DOKKEN - Broken Heart (Official Audio)

'Broken Heart' is taken from "The Lost Songs: 1978-1981", OUT NOW via Silver Lining Music and available at: smarturl.it/DokkenTheLostSongs
It wasn’t always multi-platinum sales and stadium gigs for Dokken. There was a first-phase and there were early days, and it is those bold first steps to stardom which are celebrated comprehensively on Dokken’s The Lost Songs: 1978-1981 album, out on August 28th 2020 through Silver Lining Music.
Featuring spectacular sleeve art by renowned US artist Tokyo Hiro (Motörhead, Motley Crüe), The Lost Songs: 1978-1981 show the crackle and craft of a hungry young Don Dokken as he embarked upon a journey which started in Southern California and Northern Germany. It is a trek which is testimony to the sheer endeavor and perseverance Don Dokken showed in those few years between 1978 and 1981, starting from when he spent time at a guitar store called Drake’s Music, owned by Drake Levin in Manhattan Beach, California.
A fair selection of the treasure on The Lost Songs: 1978-1981 are from these early European days. “Felony” carries a thuggish fuzz-coated riff think early Van Halen in really greasy embroidered denims while “Day After Day” showed that Don could pen a radio-slaying ballad. The writing and creation of The Lost Songs: 1978-1981 are further tribute to enduring early days of struggle in both Germany and LA., Don would return to LA for a spell after those brief European gigs, and he worked with Croucier on material, including perhaps the truest view of Dokken’s then-future “Hit and Run”, which incredibly did not end up on the eventual Breaking The Chains release. From the sunbaked SoCal hook of “Step Into The Light” to the furious, fledgling, late-Sunset Strip sound of “Back In The Streets,” The Lost Songs: 1978-1981 shows Don in his unfettered early days of balls-out attitude, qualities doubtless forged in the sheer nature of the adventures undertaken in writing, recording and deciding Europe was the place to keep cutting his teeth.
The Lost Songs: 1979-1981 not only shares that magic with the fans, it gives them the final, vital and undeniably missing (until now) early album in the Dokken collection.

Lovin this early Dokken! 🤘🏿

[@markkrasowski2764]

I watched Don record this song in Hermosa Beach. So Killer, Marshalls were soooo loud. Used to be a killer guitar player. Huge influence on me when I was a 15 year old kid..... Hotwire & Dokken Lawndale studio :)

[@napesdrk1174]

Who did the solo? George or Don?

RexCars1 I love both. Both are great and Dokken is all around my favorite band

[@rentedtux1883]

No. Pilson, Lynch and Brown were by far the best.

My mom works with Steven Barry right now and when I found that out I immediately asked for her to get his autograph he's a sound guy at a fair

Something's going on The shattered edge of night, it calls to me Calls me That my love, she's gone away Away Far away from here Yes, she's gone And all I've got is this broken heart And all I've got is this broken heart Broken heart She can't hear my cries Far away, she can't see my tears Oh no Far away from here, she's gone She's gone Away Never to return Yes, it's true, and all I've got is this broken heart All I've got is this broken heart Broken heart Broken heart Far across the sea Back to distant lands where she comes from They say she was just a dream, a dream I know I know But I love her still Yes, she's gone, she's gone And left me here with this broken heart Left me here with this broken heart All I've got is this broken heart All I've got is this broken heart

[@johnnybrown9581]

Has a real 70’s feel in the instruments, but the vocals are very 80’s😎 Awesome guitar work, too, is that Lynch?

[@lanec4702]

Don did guitars and I think this came out in 78

[@SuperHotrod4]

Who's playing this track?

[@dnd820]

Was that Don ripping it up?!? Honest question........I knew he played guitar, just didn't know if he was a guitar play. Why didn't Don and George share duties, (for a lack of a better word)?

[@yamakawirodebike5710]

Don was a '3 piece" with him vocals/guitar called AIRBORNE (vid from Europe on YT) Yes hes REALLY good ....BUT..... GEORGE had to be the only guitar in Dokken. Even if Don wanted to play rhythm only.....hed throw a tantrum. Suck we lost out on some "twin leads". Take care!!

[@matthorowitz1861]

It got so contentious between Don and George that there was actually legal language that prohibited Don from even playing guitar on stage circa 1986-1987. For those years before, opening up for Loverboy, we saw the twin guitar attack

[@MistaSCARY]

“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world. After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you. To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5:6-11‬ ‭NASB‬‬
