A Song for The Underdogs.

We spent a lot of hard work, our passions, emotions and energy into putting this music video together as a band(The Beautiful Discord) and I know I speak for the rest of the guys when I say, we are thrilled, excited, stoked, pumped, amped...you name it, that's how we feel about releasing our first music music video.

Life is difficult, it's full of trial, struggle, tribulation and it doesn't get easier as you walk through. The amazing thing is that, as believers we have a hope in Jesus Christ, a secure and unmovable foundation that gives us even more than an amazing hope for the future but confidence and security for the here and now. God doesn't abandon us to the storms of life to wither and die. He uses our trials and struggles to point others to the reality of the cross and Jesus' sacrifice for us. Even when all hope seems lost, God has not and will not give up on us. He proved it to us by sending His Son Jesus to die as an atonement for our sin.

We have all felt at one time or another(I know have) like the "Dark Horse", the underdog, the one that everyone seems to be against. It's unjust, it's not right but it's reality. People are sinful and  broken, we've all been the "causers" and "casualties" of brokenness. I chose to shoot and record "Dark Horses" because I feel that it's an expression of a place that we've all been and if we haven't, we will be at some point.

God uses the good and the bad in your life to make you more like His Son Jesus, remember, nothing is wasted, not even the broken.

"And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ"

Philippians 1:6
