Scott (lead singer) was a Christian singer before Creed .....you can tell it when you listen to the lyrics.....His voice is AMAZING

[@jgilbertify]

Yep...................... let's get back to God.....................

[@theboxingboy7422]

But his band mates didn't really wanna be perceived as a Christian rock band because thats not what they wanted to do when they became musicians and Scott even said himself creed wasn't a Christian band but the messages he put in his songs people took it as they was so they kinda just rode with it

[@erikhutt964]

He was not a Christian singer. His step father was a religious nutball and he was abused from him so sott would write to escape that's were his messages come from

[@DASamX5453]

The band itself has reportedly said over and over again that they are not a Christian band....

Heaven! let's go there! where blind men see! love this song! people don't like bands that preach about our savior. I do! Amen..🙏🙏🙏

[@kellymccombs3496]

Technically he never identified the place as heaven. If it was then how could he know what it is so well, that he went there every night? Wouldn't that almost imply prophet status? Also, he may have been a Christian man in a rock band, but I think calling them a Christian rock band goes to far. That would imply Christian values, and I don't know many people remember this video, but pants that tight are rarely associated with Christian heaven

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

I wouldn't call them a gospel band, but they do have spiritual songs. And Asia is right, they are talking about Heaven.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the lead singer's dad was a pastor. He was inspired by Metallica, although his songs don't sound like Metallica

Scott Stapp is a spiritual person, and I think you get what he's singing about when you understand that. A lot of Creed's best songs are about his faith.

[@angelskunk2206]

Creed didn’t start out as a Christian band but because of some of their song lyrics many people called them a Christian Rock band. The lead singer, Scott Stapp, was the son of a preacher so maybe that’s where people were confused. They had some beautiful songs and his faith and beliefs were apparent in some of his lyrics but I never thought of them as a Christian band. Just a band with some really good songs that mostly had positive messages ❤

[@chrisendsley5724]

To me the message is the best. A lot of Creeds music (lyrics) has an awesome message. Stay safe and be blessed you 2.

[@stephenfournier694]

[@metalmark1214]

In the September 2000 edition of Spin magazine, Scott Stapp explained that this is is not about Christ's ascension to heaven or taking a big bong hit, but is about the power of lucid-dreaming. "You're physically asleep, but you're awake in your mind," he explained.

[@TheDivayenta]

You will love “ Lullaby” by them. Scott Stapp ( lead singer) wrote it for his child.

[@robertjones6971]

I still get grief over enjoying Creed, but they were my introduction to rock after growing up with country music 😂

One of my all time favorite songs and Bands!!! I got to see them in concert at the height of their popularity and they were FANTASTIC live!! ❤🧡❤🧡❤🧡

[@trishc3099]

This is a great song from a great band. You really should watch the official video instead of just the lyrics. You'll be hooked and we'll see a lot more Creed coming on your channel. I suggest Arms Wide Open, One Last Breath, Don't Stop Dancing and My Own Prison.

[@stevestarr6395]

Thank you guys for this song which I believe is spiritual as well as many of their songs! Brings back memories of my son learning guitar and into Creed! ❤❤

[@joelliebler5690]

Definitely one of Creed’s best songs. They had quite a few good ones. I saw them in concert, even though I was deaf for 2 days afterward I still enjoyed the concert!

[@sherribrock2726]

They weren’t a gospel band but Scott was a Christian and didn’t mind people knowing it!

[@jensr.3409]

If you like Creed, I can also recommend Alter Bridge because 3 of Creed play with plus Myles Kennedy as singer/guitarist

[@somersetcace1]

Talk about bringing back memories. I used to play this song in a band as the drummer. A really fun song to play. Great groove! This band did take some grief because people claimed it was a `veiled Christian Rock` band, but not really. The lead vocalist was a Christian from a very strict Christian upbringing. He actually escaped that, but he's still a Christian and of course his beliefs are going to influence his lyrics. Not the same thing as a `Christian Rock` band like Stryper or Skillet.

[@rayzerbone4197]

Creed had spiritual meaning in their songs “GOOD THING THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT DOING A REUNION TOUR “ ✌🏼

[@Nonifull]

Scott Stapp has a great voice and excellent choice of lyrics. My Sacrifice is another goodie by Scott. Arms Wide Open is another one of his besties.

