Glass Tiger's debut album The Thin Red Line (1986) produced two hit international singles, "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" [#2 on Billboard] and "Someday," [#5 on Billboard], and featured additional singles "I Will Be There [#34 Billboard] and domestic single "You're What I Look For". The album set a record for being the fastest selling debut recording in Canadian history, going gold within weeks of its release. To date, this album has received four Platinum records in Canada and went Gold in the United States.
Glass Tiger's sophomore release Diamond Sun, spawned domestic Canadian singles "Diamond Sun," "I'm Still Searching," "My Song," and "(Watching) Worlds Crumble," and achieved Double Platinum status in Canada.
Simple Mission, their third album, was not formally released in the USA, but it went Platinum in Canada and featured the singles "Animal Heart", and the Celtic duet "My Town" with Rod Stewart. "My Town" was also featured on a special 'Back-To-Back' series compilation in the early 90's and sold through EMI-Capitol's Special Market's division.
Several of Glass Tiger's songs were co-written and produced by Bryan Adams' collaborator, Jim Vallance. In fact, Adams makes a cameo in their top single "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)". The band won three Juno Awards in 1986 and two more in 1987. They were also nominated for a Grammy Award in 1987. In late 1988, Chris McNeill (drums), a sought after session drummer joined the band, and the foursome have been touring and playing ever since.
Glass Tiger released a special DVD 'No Turning Back' in 2005, which is a special commemorative 20th Anniversary DVD collection featuring their many videos and a couple of new songs, "No Turning Back" and "Give It Away". It also features footage of the band touring in Europe supporting Tina Turner in 1987 and in Ireland performing with The Chieftains.
On June 23, 2005, Glass Tiger appeared on the NBC show Hit Me, Baby, One More Time, performing their classic hit "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)" and covering "Everything You Want" by Vertical Horizon. Although they lost the audience voting to Thelma Houston, Glass Tiger were judged the winners by online voters.
In early 2006 Glass Tiger released their first live CD, GT Live which was recorded in 2005 at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto. The band is currently working on a special TV production and is very active touring and performing, with over 50 shows a year. In 2008 lead singer Alan Frew published "The Action Sandwich", lessons from a tour bus, with his perspective and insight into the trials and tribulations of life in a rock band on the road. The band did a special support trip to visit the Canadian troops in Afghanistan in March, 2009, accompanied by many of the NHL's hockey legends.

The Rhythm Of Your Love
Glass Tiger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're standing tall, it's the end but that's where I begin
Should you decide to give your life away
Welcome to the other side it will blow your mind
And you will come around anyway
The rhythm of your love will make you bleed
The rhythm of your love is what I need
The rhythm of your love comes a tumbling down
The rhythm of your love will make you bleed
The rhythm of your love is what I need
The rhythm of your love is a golden crown
The rhythm of your love comes a tumbling down
So love takes its toll a dream you never had
Now you're moving slow see them smile, it's so sad
Oh, you gotta make up your mind
Before they steal your heart away
Man, are you in or out, up or down?
You'll live to fight another day
The rhythm of your love will make you bleed
The rhythm of your love is what I need
The rhythm of your love is a golden crown
The rhythm of your love comes a tumbling down
The rhythm of your love will make you bleed
The rhythm of your love is what I need
The rhythm of your love is a golden crown
The rhythm of your love comes a tumbling down
The rhythm of your love will make you bleed
The rhythm of your love is what I need
The rhythm of your love is a golden crown
The rhythm of your love comes a tumbling down

Listen for the sound of your heart beneath your skin
Pay attention to the beating of your heart that is within you
You're standing tall, it's the end but that's where I begin
Despite feeling like it's the end, there's still hope to start again
Should you decide to give your life away
If you choose to let go of your life and start anew
Welcome to the other side it will blow your mind
Welcoming you to a new experience that will be unexpectedly amazing
And you will come around anyway
Eventually, you will arrive at this point no matter what
The rhythm of your love will make you bleed
Your love will cause you pain and suffering
The rhythm of your love is what I need
I require the love you have and the feeling it brings
The rhythm of your love is a golden crown
The love you possess is valuable and precious
The rhythm of your love comes a tumbling down
The love you have may ultimately crumble and fall apart
So love takes its toll a dream you never had
The experience of being in love is difficult and may not be what you expected
Now you're moving slow see them smile, it's so sad
You are now struggling and others may be happy to see your downfall
Oh, you gotta make up your mind
You need to make a decision and stick to it
Before they steal your heart away
Act quickly before someone takes advantage of your love
Man, are you in or out, up or down?
You have to decide and commit to your choice
You'll live to fight another day
You can still keep going and face other challenges

I couldn't remember this song, but i remember being a young teen, and thinking this was an awesome song and vid when it was released. I just had vague memories of the hot red head dancing to the slow mo 90s vid techniques, half animation, half movement. So glad i finally found it!
