Sing for the Moment

Sing for the Moment

Eminem

This song was the fourth single released from Eminem’s fourth studio album The Eminem Show. It was an international hit, reaching the top 10 in several countries and peaking at #14 in the US in May 2003.

Eminem interpolates “Dream On” by Aerosmith, and has their guitarist Joe Perry play the guitar solo towards the end of the song. The track also samples its drums from Titanic’s “I See No Reason”.

While addressing his effect on youth of the world, Em touches on his altercation with bouncer John Guerra (altered in this song as ‘Guerrera’, the Spanish word for ‘female warrior’). Em claims to have punched him not “pistol whipped” him (as Guerra claimed).
