Into the Fire
The opening track of The Invitation, a UK 35 on September 13, 2004.
Thirteen Senses, from The Invitation (2004)
It is track one on The Invitation and the third single, out on two CDs and vinyl on September 13, 2004; it reached 35 in the UK. The writer credits come from a search summary of a credits listing, not a page we could open. We found no recording date or studio, and no statement from the band about the meaning; one fan site reads it as inner conflict, which is interpretation only, and ClassicRockHistory ranks it second among the band's songs and calls it motivational.
Its use on screen is wide: BBC One's Match of the Day, the Rescue Me season 2 trailer, the Grey's Anatomy pilot, the season 3 premiere of The 4400, Pretty Little Liars, Tru Calling, ER, the 2005 film The Best Man, WrestleMania XXV, MasterChef and Waterloo Road, plus a Jim Carrey clip show at the 2006 MTV Movie Awards. A 2011 YouTube montage of the Egyptian uprising set to it reportedly drew over 1.5 million views in under a week. An acoustic version came out in 2011, per a lyrics site we could not verify. Setlist.fm shows it tied with "Thru the Glass" as their most played song at nine performances each.
