We are the People is the first single and opening track off Feeder's 11th release, "Silent Cry". Immediately, anyone that has experienced the massive Feeder anthems from their 2005 album "Pushing the Senses" will notice that the band has come back much heavier - with more distorted guitars and less acoustics. That said, they have still managed to retain their catchy melodies and Grant Nicholas' vocals are spot-on as ever. This song is a perfect opener to the rest of the album, and is a definite must-buy for any Feeder fan. Alternatively, you could choose to buy the whole album, with eleven more superb and addictive tracks such as "Itsumo" and "Silent Cry". It retails at £8.99 at HMV and is released on the 16th of June 2008. Having listened to the album - i recommend waiting until the album is released, and buying it immediately!
Here are the track's lyrics:
"What do you say? What do you think about miracles? Miracles are somethings you dream about We are looking for a new way out Slipping away,losing all sense of reality Sacrifice, love and democracy We burn it all down Cos all our lives We're waiting for something new Waiting for someone like you
We are the people Who let this whole thing go Just like the people you know We are the reason We're blinded by the goal We are the people, you know
Burning away Light in the sky so you can bring us home Further, further down an open road We've torn it all down Why do we pray, why do we talk about angels? Flying with their golden wings We've burned it all down
Cos all our lives We're waiting for something new Waiting for someone like you
We are the people Who let this whole thing go Just like the people you know We are the reason We're blinded by the goal We are the people you know
Step it up again We can be silenced We can be brave We can be broken All can be saved It's the rest of our lives"

Track-By-Track
1. WeAre The People - 4:42
This is the first track and the second single to be released from this album. It kicks off with heavy guitars and an addictive beat - instantly portraying Feeder's new musical image. Grant Nicholas said of this song: "It's time for change and only we, the people can do that... I wanted the song to be anthemic and sonically uplifting..." Fortunately, this track is just that. A great opening to the album that bears certain similarities to the band's massive 2001 hit single "Buck Rogers".
