Hard Times Come Easy

This came up after witnessing MUSE rocked KL. Can you name me a rock band, where the lead guitarist is also the lead singer? Hmm…there aren’t many talented musicians out there these days, no thanks to bubblegum music. Anyway…

Richie Sambora is one of the few guitarists to make use of the talkbox. He has cited Joe Walsh and Peter Frampton as the main influences in his use of the device. He plays the mandolin, sitar, ukulele, bass, banjo, piano, keyboards, drums, flute, trumpet, saxophone and the accordion. Now that’s talent!

One of my favorite Richie Sambora tune, HARD TIMES COME EASY. Love always seem to find a way, even if it hurts…

Richie Sambora – Hard Times Come Easy

It’s amazing we go through changes
When times get crazy it’s up and down it’s hot and cold
These complications just keep on coming
There ain’t no running
When it comes to life that’s how it goes

Round and round we go sometimes it feels like
We’re on a roller coaster ride
Baby don’t you know it could eat you up
If you try to keep it all inside

Seems like hard times come easy
We do a lot of hanging on these days
But the heart finds a reason
And love always seems to find a way
Even if it hurts, even if it hurts us baby

There’s gonna be thunder there’s gonna be rain
There’s gonna be those times we both get caught up in the pain
The realization keeps sinking in
The way you make it is learn to take it on the chin

Round and round we go
It’s just a another day with trouble knocking at your door
Baby don’t you know
We can work it out cause we always seem to find a cure

Round and round we go
Sometimes it feels like we’re on a roller coaster ride
But baby don’t you know
We’ll keep holding on through the changes that we feel inside
