White Stripes - Seven Nation Army

"Seven Nation Army" is the song from the band "The White Stripes" album "Elephant" which was the album of the year in 2003.

Not just the album but the song won the Best Rock Song for 2003 Grammy Award. I am posting this here not just it won award and is critically acclaimed but also because i just love this song myself.

The greatest thing about the song is its Guitar work. You gonna love the Bass Guitar's sound here in this song but actually it is played by a semi acoustic guitar only.

Not just that this song is placed number 8 in the list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks in Q-Magazine's March 2005 issue and at number 5 in the list of the 50 Greatest Tracks Of The Decade in September 2005, (New Musical Express) NME.

Just listen and watch this song yourself and find out what it's all about.



Lyrics of Seven Nation Army

Im gonna fight em off
A seven nation army couldnt hold me back
Theyre gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back
And Im talking to myself at night
Because I cant forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone

Dont want to hear about it
Every single ones got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the queen of england to the hounds of hell
And if I catch it coming back my way
Im gonna serve it to you
And that aint what you want to hear,
But thats what Ill do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home

Im going to wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
Im gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And Im bleeding, and Im bleeding, and Im bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home
