Meaning of the song<\/u><\/b><\/div>\n

The song, that takes a form of a letter, describes the band members’ frustration and struggles with their parents’ not wanting to let them drop out a school and just start a music career.<\/p>\n

“Back then, we couldn’t understand why our parents were opposed to our plan to leave school to make music. It was our dream and we believed in it so much that failure seemed impossible. Today, it’s different: time has proved us right, but in those days, there was no guarantee it was going to work! Looking back, I completely understand why our parents were worried. In music, it’s all too true that “many are called but few are chosen.” I think they didn’t want us to reach age 30 with broken dreams and no future.” – Chuck Comeau<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
