Brand New took "Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades" from their second album, Deja Entendu, and borrowed its title from Rushmore: the line is one of Max Fischer's best-remembered in the 1998 film, a twist on an old Latin tag about worldly glory slipping away.
Under the Latin is a wounded post-hardcore coming-of-age story about a teenage boy, green and out of his depth, who is used by an older woman and loses his virginity to her. Vocalist Jesse Lacey has said he once expected to wait until marriage, or at least the right person. Sent to radio on November 18, 2003, it reached number 37 on the UK singles chart.
