"Wait" kicked off Two, Earshot's 2004 second album on Warner Bros., and it's the song that finally put the band on the map. It never matched their debut single "Get Away" on the charts, but it did more for them, pulling the band into the mainstream.
The lyric wallows in loneliness and a numb indifference to the world, yet the music refuses to mope: it charges ahead, quick and headstrong, like somebody gritting their teeth and deciding to get through it. That drive made it a natural for sports and games. It landed on the soundtracks to Madden NFL 2005 and MX vs. ATV Unleashed, with an alternate take billed as The D.O.C. vs. Earshot, turned up on the Tampa Bay Lightning's Stanley Cup DVD, and became the walkout music of UFC fighter Sean Sherk.
