Rock with Bryan Adams!


Ever stood frozen in your tracks listening to numbers that are so soothing your foot starts tapping and head starts swaying and you are transported to a surreal world of romance? The moment is not far, as Bryan Adams, Grammy Award winning singer-song writer, is set to indulge Hyderabadis with his breathtaking, awe-inspiring numbers on his “Ultimate Tour” to India, this October. 

One amongst the top stage performers, Bryan Adams knows how to entertain crowds that throng the performance venue. Holding audiences spellbound with his amazing stage-presence and husky voice, he is also known for his spur-of-the-moment gigs and antics with his guitar. The artist is particularly in love with Hyderabad as he mentions in his earlier stage performance in 2011 that Hyderabadi crowd was the loudest and ingeniously went on to delight crowds with heart-touching melodies for a memorable time. This October, as Bryan Adams is set rekindle the fire by belting out numbers that will leave the crowds unashamedly asking for more, here are his top five melodies that all music aficionados should be aware of. “Summer of 69”, a song that not only has a haunting rhythm, but also brings back the old memories like a flood. Initially, the song was supposed to be called “The best days of my life” but later it took on the title “Summer of 69”. However, the words ‘the best days of my life’ do feature in the lyrics many times over.

“Everything I do”, the background theme song for the flick “Robinhood: prince of thieves”, was what shot the artist into the next orbit of popularity. While the movie went on to become a top-grosser at the box-office, the song prevailed in winning hearts with its soothing melody. The aptly-worded theme song was even nominated for a Grammy Award.

“Please forgive me” is a slow power ballad that has Bryan giving his vocal chords a full throttle. Originally written by Adams himself, the song gave the needed thrust to the Album “So far So good” pushing it to the number two position in the UK; number one position in Australia; and the number seven in the US during the 90s. Years gone by, the song still hasn’t lost its flavour. 

“18 till I die” is originally the seventh studio album, which featured singles such as “Have you ever really loved a woman”, “The only thing that looks good on me is you”, “Let’s make a night to remember” along with “18 till I die”. As popular as the others, “18 till I die” stands out for its lively beat and oxymoronic lyrics.

“Heaven” is another number that’s smooth. Written by Jim Wallace and Adams himself, “Heaven” first featured on the “A night in heaven” soundtrack album and later went on to win a good number of awards. Subdued music and distinct composition play on the heartstrings with a new fervor every time one listens to this trance-inducing number. Not merely these numbers, but there are countless other melodies that never fail to put a twinkle in the eye.

With Bryan Adams hitting the town, Hyderabadis are in for another high-energy live performance that promises to send thrills and chills down the spine. Undoubtedly, this gorgeous, husky singer sure knows how to rock one’s blues away with his soulful melodies.
