Songs & Stories - Bryan Adams

"Here is a song that was written as the end title for the film "The Guardian" (2006) about the US Coast Guard.

Since the release of the film, I've received letters from people in other areas of public service, the armed forces, police, firemen, ex-marines, retired coast guard and navy personel, family of people stationed overseas, wives of servicemen...all kinds or people that have felt some sort of affinity to the lyrics. It's written based on the idea of someone being able to sacrifice everything, to throw caution to the wind, all for someone else and expect nothing in return."
~ Bryan


Bryan Adams


Never let go


Can you lay your life down so a stranger can live
Can you take what you need, but take less than you give
Could you close every day without the glory and fame
Could you hold you head high when no one knows your name
That's how legends are made - at least that's what they say

We say goodbye - but never let go
We live we die - cuz you can't save every soul
Gotta take every chance to Show that you're the kinda of man who
Will never look back - never look down
And never let go

Can you lose everything you ever had planned
Can you sit down again and play another hand
Could you risk everything for the chance of being alone
Under pressure find the grace - or would you come undone
That's how legends are made - at least that's what they say

Bryan's bio

"With his distinctive vocals and blue-collar songwriting skills, Canadian icon Bryan Adams' take on rock 'n' roll basics found a niche that has lasted for over 20 years.

Adams solo career was launched with the release of his self-titled debut album Bryan Adams in February of 1980 on A&M Records. Adams had already been touring, recording demos and working as a studio musician paying his rent for a few years, but it was when Adams formed a song-writing partnership with drummer Jim Vallance that things started to happen.

The first album was not initially released in the U.S. (although "Hiding from Love" was issued as a single and reached No. 43 on the dance chart), so Adams assembled a backup band and embarked on his first Canadian tour as a solo act, spending four months playing clubs and colleges.

The tour was to be the foundation for his second album, You Want It, You Got It, which was recorded in NYC in two weeks and released in the spring of 1981. The original album title was Bryan Adams Hasn't Heard Of You Either but that title was rejected by A&M as being too provocative. This 2nd album became Adams' first 'official' release in the U.S."
