How excited was Shinedown to have “Second Chance” played as a promo song for the upcoming season of Terminator – The Sarah Connor Chronicles?īRENT SMITH: I thought it was awesome man. So, it’s one of my favorites off the album.ĪARON KEKER: Yeah, no problem. And you just don’t want them to ever forget… true love and that’s really where the song stem from.ĪARON KEKER: Right. It’s a song about missing the person that you love but just making sure that they realize that even though that you’re gone that they are always with you and that you remember them. That’s why in the song it says “4:03 and I can’t sleep without you next to me.” The fact was, is that all of these emotions came to me when I wrote this song. We make sure that we’re never apart more than, you know, two months without seeing each other… For some reason I used to, and I still do to this day, I would always wake up at 4:03 in the morning… I mean I cannot even count how many times that happened. I am gone, you know, pretty much out of the twelve months of the year I’m gone ten of those months. The song is about the fact that our lifestyles between me and Ashley, she has known me for so long. And the words to the song they just came to me in a flood, it’s just from the bottom of my heart the way that I feel about her and the way that I feel about my son. Because we pretty much spent most of 2007 in Los Angeles and you know the day that she called me, I was in Atlanta, and she said, “I have something to tell you.” And I said, “what is it?” And she said, “you’re going to be a father,” which was something I never thought I would ever be and my son has completely changed my life.Īs she has as well and I’ve never really had the words for, you know, such a song. So the fact that she was with me during that time and, you know, not only the writing part of that but she was with me in L.A. During the process of recording the record, she was with me that entire time.įrom the time she got pregnant was right about the time that I started writing the record. It was exactly what I said I never would but we have known each other for twelve years and we recently, you know, have an eight month year old beautiful baby boy and she’s been with me from day one. I mean the fact of the matter is that, you know, the statement I made about the fact I would never write one… it was one of those things. I just never had a reason to write a love song before.”ĪARON KEKER: “If You Only Knew” becomes one of Shinedown’s biggest hits do you think that Shinedown will release any future love songs?īRENT SMITH: It depends. “If You Only Knew” is Shinedown’s first ever love song, correct?ĪARON KEKER: You were quoted as saying “I’ll never write a love song. How you doing Brent?īRENT SMITH: I’m doing well man! How can you say your day is going my friend?ĪARON KEKER: It’s going good! It’s going good!ĪARON KEKER: I’m talking to you it can’t be any better than that, huh?īRENT SMITH: Maybe, you know if a Victoria Secret model, you know, called you or something?ĪARON KEKER: Yeah, maybe… But first of all, I would like to congratulate you on your recent engagement to Ashley.īRENT SMITH: Thank you very much man! I appreciate it.ĪARON KEKER: No problem man. Brent Smith and I discussed The Sound of Madness, “If you Only Knew,” “Devour,” “Second Chance,” their music featured on television, playing acoustically, Rock Band, funniest Shinedown comment by a fan so far and the almost near demise of Shinedown.ĪARON KEKER: Hey everyone!
