Bonfire - You Make Me Feel

You Make Me Feel: The Ballads is the fifth compilation by the German hard rock band Bonfire.

It is a greatest hits collection that was released by LZ Records in 2009, featuring a double CD set of all the best ballad songs by the band.

The album also features a new version of "You Make Me Feel" as well as "Domo Arigato" that was on the Japanese version of The Räuber.

Although at the time of this release Dominik Huelshorst was the band's drummer, it is the previous drummer, Jurgen Wiehler, that plays on the two songs previously mentioned.

The lyrics:

Deep in the night, when I'm alone.

My heart starts to burn, cause I feel for you.

I've been away too long from my love.

I leave it up to you to understand.

I've got this feeling, deep in my mind.

Come back and love me, just one more time.

On the ground of an ocean, we buried our love far away.

My heart's still bleeding, won't you come back and stay.

But I can't understand, why there's salt in my eyes.

And I can't understand, why your heart is in disguise.

For I still need you, and I want you to come back again.

You make me feel like never again.

I can't find the answer from the look in your eyes.

My heart's still crying. Don't tell me your love is a lie.

You're still the one.Who can set me in a state of trance.

Why don't we give us a second chance.

But I can't understand, why you laugh, though you cry.

And I can't understand, why I don't say goodbye.

For I still need you, and I want you to come back again.

You make me feel like never again.

For I still need you, and I want you to come back again.

You make me feel like never again.

Video hit Guns N' Roses

Guns N' Roses - Patience

"Patience" is a power ballad by American hard rock band Guns N' Roses, which appears on the album G N' R Lies and was released as a single in 1989. The song peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The song is played using three acoustic guitars and was recorded in a single session by producer Mike Clink. A music video of the song was shot and appears on the band's music video DVD, Welcome to the Videos.

The music and lyrics were both written by Izzy Stradlin.

Tesla guitarist, Frank Hannon, later implied that Guns N' Roses had copied Tesla's earlier work, stating that a demo by Tesla called "Better Off Without You" was "'Patience' note for note."

Hannon later backtracked on his blog, saying "The song is a great song that they wrote themselves, and it is only the end part that has any similar part to the guitar chords we used. I apologize for any controversy or dis-respect I may have projected in my joking around with Eddie Trunk about this."

The motivation for the track is generally accepted to be the troublesome relationship between Axl Rose and now ex-wife Erin Everly, though this was never stated in the album or interviews. According to bass guitarist Duff McKagan, "Axl came up with a great lyric, seemingly out of nowhere, that of course became the story and melody of that song."

It has also been stated by the band that Izzy wrote the song about his ex-girlfriend Angela Nicoletti McCoy, but it may simply be about failed relationships in general.

Steven Adler did not record on the track, although in some live performances prior to release of the album, such as their performance at the Orange County Fair in New York in the summer of 1988, percussion (and electric instruments) were used.

In the video, the band members are situated in a hotel where they are the only constant images, as all other people are present for a moment, then fade away. More recently fans have taken another view on the song, as now Rose is the only remaining member from the original lineup. In a precognitive twist, the final parts of the video show Rose sitting alone in his home watching older Guns N' Roses videos in what appears to be a sad and lonely state.

The video, directed by Nigel Dick, was one of many produced by the band.

It was the last video in which Steven Adler appeared (even though he did not play on the recorded track) and the last before the Use Your Illusion videos.

The video was shot in The Ambassador Hotel, famous because Bobby Kennedy was assassinated there in 1968.

The hotel was inoperative and scheduled for demolition, but was not demolished until 2006.