[@MSgt_0699]

Creed's first album was "spiritual," less gospel. Stapp (singer) was the stepson of a Pentecostal minister. So this influenced the writing.

[@vickiejenkins-tripp5994]

Love love love Creed!

[@49erfaithful86]

Btw this is arguably their biggest single, so that’s why it sounds familiar cuz it got heavy rotation on all eligible radio stations and was all over TV during that time.

[@kevindelavega3746]

I love her reaction at the end when she said, “Who doesn’t like Creed?” 😂 I’d honestly put this in the top 50 songs ever written.

[@hollybrooks5741]

I always knew them as a Christian Rock band. I've always loved Creed growing up. People hate on them, but they're seriously talented!! If you haven't listened to anything off their first album, you should check out "My Own Prison", "What's this Life For", or "One" (one of my all time favorite Creed songs

[@timszuberla2216]

Creed got back together and putting on a tour this year & let me tell you a lot of black folks also show up having worked security and it is all love at their shows. Yes it is like a Church experience Gospel or Christian Rock & these were the easier security details I ever did. I probably worked security at over 100 shows in various roles. You will make new friends especially if you say it is your first show they will say welcome to the Creed family.

[@matthewpettengill3008]

That's rock and roll and I ain't religious but he can definitely preach 🙃😉❤️

His description of heaven! Let’s all go there…heaven on earth! Rejoice!

He's definitely talking about his dreams of heaven. The Bible literally says that there's a street of gold in heaven. We all know that Jesus healed several people who were blind by restoring their sight while he was here walking the earth. I love this song

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Creed "ARMS WIDE OPEN" original video is soo good!!! ❤️

[@jek4837]

The lead singer has a lot of spiritual influence in his lyrics, but they have flat out said they aren't a Christian band (nor were they ever). Because of the spiritual/Christian references in the lyrics, a lot of the critics jumped on that as a reason to hate them.

[@jamesmorrison959]

If I remember correctly.. most of these songs from creed were poems written by the singer who was raised in a religious house.. not meant for songs .. they adapted them into songs

[@davideberhart9523]

Such a damn good song and group! Never appreciated but, they deserve all the love. Love the powerful expression of love in humanity. I heard that the lead singer's dad was a minister but, can't confirm it is factual.

[@mikenastasi8927]

His stepfather was a Christian and a strict disciplinarian but he was a dentist if memory serves correct. He did adopt Scott and Scott has his last name, but he's his stepfather.

[@dougphelps6917]

Christian rock... there were several good christian rock bands around this time. My wife loved the sound, the singer, and their lyrics... even tho we are not heavily religious...

[@nthemuseurodenon]

[@PMunkS]

The song was insanely popular in strip clubs back in the 90s. The show usually involved a girl, a pole, and a blanket. Terrific tune!

[@adamfanalways]

Love ❤️ Creed! Waiting for them to get together again with a tour a new album! I will always be a fan of them! Seeing them live back in the day was incredible! Lead singer Scott wrote this song 🎶 based on a dream, dreaming of what heaven would be like here on earth in his dream and keeping it that way, wanted in that dream because heaven was everything he thought it would be to stay in that dream. I recommend Arms Wide Open that song was written shortly after Scott found out he’d be a father for the first time and written during a sound check, lead guitarist Mark was just messing around with what he was playing and Scott heard it and asked him to keep playing that and that is how it came about! Scott was struggling with his place with his religions beliefs and abandoned by his father at a very young age and his Mom remarried and he struggled as to where it fit in his life only because he left a abusive home from a strict stepfather and strict upbringing who beat him and sometimes was beaten in the name of his stepfather’s strict beliefs along with his siblings so he left home then he got with Mark in College forming Creed as young men along with the other two members. Fame is something no one is truly ready for and Scott fell into depression and drinking and drugs and it broke them up eventually and they got back together for a time. Today all original members are good with each other and Scott is going on 7 years sobriety and is doing great today! There has been talk for awhile about getting Creed back together and I believe it will happen it’s just when! Definitely need to do more Creed! Another song I really love is What’s This Life For, about a friend who committed suicide. Weathered, One Last Breath and One! These are some of my favorites!

