1. Walk Tall

   "Walk Tall" is a song written by Joe Zawinul, Queen Esther Marrow and Jim Rein that has been played by Cannonball Adderley. Another song called "Walk Tall" was written by rock musician John Mellencamp which protests the Bush administration's policies. It can be found on his 2004 compilation Words & Music: John Mellencamp's Greatest Hits. There are two versions of the song. The album version has the lyrics "So be careful of those killing in Jesus' name/ He don't believe in killing at all." The single version that was released to radio replaces those lines with: "And I wish you all a long sightline/ And the strength to walk tall." Mellencamp said the record company asked him to provide less controversial lyrics for the version sent out to radio stations to give the song a better chance of getting airplay. "'Walk Tall" was produced by Babyface, who also plays guitar and provides backing vocals on the song. In 2004, Mellencamp spoke to CMT about his inspiration for writing the song: "'Walk Tall' really was written ... you know, I heard Woody Guthrie say in some kind of documentary that it was important for him to write songs about people and try to make them feel good about themselves. He said, 'I ain't gonna write no more songs that would make anybody feel bad about themselves.' And I always kind of took that with me as a songwriter. I didn't always do that, but in today's world where there seems to be so much ... I don't know ... fear and hatred toward each other, it seemed like, 'If you can write an inspirational song, John, you should probably try to do it,' you know? So that's where that came from. That's how that song was written."

Examples of walk tall in a Sentence

1. Jordan Peterson:

   So, attend carefully to your posture. Quit drooping and hunching around. Speak your mind. Put your desires forward, as if you had a right to them — at least the same right as others. Walk tall and gaze forthrightly ahead. Dare to be dangerous. Encourage the serotonin to flow plentifully through neural pathways desperate for its calming influence.
