"Pain" is the second single from rock band Three Days Grace's second album, One-X.
According to the band, the song is based on the pain and loneliness encountered on the road during their tours. The band describes this as when people are inches away from you, but you feel miles apart. They allow themselves to be immersed in pain and depression, while they try to listen to a voice that tries to help them break free of this pain.
Chart performance
"Pain" has become the band's biggest hit to date. It reached #1 on the Modern Rock chart (the second single titled "Pain" to do such, the first by Jimmy Eat World) for 4 consecutive weeks, becoming their biggest hit on that chart so far. On the Mainstream Rock chart, it reached #1 and stayed there for an impressive 13 consecutive weeks. It has also hit #44 on the US Hot 100, becoming their first single to chart in the top 50 of the Hot 100.
"Pain" also held the number one spot on many Canadian rock stations for weeks, and was the number one most requested song 10 weeks in a row.
"Pain" reached #1 on Much Music's Top 100 Countdown.
The song was also featured on an episode on Grey's Anatomy, CSI: NY, and Ghost Whisperer.
"Pain" was re-released to pop radio on June 3, 2008. This could possibly be due the result of the success of "Never Too Late".
Music Video
The video, directed by Tony Petrossian, features the band playing the song in what looks to be an abandoned mansion, and it also features shots of troubled youths who are lip-syncing to the song. At the end of the song, everyone (youths and the band members alike) is shown to be wearing a red "X" on the back of their necks.
Versions
There are currently two versions of the song "Pain" being played on radio stations; the original album version and an acoustic version. The acoustic version of "Pain" and "Animal I Have Become" are both available for download on most online music stores including iTunes.