The lyrics:

One, two, one, two, three, four

Shed a tear because I'm missing you

I'm still alright to smile

Girl, I think about you every day now

Was a time when I wasn't sure

But you set my mind at ease

There is no doubt you're in my heart now

Said, woman, take it slow

And it'll work itself out fine

All we need is just a little patience

Said, sugar, make it slow

And we'll come together fine

All we need is just a little patience

Patience

I sit here on the stairs

Cause I'd rather be alone

If I can't have you right now I'll wait, dear

Sometimes I get so tense

But I can't speed up the time

But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider

Said, woman, take it slow

And things will be just fine

You and I'll just use a little patience

Said, sugar, take the time

'Cause the lights are shining bright

You and I've got what it takes to make it

We won't fake it

Oh, I'll never break it

Cause I can't take it

Little patience, mhh yeah

Need a little patience, mhh yeah

Just a little patience, mhh yeah

Some more patience

I've been walking the streets at night (yeah)

Just trying to get it right (Need some patience)

It's hard to see with so many around (yeah)

You know, I don't like being stuck in the crowd (Could use some patience)

And the streets don't change but, baby, the names(yeah)

I ain't got time for the game (Gotta have some patience)

'Cause I need you, yeah (yeah)

Yeah, but I need you (All it takes is patience, yeah)

Oh, I need you (Just a little patience)

Oh, I need you (Is all you need)

Oh, this time

Video hit Bonnie Tyler

Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart

"Total Eclipse of the Heart" is a song recorded by Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler. It was written and produced by Jim Steinman, and released on Tyler's fifth studio album, Faster Than the Speed of Night (1983).

The song was released as a single by Columbia Records on 11 February 1983 in the United Kingdom, and 31 May 1983 in the United States.

"Total Eclipse of the Heart" became Tyler's biggest career hit, reaching number one in several countries including the UK, where it was the fifth-best-selling single in 1983, and the US, making her the first and only Welsh singer to reach the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100. It was Billboard's number-six song of the year for 1983. With physical sales in excess of 9 million copies, Tyler's recording is one of the best-selling singles of all time.

The song has been certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Steinman said in an interview with Playbill, "with Total Eclipse of the Heart, I was trying to come up with a love song and I remembered I actually wrote that to be a vampire love song. Its original title was Vampires in Love because I was working on a musical of Nosferatu, the other great vampire story. If anyone listens to the lyrics, they're really like vampire lines. It's all about the darkness, the power of darkness and love's place in dark...”

He also told People magazine that he thought Tyler sounded like John Fogerty, and wrote the song "to be a showpiece for her voice."

Tyler described the song as "a challenge [to sing]," stating that she "[doesn't] like songs that anybody can sing. I like songs that need a lot of energy."

After Steinman presented her with the song she told The Times, "I just had shivers right up my spine... ...I couldn't wait to actually get in and record it."

According to Meat Loaf, Steinman had written the song, along with "Making Love Out of Nothing at All", for Meat Loaf's album Midnight at the Lost and Found; however, Meat Loaf's record company refused to pay Steinman and he wrote separate songs himself. "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was then given to Bonnie Tyler and "Making Love Out of Nothing at All" to Air Supply.

Tyler has denied this claim to be true.

"Meat Loaf was apparently very annoyed that Jim gave that to me," Tyler stated. "But Jim said he didn’t write it for Meat Loaf, that he only finished it after meeting me."

The song's melody originally appeared as part of the soundtrack for the 1980 film A Small Circle of Friends.

Music Video

The music video for "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was directed by Russell Mulcahy.

It was story-boarded by Jim Steinman and drew inspiration from the 1976 film Futureworld.

The Gothic-themed video features Bonnie Tyler clad in white, apparently having an erotic dream or fantasy about her students in a boys' boarding school.

Young men are seen dancing and participating in various school activities such as swimming, karate, gymnastics, football, fencing, soccer, and singing in a choir.

The video was shot at Holloway Sanatorium, notable for its Gothic architecture and distinguished for the multi-arched grand entrance as seen at the end of the video.

The lyrics:

Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round

Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears

Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit nervous

That the best of all the years have gone by

Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit terrified

And then I see the look in your eyes

Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild

Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms

Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry

Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit terrified

But then I see the look in your eyes

Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight

And I need you more than ever

And if you only hold me tight

We'll be holding on forever

And we'll only be making it right

'Cause we'll never be wrong together

We can take it to the end of the line

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time

I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark

We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight

Forever's gonna start tonight

Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love

But now I'm only falling apart

There's nothing I can do

A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life

But now there's only love in the dark

Nothing I can say

A total eclipse of the heart

Turn around bright eyes

Turn around bright eyes

Turn around, every now and then I know you'll never be the boy you always wanted to be

