Back in the Day

Ryan Fedder recently said on TheVoice he wrote this song about the money problems he and his wife had when they were first married. He worked a lot of jobs and he always told her one day they would have money to burn and would never have to worry about bills, they'd be counting stars.

I think this songs is saying you should take the risk by putting yourself out there in this world and going after what you want. You might have doubt but ignore it, you might fail at times and fall from the Mountain but sometimes it won't hurt. It will be worth it.

This song was mostly written by Andrew Farriss , the keyboard play and main songwriter for INXS.

I agree that this is likely about atheism given the "down on your knees" reference. It's about looking for the answers for your problems or some guidance on where to go in life when "you are all you need", "it's all in your hands", "do it for yourself".

I think the "on the talk back show. On the radio, at the local bar" lines are basically just saying everywhere you go people are looking for answers and commonly asking our to a god.
