Few songs out there can get me in a blubbering emotional state. "Lover of the Light" is up there, but "Help Is On The Way" coupled with a stellar music video puts Rise Against over the top. This track isn't from the amazing collection known as The Sufferer & The Witness, but I'll allow Endgame to have this one. It's too good to pass up.
You may be able to guess where this one will go. "Help Is On The Way" assures us that no matter how bad it gets, help will be on the way. This is classic Rise Against; you'll be able to tell just by the guitars. What they've got is power and emotion in their work, and relating songs to real life. The weep-worthy video follows a family living on their roof to escape hurricane flood waters. Watch at your own risk, it's the most hauntingly beautiful thing I've ever seen. Just get into the whole thing, people. Better yet: miss this at your own risk.
We were told just to sit tight
'Cause somebody will soon arrive
