(2) Crown of Thorns were a blast of melodic rock fresh air when they crashed onto the scene in the mid 90's. The dynamic pairing of vocalist Jean Beauvoir and former Shalamar guitarist Micki Free.
AOR melodic rock band Crown of Thorns featuring Jean Beauvoir. Toured with Bon Jovi and Van Halen.
(3)Crown Of Thorns was one of the forerunners of the "disco/synth" influenced techno sound, albeit with a "punky" edge, that would become all the rage a decade later. They made their first album appearance on the Illegal Records collection The Defiant Pose in 1983 with "Gone Are The Days." Their debut EP followed in the US later that year.
In 1984, five more songs appeared in the UK only, in various 12" and 7" combinations: "Kingdom Come", "Guns In The Name Of God", "World Radio", "Diamond Jim" and "No Man's Land". The band's output seems, abruptly, to have ended there. An anticipated debut album never materialized and the band soon faded from memory, reduced to nothing more than an entry on William Orbit's resumé...
Believer
Crown Of Thorns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tryin' to fool me tryin' to tell me he's a friend of mine
Doin' everyting yeah to make me feel weak
Won't surrender gonna lose no sleep
I am a believer, I'll live forever and a day
I'm the sole retriever of all that comes my way
They have tried to break me, I've kept my two feet on the ground
Sometimes I'm freezin' I'm feelin' so cold
'Cause there's a thief in the night
Who's dependent on taking my soul to make him right
Maybe he's disguised in a three-piece suit
Won't be forgiving gonna do what I choose
I am a believer, I'll live forever and a day
I'm the sole retriever of all that comes my way
They have tried to break me, I've kept my two feet on the ground
But if demons try to take me I won't back down
But they have tried to break me
I've kept my two feet on the ground
If the demons try to take me
I won't back down, no, no
I won't let them take me baby
I won't have it
Oh yeah, it's a sunny morning
Here on the 405 freeway in Los Angeles, California
It looks like it's gonna be a beautiful day
A scorcher
The song "Believer" by Crown Of Thorns is a powerful track about standing up against temptation and staying strong in one's beliefs. The song begins by describing someone who has been trying to deceive the singer for a year but he's too strong to fall for his tricks. The singer proclaims that he is a believer and will live forever and a day. He won't allow anyone to break him and take advantage of him. The singer acknowledges that sometimes he feels vulnerable and cold but he won't let a demon disguised as a gentleman in a suit manipulate him. The chorus is a statement of his unwavering commitment to his beliefs and his refusal to be broken even if his soul is at stake.
The song inspires individuals to stand steadfast in their convictions and not be swayed by external factors. The singer is depicted as a resolute figure who refuses to compromise his principles, and the song reminds us to do the same. The guitar-heavy and hard-hitting sound of the song adds to the overall mood of the song, emphasizing the importance of strength and determination in the face of adversity.
