Extreme - Rock A Bye Bye Lyrics






If you could only hear
The silent screams
When you wake them up
From their dreams
Nothing is heard
Not even a
Even a
Even a word

Rock a bye baby
On the tree top
When the bough breaks
The cradle will fall

Rock rock rock a bye baby
Rock rock rock bye bye

And if they had
Any chance at all
You still can't hear
Those voices that call
And when the bough breaks
The cradle will
Cradle will
Cradle will fall

  1. b.... ....

    R.i.p Lisa Rose Taylor 10/07/2004 born sleeping

  3. J.... L....

    I read somewhere that the end piece is called 'The Gates Of Heaven.'
    As a guitar player I remember learning this by the : 'picking up the needle and moving it back' technique.
    Yes, I have the LP.😂

  4. p.... ....

    sometimes sounds like jan cyrka...

  5. C.... B....

    The opening reminds me of ELO.

  6. a.... l....

  7. s.... ....

    Eddie cant play that

  8. J.... A....

    I was stationed in South Korea (Kwangju) in the USAF when this came out. Used to go on head trips with that guitar solo.

    J.... A....

  11. J.... L....

    Belo vídeo amor, parabéns. Emocionei aqui!

  12. G.... A....

    Guys, I managed to make the synth part of the guitar solo . Search it on you tube under the name " Extreme - Rock A Bye Bye ( Guitar Backing Track) ".

  13. S.... ....

    Such an under appreciated group. These guys are timeless

  14. B.... A....

    <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 so beautiful indeed <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  15. P.... K....

    would love if this song was available on YouTube mobile !

  16. T.... R....

    i have first two extreme CDs at home and this was first music i ever heard i was only 2 years old when my dad played me this masterpiece for the first time and i never fogot this song to this day i still love to listen to that two CDs and many other their albums but this song is truly sentimental to me it bring back memories.

  17. P.... S....

    NUNO is great!

  18. A.... J....

    No Doubt!! Sit at work everyday and most of the time skip to the solo lol

  19. R.... B....

    EPIC at 3:12

  20. A.... J....

    Can NOT stop listening to the solo...

  21. r.... g....

    These guitar solo make me cry!!! So beautyful!!!!!!!!!

  22. n.... ....

    Maybe he's a tool in God's hand to help fine tune people that are out of tune and got no clue who the Cheif Musician really is?

  23. P.... K....

    its a song that is both about abortion and abuse, no its not religous themed but neither is abortion. religion sometimes just renders the opinion. but thats whats great about music, you can transform it to mean anything you want...

  24. P.... K....

    one word....... wow!

  25. E.... T....

    semplicemente un capolavoro ...

  26. t.... ....

    @toolkills U r a racist peace of shit who wouldnt know good music if it punched u in the face

  27. s.... ....

    What does this have to do with this song? I would love to be able to come onto youtube for once and listen to a song without all the religious hyperbole.

  28. D.... ....

    story of things to come as in songs like on 3 sides...

  29. A.... T....

    Fucking love the solo.but the song is really sweet tho(:

  30. E.... N....

    @toolkills- you're indeed a tool...

  31. A.... ....

    @kevnar I had always thought of it as more of a statement against child abuse than anything else. It wouldn't bother me a bit if it was a pro-life anthem. The pro-choice crowd has a habit of painting anyone who supports life over abortion as some right-wing religious whackjob. The word "choice" implies options....in this case, life or abortion. Both sides of the debate are needed for any woman to make an informed decision when faced with having to make that choice. Glad I don't have to.....

    A.... ....

    Especially this side of the debate is needed as the other has been working very hard to suppress it, all in the name of "freedom of choice", of course.

  32. k.... ....

    @toolkills I love the mentality of the religious wars. Each demands the freedom to his own beliefs but passionately shuns opposing views, going so far as to say they should be removed from the planet. Atheists, believers, it's called FREEDOM. Nobody has a right to say someone else should not even be allowed to voice an opinion. If you don't like someone else's beliefs, debate them or ignore them. But I'd rather hear a religious rant than a social nazi trying to silence opposing views.

