Fire to Nowhere

It's always a tricky thing when you write, finish and even release a mediocre song and there's still one or two outstanding elements on it that you think are good enough to regret having wasted it on this average construct just to meet a stupid deadline for another boring compilation.

Paul must surely have had this or a quite similar thought process during the production of Animalize (1984), of course with regard to the previous Best Of Killers (1982) and its new exclusive studio tracks.

While I've found that there may be those who consider some of these new tracks to be the pinnacle of Kiss' songwriting, I for one find them to be more of a light version of Paul's '78 solo album, and that they kinda relate like rice crackers with chicken seasoning salt to a roast chicken and french fries. It may evoke flavorful associations, and you can chew on it too, but there's just usually a considerable lack of substance. Especially when you consider that the band had a huge wild boar roast (1) in the oven at the same time. Animalize, to return to the actual subject, still managed it to emulate cevapcici with a tinglingly spicy side dish of rice (I guess I must be getting hungry).

So let's also say goodbye to the world of culinary sensuality and better get back to Killers, and when I say Killers, I mean Nowhere to Run, and when I mean Nowhere to Run, I'm talking about this little guitar section that builds up into a kind of moral climax after the end of the great Bob Kulick's last solo effort. You can find an almost identical passage on I've Had Enough (Into the Fire), after the extra-cheesy, dramatic vocal middle section, but within this framework it sounds more like Paul seizing the Holy Grail and holding it up to God himself in a glistening, growing ray of light in almost unbearable ecstasy.

More or less, of course. Anyway, it is always beautiful to see when a little pearl is rescued from the dust, polished up, and allowed to shine in the glow of the sun.

Sometimes this can also backfire.

Side Note:

(1) By which I can mean nothing other than Creatures of the Night (1982).
