P.O.D. frontman Sonny Sandoval runs through the band's new album, Payable on Death, track by track:
"Wildfire"
It's about that spirit within. "Wildfire" refers to that spirit that only God can give, and then it refers to the type of sound you're listening to. So when you're going bar by bar, it's like you're talking about different words for "wild" and different words for "fire" — talking about the blaze, talking about the glow. I want that fire from within that helps me to make it every day.
"Will You"
We always wanted to do a love song, and it started out from just hearing the music. I was listening to the guys play the music before we had vocals, and that question just came up in my head: "Will you love me tomorrow?" You look at everything you know to be real and you wonder, will it be there tomorrow? But it became a relationship-on-the-rocks song more than anything else.
"Change the World"
It has an "Alive" type of feel. We always wanted to be one of those bands that makes people smile with our music. People say, "You really think you can change the world? Well, I don't mean it politically, but I can definitely change someone's world with a smile. I can change someone's world with a kind act or something nice to say, and it's the same for someone who can do the same for me, you know? I'd rather smile at somebody than frown at them, or hug somebody rather than hit them.
"Execute the Sounds"
P.O.D. is a prideful San Diego band. We'll always throw a little hometown love into our music, and that's one of those songs. I just combined a lot of the vibes P.O.D. had through our entire 12 years, and I think it's a style that comes natural to us and that it is real to us.
"Find My Way"
It started with us just sitting around talking about the parable, and the old Testament, and the Prodigal Son. And we started talking about the freedoms that we have as people, as men, even our God-given freedoms to do whatever you want. And sometimes you take those freedoms and you tend to lose your way a little bit. But it's saying no matter what, there's always open arms for someone who believes.
"Revolution"
I was going through my closet and looking for a T-shirt to wear, and I found a Bob Marley T-shirt that says, "It takes a revolution to make a solution." And I thought, "What a cool statement." My thing wasn't about "Grab your guns and let's get going and let's make our movement," it was more like "To start a revolution you need to start within." You need to change yourself within before you make anyone else feel what you feel or understand what you've come to know. I need to check myself every day and make that revolution within myself.
"Reasons"
Everyone has a reason. Everybody has an excuse to try to make you understand where they're coming from. And they can be as wrong as saying the sky is purple and yellow and red, and the sky's blue, but they have their reasons and they will die by what their excuse is. For me, I don't want to be that person. You say the sky is red, blue, purple, then that's what it is, my friend.
"Freedom Fighters"
It's a tribute to the men and women that give their life every day for the freedoms that you and I have as Americans. I watched people and their attitudes towards the war, and everyone is entitled to their opinions, but I started seeing people so quick to complain and so quick to bash. By no means is this country perfect and by no means is this government perfect. But I'm still American, and I thank God for the men and women that sacrifice every day so that I can be in a rock and roll band.
"Waiting on Today"
It's a feel-good song about growing up with my friends and just being the young guys out on our own and trying to experience life as we knew it, and just remembering all the good times we had and how it was. We were 10 bachelors living in a two-bedroom house and we felt like we could take on the world.
"I and Identify"
It's a Rasta term. It just means you within, or it could be you and understanding God, or Jah, in Rasta terms. But it's all about love. This is what I believe love is. Love is gentle, love is pure, love is kind. It's all those things.
"Asthma"
It was a concept that Jason came up with. He's always wanted to do a song about asthma, and we were like, "Why?" And he said it was more about his own personal experience, and it can relate to anybody that tries to push their views on you or tell you how you should live. That's suffocating. It goes, "I would die to breathe again." That's how important it is to think for myself, and that's how important it is to believe what I know is true, and if not, I'd rather be dead.
"Eternal"
("Eternal" is an instrumental track)
