The Walk may refer to:
W255CJ FM 98.9 is a 250-watt "broadcast translator" radio station in Atlanta, Georgia, US, airing an alternative rock format known as 99X.
The station's city of license was previously Tallapoosa (west of metro Atlanta), which is now far beyond its current broadcast range, nearly in Alabama. The station's current facility was a move-in in 2011. Previously, it was programmed as 99X, which originally began on full-power station WNNX (now WWWQ) FM 99.7 in 1992, then reappeared on W250BC FM 97.9, before moving to this station in June 2011. It was then followed by active rock "98-9 The Bone" in September 2012, and Christian AC/country "98-9 The Walk" in February 2013. It switched to a satellite-fed oldies format in August 2013, then flipped to a country format known as "Nash Icon" in late autumn 2014. In November 2015, it became "Warm 98-9", playing all-Christmas music through Christmas, and then to an adult contemporary format the day after. The return of 99X occurred a week later at Midnight on New Year's Day, 2016.
"The Walk" is a song written by Mark Miller, and recorded by American country music band Sawyer Brown. It was released in June 1991 as the third and final single from their album Buick. It peaked at number 2 in the United States, and number 5 in Canada. It is also included on their 1992 album The Dirt Road.
The song is a ballad in which the song's narrator tells about his life through walking. In the first verse, he is a boy who is reluctant to walk down the driveway to the school bus and go to school, until he is comforted by his father. In the second verse, the narrator is again comforted by his father after becoming an adult and going out into the world alone. By the third verse, the father is now very old and they are both walking down the driveway. The son is walking his father to a nursing home. The father understands because he too had to walk his father down the driveway. It is a song about cycles.
The music video was directed by Michael Salomon, and it is entirely in black and white.
I step into the corridor – I'm not alone
red light flashes – the sound drills to my brain
I see movement on the edge of my vision
someone's running to me
I raise my hand against the shadows
I stop him knock him while the red glows
...got to get out from the corridor
I take the clothes and keys – the shoes don't fit
I take the money but leave the cards
I’ve lost some time now I have to act fast
I run for my freedom
The doors open – I'm in the elevator
I press the button – and head to the first floor
...I got out from the corridor
...I got out from the corridor
I know they must be waiting for me
I already hear them speaking
Leave the elevator before they get me
I use the stairs to elevate me
I got myself into another corridor
that leads to green light – my salvation
The street welcomes me – the night's embrace holds me
gently
I gaze into the horizon that skyscrapers incise
I take steps I smell the dioxide in the air
I hear a sound and turn around – two points of light
