Marti and I recently revisited and reworked the song. Because of the time that had passed we were able to go back to it with a fresh perspective. The sentiment of the song spoke to us now more than ever and with the upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction we thought it an ideal time to let the world hear it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe upbeat and melodic track weighs in at just under three minutes, with lyrics about \u201cthe times I was growing up and the road that brought me here,\u201d and how seeing the Beatles on TV \u201cchanged everything deep inside of me.\u201d It also references \u201cthe double vision day,\u201d a nod to Foreigner\u2019s second album. Particularly poignant in light of Jones\u2019 battle with Parkinson\u2019s disease, which has kept him off stage for the last few years, the chorus intones, \u201cThere\u2019s something missing my life, so I\u2019m turning back the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PdwSNumg460?version=3&amp;rel=1&amp;showsearch=0&amp;showinfo=1&amp;iv_load_policy=1&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en-US&amp;autohide=2&amp;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe track was first demoed back in 1996, shortly after Jones and Frederiksen collaborated on songs for the 1998 movie<em> Strange Fruit<\/em>. The two also began writing material for Foreigner, with Gramm joining the process for some of those, including \u201cTurning Back the Time.\u201d Jones and Frederiksen co-produced the recording earlier this year with both playing guitar, Jones adding keyboards, Frederiksen on bass and his son Evan on drums. Gramm\u2019s vocals were taken from the original demo; he left the band for a second and final time in 2003.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe album\u2019s other 17 tracks draw from Foreigner\u2019s nine studio albums, including \u201cWhen It Comes to Love\u201d with current frontman Kelly Hansen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThere\u2019s no word on any future plans for additional unfinished Foreigner material that\u2019s in the vaults. Jones told <em>Billboard<\/em> in May that, \u201cThere are a number of songs that are demos I wrote with Lou. A couple of them are quite promising. Some written with Marti are lying around. I\u2019ve been going through cassette tapes of demos; some I think don\u2019t deserve to see the light of day.\u201d Jones adds that he\u2019s also finished mixing and mastering a solo album, <em>Shelter From the Storm,<\/em> that he hopes to release \u201cat some point soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tGramm, meanwhile, has often spoken about \u201ca whole album\u2019s worth of songs\u201d from the early 2000s that he and Jones wrote and only recorded in rough form. \u201cThey\u2019re great songs\u2026some of our very best songs,\u201d Gramm told <em>Billboard<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/awards\/foreigner-rock-hall-induction-lou-gramm-1235643869\/\">earlier this year.<\/a> \u201cThere were about eight or nine of them. We didn\u2019t have a record company then, so we were waiting to see what happened. Then Mick and I had a huge falling out, and I left the band\u2026. So now Mick\u2019s got the copy and I don\u2019t have one and I don\u2019t know if he\u2019s ever gonna do anything with them. I kind of doubt it, but I would like to at least listen to those roughs that we did. Those were great ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIn the meantime, Jones, Gramm and their former bandmates are preparing for the Rock Hall induction, one of the most highly anticipated since Foreigner was long considered one of the shrine\u2019s greatest snubs. Producer Mark Ronson, Jones\u2019 son-in-law, put together a video campaign with Rock Hall members such as Paul McCartney, Slash, Dave Grohl, Slash and Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers expressing disbelief that the group wasn\u2019t in yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cEvery year was the same thing, so eventually I didn\u2019t really worry about it,\u201d Jones told <em>Billboard<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/awards\/foreigner-mick-jones-rock-hall-fame-1235662157\/\">earlier this year. <\/a>\u201cI certainly haven\u2019t been overly consumed by it\u2026. I\u2019ve had a great career and this is like the whipped cream and cherry on top.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe Rock Hall induction ceremony will stream live from Cleveland via Disney+, with a truncated special slated for ABC later in the year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe full track list for <em>Turning Back the Time<\/em>:<\/p>\n<div class=\"container \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n<ol>\n<li>\u201cFeels Like The First Time\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cCold As Ice\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cLong, Long Way From Home\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cHot Blooded\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cDouble Vision\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cDirty White Boy\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cHead Games\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cUrgent\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWaiting For A Girl Like You\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cJuke Box Hero\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cGirl On The Moon\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cI Want To Know What Love Is\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThat Was Yesterday\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cSay You Will\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cCan\u2019t Slow Down\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWhen It Comes To Love\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThe Flame Still Burns\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cTurning Back The Time\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/music\/rock\/foreigner-turning-back-the-time-song-1235756355\/\">Aller \u00e0 la source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foreigner waxes nostalgic and reflective on its first new song in eight years, a track from the band\u2019s vaults.
