How does somebody get "nearly" injured?  Either he was or he wasn't...

Any movie can be "synched" to any album.  You notice the dozens of coincidences and go "wow" — whilst ignoring the thousands of non-coincidences...

His site didn't mention this, and I imagine it would have. One thing I did find interested, mentioned at his site, was that he wrote "The Saga Begins" before actually seeing the movie, based on what he HEARD happened in the movie over the internet. He did this because he wanted to get the song recorded as soon as possible after the movie came out. He did end up having to make one change to the lyrics based on a false rumor he heard. He had a line about Anakin proposing marriage to Queen Amidalah. He just changed it to say Anakin was in love with her.
