1) Guardian was formed in 1982 by bassist David Bach, vocalist Paul Cawley, and and drummer, Rikk Hart. They originally named themselves "Fusion" and added David Caro on guitars. They were signed to Enigma records in 1985 and changed their name to Gardian, soon after replaced Caro with Tony Palacios on guitar. They released two demos under the Gardian name called Fusion (released 1984) and Voyager (released 1987). Their debut album "First Watch" was released in 1989 under the final name change "Guardian", but shortly after Cawley and Hart left the band due to the rigors of non-stop touring.
In 1990, Cawley was replaced by Jamie Rowe (formerly of "Tempest") as the new vocalist and Hart was replaced by Karl Ney on drums. This lineup remained consistant throughout their last English studio album "Bottle Rocket" in 1997. However, in 2002 Guardian released "Dime", their 3rd Spanish effort, yet with all new material. David Bach could not be a part of this album due to time constraints. Their 1993 album "Miracle Mile" was their most popular commercially successful album.
In the words of Jamie Rowe, "There will be another Guardian album." Let's hope so.

The Rain
Guardian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the blues have taken their toll;
and it looks like there's nowhere for
me to go. I feel the passion, I feel
pain and it looks like I'm gonna lose
again, so tell me ... whose gonna
stop the rain? It's gonna be You
Oh Lord
dream; a storm was raging down
on me. A fear so strong took ahold
of my soul; felt so weak I couldn't
take anymore; I couldn't take
anymore.
I saw a Man, eyes like fire; storm
rolled back with a wave of His
Power. Love lifted me higher; fear
fell away with the touch of His
Hand.
CHORUS I:
Livin' on faith; Never say never;
standing tall when the rain comes
down; gotta make it thru the stormy
weather; standing tall when the
rain comes down
I'm so glad what He's done for me;
took away my blues so easily.
Storms are gonna come and you
know it's a fact; but the Power of
the Lord is gonna make you stand
Love lifted me; fear fell away with
The touch of His hand
CHORUS I
CHORUS II:
Livin' on Faith ... Never Say never;
Standing toll when the rain comes
down. Gonna give it all, now and
forever; standing tall when the rain
comes down
The storm keeps raging down on
Me, but I will rise above, I'll rise
above. Love is Ilifting me higher; His
love has lifted me higher. So I'll be
standing when the rain comes down.
Love lifted me; fear fell away with
The touch of His hand
CHORUS I
CHORUS II
Psalm 18:2-18 / 1 John 4:17- 18
The lyrics of Guardian's song The Rain express a feeling of being down and cold, and from the opening lines, it is evident that the singer is going through a difficult time. The blues have taken their toll, and it seems like nowhere to go. The chorus states the singer's desire for someone to stop the rain, and it goes back to the question asked in the beginning of the song. The verses present an image of someone lost, afraid, and weak, seeking help from someone with the power to take away their fears and lift them higher. The singer sees a man with eyes like fire who has the power to roll back the storm and lift them higher. The touch of this man's hand takes away their fears, and they are filled with a renewed sense of strength to stand tall when the rain comes down.
The song is not just about weathering difficult times; it is a song of faith and hope. It talks about living on faith and never giving up, as the power of the Lord will always make you stand. The song takes inspiration from Psalm 18:2-18 and 1 John 4:17- 18, which emphasize the love of God and the belief in His power to protect and save us.
