British AOR band formed in 1985 by frontman Darren Wharton, formerly keyboard player for [artis]Thin Lizzy. Their debut album in 1988 Out of the Silence is considered a true classic from every AOR fan around the world. In 1991 they released Blood from Stone a much heavier hard rock album which is also classic for its genre although it didn't have a great success. After seven years of silence Dare changed their line up , Darren Wharton decided to start producing Dare's albums in his own studio from this point on. In 1998 Calm Before the Storm was released with a new sound of unique classic rock with balanced electric and acoustic gutitars and a multilayered production . In 2001 their next album Belief was released with a major change in the band's sound into more atmospheric classic rock along with celtic inlfluences . Dare established a really unique and trademark sound along with very emotional lyrics . In 2004 Dare released Beneath the Shining Wate" with a darkier and more sentimental laid back sound than Belief which was followed by a live DVD release Power of Nature: Live in Munich.
One of the most famous former members of Dare is Brian Cox in an Episode of Carpool (available on iTunes and Youtube he told Robert Llewellyn he joined because he lived up the road from Darren and left because they had a fight on tour in Berlin.

The Fire
Dare Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Listen the wind is calling
To the dangerzone beyond the light
And suddenly we are falling
But there ain't no stopping us now
I don't know if I'll be back tonight
And now all the wheels are turning
I'll think of the words we never said
And deep in my heart it's burning
But there is no stopping it now
We're gonna make it somehow
You wait tonight
And we're waiting for the light
Into the fire we will run
Into the sound of distant drums
When you're walking alone in a dream
On a highway to nowhere
Nowhere tonight
I can't stand the heat 'cause we're getting too close
The temperature's rising higher
But the fear has gone and we've got to go on
Never true was the fire
But there ain't no stopping us now
We're gonna make it somehow
You wait tonight
And we're waiting for the light
Into the fire we will run
Into the sound of distant drums
When you're walking alone in a dream
On a highway to nowhere
Into the fire we will run
Into the sound of distant drums
When you're walking alone in a dream
On a highway to nowhere
Nowhere tonight
Into the fire we will run
Into the sound of chest and drum
When you're walking alone in a dream
On a highway to nowhere
Into the fire we will run
Into the sound of chest and drum
When you're walking alone in a dream
On a highway to nowhere
Into the fire
Into the fire we will run
Into the sound of chest and drum (into the fire)
Into the fire we will run
Into the sound of chest and drum
The lyrics of the song "Into The Fire" by Dare depict a sense of adventure and bravery in the face of danger. The opening lines set the tone of the song, with the singer standing alone in the night, listening to the wind that is calling them to the danger zone beyond the light. There's a sense of urgency and excitement as the singer falls into this unknown territory, but they're not afraid because they believe that there ain't no stopping them now. They're determined to make it through no matter what.
As the song progresses, the lyrics reveal that the singer is battling with their own thoughts and emotions. They're unsure of whether they'll make it through the night, and they're haunted by the words they never spoke. But despite these doubts and fears, there's a burning desire in their heart that's driving them forward. They're not going to let anything hold them back.
Ultimately, the chorus of the song serves as a rallying cry for the singer and anyone who listens to it. They will run into the fire, into the sound of distant drums, and on a highway to nowhere. It's a declaration that they will face whatever comes their way head-on and come out on the other side.
Overall, "Into The Fire" by Dare is a powerful anthem of perseverance and determination in the face of uncertainty and fear.
Line by Line Meaning
We're standing alone inside the night
We find ourselves in a lonely darkness
Listen the wind is calling
We hear the wind beckoning us forward
To the dangerzone beyond the light
We are being drawn to a place of risk and unknown
And suddenly we are falling
Our journey has begun, and we are descending into the unknown
But there ain't no stopping us now
There is nothing that can prevent us from continuing
I don't know if I'll be back tonight
I am unsure if I will return from this journey
It's just a machine inside of my head
The driving force behind our actions is controlled by our thoughts
And now all the wheels are turning
Our plans are in motion, and we cannot halt our progress
I'll think of the words we never said
Regret for unspoken words weighs heavily on my mind
And deep in my heart it's burning
There is a passion and desire within me that cannot be quenched
We're gonna make it somehow
We will find a way to succeed despite the odds against us
You wait tonight
We will prove ourselves worthy when the night comes
And we're waiting for the light
We are anticipating the bright future that lies ahead
Into the fire we will run
We will charge forward fearlessly
Into the sound of distant drums
We will march towards a formidable foe
When you're walking alone in a dream
When we are lost in our thoughts and unsure of reality
On a highway to nowhere
Traveling aimlessly without a clear destination
Nowhere tonight
We do not know where we will end up in the darkness
I can't stand the heat 'cause we're getting too close
The danger we face is becoming more intense and overwhelming
The temperature's rising higher
The pressure and intensity are increasing
But the fear has gone and we've got to go on
We have overcome our fear and must continue onward
Never true was the fire
The danger we face is not to be underestimated
Into the sound of chest and drum
We march forward with a rhythmic heartbeat
