This song by American heavy metal band Slipknot was released as their second single from their sophomore album Iowa. Singer Corey Taylor wrote the track about the friends he made during a period he spent sleeping rough under a bridge in Des Moines.
Kerrang! January 29, 2011 asked Taylor if he thought it would be a song that would really connect with people. He replied: "No, but I'm like that. Once we record stuff I tend to turn my eyes to the road again, because what I've done is already in the past and I'm more interested in what the future holds. I think the appeal of it is that there's an inherent groove to it that a lot of the really good songs have. It's heavy but not too heavy."
The music promo was directed by Dave Meyers and marked the video debut of Slipknot's new costumes in promotion of Iowa. Taylor recalled filming the clip to Kerrang!: "It was funny, I gotta be honest! We were in a field in the middle of nowhere, it was super early, we were rally pissed off and there were 15 goats and a goat wrangler. I'll never forget it - one goat started chewing on the drum set and another ran away. The rain machine blew my mask off at one point and I had to chase it down before a goat ate it!"
