Disturbed's Divisive album was four years in the making, during which two of the band members' marriages broke down. Drummer Mike Wengren got divorced early in the pandemic and guitarist Dan Donegan went through a split in early 2022. This song is about a disintegrating relationship where each party struggles with letting go. It was inspired by the ending of Donegan's marriage. "That was a really personal one for me," Dan Donegan told Billboard. "During COVID-19, I was going through a divorce after 18 years of marriage. Part of that divorce process is that there was still a great deal of love we have for each other, and we couldn't imagine our lives without each other. Just that letting go, letting somebody go that you still love, but maybe the marriage just might not be working anymore... It was touching on that. It was just very personal." Donegan came up with the concept, then wrote the lyrics with Disturbed singer David Draiman. "I threw a few lines at him, and he took the ball and ran with it." Donegan said. Then Feb 2023 David Draimen also got divorced.
You picked a great band to react too. They have been around since 1994, first album 2000, recommend these to react too a mix of heavy and lighter songs.. Stricken, The Light, hold on to memories, if I ever lose my faith in you cover and Down with the sickness. Enjoy
I can’t stand metal. But after hearing Sound of Silence I had to hear more. I actually listen to them now, even their hard music. 🤷🏻♀️ but I say, if David is singing I’m listening. 🤗😏💋🥰
