Godsmack's "Serenity" came off Faceless in 2003, and it's Sully Erna's salute to a childhood hero, Rush drummer Neil Peart. Erna wrote it after reading Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road, Peart's account of the motorcycle odyssey along the Pan-American Highway he took after losing his daughter and his wife within a year of each other: 55,000 miles in 14 months, healing on the road. Erna called what came out of it dark and tribal, and David Bottrill produced.
Erna wanted the man himself on the track and sent Peart a demo, but touring kept Peart away. He sent back his blessing instead, along with kind words for the song. It went on to number 7 on the Mainstream Rock chart and number 10 on Modern Rock.
