OK...I'm confused. I don't know the song, so you'll have to explain this one to me.

Its a semi religious song that carries with it a form of independence.

Watch the video here: http://musicbox.sonybmg.com/video/audioslave?bcpid=187769871&bclid=187759619&bctid=192891602

It's a cool song! I like the music. The words are a little depressing, though. I'm not sure that I agree with all of them.

Interesting choice, though.

[quote="Bond...James Bond"] And I think the obvious one is "Secret Agent Man".

I always thought that one was "Secret Asian Man."

Well, theres a parody song called "little asian man" based off that song. Mildly funny. about a guy on a broken bike delivering chinese food.

its a rock balad that i first heard from the anime Cowboy Bebop, (it has the best soundtrack of any anime I've watched) im at work posting this particular reply. Once i get home, ill post a copy of the song.

Once you hear it, i think you might understand why i choose it. its a really good song. (imho)

EDIT: actualy, now that i think about it, several of the songs i referanced where rather obscure, ill post em all when i get home.
