During my time with a previous band we played a cover of My Sacrifice by Creed. Even though it was a cover, it sort of became one of our favourite songs to play. Our original drummer had the bright idea to say ‘hey why don’t we write a Creed type song of our own?’ and this was what I came up with. The basic nu-metal power ballad elements are there from the heavy drop-D riffs to the clean finger picked acoustic parts.
