This song was written in 45 minutes. When Sonny and the guys were recording for a new album, there was a school shooting that took place 1 miles from the recording studio in San Diego, CA. Everything went into lock-down around them. The guys had kids in school, they got together and prayed for the situation that was taking place. Sonny then went to a corner in the studio and starting praying and writing, 30 minutes later Sonny emerged to share the lyrics that had been laid on his heart, and the guys starting putting down the music and it all came together in 45 to 50 minutes total. Go God.

@ righteous I do know it was written due to a couple of high school shootings. Santana High school in Santee (SD), CA which is where they were in the studio and Columbine High school. As far as the song being written in that amount of time is anyone's guess. From my understanding, Sonny was driving when he noticed the helicopter and emergency vehicles heading towards the HS. Regardless if it took 45 minutes, 45 hours or 45 days to write, it is and will be 1 of the best songs written about what some of our youth are currently going through or have gone through.

Pearl Jam's "Jeremy " is pretty similar. (also an amazing song) Based on a true story about a kid who was bullied with a pretty heart hitting back story of neglect and such, the song is literally about him going into class one day and shooting him self in font of his class. Its rough but an amazing song that sends an important message which Pearl Jam delivers humbly. (if that's a fair statement)

Jamel, these guys are considered Christian Rock/nu-metal; I'm an agnostic and have been my whole life, but these guys rock hard, sound good, and their music also inspires me spiritually. In a similar vein, yet great in their own right, I'd recommend Thousand Foot Krutch as well. I've seen them both live multiple times, and they are both the Real Deal Holyfield. A quick comment as an aside, Katy Perry seemingly got a big break as a POD backup singer. Give it a KZbin search, and you can catch her playing backup singer/dancer on a Tonight Show performance by POD well before she was a household name.

So weird because I listened to their music constantly when I was 11 yo and they helped me get through shitty times but over the years I ended up representing one of the characters in this song. It hit me hard. Thank you for this reaction.

I remember when I bought their hit multiplatinum album Satellite and how amazed I was by it......i remember listening to the album on a sunny day and looking outside of my window and feeling so connected with the world because I knew that millions of others were listening to the same album at the very same time as I did

Ive loved this song since I was a teenager I grew up in New Zealand with no school shootings. I only just realized he was talking about a school shootings. It's deep and we had one shooting in a mosqu and that was traumatic I can't imagine living in America .I think somebody better pray for America. If it was my country I would not stand for that . It's not normal

Thank you for doing this one, Jamel... the bullying needs to STOP! I get some of that stupid trolling on my channel and for what?? Is it because us as reaction channels put ourself out there and try to speak about making a positive impact of people? I know you are all about waking up and putting a smile on someone's face. We need to be better, period, right? We're all in this together so why not make the best of it! Great job on the reaction.... much love and peace to everyone out there 👊🤘

People troll because they have no courage to face you. They are dying inside and need to spew poison. They are sad, empty souls. Keep going and dont listen to them. You do you.

Never noticed when the lyrics, "There's got to be more to life than this" plays the lights from the car make a Cross. That is awesome!

Check out “Fundamental Elements of Southtown,” also by P.O.D. That was the first song and video that I saw from this band. Very cool.

Jamel, it continues to amaze me how many great tunes you haven't heard and are still discovering. What's awesome, is that you are discovering! I always loved Em, but this tune really grabbed me and made me listen, started to listen to more of what rap my son was into as the years went on. This great- chorus tune categorized - for the most part - as rap, opened my mind to more rap. It did that through it's strong, heart-felt message.
