i love how all the influence of each musicians' respective bands came out so masterfully in this super groups' music !..Asia is fine prog rock blended with catchy choruses so cleverly done..you can hear subtle Yes, ELP, nuances..fantastic !
Great music like this doesn't just happen! But just what did happen? We Fell Asleep!! and when we awoke all our beloved rock musicians were replaced by pop entertainers and new country. So sad.
This is a true account my Seal Team during gulf war one before engaging the cheese dicks we would play this song all night long ....big speakers and it would ring across the desert night...We later learned many abandoned there out post over this song...and the others were scared shitless when they heard us coming...thanks Asia!! God Bless Ricky and Chris Team 6 forever!
After a hard week at work; aren't they all, it's good to listen to this powerful song. The instrumentation drives and the lyrics are so heroic. This is bliss.
This progressive song rocks! The keyboards and guitar mix so well together, and the rhythm (sp?) section drives quite nicely. Quite right 70s man 100 there is nothing like this today...sadly. This is a thinking man's music.
@dwayne0t Seriously?!?!?!?! why would that have like that it should have the thing on it so you actually understand it .... or like just write it out like for different reasons lol <3
i run to this song and visualize me as the only person alive after a nuke attack-wierd but it works for my endorphins

Asia were one of the finest supergroups in the history of rock and Sole Survivor is to rank among their top 5 songs!

This was back when rock ruled and pop music was made for MEN, not teenage girls.
Nothing like this would ever be in today's top 40, whatever the hell musicianless crap is in it now.
