"I wrote a lot of the instrumental of the song during the On Letting Go writing sessions but it never got messed with. It was one of the first instrumentals we pulled up to work on during the Blue Sky Noise writing sessions. We knew it was strong already but really wanted to add some insanity to it. That drum break stemmed from wanting to have parts where we could use auxiliary percussion and vocal chanting. We added that and the crazy guitar section at the same time. It really took the song to the next level. Then in the studio we had an idea to have the little kids screaming the chant with Anthony for a Pink Floyd “The Wall” effect. The words there are from a really immature young point of view too so I think it fits perfectly. “I don’t want excuses I don’t want apologies."
What Colin said about the construction of the song. The last part where he explains the chanting at 2:20 is awesome.
