“This Is War” is a song by the American rock band 30 Seconds to Mars and written by lead vocalist Jared Leto. It was released in March of 2010 as the second single from the band’s third studio album also entitled “This Is War.”
In the song’s music video, the band wears US Army fatigues and goes into battle. The clip was directed by Edouard Salier, and filmed just outside Los Angeles. Leto told MTV News “The song is really about conflict, and the album really is about it too: the inevitability of conflict, the blessing of conflict and what we can all learn from it.”
Like many Americans, I lost a family member in the Twin Towers on 9/11. Thank you to all who helped that day, and the days after. May we all grow, learn, fight, pray, remember and find peace.
