Creed is an American rock band from Tallahassee, Florida formed in 1994. Creed was prominent in the post-grunge movement of the late 1990s and early 2000s, releasing three consecutive multi-platinum albums; their second, Human Clay (1999), received diamond (11x platinum) certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Creed has sold over 28 million records in the United States, has sold over 53 million albums worldwide, and was the ninth best-selling musical act of the 2000s.
For most of its existence, the band has consisted of lead vocalist Scott Stapp, guitarist and vocalist Mark Tremonti, bassist Brian Marshall, and drummer Scott Phillips. Creed's first two studio albums, My Own Prison (1997) and Human Clay (1999), were released to commercial success despite unfavorable critical reception; Marshall left the band in 2000. Human Clay remains one of the best-selling albums of all time and contained the Billboard Hot 100 number one single "With Arms Wide Open"—which also won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Song. The band's third album, Weathered, was released in 2001, with Tremonti on bass guitar. Creed disbanded in 2004; Stapp pursued a solo career while Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips founded the band Alter Bridge with Myles Kennedy.
Creed reunited in 2009, releasing their fourth album Full Circle and performing several tours before separating again in 2012. After an eleven-year hiatus, Creed reunited once more in July 2023 and announced their headlining of the Summer of '99 cruise festival in April 2024.

2. Creed was formed in 1977 by vocalist Steve Ingle and guitarist Luther Maben. Enlisting the services of Hal Butler (keyboards), James Flynn (bass), and Chip Thomas (drums), they were soon signed by Asylum Records. Their self-titled debut appeared in 1978 and was notable for "Time and Time Again," an epic southern-style guitar workout, comparable in stature to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird." Unable to attract enough media attention, the band split up shortly after the album's release.

3. There is also a German Christian metal band called Creed. They have released at least one album called "Sign of Victory" on the Pure Metal label in 1992.
Stand Here With Me
Creed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
helped me believe
All those memories we share
I will cherish every one of them
The truth of it is there's a right way to live
And you showed me
So now you live on in the words of a song
You're a melody
You stand here with me now
Just when fear blinded me
you taught me to dream
I'll give you everything I am
and still fall short of
What you've done for me
In this life that I live
I hope I can give love unselfishly
I've learned the world is bigger than me
You're my daily dose of reality
You stand here with me now
On and on we sing
On and on we sing this song
'Cause you stand here with me

I dedicated this song to my mother, about 20 years ago. She'd already dedicated the Rod Stewart version of Forever Young to me, when I was much younger, and I carry that memory honorably with me, so I'm glad that I found a song that encapsulated my feelings and experiences with her, and love for her, in return, and she, being a Creed fan, warmly received my gesture. The memories of my journey with her are fragmented now, as she passed away 12 and a half years ago...but yesterday would have been her 70th birthday, so I've been reflecting on that, in a bit of a somberly-retrospective mood. I'm not ashamed to say that I cried, when I listened to this song again, after a number of years. Mom, we went through one heck of a crazy journey together, but I'll always remember your love and support, and the encouragement you gave me over the years. I'll see you in the Bosom of Abraham again, some day. Greet the patriarchs and saints, and the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, from me, in love. 💋

One of my favorite songs on the album! I know it sounds weird to say this, but Creed was the best concert I've ever been to! I saw them live with my mom (RIP) back during the 2012 Human Clay tour, I'm telling you, these guys had that crowd more hyped than any other bands I've seen at that venue.
Creed sounded exactly like the album, Scott's vocals were freaking perfect, everyone was killing it.
I will cherish that memory forever because my mom was with me, she passed away in January of 2018 and she was my best friend.
Her name was Kim and she was 56yo when she passed away, she was a beautiful soul and she made me who I am. RIP Mom, I love you and I miss you very much. 🙏❤

Sounds just like me and my mom, that song helps with the hurt, when me and her left my dad we used to ride around together and jam this cd, I'll never be healed until I'm with her again

This song doesn't get nearly enough credit. Mark absolutely killed it here. That solo is chef's kiss.

First Creed song I've ever heard and I was instantly a fan.
Haven't heard this song in a while but as soon as the intro plays I'm transported to the past.
Creed will alwas have a special place in me.
