From 1989 to 1994 Chroming Rose caused a sensation with three international successful CDs, released by EMI, Louis XIV, Garden of Eden, Pressure. The result were great live-tours through Europe and even Japan and the United States. The band played together with well known acts like Gotthard, Mr. Big, Saxon, Extreme & White Lion.
The band toured as support to Pink Cream 69 and U.D.O. during 1990 and opened for Saxon's German tour the following year; 1991 also seeing the emergence of sophomore effort Garden Of Eden which, like the debut, was produced by Tommy Hansen. The 1992 Pressure album would be produced by Flemming 'Razz' Rasmussen.
In 1992 the band undertook its first headline tour of Japan prior to a double headliner of Germany with Swedes Treat. A 1993 German headline tour saw Brazilians Viper supporting. Ex-Chroming Rose's guitarist Uwe Hormann would found Tarot'S Myst.
With the new singer Tom Reiners a new age began:
In 1994 the group unleashed the live album Artworks Live Now, debuting new vocalist Tom Reiners and a new label in Miez Records, which was only made and dedicated for the fans. 1996 gave birth to Chroming Rose's second album for Miez in New World.
This selfproduced "tough and mighty edged piece of a rock-album" was no longer German speedmetal. But also it expressed the melodic power and individuality of Chroming Rose itself.
Because of this developement The CD got quite different reviews from both press and audience. But foreign countries reviewed New World unprejudiced: So the CD was released by JVC in Japan and charted at once. The album even was licensed in the U.S., where the resonances toped all expectations. The live-activities of the band in Eastern Europe caused sensations. New World led many reader charts and was "on the air" for several months.
The result of the large European live-tour with more than 80 shows and uncountable different promotional activities (self-produced video clip, unplugged-sessions in many music stores and radio stations, etc.) was a constantly growing crowd of fans. Because of these continuous efforts, a cooperation with the international distributor ZYX-Music was realized.
The change was executed, the basis for the future fixed.
So Insight is the direct and honest result of the consequent work of Chroming Rose.
Simultaneous to the CD Insight the band presents the strictly limited edition The Gift. It contains Insight and also the special acoustic-EP Private. It shows another side of Chroming Rose, which more than underlines the many sidedness of the band. Animated by a successful acoustic-tour, Chroming Rose decided to release this CD to proof that rock music can be personal, private and familiar, too.
The band disbanded later, during the year 1999.
During late 2002 Gerd Salewski guested as backing vocalist on the 'Vengeance Descending' album from Swedish band Crystal Eyes.
Wherever
Chroming Rose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
where am I gone
calling for love
left all alone
lay down in your arms
seek and find home
leaving the glory
wherever you are
wherever you go
whatever you do
I am not far away from you
left in the world
lost in a cage
years passing by
you shiver some day
and with the beat of your heart
I surrender it all
and nothing can take me away
from you at all
wherever you are
wherever you go
whatever you do
I am not far away from you
how could I go on
without your love
'cause I feel the rain on my face
and I know where my heart belongs to
wherever you are
wherever you go
whatever you do
I am not far away from you
The lyrics of Chroming Rose's song Wherever describe the feeling of being lost and searching for love, but eventually finding a sense of belonging and home in someone else's arms. The first two lines set the tone of confusion, as the singer is lost in the sky and questioning where they are gone. They then call out for love, but feel left alone. The next few lines bring a sense of resolution as they lay down in their partner's arms, finding a home and leaving behind the glory of the external world for the light of their loved one's soul.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer is never far away, no matter where their partner goes or what they do. The second verse adds a sense of time passing, with the years going by and the singer feeling lost in a cage. But with the beat of their partner's heart, they surrender everything to be with them and feel that nothing can take them away.
The bridge returns to the feeling of lostness without their partner's love, emphasizing that their heart belongs to them. The chorus repeats again, cementing the idea that no matter what happens, the singer is not far away from their partner.
Overall, the lyrics of Wherever have a romantic and hopeful tone, celebrating the idea of finding home in another person and being deeply connected to them.
