Rob Rock started his career in 1983 when he and Chris Impellitteri joined VICE, a cover band. They released a successful demo and were together until 1985. In 1986, he joined musicians Tony MacAlpine (guitar), Tommy Aldridge (drums), and Rudy Sarzo (bass) in a project called M.A.R.S. Project Driver. The project received much critical praise, but the next year each member went a different way.
With different ways to follow, Rock decided to record an EP with Impellitteri called Relativity. However, he was already committed to another project called Joshua, so he could not continue with the band (at least for the moment.) After that, he worked on a series of projects (Angelica, Driver) which gave him knowledge of international musicians that would serve him well later.
In the early 1990s, he received a call from Chris Impellitteri to join his band again. He agreed and he went on a successful run with Impellitteri with albums: "Grin and Bear It"-1992, "Answer to the Master"-1994, "Screaming Symphony"-1996, "Eye of the Hurricane"-1998 and "Crunch"-2000, two EP`s and one live album. In 2000 he decided to pursue his own solo career and parted ways amicably. That same year, he released his first solo album called Rage of Creation. The album received much critical praise and Rock has gone on, releasing three more albums on the way.
Rock has also lent his voice to the Randy Rhoads tribute released in 2000 and to countless other projects through his career like Avantasia and Axel Rudi Pell.
In The Night
Rob Rock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just yesterday it was a dream too far to come true
I've fallen for the last time, I can see the sun it's in your eyes
I've waited for a lifetime just to have you here by my side
In the night, I feel you hold me tight
I feel my love's alive, as you're taking me through the night
Into the crossfire between body, soul, and you're mind
Emotion is a fine line, you can be deceived when you spill the wine
Blinded by a compromise, you can throw away so much time
But we can make a run for heaven now
In the night, I feel you hold me tight
I feel my love's alive, as you're taking me through the night
In your eyes I see there's no disguise and now I realize
That I finally found paradise
In the night
In the night
I've fallen for the last time
I've waited for a lifetime
Blinded by a compromise
Taking me through the night

I can't believe all the time that passed between our lives
It's hard to imagine the years that went by since we last met
Just yesterday it was a dream too far to come true
Not long ago, it seemed impossible that we could be together
I've fallen for the last time, I can see the sun it's in your eyes
I've been hurt too many times, but now I can trust you because your eyes light up with love
I've waited for a lifetime just to have you here by my side
I've been waiting for someone like you forever and now that you're here, I never want to let go
Taken for granted, taken for a ride across that line
I've been mistreated and led on, crossing boundaries I didn't want to
Into the crossfire between body, soul, and you're mind
There's a battle going on within me between my desires, emotions and logic
Emotion is a fine line, you can be deceived when you spill the wine
I have to be careful with my feelings because they can be easily manipulated and misunderstood
Blinded by a compromise, you can throw away so much time
If I settle for something that doesn't truly make me happy, I'll waste my precious time on this earth
But we can make a run for heaven now
But with you, I feel like we can achieve something incredible and live a life of bliss
In the night, I feel you hold me tight
During the night, I feel safe and loved in your embrace
I feel my love's alive, as you're taking me through the night
I can feel the strong passion and connection we have as you guide me through the night
In your eyes I see there's no disguise and now I realize
I can see the genuineness in your eyes and now I understand
That I finally found paradise
That I have finally found true happiness and contentment with you
In the night
All of these emotions and experiences are heightened during the night, when it's just us

No puedo creer que todo el tiempo que pasa entre nuestras vidas
Ayer fue un sueño demasiado lejos de hacerse realidad
He caído por última vez, puedo ver el sol está en tus ojos
He esperado toda una vida sólo para tenerte aquí a mi lado
En la noche, siento que me abrazas fuerte
Me siento vivo de mi amor, como me está tomando toda la noche
Se da por sentado, tomando el pelo a través de esa línea
En el fuego cruzado entre el cuerpo, el alma, y tú eres la mente
Emoción es una línea muy fina, usted puede ser engañado cuando se derrama el vino
Cegado por un compromiso, se puede tirar a la basura tanto tiempo
Pero podemos hacer una carrera para el cielo ahora
En la noche, siento que me abrazas fuerte
Me siento vivo de mi amor, como me está tomando toda la noche
En tus ojos veo que no hay disfraz y ahora me doy cuenta
Que finalmente encontré el paraíso
En la noche
En la noche
He caído por última vez
He esperado durante toda la vida
Cegado por un compromiso
Tomando mí a través de la noche

This singer's vocal ability and style is one of the most effortless and awesome that I've heard. He is truly gifted. For those males who sing and are looking for a vocal role model, this lead vocalist should be added to your list. Two thumbs up, Rob!!!
