Through My Veins and Light The Way - ASIA
Through My Veins and Light The Way: Mr.Howe's original songs, completely rearranged, and lyrically re-addressed. If Steve ever puts out a 'Homebrew' with the demo of TMV and LTW, you'll see how they changed. My idea for TMV was a more persistent, U2-type 8th note pulse,with a key-change, and strong harmonies for the chorus. There is also a sequenced keyboard from GD, but it's quite low in the final mix, but it provided the 'glue' for the preliminary overdubs.ハウのオリジナルとは大分異なるできあがりだったようです。

FINGER ON THE TRIGGER - ASIA （OMEGA）
Finger on the Trigger: As we all know, a song originally appearing on Rubicon iCon II, became our Frontiers record company boss Serafino's favourite, and because of this , was re-recorded for Omega. It's more rocky than it's progenitor, but (because of that very fact), for my money, lacks the finesse of the original. John Mitchell, Steve Christey, and Hugh McDowell did a tremendous job on the iCon version, and it was superbly engineered by Rob Aubrey.It's an overtly sexual reference involving plenty phallic and vulvar symbolism.ウェットン氏は「ＲＵＢＩＣＯＮ」ヴァ－ジョンがお気に入りのようですね。歌詞が意図するところは…？(笑)【送料無料】【期間限定20％OFF】エイジア／オメガ価格：2,240円（税込、送料込）

My idea for TMV was a more persistent, U2-type 8th note pulse,with a key-change, and strong harmonies for the chorus. There is also a sequenced keyboard from GD, but it's quite low in the final mix, but it provided the 'glue' for the preliminary overdubs.Holy War: Geoff's title, my lyric. I'm a big student of medieval warfare---one of the best authors to read for factual as well as fictional material is Bernard Cornwell--his detail is staggering, and his descriptions of Crusades battles are second-to-none. My lyrics will always give a positive slant, and at the end of the song, just as in another of our anti-war songs, 'Wildest Dreams', the whole message turns on its head,and with the introduction of 'we want no more Holy War', it becomes a pacifist mantra. I got an email from a professor at Cambridge saying what a pleasure it was to see the word 'Trebuchet' in a rock song. The Trebuchet was an original 'WMD', a massive catapult capable of unbelievable destruction and carnage.Ever Yours: No Asia album would be complete without at least one blatant love song, a no-holds-barred churning bucket of sentimental lurve, with more than a hint at the Universal Power for the Positive--whatever form that takes for you, be it Lady Luck, a Guardian Angel,or your god.Listen Children: This refers to an event which actually took place, in a village near Grasse, in Provence, southern France, in the summer of 1992. It was a little festival, with children having the time of their lives. With no limitations, curfew, or much parental supervision, an innocent twilight perfect evening, with a band, eating, drinking, and much pleasure, in a balmy , warm, joyful summer village fete. The mood of the lyric is drawn from 'Uncle John's Band' by the Grateful Dead, and the vocal chorus from 'Carry On Wayward Son' by Kansas, but of course, the final result is nothing like either--- these are just some of the reference points in my head.There was an opening for putting 'La Marseillaise' quintone very quietly under 'Ecoutez', it was never done, but I always sing it when I hear the track . It's essentially Geoff's track, with my melody and lyric, some have called it overly sentimental, but I love it.End of the World: Always one of my favourite from the whole record, it was written towards the end of the recording, when GD and I were very focussed.For me, it's very Asia, from the bombastic intro to the melodic pop chorus. If you don't know what Auto-da-Fe is, it's being damned if you don't, and damned if you do. I love the way the chord sequences dovetail, it's a real Wetton/Downes stereotype---love it. The lyric, of course, is autobiographical--all of my stuff is, just some is more than others. One of the lines that I started the chorus with, but ditched, was 'I don't wanna spend the rest of my days in an alcohol haze'. I preferred 'I believe that God is Love', but it's strange how songs and lyrics start their lives, and how they magically transform into the final version.There Was A Time: This was a something that came out of one of our (JW/GD)writing sessions at my house, on the 'magic piano'. We developed it further at Geoff's studio in Wales, and lyrically is very much a retrospective look back at a time with a specific person----the woman in question is a spouse/partner---where did it go wrong? What could I have done?As the writer wishes her only the best, it ends with an