Yes, I did choose this song ironically.
Brad Arnold - lead vocalist and drummer - passed away yesterday at age 47 after a relatively short battle with cancer. The entire music community paid their respects, so I left it was time for us to do the same.
This 2008 single, from their self-titled fourth album, made it to the top 20 on the US Pop Charts - their last visit to those heights in this country on pop radio (although they continued to garner rock radio airplay consistently), was originally written for the remake of the movie The Poseiden Adventure, but the filmmakers ended up not wanting it.
The band kept it. And it ended up being a hit. This song about resilience, written by the band, ended up resonating with people.
The band never stopped touring even after their hitmaking days were behind them. Here they are performing this song on a cruise in 2024. They still bring the same energy.
Brad Arnold will be missed. Our best wishes go out to him, the band, and his family.
