Tomorrow Military.com will premiere the new Queensryche video for Home Again.
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….”

As with all shows on the “American Soldier Tour”, QUEENSRŸCHE performed three separate suites during the two-hour performance, each focusing on a different album. The show opened with a suite from the band’s 1986 gold album “Rage For Order”, including some tracks the band has not played live in over 20 years. The second suite focuses on the new epic concept album “American Soldier”, which was released on March 31 from Atco/Rhino. The “Soldier” suite features guest vocal performances by Navy rescue swimmer and Blue Angels crew chief A.J. Fratto on the intense set opener “Sliver” and lead singer Geoff Tate’s daughter Emily on the moving ballad “Home Again”.

Episode 0020 – “From Whatever Comes” – Geoff Tate explains the meaning behind Track #12 on American Soldier.
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….”
Episode 0019 – “Home Again” – Geoff Tate explains the meaning behind Track #11 on American Soldier.
“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….”
Episode 0018 – “Remember Me” – Geoff Tate explains the meaning behind Track #10 on American Soldier.
“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 ….”
Episode 0017 – “Man Down!” – Geoff Tate explains the meaning behind Track #9 on American Soldier.
“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 ….”
Episode 0016 – “If I Were King” – Geoff Tate explains the meaning behind Track #8 on American Soldier.
“One of the stories I was told was about a loss of friendship. A soldier had gone into a hostle environment and, during the operation, lost one of his best friends. And he was talking about that loss and how it affected him. It was almost like a delayed reaction….”
