Not a metaphor, about a literal road.

Piano solo.

More piano than I expected.

"On the track with a sack on his back"...

"Wearing a pac-a-mac and some knick-knacks and a crackerjack!"

Crackerjack!

First guitar solo.

I reckon this track contains his best guitar work.

It has all his fluidity we'd got used to but also an added vigour.

by Guest Wed May 06, 2020 7:05 pm

I wonder what the demo version of this sounds like?

by Nightjar Wed May 06, 2020 7:05 pm

This is quite boring.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed May 06, 2020 7:05 pm

Quiet piano solo.

Is that a threat? Sly

The dynamics of this track are extraordinary, the way it keeps switching from low-key to melodramatic and back again.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Wed May 06, 2020 7:07 pm

Organ.

There are also echoes of "Pros and Cons", mainly due to the distinct early-'80s production.

When the quiteish bits are on I can imagine Rog' muttering "no, marmalade"...

I bet Rog went to his producer, make this sound like Love over Gold.
