How do my dood?
Today i am listing and linking my top 10 fave Skillet songs and this is a tough list because i love this band to bits since 2009 first discovering the band from a WWE video game called smackdown vs raw 2010 of which two songs appeared in the game. Those songs will be on the list but where will they appear i wonder?
Upon hearing those two songs i did some googling on them and was amazed to find out they were Christian Rock. I was like "How is this possible? Christian music i thought was gospel choirs and stuff not meaningful powerful rock music" it turned my life upside down a bit. That's why you should respect and check out all genre's of music. A lot of their songs obviously will be referencing God and religion of which i know already but i will just explain what i feel is being passed off.
If you were to ask me who are my top 3 bands of any genre it would be this
1: Pantera
2: 30 Seconds To Mars
3: Skillet

10: Feel Invincible - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmk_cTMqF58
I am kicking the list off with their newest song out right now and it has become easily one of my faves of theirs. From the headbanging intro to its catchy spoken lyrics and catch chorus and verses this song is so awesome and it does show the band go intro a more electrical sound if you get me? IT DOES MAKE ME FEEL INVINCIBLE! Check it out.
9: Rebirthing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTbKorqc56o
First time i heard this i had chills. This song literally to me is just explaining of some people how lifeless they can be and then suddenly be introduced to a new meaning of life and have them spring back to life. This song is basically all about that process of rebirth. It's epic!
8: Never Surrender - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjvonONtvcs
Sad slow build into what is an absolute beautiful masterpiece all about never giving up or rather simply put never surrendering. Fun fact when i first had my first video camera i wanted to make music videos and this was the number one song i wanted to go out and record me walking through the rain singing or lip syncing this song. I still want to do that :P Self loathing,depression i get the vibes of those in this song and wanting to feel like someone else or to feel better whilst the key words is to not give up and just to keep on pushing through lifes pains.

7: Whispers in the dark - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B58OBfM-8A4
A strong rock love song here i feel and it is one of my faves and the third song i ever heard by the band and the chorus just gets me singing all the time. It's all about love a strong love for a person whom you want to turn their unhappiness around really. It's a passionate song and the solo by god is it sexy.
6: American Noise - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyvMtQaphkI
Powerful soft heartfelt song here all about the bad aspects of the american life and how gathering together we all can make a difference in the world we live in. It's one of those songs you cant help but to sing with a smile :)
5: Awake & Alive - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aJUnltwsqs
The mix of voices with the strings and the rock elements make this an epic piece of music. Don't let the negative's weigh you down and live your life how you want to live it is the feeling i get from the song.
4: Fire & Fury - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRi3Ln6HGqU
I utterly love this song the first time i heard it was tearing up because its beautiful the mixture of voices and just the instrumentals just make it perfect. What is it about? A relationship which is having some issues i believe.
3: Comatose - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZNCrLV8W_M
What a song. It to me describes the feeling of losing someone and then just dealing in the grief wanting to be reunited with them. Another popular meaning of the song is how you are desensitized by sins left in a coma so to speak and god is the only way you can wake up by accepting him into your life but hey what ever the meaning is you can not deny this song kicks ass!
Just in time for number 2 is HERO! Hero is the second song i heard from Skillet it also featured on that same wwe game as monster. Ordinary people can do extraordinary things when the need arises, so I think they're talking about everyday people who step up to sacrifice themselves so that others can live. The music video features a dr,a firefighter and a marine all of which i believe supports the meaning further. Another thing i want to add is the funny things people say regarding the just in time lyrics saying the hero of the song is Justin Time which is like what? Then it makes some sort of sense but nah its just a joke bro.
1: Monster - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mjlM_RnsVE
Catchy,heavy,awesome,epic. This was the first song i heard by them and i was like "Holy shit! what is this?!" I checked them out and was in love. Love at first sound. The growl "I feel like a monster!" gives this song a huge impact aswell. If you have not heard of Skillet GET THIS SONG ON RIGHT NOW! If you know Skillet well the same applies. THIS SONG IS THE DEFINITION OF AWESOME!
Honorable mentions: ALL OF THEIR SONGS!
Thus concludes me list ol chums, let me know your thoughts.
