Christopher Stephen "Chris" Botti (pronounced /ˈboʊti/ BOH-tee; born October 12, 1962), is an American trumpeter and composer. In 2007, Botti was nominated for two Grammy Awards including Best Pop Instrumental Album. On December 4, 2009, he was nominated for three more Grammy Awards including Best Pop Instrumental Album and Best Long Form Music Video. Three of his albums have reached the #1 position on the Billboard jazz albums chart.
Coming to prominence with the 2001 recording of his Night Sessions CD, Botti established a reputation as a versatile musician in both jazz and pop music for his ability to fuse both styles together.
He was born in Portland, Oregon and raised in Corvallis and spent two years of his childhood growing up in Italy. His earliest musical influence was his mother, a classically trained pianist and part-time piano teacher.
He started playing the trumpet at 9 years old, and committed to the instrument at age 12 when he heard Miles Davis play "My Funny Valentine."
In 1983, he was selected as a member of McDonalds’ All American High School Jazz band which marked his first Carnegie Hall performance.
Jimmy Wayne "Jimi" Jamison (born August 23, 1951 in Mississippi) is an American rock vocalist and songwriter, best known as the longtime frontman of Survivor, a position he has held from 1984–1989, 2000–2006 and from 2011 to the present day.
Born in rural Mississippi, Jamison moved with his mother to Memphis, Tennessee, at a very young age, and he considers himself a Memphis native. In addition to honing his vocal abilities, Jamison dabbled in guitar growing up. By middle school, he was playing in a band.
He would later sing for the bands Target and Cobra and provided background vocals for other bands including ZZ Top. After the demise of Cobra in 1983/84, he was invited to audition for Survivor. Although he was initially not adamant about fronting what he considered more of a "pop rock" band, which would contrast significantly with the heavy metal stylings of Cobra to which he had become accustomed, Jamison ultimately got the job and became Survivor's new frontman.
Jamison's first album with Survivor was Vital Signs, which included several major hits. The second album, When Seconds Count, contained a Top 10 hit, "Is This Love?" Jamison co-wrote four of the songs on When Seconds Count. One of the biggest adjustments he had to make performing with Survivor was giving up the right to perform hits by other artists. "Sometimes we'll start to do an encore and somebody will say, 'Let's do a Led Zeppelin song!'" he told Nine-O-One Network Magazine in 1987. "You wanna say 'Yeah. Yeah!' And then right at the very last minute you say, 'Nah, we better do this.'"
Tommy Roland Shaw (born September 11, 1953) is an American guitarist, singer, songwriter, and performer best known for his work with the rock band, Styx. In between his stints with Styx, he has played with other groups including the Damn Yankees and Shaw Blades and has released several solo albums.
Tommy Shaw was born in Montgomery, Alabama, and played with many local bands in his early years. He left Montgomery after attending Robert E. Lee High School to join The Smoke Ring and then MSFunk, a Chicago-managed outfit that he played with for 3 years, which gave him a chance to be noticed by Styx during a 2-week club gig in Chicago. After MSFunk disbanded, he went back to Montgomery to join a local group with his childhood friends called Harvest, which performed at the club Keglers Kove, in a bowling alley called Bama Lanes. Following Styx's move to A&M, guitarist and vocalist John Curulewski suddenly left the band shortly before they were to embark on a nationwide tour, and a frantic search to find a last-minute replacement was launched. While playing at the bowling alley bar, as a result of his previous experience with MSFunk in Chicago, Shaw, 23 years old, got the call to audition for Styx and was quickly hired.
Dave Bickler (born 1953) is an American vocalist, best known as the lead singer for the rock band Survivor from 1977–1983. His distinctive vocal was featured on the #1 U.S. hit "Eye of the Tiger". In addition to his wide vocal range, his street-wise image included a trademark beret. Bickler would go on to provide the vocals in advertisements, including the Real Men of Genius Bud Light TV and radio commercials.
