In a recent interview, Myles Kennedy spoke about 4 , his new album with Slash and The Conspirators , recently released. As previously revealed , the inspiration for one of the songs, "Fill My World," was his dog. Kennedy gave new details about the story.
According to the musician, his dog Mozart , a Shih Tzu, was left alone at home during a severe storm, and the song is written from his point of view ( Blabbermouth ). “I don’t know where we were, but we couldn’t get home that night,” Kennedy recounts, referring to himself and his wife. “He was stuck at home alone and there was a huge storm.”
“I live in Spokane now, and there are some insane storms there, with trees falling and everything. The winds are very strong. And he hates it, he gets terrified. We watched him at night and he was scared to death. So, basically, the song is from his perspective. Something like, 'When are you going to save me?'” the musician recounts.
After understanding the meaning, some verses of "Fill My World" take on new significance, such as the sequence "When I'm left behind / I climb the walls / Not knowing / If you ever cared" and "Turn the key / Please come back to me".
Myles Kennedy also admitted to being quite sensitive and crying easily: “You can hear my voice cracking at some point [laughs]. I’m a crybaby; I’ll admit it. I’m a guy, but if I’m watching a teen movie, I’m going to cry [laughs].”
