Chris Daughtry's "Home" also about US troops?, what about Live's! Options

[SecretInsomnia]

Hey, I dunno of everyone knows the Chris Daughtry album, but the second single of it is coming up (or is already released), and it's Home, track no.3 at the cd.

Although I already knew the track for quite a while and liked it in the beginning, I found this at Billboard.com

"Home," fires up another anthemic rock power ballad, with a lyric dedicated to U.S. troops overseas, a la, "I'm going home to a place I belong/Where your love has always been enough for me." Considering his sure-shot, flame-throwing vocal, name-brand cachet and mass appeal via a No. 1 album—not to mention the song's use as the exit theme each week on "A.I."—"Home" is undeniably where America's heart is.

Ofcourse I made the connection to Home at SFBM and Home at Daughtry before, but I never thought about something behind it, just songs with the same title.
But reading that in Billboard, realising he's a big Live fan, and Live made a song about a US-soldier's view in the Gulfwar a year before Daughtry releases a single Home that also deals with the US troops. And he will have a lot of airplay in the US, regarding his first single!

Man I'm not offending Daughtry, I like his album, but damn, with a better promotion SFBM could be so much more succesfull for Live than that it was (or is). And now Daughtry gets attention with a theme Live did already before in a song.
SFBM had not to fail, there was a lot of hit potential stuff on this album

SFBM was shit, I wish people would stop arguing to the contrary. SFBM got exactly what it deserved, harsh reviews by critics and no sales.

The album is poorly written and the music sucks plain and simple. Most of the songs have no more than 2 chords played on guitar and Pat's bass is invisible. The lyrics suck so bad, I'm embarassed to listen to the garbage anymore. If I can remember correctly, there isn't one single song with any kind of bridge, which tells me the music was thrown together without much thought, or with any respect in the realm of musical integrity.

"Ewwww baby let my loving ease your pain" sounds like something Britney Spears would have written recently in her crack induced whore bag haze. Get ready stole the big bad drum crash from a Ford commercial. Love shines has two ten word verses written with the same chorus wrapped around it 60 times. I could go on and on and on and on.


Like this piece of shit record all you want. FACT is that musically it is subpar for Live. Second, it is subpar musically for ANY ROCK BAND period. The lyrics and music could have easily been written by a thirteen year old learning guitar.

That's when people even bothered to review it.