Born in North Dakota. In 1971, Bickler graduated from Benet Academy in Lisle, Illinois. Bickler's career began as one of two lead singers of 1970s American rock group Jamestown Massacre, who recorded their debut album not later than 1972. The Jamestown Massacre single "Summer Sun" was a Billboard Top 100 and Easy Listening chart entry in the summer of 1972. Bickler met Jim Peterik while doing commercial jingles in the mid-1970s. Bickler currently lives with his family in Chappaqua, New York, a suburb of New York City. On February 2, 2012, he appeared to The Colbert Report singing a passage from Newt Gingrich's book A Nation Like No Other to the tune of "Eye of the Tiger".

Little sunshine in the end how the fairy tales end
Happily ever after forever Imma be your man

And you know I'm gonna love you forever

Music by Unicorn, Lyrics by Dan Swanæ/Unicorn
Sitting here alone, waiting for someone to take me away from loneliness
And I wonder for how long do I have to wait for someone to caress?
And though I dream of love it's so hard to define.
And there's noone around that I want to be mine, to be mine.
And Ever Since the rain fell on my lonely heart
I realize that there's no cure for love.
And ever since the wind blew through my tiny soul I wonder who will
I be dreaming of?
Be dreaming of.
Just another day, feeling just the same
because someone put out my only flame.
And I know by now that all clich©s,
they have a meaning in this empty space.
I try to concentrate and sort out who I need.
But noone's there to fill the heart that I must feed.
That I must feed.
Ever since the rain fell from the skies
of hope my eyes are filled with tears that
soon will flow.
And ever since the wind blew thru my tiny soul.
I realize the way that I must go.
And I found a way to follow.
It led me to another view.
Love had found a clue.
Somewhere down the lonely road she came passing by.
I no longer feel the rain falling from the sky.
Now I'm king and she's my queen.
We have gained the throne.
Now the fields are evergreen.
My heart is not alone.
Now the rain has gone away and the sky is clear and blue.
The sun's been shining since the day, the day that I found you.
You're the meaning of my life, the one that makes me sign.
Since the day you dried my heart.
Ever since and always waiting
lost the chance to do what we never did
We'll curse ourselves for hesitating
but, nevermore let fear forbid
Because, maybe we were
closer than we think
Still, no one touched
and the suspense was killing me
It was only love, only lust,
only innocence
It was only real, only right,
only wondering if
ever since
Maybe we were hoping things
we couldn’t let our mouths admit
Waiting on momentum to get
caught up in the thrill of it
But, funny how that
moment never came
To do what everybody said
would happen anyway
It was only love, only lust,
only innocence
It was only real, only right,
only wondering if
ever since
I heard your back
I’m hoping that we could
go back and take our time
and finally find out why
It was only love, only lust,
only innocence
It was only real, only right,
only wondering if
ever since i was a child
you know i’d lay down
i would just lay and
dream of growing up in time
in time to realize what was mine
i never could have answered why
just why i’d lay down
you know i’d lay and dream
about the future i gave up since
i became the child
a passive motion is my own part
the days go by
i just can’t focus on what i’ve left
or gained now since i’m with you
but tomorrow i’ll be gone
you pull me back so i won’t drift
further away the race i live
through has full existence today
so bruised and dusty i keep
walking there remind me that today
is today though any day could be
just wake that side of me
ever since i was child
you know i’d lay down
i would just lay and keep my
dreams and hopes alive
and that i hope you’ll see in time
i guess i’ll never answer why
just why i’ lay down
you know i’d lay and do
what i was told each time
i guess it come with being
Like all those stories that unfold
Under our eyes
Like movies without heroes
Where only the victims have the leading role !
What a sad destiny ! What a sad reality !
And nothing gets better,
Madness has crept over the people !
Evil is growing.
Life and death are almost one.
The rest is written like music paper.
And that's when everything becomes tragic...
And yet, everyone can change his path
And attain his aim...
Too much violence, too much hatred...
Everything is an excuse for confrontation.
And the reasons don't hold water !
Only lies and contradictions...
Is life still worth living ?
I don't know, but I remain so disappointed !
