We Came As Romans - Understanding What We've Grown To Be

[@Brixwa]

Kyle singing “I’m alive” at the end makes my heart wrench. Can’t believe he’s gone.

[@BIGGESTBENWA]

It has not gotten easier 😔

[@carmelam3400]

Since yesterday I was thinking about him :( we miss him so much.

[@ralphiegoesrawr]

"my future started with the first note that I ever sang".... That always hits me in to plant a seed

[@Shanx_Trxrs]

Rest in peace Kyle, this song changed my life and I will never forget it 💔

[@albertocruzramirez6478]

@Zack the Great Drummer Kyle was the clean vocalist.

[@aleksey0722]

@@albertocruzramirez6478 damn... so sad didnt knew, he was so good

[@ttjesus4959]

Me too, man. Me too...

[@thelittleowl1]

Kyle played keyboards and synthesisers and did all the clean vocals on the first 2 albums and the majority on the last 3.

[@thelittleowl1]

I became a fan after his death. I can see how good he was tho. His vocal ability is more shown in the last 3 albums.

[@ThisIsDarknessZine]

R.I.P. Kyle Pavone... "Tonight, when I look into the sky, I know this is why I am alive."

[@leandroproenca3299]

This is why I am Alive. 2024 🎉

[@NillyBillyWilly5]

We Came As Romans really need to be more recognized. They are so powerful and lyrics are so deep, that it can relate to many lives today. And actually save people. Hell I know it did for me, considering battling depression for over 4 years. (:

[@seekerofideals]

agree with you their lyrics are great really like to plant a seed.

[@b1rdf00d]

I was okay with everything you said up until you said it can save people. I hate when people say that.

[@NillyBillyWilly5]

Ninety-Two lol reading back on my comment, i realize its a basic fandom thing. Sorry bro XD

[@b1rdf00d]

Jao Jao thats cool man

[@Foodoftheearth]

We Came As Romans have saved my life, and they continue to inspire me in the most positive way. Regardless of what anyone says, if it weren't for them I probably wouldn't be here today. Thank you for being my heroes.

[@SilverDaysFail]

I love them too. I hope you continue to be the definition of greatness 🖤

[@carmelam3400]

I totally understand you. They have inspired me to keep on going and never give up.

[@ThyHarvesting]

Always will be my fav album by them, I just hope Kyle understood what he grew to be

[@davidfore5428]

He truly was an amazing guy. After my mother passed in 05 I found this band and their music. They always played shows in my hometown. I went to a show that following year and broke down in the crowd. Kyle stopped the show pulled me to the side and talked to me like a real human. And ever since then when they came to town we always got together and talked about life.

[@NightElveee]

wtf! man, i never knew there was a video, this song has soo many good vibes such a positive song

[@domattaway5594]

David Fore damn I really fucking wish I got the chance to meet him Rest In Peace Kyle

[@mushfek]

OMG NO! His smile his voice kept me alive every single day :'(

[@FrankReynolds182]

We'll miss you, Kyle. RIP brother.

[@JohnM_816]

"Tonight when I look into the sky, I know this is why I am alive" I miss you more than you'll ever know Dad. These 6 months without you have been hell.

[@DaveConnellGuitar]

I listened to this album a lot during my mums passing. I'd never seen this video before. I came back to it for the first time since. Just finished watching the guy hugging his mum at the end. I'm crying dude. Rip Kyle thank you so much for this relic :)

[@jaccigallus1547]

Anyone here in 2024?

[@MerkoniumJones]

[@MerkoniumJones]

Had the pleasure of seeing them play this live when the album came out. It was intense

[@ahrenscat8517]

Rest In Peace Kyle :( we will miss you

[@HoChiMints2007]

it's been a decade. this song is still in my 'good metalcore' folder

[@melissafranciscolo2000]

RIP Kyle, this song always meant so much to me 😭❤️

[@mikelmanoff8203]

I'm so torn up over his death his voice has literally saved my life on multiple occasions. You were such an inspiration kyle God bless you and your family I'll never forget how much you helped me

[@OmnominWierdo]

This band is amazing, i can say i probably would've given up if it weren't for their music.

