celebrating American heavy rockers Skillet's album Collide

Wikipedia shows that on this date in 2004 this album was re-released on Lava Records as "an enhanced CD with the bonus track "Open Wounds."
The original version of this album, the band's fifth, is not from 2004 but rather from November 18, 2003 on Ardent Records, according to the information on Wikipedia.
Below is the video for the song "Savior," for which there is story, according to Wikipedia: "A music video was made for the single 'Savior'. The video shows the band playing in both a house and at a park at night. It became only the second Skillet music video to include a story, after 'Best Kept Secret' from Invincible in 2000, though the story in the 'Savior' video is more heavily featured. The video shows an abusive father mistreating his children in the house, and the subsequent escape of the children from him. They make their way to the park, while the location where the band plays switches from one to the other. The video ends with the children being safe in their mother's arms. Lead singer and bassist, John Cooper, has said that 'Savior' is a song written mostly about his childhood. Although he was not physically abused by his father, he had a very destructive emotional relationship with him."
