I was able to tap into my childhood of discovering all the music that I grew up on. The soul of <strong>Motown Records<\/strong>, the early blues cats, and all the rock bands that I love are what inspired me to write the track. I really wanted the lyrics to capture the feel and the awesome power that music brings to the world. All the great musical artists that shaped and developed me as songwriter, my vocal style and musicianship I owe to the greats. So this song was written as a kind of thank you to them. This vision for the song is really captured in our video with moments in time of some of the greatest music talent that has shaped all our lives interwoven with live performances by the band. The track is a hard hitting up-tempo kick ass melodic tune. A 100 percent <strong>Babylon A.D.<\/strong> track that I\u2019m sure our the fans will love.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\">I Believe In Rock N Roll, Motown Gold!<br \/>God Made Music To Save The Soul!<br \/>Raise Your Hands To The Power Of Music! <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Derek Davis<\/strong> \/ <strong>Babylon A.D.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-283871 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/sleazeroxx.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Babylon-AD-album-cover-e1754013982993.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"360\"\/>Track List for\u00a0<em>When The World Stops<\/em>:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>01.
