Harem Scarem * OFFICIAL * With a Little Love

With a Little Love from the 1991 album release "Harem Scarem".
Lyrics:
(Hess / Lesperance)
I lie awake all through the night
And think of you to break the morning light
Thoughts in my head, gotta make you understand
That love is what you need, won't let you slip through my hands
You said you'd never leave, and I guess you could be wrong
I won't have anyone to blame,I won't have anyone at all
With a little love, I keep holding onto you forever
With a little love, we can see it through together
I try to wait and just hold on
There's so many things I believe could go wrong
So I close my eyes, and pray for the day
That we can take all the lies and just throw them away
You said you'd never leave, and I guess you could be wrong
I won't have anyone to blame, I won't have anyone at all
I'm sure you're wondering where the name Harem Scarem came from. It's really not that big a mystery - everyone always assumes that there is a big story behind the naming of a band (especially when the name is as unique as Harem Scarem!) However, the real story is simply that Harem Scarem is the name of the first Bugs Bunny cartoon. At the time the guys needed a name for the band, they were fans of Bugs Bunny and thought it would make a good name for the band!
Harem Scarem was formed out of the remains of two virtually unkown bands in Canada in the late 1980's. Harry Hess had been the lead vocalist with the metal band Blind Vengeance and Pete Lesperance had been the guitarist for Minotaur. They formed to become the primary songwriting force behind Harem Scarem and are responsible for creating a large part of the Harem Scarem sound. Along with drummer (and excellent vocalist in his own right!) Darren Smith and bassist Mike Gionet, they went on to form the original line-up of Harem Scarem.
The members of the band remained unchanged until shortly after the recording of Voice of Reason when Mike Gionet left the band for personal reasons. Barry Donaghy (formerly of Blu Bones) stepped in and more than filled the void left by Mike's departure.
The band exploded onto the music scene in 1991 with their self-titled debut album, Harem Scarem. The first album spawned several singles and videos which proceeded to take Canada by storm. Songs like "Slowly Slipping Away", "Honestly" and "Hard To Love" were pure gold on the radio and started to create an international following for this new band. While the world was just starting to find out about Harem Scarem, lucky listeners in their native Canada had already become familiar with their distinctive sound through countless performances in local bars and clubs. However, before that the band had recorded a demo tape that was instrumental in their signing with Warner Music Canada. The self-produced and recorded demo was almost unprecedented for an unkown band -- they even managed to get the demo pressed on CD for potential labels. (These days it's commonplace for even local bar bands to make and distribute their own CDs, but at the time, it was still a very expensive risk for the guys to take.) Copies of that original demo CD are now treasured collectibles among HS fans, and even pop up on eBay every once in a while. The band wrote the songs and recorded the demo before ever playing in front of a live audience, knowing that people wanted to hear original songs that weren't just put together in an hour. They took their time and got the right mix of ballads and rockers together in order to attract faithful listeners. In the end, I think it's safe to say that their plan worked out well, since they are now known worldwide.

That's because Scarem isn't as big as they should have been in Canada their from Oshawa Ontario the drummer is a good friend of mine they're really big in Japan

[@thiefgold0913]

They got a large discography with alot of great songs, They should of been up with def leppard. There better then GNR

[@jimmyboy1580]

Put this band in the mid to late 80's and they would have kicked some major ass. Unfortunately we all know what happened to this kind of rockin' sound in the 90's. A lot of people switched to grunge and rock bands like Harem Scarem had a hell of a time surviving. This is a damn good Canadian band that deserved a much better fate. Their song writing and musical formula was so bang on.

[@victoriasfriedchicken7049]

there is that thing called age...if i were born in the 70's i'd be rich by now but, hey, i was born in the 80's, just a few years late and i work to pay for my things...dont know if you get the idea. but great music whatsoever. as for me, a great discovery

@@balintpetervari8450 It's not her, it's him. Everyone has their opinion and they deserve to be respect .

[@jorgemezzomoneto7561]

I love Motley Crue and Poison. That's for sure. However, some same style bands that showed up after some years (or decades) throughout the succumbing of Hard Rock to Grunge and Alternative Rock, are way more talented and, sadly, didn't have the same success. Winger, Danger Danger, Gotthard and, surely, Harem Scarem are some of them. These guys deserve more recognition.

[@adrianbradley8513]

I hartly agree. I've had a similar experience with my taste in rock. I listened to Def Leppard and Poison during the eighties but hadn't even heard of the rock genre AOR untill I got into Journey a few years before the TV SHOW GLEE made "Don't Stop Believin" more popular over here in the UK(I live in Northern Ireland)I've always wondered how I never heard of AOR but had heard of Survivor. Also by listening to Classic Rock Magazine free AOR compilation CDs I found out about some great Scandanavian AOR bands like Grand Illusion,Houston ,Lionvile etc and the American band Nightranger. Since then I can't believe the number of AOR bands I've gotten into. I'm still discovering more. There must be THOUSANDS of them and the amount of them from Scandanavian countries that sing in English is AMAZING.

[@floyd-boy7469]

Pete is my favorite guitarist. He is the most talented who I have ever know.

Adore! Just ADORE Harem Scarem!! They set my soul on peace and calm and dreamy mood.

Long and happy years to all of you, LOVE YOU with all my heart!