[@racheladams7074]

JoshRenteria same

[@jasdenyer9080]

I found this description of these videos that was apparently shared by WCAR (when they first came out i guess). I always felt like these three songs told a progressive story and I felt they were cleverly arranged in the album to show that progression. "The three videos we shot portray a person lost, confused and struggling to find purpose in life. He sees himself at his darkest in the first video, trying endlessly to find his way out. After going through a traumatic experience, he finds his way out and his eyes begin to open to a new journey of finding out what really makes him feel alive. Through this journey the man traces back to his childhood house, where it all began. Overwhelming feelings wash over him as he remembers the feeling he once had long ago. Now, with a sense of purpose, he embarks back into the world to take the path he should have taken long ago"

[@crowntheundead2807]

Tonight, when I look into the sky I know this is why I am alive.

[@imasexyhamburger]

This band has one of the cleanest vocals for singing and screaming. So audible! I love it!

[@MAKEOUTVIILL]

I used to play an online game called S4 League. I watched all kind of S4 League Montages on KZbin in 2011-2012. Somebody used this song in one of those videos and it’s been in my music Library ever since. I decided today to look up this song on KZbin because I really wanted to see the face to the voice I've been listening to for the last ten years. Turns out that he passed away and I'm heartbroken.. Long live

[@b0rNc0nFO0sED]

I like how at the end it says "this is your second chance"

[@sadiawillmosh6219]

This song is deep br0s .I have tears ._. Anyone else ?

[@hapki9]

This song saved my life in 2011 RIP Kyle ❤️

[@sahmie16]

"Tonight, when I look into the sky. I know, this is why I am alive."

[@davidbaudouin8073]

this song makes me cry almost every time I listen to it

[@erinlaboricua]

That happens to me too.

[@Sedition-]

have you tried therapy?

[@HerdaPrabadipta]

Some songs gets people emotional from what they have been through. Get with it bunny dude

[@davidbaudouin8073]

yeah.

[@HoChiMints2007]

Man, this song's so good it gave me goosebumps

[@Enya338]

I cannot listen to this song without being a sobbing mess by the end. I miss Kyle.

[@Seafaringslinky]

Easily one of the best bands in existence

[@greatguardianking3979]

Words can't describe how impactful Kyle's lyrics were...Rest in peace Kyle Pavone. You are a legend now, "Your home is in our hearts."

[@RH-bd5qe]

WCAR is so amazing. Such an incredible band. They'll never get the credit they deserve unfortunately, but I'll cherish them forever

[@popeyedave8253]

All the lights, Were too bright to see the spark That I've been missing for too long. Something I've been missing for too long. My empty cup, Could never fill another. I have spilled all I've had, To make things better. But the love of all others, Has made me new. My empty cup, Could never (because of you) fill another. (I am made new) I have spilled all I've had, (Because of you) to make things better. (I am made new) We've all been broken So let us make each other new. So let us make each other new. I've died inside every time I tried To lie to myself about feeling alive, alive. To lie to myself about feeling alive, alive. (I've died) All the lights, Were too bright to see the spark That I've been missing for too long. Something I've been missing for too long. All these distractions, Kept me from seeing what I needed all along, An understanding. I am speechless tonight As I stare into the sky. I feel endless compassion, forgiveness, and love, I feel everyone who is looking up sharing this, I feel unexplainably alive. I need to understand what we've grown to be. Tonight, when I look into the sky I know this is why I am alive. Tonight, when I look into the sky I know this is why I am alive. So sing with me if you feel this feeling. So sing with me if you feel this feeling. I'm alive.

[@chaskasoccer1992]

anyone notice how the videos for Understanding What We've Grown To Be, Mis//Understanding, and Just Keep Breathing are all connected?

[@jacobgarcia4826]

awesome isn't it?

[@andrew2730]

what order are they in, if they have a chronological order?

[@jacobgarcia4826]

Andrew Deleruyelle Mis//Understanding, Just Keep Breathing, and Understanding What We've Grown To Be

[@racheladams7074]

James Meiers that's the point lol:)

[@erinlaboricua]

I've never noticed the "This Is Your Second Chance" at the end of the video before. This song already induces many thoughts, but that line just hit me really hard. They're my favorite band for a reason. They create music that means something. This is real.

[@jhonny357]

Erin Cajigas try Breakdown Of Sanity, they made some powerfull lyrics

[@gavingleason1552]

😊love ll😊l ol 🎉🎉🎉

[@P1n0c0r3]

I went straight to give my mom a hug after watching this.

[@homeisneptune9315]

I was a mechanic for many years. We had a mega stereo we built mostly from old technics stuff. Still slammed and we used to crank this song. Miss those days!

