Track-By-Track: Blessthefall's Witness

Rob Ortenzi on 10/6/09 @ 7:00 AM

Frontman BEAU BOKAN walks us through every song on the new BLESSTHEFALL full-length, Witness.


2.0
"This is a short, sweet, self-explanatory intro track to our record. We're letting everyone know blessthefall are back and that 'We're not dead, we're not like you said.'"

What's Left Of Me
"I've done things in my life I wish I could take back and that I'm not really proud of. This song is about me asking for forgiveness and hoping to make things right."

To Hell And Back
"This song is about not giving up, even when all the odds are against you.

God Wears Gucci
"GWG is about people or bands who try to make a dollar off God's name."

Hey Baby, Here's That Song You Wanted
"This song is about me telling my ex-girlfriend that things just aren't working out."

Witness
"A lot of people did not believe in our band after the old singer left. This song is for them."

Last Ones Left
"Since I joined the band, we've formed a bond and a friendship that can never be broken. This song speaks about the fact that we're in this together for the long run. we're stronger than ever."

Five Ninety
"I wrote this one specifically for my little sister who had been battling alcoholism. She really looked up to me for support and when I had to leave for tour, I felt as though I was abondoning her instead of staying and helping her with her problems."

We'll Sleep When We're Dead
"This is one of the first songs I wrote when I joined, after the other guys had spent nine months looking for a new singer. It's pretty much me speaking to the rest of the band saying that I would never leave them and that they weren't alone anymore."

Skinwalkers
"I believe everyone has vices or addictions and even when we try our best to shake them, it seems as though they are following us. This song is about not letting those things get the best of us."

You Deserve Nothing And I Hope You Get Less
"I wrote this for all the people who are in bands for the wrong reasons--the ones who want to get laid, get wasted and pretend to be rock stars."

Stay Still
"A close friend of mine, Charles Che Still, was killed in a tragic plane crash. This song is for him." alt
