I went to college with the fella in the middle, Jonathan Calhoun. One of the greatest friends I ever had. I don't talk to him much now because he lives in Asheville and I'm about 300 miles away towards Danville, but seeing his success is amazing and not at all surprising. I still have old Snapchat videos from 2016 of him playing music at 2am in his apartment in the freezing cold! His history with music is really wild, and I'm so happy to see his success!!

Not only are these guys super talented, but they are men of character. They sang at the middle school I worked at a couple of years ago and stayed afterwards to talk with my students. I will never forget the love and kindness they showed. I hope you all win this!

I just saw them last night here in Johnson City TN. These guys are FANTASTIC!!!! They are original and passionate! This song was written to give hope to many people who are struggling!

This song is an anthem. It speaks of a hope that everyone is born to love. Howie does not understand that. Other songs like this are Simon's Song, Lift , and Fight Song. This song spoke very deeply to me and it made me tear up. I cannot wait for them to sing in the finals.

This song is a perfect soundtrack. It could do well on pop, country and ballad stations. Maybe even pop Christian stations. Handsome, wholesome guys and an inspirational song with positive lyrics.

This song hit me hard! After losing my son to suicide I can't get out of my depression, I gave up......this song gave me hope! ❤

This audition, I think ranks as in the top 3 of all the singing/group/musician auditions. Powerful, well written, well composed, well harmonized. Yes... Yes... Yes!!!!

This has such a special message in it. Being the wife of an Army Veteran who was disabled during service, this was his heart too.

That guy doing the higher harmony… amazing.

This song will be quite popular now I'm sure...this one audition will make them well known, they sounded amazing.

The way the other two provide that octave harmony is amazing. And their tones match so well, beautiful guys!!

I actually cried lol, the song is beautiful!!

wowooooo this song caught me, what a beautiful synchronization of voices and everything was spectacular... I just looked them up on Spotify, I want to hear more of Ashes & Arrows... These guys are geniuses....!!! I vote for them....!!

Lost my wife a while back. Have been struggling with all the negative emotions that come with losing the love of your life. This song reached me through the haze. I have to climb out of this to honor her memory. Thank you Ashes and Arrows! Howie, don't know to whom you were listening!

Ben (playing piano) and I were in ROTC together. He is one of the most passionate and genuine people I have ever met. If there was a piano on campus, he would find it and play some of the most heart felt music. I am thrilled for him and A&A.

Howie isn't who makes people stars.. We do and follow through with how you feel about them by supporting them and following them on whatever social media platforms they are using.. before you know it they rise to the top

Howie is out of his mind. He's given better, more positive feedback to contestants who come on stage to fart in Canada's Got Talent. These guys are incredible, loved that song.

Deserve golden buzzer

I’m glad they did an original, this was a great performance

I have listened to this song so many times. Every time I find it amazing. There's something magical about this song -- I guess it's the confluence of emotion, lyrics, the tune and great voices. This song is on par with Nightbirdie's, who is my all-time favorite. God bless her!

These guys are really good, howie doesn’t know music talent, these guys have what it takes to. It’s there own song and their harmonies are outstanding

I wish someone had a gold buzzer left for them!!!

After discovering this song... it has helped me SOOOO MUCH with all the mental pain I've been enduring... thank you for being on this show because I don't thinks you guys realize how many lives you've saved with this song!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!

They should get a golden buzzer!

Seeing such talented men team up to sing healing songs from the heart is soooooo healing to witness !!! You guys are a blessing in this planet and have a new supporter & fan 😍😍😍

These guys are gonna be on country radio in no time at all. Howie is usually off when it comes to music groups. They are brilliant.

Such a beautiful song for veterans... my heart broke.

No words to describe the way they sound amazing

Yes, we were born to LOVE... The world is too many hatred and fight while there's so little time to love each other. What an amazing performance!

Men who aren't afraid to feel...way to go!!!!

My arms had chill bumps i loved these guys

Oh wow....i can feel their voices in my heart.

To me, that was jaw-droppingly gorgeous. I agreed with the audience but wish they'd somehow cheered quietly so I could hear them better. I definitely want to hear lots more from this group and more of their original songs.

This song is amazing, no matter what Howie says. Hope you can come to Australia!!

