Lifeline (Neal Morse album)

Lifeline is an album by Neal Morse. The album features performances from Mike Portnoy (ex-Dream Theater) on drums and Randy George (Ajalon) on bass, as well as special guest appearances including Paul Bielatowicz on guitar and Paul Gilbert (Racer X and Mr. Big), who features on a bonus cut. Live drummer Collin Leijenaar plays on the bonus track "Set the Kingdom".

Neal and his band first performed the title track, Lifeline, live at the Night of the Prog Festival on the Loreley, Germany. It was also played at a concert in Trondheim, Norway, with a local band.

It was later announced that the album would be released on October 1, 2008. Unlike many of his previous releases, Lifeline is not a concept album.

Track listing

All songs written by Neal Morse except where noted.

A special edition was released with a CD of bonus material, including covers of four "pretty cool songs by pretty uncool bands" as well as two original songs. "Set the Kingdom" actually ends at 11:00 and is followed by silence before the hidden track.

Lifeline (Brooke Fraser song)

"Lifeline" is the second single by Brooke Fraser from her debut album What to Do with Daylight. It was the first single released by Fraser in Australia.

Song information

"Lifeline" was re-recorded in Sydney for its Australian release with a more rockier sound, with additional guitars and vocal arrangement changes added to the track. In addition, the video for Lifeline was re-written and re-filmed. As well as this, the cover was changed to a side-on shot of Fraser in an armchair, notably the same image and design from the cover of Fraser's first release, Better, with only the song's titles being swapped on the exterior cover. The song was included in the New Zealand compilation Now That's What I Call Music 14 in 2004.

Music videos

There were two videos filmed for "Lifeline". One is for the original version of the song, which was released in New Zealand, and the other being the video for the re-recorded version.

New Zealand video

The original video for "Lifeline" showed Fraser and her band playing a game entitled 'Lifeline'. The game followed similar ruling as the game "Operation" where the game board was electrically charged and a shock results if your game piece touched the metal. The game, however, has no batteries in it so the keyboardist hooks the game to the buildings power battery. Each time a member of the band touches the metal, they disintegrate, as if they were electrocuted. The ending of the video leaves Fraser alone to make it to the final safe position on the board, but we find out she doesn't. The video is cut with interpolations of the band playing their instruments together, with each time a member of the band being eliminated from the game, they have also been taken from the band scene. This is how we know Fraser doesn't win the game, as the final shot of the video shows an empty band set.

Returning

In retail, a return is the process of a customer taking previously purchased merchandise back to the retailer, and in turn receiving a refund in the original form of payment, exchange for another item (identical or different), or a store credit.

Many retailers will accept returns provided that the customer has a receipt as a proof of purchase, and that certain other conditions, which depend on the retailer's policies, are met. These may include the merchandise being in a certain condition (usually resellable if not defective), no more than a certain amount of time having passed since the purchase, and sometimes that identification be provided (though usually only if a receipt is not provided). In some cases, only exchanges or store credit are offered, again usually only without a receipt, or after an initial refund period has passed. Some retailers charge a restocking fee for non-defective returned merchandise, but typically only if the packaging has been opened.

While retailers are not usually required to accept returns, laws in many places require retailers to post their return policy in a place where it would be visible to the customer prior to purchase.

Return (band)

Return is a Norwegian rock band from Stange, Hedmark. The band started in 1980, and was in its prime in the late 1980- and early 1990-. In this period they had several singles on the Norwegian hit charts and were among the bestselling bands in the country. In 1993 the band took a break, but came back in 2001 with a collection and some gigs. In 2005 they released a new studio album, and in 2008 they released another collection which also includes a DVD with shots from a concert in Hamar in 2007.

The band's musical style has gone through minimal changes through almost three decades; they've kept most of the typical 80s rock, with a substantial amount of power ballads.

The band have hits in their native Norway and in other countries such as Switzerland.

The band

In addition, Magnus Østvang has contributed on synthesizer and chorus. Henning Ramseth was for a longer period with the band as a supplement musician on keyboards and guitar (Henning Ramseth has his own band, Ram-Zet).
