Landing in London – 3 Doors down

“Landing in London”  is the fifth and final single from the album Seventeen Days by American rock band 3 Doors Down.

The song is about how much someone is missed when that person is gone; in this case, the man is far away in London, while the woman is in a U.S. City.

In this power ballad lead singer Brad Arnold duets with the legendary Bob Seger, who happened to be recording at the same studio as 3 Doors Down in 2004, working on his album Face the Promise.

Asked by the band’s manager if he would like to sing on the song, Seger agreed,. Previously he had only collaborated four times with other singers and stated that he had hated it every single time, which made it even more appealing to 3DD.

According to bass player Todd Harrell, Bob Seger felt different about this song, perhaps because it is reminiscent of one of Seger’s own classic compositions, 1973′s “Turn the Page”.

It’s a great tune and I love it. The entire album is one of the greats even if 3DD never have really made it over here in the UK.
