(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...
I'm sorry
Crown Of Thorns Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You told me now
But I didn't know what to say
Told me what you felt for me
I left you cryin'
My head so far away
I know that you've had loneliness
But I'll make it up a hundred times a day
I'm sorry I
Put out the flame
Let you go when you were down
I'm sorry I'm
The one to blame
Should have known that you would drown
I confess to selfishness as time went on
When all that you would need
Is for me to fill your emptiness
But I was gone and I didn't feel you bleed
Well I'm guilty of this foolishness
But I'll make it up a hundred times a day
I'm sorry I
Put out the flame
Let you go when you were down
I'm sorry I'm
The one to blame
Should have known that you would drown
Repeat Chorus
