It's been a while




Staind  is a north American alternative rock band that was formed in 1995 in Springfield, Massachusettes. Up to now, Staind has recorded seven studio albums: Tormented, Dysfunction Break the Cycle , 14 shades of grey ,chapter V , The Illusion of Progress and their self-titled album that just came out in 2011. Influences that I found interesting are Korn, Rage against the Machine, Pantera, and Machine Head. It's Been Awhile, my all time favorite song by them was number one on Billboard's Top 200 in the 90`s  , a suprising achievement for a rock band when everyone was in a rap and hip hop phase. This song means a lot to me because he sings about his addiction, real problems that happen to everyone, not pathetic lyrics about sex money and drugs. In the song, he mentions how he overcame his problems because of a girl, how love can conquer all. A beautiful song to me, and always will be. :)
