Thanks for playing (t)his song ...reminds me of how fragile life can be. That we should recognize our and others struggles, forgive, acknowledge it's not easy and accept the joys it gives us, great and small. We get one life. Living it is not a contest with others but really with ourselves. With our expectations that we are in charge of. We determine if we win or lose.

It's about people who sing about the revolution while selling it short, about people who sing about the corrosion of things while they themselves are falling apart. People who miss the point... It's also stupidly over-the-top bombastic, but rightly so." - bit.ly
