“Touring“ from the album “Another Step In Time“ by the band Devinne. This song is a tribute to Freddie Mercury, shedding light on how he felt during the band’s extensive tours. The video clip was filmed in Montreux, Switzerland, a place that held a special significance for Freddie Mercury as Queen had their recording studio there since 1979. It was a peaceful haven where Freddie spent his last decades before his untimely passing.
“Touring“ lyrics, penned by Peter Freestone, vividly describe the whirlwind life of a touring rock band. The song conveys the constant movement, from airplanes to taxis, buses to trains, and choppers racing high and low. It highlights the routine of checking into hotels, sound checks, and preparing in dressing rooms, all while building up the energy for the upcoming show.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that the band is at home all over the world, making touring, working, getting in, and getting out a way of life. Hotels and shows are the essence of their existence during these times.
The lyrics also touch upon the sacrifices involved in this kind of life, including the loss of love, missing family, friends, and home. Private life is limited to phone calls, and being away from loved ones for extended periods becomes a challenging aspect of life on the road.
The song captures a bygone era when communication was limited to fax machines, and the tour itinerary, often referred to as the tour “BIBLE,“ was the crucial document that kept everything on track. This comprehensive schedule ensured that every member of the band and the entire crew knew when and where they needed to be, keeping the Queen tour running smoothly.
“Touring“ not only provides a glimpse into the practicalities of life on the road but also the emotional toll it takes on relationships and personal life. It serves as a poignant reminder of the dedication and sacrifices made by musicians in the heyday of rock and roll, all in the name of bringing their music to fans all over the world.
Lyrics :
ravelling here and travelling there, we are always on the go Aeroplanes, taxis, buses and trains, choppers racing high and low Into hotels then the venue, sound check then food
To the dressing room preparing, always building up the mood
We’re at home all over the world
Touring, working, getting in, getting out We’re at home all over the world
Hotels, shows, these are what it’s all about
Now it is the show time and the audience is on their feet On the stage performing, keeping everything upbeat The adrenaline is pumping as the gig comes to an end What is there left to do, party hard, then on the mend
We’re at home all over the world
Touring, working, getting in, getting out We’re at home all over the world
Hotels, shows, these are what it’s all about
Is it worth the loss of love, missing family friends and home Can we survive the next few months, private life on telephones
