Asia - Sole Survivor Lyrics

C'est vrai que l'on ne peut pas passer à côté de tout ces titres. Et ces musicos (Wetton ect ect ..) Même 36 ans après, toujours aussi bien, quoique 1 peu émouvant.

And the drummer from Emerson lake and palmer

These guys qualify as one the best bands ever

Carl Palmer is AMAZING!

One good thing that came out of the Yes/Buggles mess. . .

I SO miss musicianship :(!

Picture this: a man, middle-aged, shoulder-length hair, sweat band around his head, jogging while singing this song loudly in a high falsetto voice. This is what I witnessed in my neighborhood today.

Awesome sauce!.

Love it!!!

And I'd do it again!!!!

awesome band!

got to drink with John after a Blossom Cleveland concert. Great time!

34 people didn't survive...

most Asia albums begin and end with the letter "A"

Bad Ass song

I'm 52. I remember jumping BMX on dirt hills we found just riding around I must have been 13 or 14 that song has been around a long long time we would ride our bikes 15 miles away to the next town where they had a bike shop just to buy stickers to put on our bikes no care in the world it was a different time good band good music thank you for the music Asia

I'll be 52 in March. I started my three year stint at reform school that year.

52 too. La musique reste pour moi la même qu'en 1982. J'ai toujours les mêmes LP'S , c'est peut être du fetichism .Anyway les meilleures années sont 1966/1980. Il y a matière à méditer.

34 people didn't Survive

As powerful as an improbable and explosive religious anthem

I find that this whole album sounds rather like Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds muscial.

A wonderful group!

Summer, 1982...good times!

Totally awesome song from my teenage years Title would be better as Soul Survivor for me save your soul you only have one

Loved this as a teenage beginner musician in 1982. Then "grew" into a dismissive, naive dreamer, assuming there'd be more bands equal and better, that would carry the standard upward. I was wrong. Now, I can't stop listening in 2019...John Wetton R.I.P. Thanks Carl, Geoff, and Steve.

As the meme says "I am not old your music sucks!"

Any ladies like to dance to this...

still gives me goosebumps after all of these years

Asia, best keyboard arrangements in a prog rock band. Best production.

First album I ever owned. Christmas gift in 1982...

Es tan hermosa esta rola

Fallout 4 anyone?

Was 24 when the album came out (1982 vynil). What an experience! Almost every song was an immediate favorite.

Saw them in Ft. Pierce, FL 07. Great show. Carl Palmer was amazing.

I remember buying this on cassette the very day it was released !! Listened to it on the way to the beach in Sea Isle City, NJ. Too cold to enjoy the beach but man did we keep the Canadian bar girls happy who came down to work the season.

Carl Palmer,John Wetton and Chris Sqiuer Put So Much Talent Into Asia RIP John!!!!

Um, Chris Squire wasn't in Asia. Steve Howe was.

Haunting. Their best. My fave. 82 was a crap year. This was a bright spot for sure.

You are a lot of people in the point

Sole survivor.... daran sind Erinnerungen an meine Jugendliebe verbunden! Schöner Song!

Great song and amazing intro

They're playing this at Starbucks right now, believe it or not. Always liked this one, but I don't ever recall hearing it on the radio.

Hearing this takes me back to 8th grade. Wonderful time in my life. Great tune and album!!

"Dance On A Volcano", Genesis

Makes me think of traveling in a freezing cold place on a sled across siberia.

Wicked cool song. We used to crank this one up at work whenever it came on. The boss hated that but it did make him leave the shop while it played ;)

every time i hear this song i think of the car accidents i walked away from,my 67 gto,my 67 gtx,my 66 cutlass was the worse,i rolled 6 times in that car and had to be cut out of it,when i look at the pictures from the wrecks its amazing that i lived,as a street racer i never had the fear of living and dying by the sword,

Mr. Howe is a frickin' genius. My favorite song of theirs.

His licks are so killer on this / razor sharp tones

Sole Survivor 2019 🍺🎃🤘Im 51 years old now

@Don Richard ditto, but still love this to this day!

la musique reste plus forte que tout. 52 c'est le début d'autres découverte et passion. Pas de fatalité dans le Rock. Toujours en avant avec le meilleur d'avant et d'aujourd'hui.52 too

14 Dislikes ? WTF ? You are not survivors.

Life is all about survival! From birth to death.

still rockin'

RockGods!!

Grew up in the 80s listening to this album.
Awesome.

Millennials take note: they don’t write this anymore like this!!

I remember hearing their music in 1983! Miss those days!

John Wetton!!!! Epic band and tune!!!!

