| 1. Hungry
Baby, baby look so fine
Let me know that you'll be mine
Cause I don't wanna be alone tonight
Pick me up and take me home
Let your love be all I own
Just be my baby through the night
Baby take off your leather
And show me all your lace
Gimme loving one thousand ways
Cause I'm  |

После первого альбома "Fight to Survive" группе White Lion необходимо было сделать второй шаг на пути к признанию и успеху, закрепив достижения двухгодичной давности. И музыканты сделали это, добившись популярности благодаря удачно подобранному синглу "When the Children Cry", достигшему третьей строчки Биллбордовских чартов.
Выбор был очевиден: либо продолжать ранее начатое, либо измениться, а можно даже сказать, подстроиться под музыкальные предпочтения того периода в рок-музыке. Группа выбрала второй вариант. Не будем сейчас говорить о том, как этот выбор повлиял на дальнейшую судьбу White Lion. Самое главное в том, что коллектив узнали и полюбили многие. Появились новые фэны, турне и контракты. Всё было бы прекрасно, но это был последний успех группы в 80-х. Говоря о закате White Lion, стоит упомянуть композиции на "Pride", изменившие звук команды кардинально: "All You Need Is Rock N Roll", "Sweet Little Loving" и "Wait". Казалось бы, что страшного, если разбавить этим песнями альбом? Но следущая пластинка "Big Game" будет буквально забита такими "шедеврами". Тем не менее, в целом "Pride" очень даже порадовал сильными треками: "Hungry", "Lonely Nights", "Lady of the Valley", "Tell Me", ну и конечно же, "When the Children Cry". Правда, исчезли куда-то сопровождавшие когда-то вокал Майка Трэмпа клавишные. Почти испарилась меланхолия. Разбавленный "Pride" на вкус, как слабоалкогольный коктейль. Эффект есть, но быстро проходит. Рекомендовано фэнам, но в строго ограниченной дозировке. И всё же, этим альбомом можно наслаждаться. Ведь по крайней мере, это не "Mane Attraction". |

Участников ансамбля Белый Лев всегда отличал более тонкий вкус, чем остальных парней в лосинах, например, Ratt или Poison и высочайшие композиторские способности. Особенно это проявилось при записи альбома "Pride", пожалуй, лучшего в дискографии группы. С первых же аккордов дебютной композиции "Hungry", замечательного в меру тяжелого боевика с виртуозным гитарным соло, погружаешься в волшебный мир музыки White Lion. Каждую песню из "Pride" отличает замечательная неповтормая мелодия, будь то главный хит группы "Wait, Lady Of The Valley" с замечательным риффингом и сменой темпа, просто красивые "Lonely Nights" и "Tell Me" или заверщающая альбом супербаллада "When The Children Cry". Не удался "Львам" только гимн "All You Need Is Rock' n' Roll", но это лишь небольшой недостаток при огромном количестве достоинств альбома. Качественный AOR, который приятно послушать и двадцать лет спустя. |

В 1987 году вышло множество хороших альбомов. Лучшим же альбомом в глэм-метале того года считаю «Pride» White Lion, который стал наиболее яркой и свежей работой группы, и принес ей известность. Качество записи значительно улучшилось, гораздо профессиональнее стал вокал. Главная фишка у группы - виртуозная гитарная игра Вито Братты, который полностью раскрыл здесь свой талант. На высоте и остальные музыканты. Касательно собственно музыки - она стала чуть менее тяжелой, но еще более яркой и красивой. Прекрасные песни «Hungry» (1), «Lonely Nights» (2), «Lady of the Valley» (5), «Wait» (6), «All Join our Hands» (9) и «When the Children Cry» (10) навсегда останутся классикой и примером того, каким должна быть мелодичная, и в то же время жесткая рок-музыка. На их фоне остальные композиции смотрятся не так ярко, хотя сами по себе они хороши по всем статьям. Рецензия получилась короткой, поскольку больше добавить по этому альбому нечего. Идеал и образец глэм-метала, и просто великолепный альбом из далеких 80-х. 10 баллов, как лучшему релизу в дискографии White Lion. |

Yes, I'm hungry
Oh so hungry
Hungry for your love
Keep your engine running high
When you take my love inside
But hold the trigger on my loaded gun
Show me that your touch is right
And take to the top tonight
Hurt me baby but don't let me cry
Cause your touching gets me crazy
And your teasing drives me wild
I need your love like a little child
Cause I'm hungry
Yes I'm hungry
Oh so hungry for your love
Cause your love is wild
I'm begging like a child
Needing all of you
When your love is mine
I'll be feeling fine
All through the night
