 На своем третьем альбоме швейцарские хард-рокеры ни на йоту не отступают от той формулы, которая принесла им успех – мелодичный, но очень энергичный и драйвовый материал в лучших традициях земляков из Gotthard. Разве что, в соответствии с названием альбома, звук гитары стал чуть более мощным, да из текстов куда-то испарился практически весь юмор, оставив вместо себя легкую грусть (“Out In The Rain”, “A Dollar Too Much”). В остальном же все осталось точно так же, как и на предыдущих дисках “Shakra” (1997) и “Moving Force” (1999), что, в принципе, совсем не плохо, ведь помимо стилистики, Shakra переняли у старших товарищей из Gotthard и умение сочинять запоминающиеся припевы и роскошные мелодии. Хватает их и на этом диске – “Why Don’t You Call Me”, “The Sun Will Shine”, “Get It All Out”, “Out In The Rain”, да и почти все остальные песни. Слабого материала здесь нет, и диск наверняка доставит вам массу удовольствия, если только вам удастся закрыть глаза на то, что группа не только напропалую использует чужие идеи, но и совсем не развивается. Хотя, как говорят американцы, «зачем чинить то, что и так работает?» (Диск предоставлен компанией CD-Maximum) |

Even when I'm dreaming
- Cause I miss you so
WHY DON'T YOU CALL ME
DON'T YOU REMEMBER WHAT WE SHARED
WHY DON'T YOU CALL ME
I NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU STILL CARE
Wandering through these empty rooms
Empty like my heart
I feel like lost in space and time
It's tearing me apart
Day and night I wonder why
The magic didn't last
Love is gone and left me here
With shadows of the past
I can hear your laughter
- Everywhere I go
Even when I'm dreaming
- Cause I miss you so
WHY DON'T YOU CALL ME
DON'T YOU REMEMBER WHAT WE SHARED
WHY DON'T YOU CALL ME
I NEED TO KNOW THAT YOU STILL CARE
3. Watching You
Don't start a fire - And walk away
Only for the thrill of looking at the flames
Don't fake desire - And turn away
Only for the fun of playing fancy games
You know by now that hearts can break
And that's much more than I can take
Just be aware
I'LL KEEP AN EYE ON YOU
I'LL KEEP AN EYE ON YOU
Don't play the music - If you don't dance
There is more to love than just a brief romance
Don't place an order - If you don't pay
Whisper words of love when you just wanna play
You know by now that hearts can break
And that's much more than I can take
Just be aware
I'LL KEEP AN EYE ON YOU
I'LL KEEP AN EYE ON YOU
I'M WATCHING YOU NOW
4. The Sun Will Shine
Out there in the distance
I hear some children cry
I'm feeling free and easy
Like an eagle in the sky
I really can't believe it
What's going on tonight
But since I felt your heartbeat
There's nothing but delight
Baby's eyes are looking 'round
Crying new melodies
With hands so soft
Conducting symphonies
A PART OF ME - A PART OF YOU
IN YOUR EYES I SEE THE TRUTH
WE NEED CHILDREN TO SURVIVE
A PART OF ME - A PART OF YOU
IN YOUR EYES I SEE THE TRUTH
FOREVER YOU'LL BE MINE
AND THE SUN WILL SHINE
When I hold you close to me
I look into your eyes
Crying turns to laughter
And into paradise
There's magic in this full moon night
I can't believe it's true
I look into the starry sky
Knowing what to do
Baby's eyes are looking 'round...
