i love y'alls videos

[@shanehebert396]

My favorite song by them was "My Own Prison".

[@stikki713]

Would make a great video

[@allenwhitmer8192]

That one, this one, and throw in Higher

[@tameraSBLY]

One of my favorite groups from the 90’s. Right out of college. Scott Stapp’s voice is so cool. Never stop dancing is really great give it a listen.

[@89801wink]

When the line starts, "If I had just one wish...", it gets me every time. I am that person that holds in their emotions. Thank goodness he didn't get that from me.

[@richardlurvey5650]

This song played as my son was born i cry everytime i hear this brings back the excitement i had

[@forourtroopssake7373]

THIS song has always gotten me! Thank you, Burch, for choosing this. Just an AMAZING song!❤️

[@cyndigirl418]

Creed is one of my favorite bands! I love Scott Stapps' voice and how deep their songs are! Higher is my favorite song by them!

[@mikenastasi8927]

This song came out 2 months before my 1st born son was born. It resonated with me instantly and still does 2 more kids later.

[@willardwilson1127]

I Saw these guys in concert in Indy back in 2002, They were great

[@metalmark1214]

Though I'm more into Alter Bridge, the band that features Myles Kennedy as lead singer, Creed had some good songs. For just a cruise and not permanent reunion , Creed are getting back together to headline the Summer of ’99 Cruise in 2024. They’ll be joined by fellow hit-making bands of the era, including 3 Doors Down, Buckcherry, Tonic, Fuel and more. The Summer of ’99 Cruise will set sail aboard the Norwegian Pearl on April 18th from Miami, and travel to Nassau, Bahamas, before returning on April 22nd. Joining the aforementioned acts on the boat will be Vertical Horizon, The Verve Pipe, Tantric, Dishwalla, Nine Days, and Veruca Salt’s Louise Post. Radio personality Eddie Trunk and the stars of AXS TV’s The Power Hour (including Matt Pinfield) will serve as hosts of the cruise.

[@jasonpriddy7828]

Never was a creed fan but I'm 46 and still play 90's music all different genre...90's was the best

[@Bigdogfindley]

Man. This gave me flashback tears! I was a huge Creed fan. At the time, they could do no wrong. And their production was impeccable. Look up "What If". It`s pretty heavy, but that was a HOT track!

[@DayvsonSuper10]

Creed is a band that taught their fans to sing their songs with their soul, it's impossible for you to sing a Creed song without adding feeling and energy, this band is divine Scott Stapp is simply the voice that commands everything A message for anyone who wants to be a Creed fan, please!!! adjust the sound volume when listening 

[@flickeringboxofficial]

Is there something wrong with the sound?

[@Justin_Dykes]

Although Creed conitinued to make great music (and this song being an example of that) the whole "My Own Prison" CD is just stellar. Scott's vocals are great and mark's guitar playing is unworldly

[@dieselforwethepeoplenews6612]

I agree with raising my kids and if your grandpa and raising two grandbabies the nervousness never goes away

[@Fatherofheroesandheroines]

Oh man. This was the song I sang to my oldest son when he was little. It reminds me of him. Yup... there are onions in here!

[@planojag595]

I really liked this song when it first came out but now that I've been a father of two boys this song means so much more to me. Another great song about becoming a Dad is Till I Was a Daddy Too by Tracy Lawrence.

[@GunnerSG]

I too was married and was expecting a son w/ my then wife - this song hit me like a ton of bricks, I knew I could be a good dad but I also knew just like any other new parent, that there were so many unknowns that we had to rise above !!! It is now a necessity for you Burch to also play "Marching in Time" that Mark wrote (for his daughter born w Downs) for his band "Tremonti", you will most definitely click w it !!!

[@ThirteenthDiget]

Mark Tremonti is also in Alter Bridge, and he has a couple solo albums out too. He is amazing.

[@MCraggs123]

Love your channel. Love that you introduce Alexis to new music. Also, love that Burch shares his experiences photographing a lot of these bands.

[@BarriePoole]

You guys should check out Alter Bridge, Myles Kennedy on vocals and Mark Tremonti on guitar. They do a song called Black Bird (Not the Beatles Cover) great hard rock track.

[@DammDamian]

One last Breath my Favorite song such great lyrics

[@stevemitchell2839]

That is one of they're best songs. They did announce a show on a cruise for next year. It sold out so quickly that they have announced a second one also, and Scott has a new solo release coming soon.

[@kyleteal5888]

I grew up with this song when it was popular. I never thought it was about parents. I thought it was about someone who beat cancer or came out of a comma years down the road. And has to be reintroduced to the world because of what ever complications they had. And the opening tears of joy were him speaking to God and he answered back with how to guide them through that person's new life.

