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.
Out of the blue
Giuffria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somebody calls to me, go to the light.
Giving no name, showing no face.
My heart beats at frightning paces.
Out of the blue and into a dream.
Somebody watches me.
Open my eyes and stare at the wall.
Those tiny little footsteps at the end of the hall.
I'm too far gone.
I'm too far gone.
Out of the blue and into the black.
Dark as my room may, they never come back.
When breaking the silence, the voices they call.
It's those tiny little footsteps at the end of the hall.
Come to steal me away, away.
I'm too far gone.
I'm too far gone.
I'm too far gone.
Too far gone. Tell me I'm dreaming.
I'm too far gone.
I'm too far gone.
I'm too far gone.
I'm too far gone.
The lyrics of Giuffria's song "Out of the Blue" describe a dream-like experience where the singer feels like they are being called to the light by someone they can't name or see. The opening lines create a sense of mystery and intrigue, painting a picture of a deep, dark night where anything could happen. The use of the phrase "out of the blue" suggests that this experience has come unexpectedly and suddenly, adding to the surreal feeling of the lyrics.
As the song continues, the singer describes feeling frightened and hearing small footsteps in the night. They seem to feel like they are being taken away from their reality and are unable to escape. The repeated line "I'm too far gone" suggests a feeling of powerlessness and a sense of being swept away by forces beyond their control. The use of the word "dream" in the second verse adds to the otherworldly feeling of the song and perhaps implies that the experience is not entirely real.
