Notes
Walter Trout personal quotes about the songs on the new album, Livin' Every Day
Livin' Every Day Is my attempt to say that you need to make the most out of every moment of your life even when everything around you seems to be adversity. You knever know what might be your last day. So make the best of the days you have. Musically I tried to start with country blues and then turn into rockin' blues.

Sweet Butterfly (Sofie's Song) A married couple who are friends of mine had a little girl, who they lost in a tragic accident. They asked me to write a song for her and I was finding it vary hard to do. One night I had a dream, where they were holding hands watching a butterfly. In the dream they realized the butterfly was their daughter's soul and that she was with God and free. So the dream gave me the approach to write this song for them. And it is in loving memory of their little beautiful daughter.

Say What You Mean This song is dedicated to our illustrious leaders. With all that has happened in the United Sates I need say no more.

Apparitions An apparition is a ghost or spirit that takes human visual form. This song came to me while riding in the van on tour with my band. It came as one large burst of lyrics and the music came later.

Thought I Heard The Devil I wrote for a friend and excellent guitar player, who cannot seem to get away from his addiction to heroin.

Let Me Know As I wrote this, I could hear Luther Allison singing it. And I really wrote it with him performing it in my mind. I'm only sorry I'll never hear him sing it.

The Love That We Once Knew Is a love song I wrote in 1971 to my first love, Delphine after we broke up. It is about me trying to move on and still appreciate what we had together.

Through The Eyes Of Love is a love song to my family. I tried to let my guitar express my love for them.

Fool For Love Inspired by a conversation my wife, Marie had with a friend or ours. I wrote the first verse based on what she told me, she had said to him, then I left the rest of the lyrics up to her.
