Biography

Originally a rock group, Europe didn't achieve any success until they reworked their sound into a bombastic yet melodic pop metal. In their first incarnation, the Swedish band was called Force. The band -- featuring core members Joey Tempest (vocals), John Norum (guitar), and John Leven (bass) -- won a national talent contest in the early '80s, which led to a record contract. After changing their name to Europe and releasing two albums in Sweden (The Final Countdown and Wings of Tomorrow), the band landed an international deal with Epic Records. By this time, John Norum had left the group and was replaced by Kee Marcello; drummer Ian Haughland and keyboardist Michael Michaeli also joined the lineup.

    We're leaving together
    But still it's farewell
    And maybe we'll come back
    To earth, who can tell?
    I guess there is no one to blame

    Lyrics
    When lights go down, I see no reason
    For you to cry, we've been through this before
    In every time, in every season
    God knows I've tried
    So please don't ask for more

    I've gone through pain
    But there's not enough reason
    For me to go insane
    I know the feeling

    Days filled with joy
    And days filled with sorrow
    I don't know just what to do
    Am I happy today?
    Am I lonely tomorrow?
