It was also performed as the last live performance on Top of the Pops. It was later heard again in the 18th episode of the show's seventh season in 2011. The song was also made into a music video for the medical show, as a promotion for its third season.

CHASING CARS SONG LYRICS GENIUS TV
Nickelback's Feed the Machine is available June 16.'Chasing Cars' became a big hit in the States, after its use in the TV drama One Tree Hill's third-season finale episode, 'The Show Must Go On'.Ī few weeks later, the song appeared on the second-season finale of Grey's Anatomy. When you just start singing from the heart, it's amazing how many other people feel like you're telling their story." It's just something a lot of people can identify with.

On the new song, 'Everytime We're Together,' it's about when we go over to my buddy's house and start telling the tales - 'Remember this? Remember this girl? Remember partying on the lake?' and those stories.

"But it didn't matter that some of the landmarks for me were gone, because there were still friends there. "When we went back to shoot the video for 'Photograph,' I was very saddened by the way the town was disappearing, it was shrinking, so many places were being torn down, so many of the shops had closed and were for lease," he says. I've done my time."Įven though the song was released in 2005, the theme still weighs on Kroeger, so he revisited it on the band's ninth album, Feed the Machine, out this week. I'm not avoiding Alberta waiting for the statute of limitations to run out on any crime I've committed. He was never worried about admitting to the incident on song because, as he says, "I got charged for it, those are all on my criminal record. The incident in question refers to Kroeger breaking into his high school - it was actually 11 times, but "half a dozen" fit better rhythmically - in order to liberate money from the office safe. Lyrically, the rest of the song carries on in a very literal sense, including the lines "Criminal record says I broke in twice/ I must have done it half a dozen times." The welcome sign into the small town of less than 3,000 people proudly proclaims, 'Proud to be the home of Nickelback.' (Hanna, Alberta/Facebook) But first, the video, shot in Hanna, Alta., and which is still to this day Kroeger's favourite. We asked Kroeger to break down the songwriting process behind All the Right Reason's lead single and one of the biggest songs of his career. "They're like, if you don't know what this song is about, you're an idiot."įor example, " What the hell is on Joey's head?" "Everything was just really clicking for us at that time, and those songs were all just really strong songs," says frontman Chad Kroeger of the album that spawned five top 25 singles and became the first rock album of the 2000s to contain three top 10 hits - none more popular than "Photograph," Kroeger's ode to hometown nostalgia that is as popular on classic rock stations as it is on the internet with memes.Īnd yet, despite that song's cultural impact, there are still a lot of unanswered questions surrounding it that even Genius, the song annotation site, doesn't know - "I kinda like that," says Kroeger. In March, the Hanna, Alta., rock group's 2005 album, All the Right Reasons, received diamond status in the United States, which means it surpassed 10 million units in sales - a feat only Céline Dion, Shania Twain and Alanis Morrisette have also achieved from this country. Nickelback recently entered a rarified space very few Canadian acts have ever known.
