MSG (Michael Schenker Group) - Sleeping With The Light On Lyrics






I remember when we were young
Kids playing wild and free
Ain't no weeping, ain't no sorrows
All these passing years
So why the tears are falling so
While crying deeply
Wondering through a shallow land
With no escape for me

We all dream
Leafless in the forest
The only life
Is drying out in the sun
The same dream
Always there returning
I better run
Better run away

You can leave the light on
If you're afraid of the dark
Sleeping with the light on
To fight back the night is sometimes hard
You can leave the light on
Sleeping with the light on

The sun has left me for too long
My days are painted gray
Memories come rushing in
I wish my love had stayed
Again the tears are falling down
I cry myself to sleep
My heart is heavy in overload
I need a song to weep

This old heart
Keeps the fire burning
The flame
Is lingering deep inside
And the pain
Has always been returning
I better run
Better run away

You can leave the light on
If you're afraid of the dark
Sleeping with the light on
To fight back the night is sometimes hard
You can leave the light on
Sleeping with the light on

I remember when we were young
Kids playing wild and free
Ain't no weeping, ain't no sorrows
All these passing years

I...
Keep this fire burning
Better run
I better run away

You can leave the light on
If you're afraid of the dark
Sleeping with the light on
To fight back the night is sometimes hard
You can leave the light on
Sleeping with the light on

Sleeping with the light on

    What are people hearing that I'm not?? This is TERRIBLE! I have a soft spot for Michael, but his solo career has been blighted by poor songwriting, and this is no exception. He should sack this off, get a band of new young musicians with a good songwriting partner and give it one last go. But this is not what Michael should be remembered for.

  6. D.... G....

    Не все же немчурам здесь писать

  7. D.... G....

    Michael is of the best rockguitarists in the world!!!!!! THE BEST!!!!!!

  8. P.... H....

    Love Schenker but this tune for me shows no indelible qualities of his earlier and better work. Nothing great here.

  10. R.... R....

    Good stuff, bringing back that good old rock, it's music to mg ears.

  11. c.... ....

    find a very long interview I did with MICHAEL SCHENKER here: https://www.voicesfromthedarkside.de/Interviews/MICHAEL-SCHENKER--12257.html

  12. p.... R....

    Michael schenker un feeling fabuleux dans son jeu de guitare et son vibrato est magique .

  13. A.... G....

    one of the best songs i listen in this year love it masterpiece!! Congratulations

  14. s.... ....

    one of the hottest guitar players ever. Four singers who are checking their egos at the door as each ones voice is still unbelievable at any age.

  15. L.... J....

    Reminds me of 'Veteran of the Psychic Wars' by BOC.

    L.... J....

    I wish.

    L.... J....

    I wish it was that good.

  16. R.... F....

    very very nice song !

  17. C.... J....

    wanted so bad to like it; but I do not, hoping other tracks are good!!!

  18. S.... N....

    Good sound, good voices!

  19. H.... M....

    I dig it

  20. M.... 2....

    I love it, all my admiration ;)

  21. J.... F....

    Such a phenomenal guitar player but it's sad that you have to listen to such crappy songs that go along with it. Other than a handful of great songs in his early solo days the songs themselves he has played on have not been worth listening to since UFO.

    J.... F....

    Yeah, pretty much. Generic at best.

  22. D.... V....

    The greatest guitar player of all times

    Their majesty Michael Schenker

  23. C.... F....

    How many singers do we get on this one?

  24. m.... ....

    Another classic song by Michael Schenker Group!!! Awesome!!!

  25. M.... M....

    Great tune, great vocals, and great guitar. I really love it.

  26. �.... ....

    こういう “ ネバリ気 ” のある曲調はグラハム・ドギーはさすがに合う!
    ゲイリー・ロビン、少々苦しいなぁ。

    でもこの4人が歌う事想定して曲書くのって難しい…だろうなぁ。

  27. V.... K....

    They keep their voices at all!

  28. C.... D....

    Still prefer the Gibson Flying V

  29. M.... ....

    Don't feel Doogie is at the same Level as the other Singers, what was Michael thinking...

    M.... ....

    I think he's better than McAuley and Barden, and Bonnet's really struggling and straining at his advanced age.

  30. D.... R....

    Great song - let's keep this party going!

  31. P.... P....

    Four Dog Night. One of the heaviest groups in America, today!

  32. P.... P....

    Robin Mcauley красава!!! Все тот же супер вокал!!! А в целом, старички отжигают по полной!!!

  33. K.... S....

    Great song!

  34. �.... ....

    my hero!!👍👍👍👍👍

    so cool!!🕺🕺🕺🕺🕺

  35. S.... R....

    Fantastic new track! Love it!

  36. c.... o....

    That is one kick ass collaboration of talent. Meaningful Substance and a powerful delivery. 💪🍻

  37. s.... ....

