Any fans? I've had this song in my mind on repeat so I looked up the lyrics this morning. How beautiful these are.She's a Cap I think~ We Belong We belong, we belong to the light Many times Ive tried to tell you Many times Ive cried alone Always Im surprised how well you Cut my feelings to the bone Dont want to leave you really Ive invested too much time To give you up that easy To the doubts that complicate your mind Chorus: We belong to the light We belong to the thunder We belong to the sound of the words Weve both fallen under Whatever we deny or embrace For worse or for better We belong, we belong We belong together Maybe its a sign of weakness When I dont know what to say Maybe I just wouldnt know What to do with my strength anyway Have we become a habit Do we distort the facts Now theres no looking forward Now theres no turning back When you say (chorus) Close your eyes and try to sleep now Close your eyes and try to dream Clear your mind and do your best To try and wash the palette clean We cant begin to know it How much we really care I hear your voice inside me I see your face everywhere Still you say (chorus) IP: Logged |

Sue, she's a Cap with Scorp moon and Asc!!I watched her in concert recently and she hasn't missed a beat. Still stunningly beautiful and her band was super-tight. She is still married to her guitarist. 24 years!! IP: Logged |

She was recently involved in a special called "Crossroads" on CMT... She sang with Martina McBride... who is another petite powerhouse... It was great...they both sound similar... My favorite has always been "Promises in the Dark"IP: Logged |

Funny... "We Belong" has been in my head quite a bit for the last week or so, and I keep turning on the radio in the middle of the song. This is one of my faves. Beautiful!IP: Logged |

Speaking of chick rock...How about this Bonnie Tyler song: My favorite line is "I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood." "Where have all the good men gone And where are all the gods? Where’s the street-wise Hercules To fight the rising odds?
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need I need a hero I'm holding out for at hero 'till the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He’s gotta be sure And it’s gotta be soon And he’s gotta be larger than life Larger than life Doo doo doo doooo Doo doo doo doooo Doo doo doo doooo Aaahhh Aaahhh Somewhere after midnight In my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach There’s someone reaching back for me Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He’s gotta be sure And it’s gotta be soon And he’s gotta be larger than life I need a hero I'm holding out for at hero 'till the the end of the night Up where the mountains meet the heavens above Out where the lightning splits the sea I could swear there is someone somewhere Watching me Through the wind and the chill and the rain And the storm and the flood I can feel his approach Like a fire in my blood I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night He’s gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He's gotta be sure And he's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night" IP: Logged |

Yeah, I love both those songs. Funny, I just burned a cd with 80s chick rock which included Pat Benatar and some fun old songs like Joan Jett's Bad Reputation. Fun!IP: Logged |

FU, weird huh? I think random songs fall from the sky and try to tell me something. I always seem to get songs I haven't necessarily heard in a while. I;m gonna try to see Pat in concert this July. What a voice. But I never liked that "Hell is for Children" song tho. So down tempo, so negative. what's up with that? It must have a some meaning I am not privy to. IP: Logged |

Lovely, Thanks! This is my fav Pat B song. MysticMelody, WOW! brings back memories, I was a child when I heard this song for the first time and it wasn't on radio that I heard it. I was a fan of Jon-Erik Hexum and use to watch a show that he stared in, this was the theme song for it. It is weird how much it resonated with my soul, even then I was dreaming of that kind of Love. A romantic to the end! LOL ------------------ May the angel of your higher s-elf, guide you always. IP: Logged |

I always liked this one:Heartbreaker Your love is like a tidal wave, spinning over my head Drownin' me in your promises, better left unsaid You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be You're a Heartbreaker Dream Maker, Love Taker Don't you mess around with me! You're a Heartbreaker Dream Maker, Love Taker Don't you mess around - NO NO NO! Your love has set my soul on fire, burnin' out of control You taught me the ways of desire, now its takin' its toll You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be You're a Heartbreaker Dream Maker, Love Taker Don't you mess around with me! You're a Heartbreaker Dream Maker, Love Taker Don't you mess around - NO NO NO! You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy The invincible winner, and you know that you were born to be You're a Heartbreaker Dream Maker, Love Taker Don't you mess around with me! You're a Heartbreaker Dream Maker, Love Taker Don't you mess around with me! You're a Heartbreaker Dream Maker, Love Taker Don't you mess around with me! You're a Heartbreaker Dream Maker, Love Taker Heartbreaker!

Hi Charlotte I don't know who Jon Erik Hexum is but the song was on the movie Footloose back in the 80's. Recently it was remade by a different artist for the movie Shrek 2 but I don't like the new version. Bad Reputation by Joan Jett was mentioned... that one is on the Shrek soundtrack too, Shrek 2 I think. Who is Hexum? I might have to Google that if you don't see this. IP: Logged |

We never have such artists coming to India ((((sigh)))) I *lowe* her, I always thought she was in par with Joan Jett. Try listening to 'love is a battlefield' and 'hell is for children'-my personal favourite!IP: Logged |

Hi! MysticMelody, Sorry so late with my reply... The series was called Cover Up and it stared JEH and Jennifer O'Neill, it ran in the early mid 80's, unfortunately JEH was killed in a weird accident involving a gun. I was shocked when it happened, he was so young and filled with laughter and light. Here is a link http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/1744/Jon_Erik_Hexum.html
