Go
The Distance - Song
Summaries by Walter Trout
(short
extracts from the FULL interview published in the Fan
Club magazine)
Message
on the Doorway
Inspired
by a homeless woman who I've written about on previous albums.
It fits in with a chronicle of songs I've composed about life in
Huntington Beach. She had an
incredible writing talent but truth be known, I wrote the lyrics on a
Virgin Atlantic vomit bag during a flight from England to home.
Love
So Deep
This song took us the most work in the studio. It started out super fast
and we eventually slowed it down. It's
got a kicking groove and is definitely reminiscent of my days playing with
Canned Heat.
Ride
'Til I'm Satisfied
An analogy of a guy taking a long motor cycle trip, just out seeing where
he can go with no particular destination in mind, just taking the trip for
the experience of doing it and not even knowing where he is going to end
up, which is what my whole career has been.
Go
The Distance
Another career analogy. A
boxer is just trying to make it through the fight, maybe not winning. Dare
I say like the movie Rocky where
his whole goal was to stay on his feet through the fight and not get
knocked out.
Bugle
Billie
A buddy who I played with in the drum and bugle corps that got killed in
Vietnam.
Out
of Control
It's just a fun balls out rock and roll song - - the exact opposite of Bugle Billie.
We're
Doing Just Fine
It’s
an actual slow blues with a positive
message; it doesn’t say, "My baby left me, I’m bummed out."
It says, "Hey babe we’re doing great, things are going good for
us."
Gotta
Leave This Town
My advice to a band in a certain English town who I always tell to move to
London in order to launch their career.
Looking
For The Promised Land
I refer to Moses and Daniel from the bible, and Martin Luther King as
historical figures who tried to make a better world.
I
Don't Want My MTV
Just
listen to it.
Always
Been A Dreamer
It’s another thing kinda looking at my life and seeing where I’ve come
from and how I ended up here. It ends with a little reference to falling
in love with my wife. On that note I have a ballad called Faithful.
Faithful
A
declaration to my wife that in the eleven years we have been together I
have been faithful to her. Another really simple tune with a message
specifically for my wife.
Down
To You
It’s
a hard rocking tune with distorted guitars and me screaming. The lyrics
are blatantly Christian.
A FULL in depth description and comments about
how each track was recorded and the FULL stories behind them are printed
in the Fan Club magazine.
