The Battle Of The Europe's Songs: "Whenever You're Ready"

I'm with Kochie here.

5. "Coast to Coast"
6. "Ready or Not"
7. "Sign of the Times"

However often they play Sign of the times live, I will never actually really tire of it. I wish they wouldn't play it live. But everytime they do, I'm 100% in! It's not like with Carrie... Sign of the times was the first Europe song I listened to on an actual original Europe album, as opposed to a compilation. Or, maybe it wasn't the first song, but it was the first love of that album. It was on repeat for a couple of weeks at least!


When I celebrated my 22nd birthday in a pub in London (which wasn't actually about celebrating my birthday, but having a fan meetup with fans from Sweden, Norway, England, Spain, France +++ ...) Anyway, Europe music was playing in the pub we had rented all evening. But Ready or not semmed to never come . But when it did.... I still remember the euphoria almost blowing the roof off. Everyone had been waiting for it! Hearing the first notes to that song live.. or even seeing Joey coming out with his guitar signalling that the song might come... it gets that same euphoria running!

I have 2 fond memories of Coast to coast. First, it was when I was studying music theory, and I had a liiiittle crush on this guitarist in my class. He happened to be on the same train as me one day, when I shared the name of my obsession. Amd what he replied with was NOT the intro to TFC. He said in Norwegian "Kyst til kyst, liksom?" ... which meant I had to autotranslate what he said to me in our native language into two things 1."He's saying Coast to coast!" and 2. "He knows Europe!" I'm pretty sure my mouth fell open. And as a bonus he followed up with the fact that "The best solo ever created is the one on Heart of stone!"

...

The other fondest memory of Coast to Coast was when I visited my friends in North America last year. We went to a really weird karaoke place, and they told me they had lots of Europe. They didn't. They had Carrie.

But we used a cellphone and a couple of microphones singing Coast to coast together, fitting 3 altos pretty well The lyrics matched the moment. One Canadian girl, one Norwegian girl, and one American girl, meeting up. Coast to coast, hand in hand.

Here I go again 

-Tomorrow: I'm in love with this song   It's very special to me, I think this song saved my life in the past.

-Ready or Not: One of the best Europe's songs.

-Coast to Coast: I remember stay at home watching tv "some" years ago, when OUT OF THIS WORLD was out, hehe ... EUROPE in a tv program in Spain and see Joey singing this song, ... I couldn't stop looking at that song I thought it was wonderful ... how exciting, I loved it. I love Coast to Coast. Look and realize ... it was this performance.

READY OR NOT moves away and goes straight to the grand finale if things don't change a lot

What is clear is that the fans of this forum are not very agree with the releases of the singles from the albums of the band.
Neither HEART OF STONE nor READY OR NOT were singles ...

what's going on ?
Do we see in the songs nuances that others don't see?
Maybe being a fan of this band means having a different perspective on the preferences in their songs?



Does anyone know?