optimistic 'There will come a time for you' over a brilliant shuffle that Carl does so well, and a superb solo from Mr. Howe.I'm Still The Same: A tune that I had, a rock-based shuffle which is actually the 'other half' of a ballad, which starts with the same C to Fm modulation. I first mentioned the coupling to Mike Paxman very early on in the recording process, that it would be great to have two songs----one ballad, and one rock--- on the same record, with a chordal, melodic correlation and lyrical continuity. Initially he was excited about the prospect, but when we played the rough sketches on piano, he said 'nice chords, but....." I don't think Mike understood fully what we were capable of at that time. I believe that if we were to present again, he would understand. The finished article (ISTS) doesn't quite hit the spot as far as I'm concerned--it's not rocky enough---the guitar is very jazz, and the drums aren't heavy enough. That's no fault of Steve Howe, or Carl Palmer, it's my fault for not being there at the time. What's also my fault is the fact that the song has no bridge ---there is a 'C' section which was never recorded, and it fits perfectly with the ballad which forms the 'other half' of the piece. Hopefully, you'll hear that in the next year or so. This song has a lovely chorus, but possibly would have benefitted from being an iCon song, with iCon treatment---you never know, that might just happen. The lyric is about a man totally mystified by his partner's about face behaviour, about his partner's head being turned by another, when it is obvious to him that it will never work. We do the strangest things in the name of love, no question that we are considered to be' insane' when in love. Big Brian Wilson influence on vocal harmonies, as usual.Drop a Stone: Written in Kansas City, at one of our road-writing afternoons in a hotel room on a day off. It is not really the way I had intended, it was meant (in my head) to be more Floydian, spacey, with a huge vocal and massive synthesizers. It is now a blues tune, hence it is a bonus track. Steve does incredibly well on this song, if anything it's turned into a country tinged blues song. The vocal is in-your-face, up close and personal---not the way I had intended, but that's what happens .I suppose, because it was written in Kansas City, it was destined to have a blues flavour. It's about having faith, helping someone else, and about letting go ---sometimes when we think we need to hang on with all our might, the best thing we can do is let go. Emily: The 'other' bonus track. In my opinion, neither track is a 'bonus' that's just a marketing device, and has nothing to do with what I'm writing about here. Emily--as has been well-documented in my guestbook--was someone I met on the eastern seaboard of the US a couple of years ago. I was genuinely taken by this woman, but on further investigation, discovered she was gay. That is fine, but the moment I was told of her sexual preference, that first verse came to me instantly. When Geoff and I were going through material late one morning, Geoff said 'you got anything else, m8? I pulled out Emily, not thinking that she would fly, but--on the contrary--she also went down extremely well with our producer. I'm really pleased at how she turned out. Numerologically very satisfying-- 'Emily', and 'KAZ 53513' are both '1' combos. It's Britpop in the tradition of the four moptops, the Kinks, XTC, 10cc , et al----a kind of legacy for English musos.I Believe: One of the last songs written for Omega. On a rainy afternoon in the Welsh Valleys, after a lunch of chicken and Nando's incendiary hot chilli sauce, I pulled out a tune that had been in my head since crossing the Severn Bridge that morning (this bridge links England and Wales, is spectacular, and very very inspiring. Sometimes I just want to stop, and sit for a while--but you're not allowed to --for the mile or so of bridge, you must keep moving).Geoff instantly added the verse, and there we had it. Thankyou, Nando.Don't Wanna Lose You Now: I just wrote the verse part of the song on 12-string acoustic guitar, and the words fell out of my mouth simultaneously. There was the first verse. I didn't know what it was about (I thought it was a straightforward love song) but it dawned on me that all of these word were saying 'thankyou'--it was a debt of thanks to someone, and it occurred to me that I may be talking to the audience the person listening to the record, or the ticket-holder at a concert. So the rest of the song (including Geoff's beautifully crafted bridges) fell into place. It's about being grateful, not taking anything for granted, and enjoying the moment. 楽天ブックスの「ブログネタ」をブログで紹介して10万ポイント山分けに参加しよう