[@HarryPotter-dl3kb]

The wonderful thing about this song is that it has so many possible directions. This song will live forever

[@jamesmorrison959]

They became Alter bridge.. after they got rid of the singer…Myles Kennedy took over… words darker than their words.. live .. or blackbird live .. great start

[@Lifes_Mysteries89]

Creed has a lot of good songs, those imperfections you speak of tho can also make you a lot better not every one gets to have an early strugle at least in the way I think were thinking.

[@gabrielholguin3689]

It is time to show Alexis some ALTERBRIDGE!💪🏼

[@chrisstone5868]

I got to meet Scott at a Dallas Cowboys game in 92. He was doing a shoot with the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders before the game. And we were there Almost 2 hours before the game. We had won a “Meet and Greet” with Jerry Jones,and The 92 Cowboys. And the entire DCC squad. After shooting pics for what I found out later to be 4-5 hours, he still stayed and talked with me and my two brothers!! He was just a down to earth guy. Worrying about same things us mere mortals worry about. Think of that day everytime I hear anything from them, Esp this song!!! Great reaction Berch and Lex!!

[@tinakeith5822]

LOVE LOVE LOVE SCOTT STAPP & CREED!!!! I love Scott’s solo music!!!! His songs are sooo relatable!!!! Now check out the prequel to this song called NAME!!! I’ve seen Creed 4-5 times and I’ve seen Scott solo once. He does put on a fantastic show!!! I can’t wait til March when his new album is released!!!! Justify Hit me more Slow Suicide Purpose for pain Broken (this is very relatable) Jesus was a rockstar Higher power So many more

[@ricoalvarado54]

Great song always reminds me of my Boy who's 23 now ❤

[@greghamann2099]

I got to see them in concert. I got lucky because they played well that night. Not always the case back then.

[@balansboy]

SO glad Scott got clean and sober and got his life back on track. Watching recent KZbin videos, it looks like he sounds as good as ever. And hoping for a full Creed reunion. They are reuniting for a "Creed Cruise". Also, the Texas Rangers have used Creeds music to motivate them during this playoff run. They were all at the Rangers game last night hanging out together as guests of the Rangers. Was great to see them all together just hanging out.

[@WWStudio360]

Ok that's a great opportunity to go back tot he 90's. Fuel do one from them.

[@Muffin192213]

Very powerful song and the 90's and early 2000's was such a competitive and transitional time in music that a lot of bands were hard pressed to stay on top.

[@chipmchugh5556]

The video depicts symbolism of all the bad and sinful things he has done or lived. Represented by the meteors. Then you see him in the water being born again and changing his life now that he'll have a child. Scott's dad was a preacher and alot of his music has religious symbolism.

[@cocoboobenstein]

Hi Guys. Another great Dad song is Mike and the Mechanics “Living Years”. Prepare for a good cry.

[@rodelacusar99]

[@joeyrogers7017]

This always takes me back to the time in my life when I became a heavy drinker. Things went downhill slow then fast. I may be in the minority, but I desire looking back at that time because it reminds me of what I don't want happening again. Sober nearly 7 years now.

[@brianegert2664]

Great song very vivid imagery

[@jonthomson8392]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@HarryPotter-dl3kb]

Along with this song my favorite is Michael W Smith "Hello Goodbye" Alexis may not like this one because it deals with the death of a child. Up to this point I wondered how people could function with such underlying grief. The day my wife "at the time" miscarried our 5th child I found out. I found myself carrying on conversations as a spectator. I felt so disconnected from myself, so distant, so lost. I hope you review this, it would mean alot.

[@ErnestoSanchez-ce2fu]

Creed was a Christian based rock band, even though they really didn't introduced themselves as a Christian band, but they did from the get go. As a Christian myself, and not knowing the story behind the song, I did not see the lyrics as though coming from a dad to a newborn,... but rather, my Heavenly Father God expressing His love for me as I had just gave my life to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And throughout the song God was telling me... "with His arms wide open" how much He loves me and how my life was going to change and "become the man I was meant to be". A father's role non-the-less but... my interpretation came from my Heavenly Father - Jesus Christ. Powerful lyrics, really.

[@StalkingButler]

No

[@davidkennedy6227]

​@StalkingButler can't let you off the hook with a simple no. I'm curious what your thoughts are if not what he just said

[@allenwhitmer8192]

Yes. I remember it like Ernesto said, they were a Christian Rock band that sounded so good, people didn't notice or care and they were played on all the rock stations, and on the Christian Rock stations. IIRC Scott said this song had a dual meaning, you could choose which one you wanted for yourself. Similarly, Debbie Boone had a song called You Light Up My Life, which everyone assumed was a love song and it was played non-stop on all the pop radio stations, even though she said it was a song about her relationship with her God

[@ErnestoSanchez-ce2fu]