Whatever you do in life, make it a goal to lift someone up physically, spiritually, mentally, and/or emotionally when you get the opportunity. You would be surprised how little effort it takes and how large the returns are.

[@TheForestCrone]

Took my kids to see them play in Salt Lake City, at the Olympics Awards Ceremony. It was the middle of the winter, these guys on stage rocking out, my kids fell asleep inside their parkas on the cement lol. Kept waking them up to tell them they were missing a helluva show. The lead singer was raised Christian, so you get a lot of his spiritual beliefs in the lyrics, but he also spoke of the hypocrisy and rejected the organized version of Christianity. Interesting indeed, and great music!

[@groovelife415]

People mock this band relentlessly for no reason other than they think it makes them fit in with the online trolls. There's a reason Creed was the biggest rock band in the world for a while.

[@JustinMeansRighteous]

I rocked out to Creed as a child before I realized they were a Christian band. Let me tell you, my friend…you don’t have to believe in anything to rock out to Creed. I’ve been a nihilist since I was a teen and I still find this band a tree branch of hope. Never mind God, of which I don’t believe …any perspective will do 🖤

[@rjh862]

Scott stapp the vocalist was raised as a Christian, I guess his father was very hard core about it there for a lot of his lyrics reflect that. They were a great band and dominated FM rock radio for quite a while..... We even played a couple of their songs in the church I used to go to when I was playing in the Christian band.

[@MandyZor-El]

I love Creed

[@SIR-DanielHunter]

There a Christian rock band. He's singing about heaven with the golden streets. His dad was a preacher. All there songs was bangers

[@whey4u]

Scott Stapp had some mental health issues but is back on the road to recovery. Mark Tremonti the guitarist started Alterbridge and then his own band Tremonti and he rocks. Because there were Christian themes many people didn’t like them but Creed was amazing!

[@49erfaithful86]

Off the bat I’m gonna say this one that came out when I was in middle school I think? Loved the vibe and the lyrics altogether! I heard this and then their first album after which had a harder sound but so good. They had some good songs throughout their run! If y’all could one day review “One” that would be awesome. It’s not my fav from their first album but it has a great message that I think is timeless on end. 🙌❤️

[@chevydoitzKiwiVerrer]

Make me wanna put them headphones on & reminisce 🎧🎶🎶 Creed 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@49erfaithful86]

Oh Creed had a heavier sound when they started, but I could be wrong cuz the earliest stuff I heard was “My Own Prison” which is where the song “One” is from. Two of my other favs from that album is “Torn” and “My Own Prison” and I swear they’re all so good. They also have one that later than all these songs called “One Last Breath” that even my cousins that didn’t start out with rock music loved from the get lmao

[@vickiwelch2381]

I have often wondered if the song was literally about drugs ❤❤❤ his voice is quite gritty and deep. His vocal talent is just so unique. I didn't know he was a Christian Rock musician. Never heard him except with Creed.

[@randybaker6042]

There's a big difference between hearing a song and listening to a song. There are a lot of people who have heard songs 100 times who have never listened. I'm not knocking it, but a lot of people use music as a background effect. Others bury it deep it their soul.

If you think you've heard it but sure you haven't it might be because Scott Stapps voice is very similar to Eddie Vedders (Pearl Jam).

Some of the boys in the band were Christian, like Stapp and Tremonti, I believe. When they first came out, my Black Metal friend liked their songs, till he actually listened and learned they were somewhat faith based, some people were too cool for that, so they said. They had a breakthrough first release nonetheless. Then Stapp Started living the rock n roll life, drinking and what not, then the wheels came off, even the fans that were left jumped off the bandwagon. That's Creed in a nutshell. Also, after Stapp left, the rating members went on to form Alter Bridge with Myles Kennedy. A similar song they have to this one is Open Your Eyes, I do highly recommend you review that one. Kennedy has a killer voice also, many say better than Scott Stapp. You'd have to judge for yourselves.

[@kanomorrow7622]

Great song! They were on top of the charts in the 90’s I had all their music and they did a great job.
