Bryan Adams was already popular in Canada when the release of his third album 'Cuts Like A Knife' in 1983 brought him a large following in the USA. His fourth album, 'Reckless', often referred to as one of the most significant of the 1980s, sold over 4 million copies at the time and continues to sell now. His fifth album 'Into the Fire' went platinum.
'Waking Up The Neighbours', his sixth album in 1991, powered him to international stardom. The single '(Everything I Do) I Do For You' spent 16 weeks at number 1; it broke a UK record that had stood since 1955 and still stands today. Across in the USA it became the second largest selling single to 'We Are The World'. The song was featured in the film 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves' (1991) and for this Mr Adams received his first Academy Award nomination. He was also nominated for a Golden Globe.
42 film Directors' have used Adams' music as soundtrack - from A Night In Heaven (1983) to Bobby (2007).
Adams was awarded the C.M. (Member of the Order of Canada) on April 20th 1998 and the C.O.

He was also inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 1998, and more recently inducted into the Music Hall of Fame at Canada's Juno Awards (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys) in April 2006. Notably, Adams refuses to attend the awards; as his manager, Bruce Allen explains: "they turned their back on the biggest thing to come out of Canada"--in reference to the hit '(Everything I Do) I Do For You'.
Adams has been nominated for three Academy Awards for songwriting, and was recently nominated for his fifth Golden Globe (2007) for his songwriting in the film 'Bobby'.

Straight From The Heart
Bryan Adams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As long as you're gone we may as well pretend
I've been dreamin'
Straight from the heart
You say it's easy but who's to say
That we'd be able to keep it this way
But it's easier
Give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make another start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's comin' straight from the heart
I see you on the street some other time
And all our words would just fall out of line
While we're dreamin'
Straight from the heart
Oh give it to me straight from the heart
Tell me we can make one more start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart, oh
Don't ever leave my darling
Whoa oh straight from the heart
Tell me we can make one more start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
Give it to me now
Straight from the heart
Tell me we can make one more start
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart
Give it to me, oh no, oh no
Straight from the heart
You know I'll never go
As long as I know
It's coming straight from the heart
The lyrics of Bryan Adams's song "Straight from the Heart" express the anguish felt by someone who has lost their lover. Although the person in the song could try to move on, they are still stuck in their dreams and are yearning for their partner's return. They admit that the situation is not easy, but they still hold on to hope that they can make another start, as long as they hear it "straight from the heart." The person is desperately seeking an honest and sincere communication from their lover that will let them know if there is a chance to reconcile. They're willing to try again if they hear the truth, but they fear that any words spoken outside of true feeling will be meaningless.
These lyrics evoke powerful emotions of love, loss, and longing. The song speaks to anyone who has felt heartbroken and unable to move on. It shows that even in the darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of hope, though it may be hard to find.

I could start dreamin' but it never ends
Although I could begin to dream of a future together, the reality is that it will never happen.
As long as you're gone we may as well pretend
Since you are no longer here, I'll try to pretend that we are still together.
I've been dreamin'
I have been imagining a future where we are still together.
Straight from the heart
These thoughts and feelings that I have are genuine and come from my heart.
You say it's easy but who's to say
While you make it seem simple, there is no guarantee it will be that way.
That we'd be able to keep it this way
There is no promise that we can maintain a working relationship.
But it's easier
Even so, opening up and expressing my emotions to you is still easier.

If we were to talk again, it would be difficult to articulate our thoughts and feelings.
While we're dreamin'
While we imagine a future together in our minds.
Oh give it to me straight from the heart
Please be truthful and honest with me about what is going on between us.

Hmm, Ellen has space set up for her show guests to walk through room which has free gifts offered so each person goes home with a few goodies but a security camera catches a grown woman in the act of stealing. Then Ellen shows this to the viewers.
So, an audience guest ignores the rules; thinks she deserves more gifts than the others who were taking their gifts on the good faith system of honesty, and this woman thinks she is special and entitled to more.
You think Ellen, the host gift-giver is in the wrong for humorously but effectively shaming the chick who thought she was entitled to more than the rest? Interesting.
Ellen D is one of the most kind-hearted most generous people on the planet and generously gives a large portion of what her life's work has afforded her. Are you one of the hater crowd who think actors and musicians do not work hard & don't deserve their wealth?
Many of us really don't get this weird new anti-Hollywood, ant-TV, anti-music mentality. Where did that come from?
The snide and nasty insult on "MZ. Ellen" said all anyone needed to get your drift. You imply she "enjoys demeaning", "enjoys hurting others". You are bigoted, prejudiced and incorrect.
Her philanthropic endeavors include donating millions of dollars to help fight hunger, fight cancer and ending bullying. She launched the Small Change Campaign with Ben Affleck that contributes to fighting hunger throughout the United States. (taken off the internet as is)
One of Ellen's biggest charitable endeavors is the Campus for Rwanda, the community is building that will help educate young people, highlight the life's work of scientist naturalist Dian Fossey in saving the endangered mountain gorilla.
Building the campus is giving thousands of jobs to an impoverished community once under the ruin of violent Poachers. Do you have any idea of the billions Ellen has given to help the poor, the needy and endangered species she care for? Same goes for hundreds of other wealthy actors & musicians who give demonstrably to the disadvantaged. Or those providing musical instruments & theatrical equipment for our kids now deprived of Culture & the Arts due to Republican cuts on Education & Social Programs.
Hm.
Are you among the newly hatched entitled class of people of the anti-social mindset who think anybody should do whatever they damn well please, if they can get away with it!
Society can only succeeds when each person comprehends boundaries, knows the difference between right & wrong, obeys the laws put in place to keep civil order, don't you?
Or do you believe people can take law into their own hands and act as law enforcement, judge & jury by anointing him/herself vigilante?

You're right, I never would have believed a man could fall over a weak fence if it wasn't recorded. What would my life have been like without this video showing me such a profound event.
@jason_kenner
I was thinking the exact same thing. I am blown away by what took place. I did not know that such a phenomenon was possible. Thank goodness for camera's.
