"Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades" - Brand New

Band:  Brand New
Album:  Deja Entendu
Released:  June 17, 2003
Home Town: Long Island, NY
Why is it on here?:  I remember waiting in anticipation for this album to come out back in 2002 and 2003 -- I was not disappointed.  Deja Entendu moved Brand New from the category of "pretty cool power pop band" to a legitimate rock band.  This song is intense and the video has a really cool premise.  The song name is a quote taken from the 1998 Wes Anderson movie, Rushmore and means "Thus passes through the glory of the world".  Interesting but I'm not sure I get it...
