‘Kayleigh’ is the most played Marillion song by far. This kind of surprises me a small bit, although it is a good song, but Marillion has produced so many better songs,
Like ‘Kayleigh’ ,”Lavender” is also a ballad but a much better one.
It was released as the second single from their 1985 UK number one concept album Misplaced Childhood. The follow-up to the UK number two hit “Kayleigh”, the song was their second Top Five UK hit, entering the chart on 7 September 1985, reaching number five and staying on the chart for nine weeks. None of the group’s subsequent songs have reached the Top Five and “Lavender” remains their second highest-charting song.
“Peace Sells” is a song by American thrash metal band Megadeth from their 1986 album Peace Sells… but Who’s Buying?, written by Dave Mustaine. It has since been a constant at Megadeth concerts. According to David Ellefson, it became quickly apparent when playing the song live prior to recording the album that “Peace Sells” would be a hit. In 2006, VH1 ranked “Peace Sells” at number 11 on their list of the “40 Greatest Metal Songs” of all time.The song is also known for the distinctive bass intro played by Ellefson.
Happy Birthday Dave Mustaine
Lyrics What do you mean I don’t believe in God? I talk to him everyday. What do you mean, I don’t support your system?
I go to court when I have to What do you mean, I can’t get to work on time? I got nothing better to do. And, what do you mean, I don’t pay my bills?
Why do you think I’m broke? Huh? If there’s a new way, I’ll be the first in line. But it better work this time.
What do you mean, I hurt your feelings? I didn’t know you had any feelings. What do you mean, I ain’t kind? Just not your kind.
What do you mean, I couldn’t be the President Of the United States of America? Tell me something, it’s still We the people, right?
If there’s a new way I’ll be the first in line But it better work this time Can you put a price on peace?
Not just an epic ballad, but THE ballad. Well at least in my opinion, however, I am a bit bias when it comes to Queensryche, especially from the time when Geoff Tate was still the lead vocalist.
Lyrics Hush now, don’t you cry Wipe away the teardrop from your eye You’re lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream spinning in your head Your mind tricked you to feel the pain Of someone close to you, leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance Wide awake you face the day, your dream is over Or has it just begun?
There’s a place I like to hide A doorway that I run to in the night Relax child, you were there
Only didn’t realize, and you were scared It’s a place where you will learn To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind Commanding in another world Suddenly you’ll hear and see
This magic, new dimension I will be watching over you I am gonna help you see it through
I will protect you in the night I am smiling next to you In silent lucidity
Visualize your dream (yes) Record it in the present tense Put it into a permanent form (yes)
If you persist in your efforts, you can achieve dream control (help me) How are we feeling today, better?
Dream control (help me) Dream control (help me) Dream control (help me) Dream control (help me)
If you open your mind for me You won’t rely on open eyes to see The walls you built within
Come tumbling down and a new world will begin Living twice at once you learn You’re safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly A round trip journey in your head Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream’s alive, you can be the guide but I will be watching over you I am gonna help you see it through
I will protect you in the night I am smiling next to you

One thing I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To explain in due time
All I know Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away It’s so unreal Didn’t look out below Watch the time go right out the window Tryin’ to hold on, did-didn’t even know I wasted it all just to watch you go I kept everything inside and even though I tried
It all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually Be a memory of a time when I tried so hard I tried so hard and got so far But in the end it doesn’t even matter I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn’t even matter One thing, I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To remind myself how I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mockin’ me Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me I’m surprised it got so far Things aren’t the way they were before You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me in the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried It all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually Be a memory of a time when I tried so hard I tried so hard and got so far But in the end it doesn’t even matter I had to fall to lose it all
But in the end it doesn’t even matter I’ve put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There’s only one thing you should know I’ve put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go
For all this There’s only one thing you should know I tried so hard and got so far But in the end it doesn’t even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end it doesn’t even matter
“Entre dos Tierras” is the first song that was released as a single from the album Senderos de treason released in 1990, by the Spanish rock group, Héroes del Silencio.
If there ever was any proof that a good song doesn’t always have to be in English, then this is it.
