Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.
- E.Y. Harburg
More impressively than any famous crossover band of their day, Creed communicated the message that mankind's broken faith with God. Popular in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The band disbanded in 2004 after three multi-platinum albums, selling 26 million records in the United States and an estimated 40 million records worldwide.
Releases such as "One Last Breath" and "My Own Prison" brought the specter of death and divine judgment to the mind of millions. "Who's Got My Back" hauntingly warns, "Run hide. All that was sacred to us, sacred to us. See the signs. The covenant has been broken by mankind. Leaving us with no shoulder, with no shoulder, to rest our head on..."
With the departure of their lead singer, Creed became Alter Bridge With a new lead singer, videos such as "Broken Wings" carried a similar theme.
Reunited, the original Creed's "Overcome" might be seen as a tribute to commitment and endurance, hopefully in the right way and for the right reason.
