Lead singer Bart Millard, in an interview with Kevin Davis of New Release Tuesday, stated that "We [MercyMe] wrote the song with our daughters in mind. The band has 15 kids among all of us... Satan targets our girls from a materialistic way, telling them how to act and how to look, what to eat and not to eat", also commenting that "I try to tell my kids all the time that they are perfect and I know my daughters need to get their confidence in themselves from me. The way they want to be treated by men needs to come from me".

Introduction

Introduction, The Introduction, Intro, or The Intro may refer to:

Introduction (music)

In music, the introduction is a passage or section which opens a movement or a separate piece, preceding the theme or lyrics. In popular music this is often abbreviated as intro. The introduction establishes melodic, harmonic, and/or rhythmic material related to the main body of a piece.

Introductions may consist of an ostinato that is used in the following music, an important chord or progression that establishes the tonality and groove for the following music, or they may be important but disguised or out-of-context motivic or thematic material. As such the introduction may be the first statement of primary or other important material, may be related to but different from the primary or other important material, or may bear little relation to any other material.

A common introduction to a rubato ballad is a dominant seventh chord with fermata, Play  an introduction that works for many songs is the last four or eight measures of the song, Play  while a common introduction to the twelve-bar blues is a single chorus. Play 

Intro (Gwar song)

"Intro" is the first "track" to GWAR's 2006 album Beyond Hell. Although not considered a "real song", this intro plays a part in building up tension for the next track, "War Is All We Know", and setting the mood for the album's story with its subdued, ominous atmosphere.

Relevance to Beyond Hell's plot

As the first track of the album, the Intro serves the purpose of creating a context for the story to develop in, telling us of how GWAR rest on their fortress, unaware of the fact they're about to be attacked by the Nazi Pope. An interesting point about the song is that the vocals resemble synthetized vocals by Jewcifer in "The One That Will Not Be Named", and it's likely that this is intentional.

Schroeder

Schroeder is a North German (from Schröder) occupational name for a cloth cutter or tailor, from an agent derivative of Middle Low German schroden, schraden ‘to cut’. The same term was occasionally used to denote a gristmiller as well as a shoemaker, whose work included cutting leather, and also a drayman, one who delivered beer and wine in bulk to customers; in some instances the surname may have been acquired in either of these senses. This name is widespread throughout central and eastern Europe which has been held by many notable people, including:
