Details
An earlier single, "Saving My Heart" from 1991's Union, was also originally intended as a collaboration between Trevor Rabin and Roger Hodgson.[2] According to Rabin, "Walls" was the last track to be finished for the album.[3]
Rabin and Hodgson wrote a lot of material together and became close friends.[1]
"Walls" reached number 24 on the Mainstream Rock chart in 1994.[4]
Rabin later included a pre-Yes version of the song on his album of demo recordings, 2003's 90124, where it is titled "Walls Demo 1990".[5] Hodgson shares vocals with Rabin on the demo as well.
