The Story/Meaning of The Walla Recovery

Posted on 2.25.10 · by Zack

This post was written as a response to the question: "What made you choose 'The Walla Recovery' as your name? Is there a story/meaning behind it?" asked online in February, 2010.

This question should be answered in no less than 7000 words, but Ill cut it a bit shorter here. Yes, there is a story.

Superficially, I grew up on a street called Walla Ave. in Fort Worth, Texas. I spent most of my days there playing the part of Superman in all my backyard adventures, and trying to find ways to make people laugh and smile.

After matriculating, I realized that I had lost some sense of my true self over time. I found myself (and still do) wishing that life was just a simple pursuit of those things which make our hearts complete.

This music is our attempt to 1) regain that child-like-ness in the important ways and 2) encourage others to do the same, or at least 3) stir up some conversation about such topics.

BONUS TRIVIA: We used to be called Alden, but there was another band with that name already on iTunes, and we got tired of endlessly comparing ourselves to them.
