother!
7 лет смотрю этот клип и каждый раз восхищаюсь. Шикарная работа! Это творение заставляет задуматься о жизни. На земле много людей, у каждого своя жизнь, каждый занят своим делом. Много бед, страданий, и смертей, но мир продолжает жить. Вера людей движет этот мир! Это должны видеть больше людей. Респект из России!
This song, as well as most of Portugal. The Man's music portrays the best message for a happy lifestyle. Thank you for spreading this wisdom to me and hundreds of thousands of others!! Smile, Sleep Forever, Purple Yellow Red and Blue, and Modern Jesus have by far the wisest lyrics I've ever heard and I just wish others could see this as clearly as me.

Atheism is faith too
thank jesus for this song
wait
This band is amazing. They don't conform to one sound, and every album has a different style, yet they all sound amazing. They do not sing about sex or love, like most Top 100 artists, and every song has a deep meaning everyone can relate to. I can listen to every single album and never skip a track.
And then hit repeat. Basically, the most underrated band alive.
"The most underrated band ever" I heared that about nearly every band that doesn't play pop
Remember listing to this band 5 years ago; back when they were real underground. Then I stopped listing for a couple years, and now im hearing them on radio? Deng it good to see them come a long way.
Woo, I thought you were going to say they sold out or something.
Joel Nash
haha me too. I remember listening to "aka m80 the wolf" way back
And now there’s rap
Como eu sou apaixonada por essa música!!! ❤
Somos 2
+Beatriz Gomes tenho
Melissa Frias you're fucking sexy
é apaixonada pela música mas nem sabe o que ela significa
problema é meu
just dicovered that Danger Mouse is behind portugal the man. No wonder i ve been in love with melodies and motives of their music for 10 years/ Before i knew Danger Mouse because of the band called Broken Bells and they also have very catchy and cool melodies. I should explore more from this guy definitely! My soul type of music!
And sometimes Mike D, and sometimes Jeff Bhasker.
Broken bells too? Damn, I should have known more about this man
Whenever there's content remotely, slightly calling religion into question it always draws out the smartest people in the comment section. And they always have such original thoughtful responses.
Well, there will allways be someone that shouts about god existing or not existing, calling those who think otherwise stupid, but its the minority, I think that its good that we talk and share our opinions, the world is more interesting this way
Its basically saying dont wait for god to do your work, do your own work for your sake. He will do his and you will do yours. He already has a lot on his hands so why bother ask him if you have the ability to do it - 2k19 p.s. im a hardcore catholic and this song is so 🔥
You're so close, you halfway got the meaning
Proving it doesn't have to be old to be a rock classic. #middleagedguy
👏👏👏👏
Frank Cohen bless u middle aged guy
Frank Cohen yay finally someone who isn't getting mad over religions
This song is not rock, this is techno shoit. Check your ears brother.
Wpuldnt consider this rock. It its a great song non the less!
The shot at 2:04 is so beautiful.
I'm a Christian but this song is amazing 🤙🏿.
I'm a atheist and I agree. This song is great
Great band..its about keeping your faith 🙏
This song came along at a really valuable time for me. There aren't words for how much it's helped me through the rough patch. Thank you Portugal.
What's the meaning of the weird stuff and "low class" peeps in the video though?
Valuable? Did you mean vulnerable? Weird …
@@SqueakPip no. I meant what I said. Its timing and effect were valuable to me.
When my nephew was still a baby I'd have to babysit him and his big brother for hours sometimes. I was still in high school myself so I didn't know what to do besides play music for them. The "do doo do do" part made them so happy and bouncy 😊😄😆 love this
My college radio station played this during finals week. I was blown away by the song. And the video...absolutely excellent!!!
Only now do I realize how profound the lyrics of this song are
الحمد لله على السمع و الأبصار و الأفئدة.
Alhamdulillah for sight, hearing and heart.
I was enthralled by this video . . . well done director . . .
WTF is it about
jerryjiggler is about modern jesus: means today religion is mixed right with wrong. so we don't need prayer from this new religion.
"In an interview with NPR, the lead singer (John Gourley) explained that the message of the song as a whole was to simply say that it is better to have faith in yourself than in God.

DEBATE OVER.
I love the song, I'm an atheits and it's dumb that they believe that all they have to do is pray and go to church and will have a good life! Live on your own guys and don't believe that Jesus will save you. GJ
now this is what i call aesthetic
cherry syndrome Its all a metaphor you silly goose
what is aesthetic?
Mr Cervas Zeffer check yourself before you wreck yourself
No he’s singing for the people not for the fact he doesn’t believe in god in fact he was raised and is Christian has a wife and a kid
Greetings from Turkey, the country.😃
I am a metal-head and I say more of this stuff! Portugal. The Man. Is awesome! Trippy, good music.
Portugal. The Man is amazing! I pity anyone who can't appreciate their creative, inspiring and thought provoking music.
I seen them live a few months ago. It was one of the best concerts I have ever attended.
