The initial calling out (like the feeling has built up long enough), could it be like one holding their breath waiting for that perfect moment to say what should be said? This song says a lot and yet we know nothing of the object of his desire. We don't know her name or why she is so hard to reach. Does she have a heart afraid of breaking? Is she even aware of her own inner beauty and that she is worthy of his love? Maybe she has never known true love. Is she hiding in her high rise office building or self imposed locked away in a witch's tower. This is the perfect song of love, it tells of the perfect fairy-tale, a gentleman longing to win the trust and love of someone afraid to "come out of the shadows", to love and to be loved. The release of tension going into the solo, is like the first breath of fresh air after being lock away in a stale room with no light. The vocal harmonies really build on that feeling of the door opening and the light coming in, the rush of crisp air with the sweetness that only comes from the spring blossoms that the bees long for. Even the crisp yet refreshing spring time air on the skin could be comparable to these harmonies, as the sweetness of those words pull you in. Maybe it's what the song does to the soul as evident to those goosebumps you feel. This song can be sung in any key you like, but if you are not Robert Fleischman maybe a key other than D major could be where you open your heart to the love of your life. The solo appears to include D major and F#m7. Vinnie isn't afraid to pour out emotions with these beautiful scales that most bands during the era this song was released (first Invasion Album), in 1986 couldn't even come close to doing. Some of Vinnie's songs are a result of his own voicings he comes up with, very much something like a harmonic minor scale in the 5th mode or some fancy jazz bebop scale. This song has all the wonderful elements of sweet honey and melody.
I want you but you never reply
I can't get through on your line
While your intuition
Keeps holding you down
You're hangin' me up every time
I want you to want me
And whisper my name
In every breath that you take
I want to touch you
And fill up your dreams
And vow your heart will never break
I want your passion
Though it's not your fashion
I know you can make it your style
Don't you know there's no...
Substitute, I live for your touch
Substitute, I want you so much
Substitute, no substitute for your love
Open your window and see the real world
To know what you've been missing
Come out of the shadows
Insecurity lies in a heart
Afraid to listen
Don't gamble your life away
On things that will fade away
Love is waiting for you
Don't you know there's no...
Substitute, I live for your touch
Substitute, I want you so much
Substitute, no substitute for your love
I want your passion
Though it's not your fashion
I know you can make it your style
Don't you know there's no...
Substitute, I live for your touch
Substitute, I want you so much
Substitute, no substitute for your love.
The smells that filled the air on an autumn night in the city, the sounds, the stir of the crowds with a story that could be told by everyone that walks by. But there is this one story that transends the excitement on the city streets on this cool night... Remember that romance that seemed so good? How could there be anything but everlasting love? A more soulful telling of a story similar to Bob Seger's "Hollywood Nights" but this story takes place on the East coast and the girl in this story left such a strong impression on hearts she has broken that the tears still melt on the back streets. For whatever the reason, a restless heart, wanderlust or just old world ways she picked up and disappeared as fast as she arrived. There aren't too many girls like her and the ones this song is about we can't let go. Maybe this story is too distant for some, but that pit we feel in our gut that tells us how real this girl is. There is so much mystery about her. I do
Here it is... An un-released song written by Vinnie Vincent featuring vocals by Görun Edman. “Lightyears beyond the moon, that’s where you are, If only my destiny could lead me to your star”. The Song starts the mood with a harmonious vocal, which sounds like Vinnie Vincent and Gorun Edman. Then after the intro and a pre-chorus you hear the mesmerizing verse and what sounds like a steel slide or (most likely) a pedal steel guitar. Some experienced musicians would argue “why single notes with a pedal steel guitar? I cannot answer that, I just know it adds to the effect. The songs use of either a steel slide or a full pedal steel (its hard to say which) as it is used in this song is just the right amount for notes played along with an electric guitar in the same notes in the verses only parallels the feeling if not amplifies it. To my knowledge no one has combined steel slide, electric guitar with pedal steel and no genre uses such a technique with what I consider a harm
The first few drops, then a few more, and the drops quickly multiply into an applause of little splashes. That's the way the notes start out. Then I heard the outpouring of all that's heavy on the clouds. Or maybe what's heavy on the soul... Would the rain be different if you were stuck at home on a wet Saturday afternoon with your soulmate? Rain can bring two lovers together. Rain can separate a lonely soul from all that brought warmth and assurance that everything is going to be fine. You got through yesterday and maybe tomorrow the sun will be out and you will feel fine, but now spiritual isolation, while life for the one that got away goes on. With nothing but time to reflect on those better days, because right now you only remember the good times. "It's been some time, since I've looked into your eyes, tell me could they still shine for me one more time?" . Because you just know " the threads of our love are still there ", w
