Background
Let's Walk was the first complete song I wrote, and yet it is one of my most complex. I wrote it in late 1985.
It started as some instrumental takes based upon a simple little riff. The first sketch clearly missed the point, stylistically, and has nothing but the riff. It sounds like something they'd play to get you excited about a Sunday of football on NBC. YEAH!!!
The second sketch, showed incredible improvement. There are now like 7-8 parts: the 1/4/5-ey part under the riff, now enriched by a jaunty little bassline, an unusual part with sliding bar chords and a different bassline which would become the verse as well as the chorus, a sophisticated key change a half step up that returns effortlessly with a really nice walking bassline, a dreamy part with shimmering guitars ala "If I Needed Someone" that would later become a saddle to the choruses, and an Allman Brothers-like figure with two guitars playing against the bass, and a final fade-out after a false ending. POW! More than enough for a song! It still had no lyrics, but it's amazing that such progress occurred during a time where I'd write only two more songs in the next twenty years.
Lyrics soon appeared, and apart from a few gems, they were not very elegant until the third verse. "Take my hand and trust your trouble to me?" Yuck. The only thing that rescued it was the "spring is in my feet" line that follows and that the overall sense of movement and the walking bassline had brought me a nice title: Let's Walk.
I restructured the sequence and repetition to give me three verses and a bridge and then repeats the first verse before the playout. I never liked that the song's verses are over just halfway through the song, and the song would prove to be much longer than the format I grew comfortable with later.
The lyrics wound up like so:
Take my hand and trust your troubles to me
The sun is warm, and spring is in my feet.
Alright, no need to cause a scene.
Not like last night, if you know what I mean.
You start to cry
and now you want to stop and talk.
Let's wipe your eye,
but let's not wonder why - let's walk!
Let's walk away.
Let's pretend that you and I just met
so we can end the pain we both regret.
I know your style,
you don't know how to play the part.
Just hold that smile
and hold my hand and hold your heart, let's walk!
Let's walk away.
Let's walk!
Just walk away.
