My Sunday Song – “Game On” by Disciple

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic1 Comment

For My Sunday Song #478, we are going to get you on your feet and ready to fight with “Game On” by the Christian metal band Disciple. The song is off their sixth album called “Scars Remain” which was released on November 7, 2006. The album would go on to win Rock Album of the Year at the Dove Awards. The song, I don’t think was a single, but it was the theme song for the WWE Cyber Sunday 2006. And that should let you know what you are in for with this one.

The song was written by the whole band at the time, Kevin Young, Brad Noah, Joey Fife, Tim Barrett and Travis Wyrick. The song is about spiritual readiness, overcoming our past and getting ready to face life’s challenges it will throw at you. People or problems will attack you and you won’t be expecting it, so be ready to fight back. If someone goes against you, your country, your family, be ready for anything. Get yourself ready spiritually by letting God lead you in how to handle any situation. Don’t hold on to the pain, let God take control. Whenever I need a lift, this song will definitely do that. They lyrics speak of fighting, the bell rings, throwing down…all great tie-in’s to Wrestling so no wonder it was picked up as their theme song that year.

The song is aggressive, to say the least. It has loud guitars and drums and feels like a barrage of punches knocking some sense into you. Lead singer, Kevin Young, screams out the lyrics with an intensity that is matched with the aggressive nature of the song. There is anger, but not like you think. It is more like confidence as God is on his side. The best part is towards the end when Kevin speaks the first couple of lines of the verse, then he gets a little more intense until everything simply explodes, the music and his guttural screams. By the time it is all over, you are ready to take on the world…and then put the song on repeat. A stadium, rock anthem that is a great battle-cry.

My Sunday Song – “Fight Like This” by Decyfer Down

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic2 Comments

For My Sunday Song #477, we are talking about the song from the Christian Metal band Decyfer Down called “Fight Like This”. The album, ‘End of Grey’, was released on June 6, 2006 and the single, “Fight Like This”, and all three other singles went to #1 on the Christian Rock Charts and #43 on the Christian album chart. The band consisted of Caleb Oliver on vocals and bass, Brandon Mills and Christopher Clonts both on guitar and last but not least, drummer Josh Oliver. Strangely, it was the only album to feature Caleb on lead vocals.

The song is credited to all the band members and only consists of two short verses and a lot of choruses. So not much there to go on, but to me the song seems to be about fighting your inner demons or the forces around you that are trying to bring you down. The song appears to be about fighting against those forces and fighting with everything you have. The intensity suggests a fight against spiritual temptation or negative influences that have gone too far, demanding a strong response and according to the lyrics, those temptations or forces have crossed a line that should not be crossed. Let the fight begin.

The intensity of the music shows the fight is going to be hard, heavy and destructive. You can feel the anger, the drive, the fight that is inside of him to go against the demons he is facing. The guitars are roaring, the drums are pounding destructively hard. The bass is thumping the rhythm of the heart and all together the battle sounds like it is going to be epic. The chorus explodes and is really catchy. It is a rock anthem that would make a wonderful stadium anthem as well. Get the players riled up and ready to fight. Caleb’s vocals reflect everything being felt and you can feel he is ready to fight whatever comes at him. The fight is going to be brutal.

Give the song a listen and let me know what you thing. Is it a good work out song or stadium anthem, I think it will give you the drive to push hard and fast. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful and Happy Sunday! May this song get you through whatever you are going through at the moment.

“Fight Like This”

Your time is done, I’m moving in
I’ve come to fight or lose, so go ahead and try me
You know I’ve just begun, just begun

[Chorus:]
You’ve never seen a fight like this before (Like this before)
I take you down and leave you there wanting more (More)
You’ve crossed the line that I cannot ignore (Cannot ignore)
You’ve never seen a fight like this before (Yeah)

Feel the pain, I’m raining down on you
You won’t deny my will, cause what I start I will follow through
Craving all that I can see
Making something out of me

[Chorus:]
You’ve never seen a fight like this before
I’ll take you down and leaver here wanting more, more
You’ve crossed the line that I cannot ignore, cannot ignore
You’ve never seen a fight like this before

[Chorus]
