It seemed like I had a lyric for everything were doing. The lyrics flowed beautifully for me I don't think I was ever stuck for a second.

"There's a little bit of those flavors in there, back to some familiar textures and melodies and concepts. "I think it goes back to some of the movies of Frontiers, Infinity, Escape," he says. I put myself as a Journey fan, first and foremost, when I sat there with Neal and we did together, and there it was."Ĭain, who was Freedom's principal lyricist, says that sequencing is part of what he hopes gives the new album a familiar and even classic Journey flavor. And when you have an album of this magnitude, 15 songs, you want to keep them into it as long as you can, and you want to have a beginning and an end. "I think how you present your music really matters, how do you take the listener from Point A to Point B - it really matters. "So we did it like that and it proved to be quite successful," Cain continues. So 'Together We Run', it pulls the listener in and it's a hopeful song, similar to 'Don't Stop Believin',' and then, 'What was the next song on Escape?' and we just went from there. "I figure, well, we're gonna start out with a piano, just like 'Don't Stop Believin''. "Our most successful album was Escape and we just recently received the Diamond for it, so I said, 'How did Escape unfold? How did it appear to the listener?' and went from there," Cain explains. It was a real test, 'How's it all gonna come together?'"īut even with that wealth of material, Escape - which was just 10 songs and nearly 43 minutes - provided a guide for the new album's ebb and flow. "But in the end we haven’t made an album in 11 years, so why not? I like the idea of economy and less is more, but I'm like, 'Well, maybe the Journey fans will want this kind of volume.' It's almost two albums. "I kinda wanted less songs on it," acknowledges Cain, who was working at home in Nashville while Schon and Walden recorded in California and Filipino frontman Arnel Pineda cut his vocals in Manila.

In an ironic dose of fashion, Cliff Burton only played the song live three times, while both Jason Newsted and Robert Trujillo has played it over fifty times each.Part of the challenge, Cain says, was Freedom's length - Journey's longest album ever at more than 73 minutes, with seven tracks that weigh in at more than five minutes.

As of July 2019, it has been played live 157 times.

It was first played on September 14, 1985, in St.

"Disposable Heroes" was the first song off of Master of Puppets to be debuted live.

Not fond of this particular piece of percussion, Ulrich didn't return to it until "Until It Sleeps". It is also interesting to note that the middle section ("Why am I dying?" etc., before and after the guitar solo) is the last place for a long time where Lars Ulrich plays the ride cymbal. The song is the third longest song in the entire album, after " Orion" and " Master of Puppets". The line "back to the front" is said multiple times in the song.

Keeping with the theme of manipulation and powerlessness, the song is about the drafting system, war, and death, explaining the title "Disposable Heroes".
