Wasted Time

Una de las mejores baladas de SKID ROW, extraída de su album "Slave to the Grind" (1991).

You and I together in our lives
Sacred ties would never fray
Why cant I let myself tell lies
And watch you die every day
I think back to the times
When dreams were what mattered
Tough talking youth naivete
You said you never let me down
But the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation
Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind
Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what
You left behind
Paranoid delusions they haunt you
Wheres my friend I used to know
Hes all alone
Hes buried deep within a carcass
Searching for a soul
Can you feel me inside your heart
As its bleeding
Why cant you believe you
Cant be loved
I hear you scream in agony
And the horse stampedes and rages
In the name of desperation
Is it all just wasted time
Can you look at yourself
When you think of what
You left behind
Is it all just wasted time
Can you live with yourself
When you think of what
You left behind
The sun will rise again
The earth will turn to sand
Creations colors seem to fade to grey
And youll see the sickly hands of time
Will write your final rhyme
And end a memory
I never thought youd let it get
This far, boy
I never thought,
I never thought youd let it get
This far, boy
I never thought,
I never thought youd let it get
This far, boy
I never thought youd let it get
This far, boy

November rain

Conocida balada de Guns'n'Roses, extraída de su doble album USE YOUR ILLUSION (Parte I), una de sus canciones más largas, durando en un directo hasta 15 minutos:

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain

But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin' in the cold November rain

Do you need some time... on your own
Do you need some time... all alone
Everybody needs some time... on their own
Don't you know you need some time... all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time... on my own
Sometimes I need some time... all alone
Everybody needs some time... on their own
Don't you know you need some time... all alone

And when your fears subside and shadows still remain, oh yeah
I know that you can love me when there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness we still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever even cold November rain

You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody

The Price

Un grupo de estética tan extravagante, también hizo baladas como esta:

How long I have wanted
this dream to come true
and as it approaches
I can't believe I'm through
I've tried, oh, how I've tried
for a life, yes a life
I thought I knew
oh it's the price we gotta pay
and all the games we gotta play
makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'cause it's a game we gotta lose,
though it's a life we gotta choose
and the price is our own life until it's done
time seems to have frozen,
but the mind can be fooled
as the days pass I discover
destiny just can't be ruled
hard times, oh hard times,
for the prize, yes the prize,
I thought I knew
oh it's the price we gotta pay
and all the games we gotta play
makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'cause it's a game we gotta lose,
though it's a life we gotta choose
and the price is our own life until it's done
oh it's the price we gotta pay
and all the games we gotta play
makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'cause it's a game we gotta lose,
though it's a life we gotta choose
and the price is our own life until it's done
oh it's the price we gotta pay
and all the games we gotta play
makes me wonder if it's worth it to carry on
'cause it's a game we gotta lose,
though it's a life we gotta choose
and the price is our own life until it's done

Don't talk to strangers

El pasado 16 de Mayo, Ronnie James Dio nos dejó. Un cáncer estomacal le ganó la partida y retiró al que fuera voz de Black Sabbath, de Rainbow, cerebro de Elf y de su banda Dio en un momento cumbre de su carrera. D.E.P.

Don't talk to strangers
'Cause they're only there to do you harm
Don't write in starlight
'Cause the words may come out real

Don't hide in doorways
You may find the key that opens up your soul
Don't go to heaven
'Cause it's really only hell

Don't smell the flowers
They're an evil drug to make you lose your mind
Don't dream of women
'Cause they only bring you down

Hey you, you know me, you've touched me, I'm real
I'm forever the one that lets you look and see and
Feel me
I'm danger - I'm the stranger

And I, I'm darkness, I'm anger, I'm pain
I am master
The evil song you sing inside your brain
Drive you insane
Don't talk

Don't let them inside your mind, yeah
Run away, run away, go!

No - no

Don't let them in your mind
Protect your soul

Don't dance in darkness
You may stumble and you're sure to fall
Don't write in starlight
'Cause the words may come out real

Don't talk to strangers [Don't talk to strangers]
'Cause they're only there to make you sad
Don't dream of women
'Cause they'll only bring you down
Yeah

Run, run, run, run away!

Believe in Love

Otra estupenda balada de SCORPIONSque formó parte uno de sus discos más exitosos: "Savage Amusement" (1988)

How does it fell babe
To taste sweet revenge
Do you want me on my knees
How does it feel babe
to let me feel your strength
Don't be cruel, can't you see
If you don't catch me now
I can't stop falling down
Just one more night and the devil's got my soul
I need your love babe don't tell me "no way"
Babe I miss you so much more than words can say

How does it feel babe
To kill our destiny
I swear I'm not gonna crawl oh no
How does it feel babe
To make a fool out of me
How can you be so cold
If you don't catch me now
I can't stop falling down
Just one more night and the devil's got my soul
I need your love babe don't treat me this way
Ooh I miss you, I miss you

Baby our love's got what it takes
To give us one more chance to start once again
Baby our love will find a way
As long as we believe in love.

A tale that wasn´t right

Una preciosa balada de HELLOWEEN, que os pongo de su gira "Live in Koln" (1992). Con pequeña broma de su vocalista, Michael Kiske incluída.

Esta balada pertenece a su famoso trabajo "Keeper of the Seven Keys I" (1987).

Here I stand all alone
Have my mind turned to stone
Have my heart filled up with ice
to avoid it´s breakin´ twice

Thank to you, my dear old friend
But you can´t help, this is the end
Of a tale that wasn´t right
I won´t have no sleep tonight

[Chorus]
In my heart, in my soul
I really hate to pay this toll
Should be strong, young and bold
But the only thing I feel is pain

It´s alright, we´ll stay friends
Trustin´ in my confidence
And let´s say it´s just alright
You won´t sleep alone tonight

[Chorus]

[Solo]

With my heart, with my soul
Some guys cry you bought and sold
They´ve been strong, young and bold
And they say, play this song again

[Chorus]

[Solo]

Love is a Killer

VIXEN, grupo de hard-rock integrado por féminas, nos dejó baladas como estas en los ochenta:

Only a fool believes it's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
So I don't wanna take that fall, it's a
long, long, long way down
I'm hurt, love struck me down again,
enticed me in and pulled the pin
Blew my tender heart sky high
Now in my pain, I'm asking why as I'm crying
Should I give it my last try or say goodbye
Chorus:
Love is a killer, a homicidal fiend
Love is a killer, it'll be the death of me
I got a target on my back for a cupid dressed in black
[Más Letras en http://es.mp3lyrics.org/T4O6]
Love is a killer, it's killing me
Love, so sweetly beckoning I've seen
your face, called your name
I tasted tears you cried
Lived in shadows in my mind, frozen here in
time, don't leave me here to die
chorus
(Solo)
You fascinate and yet frustrate, demand so much of me, yeah
I've had enough, it's tearing me up inside
Cross my heart, hope to survive
You got a smoking gun, well don't shoot me love, no!
You're a - chorus
Love is a killer, no, love is a killer, no no
I got a target on my back for a cupid dressed in black
Love is a killer, it's killing me
