"My Sacrifice" opened the account for Weathered, Creed's third album, arriving on Wind-up as its lead single in October 2001. Scott Stapp wrote the words and co-wrote the music with guitarist Mark Tremonti, and it's the band at full, soaring tilt: Tremonti's guitars ring and churn and then come crashing down, and Stapp sings in that deep, heavy-lidded baritone, reaching for something between a hymn and a thank-you note.

It was a monster at rock radio, sitting at number one on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart for nine straight weeks from December 2001, and it climbed to number four on the Hot 100. It was a top-20 hit in Britain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, and it earned a Grammy nomination.