I just heard these fellas in the patient room I was cleaning they rocked! Definitely listening to this song for the rest of my shift!

These guys are so good. Unique sound and rifts for each of them. It's the type of music that you really wanna listen to, not just hear.

Howie has become jaded, skeptical, and out of touch with reality. It's time for a new judge at that end of the table.

Inspiring and beautiful...that's music!❤🙏 ...and afterwards you still hear it playing in your head in a very good way!

They could take this performance and put it on the radio right now!! Perfect song and harmony! ❤❤❤ Howie doesn’t know talent except for comedy. These guys are excellent!

Got me in tears, beautiful, great harmonies, I'd buy that song !

His voice is sooo beautiful ❤❤ can’t wait to be on that show!!🫶🏼🫶🏼

Ashes and arrows this is a very touching song and super uplifting. Fills my heart with joy to know that moving always forward is always the answer and to never look back . Thank you for this song and keep on being you ! Amazing .

Fantastic. The chap in the middle has an amazing voice. I really hope that they win this and prove to know it all howie he is wrong.

I think this group is wonderful and so talented. I loved their performance and original song! They know how to connect to the audience and touch your heart...brought tears to my eyes. Thank you, Simon, Sopia, and Heidi for sending them through. They really deserved it! I'm rooting for Ashes and Arrows and hope they go far in the competition. 👏❤👏

These guys are amazing, quickly found them on Spotify

My daughter was in their video Keep Breathing, she was playing violin. I knew these guys were going to be huge. I love their harmony and lyrics.

That performance was soul touching. Howie is truly out of his mind.

Gentlemen ... brilliant, beautiful, heartfelt, strong. Thanks for sharing yourselves here. If anything ... the only thing I'd add is ... if there's any stops in there - take 'em on out! Love ya brothers.

I cried til I couldn't breathe... watched it again and cried even more!!! I felt it deep within!😭

This is showing all the record labels that we, as Americans, much prefer talent and a genuine good human over supermodel looks. Congratulations Richard!! I literally never follow this show, but you had me pulling for you!!

Omg, I love their voices, and I am going through something similar now. So this song really hit home. They got my vote all the way to the end. Awesome guys.

I was watching the show as my 3 yr old was playing with her toys and the second the young man started singing she got up and started swaying and dancing to the music. So they not only won me over but also my daughter😊 wishing them the best of luck in the show!

With everything going on, this is a perfect song!! They may not win but the can use this to springboard their career!

Their voices are perfect! I can only see amazing things for them in the future.

golden buzzer worthy ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Oh wow! Ciaran on the left is from New Zealand and I remember seeing him play a few times back when I was in college, circa 2014-16. Such a genuine, nice, talented guy. I remember a couple of his songs stood out for me - Hallelujah was a beautiful ode to the blossoming of new love, and My Kin is exactly how I want to feel when my children are grown 💛 Love hearing this and the new sound they have together! Inspirational.

Everybody in the auditorium, except Howie loved this song. It just goes to show you that Howie is so out of touch with the rest of the world and us, especially US as Americans, I've always thought Howie should go. This was a defining moment for him. This was absolutely. One of the best performances ever on AGT. As long as these guys are performing, I'll still be watching!! God Bless America, and what's wrong with some American judges: Matthew McConaughey, Beyoncé, Chris Stapleton, I got a list of a 100 or more… come on AGT producers,...What the heck?!?!

What people dont understand is the lyrics in this song. The power behind them and raw emotion it brings out of you is the true anchor to it all. Howie is nuts for not seeing that, this is a song that could save someones life.

That was awesome :) Respect. Its unfortunate that Heidi and Howie did not stand for that incredible performance

Really Howie?? This is a great song with an even better message that hits your soul. This song stopped me in my tracks. Fantastic job guys! God bless y’all!

THANK YOU FOR CUTTING THE INTRO SO I CAN REPEAT THIS OVER & OVER

New Zealand represent! Ciaran McMeeken WE LOVE YOU!

So proud of you Ben….you and Ashes and Arrows!! Keep rising, you are inspiring!

Incredible. Reminds me of very early Mumford and Sons, cross between a folk version of creed.