This music video just symbolizes people from every different walk of life doing what they were meant to do. Live life. In their own ways following who they want and taking everything in.
Favorite song...and artist...
this song has changed my life, my views of the world. love this sooo much
The real America
ditto
ditto ?
Raul Griffiths What a scrub you didn't play pokemon
pretty profound for your mom
Personal responsibility is the message.That extends to living an honest, truthful, authentic, and examined life. It's when we don't, that we as humans create problems for ourselves and others. Try and be a good human. Do not oppress.
It's hopeless.... I just CANNOT get enough of these guys!!!
I just got to see them with Twin Peaks and Cage the Elephant .It was one of the best shows I've seen in sometime.
This song is so underrated. I love y’all for real
tend to agree with you
It's interesting how music is almost like a time machine. If you listen to a song in a significant point in your life, every time you hear that song again, it will bring you right back to that time.
no point in debating about any anti-religious notion here. Given the video, this is pure Americana.
Jesus is the way, & there is a God .. without You wouldn't be here, weather you believe it or not, i suggest you try to find him before its too late
nah full blown christian. so go head & say the comment that suppose to ruin my day *****
***** Thought your questions would be difficult but they are actually basic & the answer are in the word if you properly study. I gave my life to God 2yrs ago ive studied nearly every religion you can think of trying to find the truth & i found jesus, i believe in him because i actually get results, my prayers get answerd, he speaks & ive met him (weather u believe it or not) unlike there other religions there is no fruit. yes Adam & eve are from the dirt & clay & water the human body is made of those things science proves that, & yes incest was a thing back then, God allowed it to produce life on earth & incest didn't become a sin until the Mosaic law which was thousands of years after adam & eve. & yes God can see all things, he knew man would sin & cause chaos but God also knew there would be those who would serve him & be faithful, we are born into sin when a man & a woman conceives a child, Jesus was not conceived by a man & woman he was born without the help of a man supernaturally, thats why he wasnt born in sin (obviously) and jesus never sinned bible never said he was a (regular) man it just says he was a man it says he was God in the flesh lol and yes for many years africa has been overwhelmed by satanic culture even today, man areas of africa are subdue by witch doctors, especially in sudan, u should read about it sometime but yea ..thats didn't ruin my day at all lol .......
***** The Catholic church is known for its false, doctrine, like praying to mary, i even know some catholics who pray to dead relatives, bible does not say for us to do so, it seems you've been mislead. Once again your questions are quite basic, to be made in God's Image is not a physical meaning to be made in Gods Image mean that we were made in his likeness, the Hebrew in its latin root for image is "Imago dei" God created Adam & Eve perfect, but when man sinned in the garden, sin destroyed that. God created Lucifer & like Human, Angels have free will & lucifer chose his, God doesn't want to create people & force them to love him, he want people to decide to love him & sadly people take a different path, Angels are Gods servants but we are Gods heir, we were made to worship God & have fellowship with him, you say you know the bible well but i say your either a liar or you over exaggerate your knowledge of scripture, because from the questions you've asked i pick up that your knowledge of scripture of of one who has barely read or barely understand it ...
***** I never said atheist didn't study the Bible, i was just referring to YOU, ive met & talked to many atheist who know scripture well but they see it through caranl eyes so they wont truly understand what its saying like you for example, & if you know the answer to these questions then why do you question me ? and you say Gods the culprit for creating the devil but your a atheist you don't believe neither of them exist, so why do you care ? i sense deep down inside you, you know theres a God, words kinda give that away
***** I can't see my ignorance because it isn't there, i simply have a firm knowing in my belief & i have seen supernatural events, too many to count but everything you told is your "Collection of opinions" but as i said before .. this didn't ruin my day, i've had far more complex debates & this isn't one of them.
Can't believe how underappreciated this song is.
Im from Europe and now I finally know what you guys talk about when you talk about flyover states.
"You don't need sympathy they got a pill for everything" one of the greatest lines in history (opinion)
I love this song I think it talks about what society have has become. Meaning everyone is falling apart thinking they do need Jesus we dont need help we just need ourselves. but in the end you need help you need Jesus and to believe and have faith in yourself and jesus
It is a great song with a beautiful message ❤❤❤
I found a remix of this song by accident like 5 years ago on soundcloud. Didnt know it was a remix. Just found this. Completely rediscovering this song I loved. Omg. This is perfection.
Clicked on the thumbnail. Better than what I expected.
"If every trace of any single religion were wiped out and nothing were passed on, it would never be created exactly that way again. There might be some other nonsense in its place, but not that exact nonsense. If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true, and someone would find a way to figure it all out again."
Ricky Gervais?
TheDarKnight 57 Christianity would always remain the same.
I guarantee it ❤️
@@TheRelicImage Not if the contents of the Bible were lost.
Nayban Kamaran yes
Hypothetically.
Why am I ahead of the curve on some music and then I find a band that I love only to find that they been around for years
The single greatest music video of all time.