Turn around, every now then I know you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am

Turn around, every now and then I know there's no one in the universe as magical and wondrous as you

Turn around, every now and then I know there's nothing any better

And there's nothing that I just wouldn't do

Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight

And I need you more than ever

And if you'll only hold me tight

We'll be holding on forever

And we'll only be making it right

'Cause we'll never be wrong together

We can take it to the end of the line

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time

I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark

We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight

Forever's gonna start tonight

Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love

But now I'm only falling apart

Nothing I can do

A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life

But now there's only love in the dark

Nothing I can say

A total eclipse of the heart

Video hit Joe Dassin

Joe Dassin - Les Champs-Elysées

Joseph Ira "Joe" Dassin (November 5, 1938 – August 20, 1980) was an American-born Jewish-French singer-songwriter.

Early life

Dassin was born in New York city to American film director Jules Dassin (1911 - 2008) and Béatrice Launer (1913–2005), a New York-born violinist, who after graduating from a Hebrew High School in the Bronx studied with the British violinist Harold Berkely at the Juilliard School of Music.

Both parents were Jewish. His father was of Russian- and Polish-Jewish extraction, his maternal grandfather was an Austrian Jewish immigrant, who arrived in New York with his family at age 11.

He began his childhood first in New York City and Los Angeles. However, after his father fell victim to the Hollywood blacklist in 1950, he and his family moved from place to place across Europe.

Dassin studied at the International School of Geneva and the Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland, and graduated in Grenoble. Dassin moved back to the United States where he attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan from 1957 to 1963, winning an undergraduate Hopwood Award for fiction in 1958 and earning a Bachelor of Arts in 1961 and a Master of Arts in 1963, both in Anthropology.

Career

Moving to France, Dassin worked as a technician for his father and appeared as an actor in supporting roles in a number of movies directed by his father, including Topkapi where he played the role of "Josef".

On December 26, 1964, Dassin signed up with CBS Records, making him the first French singer to sign up with an American record label.

By the early 1970s, Dassin's songs were on the top of the charts in France and he had become immensely popular in that country. He was also a talented polyglot, recording songs in German, Spanish, Italian and Greek, as well as French and English. One of his most popular songs was "L'Été indien".

Personal life

Dassin married Maryse (whose real first name is Yvette) Massiéra in Paris on January 18, 1966.

Their son Joshua was born 2 1/2 months early on September 12, 1973 and died 5 days later.

Overcome by grief, Joe became deeply depressed.

Despite all their efforts their marriage did not survive.

One year after their move to their newly built home in Feucherolles, just outside Paris, they divorced in 1977.

On January 14, 1978, Dassin married Christine Delvaux in Cotignac.

Their first son Jonathan was born on September 14, 1978, and their second son Julien arrived on March 22, 1980.

Christine died in December 1995.

Dassin died of a heart attack during a vacation to Tahiti on August 20, 1980.

He is survived by his two sons, both living in France, as well as his two younger sisters, Richelle (b. 1940) and Julie (b. 1945) and his parents Jules Dassin (1911-2008) and Béatrice Launer (1913–2005).

His body is interred in the Beth Olam section of Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Hollywood, California.

The lyrics:

Je me baladais sur l'avenue le coeur ouvert à l'inconnu

J'avais envie de dire bonjour à n'importe qui

N'importe qui et ce fut toi, je t'ai dit n'importe quoi

Il suffisait de te parler, pour t'apprivoiser

Aux Champs-Elysées, aux Champs-Elysées

Au soleil, sous la pluie, à midi ou à minuit

Il y a tout ce que vous voulez aux Champs-Elysées

Tu m'as dit "J'ai rendez-vous dans un sous-sol avec des fous

Qui vivent la guitare à la main, du soir au matin"

Alors je t'ai accompagnée, on a chanté, on a dansé

Et l'on n'a même pas pensé à s'embrasser

Aux Champs-Elysées, aux Champs-Elysées

Au soleil, sous la pluie, à midi ou à minuit

Il y a tout ce que vous voulez aux Champs-Elysées

Hier soir deux inconnus et ce matin sur l'avenue

Deux amoureux tout étourdis par la longue nuit

Et de l'Étoile à la Concorde, un orchestre à mille cordes

Tous les oiseaux du point du jour chantent l'amour

Aux Champs-Elysées, aux Champs-Elysées

Au soleil, sous la pluie, à midi ou à minuit

Il y a tout ce que vous voulez aux Champs-Elysées

Aux Champs-Elysées, aux Champs-Elysées

Au soleil, sous la pluie, à midi ou à minuit

Il y a tout ce que vous voulez aux Champs-Elysées

Aux Champs-Elysées, aux Champs-Elysées

Don't let them fool ya,

Or even try to school ya! Oh, no!

