Songfacts®:

  • Sweet and Lynch is a band comprising vocalist Michael Sweet (Stryper), guitarist George Lynch (Dokken, Lynch Mob, Souls of We), bassist James Lomenzo (Megadeth, White Lion, Black Label Society) and drummer Brian Tichy (S.U.N., Whitesnake). This tribute to the victims of the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York was released as their first single.
  • Michael Sweet told Guitar International about the band's songwriting process: "Basically, George wrote some riffs about a minute to a minute and a half long," he said. "I wrote lyrics and melodies then arranged them. I cut and pasted them together in the studio. Then Brian and James came out and tracked the drums and bass, as well as some rhythm stuff. We then sent it to George to add the guitars."
