Story behind the song
This song was written in memory of "The Band" from the HMS Titanic. As the ship was sinking, in knee deep icy waters these heroric men knew that this was their last thing to do on this earth as death was almost certain. Never once trying to save themselves, there were not enough lifeboats. In the midst of all this they played on, for the final time.
Lyrics

Tsunamis crash in your head
You’re tired and hurt but you not dead
Sometimes
Life's going to rock you
Sing your song
The band played on
Icy waters on your lips
The lifeboats are all gone
Sometimes
Life's going to rock you
Sing your song
The band played on
You see your fate in the stars
It all seems so very far
Launch your rocket
Hold on
Sing your song
Sing your song
The band played on
Yeah the band played on
