The Power - Commentary

At the end of every album, you have a sense of "What am I missing?" It's much easier to write the last couple songs than is the first couple songs And when you're there, I realize that this record needed its power. It needed the strength in saying, "You've got the power, we've got the power together." The power of a prayer, power of believing, um, that when you changе something inside yourself, it all changеs. That, that, that powerful message that is so true.  I had been told I had to hand in the album. It was time to go. The piece of art was done. Send it in. And Sony had asked me and I actually ended up adding this song before I even had finished it. And put three minutes forty five and they said, "This is the timing, right, and this is the song?" and I said, "Yes, yes, yes" and we had to then write the song to three minutes, forty five.
