"'Vindicated'" is a song by American rock band Dashboard Confessional. It was written by Chris Carrabba with production from Don Gilmore and Gil Norton. The song was released on May 31, 2004 as the lead single from the soundtrack of the film 'Spider-Man 2'. The song was included on Dashboard Confessional's fourth studio album, 'Dusk and Summer' (2006) as a bonus track on some pressings and on deluxe edition versions. Played over the film's end credits, "Vindicated" is the theme for the film.

History



Initially, a song titled "I Need a Sure Thing" was to be used on the 'Spider-Man 2' soundtrack; but, after having received a special screening of the film, Carrabba penned "Vindicated" in 10 minutes,Valmero A.
