Another such song, “Don’t Drag Me Down,” from 1996’s White Light, White Heat, White Trash has resurfaced as resonant in the current political climate. That’s what makes songs like the confessional “I Was Wrong” and the uplifting “Reach for the Sky” enduring. Social D lyrics are often introspective, Ness’s personal reflections on the successes and failures we encounter as humans. When it started to get airplay that’s when I realized, wow, that risk paid off by staying true and just believing in myself.” But I had to put a record out that I was happy with so, it was huge risk-taking, you know, but I had to be true to myself and write a record that I liked. “When I was writing ‘Ball and Chain,’ ‘Story of My Life,’ ‘Sick Boy,’ I was really happy but honestly I didn’t know if people were going to like it. I wanted to sound different than everybody else,” Ness said. “It definitely wasn’t during the writing of it because honestly that record in particular was the pivotal moment of where I was trying to really define this band’s sound, and in a way that was going to separate it from everybody else.
We’ll pick the best 12 and then we’ll go into the studio in January and record ‘em.” “We just spent three months arranging and kind of orchestrating 23 songs. I wanted to keep working on the record but you know, of course, I want to tour as well,” Ness said. It’s just shifting gears sometimes is hard. Then you’ve gotta shift gears into tour mode and it’s a whole different set of songs. “I was in pre-production mode for three months, you know we were meeting four, five days a week here at the studio, working at arranging and writing the songs. Social D fans, here’s your new record update. While Ness is stoked for the live sets, he admits he’s a little bummed about what he’s putting on hold while on tour.
Wednesday night’s show at Revention Music Center will be just the second of more than 30 planned dates across the United States and will include support from The Devil Makes Three and Le Butcherettes. We just felt it was a good fit,” he said of the tour, which hits Houston this week. “Normally we don’t do co-headlining things just because it’s never really presented itself, but because we’re getting ready to go into the studio and record a record we’re wanting to keep out there, letting people know that we’ve got something coming, so it’s just a good opportunity to kind of combine and try something we haven’t done in a long time.
#Social distortion story of my life song meaning update#
So, even though we’re talking with Ness about the stacked tour he and Social D are about to embark upon with co-headliners Flogging Molly, he’s quick to provide an update on new music from the band. Mike Ness knows any interview he does is eventually going to address the possibility of new music from his legendary punk band, Social Distortion.