Like all those stories that unfold
Under our eyes
Like movies without heroes
Life and death are almost one.
The rest is written like music paper.
And that's when everything becomes tragic...
The more time goes on...
The more my dreams pass away...
And the future looks very dull for me...
But who will get us out of this dead end ?
Where only the victims have the leading role !
Fighting towards and against everything,
Wanting at all costs to remember...
That the best is to come...
Nothing is ever lost !
Nothing is ever won !
To rekindle that flame which pushes us day after day...
Like the phoenix which rises from it's ashes
Making that sacred fire sparkle again,
Continuing whithout knowing why, but continuing !
Time is going by and everything tires me out...
Faced with the elements..., life..., death...
An endless struggle...
But don't let things get us down
A brighter future will come
So that everyone finds that tiny spark...
No, no and no, I didn't things in that way
Tell me, old man !
Would you have lied to me ?
The future seemed more promising
I have a bad feeling
Unpleasant sensations !
As if nothing was any longer like before !
You only believe what you see
I didn't promise you anything !
You hide your face
I laugh at your stupidity
Each time the same mistakes
I'm unable to understand
Your cupidity will ruin you
Everything is put to fire and the sword
The crowd is muttering and tempers are rising
Lass and less feelings
The earth hasn't got much time
Swept by the cold breath
Of that small death that takes us away...
Both our bodies relaxed and heavy
Thriull by the slightest touch
And I remember everything,
The best as well as the rest.
You've never promised me anything
But I could have it all.
Only sheer pleasure !
But I see you disappear
Like a star vanishing within the sky
You leave me here like a traitor
Unable to be better.
Yet, you've really tried
To constantly fight that inner ennemy,
Which was gnawing you little by little
And preventing you from coming back to life.
You didn't notice anything, and yet,
You, who were living only for me
You'd have given your heart away
So that our love would be immortal
You kept smiling at me,
I, who was living only for you
Would have given my life away
So that yours would be eternal !
So much suffering, so much despair
Due to the hiding of her pains within
And to feet a bottomless enticing abyss
Grow deep inside of you
Like a totally void ocean
AN the unlikelihood of your being healed,
I beg you ta face the life and death struggle
And hold on till tomorrow,
I'm getting colder and colder,
And I still don't understand
My loneliness is dragging me to the bottom,
I'm heading towards madness.
Maybe I didn't know how to seize these opportunities
And I'm dying or while you're away
It seems to be an eternity
Since I last heard your voice
Come... and change this terrible reality...
I don't want to live far away from you...
I'd like to see this love grow in your eyes again.
My heart is only ice now
Nothing is erased forever
No one can take your place.
Time heals some wounds, but the scars live on !
Not one day's passed by whitout my thinking of us.
I'm wandering in my memories,
Dealing with mistakes and regrets.
Frost has crept over my whole body,
And everything is worsening around me.
And I'm dying or while you're away
It seems to be an eternity
Since I last heard your voice
Come... and change this terrible reality...
Only one step lies between ice and death...
The bell is tolling ! I'm doomed !
You didn't wait for me...
Everything is over !
You won't ever come back...
Only one step lies between ice and death...
You didn't wait for me...
Everything is over !
Despite myself
I make the most of this long sleepless night
To jot down these lines
We say that the heart has it's reasons,
That reason doesn't always understand
I hope mine isn't lost
I will have needed time to understand
To write to help me come out of this mist
To know how to find the right words
Even though I'm aware that you won't read them
But I know you are here !
I feel your gaze turn on me,
But what does it matter ?
I have to empty my mind, make my heart cry
What could I have done to help you ?
I would have covered you with my skin
If I had been able to remove it...
Just to warm up you
In your shaking arms, I would have rolled off my strength
So that you might defend yourself
Pierced by pain
Your body would have passed through mine
And we would have shared it
But now, I have to relearn to live... Whithout you
Afflicted by much sorrow
I try to cross life...
To have been able to write all these thoughts
Which obsess and torment me,
Relieves my conscience
I only have to forget everything,
Start anew