Damn good stuff

Don't listen to any other group with this song title. Sucks. ASIA rocks.

I remember when this album came out, good tunes.

Me too. Boy time went by too fast. Seems like yesterday this came out.

Was he recognized at the worthless Grammy award show? I know Robert Miles was not. Grammys are a bloody joke to those humans and musicians that have souls!

Love both of them..Miles and Wetton. RIP

Fãããã BRASIL . ASIA

I forgot how good this song is. I had this on cassette .

This is 😎

Saw these guys in the 80s

2018 👍 good

Oh, to be young again. I'd probably make the same mistakes all over again though.

Styx, then Asia, then as far distant leftovers everyone else....

john rest in peace great man but your music will always wetton our eyes and ease on our ears..............................

ALOT of the GREATS of RnR we have lost...John Wetton...rest in peace. God be with you. TY for your talent. Live on!

Great tune but Audio fidelity not so good.

Probably some phase issues due to youtube smashing the 5.1 mix down into stereo.

@Preflex!
Very good possibility. I'm an audio purist. I guess I need to just buy the vinyl and be quiet.

My favourite asia song great group in the 80, s my favourite era of music great musicians karen tamplin

Love this, I was 13 in 1982.

Rock on

Needs more Cowbell.

Class...

Sure brings back memories, Man I miss the good times I had in 80's

You're far from alone in that sentiment. It was a GREAT freaking decade.

@Gregster If when I die and at the gates they ask me if want to go back my reply would have to be Only if I can relive the 80s all over!

Best decade of my life was the 80's.

@Gregster amazing decade i would play this cassette on my late night drives from my 1982/3 nights out yeah

Outstanding song. Love it.

john welton, carl palmer, steve howe, Jeffery downs.  all great artist who came together.

Super musician. Full power and feeling.

Pure talent, pure heart, pure soul, no bling, no fuss, no muss, no hype, no auto-tune, amazing lyrics, melodies, harmonies, licks, rifts, stories, characters = ASIA !!!
R.I.P. SIR JOHN WETTON

i truly agree

Yeah, were aware of this, what is your point, dummy?

Pretty good band.

Thanks for adding the bass....the whole dam album needed it.

I was fortunate to have seen ASIA at an outdoor concert in Kansas City back in 1982. Excellent show and performance!!

this is a progressive rock masterpiece, sadly at least for me, this was their best song .
...mostly everything else is bad.
..

This is the song that made me buy this album. Also, What an iconic cover!!!

Glorious stuff

Jimmy Page once said he didn't give a damn about synthesizers because they had no feeling. I disagree. No hard feelings Mr Page.

I wonder if he's said that to John Paul Jones' face considering that he was the guy who played keyboards, including synths, for Led Zeppelin back in the day on top of bass.

In the Light !

This would sound great played on a 33 rpm

"""I WAS LUCKY , I WAS ALIVE. ONE LOOK BACK AND I COULDA DIED"

That is true!

Nothing but awesome Thanks !!

Cab Calloway

underplayed except for me!!!

Long ago one night this song turned me around at my lowest point. "And from the wreckage I will arise. Casting ashes back in their eyes. " Yeah, I won didn't I bitches?

excelente pieza mano...

The music lives

And it died

Love thisii

This song is just marvelous, the boys did a great job on this. Was even better when I saw them do it live

@james sparks What's so funny, numbnuts?

kicks ass

I wore this album out. I must've had this album 3 times. I think this was in the top three rock albums of 1982, along with Robert Plant's solo album. Men at Work's debut was # 1.

My High School music, played every morning getting ready for school.

Yes sir

I had all 3 of the albums that you mentioned. All 3 were awesome!

​@DSAN242 Me too. A great time for music.

What an amazing composition.

they opened their show with this monster in Sioux City last weekend.. felt like I did back in '82 when I first heard it, truly amazed

RIP JOHN YOU AND CHRIS SQUIRE ARE BOTH GONE AND BIG INFLUENCES MISS YOU BOTH!!!!

Interesting skull u have there. If more understood the military, there would be soldiers getting hugs everywhere. Go USA.

@Handy Cap consider spiritual warfare as well the Soul against the flesh.

@Jason Barbush oh yes, u r spot on.

I saw then open the concert for Journey in Wisconsin. This was the amazing song that blasted into my ears.

NeonClashProductions saw them june 19 yesterday at the DCU center. Great show.

Got a shirt with this album art on it, with the names of the cities they went to on it.

Seen them last night!!! What a show!

Another great album from the early 80's.

Rip John wetton happy he's not in pain anymore

R.I.P...John Wetton
