"Through Glass" is the second single from the rock band Stone Sour's second album ''Come What(ever) May''. It reached the #1 spot on the ''Billboard'' Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in the US, where it remained for 7 weeks, and #2 on the Alternative Songs chart. The song also peaked at #39 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100〔("Stone Sour > Chart & Awards > Billboard Singles" ). ''Allmusic''〕 after crossing over to pop radio. It remains their most popular song to date. The song was featured in the film ''Grave Encounters 2''. ==Background== The song was originally inspired by frontman Corey Taylor's outrage at the music industry and how he felt that the musical revolution had never taken place. Taylor was quoted as having said: "I remember exactly where I was. It was 2004 and I was on tour with Slipknot. I was sitting in a European hotel room watching a music video channel, seeing act after act after act of this insane, innocuous, plastic music. They were plastic, bubbly, gossamer-thin groups where it was really more about the clothes they wore and the length of their cheekbones than it was about the content of the song they were singing. It really made me mad. I was like, is this it? Have we just gone full circle? Did the singer/songwriter revolution never happen? Is it just the same drivel from the same replicate over and over again? 'Through Glass' is really a very angry song. It's me basically calling 'bullshit' on pretty much everyone involved with the ''American Idol''-type shows. It has its place, but when you're basically cornering the market and making it very hard for anyone who actually writes their own music to get ahead, then it's wrong and that's really why I wrote this song." Years later Taylor elaborated on the origins of the song, saying that his watching European music television was brought on from a violent fit of food poisoning as a result of eating at a Swedish McDonald's restaurant and being unable to move and change the channel from MTV Europe.〔()〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Through Glass」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
