Be My Escape

"Be My Escape" is a song by American Christian rock band Relient K. It was released in November 2004 as the lead single from their fourth full-length album, Mmhmm (2004).

Although the lyrics avoid directly mentioning God, given the band's Christian background and some of the themes in the song, it is usually taken to refer to Him.

"Be My Escape" uses guitars, drums, and keyboards, and the pace is varied effectively to give a sense of longing and desperation.

The song was moved to second in the set list for the November and December 2008 Winter Wonder Slam Tour with TobyMac.

In addition, the piano solo at the end of the song was removed in the video, and an extra vocal line was added during the second and third refrains to add to the harmony.

Exclusions visually include Dave Douglas singing background vocals, and Matt Thiessen playing the piano.