Keep your engine running high
When you take my love inside
But hold the trigger on my loaded gun
Baby take off your leather
And show me all your lace
Gimme love one thousand ways
Cause I'm hungry…
2. Lonely Nights
The little girl standing in the rain
On the corner of 42nd street
And she's all alone on the bad side of town
Cause there was a little boy
That she loved with all her heart
But he's far away with another girl
Now she's searching for a friend
Just to hold her when she cries
In her lonely nights, lonely nights
Where no one seems to care
In her lonely nights, lonely nights
You better beware
But baby you try and you try
But it seems that it doesn't work
Cause love is a game that they play
So baby hold on to your heart
When they tell you that they care
Yeah now that you know that the winner
Takes what he wants
But she's searching for a friend
Just hold her when she cries
In her lonely nights, lonely nights
Where no one seems to care
In her lonely nights, lonely nights
You better beware
And somewhere in the night
There's a little cry
A girl who says
Hey I wanna die
There's no one here who cares
But if there's someone here who understands
Just someone here who'll try to lend a hand
And bring her home tonight, tonight
In her lonely nights...
3. Don't Give Up
Are you tired of working 9 to 5
And are you fed up with your boring life
When your master tells you what to do
Years you wasted looking back at you
When life is driving you crazy
You feel your losing your mind
Don't give up, don't give up
When the road gets rough
Don't give up, don't give up
Even when it's tough
Making money you never have enough
Never-ending bills are building up
And the tax man stalking at your door
Never giving always wanting more
You feel like changing the times
To get some peace in your mind
Don't give up, don't give up
When the road gets rough
Don't give up, don't give up
Even when it's tough
Don't give up, don't give up
When the road gets rough
Don't give up, don't give up
Even when it's tough
Don't give up,don't give up
Don't you ever give up
Don't give up, you can make it
Don't give up, you can do it tonight
Don't give up, you can tell 'em
Don't give up, you can show 'em alright
Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up
Don't you ever give up
4. Sweet Little Lovin'
Little miss dee's got a dirty mind
All around the boy's she's one of a kind
If you wanna good time you can take her home
Cause everyone knows she is good in bed
In a minute or two she'll make your dreams come true
She takes you to the top, you never wanna stop
Sweet little loving
Sweet little loving
Sweet little loving
Sweet little loving
Late night work in the sleezy bars
Driving down the boulevard in the fancy cars
She don't care what her daddy says
Cause all that matters is how much it pays
For two hundred down you get a hell of a time
She takes you to the top you never want to stop
Sweet little loving
Sweet little loving
Sweet little loving
Sweet little loving
I wonder why she never cries
I wonder why she never cries
Sweet little loving
Sweet little loving
Sweet little loving
Sweet little loving
5. Lady Of The Valley
Lady of the valley
Can you hear me cry
In the stillness of the night
I have lost my brother
In the fights of the war
And my heart has broken down
In the night I cry but no one seems to hear
I step into the light but all I feel is fear
Lady of the valley
Can you bring him back
To the days when we were kids
Once we were together
We stood young and strong
now it seems so long ago
The golden key is at the end of the chain
How it hurts oh lady free me from this pain
In the night I cry to the lady of the valley
Cause I'll die without the lady of the valley
In the night I call to the lady of the valley
On my knees I fall before the lady of the valley
In the valley lies the treasure
And the lady guards it well
He who bears all the pressure
Is the one to break the spell
There's a sign that I've followed
And it has led me to your seat
I have brought my fallen brother
And I've laid him, yes I've laid him
At your feet
In the night I cry to the lady of the valley
Cause I'll die without the lady of the valley
In the night I cry to the lady of the valley
Cause I'll die without the lady of the valley
In the night I call to the lady of the valley
On my knees I fall before the lady of the valley
6. Wait
7. All You Need Is Rock N Roll
Are you feeling down
Are you all alone
