Track 6. Salute To The People was a song that I wrote when my band "unsettled" was getting ready to record what would be our final project, "The Burning Charismata". I wanted to have a fun song that would be just perfect for live shows. It had to be a song I could envision a crowd of people at a city club or music venue rocking out to whilst enjoying their euphoric state of half-drunk. I wanted it to be raucous and loud. I started out with a riff and the chorus was born. I was in our practice room with my amp cranked up and started playing the chords. All of a sudden, the words just popped into my head and I started singing them at the top of my lungs. I wrote it in about 30 minutes. I never pitched it to the band though and I'm not sure why. But when I started putting "Loose Cannon" together, I knew I was gonna have it on there. Hope you enjoy it, it's for you. Here are the lyrics:
Salute To The People
I know you’ve got to let go
Don’t think I think you don’t know
You’ve got one chance to take so
Fall in salute to the people
You got us here
You hold us high
You know our names
What we play and why
You shout our song
You scream and sing
You know the words
To the whole damn thing
I know you’ve got to let go
Don’t think I think you don’t know
You’ve got one chance to take so
Fall in salute to the people
You break the doors
Bend the walls
Long as you’re inside
You don’t care at all
Your crazy friends
They stayed at home
You’re here by yourself
But you’re not alone
