It\u2019s a rejection of giving your power to systems, fear, leaders, or anyone else. The video reflects that\u2026 war, protest, false idols, all showing what happens when people stop thinking for themselves and just follow. It\u2019s not anti-spiritual, it\u2019s anti-passive. Decide who you are, take responsibility, and act on it. That\u2019s where the freedom is.<\/p>\n<p>The collab with George came naturally. I\u2019ve been a long-time fan, and Alexisonfire were one of the first bands I saw live as a teenager getting into alternative music. I think most Canadian millennials from that era share a similar story. Being able to DM George and have him jump on the track feels like a full-circle moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\">\n<p>\u201cWe started playing \u2018Song 2\u2019 as a joke while touring Mexico, and it ended up being one of the songs people popped off the hardest to. The lyrics are universal and the track is pure energy. I grew up playing hockey and blasting Jock Jams; it\u2019s the perfect stadium rock anthem. I love that Blur were poking fun at the grunge movement when they wrote it. The fact that their biggest song was basically a middle finger to a genre is hilarious. The universe has a way of laughing when you take yourself too seriously. The world feels intense right now and we figured a little playfulness might help.
