This song is ENTIRELY about feeling spritually reborn and one with God. Im not religious but POD was very accepted considering the masses hadnt really heard this type of christian nu metal or any real form of mainstream Christian rock. The lead singer has been on podcasts recently the past couple years talking about their spirituality and how it shaped the music for them. Also some troubles it caused.

[@Nessa_the_Embroidery_Nerd]

I remember when they toured with hed p.e. Like who tf came up with that lineup!?

[@Flowerscr1983]

Amen!

[@davidmassey6332]

P.ayable O.n D.eath - your soul, that is. That’s where P.O.D. Comes from. Or at least that’s how it was explained to me when they first came out

[@keithguinan4057]

I'm an atheist, but I love the dedication and work that p.o.d. put in to their beliefs. They produced some incredible songs. Their song "The Messenjah" is as good as anything they've ever written

[@abhorrentlullabies9947]

First song I ever heard from P.O.D. was Southtown. It’s still my favorite of theirs.

[@richieherlinger4545]

P.O.D. being a Christian band who broke into the mainstream, and this song is all about a spiritual thing. I'd say that the lyrics "Now that I know you, i can never turn my back away. Now that I see you, i can never look away" is in reference to Jesus. Basically he's saying that now that he's accepted Jesus, he can never turn away from that acceptance. And now that he has Jesus in his heart, he feels so alive for the first time.

[@sammyp4216]

that's literally what this song is about and they've said that in interviews it's written about the first time someone finds god and knows he's real. Whether you believe in him or not that's what the song is written about.

[@topherschneider4324]

Smokey was correct on finding religion, and it's in the name of the band P.O.D stands for Paid On Death. They did a free concert in a park in Colorado, near where my cousin lived, and he went to the show and was chosen to come on stage to sing the background to "Youth Of A Nation"

[@richieherlinger4545]

It's actually "Payable on Death," but close enough.

[@5linx4lif]

I worked at Atlantic records when they got signed and meet them once during the recording of this album and heard the demo of youth of the nation and loved it. I saw them live and they were so energetic that it made you feel so alive. That album is always an A+ for me.

[@kristaspecht]

My fav quote is "you either suffocate with fear or explode with passion. You are the alchemist,you decide".

[@joanniesalaiz1853]

I just saw P.O.D. in September last yr. They were so terrific and awesome. I get to see alot of tribute bands and real bands for free at Speaking Rock Casino Indian Reservation. And no teenagers have to be 21yrs old or older. I love P.O.D. it's about the 3rd time I seen them. Thanks guys I love their song sleeping awake. Well take care Hollywood and Smokey. So stay cool and real and awesome. Keep up the great work love ya both ❤ Dueces ✌️✌️ always

[@timothyhester3652]

I've seen P.O.D. live 3 times. The first I will never forget. They were touring churches not having broken into mainstream yet. Project 86 and Blindside were opening for them. Both openers had gotten through their own sets. The crowd was building (on the second floor of a small church) awaiting P.O.D. to take the stage. The small space was packed and electric with anticipation. They hadn't broken into mainstream yet, but had a huge Christian youth following. They took the stage, all were hyped, they had everyone bouncing immediately. About 2 and a half songs into their set, they abruptly stop playing mid song. There are shouts to get back. The crowd is evacuated. Come to find out the floor was actually caving ... and that was the end of the show. Ultimately (to my knowledge) no one was hurt, but I'll def never forget that show. That two and half song set and the two other mainstream era times I saw them were all great. Even if you're not religious, you have to appreciate that they make good music and the lead is a talented lyricist.

[@DEZaster13]

You should check out their song “Goodbye for Now.” You’ll be surprised to see a certain female singer before she became a famous pop star.

[@Nickbragg97129]

Katy Perry!!!!!

[@jacobherman2315]

I definitely recommend p.o.d. Sleeping awake which was on one of the matrix movies in the 2000s

[@jc2004x]

Saw these guys twice. First was a small show radio contest to win ticket. Second was when they opened for Linkin Park

[@pin-upmariposa412]

This song always makes me smile because I listened to this song when I had a hard time in my life. Some people like to deal with dangerous situations. It allows them to feel more alive. Great reaction as always.

[@danieldiaz6747]

Gotta check out goodbye for now by P.O.D , you won’t be disappointed.

[@jonfazzone5125]

Is that the Song with a young Katy Perry singing on it ???

[@danieldiaz6747]

Idk who that is

[@IamError87]

@@jonfazzone5125yes it is. Great song. And great collab

[@locustkllr]

POD- Satellite, Southtown, Goodbye For Now, Tha Messenjah, Execute the Sounds, Sleeping Awake, and there's no way you haven't already done Youth of the Nation.

