Extreme was a "funk metal" band formed in Boston in 1985-86 consisting of guitar virtuoso Nuno Bettencourt, singer/lyricist Gary Cherone, bassist Pat Badger and drummer Paul Geary (later replaced by drum god Mike Mangini). The band's influences range from the progressive hard rock and elaborate multi-vocals parts of Queen, as well as Beatlesque pop and touches of lounge jazz. Consequently, Extreme's music is never easy to classify; it's not just heavy metal, hard rock, or pop —their albums cover all of that territory with a sweeping ambition and a social consciousness to match. Although a hard rock band, it was the Everly Brothers-style acoustic ballad, "More Than Words," that crossed them over into the mainstream — it hit number one and the follow-up single, the acoustic-based pop rocker "Hole Hearted," hit number four. They released two albums in the hey day of glam metal but recieved diminished attention from the mainstream following the grungeexplosion following the release of Nirvana's "Nevermind"in 1991.

Rise N Shine Lyrics

Extreme

Dawn wakes the silence,
Of a fainted lullaby
Day breaks the eyelid,
From a song sung in my eye

Night rests in peace,
As the sun mourns the sky
Alls accounted for sheep,
Over a horizons i

Rise, rise n shine
A new day is coming
Rise, rise in time
For everything under the sun

And when you see,
A south wind blow
Forecasting, you will know,
A hot day, will be on the way
(foolish one)
You analyze,
The earth and the sky
I ask you why,
You cant analyze the signs,
Of the present time

I had a dream,
Not unlike the one from old
Of a man king,
Whose head was made of gold
Stand castles of sand
Weather the sundials rise n fall
Chasing wind through your hands,
til water runs dry the well

Dream, daniel, dream
For whats yet to come
See, daniel, see
For everything under the sun

And in the west,
A cloud appears
For shadows of
A coming shower near,
Oh, so near
(hypocrites)
You analyze,
The earth and the sky
I ask you why,
You cant analyze the signs,
Of the present time

Vanity,
Yes, all is vanity
Vanity,
Yes, alls futility

For one that dies,
Anothers born
Where laughters heard,
Comforters mourn
Theres a time for
Everything

A song for love,
Even abhor
An olive branch,
Or winters war
Theres a time for
Everything, under the sun
