I think you are right to be skeptical, Bryan Adams. Why is this? Does the fault lie with his songwriting partner, Jim Vallance? Does Bryan Adams write like some seriously introspective and literate and lyrical shit and then Vallance tears it up and says, "Fuck this, Adams! Give the people what they want! The people want insipid tripe that's been written, recorded, released, chewed up, swallowed and regurgitated by musicians ten million times since the dawn of time when Neanderthal man got his first real six-string at the five and dime!" Then Adams always gives in because Jim Vallance is fourteen feet tall, weighs 525 pounds, and eats the bones of failed songwriters for breakfast.Īnyhow, that's my working theory on how we ended up with these lyrics here.īaby you’re all that I want / When you’re lying here in my arms / I’m finding it hard to believe / We’re in heaven and yet, and yet, he writes some of the cheesiest songs ever. He's Canadian, speaks Portuguese, has a charitable foundation that probably does some pretty good work, took those cool photographs on his Web site. You know, Bryan Adams seems like kind of a cool guy. Now nothing can take you away from me / We’ve been down that road before / But that’s over now / You keep me coming back for more Of course, this is completely unrelated to the content of the song, which is about a guy who really really likes a girl and everything is totally awesome and nothing can ever tear them apart (not anymore, at least, everything is totally cool now and all that bad stuff is totally in the past) and they will be together forever until the end of time.
I think it's some kind of commentary on the unique solitude of a rock star, and how it's possible for one to be surrounded by people and yet still completely alone. So, I was more than a little tickled to find this aside on the Wikipedia page for this song: "While writing 'Heaven', Adams and Vallance were influenced by Journey's music and lyrical style, particular their song 'Faithfully.'" This proves, unequivocally, once and for all, that I am a genius.Īlso, this video is almost like David Lynch-ian, with Bryan Adams alone in a theater with about a thousand TVs. You know, when I listen to the opening guitar riffs of this song, I always expect Steve Perry to bust in and sing "Highway run / Into the midnight sun." It never happens, but still. Oh - thinking about all our younger years / There was only you and me / We were young and wild and free I like the Morrissey ones.Īlso! Bryan Adams wrote some bad lyrics once. On this Web site are some photographs Bryan Adams has taken of famous people. Firstly, Bryan Adams has a Web site that is in my opinion quite well designed and well maintained.
