Creed Offers Up 'My Sacrifice'

(10/11/01, 5 p.m. ET) -- Creed's "My Sacrifice" has been released to radio. The track is the first single from the band's new album Weathered, due out November 20. A tour is being planned to support the album, but dates had been announced at press time.

Creed vocalist-songwriter Scott Stapp told LAUNCH about the concept behind "Sacrifice," which was inspired by the birth of his son, Jagger. He talked about how the event broadened his awareness, and made him realize the sacrifices he would make for his son.

"The world is bigger than just me now," he said. "Before I was a daddy, I think, especially being a daddy in my twenties, in my early twenties, you're pretty selfish in your mid-twenties and early twenties. And a lot of people aren't at that time thinking about the grand scheme of things and thinking about what's going to be left behind, or what kind of legacy they're leaving behind, or how they're affecting people in their lives. You're just thinking about what you're going to do that day, or what you're going to do next week, or that job you're trying to get, or what your dreams are. It's about you. At least it was for me."
