Everyone who hears it recognizes its iconic lyrics and knows that it has stood the test of time - it's a true classic. As for us, we never quite reflected deeply on the song's severe lyrics, instead focusing on its raw energy. However, given the current state of the world, we cannot ignore how poignant and relevant its words have become. It's disheartening to acknowledge that they are more pertinent now than ever before. Nonetheless... We’ve poured our hearts into this song, with the hope of honoring its message and evoking a different emotional response from listeners than the original. As we embarked on the remaking process, we couldn't help but again be moved by the lyrics and their stark reminder of the horrors of war. The thought of those in the world who cannot feel safe, who have lost loved ones, and who have no certainty about their future, weighs heavily on our minds. We have strived to infuse our rendition of “The Trooper“ with the same intensity and passion as the original, while also recognizing and honoring its powerful message.”