Te puedes vender Cualquier oferta es buena si quieres poder Qué fácil es Abrir tanto la boca para opinar
Y si te piensas echar atrás Tienes muchas huellas que borrar Déjame que yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer
Si yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer Pierdes la fe Cualquier esperanza es vana y no sé qué creer Pero olvídame, que nadie te ha llamado, ya estás otra vez Déjame que yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer Si yo no tengo la culpa de ver que Entre dos tierras estás Y no dejas aire que respirar
Entre dos tierras estás Y no dejas aire que respirar Déjalo ya No seas membrillo y permite pasar Y si no piensas echar atrás Tienes mucho barro que tragar Déjame
que yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer Si yo no tengo la culpa de ver que Entre dos tierras estás Y no dejas aire que respirar Entre dos tierras estás Y no dejas aire que respirar Déjame que yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer Si yo no tengo la culpa de ver que Entre dos tierras estás Y no dejas aire que respirar Entre dos tierras estás Y no dejas aire que respirar
English lyrics(kind of)

If I’m not to blame for seeing you fall Si yo no tengo la culpa de verte caer you lose faith Pierdes la fe
Any hope is vain and I don’t know what to believe Cualquier esperanza es vana y no sé qué creer
But forget me Pero olvídame,

And you leave no air to breathe Y no dejas aire que respirar
Between two lands you are Entre dos tierras estás
And you leave no air to breathe Y no dejas aire que respirar give it up Déjalo ya
Don’t be a quince and let it pass No seas membrillo y permite pasar
And if you don’t plan to back down Y si no piensas echar atrás
You have a lot of mud to swallow Tienes mucho barro que tragar Let me Déjame

Between two lands you are Entre dos tierras estás
And you leave no air to breathe Y no dejas aire que respirar
This episode of Epic Rock ballads, you will get 2 for the price of one. The original by the Who and the cover version by Limp Bizkit.
“Behind Blue Eyes” is a song by the English rock band the Who, recorded in 1971. It was the second single from their fifth album Who’s Next and was originally written by Pete Townshend for his Lifehouse project.[3][4] The song is one of the Who’s best-known recordings and has been covered by many artists, including Limp Bizkit and Tokio Hotel.
Behind Blue Eyes” originated after a Who concert in Denver on 9 June 1970.[5] Following the performance, Townshend became tempted by a female groupie, but he instead went back to his room alone, possibly as a result of the teachings of his spiritual leader, Meher Baba.[6] Upon reaching his room, he began writing a prayer, the first words being “When my fist clenches, crack it open…” These words later appeared as lyrics in the “climactic rocking section” of “Behind Blue Eyes.”
[Verse 1] No one knows what it’s like To be the bad man, to be the sad man Behind blue eyes No one knows what it’s like To be hated, to be fated To telling only lies
[Chorus] But my dreams, they aren’t as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance that’s never free [Verse 2] No one knows what it’s like To feel these feelings like I do And I blame you No one bites back as hard On their anger, none of my pain and woe Can show through
[Chorus] But my dreams, they aren’t as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance that’s never free
[Bridge] When my fist clenches, crack it open Before I use it and lose my cool When I smile, tell me some bad news Before I laugh and act like a fool And if I swallow anything evil Put your finger down my throat And if I shiver, please give me a blanket Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
[Outro] No one knows what it’s like To be the bad man, to be the sad man Behind blue eyes.
“Revolution” is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, written by John Lennon and credited to the Lennon–McCartney partnership. Three versions of the song were recorded and released in 1968, all during sessions for the Beatles’ self-titled double album, also known as “the White Album”: a slow, bluesy arrangement (titled “Revolution 1”) that would make the final cut for the LP; an abstract sound collage (titled “Revolution 9”) that originated as the latter part of “Revolution 1” and appears on the same album; and the faster, hard rock version similar to “Revolution 1”, released as the B-side of “Hey Jude”. Although the single version was issued first, it was recorded several weeks after “Revolution 1”, as a remake specifically intended for release as a single.
[Intro] Aah!
