To record the album, the band played live dates from November 9-21 1983 with the Westwood One Mobile Facility. Two of the dates, November 14 and 15 at San Jose, CA were videotaped by MTV. This footage was aired at least once but never released on official videotapes or DVDs. A full concert was also aired on the radio as a Westwood One Broadcast. Original tracks that didn’t make the HSAS “Through The Fire” album include, Tough Enough, Through The Eyes Of Love, Hope and Fear, Since You Came, and What Will Never Be.
Sammy Hagar and Neal Schon were later bandmates in Planet Us. Schon has also played with Hagar as a solo artist. Schon and Michael Shrieve have also both played in Santana.
Missing you
HSAS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I remember the last
I can't forget the good times, baby
Why have they gone so fast
And I'll always remember
How good you make me feel
Yes, and I always thought if you left me, huh
But its hard to describe how I'm missing you
Girl I'm not tryin' to hide I've been missing you
Everyday
We had big plans
But they kinda fell through
Now for the rest of my life, babe
I'll be missing you
Sometimes I feel so empty
Like there's a hole inside
And I can't forget you baby
God knows I've tried
But it's hard to describe how I'm missing you
Girl I'm not trying to hide, I've been missing you
When you look in my eyes, you'll see I'm missing you, yeah
Well turn your back and walk away
But just don't hang up on me that way
And understand that we did the best we could, oh
And if I could have you, you know that I would
'Cause girl, I've been missing you
Yeah, yeah, well turn your back and walk away, baby
But just don't hang up on me that way, no
And understand that we did the best we could, oh
And if I could have you, you know I would
Girl, I've been missing you
I've been missing you, woah
Missing you
Yeah, I've been missing you, missing you
And I'm not trying to hide
I've been missing you
HSAS's "Missing You" is a song that expresses the emotions of the singer after their lover leaves them. The lyrics describe the feelings of emptiness and the inability to fill a hole inside that the singer experiences. The song starts by talking about how the singer is unable to forget the good memories that they shared with their lover and how fast they are gone. They reminisce about how their lover made them feel and how they never thought they would feel this way if they left.
However, the chorus of the song reflects the real feelings of the singer. They are finding it hard to explain how much they miss their lover, and they have not been able to hide it. The feeling of missing the one they loved has become a constant in their life, and all the plans they had made with them have fallen through. They accept that for the rest of their life, they will always be missing them.
In the bridge of the song, the singer pleads for their lover not to leave them hanging, and despite the situation, they believe that they did their best in the relationship. They express their unconditional love and how they would have done anything to make things right. The song ends with the singer continuously saying they miss their lover, reflecting the depth of emotions that they are feeling.

I remember the first time
I can recall the first time we met and the joy I felt
And I remember the last
I can remember the last time we were together, and it's hard to forget
I can't forget the good times, baby
I still remember all the great memories we had together and can't help but think about them
Why have they gone so fast
It's a shame that those happy moments were so fleeting and are now gone
And I'll always remember
You will always be on my mind
How good you make me feel
I remember the way you made me feel so happy, complete and loved
Yes, and I always thought if you left me, huh
I never thought that I would miss you this much if you ever left
Well it was no big deal
I used to think that it wouldn't be too bad if we parted ways, but now I see how much I need you
But its hard to describe how I'm missing you
It's difficult to put into words how much I long for you and miss you
Girl I'm not tryin' to hide I've been missing you
I'm not pretending to be okay or over you, I really and truly miss you
We had big plans
We had high hopes for our future together
But they kinda fell through
Our plans and dreams for the future didn't work out the way we had hoped
Now for the rest of my life, babe
I'll be living with the feeling of missing you and wishing things had gone differently
Sometimes I feel so empty
There's a void within me that can't be filled without you
Like there's a hole inside
Something is missing, that hole is there after you left me
And I can't forget you baby
No matter how hard I try, I just can't forget about you
God knows I've tried
I did my best to move on, but I can't help still missing you
When you look in my eyes, you'll see I'm missing you, yeah
My eyes reflect the pain of missing you every day
Well turn your back and walk away
If you want to walk away from me and not be with me, then that's your choice
But just don't hang up on me that way
Don't just abruptly cut off the relationship without giving me closure
And understand that we did the best we could, oh
We couldn't have done anything differently, given the circumstances and despite our best efforts
And if I could have you, you know that I would
If it were possible, I would do anything to have you back in my life
Girl, I've been missing you
No one can replace you and the memories we had together, and I miss you every day
Yeah, yeah, well turn your back and walk away, baby
If ending things is truly what you want, then you have to do what makes you happy.
Missing you
I can never stop missing you.
Yeah, I've been missing you, missing you
I've been missing you all this time, it never gets better.
And I'm not trying to hide
I'm being honest about my feelings and my need for you.
I've been missing you
Nothing has shaken my love for you.

@celticattack
The level of excellence, spirit and arrangement of the rock music that was recorrded in the 80's will never be matched again. Those times were like landing on the moon, it was done and only the first time was it exciting. The tunes were written with whole body and soul effort, not just thrown out there to the masses for a 2 month radio play and then die. The performers were professional and exicitng, they put on a show and were bigger than life when you went to see them. I too miss those days...
