Former Angel keyboardist Gregg Giuffria was going to stage his comeback under the Angel banner, however former members of the band convinced him to use a different moniker. Giuffria named the new band after himself and recruited David Glen Eisley (vocals), Craig Goldy (ex-Rough Cutt, guitar), Rick Bozzo (bass) and Alan Krigger (drums). Bozzo would be replaced by Quiet Riot's Chuck Wright before recoding of the debut commenced. The self-titled debut album was an almost technically perfect recording, spawning the Top 20 hit "Call To The Heart" and turning the band members into stars in America while touring behind the newly reformed Deep Purple.
After the tour Goldy and Wright both left the band - Goldy would join Diver before moving on to Dio. Lanny Cordola was brought in on guitar and David Sikes took over bass duties for the second release Silk + Steel. Even though the new album followed in its predecessor's footsteps, sales were poor and the band was quickly dropped from their record label in 1987.
Kiss' Gene Simmons showed interest in signing the band that now included Giuffria, Cordola, Wright and Ken Mary on drums. However Simmons insisted on a name change, and thus House Of Lords was born.
Heartache
Giuffria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreams chased and lost in a second square
How was I to ever know, all that shines, isn't gold
Bright lights on the lonely load, and I'm missing you
And it's my heartache, my heartache, my heartache now
My heartache, my heartache now
Now I long for the aging past to bring you home
Every breath, another song, just regrets I did you wrong
A fool's apology and now you're gone, and I'm on my own
And it's my heartache, my heartache, my heartache now
My heartache, my heartache, my heartache now
My heartache, my heartache now
Oh, ah, I'm missing you. Oh, I need you, oh I need you
Solo
And it's my heartache, my heartache, my heartache now
My heartache, my heartache, my heartache now
My heartache, my heartache, my heartache now
My heartache, my heartache now
The lyrics of Giuffria's song "Heartache" talk about regret and longing for a past love. The singer left their partner a long time ago to pursue their dreams, but they now realize that they have lost something valuable in the process. They understand that not everything that glitters is gold and that their pursuit of bright lights and success on their own has left them feeling empty and alone. They sing of their heartache and the pain of losing their loved one, realizing that they were a fool for not cherishing what they had.
The second verse speaks of how the singer's life has been full of regrets since their relationship ended. They feel that they moved too fast and were too focused on their own goals rather than nurturing their relationship. The singer longs for the past and wishes they could undo their mistake and bring their partner home. The lyrics convey a sense of helplessness and desperation, as the singer knows that their apology cannot bring their partner back, and they are now on their own, feeling the weight of their heartache.
Line by Line Meaning
I left you long ago, my life was mine alone
I ended our relationship a while back and chose to pursue my own interests.
Dreams chased and lost in a second square
In a very short span of time, I had dreams that I pursued and yet failed to achieve.
How was I to ever know, all that shines, isn't gold
I couldn't have foreseen that not everything that appears attractive would bring me happiness.
Bright lights on the lonely load, and I'm missing you
Despite being surrounded by attention and success, I feel alone without you and wish you were here.
Was too short and moved too fast, so far ahead I finished last
Our time together was brief and rushed, and I ended up losing in the end.
Now I long for the aging past to bring you home
I yearn for the days gone by when you were around and wish we could go back to that time.
Every breath, another song, just regrets I did you wrong
Every moment reminds me of my mistakes and how I hurt you.
A fool's apology and now you're gone, and I'm on my own
I tried to make it up to you, but it was too little too late, and now I am alone.
Oh, ah, I'm missing you. Oh, I need you, oh I need you
I am consumed by thoughts of you and desperately miss and need you.
Solo
An instrumental break in the song.
And it's my heartache, my heartache, my heartache now
My pain and sadness are overwhelming.
My heartache, my heartache, my heartache now
My suffering is persistent and intense.
My heartache, my heartache now
I am experiencing great emotional pain and distress.
