Reconcile – Be Damned
Wow! This song is beyond a Christian rap song. It speaks to many people on different levels. What makes this song so great? It touches on real topics. It is a song that is very emotional and it is about never giving up on a relationship. If you think about it this can also be applied to our relationship with God and Christ as well.
However, the main theme of the song in the video is a man and woman in a relationship. The man is pleading for forgiveness from his spouse talking about all the things he’s done wrong, saying please forgive me. As the song says, the singer pleads within his lyrics saying, “I’ll be damned if I just let you walk away from this,” which is so true. When you really love someone when you really care enough about the relationship you don’t just give up and walk away. You don’t just throw in the towel.
What makes this song truly great is that those principles and those elements within the lyrics can be transferred to any type of personal relationship. Whether it is with your spouse or an even more important relationship that you have with God and Christ, think of the parallels. If you are seeking to grow in your faith you don’t want to give up and abandon your relationship. You always want to have God and Jesus in your life. You stay and you work on the relationship. You don’t give up on them, just like you ask God and Jesus to not give up on you. The same thing can be said of our spouses as well.
As far as this piece of music is concerned, this Christian rap song is the most mellow out there. Putting the beats in the background aside, which are phenomenal, you focus on the vocals and the lyrics. You have an astounding piece of music. Reconcile delivers such a soulful performance in this song. He really gives it his all in every bar that he sings. He puts so much emotion into singing these words. The song really leaves an impact on you.