We've got a mind of our own,

So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right!

Love would never leave us alone,

Ay-in the darkness there must come out to light.

Could you be loved, and be loved?

Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?

(The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too,

So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you)

Love your brother, man!

(Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?

Could you be - could you be loved?

Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?

Could you be - could you be loved?)

Don't let them change ya, oh!

Or even rearrange ya! Oh, no!

We've got a life to live.

They say: only - only -

Only the fittest of the fittest shall survive -

Stay alive! Eh!

Could you be loved, and be loved?

Could you be loved, wo now! - and be loved?

(You ain't gonna miss your water until your well runs dry;

No matter how you treat him, the man will never be satisfied.)

Say something! (Could you be - could you be - could you be loved?

Could you be - could you be loved?)

Say something! Say something!

Video hit Jimmy Page & Robert Plant

Jimmy Page & Robert Plant - Kashmir (with Egyptian Orchestra)

"Kashmir" is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin from their sixth album Physical Graffiti, released in 1975.

It was written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant (with contributions from John Bonham) over a period of three years with lyrics dating to 1973.

The song became a concert staple, being performed by the band at almost every concert since its release. Page and Plant released a longer live version, recorded with an Egyptian/Moroccan orchestra, on No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded (1994) and continued to perform the tune with an orchestra on their 1995 tour.

The song includes many distinctive musical patterns of classical Moroccan, Indian and Middle Eastern music. Page explained, "I had a sitar for some time and I was interested in modal tunings and Arabic stuff. It started off with a riff and then employed Eastern lines underneath."

Orchestral brass and strings with electric guitar and mellotron strings appear in the song. This is one of the few Led Zeppelin songs to use outside musicians. Session players were brought in for the string and horn sections.

According to Jones, "the secret of successful keyboard string parts is to play only the parts that a real string section would play. That is, one line for the First Violins, one line for Second Violins, one for Violas, one for Cellos, one for Basses. Some divided parts [two or more notes to a line] are allowed, but keep them to a minimum. Think melodically".

Lyrics

The lyrics were written by Plant in 1973 immediately after Led Zeppelin's 1973 US Tour, in an area he called "the waste lands" of Southern Morocco, while driving from Goulimine to Tantan in the Sahara Desert.

This was despite the fact that the song is named after Kashmir, a region in the northwestern part of the Himalayas.

As Plant explained to rock journalist Cameron Crowe:

“The whole inspiration came from the fact that the road went on and on and on. It was a single-track road which neatly cut through the desert. Two miles to the East and West were ridges of sandrock. It basically looked like you were driving down a channel, this dilapidated road, and there was seemingly no end to it. 'Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dreams...' It's one of my favourites...that, 'All My Love' and 'In the Light' and two or three others really were the finest moments. But 'Kashmir' in particular. It was so positive, lyrically”.

Plant also commented on the challenges he faced in writing lyrics for such a complex piece of music:

“It was an amazing piece of music to write to, and an incredible challenge for me ... Because of the time signature, the whole deal of the song is… not grandiose, but powerful: it required some kind of epithet, or abstract lyrical setting about the whole idea of life being an adventure and being a series of illuminated moments. But everything is not what you see. It was quite a task, ’cause I couldn’t sing it. It was like the song was bigger than me. It’s true: I was petrified, it’s true. It was painful; I was virtually in tears”.

The whole inspiration came from the fact that the road went on and on and on. It was a single-track road which neatly cut through the desert. Two miles to the East and West were ridges of sandrock. It basically looked like you were driving down a channel, this dilapidated road, and there was seemingly no end to it. 'Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dreams...' It's one of my favourites...that, 'All My Love' and 'In the Light' and two or three others really were the finest moments. But 'Kashmir' in particular. It was so positive, lyrically”.