[@DaClassiestMofo]

David is proof that some gingers have souls

[@Sky___Universe]

I don't know how he can scream like that for a long time its crazy

[@bryanlenihan5012]

NightSkyUniverse15 Practice

[@historyjunky1299]

Miss you Kyle. feel Privileged to of seen you live a few months before you left us. Rest in peace man

[@scoffel13]

their lyrics are amazing. i always use them when people think that all i listen to i "i slit my wrist ...."

[@actualamateur149]

WCAR was one of the first bands I got to see live in 2012 at South By So What!? and that whole ending section had me so emotional, and I remember singing along with Kyle and the crowd like it was yesterday. I'm grateful.

[@Drum4evr22]

they're not underrated... they are up there with everyone else.

[@Kyle-n5x]

Kyle and Chester Benington...The two GREATEST voicalists of our age...gone TOO soon!! They saved my life many times, and I WILL tell them when I see them again. HELL ISNT REAL!!

[@wyliehj]

RIP Kyle :(

[@Taydavis160]

These guys really have some of the most intellectual lyrics I’ve ever seen. They never miss.

[@jbfreshh]

Rest in peace Kyle. Heaven gained an amazing angel today.

[@JorgeTambley]

everyone knows kyle cant be replaced , theres no man in the world can sing high and give us peace with his voice

[@claudiacasasola3198]

I cry at the end every single time.

[@charlomand3r]

This sounds kinda awesome with the rain outside…

[@jackaboo10]

the clean vocals are one of my favorites of any band! love it :)

[@doglover57468]

Because they have a message of hope, love, compassion, brotherhood, learning from past mistakes, and growing as a person. So

[@downer1523]

Whoever dislikes this must be either a Bieber Fan or is Deaf because all I hear is orgasmic music being played!!! Keep it up WCAR, you never dissapoint!

[@jacobgarcia4826]

what's really funny is how some of you guys think they're singing about them understanding what they've grown to be as a person. NO! They're singing about understanding what they've grown to be in God.

[@imouttamymind17]

Because they have a message of hope, love, compassion, relationships, and brotherhood. It's saved a lot of people from giving up on their life.

[@elinchristina]

They label themselves as definitely not a Christian band but some of the members do have a strong faith in God and it comes through in a lot of their lyrics.

[@tommyjcarpenter]

damn man, this hurts after KP. RIP. also this video is very sad when he goes back to visit his mom - I shed a tear man.

[@CRISPYFRESHMAN]

Best Song Ever... WCAR are the best

[@wepooted]

Beyond words. WCAR has changed my life, they made me relieze that I am alive, and nothing is as bad as it seems. They are a band I will never forget, and always remember their story. Thank you WCAR and I can't wait to see you guys in heaven!!

[@waterfalleyes]

their voice reminds me of their old stuff. and their old stuff give me so many memories ..

[@jameslowther7841]

Rest easy kyle! This was one of my favorite songs and it got me through everyday! You were way to young... Your voice and presence will be missed by millions

[@JaKamps]

316 th view! The love of God can TRULY make you new! I agree with all of this song, except the love from all others can not completely make you a new person again, but with God all things are possible! : )

[@RokaiKupo]

The song that got me into the band. Rest in peace.

[@haileehealy8423]

I remember falling in love with the lyrics 💖💖 he was one of the dudes I adored when I was in middle/highschool 😢 ugh I'm high & crying, this was so unexpected I stg 😩💔 I need to remember to "be alive" 💫

[@JoshYouUhh]

"The three videos we shot portray a person lost, confused and struggling to find purpose in life. fter going through a traumatic experience, he finds his way out and his eyes begin to open to a new journey of finding out what really makes him feel alive. Through this journey the man traces back to his childhood house, where it all began. Overwhelming feelings wash over him as he remembers the feeling he once had long ago." Thats all I could fit but thats a quote from their Facebook.

[@reaperinred11]

Almost brought me to tears tonight. I have no idea why.

[@kmbrlyyy]

RIP my heart is broken

[@KingLomeli58]

i like how Kyle does his high karate kick in the beginning he wants to be the ultimate ninja lol This band is one of my favorites and they kick motherfreakin ass

[@rottingprophets]

Thank you to WCAR for being the reason I'm still here today. We miss you, Kyle. Every day.

[@raininjuly1236]

I remember watching his video for the first time six years ago. Now as I rewatch after hearing about Kyle's passing, I realize just how much he and his music have impacted my life in such a positive way. This song meant everything to me during my hardest times, and now the voice that gave me solace is no longer here. Kyle, you will always be loved and never be forgotten. Rest in Peace.