    That is what i call luxus...To have four great singers in one band..!!!! Wow

  38. J.... K....

    Michael may be having the best times of his life. I know I am listening to this. Absolute lovely stuff. That vocal talent there is frightening, come on, Gary Barden, Doogie White, Graham Bonnet and Robin McAuley, I love each one of them and together, I don´t know, can´t describe the feeling, from one high to another. Last Supper was a very good record, can´t wait for the new one, I´m very glad that the Egos have stayed together !

  39. O.... O....

    These grandpas are heroes...

  40. I.... D....

    Good as always!

  41. S.... P....

    Should have added Phil Mogg to this song/album.

    S.... P....

    I'm not sure if Michael & Phil can be in the same room. Which isn't necessarily a problem for making an album, so many are done different parts in different places, but then there's the video.

  42. A.... R....

    Great track, better than Rock Steady.
    Love Gary's voice!
    But I'm just disappointed about that video, "Warrior" video (1st MSF album) is way better !

  43. s.... m....

    Braden sounds the best on the song and in studio I wish he would have been the only singer on the album no disrespect to graham I love him and he is a better live singer than Braden the other two you can leave out never did like McCauley that is when I lost interest in msg it was so generic with McCauley and doogie just plane sucks he isn't very good at all so Michael you only need bonnet and barden 👌

    s.... m....

    Fucking auto correct

  44. V.... O....

    Only Schenker could find a way to incorporate all his past singers into one track, I love it, brilliant, can't wait for the record.

  45. Z.... G....

    Uh- Schenker bitched about the Rock Bottom solo on the live UFO album- this new stuff is a major league sleeper and sounds like he isn't really there anymore.....Poor Rock Bottom, poor poor Rock Bottom. Com On Man- play a solo- you're M. F'n Schenker. Barden was the best MSg singer- dang it...that should be obvious

  46. r.... H....

    Alright boys, keep em comin Keep On Rockin !!!!!!!

  47. E.... V....

    Love this song

  48. M.... S....

    The Axeman lives forever ✌

  49. H.... N....

    Pretty cool video. Glimp back to the first MSG album. Michael is sitting on medical chair and watching hot nurse.

  50. �.... ....

    マイケルのギター昔のにもてどってる?

    �.... ....

    昔のマイケルらしい力強さが戻ってきた感じがしますね。ギターソロが昔みたいにあまり早く弾かなくなりましたけど。

    �.... ....

    かつてのフライングV (ルドルフから強奪したw) も含めて、所有してた機材、金がない時に売っぱらっちゃったから、なかなか再現は難しいでしょうねぇ…。
    まぁマイケルが弾きゃーなんでもマイケルにはなるけど。

  51. I.... W....

    Sadly this yet another uninspiring song from Michael & co. This style of soloing he's been doing over the last 10 or so years is terrible. How I wish he still played with the same flair and originality that he showcased during the 1970's with UFO and early 80's with MSG!

    I.... W....

    agree with your comment 100% , unfortunately people are being blind , hes one of my favs as well , but he just seems different like they replaced the real michael schenker somewhere in time, I too miss the cool riffs and solos he played . And its not because hes getting old , he knows how to play so no excuses . lol

  52. M.... S....

    Very Nice!

  53. M.... S....

    Yeah, Fantastic!

  54. B.... C....

    I like the nod to the cover of the first MSG album, Michael in the chair and the nurse. http://record.ticro.com/record/jacket/M00006529.jpg

  55. E.... K....

    michael schenker very best melodia

  56. M.... J....

    I have goosebumps when I listen to this song, especially Robin in the chorus !!! It promises to be a brilliant album !!! We are waiting for a concert in Poland !!!

  57. T.... J....

    Graham Bonnet! 👍

  58. R.... S....

    Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  59. L.... S....

    🤘🤘🤘

  60. G.... ....

    What a Song! ..amazing!!

  61. J.... B....

    I'm almost 60 and here I see men my age and older trying to recreate something they all did when they were in their 20's. Sad. MS was a guitar hero of mine for most of the 70's and 80's. Now I watch this stuff and think "This is not age appropriate music" Can't these guys ever consider evolving? Why are you in your 60's and still chasing pussy? Nurses in garter belts? The directors, producers, and musicians here all need to get a grip on reality.

    J.... B....

    Chasing pussy!👍 Classic.

  62. T.... J....

    Yeah Michael Schenker..!m!

  63. J.... B....

    This is sign to me that Schenker maybe getting to old especially in this song he's kind of sloppy not like Michael.

    J.... B....

    Joseph Black sloppy? Have you seen him live recently?

  64. J.... M....

    Not at all good. Sub par at best. Try again.

    J.... M....

    Your dick sucking abilities? Yes you're right. Try harder next time Janet.

    J.... M....

