Double Vision
Foreigner Lyrics

Feeling down n' dirty, feeling kinda mean
I've been from one to another extreme
This time I had a good time, ain't got time to wait
I want to stick around till I can't see straight

Fill my eyes with that double vision, no disguise for that double vision
Ooh, when it gets through to me, it's always new to me
My double vision gets the best of me

Never do more than I really need

My mind is racing, but my body's in the lead
Tonight's the night, I'm gonna push it to the limit
I live all of my years in a single minute

Fill my eyes with that double vision, no disguise for that double vision
Ooh, when it gets through to me, it's always new to me
My double vision always seems to get the best of me, the best of me, yeah

Ooh, double vision, I need my double vision
It takes me out of my head, takin' me out of my head
I get my double vision, oh, seeing double double
Oh, I have double vision, (oh double vision) yeah
Oh I'm getting double vision

One of those amazing rock songs that shows ya that "softer" rock bands like Foreigner can blast out hard rock when they want to!

Before "4" , I don't think anybody thought of Foreigner as a "soft-rock" band.

@tryithere Especially back in the day ! Lou Gramm was an amazing singer , singing in the late 70's those harder rock songs .He was and is an amazing singer ! He brought so much emotion when he sang those songs ! The females were crazy over him ! Lol.

Most of their songs are pretty hard.

Maria boulukos

YEA , they didn't start out as a soft rock band more or less. But that is the way some of the band members wanted to go , and probably their record company. I think there's a interview on YouTube with Lou Gramm saying that wasn't always his first choice .( if you know what I mean) But I always loved the original foreigner no matter what they sing.

Late 70's /early 80's with Foreigner, Boston, Triumph, Rush, Journey, Styx, Angel, Kansas, Queen, KISS, Van Halen, Aerosmith, REO Speedwagon, Sammy Hagar and April Wine. Yeah, We didn't realize then that we were witnessing the greatest time in Rock music history and it would never be this good ever again. 40 years later these bands are still getting more airplay on radio than new songs do. That is a testament to just how good this era of music was.

I would argue the late 60s early 70s was a much better and more influential time for music. Not that the bands you mentioned aren't rock Gods but I'll take Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, etc etc over 70s-80s hands

No Auto-tune here! Just pure talent! This is how it's done boys and girls!😎✌️❤️

Thomas Baird

23w↑1

@CajunMane the main issue with auto tune isn't light-use for the recorded track, but if a band can't record without it, then the live performances are painful. Musicians can get lazy because they don't "need" it to make a great recording. When you had to play bars and small clubs to get famous - no auto tune there - and when you finally get big, it was because you worked for it - AND it sounds like it live.

This is the very first song I ever remember hearing on the radio. I was a child in 1978 in the back of the car while we were driving to my grandmother's house to see my cousins who had just arrived and I was so excited. I was impressed by the instrumental accompaniment during the chorus.

@A Parks Dont forget the medications Lou had to take afterwards for his brain tumor operation (April 1997) Though the doctors scaled back on much of it over the years, according to his book (Juke Box Hero, my Five decades in Rock'n Roll) some medication he will have to take the rest of his life. This part isnt mentioned in his book but Lou revealed in a different interview a bit afterwards, he developed type 2 diabetes, but said he had it under control and had a workout regimen, (though he worked out already for years) with a trainer. Before he retired he was singing much better than he did in the early 2000s.

These guys created this music, so they have the best sound, but the current lineup does it justice.Sax and guitar player Tom Gimble retired recently, and he has been with Foreigner for 27 years. Jeff Pilson, formerly from 80s rock band Dokken and other lesser known bands does a great job on base guitar, acoustic and electric gutar along with vocals! Look at the 2012 version of Double Vision and Urgent along with the unplugged versions of these famous songs....

A Parks

He went solo and left them behind. At least the newer singer does what he can to try to sound similar to the original songs, Lou didn't take care of himself and has heart problems these days.

@Basseck - After shooting a number of promos for their first three albums, it is indeed a mystery why they were negligent with Foreigner 4. A promo for "Urgent " was shot and then we had to deal with those lousy live version promos. How I hated them because it was tough for Lou Gramm to sing them well on stage.
