ECLIPSE lyrics observation...

[steveo777]

Anyone remember The Chain Of Love ...Clay Walker crossover country hit?! Whether
you're a country fan or not, it was everywhere ...
It was about loving thy neighbor, paying it forward ...like a chain ...of love

These^^^^ lyrics are a bit confusing ...this chain of love is about leaving the world behind ...being alone?!?!
Where's the chain of love?!? Perhaps I need to actually hear the song?!?!

Voila:

lol ...no, no, no ...I'm waiting!!
I can read!!

The "waiting" room is downstairs. Hurry up!

Shouldn't you be serving as hero and savior in Plokkerville?!?

Don't Fuck with me, Steveo, turning every conversation
into a SP vs AP debate anytime someone critiques the J~boyz might work on some, but you
are messing with the wrong person ...now back off!!

Fuck, the way you're talking, you're taking it waayyyy too seriously. I'm having fun and apparently you are not. Lighten up, it's all in fun and joking around. SP vs AP debate not found in anything I've said today. Where is your lube?

[Rhiannon]

Are they using Steve Perry as a ghost writer? This is some hokey shit.

Chain of Love

One precious moment in the state of grace
Send the magic to an endless night
Feel the goal, feel the peace of mind
True perfection in one true the light

That place in my mind can lead to nowhere
Promises of happiness can leave me wanting more
When my desire becomes a nightmare

There’s no beginning. There’s no end.

An endless circle beyond space and time
It’s the chain of love that binds me
Chain of love that binds me
Chain chain chain chain of love.

Forces in my head will try to rule me
I found a place where I can’t be there anymore

Lost in emotion that I’ve never touched before

If I could get beyond what’s in my mind
Free my spirit, leave the world behind

As I finished reading this, I heard the Price Is Right's fail tuba.

I'm not in the mood for ping~pong, so I won't point out the err of your ways ...but when
you're ready for an aggressive game of racketball ...call me!!
I will presume the morning left me parched!!

Just from listening to the song, these lyrics appear to be pretty off. I'd say they're about 60-70% right.

I grabbed those from Rip's site. Between Filipinos deciphering them, Arnel's accent and the shitty quality of the video, 60-70% may be generous.

Well, hell no wonder they don't make sense ...and they DO NOT!! WTH?!?! funny though!!

I was gonna say... those lyrics looked like they wrote them with those little fridge magnet words while completely blazed out of their skulls on peyote.

and apparently not even good peyote ...
I did figure out, though, that the chain of love in these lyrics is a pair of handcuffs!!!

That makes Homemade Love look normal....

They should have named it "Ring of Love". It would have been like Tolkein wrote it. Maybe it could have been in "The Hobbit".

Makes more sense ...no beginning, no end ...just like in the wedding vows!!

One Chain to rule them all,
One Chain to find them,
One Chain to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them.

[S2M]

Journey needs to use outside writers like Desmond Child, Mutt Lange, Jim Vallance/Bryan Adams, Jack Ponti, or Dan huff....shake things up.

[jestor92]

Journey copying their own music isn't anything new. The ripped the break down from Separate Ways and used it in Message Of Love and Every Generation.

[slucero]

Man.... Chain of Love could have been "Ball and Chain"....

This is the best I can with City of Hope...can someone help out?

There’s a City of Hope
?That will ease all my fears?
Where miracles happen
Where truth can be heard
That’s where I’m From
THE CITY OF HOPE

[Red13JoePa]

State of grace got mentioned again????
twice on Arrival and the title of a song on Red13!!!
Major violation guys

[RossValoryRocks]

One Chain to rule them all,
One Chain to find them,
One Chain to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them.

In the Land of Journey,
Where the Perry-Loons lie...

There’s a City of Hope
?That will ease all my fears?
Where miracles happen
Where truth can be heard
That’s where I’m From
THE CITY OF HOPE

from what I've heard....it's a double chorus. Still hard to decipher some of this.


There’s a City of Hope
?? (I don't think your guess is quite right)
Where miracles happen
Where truth can be heard
don't you wanna go
to the city of hope

family or faith (??--this makes logical sense, but not 100% certain)
connecting us all
a network of hope
??
That’s where I’m from
the city of hope

I think I'm starting to see the concept here. Wrap the songs around the most obscure, mundane lyrics you can and call it a theme.

[(Crazy)Dulce Lady]

Fine job, Matt

State of grace is in one of the new ones ... I remember doing a major eye roll in Vegas when Arnel sang it.

Ha, Dokk. I actually felt that from across the aisle!!

Idk, Matt, it is kinda cool in a way. I'm going to wait to decide completely.

[Rip Rokken]

This is just a reply to the topic in general. I don't think lyrics have to always be cerebral or complex. Sometimes it's really just about how they feel when you're singing them. Some of my favorite songs have brain-dead lyrics, but they are fun as heck to sing. Think about FireHouse's "All She Wrote". I could write those kinds of lyrics in 5 minutes, but the work, lol.

For the Eclipse songs, we've figured out a good chunk of them on AP's site just by straining our brains watching and listening to several different video takes from Vegas, and they make a whole lot more sense in context. Definitely not brain-dead by a long shot. But absolutely fun to sing!
