1. Pillar is composed of Rob Beckley (vocals), Lester Estelle Jr.(drums), Noah Henson (guitar), and Michael "Kalel" Wittig (bass). These Christian rockers with an alt-metal edge have been honing their infectious sound since 1998 while attending Ft. Hays State University in northwestern Kansas. A deal with Flicker was inked in 2000 after the band's self-released debut, Metamorphosis, impressed the label. Within months, Pillar followed things up with Above. Their first single, "Open Your Eyes," was popular on the college charts, earning Above nearly 60,000 in sales. Pillar also earned the Best Rock Band award at the annual Dove Awards in 2001.
A year later, Pillar relocated to Tulsa, OK, and released Fireproof. MCA picked up the band and reissued the energetic sophomore effort in 2003. However, MCA shut down shortly thereafter and Pillar returned to Flicker, and released their next album, Where Do We Go From Here, in 2004.
In 2005, Joey "Cinco" Avalos, formerly of Christian rock trio Justifide, was added as a second guitar player. He was never an official member of the band, and only played live shows. He no longer does, as he is playing in the newly started band "Stars Go Dim".
In Pillar's 2006 release, The Reckoning, the band stays true to their style while experimenting with new sounds. Pillar was nominated for the "Best Rock/Rap Gospel Album" Grammy with this album.
On Pillar's fifth album, For The Love Of The Game, frontman Rob Beckley says this:
“We get to say that we play rock ‘n roll for a living. We get to see lives changed. We have a renewed love and focus. With that in mind, making For the Love of the Game was very fun, and very fluent; it just came out. We went into the studio knowing what the album was going to be called and we were able to carry the vision through. We wanted to have a positive, bright, fun sounding record. That was our intent from the beginning. We trust that as people hear this record, God will use it to change lives. That’’s the ultimate fuel for our fire. When someone tells us, ‘‘your music changed my marriage, or brought me closer to God,’ that’s when we know God is using our music, and that’’s what it’s all about to us.” ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
Written by MacKenzie Wilson and Abel Ringvold
Pillar's sixth album, "Confessions," was released on September 22, 2009, claiming to show an evolved style but at the same time sticking close to the formula developed in For The Love Of The Game.
2. Pillar was a band that consisted of Dave Walker, who would later on do vocals for Harvest and Krakatoa, and Justin Kane, who would go on to drum for Disembodied and Martyr AD. Not much is known of Pillar other then a demo released in 1993, which was produced by Cad Dziewior (Threadbare, 108, Judas Factor, etc.)
3. Pillar was an emo band from Regina, Saskatchewan. Released their full length "Everyone is as Terrified as You Are" in 2001.
Let It Out
Pillar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we look around and we don't know what to say
How did we lose our way? I don't know if we'll ever really see a change
If this is how we show our thanks, I think it's time we rearrange
I don't know if we'll ever really break away
We've been holding on for so long now, I think we're scared to run away
I don't know if we ever really learned to pray
So, I drop down to my knees
Let it out, can You hear me?
Can You hear me cry?
Let it out, don't hold back, all this I got inside
Let it out, can You hear me?
Can You hear me cry?
Let it out, don't hold back now
We've got to let it out
I don't know if we'll ever really be the same
Or could it be that we feel a sense of shame?
We forgot from where we came
I don't know if we try to make it all a game
I think it's time we take the blame
And get back, rekindle this flame
So, when I cry out, are You listening?
I know You can hear me, I know You can hear me
You're my Comfort, can You hear me?
I know You can hear me, You're my Comfort
Can You hear me? Can You hear me?
The lyrics of Pillar's song Let It Out express a deep sense of disillusionment with the world, but also a glimmer of hope that things can change. The first verse questions whether things will ever get better, and expresses a feeling of being lost and disconnected from the world around us. The singer wonders how we got to this point, and whether we can ever truly break free from it. Despite this, there is also a sense of urgency in the lyrics, a need to take action and make a change. The chorus calls out for help and release, urging listeners to let go of their emotions and reach out for comfort and support.
The second verse continues this theme of questioning and self-reflection. The singer asks if we will ever be able to return to the way things were, and suggests that we may feel a sense of shame at how far we've strayed from our roots. However, there is also a sense of responsibility in the lyrics, that it is up to us to take ownership of our mistakes and work towards a better future. The final lines of the song are a call to action, a plea for help and a reminder that we are not alone in our struggles.
Overall, Let It Out is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the universal human experience. It acknowledges our struggles and doubts, but also our hopes and potential for change. The lyrics encourage us to be honest with ourselves and others, to ask for help when we need it, and to believe that things can get better.