[@AKB48andSimplePlan]

Yep We Came As Romans is such an underrated band.

[@LiammJH]

I've finally came to the conclusion that WCAR are the greatest band of their time. Lyrically they're simple, but yet effective same can be said about them musically. Such a perfect band and i'm so stoked to be seeing them live on Tuesday!

[@TonyJ93]

omg no adverts, is this heaven

[@CrayonCommander]

Anybody else see the "This Is Your Second Chance" at the end of the video?? WCAR Never fails me, keeps me going.

[@TayDaviesRawr]

Love This Song!Plus Today I Got A WristBand That Say "We Came As Romans" And "Understanding What We've Grown To Be" X D

[@09kaykay23]

trust me dude, i was the same way, been 3 years now. and im doing ok, never thought i would, keep your chin up and realize that you need to stop being sad and be awesome instead.

[@zanderj9335]

We miss you Kyle.

[@jorgefarias5792]

RIP Kyle, saludos desde Chile

[@avenero6583]

Rest in peace, Kyle. I'll never forget how we met in Leipzig.

[@zachbarfield8529]

Both are excellent song! I love the positivity that this band bleeds! They have to make a song that isnt up lifting, saving, impowering. These guys music have saved me from pulling the trigger on myself. After listening to this and "Just Keep Breathing" I am now on a amazing journey of re-birth. Keep putting out great music WCAR!!!

[@warriorthawitt9971]

Damn, this band helps with my depression a lot. And so does A Day To a Remember! Sometimes I get so low to where I wonder if I should be here but, those lyrics "TONIGHT WHEN I LOOK INTO THE SKY I KNOW THIS IS WHY I AM ALIVE!" Help me out a lot. Fuck metal elitists who say "bands don't save lives" yeah they do! And I'm sure bands like Amon Amarth/Nightwish have saved lives as well.

[@Lil123Jonnie]

I'm not a Metal Elitist BUT the band's don't save lives. You saved yourself! They weren't there to stop you from pulling the trigger, cutting yourself, drinking/ swallowing pills, bleach etc.. It's all you and will always be you, they're words help you through tough times, but they didn't personally didn't save you. Don't let anyone ever take that from you. Again, I'm not an Elitist but you have yourself to thank, they just helped talk you through it! Have a good Night.

[@bignugsteve27]

Fire and Ice Tour is going to be Unbelievable !!!

[@thephenomodification]

eargasm

[@deshpurnomo]

i cant find the reasons to stop loving this band... oohhh i just burst into tears.. lol

[@rumblethejungle]

I like WCAR doing videos like this. Music videos now don't tell any stories, and their last few have done just that. Nice job WCAR

[@sizeablealarm101]

the guy that said you had a nice taste in music and an awesome background on your channel.

[@Jonnnyb1]

After hearing the sad news today, this song becomes more powerful and meaningful than ever. WCAR saved my life a few times with their music: its such a shame to hear hes gone😓

[@shzzznttt21]

APRIL 28, 2012 is going to be awesome!!! can't wait to see these guys to perform in MANILA, PHILIPPINES!!! :D

[@musicworld-dh4iq]

It has officially been 2 years. Love you Kyle, rest in paradise.

[@raulrojas3599]

Hits home so hard

[@raulcmompar]

The best cleaning voice ever.!!

[@Blubbernuggetsrox]

We Came As Romans is literally the definition of perfection. They don't have a single bad song. And they all have really deep meanings, I love you WCAR

[@dabricorn6140]

Forever ♡

[@FJMiller14]

If you don't get this video, don't claim to understand what this band's grown to be either. P.S., I love this video. It totally speaks to me, considering I've been there.

[@crystalvanover6405]

Still a fav 💔

[@marisavilla7]

i love this band and this song more than life♥

[@markospapanikoloudis7218]

and one of the best screamers around.

[@TobascoVelasco]

This song is the closest thing to perfection

[@unfathomedfears2.wh0a19]

I'm kinda glad they stay underrated because if they went mainstream, they would sell out. Yes, they deserve more attention, but if they got it, it would mean the end of them

[@lilpeepshow7179]

I'm crying right now rest in paradise Kyle to a legend. He had such an original couch when he sang nobody sounds anything like him

[@JoshRay405]

I really think that We Came As Romans is prolly the one of most inspirational bands out there if the not the most
