The band's eponymous debut in 1988 sold over a million copies on the strength of singles like "Seventeen" and the ballad "Headed for a Heartbreak”. Winger’s second album, 1990's “In The Heart Of The Young”, was slightly more melodic and showed a more mature and technical approach to the songs. It reached an equal success, selling over a million copies and featuring the hit power-ballad "Miles Away". Unfortunately the band didn't outlast the post-alternative pop-metal backlash and the group faded away after the release of the critically acclaimed 1993 album “Pull”.
After Winger went their separate ways, Kip decided to pursue a solo career. He started writing his own songs in a different style than to his previous band and his first album "Thisconversationseemslikeadream" was released in 1997, reflecting his new approach to songwriting with a style more akin to Peter Gabriel's music rather than to 80’s Hard Rock.
An acoustic album of past favourites, "Down Incognito" was later released in 1999. Winger followed it with his second studio solo album, 2000's "Songs from the Ocean Floor", labelled as “Masterpiece” by several music critics around the world. After another acoustic solo tour Kip started to become involved in several new projects including writing music for movies, singing for Alan Parsons and of course the very successful Winger reunion that materialized in 2006 with the release of "IV" and the subsequent world tour.
Now Kip Winger is back with his new solo album "From the Moon to the Sun": a true career defining statement and, once again, another cd which witnesses the creative evolution of the American composer.
“I am an artist that will continue to push the envelope into the direction that my ear and abilities are taking me, with no compromise”, says Kip, adding “I worked hard to make this record my best yet. For sure it is musically very diverse… Hence the title , From the Moon to the Sun".
The music offered on the record is truly a flow that has no boundaries, from the fresh rock approach of songs like “Every Story Told”, “Nothing” or “Reason To Believe”, to the Pop sensibilities of “Where Will You Go” and “California”, to the acoustic mood of “Pages and Pages” and “In Your Eyes Another Life”, down to the unbelievable instrumental piece “Ghosts”, “From the Moon to the Sun” brings the listener to a journey in a kaleidoscope of different moods.
The album sees also musical contributions from Rod Morgenstein and Ken Mary on drums, Andy Timmons and Rob Eberhard Young on guitar, Alan Pasqua on piano, Cenk Eroglu on songwriting, keyboards and guitars.
Easy Come Easy Go
Kip Winger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's nothin' that strong, can't break your heart, easy come easy go
And the only only only way to find it
Is if you're not diggin' too deep, though it's easier said than done
You've got to feel it in your blood, play the game like you've already won
Easy come easy go, this won't break my heart, don't ya know
Sometimes high, sometimes low, easy come easy go
You fell in a trap that won't let you win, you try again and again
You let the heat burn your feet, baby try to understand
That you'll only only only own it when you say
Easy come easy go, this won't break my heart, don't ya know
Sometimes high, sometimes low, easy come easy go
So if you start to feel like there's no time to waste, baby try to let go
There's nothin' so strong, can't break your heart
Sometimes high, sometimes low
And you'll only only only own it when you say
Easy come easy go, this won't break my heart, don't ya know
Sometimes high, sometimes low, easy come easy go
Sometimes high, sometimes low, easy come easy go
(Easy come easy go) If you're not diggin' too deep
Easy come, easy go (easy come easy go)
The lyrics of "Easy Come Easy Go" by Kip Winger convey a message of resilience and letting go of negativity. The song encourages the listener to not get too caught up in the stresses of life and to remember that nothing is too strong to break their heart. By "not digging too deep," it suggests that it is easier to manage struggles when one does not overthink or overanalyze their problems. Instead, the song suggests that it is important to play the game of life like you have already won and it is in one's blood. In other words, by embracing a positive mindset, they will see positive outcomes.
The song brings a message of hope and inspiration to its listeners. The lyrics speak to the idea of perseverance and determination, with lines such as "you try again and again," which implies that even when times are tough, you should keep moving forward. The repetition of "sometimes high, sometimes low" reinforces the idea that life is unpredictable and that there will be ups and downs. However, the chorus encourages the listener to own their life and to understand that they can control how they react to life's ups and downs.

@bwilk2001
It may seem a tad cheesy, but, this song and all the other hair or glam bands always kept it upbeat, you can't help but be in a good mood listening to this. Most of the newer alternative and whatever is out now is almost depressing, and i'm 26, when all this hair and glam was out i was between being a toddler and being in elementary school. 80's all the way!!!!
