Stryper - Peace of Mind

Stryper's cover of "Peace of Mind" by Boston featuring Tom Scholz.



lyrics

------------------------------------------------------------

Now if you're feelin' kinda low 'bout the dues you've been paying
Future's coming much too slow
And you wanna run but somehow you just keep on stayin'
Can't decide on which way to go
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People livin' in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.

Now you're climbin' to the top of the company ladder
Hope it doesn't take too long
Can'tcha you see there'll come a day when it won't matter
Come a day when you'll be gone

I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People li vin' in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.

Take a look ahead, take a look ahead,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

Now everybody's got advice they just keep on givin'
Doesn't mean too much to me
Lot's of people out to make-believe they're livin'
Can't decide who they should be.

I understand about indecision
But I don't care if I get behind
People li vin' in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.

Take a look ahead, take a look ahead. Look ahead.

i really love this cover

is it true that michael sweet is also in boston now ?

[BostonWalksOn]

@44matspas

yes, Michael Sweet and Tommy DeCarlo trade off lead vocals

[vampoxxx]

I love Stryper, but Boston version is 1000 times better

[BostonWalksOn]

I think both versions are equally great in their own way. For me, it just depends on what mood I'm in.

[bluesbred3]

Micheal Sweet, I'm sorry for your loss. I stand by Stryper and your belief, but don't tweak a classic.

[BostonWalksOn]

This song is actually on the new album, and Tom Scholz plays it with them.

[AshNSyderrz1]

cmon man give styper some credit they did an amazing job with this song!

[omgyes1235]

Great cover!!!!!

[MDC01FLY]

Boston fans should be thankful the world had a Michael Sweet for the position. I think this version is pretty good.

[ZYVZX]

Boston is/was a 1000x times better and more talented than Stryper will ever be!

[80smetalking3]

awsome cover... boston fans will like it less... stryper fans will like it more... the drums are the biggest difference. i like both bands equally now i have a heavier version of this song to jam out to!!!! still LOVE the original that first album hit in 75 and the production sounded like 89 or 90 !!! boston was 15 years ahead of there time. is it boston... no but it is a damn good version in my opinion

[meljpetra]

Well ~ Done ! <:

@j0shred1

He played ALL of the instruments on the first album.

[Rickmeister3030]

After haveing listed to this crap all the way through with the HORRIBLE drumming especially on the verses, they didn't even play the best part of the song at the end!!! Totally embarrasing!!  You have 2 guitar players in the band and supposedly Tom on this trac and then YOU DON'T PLAY THE 3 PART HARMONY AT THE END!!!

[StephenHardyMusic]

@BostonWalksOn Bluesbred3 is right. Tom does play with them, and it's not TERRIBLE, but he does tweak it unnecessarily. Tom, in my opinion, was guilty of "tweaking" the classic Boston by turning classic rock into rocket science

[StephenHardyMusic]

O just can't stand the verses. The drums are hard to stomach. But the rest is pretty cool
