Life with open eyesPlease don't pass me byLife, don't pass me byLife, don't pass me by This really spoke to me that I need to make the most of my time on earth and live each day for God.

muy bonita

tenth avenue north is an awesome band I listen to alot of their songs great song😄

13 dislikes:{ are u people dented in the head. the other song got 14dislikes. what the heck. May god forgive u. Don't listen to the haters u guys always exceed our expectations,

Yes but it is encouraging as a Christian to see that the ratio of likes to dislikes is 13 to 1'239. I feel sorry for the people that dislike Christian music. They don't realize the hope that we have that Jesus has already saved us. Although once they become a Christian they will realize how hard the struggle truly is sometimes, but at least God carries you through all of it. Even the times your doubting him. I don't know if I'd say that we'd want to dent them in the head, but we must realize that God has them in His plan too and that he loved them as much as us to die on the cross. It's just that these people haven't realized yet that God has already claimed them as His own. That's why we need to spread the good word! :)

What's sad is that they must've come here JUST to do that. It always gets me how POINTLESS life is without Christ.

How has this not gotten more views!

@Christian Abraham hey is your name actually Christian Abraham or you just put that here?

Yes, my name is actually Christian Abraham.

@Christian Abraham thats so cool! Its amazing how God works that way

I agree. I just hope that people wont look at my name and think that I'm some kind of special person. I am thankful I'm at a point in my life where I'm being led by the Holy Spirit and I realize that Jesus wants everyone to be in his family. The love of Jesus is what I want to spread around to everyone.

@Christian Abraham amen!

i wish i could live as if i were not "just getting by"

you can :)

this song is almost 2 years old and has less than a million views, how sad...

Simplemente pasar de todo

Everytime I hear this I think of just seeing you guys live and how the lyrics to this song just rocked my world. 

what... this is such a dope song, I did not expect such a good ep from them, tbh. Candy, I love it

This song is so me right now. Lord, please break my hold on the fantasy worlds I live in. No matter how daunting reality seems, Father hold my hand and let me see your beauty. Please remind me that the only way out of my circumstances is through and Lord you are right there with me so I can do all things with you. Thank you
*2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;*

Yeah I escape life with games I never want to deal with it I run somewhere more controllable in my life such as a game

+Bob Willy (SpartanDrag0n1) I know what you mean..my escapism is in obsessive fiction reading..it's slowly ruining my life BUT there is hope in Christ and with His help I will live my life to the fullest by overcoming my fears and refusing to let my dismal circumstances affect my inner peace and love for a better life. You can find this relief too.. Let go and let God, He'll never let you go..

I totally get what you mean with the fiction. I write, so it's easy to live inside my head when things get hard or, for me, think about the future to the point you don't even really live in the present anymore. I thank God that I came into contact with this song today! Jesus can tear that mess down!

Love their music! Cant wait to see them and Matt Maher live on Saturday!!!!

Want to see them in Louisville... worth the 3 hour drive or no?  hmm... tough decision

I saw them in Nashville a few years back, they were amazing. I probably would make the drive if I had good friends to take with me, I have a feeling this Islands to Cathedrals tour is AWESOME!

Matt Maher sounds legit.  Wasn't sure since it's during Tabernacles.

I want so much that they come in Brazil, I am Brazilian, I live in Rio de Janeiro and love ministerial work this band

I've run out of words to describe this band and their songs... this EP is awesome, can't wait for the full lenght album. 

I really love 1:58 - 2:23.

I can totally relate...this is me so much of the time...
(love the "ooh" parts!)

he sounds like Phil Wickham in this song... anyone else hear it ????

Yes, he does! I didn't know who he was, but I listened to some of his songs and his voice sounded similar, lol! :D

yeah!(:

There still is a difference between the voices, but yeah I agree :)

Awesome. Profoundly True.

Love it. Very INXS!

This is my new favorite song and came just when my boyfriend and I have been discussing and processing the concepts in this song. It was like the song was the perfect summation of what we're learning and how we're wanting to live our lives! <3

Im so excited to hear the new album!!!!!!

This deserves more views.

