Today at work while I was randomly looking for something to listen to while writing a few emails, I was going through my iTunes and I found my old Foreigner collection.
A long long time ago I used to be nothing more than a very very anti social short fat kid who would listen to nothing other than songs like Witchdoctor by the Cartoons and Dancing Queen by ABBA =P, But then one day as I was going through my dad’s massive collection of cd’s I came across his Foreigner Greatest Hits cd ;-) so me being in the mood for something different to listen to and having no one home but my brother and the servants decided to listen to this cd that i had managed to find.
So I put the thing in the player and I still remember how from the very first chord i heard when the thing started playing my hairs stood on end and it sent shockwaves down my spine. I spent the rest of the day listening to that one song over and over again at max volume and needless to say, I was never the same again xD
So today just for the sake of it I was like why not might as well give it another listen after what must be more that 4 years and DAMN even today from the very first chord it sent shivers down my spine and all my hairs stand on end xD truly this is on of my timeless favorites. I could not find a decent You Tube link to it so here are the lyrics to my first fav rock track JUKE BOX HERO xD
Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn’t get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream
He heard one guitar, just blew him away
He saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day
Bought a beat up six string in a secondhand store
Didn’t know how to play it, but he knew for sure
That one guitar, felt good in his hands
Didnt take long, to understand
Just one guitar, slung way down low
Was one way ticket, only one way to go
So he started rockin
Aint never gonn'a stop
Gotta keep on rockin
Someday he’s gonna make it to the top
And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
He’s a juke box hero
He took one guitar, juke box hero, stars in his eyes
Juke box hero, hell come alive tonight
In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow, by the backstage door
Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain
And that one guitar made his whole life change
Now he needs to keep rockin
He just cant stop
Gotta keep on rockin
That boy has got to stay on top
And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
He’s a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
Yeah, juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
With that one guitar hell come alive
Come alive tonight
Yeah, he’s gotta keep rockin
He just cant stop
Gotta keep on rockin
That boy has got to stay on top
And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
He’s a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
Just one guitar, put stars in his eyes
He’s just a juke box hero, aah aah aah
Juke box hero, juke box hero, he’s got stars in his eyes
Stars in his eyes
until next time =) \\m//
