100 Song March

I wrote the music for Ronnie’s lyrics about patience overcoming violence at a time when AC/DC and Muddy Waters were all I would listen to.“Backed into a corner of mirrorsYou got only yourself to blameChange is original sinWhen you play the sacrifice gameSometimes you find it even in your familyLike being at the mercy of Nazi charity“Baby, ain’t no need for suicide or murderthere’s always a way across if you walk a little furtheryou gotta walk a little furtheryou will find ways across.”You’ll notice that Ronnie at the time had a bad case of baby-itis. Almost every song gets at least one “baby”. It reminds me of a story I was told about the guy who sang for horrible hit band Foreigner. He had “hey-itis”. He had to sing “hey” at least twice in every song, and sometimes he’d add a “hey” after every line. Finally the producer said one more “hey” and you’re fired. That was the cure. Ronnie required nothing so drastic. Listen to the song: Click Here