Plus I love that everyone can relate to these lyrics. There's such a great meaning behind this song, it's about how we live our lives. And I think that totally everyone can relate to it, not just Christians. I wish I could hear this song on a radio.

Me too.

Yeah, it really sounds like a mixture of Owl City & Switchfoot and TAN. Love it! ♥

I want to be all here now
Wherever I am, that's where I'll be found
Staying present even in the fear now
Life with open eyes
Please don't pass me by
Life, don't pass me by
Life, don't pass me by
Feel a spark when we look each other in the eye ♥

Love it. Love the album, even though the whole thing isn't even out yet. Haha

I LOVE THIS!

They are amazing. Jeff's "oohs" are brilliant as well as Mike's voice. And the rest of the band! They have never done a bad song.

Love it <3! :)

There's a lot of Jeff's "oohs" in these EP's, lol. Oustanding song, guys!

Do y'all have any advice on how to live without "just getting by"? Not sure if y'all follow me...

Serve anywhere you are ;)

agree with sarah, and be true to yourself and fill your heart with lots of love.

"I want to be all here now
Wherever I am, that's where I'll be found
Staying present even in the fear now
Life with open eyes."

I think in order to live without "just getting by", we have to allow ourselves to meet with the circumstances, and more specifically the fears not just of the present but of the past that have affected us, and embrace them being 'fully there'. The only way though would be to in complete dependence on God (John 15:5) because there's no way we could battle these things by ourselves, and live with that much fuller, and meaningful purpose to life :)

Thought I'd put my two cents in, hopefully it helps. 
Find a church to commit to. As in more than just showing up on Sunday, look for a place where you can serve. And hopefully, having a close group of people doing life with you, they'll be able to give you a more concrete idea of what you can do. 
And of course, ask God. As some of the comments above said, rely on him fully. Ask him what specific things you can do, and faithfully move forward. Read your bible, because that's his usual way of speaking. 
Pray for Boldness, so that you can boldly and humbly serve and follow Christ. 

Is there an Islands tour coming soon????:) I sure hope so!

Love the new songs! They kinda have an indie feel. And lyrics are amazing <3

You have achieved making my new all time favorite song! You combined the sound of owl city Switchfoot and yourselves, with lyrics I can relate to. Pic need to go download it

Haha, I thought I was the only one who thinks that. :D Apparently not. Especially the beginning sounds like Owl City mixed with Switchfoot's Hello Hurricane. Oh my goodness, I LOVE THIS song. It's my favorite from their new EP, or at least a tie with Forgive Me. ;))

I love this! The beginning sounds a bit like Owl City. Had to check if I was listening to Tenth Avenue North. :) The lyrics are beautiful. Does anybody know in WHICH OLD SONG DID THEY USE THE INSTRUMENTAL PART  around 1:30 ????????? It sounds familiar to me, I think they have used it before or maybe it's just me as I've listened to this song at least 7 times, haha. ♥

@Elisa Melisa I'd if that was in another song but it's a keyboard

I cannot contain my excitement!!!!!

"Life can take a toll, everyday demands
So much energy, so many mundane plans
So we go digital, purely physical
Hey, it's just medicinal
We need to ease our minds"

AMAZINGGGGG

well, that was unexpected! It kinda sounds like a 80's / 70's song before the chorus... maybe it's because of the drums and the bass' rythm... and then the chorus is so cool and when it gets in "I'm just getting byyy" it's like "woah!". And the beginning is so different! It made me think that they were going to do another kind of rythm and then boom! Is it in E chord?

yep, me too! :) I really hope someone will cover it. I have seen one cover of NMIAI too and I liked it a lot! :D Btw, I saw you commenting on lots of videos I watched, bc I was searching for new unreleased songs by TAN, haha! :D :D It's great to see someone who loves TAN as much as I do.

HAHAHA lol *feeling popular*

@NarniaAravis I absolutely LOVE your username. Seriously!

Oh, thanks. :) Haha. :D You're the first person ever who said that. :D I used to read those Narnia books and to watch the films when I was younger... wait... I still do. :P

I read all of the Narnia books when I was younger :P great times..

FINALLY! LOVE THE SOUNDS. <333 MUCH LOVE

Yes! New music <3 love it!!
