Legacy

In a 2014 interview, guitarist Mike Martin reflected on the song, stating, "To be perfectly honest, what made that record special is “Two Weeks”. We don’t play any songs off that record except for “Two Weeks” and “Forever In Your Hands”. The biggest deal about that record is “Two Weeks,” which is still the biggest song we have ever had. That was the biggest move for our career; it tacked 10 more years onto our career. We had no idea it was going to do that; it was a complete accident. It got on the radio and on stations, and people were just flipping over it. We never had a song last that long on the radio. It was just one of those things that really worked out in our favor. Every ounce of success of Overcome was because of “Two Weeks”. [8]
