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.
Resolution
Pillar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you've been stuck inside your mind
Do you let fear motivate you
Or does it complicate you
Leaving you a step behind
You're left with no one standing by your side
You try to justify your lies
Don't let this aggravate you
There's no need to apologize
We all need resolution
You can find your way through
There's only one solution
You've gotta find what you're looking for
You've been hiding in that weak disguise
Hoping no one sees your foolish eyes
Don't let that intimidate you
Don't let it separate you
From all the ones who question why
Just keep on reaching for the sky
And you'll find out its not that high
When you let love elevate you
When you let it gravitate you
You're in for the ride of your life
We all need resolution
You can find your way through
There's only one solution
You've gotta find what you're looking for
Don't let the moment pass you
Don't let distractions blind you
Don't let question stop you
Don't let the answers miss you
The lyrics of Pillar's song “Resolution” send a message of overcoming fear, finding your own way, and searching for answers despite any obstacles that may stand in your way. The first verse highlights the importance of not letting fear hold you back, and not allowing yourself to be left behind while others move forward. The second verse touches on the idea of being true to yourself, without hiding behind a “weak disguise,” and not allowing others to intimidate or separate you from your truth.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of finding resolution, while reminding the listener that they alone hold the key to their own answers. The line "there's only one solution, you've gotta find what you're looking for" reinforces the idea that ultimately, the individual must navigate their own path in search of their own resolution.
The final verse encourages the listener to live in the moment, avoid distractions, and not let questions or answers slip away. The last line, "don't let the answers miss you," is a powerful reminder that we often hold the solution to our own problems, but we must remain aware and focused enough to recognize it.
Overall, "Resolution" encourages the listener to be brave, true to themselves, and proactive in finding their own path. It's a message of empowerment, reminding us that we have the power to create the change we seek in our own lives.