A PART OF ME - A PART OF YOU
5. Out In The Rain
Night after night I've been losing sleep
Lying awake in the dark
How come a heartache can cut so deep
Tearing my whole world apart
Whatever I do, wherever I go
I can't run from the demons inside
WHEN THE PARTY IS OVER I'M OUT IN THE RAIN
WITH A HANDFUL OF DREAMS AND A WHOLE LOT OF PAIN
ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING SOMEWHERE IN VAIN
AND THE MEMORIES OF LOVE ARE HAUNTING ME AGAIN
Where is the light that will guide my way
Leading me home through the night
Where is the star that will shine on me
Gentle and friendly and bright
Whatever I do, wherever I go
I can't run from the shadows inside
WHEN THE PARTY IS OVER I'M OUT IN THE RAIN
WITH A HANDFUL OF DREAMS AND A WHOLE LOT OF PAIN
ALWAYS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING SOMEWHERE IN VAIN
AND THE MEMORIES OF LOVE ARE HAUNTING ME AGAIN
Whatever I do, wherever I go
That ol' feeling will always be there
So I just carry on - turn my face to the sun
Till I find myself again in the rain
Out in the rain again
When the party is over I'm out in the rain
With a handful of dreams and a whole lot of pain
Always looking for something somewhere in vain
And the memories of love are haunting me again
6. In Your Eyes
You're standing there on the borderline
You're looking for the way
Trying to find your mystic island
Where is the place to stay?
Cause when you look, you will realize
This life is all you've got
You must fight for freedom
Deep inside your heart
Careless whispers - And hopeless dreams
I cannot believe - What it really means
IN YOUR EYES
THERE'S NO MAGIC DEEP INSIDE
IN YOUR SMILE
THERE WAS LAUGHTER FOR A WHILE
You're looking back to the life you've had
You try to hold your dreams
Where's the way back to your paradise?
Is it what it seems?
But you must learn to accept your life
With all the different signs
Then you will get your real magic back
Somewhere between the lines
Careless whispers - And hopeless dreams
I cannot believe - What it really means
IN YOUR EYES...
Enjoy your private memories
But open up your mind
You must live your life today
And leave the past behind
IN YOUR EYES...
7. Get It All Out
You try to make me angry
You know I've gone all cold inside
You try to make me see red
But all my feelings for you are long dead
You try to hang on to me
And make me love you again
You try so hard to move me
You just can't see I'm in pain
And I go
GET IT ALL OUT BEFORE IT CHOKES YOU
YOU CAN SCREAM ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
GET IT ALL OUT BEFORE IT BREAKS YOU
YOU CAN WHISPER OR YOU SHOUT
JUST GET IT ALL OUT
You tell me that you need me
You just can't face that you walk alone
I've told you once it's over
And you just keep hanging on the phone
You cannot make me love you
With every time that you cry
You cannot make me want you
With every time that you die
GET IT ALL OUT BEFORE IT CHOKES YOU
YOU CAN SCREAM ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
GET IT ALL OUT BEFORE IT BREAKS YOU
YOU CAN WHISPER OR YOU SHOUT
JUST GET IT ALL OUT
You know I do still love you
And you don't want me no more
I thought our love was magic
I want you for evermore
And I cry - Let it all out - Yeah
Let it all out - We can make it
LET IT ALL OUT BEFORE IT CHOKES ME
LETS BE LOVERS IN THE NIGHT
LET IT ALL OUT BEFORE I FAKE IT
LETS BE LOVERS IN THE NIGHT
LET IT ALL OUT - LET IT ALL OUT
LETS BE LOVERS IN THE NIGHT
LET IT ALL OUT - LET IT ALL OUT
CUZ WE'RE LOVERS AGAIN TONIGHT
LET IT ALL OUT
8. A Dollar Too Much
Every night she's out there
Behind the traffic light
Looking like an angel
I wanna be her knight
And I feel the passion - Like only lovers do
"Could it be that I'm blind" I ask myself
"Our time runs out so fast"
COULD IT BE THAT LOVE'S WAITING FOR ME?
HOW MUCH MONEY COSTS YOUR THERAPY?
Oh, let me kiss your body
Let me taste your sweat
Forget the world around us
We'll take the time we get
20 Minutes later - Back on the streets again
Feel the wet, cold rain of emptiness
Come wash my sins away
COULD IT BE THAT LOVE'S WAITING FOR ME?
I stare at my reflection
In a broken pane
The loneliness around me
Holds me prisoner again
My heart beats like a bass drum or even like a Snare
Could it be that her love isn't always true?
Oh Baby, I get up to you
COULD IT BE THAT LOVE'S WAITING FOR ME?