[@ShanLH5]

You are correct, they did Youth of the Nation 😊

[@bigdaddypiggy]

This song EXPLODED after 9/11 ….i saw them at Ozzfest 2000 I believe it was? The 1 with Static X,Godsmack & Pantera….man what a concert 🤤🖤I was never a big nu metal fan but a good song is a good song & this is a good song

[@kristaspecht]

Morning fellas! Haven't heard this song in a long long time. Very very good song! I like P.O.D! Very good choice!🤓❤️

[@codydrummer]

I loved POD growing up. I was raised a Christian (and still am) so a band playing this genre but singing about God was amazing. Especially since it made my parents happy that they could buy this CD from the local christian book store.

[@stephensutton2546]

POD is Korn for Christian kids, and I can dig it!

[@alexanderromero293]

Nah there’s other Christian bands that sound way heavier like korn

[@TofuBug24]

P.O.D. is 100% a Christian band. There name is short For Payable On Death i.e. your salvation of accepting Christ is paid off when you die because you go to heaven. There's a lot more Christian bands out there that are amazing than people realize. Skillet, Demon Hunter, Fit for a King, For Today, The Devil Wears Prada, August Burns Red, Disciple, Mastedon, Project 86. And that's just off the top of my head. Seen a LOT of them live over the years including P.O.D.

[@jonfazzone5125]

P.O.D.’s new Single “Afraid to Die” featuring Tatiana from Jinger Wonderful New Song from Them

[@RafitoOoO]

Even if you're not religious this song has such a positive and vibrant energy. Fun fact, I was a teen when this song came out and since english is not my first language and I wasn't religious I interpreted it as feeling alive because of someone, so I used to play this song a lot for my first gf and had so many good memories. Turns out it's about accepting Jesus, and it's what makes POD such a good band, they're capable of talking about their belief without getting preachy.

[@ravenlockhart0925]

I saw Linkin Park in concert and P.O.D was the second performance, followed by Linkin Park as the headliner. Story of the Year was the opener. Such a great show

[@jamesherbert9017]

You should definitely check out another of their songs "School of Hard Knocks" It's another banger!

[@FirstNameLastName-io5co]

Taylor Hawkins had a great saying. Whenever someone would ask him what it's like being a rock star and he always answered with, "I don't know, because I'm a musician." R I.P. to a fucking legend!

[@allengator1914]

P.O.D. is dropping a new album "Veritas" on May 3 this year.

[@darrellmetcalfe3615]

"Rock the party" best pod song

[@FirstNameLastName-io5co]

Y'all gotta watch the video for the POD song Goodbye for Now. There is a cameo from someone who you wouldn't think would be in a POD video.

[@ShanRenee70]

I love this tune! My favorite quote is "When the pain penetrates, the music resonates..." Need to check out Red, they are a great Christian rock band!

[@Irish13Fighter]

Check out their new singles one is with Tatiana from Jinjer and another one has Randy from Lamb of God called Drop.

[@Betsone_]

Bro these guys are hometown boys Cool af people. Seen them in backyards during sandcastles in Imperial Beach They just released new music…🙏

[@kaceylinne344]

more p.o.d is needed - boom, satellite, beautiful

[@trenchy1990]

Now you've done POD, gotta check out Ill Niño

[@KenBober]

They were good back in the day. The old drummer moved onto terror universal. No clue who the new drummer is.

[@williamshepard9186]

The original lead singer has a band called lions at the gate.

[@melturgeon1]

Great one guys 🤟My fav quote is be yourself everyone else is takin ( translate from a french quote )

[@Nessa_the_Embroidery_Nerd]

My sister won tickets to a POD show at a legendary area venue. When I asked if they sucked she said, "Hell, no! I was so drunk they were Pink Floyd!"

[@gennyreese420]

😂 that might be my new favorite quote! Tell your sister I said thanks✌🖤😎

[@Nessa_the_Embroidery_Nerd]

@@gennyreese420 will do! I still laugh about that!

[@Flowerscr1983]

Yes!!! i havet herd this in ages and now I this song has a whole new meaning! Thank you!!!!!!

[@eljefebridget]

Back in 2001 I pretended to still be interested in an ex boyfriend to go see P.O.D. since he had tickets. Was it mean? Yes. Do I regret it? Nope.

[@Ryan-ws3yf]

🔥Love the reactions guys🔥 Keep it up If I may, I'd like to suggest the songs No Lies or City's on Fire by 3rd Strike They were a band from the SoCal area that I feel would have been one of the Nu-Metal greats if it wasn't for the vocalist's unfortunate death. They only got to release one album but it is an absolute banger.