In an interview he gave to William S. Burroughs in 1975, Page mentioned that at the time the song was composed, none of the band members had ever been to Kashmir.

The lyrics:

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars fill my dreams

I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been

To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen

They talk of days for which they sit and wait, all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace, sounds caress my ears

But not a word I heard could I relay, the story was quite clear

Ohh

(Chorus)

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oooh, baby I've been flying... No, yeah, mama, there ain't no denyin'

Oooh yeah, I've been flying, mama, mama ain't no denyin', no denyin'

Oh, all I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground

And my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land

Tryin' to find....Tryin' to find where I've been.

Oh, pilot of the storm that leaves no trace, like thoughts inside a dream

sponsored links

Heed the path that led me to that place, yellow desert stream

My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon, I will return again

Like the dust that floats high in June, when moving through Kashmir.

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years

With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear

Ohh

(Chorus)

When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah

When I see, when I see the way they stay, yeah

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down...

Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, well I'm down, so down

Ooh, my baby, oooh, my baby, let me take you there

Let me take you there

Let me take you there

Video hit Duran Duran

Duran Duran - Ordinary World

"Ordinary World" is the first single from Duran Duran's self-titled 1993 album, better known as The Wedding Album.

The single reached No. 1 on the U.S. Hot 100 Airplay chart, U.S. Top 40 Mainstream and the Canadian singles chart. It also peaked at No. 3 in the American charts, No. 2 on the U.S. Alternative rock chart and No. 6 in the British charts.

The song won an Ivor Novello Award in May 1994.

Simon LeBon, the vocalist, later sang the song with Luciano Pavarotti, to help children affected by war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

In a retrospective review of "Ordinary World", Allmusic journalist Donald A. Guarisco praised the song for having what he described as "a warm ballad feel, matching elegant verses full of entrancing repeating-note hooks with a rousing chorus built on soaring runs of ascending notes." Guarisco described Simon LeBon's vocal as being "rich in emotion but tastefully restrained".

The music video was filmed by director Nick Egan at Huntington Gardens in San Marino, California and the song later featured in the soundtrack to the film Layer Cake in 2005.

The lyrics to "Ordinary World" were written by Simon Le Bon as the second of a trilogy of songs for his late friend David Miles; the others being "Do You Believe in Shame?" (1988) and "Out of My Mind" (1997).

The lyrics:

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue

Thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV, and the radio

Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?

Crazy someone say

Where is the life that I recognize?

Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday

There's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find

And as I try to make my way

To the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say

"Pride will tear us both apart"

Well now prides gone out the window

Cross the rooftops, run away

Left me in the vacuum of my heart

What is happening to me?

Crazy someone say

Where is my friend when I need you most?

Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday

There's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find

And as I try to make my way

To the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed

Fear today, forgot tomorrow

Besides the news of holy war and holy need

Ours is just a little sorrowed talk

(Just blown away)

And I don't cry for yesterday

There's an ordinary world

Somehow I have to find

And as I try to make my way

To the ordinary world

I will learn to survive

Every world is my world

(I will learn to survive)

Any world is my world

(I will learn to survive)

Any world is my world

Every world is our world

Now that I've found you've lied, and I can't believe it's true

Wrapped in his arms, I see you across the street

I can't help but wonder if she knows what's going on

You talk about that love but you don't know how it feels

When you realize that you're not the only one

You'd better stop before you tear me all apart

You'd better stop before you go and break my heart

Oh, whoa, you'd better stop

Time after time, I've tried to walk away

But it's not that easy when your soul is torn in two

So I just resign myself to it every day

Now all I can do is leave it up to you

You'd better stop before you tear me all apart

You'd better stop before you go and a break my heart

Oh, whoa, you'd better stop

You'd better stop if you love me

Now it's time to be sorry

I won't believe that you walked out on me

You'd better stop before you tear me all apart

You'd better stop before you break my lonely heart

Whoa, whoa, you better, whoa, whoa

Whoa, oh, you better stop

Better stop