I loved your performance and was blown away by the lead singer's voice! Just beautiful; it touched my soul. When the other two band members joined in, I was so impressed with the amazing harmonization and became an instant fan! You guys are great and I know you will be super stars. I thought you might be a Christian band but see here you are a country rock band. You could do either genre for sure.. I absolutely love you!! Thank you for blessing us with your talent. I cant wait to follow you on AGT and beyond. ❤

I can hear this on the radio

One of the best performances of the season in my opinion. Hoping they have great success in their career, they have a great sound.

Howie has been so weird this season. I thought this was fantastic!

We need this right now all over the world. These guys are absolutely amazing. I have tears in my eyes, because we NEED this understanding NOW. It is time. We are LOVE at our core, beneath the ego. I sense Ashes & Arrows win the whole thing. Even if they don't win this competition, they will go far. Many blessings.

Wading through the darkest night When rivers become tidal I use my list to break the pain Hoping for survival I don't wanna lose my sight But my mind is caving in We were born to love To breathe and not give up In the face of darkness I won't run We were born to love How could I ever win this fight While my mind is caving in There's comfort in my rituals But the devil makes disciples All I've made is foolish gold I'm the enemy and rival Could I ever regain hope Though I lost my innocence We were born to love To breathe and not give up In the face of darkness I won't run We were born to love I am broken But am I ever gonna win Because my flesh and bones tell me That I'm down again Is it too late For this life to be made new If I'm gonna climb out I've gotta climb out for you I am broken But am I ever gonna win Because my flesh and bones tell me That I'm down again Is it too late For this life to be made new If I'm gonna climb out I've gotta climb out for you Oh, If I'm gonna climb out I've gotta climb out for you We were born to love To breathe and not give up In the face of darkness I won't run We were born to love We were born to love To breathe and not give up In the face of darkness I won't run We were born to love

I’ve been listening to Ciaran McMeeken for several years. Before A&A. He was fabulous as a solo performer. If you like him here do yourself a favor and check out his earlier work. First I’ve heard of A&A and I’m impressed. I hope this AGT appearance gets them the attention they deserve!

They should sing their original song "ON THE RUN" in their next appearance,,

Mitch Rossell is my favorite artist in my life, thanks to AGT. I'm ready to find a new gem. And maybe Ashes & Arrows could be it! So I just bought their EP in hopes that they are! Congrats guys!! I hope everyone is buying your music right now!

First time ever hearing this song and I’m almost speechless. The tones and harmonies are beautiful. The whole world needs to hear them sing this song.

Amazing, hit home for me, my body was broken, literally my spirit was not broken through it all, now I'm healed as of May 16th this song means alot to me,I want to see them make it And... as for Howie He just has to live up to his reputation

Howie has no idea what he is talking about. One of my favourite songs

needing a bass player is my dream to play with them, you guys are great

Absolutely beautiful!! 💕 Wow - touched my heart so deeply!

They are incredible. I love this song so much. The passion and grit they put into this. Great job fellas!!!

The audience wants to meet Howie in the parking lot. 😂😂😂😂

Incredible!!! Need this on my Spotify

I would def listen to these guys

Wow

For me this is golden buzzer worthy.🎉❤ I'm been into this type of music lately.😊🤘😁 This song is so beautiful. The lyrics.😊😭

This Song brought tears to my eyes....I loved it!

Beautiful beautiful beautiful ❤️

Can't stop playing this song. It touch me so deep it left me in tears. It speaks to my depression it healing ways. Thank you.

Okay, time to replace Howie... 🤦🏻‍♂️ That's twice now that he's said no to great singers this season!!

Love the song. I would listen to it over and over again. I think Howie is cray for saying no.

That’s my real Uncle up there guys

What an amazing song and they sound amazing.. a wonderful message.. thank you guys ❤

Howie is wilding out here

I would buy an album with this song! I've listened to it over n over.

One of the best songs and performances in years. Howie should be fired for his take.

I am really crying by the first time I listen to those sound and lyrics. Touch my heart 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Better than the woman who got a golden buzzer in their latest videos! Howie is crazy

Being from North Carolina I love to see someone that was devastated by the hurricane are gonna bring healing to North Carolinians

anyone know the name of the song playing in the background, while the judges are talking to the band after they sing

i must crie from the inside by the hearing of the first song

Amazing song but also does anyone know the song they played in the background after their performance?
