Fight For Me

[JaJae]

I just got their album..

YouTube Video

They have one song on their CD in support of the troops. The reason they said they made this song is because the media and music industry seems to be anti-war and they just wanted to give the troops and families a song that shows we appreciate them. They have people from all political beliefs in their band, this isn't meant to be a partisan song, but rather a support the troops song. The song does tend to lean "right" if you're against the war, but overall I think it does a good job at supporting the troops and showing them we care.

Personally I think it's a good song and I like the video they had done up. It's amateurish, but follows the song pretty well.

The band is called Citizen Reign:

And they have a myspace Music page with some more of their music:

This song was inspired by every soldier who has ever been deployed into conflict, but more directly to those who have served, currently are, and those not coming home from the mid east.

We are not taking a political side with this song, but simply trying to remind people that our brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers continue to sacrifice their lives everyday, and also to remind people that our Men and Women of the military have accomplished many great things during these conflicts. Our band members, like the rest of America, have a mixture of opinions on the war in iraq but one thing we can all agree on is that we want our troops to be successful and all come home safe to their families.

There is so much negative media surrounding the conflicts in the mid east which made us stop and think how incredibly difficult it must be to keep your head high as a soldier in Iraq. Especially with the news consistantly focusing on everything bad that happens. Not often do we get to hear about all the good things our troops have done while in Iraq and there are many. The news like any other TV broadcast is based of ratings and unfortunatley in this world we live in today bad news usually sells better than good news.

Our Drummer was in the Marines and after I came up with the music he took a rough recording home and wrote the lyrics. Him and I played it for the rest of the band and we all fell in love with it right away. It touched home for all of us as everyone in the band has friends and family in the military. After a few minor changes it became track number 7 on our album.

War is a brutal and gruesome reality and through all the controversy and division in this country we just want all the troops to know that they are and always will be America's Heros.

Lyrics:

"Fight For Me"

You stand to fight and we agree
Until we see your brothers bleed
You give your life to hold the line
And then we change our minds

Afraid to say that you'd
Come home this way

I stand to give you my applause
How could you fight for a better cause
Opposed by those that you set free
Still you fight for me

We hold our signs of war and peace
They seem to change so easily
While passing judgment from our homes
In foreign lands you roam

Afraid to say what you'd
You'd die to save

Chorus:
I stand to give you my applause
How could you fight for a better cause
Opposed by those that you set free
Still you fight for me
To all the soldiers don't you know
You'll always be the world's hero
As long as we have enemies
Still you fight for me

Chorus
