  • Joseph Alan StockardI was in a car accident and i survived my caretaker was taking me to the hospital i was depressed and a car was doing a illegal u turn. we hit her car and i was in the back seat i almost broke my neck. i was in the hospital for a week and a half i just can't seem to understand why this song was going through my head when we got into the car accident. i guess it was God telling me that i'm still loved and that i will survive the car accident it's like in the song it say i was in the front seat asking if you felt alright my caretaker was asking me that it's kinda crazy it's like she knew what was about to happen. i still don't understand why i had to go through all of this now i have PTSD from the car accident i'm scared to get into cars now if i get into a car i get scared that we will crash i don't know if it's because i'm weak or scared i really want to know.
  • AnthonySomething about Andy's voice makes music he makes so much more compelling. When you MO live, the entire crowd is silent as he sings. He just has a very captivating presence in both his recordings and his performances
  • Shellbell from North CarolinaI had been listening to a random list on Spotify on my way to work. This song came on and I loved it. The music, the voice, the tempo. But as I listened a few times, it sounded like a young man who was being sexually abused by a man or men.
    I could feel a hot one
    taking me down
    For a moment, I could feel the force
    Fainted to the point of tears
    And you were holding on to make a point
    What's the point?
    I got to work and looked up the lyrics and thought the same thing. Then I looked up the song meaning. I don't get that these lyrics go with what you are saying. But it is your song, so you should know. ha ha! Anyway it is beautiful and I am glad you are a Christian man. God bless!
  • Caitlyn from Royersford, Paeveryone get simple math right now!!
  • Cherry from London, United KingdomQ: Your lyrics seem to take religious imagery in rather odd directions. "Manna is a hell of a drug" recalls the blessing that God provided for His people when they were in the wilderness, but it also sounds like something Rick James might say if he lived during the exodus. What are you trying to convey through these sorts of songs?

    A: (Andy Hull) That lyric is from the song "I Can Feel a Hot One", which i wrote right after getting off tour last summer. I had a few days off so my wife and I went to the beach and hung out and I kind of decompressed these emotions that you build up on tour. Touring is something that is hard on any relationship I have. Whether its with God, my wife, my family, or the guys next to me...its just always moving, never steady. Point being, towards the end of this tour I had a moment of silence in the back of the van and I cried and cried. Sometimes your body just has to cry and cry I did. It was 3am, and I'm covering my head in the back of the van so I wouldn't make a scene and I listened to "It's Hard to Find a Friend" by Pedro the Lion, a record I've listened to a thousand times before and a thousand times after...but that night it meant something more. There's an amazing line on that record that says, 'i would like to be you just for a few habit forming years laziness cuts me like fine cutlery.' And I was in so many words, moved. The song (I can feel a hot one) talks about that night and a combination of a few other 'losing it' moments from tour. All in all, manna is an amazing concept. The story goes that God gave them more than enough food to survive, but He required faith. If the Moses led group took more food than they needed just for that day then the food would spoil...and they continued to take more than they needed. That's kind of the perfect example of the way I stumble through life- always wanting more, never being satisfied, but continually being blessed for something I don't deserve."

  • Vanessa from Fort Worth, TxI'm not sure why this song is so meaningful to me... I still can't figure out what exactly it's about. I've read different opinions and even different lyrics. A car crash? Abortion? Drug addiction? Suicide?
    I don't know.
    I just know I love the lyrics.
    Well what I think the lyrics are.
