In 1976 at the age of 17 she became one of the founding members of the legendary teenage all-female hard rock band The Runaways. There she played lead guitar.
After the group folded in 1979, she began a solo career. Her guitar playing was well respected amongst her peers, both when she was a member of The Runaways and as a solo act. When she had the material to back her up, Ford was inarguably capable of rocking out aggressively and assertively, and more times than not, better than the best of her male counterparts. Her first two albums, Out for Blood and Dancin' on the Edge were relatively successful, and in 1985, Ford was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Performance for "Gotta Let Go", along with Wendy O. Williams and Pia Zadora. However the musical genre of "arena metal rock" had already crested and was now beginning its decline in the second half of the 1980s.
Nothing was heard from Ford for the next four years; a follow-up to Dancin' on the Edge, titled The Bride Wore Black, was abandoned and never released, as Ford switched from Mercury Records to RCA Records. By the time Ford returned again, the lighter pop-metal she had long favored had broken through to mainstream audiences, which set the stage for her most commercially successful album, 1988's Lita. With Sharon Osbourne as her manager, and slickly produced by Mike Chapman, the album featured Ford's first commercial hit, the #12 "Kiss Me Deadly". Its follow-up ballad, a duet with Ozzy Osbourne entitled "Close My Eyes Forever", provided both artists with their first Top Ten single.
Lita Ford is back with a vengeance! Her new album Wicked Wonderland is due for release October 6th 2009. More information can be found on her My Space profile: Lita Ford Official My Space Profile
Sacred
Lita Ford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and not enough
But the Hallmark cards say all that stuff
I just wanted to say you're so special, so sacred to me
There's not a big enough word
to tell you how I feel
I'd spend eternity showing you what you mean to me
You're so sacred to me
When I look in your eyes I see so much
I feel your heartbeat when we touch
You are my best friend, my angel
So sacred to me
There's not a big enough word
So I wrote this song for you
I'd spend eternity loving you faithfully
You're so sacred,
You're so sacred to me
Sacred sacred
You're so sacred to me
You're the answer to me prayers
My every fantasy
My soul is yours eternally
My love matched only by my loyalty
My love for you God knows I'd die for you
The first stanza of the song, "Til death do us part and not enough. But the Hallmark cards say all that stuff. I just wanted to say you're so special, so sacred to me," talks about the societal norms of love and relationships. While these norms may say that until death, two people will be together, it's not enough for the singer. She wants to express her love for her partner and make them understand how sacred their relationship is to her.
The second verse "When I look in your eyes I see so much, I feel your heartbeat when we touch. You are my best friend, my angel. So sacred to me," talks about how the singer feels when she looks at her partner. She sees the love between them, feels the passion when they touch and considers her partner her angel. She believes that their relationship is divine and should be cherished as it's something that can't be put into words.
The singer goes on to say that there isn't a big enough word to convey what she feels for her partner, so she wrote this song to express the depth of her love. She ends the song by saying, "My love for you God knows I'd die for you," which indicates that her love is selfless and goes far beyond just words.
