Yes please thanks! I'm terribly tired too.

Thanks for the links guys. Maybe the second version of Lighthouse sounded better with more of the band playing.

From Richie's official Facebook page:

“LIGHTHOUSE” is a brand new song written by RICHIE SAMBORA specifically to be performed at the MAY 27, 2014 “Can We Talk… Are You Listening” Drug Awareness Forum at the Pine Belt Arena in Tom’s River, New Jersey.

RICHIE began conceptualizing the song a while back but even up until the last moments (during soundcheck) he was still changing lyrics… this is a newborn song. RICHIE performed it last night live for the audience for the very first time and was backed by the Manchester High School Chorus.

RICHIE plans to record the song in a proper studio setting ASAP and get up in iTunes.

Once there’s more information and details, we’ll share it with you here.

In the meantime, following are the LYRICS to LIGHTHOUSE


WHEN YOU’RE BLINDED, CONFUSED

BLUE SKIES SEEM PAINTED GREY

YOU CAN’T HEAR THE WHISPER

WHEN AN ANGEL CALLS YOUR NAME



YOU’RE STRUNG OUT COLD

WHILE YOU FIGHT YOUR PERSONAL WAR

ONCE UPON A TIME PEER PRESSURE CROSSED A LINE

OUR KIDS AIN’T NEEDING NEEDLES ANYMORE



CHORUS:

THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE, THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE

THROUGH THE FOG AND THE DARK

WE CAN BRAVE OUR HEAVY LOAD

THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE, THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE

FIND A BEACON OF HOPE

‘TIL WE WALK DOWN FREEDOM’S ROAD



I KNOW IT’S HARD TO IMAGINE

THAT TOMORROW TURNS BRIGHT

BUT YOU’RE HEADING FOR SAFE HARBOUR

AND SERENITY’S IN SIGHT



WHO JUDGE DON’T MATTER

THOSE WHO MATTER DON’T JUDGE

YOU’RE SWIMMING WITH THE TIDE

IN THE WAKE OF THE FLOOD



CHORUS:

THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE, THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE

THROUGH THE FOG AND THE DARK

WE CAN BRAVE OUR HEAVY LOAD

THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE, THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE

FIND A BEACON OF HOPE

‘TIL WE WALK DOWN FREEDOM’S ROAD



- SOLO-



WE ALL HAVE BROKEN PIECES

BLEEDING INSIDE

THEY OBLITERATE OUR CONFIDENCE

AND POISON OUR PRIDE



YOU DRIFTED FAR FROM THE SHORE

LIVIN’ DARK DAYS ALONE

THERE’S A BEACON OF HOPE

THAT WILL LEAD YOU HOME

THERE’S A BEACON OF LOVE

THAT WILL GUIDE YOU HOME



CHORUS:

THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE, THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE

THROUGH THE FOG AND THE DARK

WE CAN BRAVE OUR HEAVY LOAD

THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE, THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE

FIND A BEACON OF HOPE

‘TIL WE WALK DOWN FREEDOM’S ROAD

THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE, THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE

IF YOU JUST TAKE MY HAND I WILL STAND WITH YOU

THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE, THERE’S A LIGHTHOUSE

THERE’S NO TELLING WHAT TRUE LOVE CAN DO

"Quite frankly, I didn't think the record was ready."

Hmmmmm

then he is a liar,because during past interviews he told the opposite

It might be a slow song and slightly just above average at best, but still in comparison much better than anything off WAN.

Both like stepping in dog shit for me, you still have to clean your shoes

Hint: when you've just released an album and do shows and interviews to promote it you can't say it sucks even though you think it does or else nobody will buy it! :wink:
