Last Song: “How Can I Fall” by Breathe
When all faith is gone, I fight myself to carry on
Yet I know of the harm I do, what more can I say to you
Can you name the artist and song:
When all faith is gone, I fight myself to carry on
Yet I know of the harm I do, what more can I say to you
Last Song: “Alone” by Heart
You don’t know how long I have wanted
to touch your lips and hold you tight
You don’t know how long I have waited
I love this acoustic version:

Canadian group, Sheriff released their self-titled debut (and only) album in 1982. “When I’m with You” was released off of the album, and made the top 10 in Canada in 1983, and only reached #61 in the U.S. The album was very good, including some very good songs like “You Remind Me” and “California“. However, the band broke up in 1985 before they could release another album.
Then in 1988, a disc jockey in Las Vegas began playing “When I’m with You”, and other stations followed.
This encouraged Capitol Records to re-release the song as a single. On February 4, 1989, “When I’m with You” hit number one in the United States. They were able to do it without releasing a music video!
This prompted Sheriff lead singer Freddy Curci and guitarist Steve DeMarchi to try to reform the band. But Lanni and Hassel declined, and continued to work with Frozen Ghost until they split up in 1993. However, Curci and DeMarchi started a new group called Alias.
Alias had a successful 1990 debut album scoring hits with the power ballad “More Than Words Can Say” (#2), as well as “Waiting For Love” (#13) and “Haunted Heart” (#18 on Mainstream Rock Charts). They also recorded the song “Perfect World” for the Christina Applegate film, Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead.
Then, like most of our favorite ’80s rock bands, Alias faded away when Nirvana and the rest of the grunge movement took over rock music in the ’90s.
So, let’s Return to the good ole ’80s, hold up our lighters, and listen to Freddy Curci’s soaring vocals in Sheriff’s smash hit, “When I’m with You”.

Before the Kardashians, there was another television show about a female robot manufactured by a parent.
Small Wonder was a sitcom that ran from September 7, 1985 to May 20, 1989. It was about a robotics engineer who, after he secretly creates a robot modeled after a real human girl, tries to pass it off as their daughter.
V.I.C.I. (“Voice Input Child Identicant” or Vickie) was an android in the form of a 10-year-old girl, built by Ted Lawson. She had superhuman strength and speed. The Lawson family tried to keep the robot’s existence a secret, but their annoying neighbors, the Brindles, would pop upat the most unexpected moments — especially nosy next-door neighbor Harriet who’s dad just happens to be Ted Lawson’s co-worker.
Here is the opening theme of the show:

The concert on 27 July will coincide with the Olympics opening ceremony, which will be broadcast on big screens in the park between performances.
“Performing to so many people on the most exciting day in sport for Great Britain will be one of the highlights of the last decade for us,” said Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon.
“We have been invited to represent England for this Team GB show, and we couldn’t be more proud. Seeing the torch being lit on the big screens before hitting the stage in this iconic location will be a great experience… We simply can’t wait.”
Snow Patrol’s Jonny Quinn said: “Living in London and everything, with all the excitement, it’s certainly an honour to be part of it. I think it will be very special.”
Tickets for the opening ceremony celebration concert show go on sale on 4 May at 09:00BST.
At the same time, Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets, east London will broadcast the opening ceremony free to the public on two giant screens.

The winds of change are always blowing and everytime I tried to stay
The winds of change continued blowing and they just carried me away
