1) Guardian was formed in 1982 by bassist David Bach, vocalist Paul Cawley, and and drummer, Rikk Hart. They originally named themselves "Fusion" and added David Caro on guitars. They were signed to Enigma records in 1985 and changed their name to Gardian, soon after replaced Caro with Tony Palacios on guitar. They released two demos under the Gardian name called Fusion (released 1984) and Voyager (released 1987). Their debut album "First Watch" was released in 1989 under the final name change "Guardian", but shortly after Cawley and Hart left the band due to the rigors of non-stop touring.

In 1990, Cawley was replaced by Jamie Rowe (formerly of "Tempest") as the new vocalist and Hart was replaced by Karl Ney on drums. This lineup remained consistant throughout their last English studio album "Bottle Rocket" in 1997. However, in 2002 Guardian released "Dime", their 3rd Spanish effort, yet with all new material. David Bach could not be a part of this album due to time constraints. Their 1993 album "Miracle Mile" was their most popular commercially successful album.
In the words of Jamie Rowe, "There will be another Guardian album." Let's hope so.

Lead The Way
Guardian Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got a dash-mount compass that won't direct
I got a get-rich guru who calls collect
I got a psychic adviser saying, "Get a lifeguard"
I'm getting bad vibes off of your Deal-a-Meal card

Tell me why their words ring hollow
Lead the way, and I will follow
If you can lead me out of this maze

I got shrinks that send me to victim class
I got talk-show show-offs giving me gas
I got assertiveness trainers yelling, "Shove! Shove! Shove!"
I got no one teaching me how to love

The more I chew, the less I swallow
Lead the way, and I will follow
If you can lead me out of this maze

Up we struggle
Down we slide
Scared to call on a bigger guide
I'm tired of getting slow
Speed the plow
Lead the way, Lord Jesus
I'm ready now

Lead the way, and I will follow
Lead the way, Lord

I will follow
Follow Your footsteps through this maze

Overall Meaning

In Guardian's song "Lead the Way," the artist expresses their internal struggle with finding direction in life. The first verse mentions various people and things that are supposed to offer guidance but have ultimately left the singer feeling lost and disillusioned. The second verse exacerbates this feeling by referencing people who are supposed to help him but only cause confusion and anxiety, leaving him yearning for someone or something that can teach him how to love. The chorus exemplifies his willingness to follow the right guidance that can lead him out of the overwhelming confusion.

The lyrics of the song symbolize a common existential conflict that people experience - the desire for direction, comfort, and love, while at the same time, feeling unsure about how to attain it. Despite the overwhelming desire for guidance, the singer has come to learn that not every source of influence is the right one, which is expressed in the first verse. In contrast, the second verse showcases the irony of seeking help from people who only exacerbate the feelings of fear and confusion. The artist's use of first-person point of view, combined with the universal struggle expressed in the lyrics, resonates with any listener searching for guidance and a sense of belonging.
