Inspector Mills

The story behind

America released "Inspector Mills" in 1982, within the album View From the Ground. The song became popular in the Philippines during the eighties, although it didn't reach the same level elsewhere in the world. It is five minutes and ten seconds long, a rhythm that moves between folk and rock, with lyrics that speak of an inspector searching for something in the darkness. The song wasn't a major hit in the United States charts, but it remains part of the band, as a piece that is played at certain moments. The singer's voice carries the story, as if telling a story that is known by heart.