Asia - Midnight Sun
MS was one of the tunes where GD had a verse/intro, and I had the chorus already written, they just spliced together fairly seamlessly. There were many lyric options, because the canvas is very wide with that kind of a concept. We spent a lot of time in Norway around that time, so............... (JW)

Out of the songs that were written for Omega
「オメガ」に関するＪＷのコメントです。Out of the songs that were written for Omega, Sunshine, the germ of 'DAS' was hatched in Kansas City, which may explain partially its pentatonic heritage. There was always a chance that one song would 'misfire'--i.e. not come out the way it was originally intended. This happens when you work with a producer, and sometimes it has a very positive effect.There were several contenders for misfire up until, and during, final overdubs, but I'd originally envisaged 'DAS' with a dramatic kind of Pink Floyd arrangement, and when Mike Paxman suggested an amalgamation with a SH instrumental (guitar) section,it took a turn for the mid-tempo blues, and consequently doesn't quite 'fit' with the rest of the material. Not that it's a bad thing---lots of you will love it---- it's turned into a guitar feature! Steve's playing is tremendous on the piece, and I'm sure you will enjoy that, but originally, I had drawn some inspiration for the conception of DAS from my performance of Roger Waters' 'Hey You'. So, if you want to see how I would have done it, take a listen--it's on Back Against the Wall.You all know the story behind 'Emily', and maybe its slightly gauche/na?ve edge sets it apart from the rest, but Emily' came out pretty much the way it was intended. For some reason not known to me, it was given a 'bonus' status. As Emily is on every copy of Omega, it bewilders me why it should be a bonus, but I see that DAS is slightly oddball, when viewed in the light of the whole album----so I don't mind. Its writing is credited to all four Asians, which I guess ironically displays the original meaning of bonus----a 'goodie'. Usually, bonus tracks are quirky odds and ends that true fans adore, and regular people don't understand at all (with 'Harbour Wall' /'Sleep Angel', for instance, some people didn't realize it was the same song). When it comes to choosing singles, bonus tracks, etc, these things, these days, are best left to record company. Looking back on our Geffen/Universal years, if they(record co.) make a mistake, no-one is to blame, but if we do, we're never allowed to forget it.End of the World. Contrary to the title's inferred Armageddon, the punch line of the song is 'NOT the end of the world'. Despite the bleak devastation of the first verse, the chorus is very optimistic, telling the listener that whatever happens, it's not the end of the world, no matter how bad it may seem (auto-da-f?, for instance) . Although I'm not religious, I really like the bold statement that 'I believe that God is love, and that's enough'---- depending on what, or whom, your God is, that's really all you need, you'll never be alone. It's one of the last tunes that GD and I wrote together in Wales for Omega, and the album was nearly complete by the time this, 'There Was a Time', 'I Believe' and 'Still the Same' came into being. We tend to be more focussed on what needs to be written, the further into the project we get, and these four came quite easily, although I would add that I would consider 'STS' incomplete, it needed another section. There was another section available, GD and I had discussed it months previously at my house. A pity, really, it would have made the song for me. As it is, the tune comes out quite jazzy, whereas it was meant to be very hard rock, with a Beach Boys softness to the vocal. 'I Believe' hit me as I was driving over the Severn Bridge toward Geoff's studio.this has happened before, when I get to the studio, I just have to sit down at the keyboard and rattle off the melodic idea, with the machine in record,or it will be gone. This is done before we even have coffee, so desperate is it . 'Don't wanna Lose You Now' was a little song I'd started on 12-string acoustic guitar (one of the few, along with the main tune of 'There Was A Time'. With both of these, the lyric to the first verse came at the same time as the melody/chords, then Geoff added his contribution when we met in Wales. There is absolutely no formula to our writing, it comes in as many ways as there are songs. 04/11/10 at 06:19 PM Reply with quote #18
