Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan has released another song from his upcoming solo album Lighthouse.
McKagan says “I Saw God On 10th St.” is about exactly what it sounds like: “I picture him as an old guy with white beard and hair, leaning up against a wall on a city street…The ultimate jurist of us all.”
“The crashing….the cresting waves, the falling through of all that surrounds you. Life sometimes tosses us around, and we feel the want of comfort and the pull of home. A ship tossed like a toy through the Cape, sails ripped and the wood groaning with the scraping of its ballast….a soul trying with all its might to find peace and a center,” Duff said about the new album. “Find a lighthouse. I have my lighthouse….its beacon swirling in the darkness with her warmth and promise of nurture, love, laughter, and all that is true. Won’t you be my lighthouse, give me light,…and bring me home.”
Lighthouse includes guest appearances from famous friends like Slash, Jerry Cantrell, and Iggy Pop. It will be out October 20th.
