Live performance of "Down," my favourite song. (:

I'll include the lyrics because this song is so awesome!

It took his breath away holding the bank page

He got the letter they're gonna take their house away

I'm bout to have a daughter he yells it in the air

Feeling the weight of a world that just don't care

He lit a cigarette felt in on his lip

Driving home on a long road with regret

He pulls the window down shouts it out loud

Pushing the pedal and praying Lord help us now

He's looking for a reason watching the sun coming down

Can you hear when we call

There where we fall

Standing our backs against the wall

Top of our lungs Hallelujah

Where pain and love bleed into one

Baby when all you see is darkness

We all need forgiveness

Coming round now

It was Monday night under the street lights

She's turning seventeen in seven nights

Out on the fairgrounds walking in monotone

She kicks a bottle as empty as her soul

On the road alone in a house that's half a home

They give her pills just to kill when she feels alone

She's looking for a reason watching the sun coming down

Take these broken streets

Take these broken dreams

Hold my hand like we we're walking free

Tell me it will change I see it in your face

The hope the fear the love the faith

I'm working late again slaving to make the rent

I'm slanging coffee with dreams heavy as cement

They're coming one by one the face of falling love

I write a song with a prayer as I slide the cup

Can you hear when we call

There where we fall

Standing our backs against the wall

Top of our lungs Hallelujah

Where pain and love bleed into one

Baby when all you see is darkness

Coming down now

We all need forgiveness

Can you hear when we call

There where we fall

Standing our backs against the wall

At the top of our lungs how far we've come

Where pain and love bleed into one

All that we need its so bitter sweet

The pain that opens our eyes to see

Baby when all you see is darkness

Coming down now

We all need forgiveness

Coming round now

I agree with what you said about CCM singers. They need to try to broaden their audiences. Mat's music is written so well and the religious aspects are definitely there, albeit subtle. And it may be just enough to plant a seed of faith in the hearts of listeners who wouldn't normally listen to explicitly Christian music. (:

I'm not into Christian music normally, but this tune is great, and this is coming from a guy who's into metal and hardcore music... Impressed, very impressed.

@pinksparkleprincess9 Get there an hour before the doors open! No, I don't think he did but I didn't stick around long. I did see his drummer taking pictures with people though.

How early did you go to get so close to the stage? I'm seeing him next week and I need an idea of how early to arrive. And did he do a signing afterward?

@daballabaws2 True, this song has sooo much more substance than a typical mainstream song.