  33. k.... ....

    Anyone else think this is a pro-life anthem?

    k.... ....

    kevnar it is. Gary Cherone is very vocal about his pro-life stance. Great man and great guys. He tells the truth and isn’t afraid to speak up to defend the life of the unborn most precious in society. The murder of babies is the most evil thing occurring today. It must be stopped.

    k.... ....

    Too mesmerized by the guitar playing to care, to be honest. Just listen.....

    k.... ....

    Definitely

  34. T.... S....

    It was made by Extreme and the title is Rock a bye bye

  35. I.... ....

    @AlabamaAxeman: Love both VH & Nuno. It's not like we comparing VH/Extreme with like soundgarden or pearl jam.

  36. I.... ....

    @AlabamaAxeman: Love both VH & Nuno. It's not like we comparing VH/Extreme with like soundgarden or pearl jam.

  37. n.... ....

    Then maybe Extreme should write another song for the people who love Jesus and get killed just for posting on youtube and actually defending the unborn? lol

  38. g.... ....

    @Ireg2post1 I TOTALLY AGREE WITH U DUDE!!!!!!

  39. n.... ....

    50 000 000 abortions today and counting. Greatest Holocaust ever. Planned (UN)Parenthood and legalized murder assistance from our beloved gvts who are "looking out for our best". I cannot forget the ONE who once lied in a manger and now holds each and every one of those who never had a CHOICE in His dear loving arms. My heart cries out to those mothers struggling and who've been raped, molested through no choice of their own who must bear the burden. And now abides faith, hope and love

  40. A.... ....

    I hate the never-ending Nuno/Eddie VH debates, but this song helps to clearly show the difference between the two. Eddie is a master innovator and a technical master. Nuno is a technical master who can put emotion into his solos and make them seem to speak words to the soul. Each is great in their own right, but there is a tremendous difference between the two if you listen for it.

  41. W.... V....

    4:30...mesmerizing..

  42. S.... 2....

    qualke anima magnanima potrebbe per favor caricare questo pezzo stupendo anke x youtube mobile? tanx

  43. g.... ....

    No matter HOW many times i hear it, it still gives me chills and moves me.

  44. R.... P....

    excellent

  45. M.... B....

    It still brings tears to my eyes, after listening to it for ages... Paul, Pat Nuno & Gary will always have a special place in my heart.

  46. c.... ....

    It's Shawn Mullins!

  47. c.... ....

    I know the song you are talking about, it's in my head, I can't remember it at the moment. If I do, I'll come back on here and let you know!

  48. F.... A....

    Thanks for the great posting, I haven't heard this song in over 15 years. Images are perfect.

  49. S.... ....

    Nuno is a Christian, and probably pro-choice also, thus the sadness of the song.

  50. W.... M....

    I agree, it IS the song. I wasn't saying non-commercial as a bad thing. I was just saying that the people who organise content on the radio will leave out songs that are longer than 5 mins and songs that have extended guitar solos. How many songs with 2 minute guitar solos do you hear on the radio these days?

  51. g.... ....

    That "non-commercial" solo is a musical representation of the death of a child ... it IS the song.

  52. k.... ....

    How many human beings have ever captured the feeling of what dying and going to heaven is like in a piece of music? This song and Beethoven's 9th are the only songs that have ever done it for me.

    If you like this piece, "Who Cares?" from III Sides to Every Story is very similar.

    k.... ....

    Always loved listening to that third side, when the orchestra kicks in....WOW!

  53. g.... ....

    an anthem for the Pro-Lifers out there!!!

  54. d.... ....

    been lookin for this for 15 yrs thanks for posting! love it!

  55. m.... ....

    remember listening to this in 1990, still the best feeling solo i ever heard

  56. A.... ....

    Amazing Solo..

  57. d.... ....

    are you kidding?
    that's the best part of the song.....nuno gives it his all......you're obviously not a musician to appreciate it

  58. W.... M....

    Thanks for posting this song... it's great.
    I'm sure it would have been a bigger hit if they left out the non-commercial (but excellent) guitar solo at the end.