@@allenwhitmer8192 Awesome Allen. There are a lot of artists out there that have created lyrics that had "the relationship with God" behind it all - but never present it to the public listener. The only ones (without having to tell me and you),... that are going to be able to hear is as a spiritual song or addressing it to Jesus Christ,... are the ones that already have a relationship with Christ. Because the sheep knows the shepherds voice - and He speaks through people without them even knowing it. It will minister to those that will listen for "the message behind the song". Bless you bro. ☝

[@allenwhitmer8192]

@@ErnestoSanchez-ce2fu Bless you, too, Ernesto. I kept thinking of another song that crossed over to the pop charts, and even the country charts, but couldn't remember the name. I don't know how, but some people thought it was a love song, although the message was clearly a Christian song. Then it came to me. It was I Can Only Imagine, by Mercyme. I had the CD and had to smile at some of the girls I knew that wanted to borrow it and had no idea what it was about. I let them. Another song that is clearly about God and having a relationship with Jesus is none other than Norman Greenbaum's Spirit in the Sky. People just think it's a cool classic rock song. Lol

[@davmtu]

This is the radio family friendly mix. There is another mix more in the style of Creed metal sound.

[@barryhall5125]

I sooo much empathize with that fear of taking the baby home! My wife and I were like "Y'all just gonna let us walk out of here with this baby?! Like we know what the hell we're doing? WE DON'T!" And we didn't have the internet to look anything up. I would think that's very helpful and would allay some of the fear for well intentioned but ignorant new parents.

[@JDawg8733]

I thought so too at first but I he mentioned in the earlier videos that he put an ad out and she responded and is local to him. And that she was a good fir. Just two people from different generations vibing and giving their own perspectives on what they react to. That's what makes then the best reactors

[@garyandtricia1]

I never understood all the Creed hate.

[@roywall8169]

It must have been Stapp hate, since Alterbridge gets none of the hate. They did exist during the height of the New Atheists, so maybe it was his open faith lifestyle? 🤷‍♂️

[@gabrielholguin3689]

Brother not sure if you know this cuz I am surprised you didn’t mention it but Mark, Scot on drums , Brian on bass are in Alter Bridge since 2004 & still going strong but even better with Myles Kennedy who sings for Slash. AlterBridge blows Creed away. Show Alexis Watch Over You or Word Darker Than Their Wings but live with an orchestra, it is mind blowing the notes Myles can hit & Tremonti is a hell of a singer now too. Check it out if you don’t know. Great reaction brother🍺

[@SuperDamon10]

It's not a parent song. It IS a dad song. This is our internal struggle as fathers.

[@matthewvade6553]

I saw Creed live in 2000, and of the 70-80 concerts I've been to, I'd have to rank them number one on the list for how they sounded. Other bands like KISS, Def Leppard, or Bon Jovi maybe put on a better "show" with all the pyro, lasers, flame throwers, etc. but I can't think of one that sounded better. I'd say Judas Priest and Skid Row (on their first tour before Sebastian started losing a small part of his range) came close, but I'd still put Creed just above them.

Actually before your baby was born if you took your car with your car seat by the local fire department, they would help you install the car seat properly, so that is safe to bring your new baby home

[@Dano_in_Texas]

I get emotional every single time I hear the lyric "...I hope he's not like me..." And I think y'all should check into Alter Bridge...it's basically Creed revamped. Singer Myles Kennedy is one of the most amazing rock vocalists of the last 30 years. 2 songs stand out, for me. "Who'll Watch Over You" "Blackbird" Studio versions are phenomenal. But the live version of Blackbird that's probably the most watched version on KZbin...guitarist Mark Tremonti just blisters the solo. Kennedy's voice wasn't 100% that night, as free was battling...I think it was the flu. Anyway...Birch, if you've not heard either one before, I think you'd really love those songs.

Jimi Hendrix was once asked on a talk show how does it feel sitting there being the greatest guitar player in the world and he said he doesn't know they would have to ask Rory Gallagher.Rory concerts are amazing, very high enery, amazing guitar playing, a ton of passion. Rory sold over 30 million albums thru the 1970's. Thank you.

This is to the comment below @ErnestoSanchez-ce2fu. Creed was never were a Christian based rock band. Never. Scott wrote those songs based on his upbringing and how strict his father was about faith and religion but he has said a million times that they never intended to be that. He wrote about his experiences growing up under his fathers rules. The problem is most, like yourself, put that title on them because of the lyrics in some of their songs. This is not intended to be disrespectful, as I respect your opinion, however, I know this first hand having known Mark for 20 years. There's nothing wrong with Christian rock but Creed was a hard rock band that got labeled and received way too much bad press and unwanted hate. Today, I love Alter Bridge, Mark's band, and what Scott is doing with his solo career. When your 58 and have been a fan since day one, you do your homework, and I know these guys like the back of my hand. Long live @creed and @alterbridge
