iamsuperdan Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I know that's an early 80s rock band. Not metal. Like Boston or Journey or something. Hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Childhood's End" by Pink Floyd. It was from the "Obscured by Clouds" album in '72 and was the last song to be entirely composed by David Gilmour until after the band's break up.

StevenGuthmiller Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Here's one from one of my favorite bands from the late '70s. They completely lost me in the '80s. "You're feeling cross and wavy, on the edge of the cuff. You're pushing and popping, you can't get enough. You wish that it was over, you never slow down. You're looking for kicks, there's nothing around." Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumball Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I have a few but ill start with something easy (if you live in Canada that is) That night in Toronto With its checkerboard floors Riding on horseback And keeping order restored 'Til The Men They Couldn't Hang Stepped to the mic and sang And their voices… to me, it seems like to me that there is a lot of people outside of Canada who don't know this band, there a pretty good band although they are played to death over here.

You are correct! The song is called Runaway Train by Soul Asylum. It was pretty high up on the charts when it was released. It even topped the Canada Top Singles chart for a bit in 1993-94.

I'm curious to see if anyone gets the other two I put up. As for that last song you posted above I'd say you stumped me.