[@user-be2jq9ry7y]

This hit big right after 9/11 and brought a lot of comfort to a lot of people.

[@pillboss1987]

Check out Hatebreed- “I Will Be Heard” I’ve been requesting it for a long ass time

[@NightcrawlerLuver]

Oooh been a while since i last heard this one. Such a good song.

[@David_Theisen]

My favorite quote is “The Force will be with you always” or “May the Schwartz be with youuuuuuuu what a world what a world!!”

[@chrisfogle1238]

POD Here Come The Boom is awesome and full of energy

[@proudmoon3]

Please do literally anything by the band ❤RED ❤! (Pretty sure they qualify as nu metal--though they're not afraid to use classical instruments like violins, too!) "Let Go," "Breathe Into Me," "Faceless," "Feed The Machine," "The Evening Hate"...almost 20 years worth of amazing music, but this is a good starting list! Another band you need to check out is 💙TFK 💙; they're hard to classify, but sort of in the same vein as Linkin Park.

[@kuriousstylez]

P.O.D.-I Am. One of the most gut-wrenchingly beautiful songs. For all the "outcasts" who've been hurt by the church or religion or whatever. It's easily one of their best.

[@ShanLH5]

‘Be yourself, everyone else is already taken’ ‘We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars’ ‘A good friend will always stab you in the front’ ‘Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much’ - Oscar Wilde I could go on… I told you he was a witty fellow! 😊

[@gennyreese420]

Badass and inspiring ❤

[@ShanLH5]

@@gennyreese420 I love Oscar Wilde! His writing is full of witticisms 😊

[@darthjayder2927]

This song really shows their Christian roots

[@KenBober]

All i can keep thinking is "i can fix that car" my 87 supra was about that damaged when i restored it. I would say terror universal is nu metal but im not quite sure. Its what you get when slipknot and mushroomhead have a child band and ffdp is the godfather.

[@thebeastreviews9443]

Addicted by POD

[@tomnorthcutt4754]

they got a bunch of bangers

[@tomnorthcutt4754]

south town is my fav i remember when they came out in 99 lol

[@codydrummer]

Forgot to include my weekly request for SP Lit by Chimaira. Another song to check out is "Panic" by From Ashes to New. They are a new band that's taken up the Nu Metal flag and makes some great music.

[@russelltheluvmuscle9362]

Thanks guys I just yelled out my bike in Pee Wee's voice😂, It's damn near 2am I can't be yelling this ridiculousness.

[@dvaderwasframed]

Good song. I had never seen the video

[@pqiptesdana81]

My favorite quote is "Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead." Anyone know who wrote this quote? I know who of course lol.

[@gorilla311]

Southtown and Boom are hits you probably heard and don't remember.

[@gennyreese420]

This is one of those songs for me that of course I knew, but I had no idea who did it, great to put a band with a song. Thanks guys! “ When you live in reaction, you give your power away. Then you get to experience what you gave your power to.” - N Smith “I care not for the religion of man whose dog or cat are not the better for it.” - Abraham Lincoln “I believe in peace, bitch.” - Tori Amos ✌💚😎✨

[@rolltide91011]

Based off this song and "Youth of the Nation", which are admittedly the only 2 songs I know from them, I would call them Christian Rap-Rock, or Christian Rapcore. They "rock", but they don't exactly scream "metal" to me. And I'm not sure if the christian/spiritual thing is apart of the rest of their catalog or not. But anyway, doesn't really matter to me what they would be classified as, I just know I fuckin' love these songs.

[@proudmoon3]

Love your favorite quotes, guys! And more POD would be great! Boom, Satellite, Goodbye For Now...just pick something!

DROWNING POOL "TEAR AWAY" FOR THE NEXT NU METAL MONDAY!!!.... also, favorite quote of all time "it's not about where you've been, it's about where you're going"

POD got a lot of hate back in the day. I'm not sure why. They never got the respect they deserved.

A song you should react to, it's not your usual stuff and it might actually break you so have tissues to hand. James Blunt - Monsters (you have to watch the actual video to get the best reaction).

Do yourself a favor and listen to the uncensored version.

Great reaction - you should check out: Rush: By-Tor & The Snow Dog (Lyrics) Don't watch the live version, because they cut half the song. The song is about the producer's two dogs: a German Shepherd nicknamed By-tor (biter) and a poodle nicknamed Snowdog - the song is about the two dogs playing in the snow. You can hear a representation of the Shepherd growling and the poodle yipping - it is hilarious. Neil Peart created an entirely new mythology with the lyrics of this song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2LZnatolsSUeqc
