Background
Let's Walk was the first complete song I wrote, sometime in late 1985.
It started as some instrumental takes based upon a simple riff.
The first sketch had nothing but the riff, and lacked charm. 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, and the song now has several parts. A 1/4/5-ey part under the riff has been enriched by a jaunty bassline and would eventually become the chorus/intro/outro. An unusual part with sliding bar chords and a different bassline would become the verse. A key change a half step up into walking bassline returns effortlessly. A dreamy part with shimmering guitars a la "If I Needed Someone" would become an intro 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 did follow, and apart from a few gems, they were not very elegant until the third verse. "Take my hand and trust your trouble to me?" Iffy, and only rescued by the "spring is in my feet" line that follows. I liked 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. It's also a little too reliant on a triplet vibe.
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 can forget.
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.
