"Committed" a four pieced acoustic rock band from the Lake Ray Hubbard area of Dallas, Texas was formed by two young men Austin Bello and Caleb Turman who began playing guitar together at the age of 12. Not long after coming together the duo discovered that they had a knack for writing music. The group was later rounded out when they found two others who shared their passion for acoustic music; enter Drew Beilman, the band's bass player and Johnny McAnally, the drummer. In a short period of time Committed had developed their own music flavor that was influenced greatly by the artist/bands "Dashboard Confessional" and "Dave Matthews".

Passionate live performances really give the audience a euphoric high; the audience leaves with a tangible comfort and happiness every time they play." - The Door / Dallas, Texas "We recently had the band Committed play at our club and found them to be a very creative, high energy acoustic rock band. They brought a lot of enthusiasm and audience participation to the venue that night and we all had a great time. Great music and great people is what we're all about and the band Committed represented our venue well." - The Ice House / Rockwall, Texas "They display a genuine love of life and sing in such a way that they are sure to make a favorable impression. After their first performance they became an instant favorite at our park, and repeat performances were in great demand." - Hawaiian Falls Adventure Park / Garland, Texas.
Caleb Turman & Austin Bello are now part of Forever The Sickest Kids

What It Means
Committed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This song, What It Means by Committed, is about a person who is struggling to communicate with their significant other. The lyrics suggest that the partner is saying things to make themselves feel good, but the singer finds them to be insincere. The singer is afraid to express their true feelings, fearing that no one else will understand. However, the singer values what is inside a person more than material things, status, or other external factors.
The singer acknowledges that their partner has a 'jealous nature' and a deep-seated desire to fit in with others' lifestyles. The singer sees this as a problem, but also realises that it's a part of who their partner is. Even though their partner will 'latch on' to a certain lifestyle, they will eventually abandon it. The singer is therefore not going to try to compensate and pretend everything is okay when their partner falls short of these expectations. Instead, the singer values something deeper – the person's character, their values, and what makes them unique.
Overall, the song is about the importance of communication in a relationship, and valuing sincerity, genuine character, and true connection over superficialities, material things, and fitting in with others.

Can't understand it, all these thigns you say make you feel good.
I'm having trouble comprehending why you say certain things that bring you happiness.
And I'm afraid if I don't say it, maybe no one would.
I'm worried that if I don't express my thoughts, no one else will.
Because these words mean so much more to me than any of these things you say makes your life complete.
The words I want to say have a deeper significance to me than the things you believe give you fulfillment.
And I'm not going along with these things you say we need, and I won't try to compensate when you don't succeed.
I won't agree with the things you say we require, nor will I attempt to make up for your shortcomings.
I can't overlook it-- your jealous nature and your need to fit in to someone else's lifestyle.
I cannot ignore your tendency towards jealousy and the way you try to conform to somebody else's way of living.
You'll latch on, but you know you'll quit.
You tend to attach yourself to things, but you're aware that you'll eventually abandon them.
Because what's inside means so much more to me than any of these things you say makes your life complete
What's on the inside has more worth to me than anything you believe is crucial to your livelihood.

Hi teacher!
May I ask you the exact wording of your greeting?
Do you say "Hi, dear students!", in which case I don't recognise the pronunciation of the word "dear"?
Do you say "Hi, there students!", in which case I don't recognise the stress of the phrase (I'd expect "Hi there, students!")?
The subtitles say "Hi their students!", which seems to me completely meaningless...
Many thanks in advance.

the best and most useful explanation that I have come across
it is difficult for a foreigner to understand how one word can mean the "committed a crime/suicide" and "serious relationship"
now it's became more clear, thanks!
