Goodbye for Now - by P.O.D.

For us students who are saying such... Ok, well, maybe the actual message doesn't fit that exact scenario perfectly, but it's the thought that counts, right?
P.O.D. (Payable on Death) is based out of San Diego, CA.  They started in 1992, after Paul Joshua "Sonny" Sandoval's mother passed away of leukaemia & he became a Christian - he joined his cousin Wuv Bernardo & his friend Marcos Curiel; Gabe Portillo became their bassist but was replaced by Traa Daniels in '94 (they released 1 LP before then - "Snuff the Punk" in '93).  They're now 6 albums later, with the latest being "When Angels & Serpents Dance", released April 8th, 2008.  Some side trivia: Sonny made the girl's name Nevaeh popular after giving his daughter said name (& it apparently "has gained traction faster than any name since the [U.S.] government began tracking names in 1880").  This song is from their album "Testify", released Jan. 24th, 2006.  (& as a bit more trivia, it features Katy Perry before she got into the mainstream).
