Since he had joined Santana in 1972, keyboard player Tom Coster had been Carlos Santana's right-hand man, playing, co-writing, co-producing, and generally taking the place of founding member Greg Rolie. But Coster left the band in the spring of 1978, to be replaced by keyboardist/guitarist Chris Solberg and keyboardist Chris Ryne. Despite the change, the band soldiered on, and with Inner Secrets they scored three chart singles: the discoish "One Chain (Don't Make No Prison)" (#59), "Stormy" (#32), and a cover of Buddy Holly's "Well All Right" (#69), done in the Blind Faith arrangement. (There seems to be a Steve Winwood fixation here. The album also featured a cover of Traffic's "Dealer.") The singles kept the album on the charts longer than any Santana LP since 1971, but it was still a minor disappointment after Moonflower, and in retrospect seems like one of the band's more compromised efforts.

William Ruhlmann, All-Music Guide



Santana' s latest LP is easily their most dichotomized effort to date. Side 1 consists mostly of Latin-based R & B fragments, except for "Stormy." The first half of side 2 includes some excellent guitar work as only Santana can do. "Well All Right" and "Open Invitation" are the prime cuts.

Move On

Move on, there’s no time to waste complaining
Move on, can’t you feel your heart expanding
Every time I turn around
Ignorance one step behind
So come on and try again
You can make it if you try

Move on, there’s no time for hesitation
Move on, all you need is motivation
Every time I turn around
Ignorance one step behind
So come on and try again
You can make it if you try

Keep on moving on
Keep on moving
Got to keep on trying
Every step of the way
Got to keep on trying
Every step of the way


One Chain (Don't Make No Prison)

(Instrumental)


Stormy

STORMY You are the sunshine, baby, whenever you smile
But I call you Stormy today
All of a sudden that ol' rain is fallin' down
And my world is cloudy and gray
You've gone away

Old Stormy Stormy
Old Stormy Stormy
Old Stormy Stormy
Old Stormy Stormy

Yesterday's love was alive, the warm summer breeze
But like the weather you changed
Now things are dreary, baby, windy and cold
And I stand alone in the rain
Callin' out your name

Stormy Stormy
Stormy Stormy
Come back to me Stormy
Stormy Stormy

Bring back that sunny day

GUITAR SOLO

Yesterday's love was alive, the warm summer breeze
But like the weather you changed
Now things are dreary, baby, windy and cold
And I stand alone in the rain
Callin' out your name

Whoa! Stormy

Stormy, come back to me Stormy
Stormy, come back to me Stormy

Come on home! Stormy

Bring back that sunny day

GUITAR SOLO 2

Well All Right

Well, All Right
Petty, Alison, Holly, Mauldin

Well, all right so I'm being foolish
Well, all right let people know
About the dreams and wishes you wish
In the night when the lights are low

Well, all right, well all right
We'll live and love with all our might
Well, all right, well all right
Our lifetime love will be all right

Well, all right, so I'm going steady
It's all right when people say
That those foolish kids cant be ready
For the love that comes their way

Well, all right, well all right
We'll live and love with all our might
Well, all right, well all right
Our lifetime love will be all right
Repeat last verse


Open Invitation

You be you and let me be me
No strings attached emotionally
I wanna get a little crazy
That's puttin' it plain
You got the medicine
And I got the pain

When you just wanna feel good
Like the doctor said
One good dose of loving
It's gonna straighten out your head

(tag):
You got an open invitation
On that you can rely
You got a prepaid reservation
And that's the only way to fly

Let's make love, the feeling is right
Just passing by like ships in the night
Oughta get a little friendly
There's no time like now
You bring the attitude and I'll show you how

Anytime you're ready
Anytime at all
Just come on over
Don't even have to call

(tag)
