Get ready to rock out to “Faith Alone 2020”! This epic re-recorded version of the band’s classic hit was created remotely during the COVID-19 lockdowns. The talented members of the band each added their own magic to the song, with Graffin on vocals and piano, Brett on additional instruments and vocals, Jamie on drums, and Stevie Blacke on strings. The song was expertly produced and mixed by Carlos de la Garza.
Greg, the mastermind behind the band’s songwriting, shared his inspiration for the track. He revealed that he has always written songs on the piano, even using his mom’s piano for some of their earliest hits. With extra time at home, Greg decided to record a bunch of their songs in this way. Brett, on the other hand, felt that “Faith Alone” perfectly captured the spirit of the current moment. He emphasized that the song reflects the band’s belief in solving problems through reason and action, rather than relying on faith and prayer.
The song was released as a digital single on August 7, 2020, and is available on all digital platforms. The cover art for the single features a controversial image of President Donald Trump holding a bible upside down in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church. This image sparked controversy as it is claimed that nearby protesters were tear-gassed by Homeland Security to clear the way for the photo.
Get ready to be blown away by the powerful message and infectious energy of “Faith Alone 2020”!
