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.

What Does It Take?
Guardian Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stood, you stayed in your chair
You didn't get it, you even looked put out
But I had no doubt
You'd see the change and someday do the same
That was quite a while ago

The days are getting shorter
They're expecting record lows

If you could hear me pray tonight
Would you be angry or surprised
To hear your name announced
Followed by a pause or even tears
Like I've done for all these years

The days are getting shorter
I suspect it's gonna snow

What does it take to make you see
The love inside of me?
What does it take to make you see
The truth that I believe?
What does it take to make you see
The pain it's causing me?
Why can't you see?

The days are getting shorter
But I won't surrender hope

What does it take to make you see
The love I have in me
What does it take to make you see
The truth that I believe
Is there stone I've left unturned?
Is there some way I've not explored?

What does it take to shake your world?
To turn you to my Lord?

Overall Meaning

In the song "What Does It Take?" by Guardian, the singer appears to be in a position of being unrequited in love. The first verse sees the singer trying to convince the person they love to see the good in them and understand how they can change to be loved back. The second verse sees the singer turning to prayer, asking God to make the person they love see them in a way that they haven't before. The chorus is particularly potent, with the singer asking what it takes to make this person see the love inside them, the truth they believe, and the pain that their lack of interest is causing them.

Overall, the song seems to be about unrequited love, the pain and frustration that comes with it, and the hope that one day the person they love will finally open up their eyes and see what's been there all along. The song lyrics are particularly poignant, as they paint a vivid picture of pain, frustration, longing, and ultimately hope.

Line by Line Meaning

I stood, you stayed in your chair
I took action, but you remained passive

You didn't get it, you even looked put out
You didn't understand, and your demeanor showed it

But I had no doubt
Despite your lack of understanding, I strongly believed

You'd see the change and someday do the same
You would eventually understand and make the same change

That was quite a while ago
This happened a long time back

If you could hear me pray tonight
If you were listening to my prayers right now

Would you be angry or surprised
How would you react? Would you be angry or caught off guard?

To hear your name announced
If I said your name out loud

Followed by a pause or even tears
Which was then met with silence or crying

Like I've done for all these years
As I've been doing for all this time

I suspect it's gonna snow
I believe it's going to snow soon
