Who didn't like this song? It BLEW me away when I first heard it. It could be the story of all our lives. Everyone can relate to it. Even the video is like you getting in the car, putting on a mix tape and hanging out on the corner with your friends.
From Wikipedia: "The lyrics are optimistic and speak of contentment with a less-than-perfect life."
Released in 2004 from the Punk Goes Accoustic, it still remains a staple on my playlist.
Coming in tied is another one from Rise Against. "Hero Of War"
A moving tribute to veterans who saw so much anguish, and the trauma they had to go through fighting in a war. NOBODY knows what they have to deal with. Before you judge anyone in the military, you need to walk a mile in their shoes. They do the job they do so you don't have to, and they don't get the appreciation they deserve.
"He said son, have you seen the world?
Well, what would you say if I said that you could?
Just carry this gun, you'll even get paid.
I said that sounds pretty good."
Nobody knows what to expect. No matter what you THINK you're going to see, you are NEVER ready for what you actually do.
From the 2008 album Appeal To Reason, Rise Against - Hero Of War.
Check back this weekend as the countdown continues.