Have your dreams been shattered
Have you lost all hope
All you need is music
It's your destiny, it sets you free
Whoh, oh, oh, oh
All you need is rock'n'roll
Whoh, oh, oh, oh
Whoh, oh, oh, oh
All you need is rock'n'roll
Whoh, oh, oh, oh
You can raise your hands
You can stomp your feet
Get down and turn around
You can do it all cause there ain't no rules
When you feel the music
Just move your feet, to that heavy beat
Whoh, oh, oh, oh
All you need is rock'n'roll
Whoh, oh, oh, oh
Whoh, oh, oh, oh
All you need is rock'n'roll
Whoh, oh, oh, oh
Whoh, oh, oh, oh
All you need is rock'n'roll
Whoh, oh, oh, oh
Whoh, oh, oh, oh
All you need is rock'n'roll
Whoh, oh, oh, oh
8. Tell Me
We held each other tight
And ran away into the night
Oh baby you were so afraid
We knew we couldn't stay
Our parents didn't understand
The love we had together
We were teenagers
Far away from home
We were cold and all alone
Tell me baby all through the night
That you'll never let me go
Tell me baby cause I want the world to know
Together we were one
We found the place where dreams are made
And hearts never broken
We said we'd never leave
You know we couldn't turn around
And face that we had left behind
We were young in love
Out on the run
We were cold and all alone
Tell me baby all through the night
That you'll never let me go
Tell me baby cause I want the world to know
Tell me baby I'm the only one
And you ever need
Tell me baby that you'll never let me go
Tell me baby all through the night
That you'll never let me go
Tell me baby cause I want the world to know
Tell me baby I'm the only one
And you ever need
Tell me baby that you'll never let me go
Oh baby, you know we couldn't turn around
Cause we were young up against the world
So tell me, tell that you'll never let me go
Cause I need your love, and I need it all the time
9. All Join Our Hands
Children crying from the heat
Don't they know they belong
People fighting can't compete
Don't they know that they're wrong
Time is standing
Still all around
Yes time takes us on a trip
Round'n'round our minds
Pictures of a dream
All it does is cloud all the lies
So let's all join our hands
Raise them together
We can fight for the lives that are real
Yeah lets all join hands
Raise them together
It's a fight for the right that we feel
Nations plan hearts are weak
Don't they know that we belong
Years of growing reach the peak
Don't they know that they're wrong
Life surrounds us
In many different ways
All we see
Are switches there to take it all away
Pieces of a dream
All it does is cloud all the lies
So let's all join our hands
Raise them together
We can fight for the lives that are real
Yeah lets all join hands
Raise them together
It's a fight for the right that we feel
Is this the way
We treat one another
Days filled with hope
Lives filled with fear
Why must we live
At war with our brothers
When we could live
Our future at last
So let's all join our hands
Raise them together
We can fight for the lives that are real
Yeah lets all join hands
Raise them together
It's a fight for the right that we feel
10. When The Children Cry
Little child
Dry your crying eyes
How can I explain
The fear you feel inside
'Cause you were born
Into this evil world
Where man is killing man
And no one knows just why
What have we become
Just look what we have done
All that we destroyed
You must build again
When the children cry
Let them know we tried
'Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins
Little child
You must show the way
To a better day
For all the young
'Cause you were born
For the world to see
That we all can live
With love and peace
No more presidents
And all the wars will end
One united world under God
When the children cry
Let them know we tried
'Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins
What have we become
Just look what we have done
All that we destroyed
You must build again
No more presidents
And all the wars will end
One united world under God
When the children cry
Let them know we tried
'Cause when the children sing
The new world begins
What have we become
Just look what we have done
All that we destroyed
You must build again
No more presidents
And all the wars will end
One united world under God
When the children cry
Let them know we tried
'Cause when the children fight
Let them know it ain´t right
When the children pray
Let them know the way
'Cause when the children sing
Then the new world begins
