3 Doors Down – Kryptonite
Here is this week’s song off my iPod.
3 Doors Down is hard rock band from Escatawpa, Mississippi formed in 1996. The band consists of Brad Arnold (vocals), Matt Roberts (guitars), Todd Harrell (bass), Chris Henderson (guitar), and Greg Upchurch (drums/percussion). The band toured extensively throughout Mississippi and the neighboring states before releasing their first album. While touring in Alabama, the band made up their name when they saw a sign with missing letters that read, “Doors Down.” Since at the time they only had three members, they named the group 3 Doors Down.
The band rose to national fame with their first single, Kryptonite, from their first album in 2000. The band tours extensively, doing as many as 300 shows in a year, and has sold 16 million albums since forming. The band’s most recent album, released in 2008, debuted at number 1 on the Billboard charts. A new album is expected to be released this year.
Kryptonite
I took a walk around the world to
Ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
In the sands of time
I watched the world float to the dark
Side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah
I watched the world float to the
Dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something
To do with you
I really don’t mind what happens now and then
As long as you’ll be my friend at the end
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well, will you be
There holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side with
My superhuman might
Kryptonite
You called me strong, you called me weak
But your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times I
Never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head, if
Not for me then you would be dead
I picked you up and put you back
On solid ground
If I go crazy then will you still
Call me Superman
If I’m alive and well will you be
There holding my hand
I’ll keep you by my side with my
Superhuman might
Kryptonite
