Lyrics:
There's a story in my eyes
Turn the pages of desire
Now it's time to trade those dreams
For the rush of passion's fire
I can feel you tremble when we touch
And I feel the hand of fate
Reaching out to both of us
I can't hold back
I'm on the edge
I can't hold back
Your voice explodes
Inside my head
I can't hold back
I won't back down
Girl, it's too late
To turn back now

I was thinking about the other day. I think history will look back and the 80s will be looked at as the pinnacle of American civilization. No major wars going on, the financial apex of the county. Everything was full of hope and optimism, no iPhones, no social media BS. It was really an amazing decade to grow up in.

I was born in 1968. Survivor was the best in 84- 85. I was a junior and senior. With Jimi Jamisons soaring voice. You would never have thought that he could sing like that. He was country as all get out. Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. But when he sang it was like another entity. His talent will live on forever. 😀

No, friend. What the world will hopefully forget is the plastic fakery that took over. Today's youth are discovering these timeless classics through youtube when they're not wasting time on the immature Tiktok. I want to remain optomistic that young artists will look to this era not just as old-school to mock for it's cheesiness. But as aspiring them to create the anthems of tomorrow that will chant away this embarrasing era of twerking, sampling, autotune, banality, and vulgarity.

[@rainymoon9848]

No, they just don't play new music by most older artists/singer/groups on the radio. The group Find Me recently covered Survivor's song "I See You In Everyone" from the Vital Signs album on their new upcoming album. There are songs from Bob Seger's last 3 albums that I would rank among his best songs. Particularly the songs: "I Knew You When", "Gates of Eden", "Are You", and "Face the Promise", etc. Seger had a platinum album when he was 60/61 years old (Face the Promise - 2006). The co-songwriter of this song, "I Can't Hold Back", Jim Peterik, had 2 albums released this month that feature songs written/co-written by him. Jimi Jamison's previously unreleased country/southern rock album and the newest World Stage album. One of the most popular songs from the new World Stage album is "Been to the Mountain" a rock song sung by Chicago's former lead singer (for 30/31 years), Jason Scheff. Peterik is going to be working with producer Ron Nevison (who produced Vital Signs and When Seconds Count) on a new album this year.

That's how well respected Survivor were. Other rock bands saw Survivor as like a benchmark, a higher level of musicianship and talent. True genius.

That woman was a 5’4” Chicago based model named Lee Ann Marie. She was 26 at the time. From 1979 to 1982, she was a pro cheerleader for the Chicago Bulls and the Chicago Bears and modeled in print ads for various products such as workout equipment and apparel, furniture.

Back when Auto-tune wasn't a thing, you either had the pipes or you didn't. There were so many good singers that could really sing and they gave us so many good songs and memories that almost everyone who was a teenager in the 80's would go back in a heartbeat.

There is new music like this. Check out Dino Jelusick. He has lots of original stuff, plus he's done a bunch of 80's covers on his YT channel. His voice is amazing & brings back so many wonderful memories. It gives me hope for the future of rock/metal music! ☺☺

There's a story in my eyes Turn the pages of desire Now it's time to trade those dreams For the rush of passion's fire I can feel you tremble when we touch And I feel the hand of fate Reaching out to both of us I've been holding back the night I've been searching for a clue from you I'm gonna try with all my might To make this story line come true Can ya feel me tremble when we touch Can ya feel the hand of fate Reaching out to both of us This love affair can't wait I can't hold back, I'm on the edge (I can't hold back) You voice explodes inside my head I can't hold back, I won't back down Girl it's too late to turn back now Another shooting star goes by And in the night the silence speaks to you and I And now the time has come at last Don't let the moment run too fast I can feel you tremble when we touch And I feel the hand of fate reaching out to both of us There's a story in my eyes, turn the pages of desire Now it's time to trade those dreams For the rush of passion's fire I can't hold back, I'm on the edge (I can't hold back) You voice explodes inside my head I can't hold back, I won't back down Girl it's too late to turn back now

There were so many stupid videos back in the 80s, I know, I was there. This one however was not one of them. This excellent video was way ahead of its time and the twist at the end left the viewer with a smile. It was a superb song that deserved a video of this caliber to make it all the more memorable. And after all these years, I still love this song.
