The music video, I believe, was a disaster. The mid section of the buildup is noted in the lyrics as, "When I lost my grip/And I hit the floor." The chorus tells the final part, in that of, it "feels good" to overcome adversity: "Its amazing / That when the moment arrives /You know you'll be alright." "There were times in my life / When I was going insane,"perfectly culminates such aforementioned experience.Īnother interesting aspect of the song is its gradual, progressive buildup expounding someone going through a though time, hitting the rock-bottom, and then eventually finding solutions and moving on. But Tyler and Perry eventually resolved their differences in the mid 80s. Joe Perry, the lead guitarist, formed his own band called Joe Perry Project, and wrote the song, Let the Music Do the Talking.
It is arguable that Tyler put forth some of his personal experiences into lyrics, such as the ugly breakups Aerosmith went through. The song outlines a person reflect on his past adversities and triumphs. However, the indisputable fact is, "Amazing" has in-depth lyrics, good rhythm, and great vocals by the front-man, Steve Tyler. Yes, this is one my favorite Aerosmith songs and I'm being bias. Although it didn't have quite an impact as the previous ones, I believe this song deserves way more recognition, and quite frankly, more respect. The song was the 5th single from the album. Nevertheless,I believe the album is a success, so is the underrated single, "Amazing." The album indicated a dramatic departure from their hard rock material in favor of more radio-friendly pop-rock. The blues-rock band of Boston released their 11th album, Get a Grip, in 1993 consisting of many hits. So they live their lives out day to day trying to cope and get by.Amazing is the 5th single from Aerosmith's Get a Grip Just tryin' to survive" - referring to all of the homeless folk out there who need help of this kind and aren't getting it. You know you'll be alright" - Referring to finally accepting the help he's being given and that things aren't really as bad as whatever led up to these desperate feelings. To all that righteous talk" - As in being in a state of denial that this is happening to me. To the desperate hearts tonight" - Acknowledges that there are others out there feeling this way and having self-destructive thoughts. "I was wishing that I would die" further backs up the suicidal ideations of this person as in "That one last shot's a permanent vacation". When I was goin' insane, Tryin' to walk through the pain" further strengthens my belief that this is about a mental health crisis.īut couldn't get out the door" - As in being committed in an institution. "I kept the right ones outĪnd let the wrong ones in" I believe refers to choosing the wrong (destructive) people as friends and shutting out those who could've pulled (him/her) out of their nosedive. I believe the song is about someone going thru an episode of depression. I don't believe the songs about drug abuse. I also am saying a prayer for the sick and suffering tonight.goodnight & god bless!! I am also a recovering addict and although I am a female and was just a small child when that song came out the message and feelings are universal.
Steven has done alot for the recovery community.donating $$ to rehabs.speaking and helping as many as possible. The grip of addiction is so strong he will battle it for the rest of his life. and when he says "but I just couldnt listen to all that righteous talk" hes referring to hearing that at meetings but never really actually understanding what it meant.until "in a blink of an eye i finally seen the light" hes speaking of a spiritual awakening and Jesus releaving the obsession to use.Steven Tyler has battled through his addiction for many years and "hes had an angel of mercy to see him through all of his sins".
#Aerosmith amazing how to
and essentially means when you get clean you have to relearn how to live again. The part where he says "you have to learn to crawl before you learn to walk" is a saying that is frequently said in A.A. Steven Tyler wrote this song about his long battle w addiction.Steven has been involved in an anonymous drug program for 25-30 yrs now.relapse has been apart of his story as with many who also battle this disease- thats what he meant in the verse "I thought I could leave but couldnt get out the door"."that one last shots a permanent vacation, but how high can you fly with broken wings" Is referring to his drug of choice.and its no fun if it kills you.
