Allies - Surrender

[@jgreenfi330]

That build going into the guitar solo I used to play over and over in my car during the 80’s. They don’t make music like this anymore!

[@TruthHurts58]

Bob Carlisle is one of the greatest vocalists to ever walk planet earth in ANY genre. It's tragic some folks only know him for the Butterly song.

[@chobeeboy44]

TruthHurts58 I counter with Matthew Ward! Lol! I miss the big voices of 80's CCM!

[@timmacdonald8141]

Mathew hanes didnt write 12 excellent songs......allies had at least 7 hits....in my world .lol and that was before he went on his own for another 7.

[@claudemcwhorter]

@@chobeeboy44 for sure, Matt and his sisters.. or those 2 girls, I forget the name of the band, was it, 2nd Chapter of Acts ? Praise God .

[@dougroberts9821]

Very true

[@Godpleaser07]

@@chobeeboy44 YES! Matthew Ward and Greg Volz!

[@rustyshadow7]

Petra, Mylon LeFevre, DeGarmo and Key, Rick Cua, Allies etc. Christian bands in the 80s were without any doubt, the best!

[@SexGodsWife]

rustyshadow7 - The Front!!

[@claudemcwhorter]

me and 2 other dudes drove from Birmingham, Al. to Front Royal, Va, to see Fishnet 1983, saw Petra and REZ BAND and 10 smaller acts. It was fab. !! still got that T shirt.

[@rustyshadow7]

@@claudemcwhorter Wow, I still have a few T-shirts, and quite a few cassette tapes, they still sound good too.

[@shawnkadar4878]

For sure!!

[@hollybucher552]

BAM!!! you nailed it

[@reinatarshis5058]

I really love this song when it came out. I miss the Christian music from the 80's. I saw Allies in 1986.

[@chrischapman7069]

Reina Tarshis I saw them at a festival in 86 with some christian rock heavy hitters...Whitecross, Rick Cua, Shout, Newsboys to name a few. White Heart was the headliner at the end and the Allies were a couple of acts ahead of them. Ther was a roped off area stage left down front for all of the artists. When Allies hit the stage EVERYONE came out to catch the set!! I laughed as I watched Ric Florian from White Heart mouth open and eyes glued on Bob! They all went to school that night!

[@claudemcwhorter]

@@chrischapman7069 thx for the great ,funny, getting schooled story ! I'll bet this festival was out west, I saw them in '86 in Birmingham, Al. still got the Red, Allies T-shirt i bought that nite.

[@chrischapman7069]

@@claudemcwhorter Actually it was at Wilmore College in Kentucky

[@esharpflat5]

One of the few Christian bands who had the goods regardless of genre which made the message that much more powerful. Miss the days when talent was important. The utmost respect.

[@AngieNye1]

This song never gets old. Best vocals and lyrics, the Allies and Bob Carlisle.

[@eternityfraternity]

I miss the days of Real Videos hosted by Jim Hodson and Matt Crouch. I love this video of the Allies, great band!

[@ericpilgrim6877]

Wow! What a great walk down memory lane. I do miss the 80s Christian rock bands. Bring 'em back!!!

[@33drummerr]

Bob Carlisle is awwwwsssuuuuummmm and so powerful man that voice is amazing!!!! He's one of the greatest singers ever imo!!!! I wish Allies would make a comeback they were great!!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@chrisgunderson8486]

Wish there was more video from them because I was a fan and still am in 2019 Took my 2 boys way back in late 80’s to see their concert in Wichita ,ks and they probably won’t even remember but just now tonight I was listening to their music, STILL LOVE IT

[@montyjason]

Wow, almost every band I was ever in played this tune! Loved singing and playing it!

[@claudemcwhorter]

what state are you in, cause I play too, and I've never seen anyone cover this fabulous song ! ? Just wondering.

[@montyjason]

Edmond, Ok. I’m in a classic rock band called Chanel 3 OKC. I still sing like a girl! Lol

[@claudemcwhorter]

@@montyjason thx for the reply. I figured you might be in Cali. like Allies was ! I'm in Fla. from Ala.

[@BrianODonohue]

Same here Ken!

[@BrianODonohue]

This is the very first Contemporary Christian Song I fell in love with! My all time favorite Christian Band and Singer. Had every album Allies put out and all of Bob's when he went Solo. He was a lot more than Butterfly Kisses! Awesome!!!!

[@madmanjack6923]

I first heard of these guys years ago when I was in the Navy. They were on a late night program called "Fire by Night". Immediately went out looking for their music.

[@XMathis]

I remember seeing this when it was brand new... I have always loved this song!!!

[@dawnwelch6579]

My faves back as an 80’s teen (besides Allies): Petra, DeGarmo & Key, Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Mylon LeFevre & Broken Heart, Steve Taylor, Russ Taff...

[@debbieinnortherncolorado712]

Russ Taff!!!!!!

