I have a mystery for u all to follow, plz read :)
 

:confused: at the start of the song, who's got my back, why did they have the "yohalay haleyheyah" thing, it's been puzzling me for AGES now, lol, if u know then help would be gr8ly appriciated, tnx, bye

It's a Native American chant. Scott comes from a Native American background. Does that help?

I read somewhere it was a Cherokee Indian from NC where Scott lived awhile as a child, I know his grand parents are cherokee, he definatley has that dark serious native vibe to him!!!:rolleyes:

tnx :D
 

cheers for ure help, i guess ure all big Creed fans :D c yaz!
:band:

how do you know that his grandparents are cheroke? His sisters dont look it at all. With the blonde hair and light eyes? Is it on his mothers side or his fathers side?

The whole song was about the Native American discrimation thing. Scott is 1/16th Cherokee Indian and he brought in a Indian Chanter named Daivd something..i can't remember

It is on his mother's side. Scott's got 2 sisters, one Amanda who is his sister and Aimee is his half sister, her dad has blue eyes. Dr. Stapp is Scott's adoptive father! That's the scoop. Amanda looks a lot like Scott if you see pictures, all though she has dark blonde hair.

i didnt know that. who is scott and amanda's biological father then? and when did dr. stapp marry scott's mom?

he said they were Cherokee Indian on The Vh1 eligible bachelor show

i wonder if that indian stuff is like words and what r they saying?

According to the Rolling Stone article of last winter, Scott's bio. father left them all when Scott was very very young, Scott barely remembered him, but has since met him. It's not a strong relationship by any means but that's where the Cherokee part comes from. Dr. Stapp married Scott's mother when Scott was young and raised him as his own.

wow
 

i got quite a convo started dint i! :P

Somewhere Scott said that it is not words and can't be translated. The chanting is more about conveying moods and feelings I think.

The Cherokee Indian chanting at the beginning is a rather famous guy called Bo Taylor.

I read that same thing Stapp said. He said it's like a tribal chant to a god or something or other.
