  • OTHERWISE - Soldiers (OFFICIAL VIDEO). Taken from the album "True Love Never Dies", Century Media Records 2012.
    Get this song now: bit.ly/Soldiers...
    The song began as a metaphor for the battle that unsigned bands go through to get their message heard as artists, then quickly transformed into an anthem for everyone living on the front-lines of life. "When I started writing the lyrics, I was staring at my bandmates and thinking that they are my brothers in arms," says the singer. "It was going to be our anthem, but by the time I finished I realized it was an anthem for our whole nation. We are all soldiers fighting for something, whether it's to put food on the table, to be heard, or just to be happy. Every soldier is human, and we're all human."

    I read some of the comments below and many of them make me sad. I am a Captain in the military and I don't fight the front lines. My battlefield is in a medical tent healing those injured which is what I choose to do. My point to that is we all fight for something whether on a battlefield or in life in general. The point of this song and if you listen to the simple lyrics, "we stand shoulder to shoulder," is about erasing the hate, standing up... together..., and fighting that fight. It is the only way, no matter what battlefield, we can survive. I got the awesome chance to see him perform this live and he sent a great message conveying such. So I hope you guys stop looking too far into things creating controversy and accept the simple message that we all need to fight everyday together whether you are a soldier in the military or, as we all are, soldiers in life.

      One more quick point... the very first images in this video state, "For the warriors who fight and die... so the rest of us may fight to live." Although, the video primarily focuses on the civilian side of the house, he definitely puts a shout out to my brothers and sisters-in-arms for what they do. He did that do I saw him as well. Good luck in your fight.

      You're absolutely right; the message is fantastic and, while it definitely gives a well deserved shout out to the forces, it's also about fighting through trouble in all walks and areas of life. This shit stirring has to stop so we can enjoy the song for what it is!

    This is a perfect day to die
    Wipe the blood out of our eyes
    In this life there's no surrender
    There's nothing left for us to do
    Find the strength to see this through
    We are the ones who will never be broken
    With our final breath
    We'll fight to the death
    We are soldiers, we are soldiers
    Whoa, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh
    We are soldiers
    I stand here right beside you
    Tonight, we're fighting for our lives
    Let me hear your battle cry
    Your battle cry
    We are the ones who will never be broken
    With our final breath
    We'll fight to the death
    We are soldiers, we are soldiers

But this song encompasses so much more than that. We are ALL soldiers. We are ALL capable of being heroes every single day. This should be everyone's anthem.

    I remember joining the Army several years ago and life has been a rollar coaster ever since. I've had my good times and bad times, and admittedly, I've had moments in my life where I thought about how much I want to give up. I remember hitting a bad time in my life where I delved deep into drinking on a nightly bases and almost became reliant on alcohol so I can quit feeling the negative feelings that I went through. But I remember playing this song while drinking a beer and remembering what this song was to me. This was the song that played during my graduation ceremony from BCT, and we were holding the back of the uniforms of each other as we raced through the smoke. It was during the part "we stand shoulder to shoulder" that we all marched together in formation. Listening to this song and watching video of the individuals who must have also went through hard times in their lives, remembering the reasons why I'm serving, and knowing I'm not in this alone, I dedicated time to over come the pains I suffered through. I managed to quit drinking and found ways I can better myself as a person. To become stronger, not only physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as well. While I still struggle to be more social, especially in light of the world we're living in today, I just need to remember that everyone is going through a tough time and we all have inner demons we're facing daily. The battles are tough, but we're all in this life together, and I hope that maybe one day, we all can win our battles that we face. We stand shoulder to shoulder, brothers and sisters, and let no differences between us separate us.

    Graduated from Ft. Jackson a few weeks ago, and I cannot lie, marching out of the smoke WAS the most badass but emotional time of my life. The accomplishment of finishing, and simply having the opportunity to participate in doing something I love is astounding. I plan on attending RASP & Ranger School to truly do what I would like in this world. To defend who I truly love, and simply defend those who cannot defend themselves. “I am an American soldier”!- Soldiers Creed.

      Actually that is false, the actual song is talking about real solders and giving them thanks for fighting and risking their lives to allow the people back in the US to fight their own battles back home. It is not equating military service (A.K.A. real soldiers) to civilians fighting to live on.

    Being in the military, when I am greeted by a civilian and thanked for my service, I immediately thank them for their support. I tell them, though I have taken an oath to defend our country, they can do their part by being a citizen soldier in their community. Ultimately, it takes every American doing their part, to make our country the greatest hope for freedom and prosperity. We the People, must not allow our government to dictate what is or is not in our best interest. We must take back our voice and stand united against tyranny and oppression. We are Soldiers.

    Having listened to this song countless times back when it came out, and after looking for it for the past month, only vaguely remembering about it, I still remember every word to it like I just listened it to it yesterday

      What does it mean to you today? To Me? It means we better stand up and fight for the woman and children before they take us all away from each other and there is no way out.

    I just enlisted in the Army, and my cousin (who is also in the Army) was telling me how they blasted this song while they marched out of Basic. I'm incredibly nervous and I don't know what this decision will being, but this is just one of the many songs that reminds me why I did it
