  • Graham from North Bay, Canada"One Man Army" was actually the first single from the album
  • Amanda from Shreveport, LaI may have to check this song out!
  • Derek from Boston, MaI work with a wide variety of hospitilized patients as a physical therapist and also have a relative with alzeimers. I pull heavy meaning from this song in regards to my working with alzeimers patients in regards to a "thief" stealing their memories of what they have expereinced and the pain families go through in dealing with such diseases.
