Through And Through

with you there's no halfway, it's a hundred percent
no idle chatter, if it's said-it's meant
it's the same for me, I go all the way
I need you tomorrow, so I'll take you today
because I love you, through and through
I need you, through and through
I want to rock you, through and through
I want to roll you, through and through

when you are with me, nothing else matters
if you ever left me, well you'd leave me shattered
I know that you feel, the same as I do
when you say that you need me, I know that it's true
because I love you, through and through
I need you, through and through
I want to rock you, through and through
I want to roll you, through and through

some people laugh and call it blind devotion
but what do I care, when you turn on your emotion
I get other signals, that I just disregard
I can't ever leave you, you make it too hard
because I love you, through and through
I need you, through and through
I want to rock you, through and through
I want to roll you, through and through

The Story:
Scientists look for perpetual motion.
Explorers seek Atlantis.

Songwriters have their own Grail quest. 
It's the search for the 'Rock-n-roll Love Song'.
No ballads need apply. No string arrangements, pianos, or acoustic guitars.
The challenge is to say 'I Love You' with no flowers, tears, or sappiness.
It shouldn't be that difficult - but it is.

Anyway, I had to take my shot, and this is it.
Through and through. 
Absolute, total devastation of heart and loins.
What could be more rock-n-roll?

The Recording:
This recording of "Through And Through" was done in 1990, in my bedroom studio (San Jose, California) as part of the "No Easy Answers" sessions.

The Lineup:
Glenn Hughes -
Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards,
Bass and Drum Programming

Final Word:
After saying, "I want to roll you, through and through", what else can I say?