[@claudemcwhorter]

One of the greatest voices in Christian music.

[@techproken6572]

Wow, this is an awesome find! Bob Carlisle, whoohoo, just awesome!!

[@macphisto777]

Just found this on itunes. Their music was simply entertainment to me when I was 16. Now that I am older, I have found that it speaks to me.

[@spideydew20]

I was so bummed when Sweet Comfort Band was no more, so it was great to discover their "cousin" band, the Allies. Great song - thanks for posting!

[@StuartCardell]

Man, that guy has a great voice!!

[@motivation4u]

Bob Carlisle=pipes of solid gold for sure

[@hollybucher552]

[@mariahisthe1]

what a voice he has. He's truly blessed.

[@MJMyrna]

I finally gave up looking for the CDs and bought them on iTunes. I couldn't wait to hear them all again. I'm enjoying them immensely.

[@LisaAHill]

I can watch this everyday! LOVE THEM!

[@futureseven]

Part of the music that supported my christianity. :)

[@nibiruman70]

Bob is one of the best rock vocalists I've ever heard in my life.

[@jaycavjr]

what a killer voice with great runs at the end. wish he kept playing rock music throughout his music career.

[@MrChazmuz]

Great quality! Thanks for sharing!

[@author]

Most of the general public doesn't know this was Bob Carlisle before "Butterfly Kisses."

[@author]

***** Obviously you don't believe what is written in Psalm 149 and 150.

[@author]

***** What do you base your response on? I'll use Psalm 150, which lists every musical instrument they had in those days in the first 5 verses, plus dancing, saying to praise the Lord with them. And then in verse 6 the final verse, it says, "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord," which means every person, and every new instrument that would be invented after that, which is what Bob Carlisle and the Allies do in this song.

[@MRTain-nj3kg]

+author Just so happens that Bob Carlisle was in a band called Psalm 150 back in the 70s. ( I read that on the Allies "Light Years" CD) :)

[@beadequity2912]

So much better than Butterfly Kisses! One of my favorite albums ever!

[@OnBendedKneeMusic]

Man o man! I just had to hear this song again. Bob C. Whatta voice. Randy Thomas... Great geetar work. Randy, it was such a pleasure working with you over at Radio Ranch in TN. This is phil lugo from OBK. Hope u are well and blessed, my brotha!

[@MJMyrna]

I love the Allies. I had all their CDs and now I can't find them. It's good to hear them again.

[@robertmcgough7067]

I really liked Sweet Comfort Band and then Allies with Randy Thomas playing guitar. Both bands had outstanding vocals. The 80's christian bands were very good.

[@Bandit69ply]

I completely agree it is sooo good to hear their music again.

[@vrn986]

Takes me back to my younger yrs.

Brings back memories. This band used to be on the cutting edge of christian music scene. Talent galore.

[@slappymcslapster8845]

Wow....ha ha! I loved this album...its SO 80's Christian music!

[@mileswinslow7553]

I want to go back in time and see a concert!

[@tomdalimcmillin8279]

I saw them in concert in Ann Arbor. It was a lot of fun.

[@81artmonk]

These guys came and played at my high school during our lunch. They started to move away from this format of rock and more towards a softer bluesy adult contemporary style when I l most interest. This album was on forever when I was a kid....brings back memories

[@JimKingsnorth]

Underrated Christian Band!

[@joao_miguel_lc]

From the day, you are born There's a battle goin' on in your soul Comes a time in your life When you've gotta give Somebody control This is it, time is now And the change should be like day and night It's so hard, to hold out But it's easy when you give up the fight All your life, He's wanted you He's cared for you, I'm tellin' you Now you know He loves you so Surrender! Surrender! You can't stop, love like this It keeps goin' even when it's denied It's no use to resist And I can't imagine why you would try It's a fight, you can't win Cause the power of His love is so strong Let it loose, just give in And you'll finally find the place you belong All your life, He's wanted you He's cared for you, I'm tellin' you Now you know He loves you so Surrender! Surrender! Woah-oh-oh If you think, what you'll gain You will see that you've got nothin' to lose If you count, all the cost It will never match what He'll do for you When you give all your life That's when He will give your life back to you If it means, peace of mind Then surrender is the best thing to do All your life, He's wanted you He's cared for you, I'm tellin' you Now you know He loves you so Surrender! oh-oh-oh All your life, He's wanted you He died for you, I'm beggin' you Now you know you can't go wrong Surrender! Surrender! Surrender! All your life, He's wanted you He died for you, I'm tellin' you Now you know you can't go wrong Surrender! Surrender!

[@Bandit69ply]

That has been my biggest complaint in that u can find anything secular going back to the dawn of time but Christian music is soo hard to find. I was just watching/listening to Sweet Comfort Bands song Perfect Timing. Such an inspiring song when going through a time of trial.

[@PARADOXXMUZIC]

amazing voice
