Stryper - "Do Unto Others" (video)
Many concerns
Simple frustrations
Respect is what we yearn
We are offended
Easily on cue
Often unfriended
Without a single clue
If we could step back
To see what matters
We would call off the attack
Break the hate
And watch it shatter
Do Unto Others as you would
Have them do unto you
Often it's a thought misunderstood
But one we must pursue
This life is too short
To waste a day
And worry about
The games we often play
Look to the future
It’s shining bright
It’s really not hard
To choose what we know is right
It’s simple choices
We make alone
If we would think of each other
Maybe we would heal
Not suffer
Do Unto Others as you would
Have them do unto you
Often it's a thought misunderstood
But one we must pursue
Συνεχίζουν ακάθεκτοι οι Stryper καθώς κυκλοφόρησαν τον δωδέκατο "ολοκληρωμένο" στουντιακό δίσκο της καριέρας τους υπό τον τίτλο "Even the Devil Believes". Πότε; Σήμερα...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Once again proving their lasting durability, iconic rock band Stryper returns with their 13th studio album, "Even the Devil Believes". Filled with the band’s signature riffs, harmony-laden melodies and positive themes, the 11-track project is Stryper’s first studio album with Perry Richardson (Firehouse) on bass and background vocals.
“We’re incredibly happy to write a new chapter in the book of Stryper,” says vocalist/guitarist Michael Sweet, who has served as the band’s primary songwriter since its inception in 1983. “This album was recorded during the pandemic, and I believe the message pertains to the times we are living in so perfectly. It’s a recording of hope and inspiration and a light in the darkest of times.”
Sweet, who also produced the new album, revealed that the band members delivered focused determination, a collaborative spirit and spot-on execution for the new record. The result is a collection of remarkable songs that will leave a strong impact on listeners.
“It has an energy unlike any other album we’ve done,” he asserts. “We even pulled a song from the past that has never been heard or released, and by doing so we brought a little bit of 1989 back into the mix.” Standout tracks include “Blood From Above,” “Make Love Great Again,” “Do Unto Others,” “How to Fly,” “Divider,” and the heart-stirring ballad, “This I Pray.”
“The music and lyrics are rock-solid,” says Sweet. “God really blessed this one and hopefully it will bless everyone who hears it as well.”
Stryper is renowned for its distinctive brand of “heavenly metal,” extraordinary crossover success and venerable endurance. The group ascended to prominence in the 1980s with Billboard Top 40 hits like “Calling on You,” “Honestly,” and “Always There for You,” and has maintained a global fanbase ever since.
Stryper is the first band to ever have two songs in MTV’s Top 10 simultaneously with their hits “Free” and “Honestly.” To date, the Dove Award-winning and GRAMMY-nominated band has sold over 10 million albums worldwide.
Today, some 35+ years after emerging from the southern California nightclub scene, the foursome continues to record, tour and perform for loyal fans around the world. Comprised of original members Michael Sweet (lead vocals, guitar), Robert Sweet (drums), and Oz Fox (guitar), plus the addition of seasoned bassist Perry Richardson (formerly of Firehouse), the group finds itself creating their finest, most powerful music yet.»
