"The Past" is the second single from the Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow album produced by the American heavy metal band Sevendust. This song, with lead vocals from Lajon Witherspoon and featuring guest vocals by American Idol performer Chris Daughtry, is a bit of a departure for the band, falling more into the Post Grunge category than what fans have come to expect from Sevendust. "Sorrow", another song found on Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow, is similar in tone and also contains guest vocals, this time by Myles Kennedy. Sevendust has not yet created a music video for "The Past".
The song was written as a song of hope and with have positive message to look back on your life and reflect and to feel good about getting through the rough times that everyone goes through, the roller coaster of life so to speak.
The song reached #27 in the Mainstream Rock Chart.
