Inevitably, Scott has had to sacrifice a lot of family time to be a part of the band. That's what I figure his sacrifice is. It's not much of a stretch at all.

Most fans were introduced to the new album by "My Sacrifice," a big, mid-tempo guitar workout that seems sure to incite more than a few flick-your-Bic moments whenever the band plays it live. "When you are with me, I’m free…I’m careless…I believe," Stapp’s baritone booms in the chorus. The song tells of a reunion with an old friend, making its title line seem like a non-sequitur. Where’s the sacrifice in happily spending time with an old friend? Or is it, in fact, an old friend at all?

"He was reconnecting with himself," Tremonti says of the tune’s basic premise. "After all the chaos over the past years and years of people judging, and being in the whirlwind of what we’re doing, [Scott was] finally being calm and at peace with himself, finding himself again."

This is what I always imagined it being about...Scott looking back over the last few years and seeing the things he had Sacrificed to become a rock star. Funny how Scott said in an article that it was about Jagger...I still don't see it!