9. She's My Pride
I am the shadow
And she is the light
Shining right down on me
I'm the thunder
And she is the rain
No place I'd rather be
They call her Dirty Mary
She is my delight
Cause she knows how to carry
Me throughout the night
Into the light
SHE'S MY PRIDE
THERE AIN'T NO NEED TO HIDE
SHE'S MY SUN
AND SHE'S THE ONLY ONE
I'm the carina
And she is my sail
Always brings me ashore
I'm the mountain
And she is my peak
I'm not asking for more
I love my Dirty Mary
She is my delight
Cause she knows how to carry
Me throughout the night
Into the light
SHE'S MY PRIDE
THERE AIN'T NO NEED TO HIDE
SHE'S MY SUN
AND SHE'S THE ONLY ONE
10. Tell Me
Another lie - You've gone too far
You're the queen of broken hearts
Now look at me - How does it feel
To see a man who's hurt so deep
TELL ME BABY, TELL ME
CAN YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT
TELL ME BABY, TELL ME
AFTER ALL YOUR LIES
YOU GOTTA PAY THE PRICE
Another night - And you're not there
A lonely man - An empty bed
Playing games ain't no crime
As long as there's no heart on fire
TELL ME BABY, TELL ME
CAN YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT
TELL ME BABY, TELL ME
AFTER ALL YOUR LIES
YOU GOTTA PAY THE PRICE
You were all I ever had
You are all I need
Girl I love you, I hate you
What have you done to me
TELL ME BABY, TELL ME
CAN YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT
TELL ME BABY, TELL ME
AFTER ALL YOUR LIES
YOU GOTTA PAY THE PRICE
11. The Way Back Home
I believe that fallen angels
Are calling me tonight
A lot of pictures, many stories
Battling deep inside
I don't know what easy living means
And I don't know what is true
I hope I'll find the right sign
For my way back home to you
TONIGHT I WANNA BE FREE
LIVING IN MY WORLD OF FANTASY
TONIGHT I WANNA BE FREE
I HOPE I'LL FIND THE WAY BACK HOME TO ME
Whispering voices, different words
Running through my brain
Slowly like an early morning
You call me back again
I know what real life can offer
On my woven path tonight
One step before the door is shut
I find a way back to your light
TONIGHT I WANNA BE FREE
I know what real life can offer
On my woven path tonight
One step before the door is shut
I find a way back to your light
TONIGHT I WANNA BE FREE
12. Too Close
You drive a fancy car
Dress up like a gigolo
You live life on the edge
Always in for more
Looking for fun
Out on the run
TOO CLOSE TO THE LINE OF FIRE
SMALL BIRD ON A HIGH SKY WIRE
TOO CLOSE TO THE LINE OF FIRE
TOO CLOSE - BUT YOU JUST DON'T GIVE A DAMN
You pose with pretty girls
Never even know their names
You're laughing far too loud
Driving much too fast
Night is always young
And tomorrow won't come
TOO CLOSE TO THE LINE OF FIRE
SMALL BIRD ON A HIGH SKY WIRE
TOO CLOSE TO THE LINE OF FIRE
TOO CLOSE - BUT YOU JUST DON'T GIVE A DAMN
13. Take My Hand
Days and weeks and years go by
You're still the last in line
It's time to make your final choice
And leave your past behind
Tell me what you're waiting for
You're only wasting time
Have you ever seen the other side
TAKE MY HAND
WE WILL FIND A NEW TOMORROW
TAKE MY HAND
IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO GO
Keep it all inside your heart
What I told you late last night
All your life is in your hands
Whatever you decide
Tell me what you're waiting for
You're only wasting time
I'll tell you what is on the other side
TAKE MY HAND
WE WILL FIND A NEW TOMORROW
TAKE MY HAND
IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO GO
Open your eyes - We're leaving the night
And Heaven is calling your name
Soon we'll be there - Don't be afraid
I'll be there for you 'til the end
TAKE MY HAND
WE WILL FIND A NEW TOMORROW
TAKE MY HAND
IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO GO
