This is another song that will keep on keeping forever and a day. The beat was goin’ strong, Playin’ my favorite song And to this day, I still haven’t heard the album the song was on. The video clip was a constant and as a by-product, sales of the single continued to climb. And it did nothing, until 1982.Įnter Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and MTV and what we have is another big single selling a so-so album. The song is written Alan Merrill and Jake Hooker of Arrows, who released their version in 1975. Joan Jett and the Blackhearts – I Love Rock ‘n Roll And 35 years later it is still relevant, because it renews it’s listeners with each generation due to the tongue in cheek lyrics. In Australia this song was played regularly until the early nineties and then it stopped when the sounds of Seattle became popular. And even back in 1982, it was all about the big single. Written by Seth Justman, we all know what the story of the song is.
Geils band never had another hit after it. The single came in September, 1981 but it didn’t really get traction until February 1982, so based on that fact, it is in my 1982 list. Cold Chisel was such a band that people made room for in their wallets and their songs and their words are a part of us. So what we purchased we played until the songs became a part of us. There was a time when we paid for our albums and we didn’t own many because of it. “Forever Now” is a pop classic with a big sing along chorus. Steve Prestwich (RIP) proved his song writing chops on this album. Today, all the pay is gone on mortgage, credit cards and utilities. Piss all my money up against the damn wallĭamn right, pay-day comes and by the weekend, all of the pay is gone on booze. Our youth is only short, so it’s best to enjoy it as much as possible. That’s what the young don’t understand when they are young. You don’t want to be at work, but you need to be, as you need money to live, money to pay off debts and keep the wheels turning in your home life.Īnd the money I saved won’t buy my youth again It was a B-side to one of the singles, however it’s as iconic as the singles.įirst thing you know I’ll be back in Bow River again It’s about a sheep station in the Northern Territory. Guitarist Ian Moss wrote it and sings it. The live favourite “Bow River” is up next. But that didn’t stop Barnsey from working with some of the best writers in the U.S. His biggest solo career song, “Working Class Man” was written by Jonathan Cain from Journey. This grudge would hurt the solo career of Jimmy Barnes in the U.S many years later. He’s angry at Elektra Records for the lack of support given to Cold Chisel in favour of an unknown LA band called Motley Crue. The first single “You Got Nothing I Want” was written by singer Jimmy Barnes. The working title for the album was “Tunnel Cunts”. Main songwriter, Walker didn’t want to do a commercial album again, however he didn’t count on the excellent song writing from drummer Steve Prestwich, who contributed “Forever Now” and the spine-tingling “When The War Is Over”. “East” was their breaking through album and “Circus Animals” proved it wasn’t a fluke. The mighty Chisel’s are rock royalty in Australia.
AVENGED SEVENFOLD SO FAR AWAY LYRICS MEANING FULL
As with the other posts, this post deals with full albums or just individual songs that couldn’t be escaped, because TV and Radio played them non-stop.
Finally after seven parts before this, here is the final part.
When I started to write about music from 1982, I didn’t expect it to be such a large body of work.
