Clutch has launched the first of a series of video clips with frontman Neil Fallon explaining his thinking behind the lyrics of various Clutch songs. He explains the meaning behind “Abraham Lincoln” below.

This is the first in a series of clips we will be making public over the next couple of weeks and months. In these clips I speak about Clutch songs, both older and younger, and explain my thinking behind the lyrics. The loose theme under which the tracks were picked is myth and mythology. Stay tuned to Clutch’s facebook page for more of these. As today marks the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s death, it seems only appropriate to begin this series with our song, “Abraham Lincoln.”@npfallon