[Verse 1] You say you want a revolution Well, you know We’d all love to change the world You tell me that it’s evolution Well, you know We’d all love to change the world [Pre-Chorus 1] But when you talk about destruction Don’t you know that you can count me out
[Chorus] Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright? (Don’t you know it’s gonna be) Alright (Don’t you know it’s gonna be) Alright
[Verse 2] You say you got a real solution Well, you know We’d all love to see the plan (Oh, shooby-doo-wah, oh, shooby-doo-wah) You ask me for a contribution Well, you know We’re all doing what we can (Oh, shooby-doo-wah, oh, shooby-doo-wah)
[Pre-Chorus 2] But if you want money for people with minds that hate All I can tell you is, brother, you have to wait
[Chorus] Don’t you know it’s gonna be alright? (Don’t you know it’s gonna be) Alright (Don’t you know it’s gonna be) Alright [Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3] You say you’ll change the constitution Well, you know We all love to change your head (Shooby-doo-wah, oh, shooby-doo-wah) You tell me it’s the institution Well, you know You better free your mind instead (Shooby-doo-wah, oh, shooby-doo-wah)
[Pre-Chorus 3] But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow
[Chorus] Don’t you know it’s gonna be Alright Alright Alright
Thin Lizzy was one of Ireland’s finest band. Before U2 there was Thin Lizzy. In fact in 1976 when U2 formed, Thin Lizzy had a number one hit on Top of The Pops in the UK, with “the Boys are back in Town”
However this blog is not about that song, but about my favourite Lizzy song “The Sun Goes Down”
Co-written with new boy Darren Wharton, this would be the band’s last ever single, and is one of Lynott’s finest compositions. Released on the Vertigo label August 6, 1983 in both 7 inch and 12 inch formats, it was backed by “Baby Please Don’t Go”. Running to a full 6 minutes 19 seconds – surprisingly long for a single – it was produced by the band and Chris Tsangarides. In keeping with the spirit of the track, it features some fine, subdued guitar rather than the customary twin lead manic soloing. The single reached only 52 in the UK charts.
Lyrics
There is a demon among us whose soul belongs in hell Sent here to redeem us, she knows it all to well He comes and goes, he comes and goes she knows it all too well But when all is said and done The sun goes down
She tries her best to leave him, but she is still captured by his spell She knows now she must deceive him, he knows it all to well She comes and goes, she comes and goes, he knows it all too well But when all is said and done The sun goes down
She comes and goes, she comes and goes he knows it all too well But when all is said and done The sun goes down
There is a demon within us The sun goes down She tries her best to deceive him The sun goes down
For a brief period Kiss wore no make up. In my humble opinion that is also the time when they produced their best music.
“Unholy” was written by Gene Simmons and Vinnie Vincent. Featured on their 1992 album Revenge, the song is one of the three Vincent co-writes to appear on the album despite the fact that he had been fired from the band 8 years earlier. The release of “Unholy” signaled the return to a heavier sound for Kiss.
Gene Simmons sings lead on this track, where he takes the voice of evil incarnate, explaining that he was created by man.
This was the first single from the Revenge album, the last one before Kiss put their makeup back on, and their last produced by Bob Ezrin.
Rainbow is without a doubt one of Heavy Metal’s superbands, Founded by Deep Purple’s Richie Blackmore. In this line up the band had Ronnie James Dio as the leader singer. “Catch the Rainbow” is by far their best song.
Yet another highlight from Rainbow’s debut album, the song is about a small, but weird, love story.
As explained by Ronnie James Dio in a 1975 radio special:
“Catch the rainbow is lyrically medieval in that it’s concerning a stable boy who makes it with a lady of the court. She sneaks off to sleep on his bed of straw every night and they think it’s all going to work but as we rudely find out, it never does and they kind of go their own way, but it’s a track that I think Ritchie and I are very proud of.”
[Verse] When evening falls She’ll run to me Like whispered dreams Your eyes can’t see Soft and warm She’ll touch my face A bed of straw Against the lace
[Chorus] We believed we’d catch the rainbow Ride the wind to the sun Sail away on ships of wonder But life’s not a wheel With chains made of steel So bless me Come the dawn Come the dawn Come the dawn Come the dawn
[Chorus] We believed we’d catch the rainbow Ride the wind to the sun And sail away on ships of wonder But life’s not a wheel With chains made of steel So bless me, oh bless me, bless me Come the dawn Come the dawn Come the dawn Come the dawn
