In 1985, Schermick and Destra left Cinderella to join Britny Fox (another Pennsylvania-based hard rock band). They were replaced by guitarist Jeff LaBar and drummer Jim Drnec. It was this lineup that recorded their first album, 'Night Songs' (although the drums were played by session drummer Jody Cortez).
Shortly after the recording, Drnec was replaced by (former London drummer) Fred Coury, who joined in time to be included as the drummer of record in the album's liner notes. The album, released in August 1986 went on to become triple Platinum, selling 50,000 copies per week at one point.
During the Night Songs tour, Cinderella were exposed to a very large audience opening for Bon Jovi (on their tour for Slippery When Wet) and David Lee Roth (on tour for support his Eat 'Em and Smile album).
Cinderella's second album, 'Long Cold Winter', was released in 1988. The 254-show tour to support it lasted over 14 months and included dates on the Moscow Music Peace Festival along side other glam metal heavyweights such as Ozzy Osbourne, The Scorpions, Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi, and Skid Row. A highlight of the tour's stage show featured Keifer being lowered to the stage while playing a white piano during their radio hit Don't Know What You Got 'Til It's Gone.
Their third album, 'Heartbreak Station' was released in 1990 and featured songs much more heavily influenced by Keifer's love of the blues. Following the accompanying tour, Fred Coury left the band and joined former Ratt vocalist Stephen Pearcy in a band called Arcade.
Additionally, Keifer began experiencing problems with his voice after the tour and underwent several operations. This added to delays in recording of their fourth album. In 1994, they finally released 'Still Climbing', but with little support from their label and none from MTV. The album quickly disappeared from the charts.
Cinderella reunited in 1997 and toured the United States in the following year. That same year, Mercury Records released a greatest hits compilation titled Once Upon a.... In 1999, Live at the Key Club was releasd through Cleopatra records. Around this time they were signed by John Kalodner to Portrait/(Sony) Records. Unfortunately, they were dropped by the label before a new album could be released. They toured again in 2000 and 2002.
In 2005 Mercury Records released the compilation 'Rocked, Wired & Bluesed: The Greatest Hits' on CD and DVD.
In the Summer 2006, CInderella toured with fellow glam metal rockers Poison to celebrate the 20th anniversary of both bands' first albums. "Night Songs" and "Look What The Cat Dragged In" were both released in 1986. The tour is a rousing success and has swiftly become one of the most successful tours of 2006, averaging about 20 thousand people in attendance per night.

58 years old.

Through The Rain
Cinderella Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a world gone mad
To find the truth
To understand
And I know it's hard
To turn the page
To walk the line
To have the faith
But sometimes when it's light
And you can see
Sometimes when this world
Just seems to be so cold
Sometimes when you're lost at sea
Drowning in your pain
Sometimes the sun shines through the rain
I know it's hard
In a world so cold
To feel the love
I know it's hard
And I know it's true
That in the end
We all find our way
And that's life my friend
But sometimes when it's light
And you can see
Sometimes when this world
Just seems to be so cold
Sometimes when you're lost at sea
Drowning in your pain
Sometimes the sun shines through the rain
World keeps turning
Nothing changes
Hope this time
We can rearrange the stars
It can't be that hard no
Sometimes when it's light
And you can see
Sometimes when this world
Just seems to be so cold
Sometimes when you're lost at sea
Drowning in your pain
Sometimes the sun shines through the rain
Sometimes when it's light
And you can see
Sometimes when this world
Just seems to be so cold
Sometimes when you're lost at sea
Drowning in your pain
Sometimes the sun shines through the rain
Ooo let it shine
Shine through the rain
Ooo let it shine
Shine through the rain
Sometimes the sun shines through the rain
Don't you know it's gonna shine yea
Shining down on you
Sometimes the sun shines through the rain
"Through The Rain" by Cinderella is a song that speaks about the struggles and hardships that we face in our lives, but also emphasizes that there is always hope and light at the end of the tunnel. The lyrics are an encouragement to keep pushing even when everything seems lost or difficult. The song highlights that the journey might be hard and uncertain but we must have faith and keep going.
The first verse emphasizes that it is hard to find truth and understanding in this world gone mad. The line "to walk the line, to have the faith" signifies the struggle to stay true to our beliefs in the midst of chaos. The chorus emphasizes the importance of hope and light even during our darkest times. It mentions that there are moments when we can see clearly and feel like everything is going to be okay. It acknowledges that sometimes life can be overwhelming and we might be drowning in our own pain, but the sun will eventually shine through the rain.
The second verse focuses on the difficulty of feeling love in a cold world but states that everyone finds a way in the end. The bridge speaks about not giving up and hoping for a better tomorrow, a world where we can rearrange the stars. The last chorus ends with an emphasis on hope and the fact that the sun will shine through the rain.

on Bato sa buhangin
Kapag ang puso'y natutong magmahal
Bawat tibok ay may kulay at buhay
Ngunit kung ang pagsuyo'y lilipas din
Bagay kaya ang bato sa buhangin
Kay hirap unawain
Bawat damdamin
Pangakong magmahal hanggang libing
Sa langit may tagpuan din
At doon hihintayin
Itong bato sa buhangin
Ngunit kung ang pagsuyo'y lilipas din
Bagay kaya ang bato sa buhangin
Kay hirap unawain
Bawat damdamin
Pangakong magmahal hanggang libing
Sa langit may tagpuan din
At doon hihintayin
Itong bato sa buhangin
Bato sa buhangin
Oh ah
