SONG ORIGIN
When You Coming Home

RR: Let’s talk about life on the road. Specifically, on the new album, there is a track that discusses that topic from a unique point of view, “When You Coming Home.”
JB: That one’s kind of weird in the sense that it is really being sung from the lady’s perspective. (laughs) I’m sittin’ there going, “John, you know, let’s get Anne [Richmond Boston, backup vocals, has appeared on numerous Panic releases] to at least get a little bit of a voice in there to remind people that (laughter) there’s a feminine angle in there.” That comes from putting yourself in your loved one’s shoes while you’re out on the road, and wondering what could be going on in their heads. We spend our time pretty busy and distracted out here. You’re moving from town to town, jumping into a new hotel, trying to get some sleep, doing the gig, and calling home all the time. But, then, with “When You Coming Home”, you’re putting yourself in their shoes. Maybe some girl out there would like to record it for a country album or something. (laughter)
