My dad is best friends with everyone from the band, I get nagging him for a re-union concert!

[medicslanec]

I would LOVE a reunion concert!!!!!!!! These guys are incredible!!!

[MrMarbles048]

Great tune! I remember this getting a LOT of play time on the WRIF. Always thought these guys were going to be the next big thing. Not sure what happened??? They were great!!! It's sad what the radio is playing these days. Just a bunch of no talent noise.

[sndrpopp]

[oztoaz]

This is one of my very all-time favorite songs! I wish I could get a handle on an MP3 of this song---LOVE it! Brings back so many awesome memories!

[usamitch]

me too grew up in windsor, hit florida when snow sucked. this song always reminds me of college man!

[wulfgang66]

Kicking song - I remember these guys rockin' the Detroit scene.

For great justice:

Was it Bitter Sweet Alley that sang "The Girl with the Far Away Eyes"? I have been to the ends of the earth to find out and have precisely zip for the effort.

Any Motor City rockers remember that one?

Damn, song still sounds good in 2009!

[smokiehp]

It was Adrenalin that did Faraway Eyes....check out Road of the Gypsy on You tube...that was the group...If you go to Itunes you can download Faraway Eyes

[wulfgang66]

Dude, thanks much - D/L'ing as I type this.

Just passing this along - Napster has a free week if you sign up right now. After years of raping and pillaging on the P2P networks I'm going legit.

For exactly 7 days.

'The wax on the candle melts like tears..."

[bpastoria]

No BSA did not sing that song...Adrenalin was the band and it was on their American Heart album. You can get it at itunes or CD Baby. Hope you feel better now!

[wulfgang66]

Got it on Napster. The song just literally kicks ass!

I put the stereo on 11 for it and it has now rang thru the hills of Blair, NE on the banks of the Missouri River.

Thanks man.

[shelibeli40]

omg..I was soooooo in love with Joey. Spent so many weekends in my early 20's following these guys around town...such great memories!!

[cocheese420]

Rock n roll. Thanks for the song and video.

[Alwayzgruvin]

I remember these guys at Augies on John R....wow,what fun that was,where is everybody now?

[sshevin]

The best shoot day of my career. I can remember the Pastoria's mom serving pasta and cannolis on set at the abandoned Grand Circus theater.... and Cholly Atkins! WOW! The A & R gut was an idiot... oh well. DC Drive is the best. Rock 'n roll will never die! Thanks, Brian!
