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.
Will you be there
Pillar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never thought we'd be here
Moments passing by, I'm losing you
So much that I never knew
I couldn't bring it out of you
Caught up in the history, it won't let you go
Go
Will you be there?
Will you be there?
If I fade away tomorrow
Will you be there?
Will you stay here?
Tell me it's not over
I can't see it anymore
All the love is passing by, I'm losing you
Of all the things I ever said
Never meant so much regret
Hard to see the future if the past is in the way
Can we find a way?
When the sun comes up tomorrow
Will you be there?
Will you be there?
If I fade away tomorrow
Will you be there?
Will you stay here?
There is just one thing about you
It's I just can't live without you
So I'll just keep holding on
When the sun comes up tomorrow
Will you be there?
Will you be there?
When the sun comes up tomorrow
Will you be there?
Will you be there?
If I fade away tomorrow
Will you be there?
Will you stay here?
The lyrics to Pillar's song "Will You Be There" tell a story of a strained relationship on the brink of falling apart. The first verse paints a picture of someone who feels they are losing the person they love, and they are struggling to keep the relationship together. They admit to not knowing everything about their significant other and feeling like they can't bring it out of them. The second verse is a plea for the relationship to continue, with the singer admitting to regretting things they've said and acknowledging that the past is getting in the way of the future. The chorus repeats the question "will you be there?" multiple times, asking if the person will still be around after the sun comes up or if they'll stay if the singer fades away.
Overall, the song is a powerful representation of the fear and uncertainty that can come with a relationship that feels like it might be falling apart. The singer is desperate to hold on and unsure if their efforts will pay off, but still hopeful for a positive outcome.

Tell me when it's over
Ask me when our relationship is finished
Never thought we'd be here
I didn't expect our relationship to come to this point
Moments passing by, I'm losing you
Time is running out and I am losing you
So much that I never knew
There is still so much I don't know about you
I couldn't bring it out of you
I wasn't able to get you to share your deepest thoughts and feelings with me
Caught up in the history, it won't let you go
Your past is holding you back and you can't move on
When the sun comes up tomorrow
Will you be there?
Will you be there?
If our relationship continues, will you still be by my side tomorrow and beyond?
If I fade away tomorrow
Will you be there?
Will you stay here?
If I were to leave this world, would you still be there for me and remember me?
Tell me it's not over
Please tell me our relationship isn't finished
I can't see it anymore
I am having a hard time seeing a future for our relationship
All the love is passing by, I'm losing you
I feel like our love is slipping away and I am losing you
Of all the things I ever said
Never meant so much regret
I regret everything I have said that may have hurt our relationship
Hard to see the future if the past is in the way
It is difficult to move forward if we are still holding onto our past mistakes and regrets
Can we find a way?
Can we work together to find a solution and save our relationship?
There is just one thing about you
It's I just can't live without you
So I'll just keep holding on
Despite our problems, I love you and can't imagine my life without you, so I will keep fighting for us
