1. 'Eruption' was formed in 1974 in London by vocalist Precious Wilson, lead guitarist Greg Perrineau, bassist Morgan Perrineau, keyboardist Gerry Williams, and drummer Eric Kingsley. Wilson was born in Jamaica and she moved with her family to Great Britain at the age of seven. The other members of the band came from different parts of the Caribbean and Africa. In 1975, their winning of an RCA Soul Search Contest in England brought them a record deal and their first single "Let Me Take Your Back in Time" (1976) figured prominently in the soul charts. In 1977, Boney M.'s producer Frank Farian took Eruption under his wing and signed the group with Germany-based Hansa Records. Their 1978 cover of "I Can't Stand the Rain" was a big hit internationally, reaching number five in Britain and number 18 in the U.S. (it was their only U.S. Top 40 entry). The success was sealed with "One Way Ticket," which went to number nine in the U.K. the following year. Precious Wilson left the group in 1979 to pursue a solo career and she was replaced with Kim Davies. Eruption disbanded in the mid-'80s and Wilson is the only member of the original lineup who is still active. Though successful as a solo artist, she sometimes tours under the name Eruption with her new group.
2. ERUPTION is a Slovene Thrash metal band that unites the legacy of speed, thrash and classic metal, forming it into their own unique sound. The band was formed in late 2004. They are known for menacing riffs, hard hitting beats, soaring vocals and killer live shows!
3. Another band called "Eruption" was a German avantgarde band founded by Conrad Schnitzler. Eruption performed free-form, improvisational, experimental music, some of which resembles industrial music. A few pieces do have discernible melodies and/or strong rhythmic elements, at times resembling Conrad Schnitzler's earlier work with Tangerine Dream on their Electronic Meditation album. Eruption is notable more as an incubator for later, highly successful Krautrock/Kosmische Musik bands and for the influence the various musicians had on one another than for their releases, which came more than 35 years after the music was recorded.The self-titled album, recordeded in 1970 featured the trio of Freudigmann, Schnitzler and Wolfgang Siedel and was a limited released on the Qbico label.

The Way We Were
Eruption Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Could we?
Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were

The singer talks about the way things used to be, and how the memories of the past bring a sense of nostalgia. The first verse talks about how memories light up the corners of our minds, and how the memories they conjure up are misty, and water-colored. The second line talks about how memories are scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind, and how these smiles were given to one another for the way things used to be.
The second verse poses a question, asking whether things were really so simple back then, or if time has rewritten every line. The verse ends with the question of whether, if given the chance to relive it all again, we would or could. The final verse talks about how memories can be both beautiful and painful, and how we choose to remember the laughter. It ends with the final refrain, "The way we were, the way we were."
Overall, the song is a reflection on the past and how we remember it. It's a poignant reminder that, despite the pain and imperfections of the past, there were still moments of joy and laughter that we can hold on to.
Line by Line Meaning
Memories light the corners of my mind
I have fond memories that come to mind from time to time
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
I remember moments from the past, seen through a dream-like, blurry lens
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
There are snapshots in my mind of times we were happy together
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were
Our happiness came from the simple joy of being with each other
Can it be that it was all so simple then
I wonder if things were really that easy or if I am just remembering the good parts
Or has time rewritten every line
Maybe the way I remember things is not exactly how they happened in reality
If we had the chance to do it all again
I sometimes wonder if it would be possible to go back and relive those memories
Tell me, would we?
I wonder if we would choose to relive those moments again
Could we?
I am not sure if it would be possible to recreate those memories exactly as they were
Memories may be beautiful and yet
Even though memories can be wonderful to revisit, they can also be bittersweet
What's too painful to remember
Sometimes there are memories that are too difficult or sad to recall
We simply choose to forget
To avoid these painful memories, we choose not to think about them
So it's the laughter we will remember
Instead, we focus on the happy moments and the times we laughed together
Whenever we remember
Whenever we bring to mind the way we were
The way we were
The happy times we shared together
