I don’t find too many people through blogging and social media who share my love of hard rock, so I’ve learned to save those discussions for other places. But I just heard a song by a new band called Devour The Day that has AMAZING lyrics. Regardless of your music tastes, I think you should check out the words of Good Man.
I don’t want to get in trouble by printing all the lyrics here but luckily the guys in DTD have made an official lyric video. If you really don’t want to listen but would still like to read the lyrics just go here.

For those of you who are interested in the musical pedigree here, the duo making up this new band is Joey “Chicago” Walser and Blake Allison who used to be Egypt Central, a band I first discovered when they released a song called White Rabbit. If you know me and my feelings on The Matrix this will not surprise.
What do you think?

I concur with you on this one. That was a great song, love the lyrics. Also, I’m a fan of hard rock as well.
Glad to hear it Blake. It’s always been strange how so many people I know IRL are down w/ similar music but the peeps I attract on the web never really have been.
It’s the screaming I don’t like. My nephews tried to impress me with the artistic merits of screaming in song…but I just can’t get into it. I liked the rest of the song though, haha.
As for the lyrics, I can relate. I want to be good, but am more often less than.
Aw, and this one was so mild. Oh well, different strokes eh?
I know, it really was. But man, it just grates me. But I’ve been surprised at how much I love some of the music they’ve thrown at me. Some, haha. Jesus Jones and Nirvana was as hard as I ever got on my own 🙂
I’m almost certain that’s the first time anyone has ever connected Jesus Jones and Nirvana =)
Wow, this music reminds me of my high school days. I haven’t listened to hard rock since then. I guess I never realized it was more than a fad. Or maybe this means we’re just those weird people we made fun of as kids who keep playing music from the good ‘ole days. Either way, it’s a good song. LOVE the lyrics.
My phone would only play the sound, so I came back to see the video. Wow. For one, the screaming didn’t bother me when I understood what he was saying. But what a lot to think about in those lyrics. Do we need to be good to see God? Do we need to be good to be saved? I know the answer to that, but I sometimes feel like I’m drowning in myself, in what I am that’s not worthy of those gifts.
Also, I was l looking through their stuff on YouTube and I realized this is one of the bands the boys were sharing with me. The name just didn’t click with me before.
LOVED it. Thanks for this! Great guitar, great screaming.
Haha, I always picture you as a rocker chick, JM! I’m not, but that song was running through my head this morning anyway 🙂
Thanks for stopping by JM. Glad you like.
Is this song a remake? Why does it sound so familiar to me?? Love it and following Egypt Central to DTD.
