My Sunday Song – “Game On” by Disciple

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.
