    On a more serious note, this song was written on the day of the santana high school shootings in san diego. The band was recording a few miles from the school and could hear the sirens. They found out what happened, marcos came up with the riff and sonny just laid it all out.

    Man, this brings me back. I was 25, I think, when this song came out. The shooting at Columbine high school had just happened about 2 years earlier, I believe... the same year my first son was born. This song made my heart break into a million pieces because it made me realize that future was in store for my son. This culture, this society we live in here in the US is so gun-happy - I guess this was when I really realized that my son would potentially someday have to contend with the threat of a school shooting. I felt so sad that day.

    • @dragnridr05
      @dragnridr05 2 роки тому +1

      It's not the gun culture that's the issue in the US. It's the not caring about our kids and not raising them right with respect, honesty, and love that is the issue.
      Columbine wasn't about guns. It was about students who were constantly bullied and got tired of the shit they were put through. Maybe if the parents and teachers took more active roles in stopping the bullying and other bullshit, the shooting wouldn't have happened.
      They also tried blaming the game Doom for Columbine as well. It's never the game or the gun's fault. It's the parents and teacher's faults for not getting involved.
      You can't blame an inanimate object for the actions of those doing wrong.
      If you do, you should blame hammers and other power tools for deaths as well. Which scientifically speaking has more deaths related to WORKPLACE injuries than GUNS.

    This was real popular in the early 2000s. The whole Satellite CD had some great songs with catchy hooks but with deep meanings. You have to realize that the album came out around the time of school shootings becoming a common occurrence. I kind of compare this song to Pearl Jam's Jeremy from a decade before Youth of the Nation. Both songs make mention of kids or teens that were misunderstood and mistreated or looked out as an outcast because they didn't fit in. If you haven't seen the video for Jeremy, I recommend it, even though it may be disturbing. And that was also based on a true story btw.

    They were a pretty cool band and made some great songs. They served their purpose and help to create a unique approach to the genre.

    Orange 9mm also mixed rock and metal and rap. Songs like “Touching Skies” emphasized the rap more but they were a cool band also

    One of my favorite from them... Awesome drumming, Awesome Gruitars, Awesome Bass, Grear Lyrics... You guys should check out "Alive"... it has more religious undertones, but it's a good song in my humble opinion.

    I don't know if you've listened to Rise Against before (I'm still going through y'all's catalogue), but "Make it Stop (September's Children)" is another song that's lyrically like this talking about how society effects kids. It makes me cry fr fr.

    I don't know if this was said in previous comments, but the song was written about the school shooting at Santana high School here in San Diego, California

    P.O.D were from the streets of San Diego -- as they refer to it Southtown. Check out their song Southtown and Boom.

    Song was released in the wake of the columbine shootings. Culminating in a shooting at a high school near them. If memory serves they wrote the song in 45 minutes once they saw cop cars driving to the shooting.

    This once came on the radio while I was in the car with my mother. She lost her shit because she thought it was promoting violence, drugs, etc., not criticizing it. I tried to explain it, but she wouldn't listen. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️
    I love this song. I think there's a great contrast to other songs about the same subject. ("Youth Gone Wild" by Skid Row comes to mind.)
