The band reached stardom during the early 1990s with hit singles like "Don't Treat Me Bad" and "All She Wrote", as well as their signature ballads "I Live My Life for You", "Love of a Lifetime", and "When I Look Into Your Eyes". At the 1992 American Music Awards, FireHouse won the award for Favorite Heavy Metal/Hard Rock New Artist; chosen over Nirvana and Alice in Chains.

Despite diminishing success in the United States as the decade progressed, the band remained very popular in Asia, mainly in countries like Japan, Thailand, and Singapore. FireHouse continued to release new material throughout the late 1990s and into the early 2000s, most of which has successfully charted in Japan. The band has also continued to tour internationally as of 2007, having participated twice in the annual Rock Never Stops Tour with other bands of the 1980s. FireHouse is estimated to have sold over 6 million albums worldwide since their debut.

In December 2004, FireHouse became the first major international rock band to play concert dates in northeast India.[7] The band's first Indian concert date was in Shillong, followed by two more dates in Dimapur, and Aizawl.[7] The band's first Indian date, in Shillong When the Maharaja of Tripura Kirit Pradyot Deb Burman invited them, took place in front of a sold out stadium crowd of over 40,000, setting a record for that city.[5] The band toured in 2005, 2006, and launched another tour in 2007 visiting states in the Midwest United States such as North Dakota and playing at several festivals including Rocklahoma.[8] In a March 2007 interview, when asked about the band's next album, guitarist Bill Leverty said "we plan on going into the studio this coming winter. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get all the songs together and record them for a spring/summer release."[2] Regarding the future of the band, C.J. Snare commented that "this has been an incredible, incredible career. To do something that you love, to be an artist, to be an entertainer and to actually go out there and have fans all over the world and be able to make a living at it. As long as that's perpetuated, I don’t see any reason to ever stop."[5]

Band members

Originally composed of vocalist C.J. Snare, guitarist Bill Leverty, drummer Michael Foster, and bassist Perry Richardson, the band has maintained all of its original members with the exception of Richardson, who departed in 2000 due to conflict. Richardson was initially replaced by Bruce Waibel, but Waibel left in 2003 to spend more time with his family. Dario Seixas was brought on board to play bass on the band's 2003 album Prime Time, but he parted ways with the band shortly after the album was released. Current bassist Allen McKenzie was given the position in 2004.[3]

Guitarist Bill Leverty and C.J. Snare have both pursued solo careers, but neither have let their solo projects interfere with the band's studio and touring efforts. Leverty has released two solo albums; Wanderlust in 2004 and Southern Exposure in 2007, and when asked if he would ever tour in support of them, he said that it would be "extremely selfish" to do so while putting the band on hold.[9] Snare has commented in several interviews that he is working on a solo album, but such an album has yet to materialize.[5] Drummer Michael Foster has participated in Leverty's solo career by playing drums on both of his albums.

I'd Do Anything
Firehouse Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Pre-chorus:]
Now it's too late to turn back I've fallen for you
There's nothing I wouldn't do

[Chorus:]
I believe I could walk on your water
I would drown in your river of love
And I know I could walk through the fire
I would burn in the flames of your heart
If I get too close to you I might hurt myself
Like a moth that flies too close to the flame
I can't help it, 'cause for your love I'd do anything

I would walk for a million miles
Just to get one step closer to you
I'd give everything that I own
Just to spend time alone with you

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
(Solo)
[Bridge:]
For your love I'd do anything
I've waited a lifetime for someone like you
There's nothing I wouldn't do

[Chorus]

Didn't know I could go the distance
I didn't realize I had the strength to endure difficulties until I met you.

I could've given up without a fight

But when I first saw you, from that moment
As soon as I laid eyes on you, my life changed forever.

You changed my life
You transformed my life for the better.

Didn't even know I had it in me
I didn't realize that I was capable of loving someone so deeply.

To care for somebody that much
To love someone so intensely.

And it scares me to think How this could be dangerous
It's frightening to consider how much I could jeopardize myself for the sake of my love for you.

Now it's too late to turn back I've fallen for you There's nothing I wouldn't do
