Featured on their sophomore album, The Big Prize, this song showcases the band’s signature blend of melodic rock and heartfelt lyrics.
The Song’s Unique Sound
Written by Derry Grehan, the band’s lead guitarist, “All Along You Knew” stands out for its smooth, atmospheric production and emotional depth. What makes this track even more special is the guest appearance of Ian Anderson, the legendary frontman of Jethro Tull, who contributed a flute solo – an unexpected but brilliant addition to the song’s arrangement.
The Album and Its Success
The Big Prize, produced by Bruce Fairbairn, was a major step forward for Honeymoon Suite, solidifying their place in the Canadian rock scene. The album spawned multiple hits, including “Feel It Again”, which reached #34 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “What Does It Take”, which gained popularity after being featured in the John Cusack film One Crazy Summer
Honeymoon Suite may not have reached the same global fame as some of their contemporaries, but their music continues to resonate with rock fans. “All Along You Knew” is a perfect example of their ability to craft timeless, emotionally charged rock – a song that deserves more recognition.
