Nonpoint – Frontlines Video, the Emotional Life of Soldiers

admin — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000

The band Nonpoint has been together since 1997, and three of the four original members are still very much in love with the fact that they play music together. The song Frontlines is inspired by all of the military soldiers that are out on the “frontlines” fighting for not only their own lives but for the freedom that so many people get to enjoy thanks to them. Nonpoint realized that one of the issues that soldiers are experiencing is that, while they are away people want to support and encourage them but when they get back home; they are often expected to just pick up where they left off. Very rarely do people recognize that there are emotional tolls that begin to be taken on these soldiers lives.

The video for Frontlines shows a solider that has returned home from the war and has had trouble separating what he saw and did while he was away from the loving home that he has returned to. He became so used to protecting and saving others that he felt the need to continue to do so when he returned home, there are also shots of the band in a national or military cemetery. Nonpoint’s lead singer Elias Soriano wanted to remind everyone of the bravery that the men and women of the military have to have in order to do the job. Nonpoint is also donating proceeds of the digital single sales of “Frontlines” to the USO and Soldier’s Angels foundations

Nonpoint – Frontlines, Marine Fights for Life

admin — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Nonpoints, “Frontlines,” carries you into the desert, crawling through the mud, into the belly of fear right alongside that marine that chose to be there, has to be there because it has to be done. It’s worth fighting for, it’s worth dying for, it’s freedom and everything that’s right. It’s knowing you might not make it back but doing it anyway with your heart in your throat, your pulse pounding, and your stomach twisting. That marine is going all the way and won’t look back, won’t regret a minute, not a second, of his life, of his choice because he’s giving it to others, to you. For anyone who has gone overseas and faced the beast, for anyone who has watched someone go, for anyone thinking about this path, listen closely, close your eyes, and picture hunkering down in the sand with a rifle in your hand, buddies at your side and at your back, everyone struggling to keep their lives on track, pictures tucked in their pockets of that someone who’s everything at home, maybe a cross hanging on their necks, whispering a prayer that they’ll make it back, dog tags rattling against their chests. Hold on really tight.

Nonpoint – Frontlines, the Perspective of a Soldier

admin — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000

We watch the news, we read the headlines, we listen to music, and we see movies about our soldiers at war. Many of us have been touched personally, sending off someone we know or love overseas; too many of us have been to the funerals, sat by a gravestone surrounded by a white sea of stones. Unless we have been soldiers, we don’t know what it’s like, we can only imagine it. Nonpoint’s “Frontlines” does its best to take on the perspective of a soldier, to get inside his head, to feel the fear, the courage, the unwavering faith that he has to carry with him every step of the way, each time he crawls on his belly or takes cover on the frontline, each time he writes another letter home and kisses that frayed picture of his family, each time he watches someone else fall.Never heard of this before? Get up to speed here. It’s a song that shows us any soldier that willing signs up to defend our freedom, fight for us, and fight for what’s right deserves the title of hero. The ordinary becomes the extraordinary simply by making that pledge to join in a war that may not end and defend us to the end.

Nonpoint – Frontlines Video, Marine Faces the Issue of Death

admin — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Nonpoint’s “Frontlines” video does just that, takes you to the frontlines with a marine. It takes you inside his heart, head, and soul, shows you with powerful images how death is always there for the soldier on active duty. From scenes with the family, to a full military funeral and the rows upon rows of white stones where so many of our loved ones sleep, the video is powerful, evoking strong emotions and bringing it all home. Viewers will have a greater appreciation for anyone who answers the call to battle, putting his or her life on the line, putting freedom first–for others in the world and for our own. Many ask why, why make the sacrifice? Why get involved in the fight for people that are not our people? The marine, or any soldier, knows the answer. It’s because someone has to take a stand for what is right, someone has to reach out and offer a hand up, someone has to protect the weak and be strong. The marine on the frontlines knows full well the cost, that he or she may never step on American soil again and holds on tight to everything America means every day.
