1. - Dare was formed in 1985, and have released 10 albums to date, including the #48 UK single Blood from Stone.
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 band have had four appearances in the UK Singles Chart. These include The Raindance (#62, 1989), Abandon (#71, 1989), We Don't Need a Reason (#52, 1991) and Real Love (#67, 1991).
The latest Dare album, 'Road To Eden was announced by the band on 10 January 2022, with a release date by Legend Records of 1 April 2022.

Under the Sun
Dare Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Especially the things always wanted to
See the reddened sky
I long to be there where the eagles used to fly
Methods of their madness
Or so they say before they throw away the key
Is there anyone there
Chorus:
Under the sun
Where can we run
Under the sun
Where has love gone
Hear the deafening silence
While slowly losing all control of what you do
Chance would be a fine thing
A momentary loss of all thoughts
Holding back the fear
They point the finger every minute of the day
Doesn't anyone care
Won't they open the stairway for me
Chorus
Nothing lasts forever
Especially the things always wanted to
See the reddened sky
I long to be there where the eagles used to fly
Methods of their madness
Or so they say brfore they throw away the sky
Doesn't anyone care
Won't they open the stairways for me
Chorus
The lyrics of Dare's song "Under The Sun" reflect themes of loss, longing and desperation. The first two lines of the opening verse, "Nothing lasts forever, Especially the things always wanted to" convey a sense of transience and impermanence. The singer longs to escape the mundane reality of everyday life and be transported to a place where eagles used to fly. This symbolises his desire for freedom and the yearning for something more significant than his current existence.
The second verse descries the frustration and isolation felt by the singer as he contemplates the reasons behind the "methods of their madness." With lines such as "Holding back the fear, They point the finger every minute of the day, Doesn't anyone care," it is evident that the singer feels trapped and powerless to control his circumstances. The chorus of the song offers a bleak view of the world, where love is an elusive and distant memory, and there seems to be no hope of escape from the oppression of everyday life.
Overall, the song "Under The Sun" speaks to the universal human experience of longing for something more significant than our current existence. The lyrics capture the sense of frustration felt by many people as they try to navigate the challenges of life and search for meaning and purpose.
