Warrant - Far Away Eyes

This is a demo of a song that never made it to their debut album. Kinda sad I think since it's a great song!
In the pic we've got lead singer Jani Lane with his lovely Bobbie Brown (who's also in the Cherry Pie video)
They later got married and had a baby.

Wish jani could've seen how much he was respected as a vocalist and song writer. Miss you dude

[@victoriasutton8340]

So sad when they go so so young X

[@kickstartmyhart]

No one sounds like jani. He has a golden voice

[@user-ez1bo3wn5m]

i really wish jani could've seen how much he was loved and cared about and how he was respected as a person, as a human being and a vocalist and songwriter and artist. and as a singer. god bless you jani. i have always cared about you jani. you were such a sweetheart. you had such a beautiful beautiful heart and soul. you were such an amazing person.you were an absolutely fantastic person. such a decent person. and i still care about you as a person. you were a really good guy.

Best underrated band EVER!!! Miss music like this We will never have great music like this again.

[@jay7066]

This song is proof that the record company had NO FUCKING IDEA what a great song sounded like!

[@javtimestwo]

You have no idea my friend. Are you telling me this song is better than "Heaven", "Sometimes She Cries", "I Saw Red", etc... I think not and the Billboard 100 charts will also tell you differently. IMO, this song is ok at best. The melody is not very good and the music is bland at best.

[@r8tedRsuperstar]

Javy C Yeah and you know any better? You are just a typical follower of the media. Whatever they say is a good song for a band, you hop on the band wagon and follow them like sheep. Jani Lane has so many hidden jems that are far better than Heaven, I saw red, and the other radio or Billboard hits. Do you know Warrant had no say so on what songs were played on the radio? Had it been their way, those songs on your holy billboard would have never made it.

[@jay7066]

Rooney Borah You are so right! Jani was very open about the fact that he wanted Warrant to be a true metal band. He wrote 'cherry pie' in 15 minutes. But I believe we will all agree that their talent was never in question. Just wish we still had Jani here to make some new material.

[@javtimestwo]

Rooney-What are you talking about? If, if and another if. Warrant was no different than any other band that was just starting out. The record company calls the shots until the band earns the right to call the shots. I know very much how the record business works. The original debate was which song was better? I'm sorry but this song is not superior to the songs that made in on the albums. Jani was an incredible talent but he had to play the game just like everybody else in the business

[@r8tedRsuperstar]

Javy C The main reason YOU don't think its better, is taste. This song never made it to the Billboard. But, had this song received the airtime on radio and MTV, it would have been a huge hit and made it to the top or damn well near it.. It would've been on all the "Monster Ballad" Compilation Cd's. I personally think its better. But that's just me. I loved all the other ones as well. But for me, its the hidden gems on an album that count.

[@MydNyteRayne]

Such a shame this song was never released on their albums. This song brings me back to those days..

[@MattScorpion]

It's weird, but whenever I hear this song I remember when I was 17. I had just ended a relationship, so you see, this song was like a refuge lol. But it scares me a little to hear it today. It's strange, it seems like yesterday. Jani was a true legend!

[@MydNyteRayne]

When I hear this song it reminds me of the relationship I had when I was 17 that ended 7 years later... :(

For all of you who commented that this was a great song written by Jani. Jani just sang the song, it was written by Eric Turner. It was on Demos for Die-hards. Don't get me wrong, Jani is the ultimate everything to me, singer, songwriter, musician, and front man. He just didn't write this or "Wings of an Angel" also Eric's song.
