I've had this album for years, but didn't quite know what this song was getting at. Seeing the lyrics helps. This reminds me (It did before, but more now) of some sad, beautiful, political Pink Floyd songs like "Us and Them" and "On the Turning Away."
@afatase Drummer Sam Loeffler stated in an interview, "Pete was watching television and one of those commercials came on, 'Save the Children' commercials. That song is about making a decision whether you're going to sit on your couch and watch this happen or you're going to stand up and do something about it. That song isn't about if you should or shouldn't do it, it's just about – Are you going to do it? "
Hope that clears it up for you. This song is about an infomercial.
Chevelle does not get the credit it deserves. People hate this band and a lot of people do not listen to them. For the people that do, we are the lucky ones. ;)
I fucking love this band. Every song of them has such a strong, meaningful depth and they are either really beautiful, like this one here, or just really agressive and open. I want to be a musician when i grow up and damn, i'll be happy if i'm half as awesome as they are. I am from Austria and i think it's really unfair that nobody here knows about them. Anyway, i love this song!
I know wat the fuck is wrong with them?? there is absolutely nothing wrong with this song,and if its not ur thing,then get over urself and stop listening!!
@Mckaylay513 Maybe the person dislikes the video, not the song. Maybe the political statement. Maybe the use of the word "bastard." Maybe too heavy. Who knows?
@afatase how is "bastard" too heavy?, a bastard is anyone born outside of wedlock. just like "bitch" is the word for a female dog. Saying "Damn you" means "Go to Hell" every cuss word has an actual meaning which in my opinion if you don't know the meaning you can't say it.
What of our weak? What of our poor? What of those who are less fortunate? This song is their anthem and should reach deep into the soul of anyone who knows their plight. When I listen to it I imagine angel bands gathering in battle formations preparing to come set this nightmarish world strait. Chevelle for president!!!
this song is frikin bad how it kicks into distortion later on in the song i LOVE IT SO MUCH I CRY!@!!!!!! i realized i cry to alot of his songs cuz there good this ones BEAST ♥♥♥♥♥♥
@bagabond21 Chevelle writes their own lyrics you idiot, they accept input and input ='s some additional cred on the album sleeve but it's Chevelle that writes and has the final say on interpretation which is what makes those words into the brilliance you hear.
This song sounds sad

This is a perfectly beautiful example of how a song should be written. Building music around a meaningful poem.
