During the recording of American Soldier, Geoff Tate spoke about the making of the song… “So the song Home Again is about those feelings of separation that people feel when they’re away from their families; and they’re in a situation that’s dangerous, with that question, “will I make it back home again.”  I can kinda relate a lot to this being on the road, being away from my family….”

So, before getting into this a few things that need clearing up….

First, “From Whatever Comes” was the original name of the song “The Voice”.  When this was recorded the band had not changed the name yet.

Second, I apologize for the shortness of this video.  It’s what the band submitted and we wanted to round out the complete American Solider track-by-track.

“I don’t know how to explain From Whatever Comes… I don’t know how….”

“There’s a track on the record called Remember Me, which is a ballad style song.  It’s about the conflict a soldier experience, not just on the battle field, but also in their own relationships; being gone from their families, their loved ones… sometimes up to 6 months at a time.  It’s a very stressful experience for some people ….”

“There’s a story I was told, a solider came back from the Vietname era / conflict.  He described being really unconfortable with staying in one place.  So he packed up everything he had in a car, and spent several years just driving… drove, 12 hours a day, until he ran out of gas ….”

“There’s a song on the album called Middle of Hell, that has an interesting story to it.  One of the soliders was telling me that he has just gotten back from Iraq.  Part of his duties were these intercity patrols in Humvees.  They go out into the city and conduct their patrols….”