Cant we all just enjoy the music instead of debating religion? Save it for the classroom
Just because you disagree with the opinion does not make this a bad song. It's like essays just because you don't agree with what is written, doesn't make the essay bad. That's all...
Love that song too much !! ❤ Portugal the Man is so smart ! 🎉
"Faith is believing what you know ain't so." ~Mark Twain. I love that more and more people are open about not buying the fairy tales and snake oil pushed by the religious.
how do you feel about more and more people worshipping satan openly and admitting it? so whose fairy tales are they being brain washed by?
+Quest427 - Jesus, God, Mohammad, Satan, angels, devils, spirits, ghosts, leprechauns, fairies, unicorns -- all are mythology. There is no evidence for a supernatural realm where the laws of science don't apply. People need to embrace reason and rational thinking, not superstition and magical religious nonsense.
Both God and Satan are fictional characters. Both groups of people are "openly worshiping" something that doesn't exist.
The best music video ever made in my opinion.
In combination with this song, it's brilliant
This song isn't really anti Christian, it's more about a person or persons who don't believe in god and don't need praying for, they'd just rather focus on what they can do here on Earth than worry about what awaits them afterwords.
I don't know why so many christians are butthurt over this song the only thing is that they "don't need no modern Jesus" and that "the only faith we have is faith in us." They're bands that practically spit in Yahweh's face with their insulting lyrics but you're insulted because someone said I don't need this. Come on! Try to choose your battles better >.>
I'm Catholic and this is my favorite song.
*****
Ouch cut my finger on that edge.
*****
Guess what.
I don't really care about your opinion either.
***** oh crap, just another ignorant whackjob.
***** I agree, but you don't have to be a dick haha it was funny though
i feel like this is one of the only bands that sings about real life
come to Kazan, you are the best, modern jesus perhaps the best track that I have heard, you are the best, come to Russia
See your comment and crying😢
Whoa, that humongous black at 2:13-2:17 is awesome!
A única regra de que precisamos é nunca desistir.
I keep coming back to this video, song, and album. Greetings from Israel! I hope one day you'll visit us
people keep arguing if this is anti-religious or pro, Gourley said in multiple interviews he doesn't believe in "God" he believes in Music.
I am Christian, but Anti-religious. Gourley needs a lot of faith for denying God's existance. What a pity so much good singers don't believe in God
Vettel2011 *so many. What a pity religious people have such trouble expressing coherent thought.
Vettel2011 christian, but anti-religious......ok........
Yes we need Jesus👍
+chelade17 - Nah. The Jesus myth is just another story. Jesus, if he even existed, was not magical, and, I hate to break it to you, but he's never coming back. Do you really think there was one supernatural guy amongst billions of members of a relatively recent hairless ape species? And, he came along only 2,000 years ago on one little planet in a 14-billion-year-old universe consisting of 100+ billion galaxies? How immensely arrogant and narcissistic does one have to be to believe such nonsense?
zamaz99 No Jesus is not a myth, but reality. His return is at hand, and yes i really do believe in Him. May The Lord be with us all. Amen. Good night.
chelade17 Jesus is reality, huh? How about Zeus, Thor, and Isis? I guess you believe they were reality, too, because there is just as much evidence to support their magical powers as there is to support Jesus's magical powers.
zamaz99 simple.they are demons and false gods.
chelade17 How convenient that the one you have chosen to believe in is the only "real" one! What are the chances?! LOL!!
Their songs are amazing, and this one really highlights the problems of humanitys faith in themselves.
RIP Big Nigga, forever in our hearts.
RIP Ceddybu 🙏
So honored to have been in this video for such an amazing song! I'm the bloody guy at 2:59 !! Saw Portugal.The Man this morning in The New Years Day parade and made me think of this song. It was a great and unforgettable opportunity. wish we coulda met the band.
The bloody one or the twerking one?
Thank you guys.
The amount of russeled jimmies in the comments brings a tear to my eyes.
that intro chilled me to the bones!
Exquisite. All equal in the eye of God, we are Jesus.
when i first heard this song, i couldn't tell if it was pro-humanity or if it was a sarcastic take on the outlooks of today's society. even if the message is saying hey have some faith in yourself or if it's saying hey we really do need jesus, it's a gorgeous and thought-provoking piece.
Kisha Jones I highly DOUBT they are trying to promote a faithless approach to Jesus. I know Portugal. the MAn with their religious songs and they are mostly making fun of or exposing the mindset of the government and world powers to kick out the rules of God (same sex marriage, no abortion etc.) All the people agreeing that this song is an atheist anthem have their heads under the axe willingly.
well thank you. i didn't know. i was just speculating.
OwlGamer1212 I'm just giving you what the song is actually about, sorry you are so butt hurt about that.
whoa guys, it's a song. let's not show our fangs about it, kittens.
Kisha Jones this song is about how we DONT NEED HIM and the people who dont believe in him is true and holy not god
