Can't believe there isn't a thread for this, or at least that what's Google's telling me. This is one of my all time favorites, if not my favorite song.
The song was a part of their 2002 effort Bleed American, the recording of which was entirely self-financed after Capitol Records dropped the band. That said, using the cut and dry alternative sound straight out of the 90's it managed to chart at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and, despite being their only real hit, still gets play on a few Alternative stations every now and again. Anyone else still jam to this?

This is one of my favourite songs from the last decade. Never fails to make me smile. They've made some great singles.

Yeah, this is still awesome. Several of my friends who were out of their prime Alt and CHR listening years by the time this came out also took to it despite no longer being current-oriented. It does have a certain sophistication to it that a lot of other hits of its time lacked, which helped it to stand out to a variety of listeners.

I was all over this at the time and the fact that I already liked "Bleed American" had me rooting for them during this album.
Even though it missed the top 15 on alternative, you would have thought "A Praise Chorus" did as well as this and "Sweetness" near the OKC market at the time (even though they were not yet on the panel).

This song was also popular and was used in TV shows and I think movies? I think the song was used in a scene on WB's "Smallville" back in the day.
I really like it. Great rhythm and catchy.
