A masterful and emotionally resonant power ballad from Don Dokken's 1990 solo album, Up from the Ashes. Co-written with legendary vocalist Glenn Hughes (who also provides backing vocals), this track takes the classic Dokken formula and injects it with an elevated sense of melodic and lyrical complexity. It begins softly with clean, bluesy arpeggios and a haunting lead guitar line, building an atmosphere of deep melancholy. The verse section maintains a tense, percolating rhythm that explodes into an anthemic, cathartic chorus, delivering the vocal harmonies the Dokken brand is famous for. The song features expressive, emotive guitar work (by John Norum and Billy White) that, while different from George Lynch's style, provides a blues-rock sensibility and climactic solo befitting a top-tier metal ballad.
