BON JOVI - BLAZE OF GLORY
Between 1990 and 1992, the band members went their separate ways for a while to refocus before writing and recording their next album. This time off also helped them determine where Bon Jovi would fit within the rapidly changing music scene upon their return. Jon Bon Jovi recorded a solo album, a soundtrack to the movie "Young Guns II" (in which he also appeared for less than a second), more commonly known as Blaze of Glory. Released in 1990, the album featured high profile guests such as: Elton John, Aldo Nova, Little Richard, and Jeff Beck, among others. The album fared well commercially and received very positive reviews and quickly achieved platinum status. The title track, "Blaze of Glory", hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned Jon an Academy Award nomination for Best Song, but he did not win the award. That same year, however, "Blaze of Glory" was awarded a Golden Globe.
They won their first Grammy in 2007 for "Best Country Collaboration" for "Who Says You Can't Go Home". Bon Jovi had previously been nominated for two other Grammy Awards, both for their 2000 smash hit It's My Life.
Bon Jovi has sold more than 35 million albums in the United States, and over 120 million albums worldwide, and has played live concerts in major cities in Asia, Europe, Australia, Canada, South Africa, and South America, in addition to a large number of cities in the U.S.

Bon Jovi
I wake up in the morning
And I raise my weary head
I've got an old coat for a pillow
And the earth was last night's bed
I don't know where I'm going
Only God knows where I've been
I'm a devil on the run
A six gun lover
A candle in the wind
When you're brought into this world
They say you're born in sin
Well at least they gave me something
I didn't have to steal or have to win
Well they tell me that I'm wanted
Yeah, I'm a wanted man
I'm a colt in your stable
I'm what Cain was to Abel
Mister catch me if you can
Chorus:
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
You ask about my conscience
And I offer you my soul
You ask if I'll grow to be a wise man
Well I ask if I'll grow old
You ask me if I've known love
And what it's like to sing songs in the rain
Well, I've seen love come
And I've seen it shot down
I've seen it die in vain
Chorus:
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
'Cause I'm going down in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
I'm the devil's son
Call me young gun
Solo
Each night I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No I ain't looking for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
Lord, I got to ask a favor
And hope you'll understand
'Cause I've lived life to the fullest
Let this boy die like a man
Staring down a bullet
Let me make my final stand
Chorus:
Shot down in a blaze of glory
Take me now but know the truth
I'm going out in a blaze of glory
Lord I never drew first
But I drew first blood
And I'm no one's son
Call me young gun
I'm a young gun
THE WONDERS - THAT THING YOU DO!
That Thing You Do! is a 1996 film, written and directed by Tom Hanks. The movie tells the story of a fictional one-hit wonder rock band from Erie, Pennsylvania
The film shows the rise of the band to near fame on the heels of the British Invasion in the mid 1960s, from local clubs and dances, to a major national tour and a record contract.
The band is called The Oneders (pronounced "wonders", the name combining "one" and "wonder"), but because almost everyone mistakenly pronounces it "Oh-nee-ders", they eventually change it to "The Wonders".

Originally by The Wonders (A New Found Glory)
You, doing that thing you do
Breaking my heart into a million pieces, like you always do
And you, don't mean to be cruel
You never even knew about the heartache
I've been going through
Well, I try and try to forget you girl
But it's just so hard to do
Every time you do that thing you do
And I, know all the games you play
And I'm gonna find a way to let you know that
You'll be mine someday
'Cause we, could be happy, can't you see
If you'd only let me be the one to hold you,
And keep you here with me
'Cause I try and try to forget you girl
But it's just so hard to do
Every time you do that thing you do
I don't ask a lot girl but I know one thing's for sure
It's the love I haven't got girl
And I just can't take it anymore (whoa!)
'Cause we, could be happy, can't you see
If you'd only let me be the one to hold you,
And keep you here with me
'Cause it hurts me so just to see you go
Around with someone new
And if I know you, you're doing that thing
Every day, just doing that thing
I can't take you doing that thing you do

Read more in SpanishAndrea's album likely delayedBy Daniel Lindberg - 23rd August 2006
Due to total lack of official news from the record company about Andrea's upcoming solo debut, currently going under the name "Present", it is fair to suspect that the album is being delayed and not released this autumn after all.
According to the head of press at RNP, the out of house press group for Andrea at Atlantic UK, the album is not on his schedule for the rest of the year. According to him it is therefore likely being released in beginning of next year.
This information is further supported by the media company Stylorouge who is in charge of the EPK (Electronic Press Kit), and claim that they still have not recieved any deadline or release date from Atlantic.
Dreams
The Corrs
Now here you go again, you say you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
CHORUS:
Yeah, thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Yeah, women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean you'll know, you'll know
Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
Well, it's only me that wants to wrap around your dreams and
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell
Dreams of loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad (drives you mad)
In the stillness of remembering what you had
(Drives you mad) and what you lost (remember what you had)
Thunder only happens when it's raining
(Thunder only happens when it's)
Players only love you when they're playing
(Players only love you when they're)
Yeah, women they will come and they will go (they will go)
When the rain washes you clean you'll know, oh oh
Yeah, thunder only happens when it's raining
(Thunder only happens when it's)
And players only love you when they're playing
(Players only love you when they're)
Yeah, women they will come and they will go (they will go)
When the rain washes you clean you'll know
You'll know (the heartbeat drives you mad) you'll know
(remember what you had) (the heartbeat drives you mad) you'll know
You'll know
