I  Remember

Picture
Contrary to the title I don't remember exactly how I got the inspiration for this song. Sometimes themes just emerge, and you make sense out of them as you go along. Sometimes the challenge is in determining what it is that the Lord wants to say through the song. You get the germ of an idea without really knowing where it's going sometimes, and you get the sense of it as you go along. 

This song is from the viewpoint of a non-Christian. He is singing the lyric to a friend who has confessed to be a Christian,  but is not living his life up to the expectation of the non-Christian.  He is questioning some of the hypocritical things that he sees in the lifestyle of the supposed Christian.  In the end of the song he is so turned off that he doesn't even want to try Christianity. Obviously I was trying to get people to see the importance of "walking what we talk", and being a good witness to the people around us. I suppose this approach was a little off center from what people were used to, but I think most people got it and I never heard any negative comments about it.

Production note: The idea for the Jon Linn guitar solos at the end was inspired from a passage in the Beatles album "Abbey Road."  Near the end of that Beatle album, there is a guitar solo section which is part of the tune called "The End,"  where they overdubbed George Harrison, Paul Mccrtney and John Lennon guitar solos on different, almost overlapping tracks.  The sound of the guitar and even possibly the amplifiers changed with each lick, and I thought that was a cool effect. We duplicated the technique on the end of "I Remember" having Jon change even the guitar he used on every passage. It was fun to be able to use such an admired technique on one of my own albums.
