Sebastian Bach (born April 3, 1968) is a Canadian heavy metal singer who achieved mainstream success as frontman of Skid Row from 1987 to 1996. Since his departure from Skid Row, he has had many television roles, acted in Broadway plays, and led a successful solo career.
Bach was born Sebastian Philip Bierk on April 3, 1968, in Freeport, Bahamas, and raised in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. He attended nearby Lakefield College School in the same class as Michael Kulas, of the British rock group James, a year behind Felipe, Prince of Asturias and a year ahead of the comedian/actor Will Arnett. He is of Norwegian, French Canadian, and Native American descent. Bach's father was the visual artist David Bierk. He is the brother of retired NHL goaltender Zac Bierk, model/actress Heather Dylan Bierk, and Toronto-based artists Jeff, Nick, Alex, and Charles Bierk.
Skid Row initially formed in the late eighties with lead singer Matt Fallon. They began playing at various New Jersey clubs. Fallon would soon leave the band in 1987, leaving Skid Row without a singer. Bach, who had just left his previous band Madam X, was spotted singing at rock photographer Mark Weiss's wedding and the members asked him to join. He turned them down, but changed his mind after hearing the demo tapes of "Youth Gone Wild" and "18 and Life". He sent them a demo of him singing "Saved By Love." They loved it and flew him to New Jersey where they began playing gigs. Sebastian also recorded demos with Bon Jovi & Sabo's friend Jack Ponti. (The song "She's on Top" later came out on Jack Ponti Presents Vol. 1)
Yeah, that's my sunshine right there, ha ha
(You, you got)
(You, you got)
I get girls all around the word
But I ain't got one that got all that, all that
(You, you, got)
Sumtin' that'll make me come home
Tell my girl that I love her but I'm never coming back, ha
(You, you, got)
What we call that sunshine, sunshine
Get a, get it one time, make me hook
(You, you, got)
What we call that sunshine, sunshine
When he be walking wit' his girl
A nigga gotta look, gotta look
(You, you, got)
What you hear me talkin' 'bout
You just ain't gon find out
Walkin' round in somebody's club
Now she's sayin' her house
But when she hit the scene
Shawty, do it so mean
And everybody round is affected by the being
Man, I'm talkin' real hot even if you get a shot
Everythin' else you got, will totally be forgot
You can see it in her face, you can see it in her shape
Nigga's see it and immediately go pull out a key
Way before they get the sex, go start spendin' checks
Broke ones send her flowers, rich nigga's sendin' jets
Man the behind on her, shawty got a mind on her
Independent wit' it, baby girl got a grind on her
All that'll make you fall, all that'll make you ball
Run up in the mall, damn near try to buy it all
So if you got a wife, and some kids at home
Might as well go head and make [unverified]
I get girls all around the word
But I ain't got one that got all that, all that
(You, you, got)
Sumtin' that'll make me come home
Tell my girl that I love her but I'm never coming back, ha
(You, you, got)
What we call that sunshine, sunshine
Get a, get it one time, make me hook
(You, you, got)
What we call that sunshine, sunshine
When he be walking wit' his girl
A nigga gotta look, gotta look
(You, you, got)
To me it ain't nothin' like gotta have every night
Shawty, keep it real tight, make it feel real right
Just what I be lookin' for, leave me feenin' wantin' more
In the dictionary, she body by the word, 'Woah'
I just love ya style, drive a nigga wild
Brighten up my day, you make me wanna smile
I just wanna fell your touch, to me girl you're so much
Knew that you would shine from the first time that we crushed
The room was so dark, back had a mean arch
Through me apart and from the start, took a nigga's heart
Girl, I think you the best and I probably need a rest
'Cause I ain't stopped since I seen you and you said, yes
I never told you this, but the juiciness of your lips
Got me crazy that's why I love to kiss
You, it's true, got your boy in a twist
