WHAT I THINK THE SONG IS ABOUT:
"Moment Of The Day" appears to be a song about not letting things in life bring you down in the present because tomorrow is another day. It's really about striving to be better tomorrow no matter what it bringing you down or holding you back today. This song originally appeared on the self-released Thousand Foot Krutch album "That's What People Do". That album is hard to find for fans so thankfully, TFK put many of those songs on the 2004 remastered version of "Set It Off". "Moment Of The Day" can be found on that remastered album.

CURRENT STATUS OF THOUSAND FOOT KRUTCH:
Thousand Foot Krutch was formed as a band back in 1995. This Ontario, Canada project is really the vision of frontman and songwriter Trevor McNevan. Originally, the project was called Oddball, but eventually morphed into Thousand Foot Krutch. In 1998, the band self-released the album "That's What People Do". In 2000, TFK dropped what is for the most part considered their "real" debut album, "Set It Off". It was clear early on that TFK's sound was that of a rock/rap type band. In 2003, however, Thousand Foot Krutch signed a deal with Tooth & Nail records, a deal that would span the better part of eight years together. Their sound also shifted to a more nu-metal sound with their album "Phenomenon". This album sold over 200,000 units making it one of Tooth & Nail's best selling albums to date. 2005 saw the band release "The Art Of Breaking". The hit single "Move" would reach #16 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart. In 2007, TFK dropped "The Flame In All Of Us". By this time, TFK had basically morphed into a full on mainstream rock outfit. 2009 saw the release of "Welcome To The Masquerade". This album would peak at #35 on the Billboard 200 charts thanks in part to the hit single "Fire It Up". The band would release their very first live album in 2011, "Live At The Masquerade". This album would end their long time deal with Tooth & Nail Records. In 2012, the band self-released "The End Is Where We Begin". This album reached #1 in the band's native Canada and peaked at #5 on Itunes. In 2014 and 2016 respectively, the band dropped what could be considered "sister" albums, "Oxygen:Inhale" and "Exhale". The latter peaked at #34 on the Billboard 200 charts. Both of those albums were released on the band's own label TFKMusic. Most recently, TFK released their second live album, "Untraveled Roads" in 2017. Thousand Foot Krutch, thankfully, shed the whole rock/rap thing very early on in their career to become a solid melodic, mainstream rock outfit. The band has ties to being considered a "Christian" rock band as their faith is prominent in some of their songs plus their relationship with Christian punk label Tooth & Nail. Faith is a big part of who they are so of course, it's going to run in some of their songs but by no means, is their music saturated by it. A lot of their songs are anthemic, which is why you often hear some of their music at various sporting events. Some of their songs tend to "fire you up"!! No pun intended! TFK has been putting out music pretty much every other year throughout their career so I would assume they have something perculating on the new music front. If you enjoy bands like Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, 12 Stones, 3 Doors Down or Trapt, then you would most likely enjoy the music of Thousand Foot Krutch. Just move past the early rock/rap thing. That type of music should have just begun and ended with Rage Against The Machine!
