Biography
In August 2006 four high school girls from Osaka, Japan started a band called SCANDAL. They started performing almost every weekend in Shiroten and later at clubs and musical venues, by doing so they became more and more recognised in all of Japan. In August 2007 Tower Records approached them, and a couple of months later they came to an agreement. In 2008 they released three singles in three consecutive months. After the release of their first mini-album, due to the low number of units Tower Records produced, SCANDAL signed a contract with Sony's daughter company Epic Records in September 2008.

Scandal is a rock band from the 1980s fronted by Patty Smyth. The band scored a hit in the US with the song “The Warrior”, which peaked at #7 in 1984. Other minor hits included “Goodbye to You” (1982 - #65 US), “Love’s Got A Line On You” (1983 - #59 US), and “Hands Tied” (1984 - #41 US).
Scandal was formed in New York City in 1981 by guitarist Zack Smith, who also wrote most of the band’s hits. The other initial members included: bassist Ivan Elias (1950-1995), guitarist Keith Mack, guitarist Jon Bon Jovi (briefly), keyboardist Benjy King, drummer Frankie LaRocka, and vocalist Patty Smyth. Thommy Price later replaced LaRocka on drums.
The band had much success early on but due to struggles within the group and their record company, it slowly dissolved—losing member after member. By the time “The Warrior” tour hit the road in 1984, all that remained of the original lineup were Smyth and Mack. Scandal broke up shortly after the tour ended in 1985. The group (minus Ivan Elias, who died of cancer in June 1995) reunited in 2004 for VH1’s Bands Reunited show and did a string of concerts on the United States East Coast culminating in a show at Irving Plaza in their home city (New York) on February 9, 2005. During the summer of 2006, the band (excluding Thommy Price) reunited again for VH1’s “We Are The 80’s” tour, playing a string of large - mainly outdoor - venues and earning critical acclaim. During the summer and fall of 2007, they toured again (this time without Zack Smith).
In July 2008, Billboard reported the upcoming release of new music by Patty Smyth and Scandal (featuring original members Keith Mack and Benjy King). At a performance in Dewey Beach, DE on August 3, 2008, Smyth indicated Scandal would be releasing a new five song EP in the near future. Scandal also performed one of their new songs, “Trust In Me”. Other new titles include “Make It Hard” and “End Of The Girl”. Patty Smyth & Scandal debuted their first single as a band (“Hard For You To Love Me”, also referred to as “Make It Hard”) in over 24 years on January 17, 2009 in Ridgefield, CT to a standing ovation. Patty Smyth stated the song will be available to purchase digitally in February 2009, with the new EP to follow shortly. However, the single has been delayed to late 2009 as the EP will expanded to a full length album according to Patty Smyth’s blog in May 2009.

Beat of a Heart
Scandal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was a little too much today
Love on the wing
Flew so high it just melted away
So sweet on the run
So little time to make you see
What can't be undone
But sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
But when the amber light
Of daylight's gone
All I want to feel
Is the beat of a heart
The street that night
Had a little too much to say
And the look in your eyes
It was a little too far away
But sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
Sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
But when the amber light
Of daylight's gone
All I want to feel
Is the beat of a heart
Just a little life ticking away
The beat of a heart
You come take me far away (Musical Break)
Sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
But when the tears are dark
And we stand as one
All I want to feel
And when the amber light
Of daylight's gone
All I want to hear
Is the beat of a heart
The beat of a heart
You come and take me far away
In "Beat of a Heart," Scandal's guitar-driven power pop sound is complemented by the heartfelt lyrics of Patty Smyth. The song tells the story of a failed relationship, with Smyth lamenting that while love seemed unstoppable at first, it ultimately proved to be ephemeral, melting away like a snowflake in the sun. The song's central message is that when everything else falls apart, all we can rely on is the beat of our heart. Smyth sings that even though love may be lost and tears may be shed, as long as she has a strong heartbeat within, she can keep pushing forward with hope for the future.
The lyrics of "Beat of a Heart" are a poignant testament to the fact that even when everything seems to be falling apart, we can still find hope and inspiration in the simple things. The song's metaphor of the "beat of a heart" is a powerful one, reminding us that as long as we are alive and breathing, we have a chance to make things right and pursue our dreams. The song is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and to the power of music to lift us up when we are feeling down.
Line by Line Meaning
The heat of the sun
Was a little too much today
The sun was too hot today.
Love on the wing
Flew so high it just melted away
The love once had has vanished.
So sweet on the run
So little time to make you see
There was not enough time to make someone see how sweet the moments were.
What can't be undone
Was maybe never meant to be
Some things that can't be undone were never meant to happen.
But sometimes a fool
Gets lucky and wins
Sometimes the innocent pay
For an old man's sin
There are times when foolish people get lucky and win. Sometimes, innocent people have to pay for the consequences of another's actions.
But when the amber light
Of daylight's gone
All I want to feel
Is the beat of a heart
When the sun has set, all that is desired is the presence of someone and their beating heart.
The street that night
Had a little too much to say
And the look in your eyes
It was a little too far away
There was too much noise on the street that night. The distance in your eyes was too far to reach.
Just a little life ticking away
The beat of a heart
You come take me far away (Musical Break)
The sound of a heart beating is a reminder of life ticking away. A request is made to be taken away from the present.
But when the tears are dark
And we stand as one
All I want to feel
And when the amber light
Of daylight's gone
All I want to hear
Is the beat of a heart
The beat of a heart
You come and take me far away
In the darkest moments and when all else fails, the only thing desired is the comfort of someone's heartbeat. A request is made to be taken away from the present.

@AgentJayZ
In 1985, I was a DJ at a hard rockin' bar. CCR, ZZ Top, Bob Seeger and Skynyrd... This was my favorite song, and I played it every night. Turned it up a bit past 10, and it was well received.
@swampy64-re5gc
Wouldn't it be great , I miss those days so much , definitely the best decade of my life , the music that fashion was just the best 🤡👍👍
@robertliddle4711
The song, her style, just scream the 80s and I miss it. She absolutely rocks.
@Serpico-official
Totally!! ❤
@AgentJayZ
In 1985, I was a DJ at a rough bar, and I played this song every night. Always cranked the amps into "yellow" for that first hit on the drums. Left it there until the song was ending. The building shook, and I loved every second of it.
@truxtc11
Patty’s just so cool. I remember being a kid and seeing her videos. I had such a huge crush on her. Lol God, the 80’s were a great time to be growing up.
