The band's first five albums sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and have sold 17 million albums total. After their success waned in the late 1980s, the band split up in 1989 and its members pursued other musical endeavours including group and solo efforts. Brad Gillis and Kelly Keagy teamed up with bassist Gary Moon and released an album without the other original band members in 1995, but the band soon re-united to release two new albums in the latter half of the decade.

End of the day
Night Ranger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too young to know or thrive
And now it looks as though we're over
One came from the South, had it hard
Yet he held on with his dream
One born with it all
But there was no hope, no, no
Oh, when you're caught up in a landslide
And everything is slipping away
You gotta hold on and fight for every moment
Make it to the end of the day
One night can change a lifetime
One word and it all goes wrong
How can this be
When there's so much more to say
Can there be hope and faith
To make it right before you let go
With every breath till the end of time
Oh, when you're caught up in a landslide
And everything is slipping away
You gotta hold on and fight for every moment
Make it to the end of the day
He bends his head in silence
She takes his hand in hers
She says, can we forgive and start all over, yeah
Oh, when you're caught up in a landslide
And everything is slipping away
You gotta hold on and fight for every moment
Make it to the end of the day
Oh, when you're caught up in a landslide
And everything is slipping away
You gotta hold on and fight for every moment
Make it to the end of the day
