Shinedown Debut New Single
Listen to \'Bully\' here
The song is the first to be taken from forthcoming new album Amaryllis, which should be released in the spring.
Guitarist Zack Myers said this of the song on his Facebook page "When you write a song with such a serious and sometimes controversial topic most feel you have to tread lightly and watch what you say. On this one we didn’t really feel like that.”
"I made it out alive,” said Myers, "Bullying in those days weren’t as bad as it has gotten now. There are kids who take their own lives because they feel there is now way out!”
He continued, "I promise there are more of US people who got picked on or ridiculed than there are of THEM. And I’m not saying start fights or start a war. But STAND UP! If you know someone getting bullied or your kids are bullying someone ELSE, get involved! This HAS to stop!”
