Epiphany - Bad Religion (w/ lyrics)

Please do a random act of kindness for your fellow man today. A little thought goes a long way.
I do not own this song. All rights go to Bad Religion and Epitaph Records. Written by Greg Graffin and performed by Bad Religion. Released on The Process of Belief (Track 9) in 2002.

This might be Bad Religion's crown jewel as far as poetic brilliance goes. What a phenomenal song!

[@destroyerid]

i am thankful every day that this band has come into my life. they have inspired me to be better than i am and to do things that i never thought i could do. thank you bad religion. even though i take no direction from you

I saw them play it live in 2003 with a drunken Fat Mike on stage. Mike and Greg both made some playful remarks about stealing this intro.

listen the song THE DEFENSE of bad religion

[@TexasTrojanPony]

It’s so clear and pure and true when it comes to you, and then all this bull**** happens and it’s so hard to hold on to what you feel. And what I feel is all I know.

[@chrisschmelzer712]

beauty plus heart=art

[@SimunSansa]

I simply love absurdity. This song is wonderfully absurd: "it came to me, the fallacy of epiphany." What a paradox, Greg had an epiphany about the lack of value of epiphanies. In turn, he dismisses this song as valueless too, since it's an epiphany. I'm inclined to disagree, while agreeing with his point - that's the relativity he also spoke about. Gotta love that man.

[@Biskawow]

I don't think its absurd at all. The whole point is not to be sure about what you think is right, because in time you will have a chance to see things from the other side and even change your mind. What might be considered evil from one point of view, could be good considered good from another.

[@dont.ripfuller6587]

That intro is stickin' in my ear...

[@angelmembrane909]

Ear? Lol

[@fexcasanova]

Jordan H was a joke

[@WayneShay00]

Well done - just enough FX to keep it interesting without being distracting, and the line breaks fit with the expression in the vocals. Too often creators on KZbin get carried away with the visuals on a subtitled video. There should never be an excuse for unreadible text when a KZbin title invites people to follow the lyrics!

[@TheoneandonlyDrops]

I dunno, I felt kind of annoyed by the fade in effect, since it 'delayed' the readability of the text meaning you couldn't sing along to it as easily. But I'm willing to accept that most people probably don't feel the urge to sing along to every song XD I do agree with you, that a LOT of lyrics videos feel the need to cram special effects, like text that slides in from different directions or things like that, which are just annoying as fuck. Whatever happened to just having plain old text on screen without any effects?

[@Shadethewolfy]

@@TheoneandonlyDrops Worse are when the text has a rainbow effect on it... or is set against a background that IS a rainbow effect. Or is set against a solid red background... All three effects burn the shit out of my eyes.

Still relevant, actually, EVEN MORE RELEVANT. I am surprised you haven't received hate on this comment yet like "people can listen to whatever they want stfu", like we get that, of course you can listen to whatever rap/pop you want, but we're just saying that this is amazing music too with amazing meaning.

@@johannaappleforest7482 that also exists in a lot of mainstream music, if you don't look at things in a vacuum

[@johannaappleforest7482]

@@gamewiki8592 some yes but a lot less common because of streaming services and pirating so the music industry has less money so they shit out content I most definitely don’t live in a vacuum. I’m as emo as they come and I still support many pop and rap artists. I even tell people my second favorite genre is folk music. Just because I like rock the most doesn’t mean I’ll shit on a pop artist for their choice of genre. They can still have deep meanings in their music. Native American traditional music and powwow music is my 3rd favorite. Emo people who crap on other genres aren’t true emos. But it doesn’t mean we won’t tell the truth. Many bands and artists agree the music industry isn’t getting paid enough and they know if they shit out random music they’ll get some amts of money.

[@willioimicherio2121]

so if people r imperfect then a world where people decide upon what the rules for others r there will obviously be many unjust and unfair rules and people may become corrupt with power so without government people will do what they think is rite and be allowed to do so no mater if their wrong or write but they wont be able to enforce their will upon others 4 example if a man is against drugs he wont do them but he's not guna force the man doing drugs 2 stop because thats his human rite 2 do so

[@severed111]

One of the best on the Process of Belief, but that's in my top 5 BR albums. Wackerman really brought new life to the band. Also that solos, no idea if it is Hetson or Baker or Gurewitz doing it but just shows a good fuck you to the elitists who don't like metal or punk, like it's an either/or, it hasn't been since crossover came over. When I heard D.I. Spiritual Law and then Judge's Bringing It Down and then saw this video by a german thrash metal band Kreator where the singer/guitar virtuoso wore a Bad Religion shirt in their video for "Betrayer", I stopped the elitism of my hardcore punk only days.

Not when there's evidence on their side.

[@CrazyCaucasian1337]

sick shit bro

[@mbz25]

lol i was like dafuq have i heard this song before oh well. NOFX and bad religion are both great bands and since NOFX likes bad religion so much i really doubt theyd care if it was copied. pretty sure nofx have a song called i fucking love bad religion or something aha

[@RickJaeger]

But then that same logic applies to other things like theft, rape, murder, and other actions which are currently considered wrong. Rights are historically not been protected in a state of what may be considered near-total absence of government.

[@droberts009]

Ricky Jaeger five years late but is argue that rights are nonexistent or at least malleable in a state of near government lessness

[@Kumquatodor]

I venture to say any music is "real". Even... gulp... yes... Beiber.

[@krisleydude]

Lol they do. If it was intentional I doubt they were trying to steal it. More of a respectful homage if anything.

[@JFullerUCSB]

What? That's exactly what it looks like. I'm from Echo Park, so I think I would know.

[@lolzomgz1337]

Hmmm. I love this song, and all of BR's song. But I would by no means say they have any real meaning - it's just all pretentious, useless, arrogant non-sense. Fun to listen to, but I really wouldn't take it to heart. Claiming to know there is no God/Afterlife/Reason to exist/Way of us to truly learn about our origins/Means of comprehending another prospective/Worthwhile reason to live is exactly as pompous and idiotic as claiming to know the opposite.

[@SavageLynelButtPlug]

The bass intro is the same as Stickin' in My Eye by NOFX, is that a tribute to them or did they just steal it. Bad Religion don't seem like the type of people who would steal material and I know Fat Mike is a HUGE Bad Religion fan. And NOFX were signed to Epitaph for over 10 years, so I'm assuming it's a tribute.

[@jordanmarino7831]

Just thinkin that!

[@sevinmuhm3322]

They didn't. this one is MUCH slower than the one from stickin in my eye, And with different notes

[@need2game834]

Actually Bad Religion and NOFX are really close friends, there is also a song by NOFX called "I am a huge fan of Bad Religion". It's a tribute

[@SavageLynelButtPlug]

Ok I'll be honest. It is a tribute and I knew that before I wrote the comment. I read it on Dying Scene.com and I think it was confirmed be either Greg or Brett (or both?). I can't even remember why I wrote the comment it seems kinda dumb, why would I do that!?