    WTF I bet you can't suck a golfball through a garden hose. Try AGAIN BITCH

  65. B.... M....

    Whoever mixed and mastered this track did a shit job. Can't believe this got the okay from the band.

  66. M.... M....

    Rock will nevet die 😁

  67. o.... t....

    Execelente Tema..Great Song and Great Singers

  68. A.... R....

    Robin was (is) great, but it's Gary Barden for me!

    A.... R....

    Gary can sing fine in studio, but not on stage, where Robin rules.

    A.... R....

    @Marcelo Melgaço Fair enough!

  69. J.... O....

    what´s the deal with Schenker´s stupid hat? He looks like some Russian soldier who didn´t have a food for weeks...

  70. B.... D....

    Love it can't wait for the new album.

  71. M.... H....

    Nice to hear Robin Macauley sing.

  72. D.... ....

    King Schenker strikes again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  73. M.... B....

    Robin and Graham sound better than they did 30 years ago. I'm thinking...autotune? Still a great track.

  74. j.... v....

    Bring back the Gibson V

  75. N.... B....

    schenker is the best but id rather see a gibson v strapped on him instead of a dean

  76. R.... P....

    O wish that other bands who had different singers put an album and tour like this one. Imagine if Blackmore or Malmsteen did the same? Yeah I know this is impossible but we can dream about

  77. D.... O....

    Great vibrato 🎸. Maybe left handed or ambidextrous?

    D.... O....

    Yeahh,,,One of the best vibrato ever..!!!! Imho..!!

  78. M.... ....

    Like how it ends with Graham 😎

  79. R.... P....

    I didn’t like rock steady (the first single) but I really like this one. Great video as well, with references to the first ever msg album. Nice work guys 👍🏻

  80. J.... ....

    Love Michael, but just no hook in this song for my ears. Great to hear all four vocalists together, but not really a great song, IMO.

    J.... ....

    @Robert Dyer Well, that's YOUR opinion. Mine is mine, so fuck off.

    J.... ....

    Hi I'm Darrell and this is my brother darryl lol

    J.... ....

    @moto Johnny Not sure what you're getting at, or what this has to do with Schenker, but okay.

    J.... ....

    @JokersWild45 Hey jokers I was agreeing about opinions of differences

    J.... ....

    you speak the truth , this ain't the real michael schenker we all know and love .

  81. C.... C....

    FANTASTIC🎵🎶❗❗❗👍👌🤙👏👊

  82. A.... S....

    Michael Schenker? Keep 'em coming!

  83. L.... A....

    Old school !🤗🤟

  84. m.... ....

    MSG rules!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

  85. E.... I....

    Nice guitar solo!

  86. n.... n....

    Is the song's melody inspired by Graham?
    Although four vocalists are performing together, the sense of unity sounds very natural.

  87. A.... S....

    I love this!

    A.... S....

    And I love your name! LOL.

  88. Z.... J....

    my favorite band excellent

  89. D.... P....

    Did Schenker forgot how to write riffs ?!

    All these MS Fest songs sound the same, including their previous album. Pick already a singer and make another good album :D, just like he already did with Temple of Rock with Doogie

    Love the assault attack vibe! Reminds me of broken promises! Really good work!

  94. m.... ....

    This is great!!!!

  95. K.... M....

    Out-F*cking-Standing!!! 🤘🤯

  96. �.... �....

    круто! со времён сольного альбома: "Спасибо тебе" ничего у него не слышал!

  97. T.... H....

    Who's playing drums in place of Ted McKenna?

    T.... H....

    His name is Bodo SCHOPF (and not Bodo Schropf). He´s german.

    T.... H....

    And I must add , that Bodo played already with Michael in the eighties in the MSG-Band "McAuley - Schenker - Group". Greetings from Alex Koedinger. Luxembourg.

    T.... H....

    Bodo Schopf. He was part of the McAuley Schenker Group in the 80s and played on two Albums: "Perfect Timing" and "Save Yourself".

    Later he appeared in "Andy Scott's Sweet" and released one album ("A") with them.

    So, actually, with the exception of the bassist, this is an McAuley Schenker Group Reunion with additional singers, as the second guitarist, Steve Mann, was part of that group, too.

    By the way: not all drums on the new album were played by Bodo Schopf. Most of the new material was recorded by Simon Phillips (formerly of MSG and Toto), but he didn't have time to tour, so the job as new permanent drummer went to Schopf.

    And: R. I. P., Ted! Thank you for all the memories you gave us!

    T.... H....

    Thanks everyone!

    T.... H....

    @Nathalie Koedinger , you ever hear of a typo? I know his name is Schopf, and that he played in McAuley Schenker in the 80s.

  98. e.... ....

    Song is just OK (obscure ambience, average chorus, messy structure but good guitar work), but this is the coolest Schenker videoclip that i have ever seen! Fantastic job!

    e.... ....

    Says song mediocre lol then says good job
