Manuscript.

Great players doing some amazing stuff. This track is just a chop fest. I’ve always loved playing this kind of music.

Never leave you.

What a beautiful song. Never leave you is definitely my favorite track on the This is War album.

Own sweet way.

This track is all about manipulation, and how destructive it is. The release that comes form being righteous and standing up to the things that try and bring us down has the opposite effect those manipulations had on us.

Hummin.

The Choir is what moves me most about this song. The Bridge is based on an old slave song. The thing I think about most when listening to this is how short our time on earth is and that what we do with it is for the most part pointless.

Sunrise.

Up tempo rock in its most powerful form! Right from the start this was a breath of fresh air. This melody has always inspired me to reach for bigger things knowing that the sun will rise tomorrow. And the Son makes all things new.

This gladiator track was created by Fraans and Marle van der Merwe for the Manu website. What a great track for the site…
