About this song
"Manhattan" is the fourth single from the album and continued the band's move toward a more pop-focused Southern rock sound.
What it's about
The song tells the story of Native Americans, beginning with the beauty and freedom of their earlier way of life and ending with how it was all taken away. It still holds onto hope that the spirit of that history survives in some people, even though it has largely been forgotten.
