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.

Sing Me Away
Night Ranger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes my hours they turn into days
I dream of a girl I once knew as a schoolboy
She was the one who could sing me away
But she is a long ways away
And I want to be with her today
I'll think of a way I can get back
Sing me away
Sing me away
Oh oh oh oh
Sing me away
Sing me away
What do you see when you look in the mirror
I see a face from the past it's so clear
What do you hear when I sing you forever
A song that will last for a million years, (oh oh oh oh)
But I am a long ways away
I want to be with you today
I’ll think of a way I can get back
Oh gonna know the way back home
Sing me away
Sing me away, oh oh oh oh
Sing me away
Sing me away, oh
Sing me away
Sing me away oh oh
Sing me away
Sing me away, oh I’m gonna know the way back home
Sing me away
Sing me away, Sing me away, yeah
Sing me away
Sing me away, Sing me away, (ay)
The song 'Sing Me Away' by Night Ranger is an exquisitely beautiful and emotional song that talks about a person's yearning to be with his significant other. The lyrics of the song describe the inner turmoil of the singer who is lost in a world of memories, dreaming of the girl he once knew. The singer reminisces about the times when he was in love with a girl who had the power to take him away with her music. He sits and dreams for hours and wishes that he could be with her again. Despite being aware of the distance between them, he still hopes to find his way back to her.
The chorus of the song, "Sing me away, oh oh oh oh, sing me away," represents the singer's desire for his love's music to take him away from his current situation into a world where he can be with the girl he loves. The second verse of the song asks the audience what they see when they look in the mirror, which is an introspective question. The lyrics also suggest that the singer sees a face from the past, which could be interpreted as his love interest.
Overall, the song 'Sing Me Away' is a perfect representation of the emotions of longing and nostalgia. The singer's tender voice and the soulful melody of the song make it an engaging and evocative hit.

Talent, live without any help from auto tune. That’s a drummer singing lead, with harmony while carrying the time for the song. That doesn’t just happen....it takes practice, a lot of it.🎼🎶🤘😎
Dave Morse
Calm the fuck down. This song has a click track all over it.
Geoff Sullivan
@Dave Morse ok dude. No need for nasty language.
Gary Rollins

When within one band you can have a valid argument about 1. who is the best guitar player, and it's between Jeff Watson and Brad Gillis; and 2. who is the best singer, and it's between Jack Blades and Kelly Keagy, you know they have just a stupid amount of talent. It's ridiculous how good they are.
Brian Ezell
Kelly Keagy - best singer

Brad Gillis was with Ozzy in 1982?
Ray Purdue
I seen this band in 1983 at a little amphitheater in Evansville Indiana. They blew me away with their talent. It sounded like I was in a studio. It's one that I will never forget for sure.
