“You talk about things and nobody cares
You’re wearing other things that nobody wears
You’re calling my name but you gotta make clear
I can’t say baby where I’ll be in a year “

What’s there to really tell about Sweet Emotion. Another classic Aerosmith hit about groupies and living the rock star, love on the run lifestyle. Lyrics after the fold.

We all know how cover songs can go from a classic original to a badly butchered peice of rotten meat real quick, right?

You’re the reason I die
You’re the reason I give
When I break down and cry
Don’t need no reason why”

Aerosmith – Angel~

The beginning of a weeks worth of Daily Aerosmith Doses Begins today! Of all the great power ballads that Aerosmith has come out with, Angel has hands down got to be my favorite. From the explosive way it starts to the chorus, everything about this song screams classic 80’s power ballad at it’s best. Since Permanent Vacation, the album that Angel is off of, Aerosmith have seemed to find a niche that works by putting at least one …read more
