1) TNT is a hard rock band formed in Trondheim, Norway in 1982, by vocalist and rhythm guitarist Dag Ingebrigtsen , guitarist Ronni Lé Tekrø , bassist Steinar Eikum and drummer Morten "Diesel" Dahl . They released their self-titled debut album the same year — their only album that features Norwegian lyrics — and got a hit with the single "Harley Davidson". In August 1983 Morty Black replaced Steinar Eikum on bass, and the following year American vocalist Tony Harnell became TNT's new frontman, making his debut on their album Knights of the New Thunder with the temporary stage name Tony Hansen. That line-up recorded one more album, Tell No Tales in 1987, before "Diesel" Dahl decided to quit one year later, after some turbulent times within the band. Tell No Tales - as co-written by Dahl - produced TNT's biggest hit, the single "10,000 Lovers (In One)".

Kenneth Odiin became TNT's new drummer, but recorded only one album with the band, Intuition in 1989, before he left. His replacement was John Macaluso, who played on the albums "Realized Fantasies" and "Three Nights in Tokyo" (both released in 1992). The same year they decided to take a break, choosing to focus on various solo projects. In 1996 the compilation "Till Next Time" was released, and Tony Harnell, Ronni Le Tekrø and Morty Black reformed TNT with drummer Frode Hansen. That line-up recorded two albums, Firefly in 1997 and Transistor in 1999.

In 2000 Morten Diesel Dahl came back to TNT, 12 years after he left. The band started working on their new album "My Religion", which was released in 2004. Months after the album release, Morty Black decided to quit, and Sid Ringsby took his place for the following concerts.

TNT's new studio album, All The Way To The Sun was released in the fall of 2005. A single, "Sometimes" was released on July 25th, but was only available in Norway. The same year Victor Borge replaced Sid Ringsby as their live bassist.

Tony Harnell left the band in April 2006 for both personal and professional reasons, although he is collaborating with iMagic Films and producer Darren Paltrowitz on a live DVD featuring his performance with the band in Madrid, Spain from April 1, 2006. The DVD is intended to be released in Japan in August 2006 and elsewhere in the world in September 2006.

TNT are still alive and kickin' - and are proud to introduce the new man behind the mic: Singer Tony Mills from Birmingham, England. Tony Mills is one of Europe's most respected hard rock singers, mostly known for his work with UK Melodic Rock act Shy and his solo artiste releases of recent years. Tony has worked along side such names as Cinderella, Dokken, Cozy Powell, Meatloaf, The Sweet and many more and will add a new and exciting dimension to TNT as the band enter a new era. It is an unbelievable coincidence that Mills' band Shy were already booked to support TNT at the Polar Festival on June 30 in Storsteinnes, Norway before Harnell's departure. This concert for TNT will be fronted by the ex-vocalist Tony Harnell as a farewell show for him.

Give Me a Sign
TNT Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give me a sign
Have I committed such a crime?
I don't wanna live
In a world that won't forgive

Give me a sign
Something real, not sublime
The further I run

The harder I become

Give me a sign
Don't make it so hard to find
Got a long way to go
Just to know what I'll know

Give me a sign
Turn this water into wine
Gonna drink till I'm blind
Make love all the time

Give me a sign
A little sun for my shine
Just let me feel
Let the pain start to heal

Give me a sign
I wanna live one more time
Please forgive
All I wanna do is live

Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
All I wanna do is live

Touch me where my tears won't cry
Help me find a dopeless high

Give me a sign
I wanna laugh one more time
Please forgive
All I wanna do is live

Give me a sign
I'm gonna leave this behind
I'm stuck in a dream
All I wanna do is scream

Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
All I wanna do is live
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
Give me a sign
All I wanna do is live

All I wanna do, all I wanna do is live

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of TNT's song "Give Me a Sign" speak to a longing for a purpose or direction in life, a sense of feeling lost amidst the chaos of the world. The repeated plea for a sign, a signal or indication of what steps to take, reflects a desperation for some kind of guidance or clarity, feeling as though one has committed some unforgivable crime that makes them unworthy of finding their way. The song taps into relatable human emotion, highlighting the difficulty we all face at times when dealing with uncertainty, and the universal desire to find meaning and joy in life. The repeated refrain of "All I wanna do is live" underscores the basic human need for vitality and connection, communicating a plea for something, anything, that can break through the numbness and help the singer feel alive again.

The lyrics also touch on themes of escape, with references to drinking and making love as means of coping with pain and finding temporary solace. The line "Touch me where my tears won't cry" suggests a desire for intimacy or physical touch that can provide comfort, while the reference to a "dopeless high" hints at the dangers of seeking escape through substance abuse. Overall, "Give Me a Sign" speaks to the complex and often messy realities of human existence, with all its contradictions, struggles, and occasional moments of beauty.
