Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Godspeed. By Songfacts®.

This song about a soldier killing an enemy in battle, only to have him ask the soldier to deliver his last message to a loved one, starts with a concert bass drum, marching soldiers and crashing cymbals, then finishes with an ethereal gospel choir. Bassist Joey Westwood explained in promotional materials: "We felt like we could do anything we wanted to. We didn't want to limit ourselves. We really got to explore different sounds on each song. It shows a broader range of what we're capable of. All those small things taken together really helped open it up stylistically. This record is very visual, almost like a Broadway play."
