Top 10 Seether Rock Songs.....

Seether is a South-African rock band from Johannesburg, formed in 1999. The band is currently signed to Wind-up Records. Originally named Saron Gas and signed to Musketeer Records in South Africa, they changed their name in 2002, coinciding with the release of their second album and major label debut, Disclaimer. To date they have sold 5 million albums worldwide.

Number 10 - Seether Gasoline

The music video for the song features the band performing in a darkened space and a girl in her bedroom surrounded by fashion magazines and cosmetics. As the video progresses, the girl is shown using the cosmetics in an attempt to cover words that are scrawled on her face such as "liar" and "hypocrite." As the song reaches the bridge and final chorus, it is revealed that the band had been performing behind the mirror as singer Shaun Morgan busts through it, knocking over a candle and setting fire to her magazines.

Morgan later recalled on the Disclaimer II DVD that the video didn't turn out the way he had intended and that certain shots, such as Morgan appearing as an apparition on the girl's bed as she attempted to cover her face, were interpreted incorrectly by the video's director.

Number 9 - Seether Breakdown (Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces)

"Breakdown" is the third track and the third single from Seether's third album, Finding Beauty In Negative Spaces. Shaun Morgan has stated that the song is not about former girlfriend Amy Lee, but references a more recent relationship. To further the point, Morgan has been quoted saying "Amy and I, at our worst moments, were still better than this last girl and I at our best moments".[1]

The song was released to radio in the middle of August 2008 and quickly became one of the most added singles to active rock radio at the time.

Number 8 - Seether The Gift (Disclaimer 2)

The music video was written and directed by Meiert Avis. The song is about a man who kills a young girl in a car crash in Southern Mexico. Each year, on The Day of the Dead, he visits her cross on the side of the road where she died, he sleeps next to her cross that night. Meanwhile the ghost of little girl goes into town with a Cuandera to visit her family, father (who beat her) and sister, who the man was going out with. As he is driving to her cross, he sees her walking on the side of the road. The little girl ghost leaves candy skulls on the man's bed – representing the forgiveness she gives him. The "Gift" is the life he took, and the forgiveness she gives him.

The story is punctuated with shots of the band playing the song in a darkened room illuminated only by bare hanging lightbulbs.

Number 7 - Seether Rise Above The (Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces)

"Rise Above This" is the second single from Seether's album Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces.

"Rise Above This" was written to bring Eugene out of a depression.
