Scorpions are a German rock band formed in 1965 in Hanover by Rudolf Schenker. Since the band's inception, its musical style has ranged from hard rock to heavy metal. The lineup from 1978–92 was the most successful incarnation of the group, and included Klaus Meine (vocals), Rudolf Schenker (rhythm guitar), Matthias Jabs (lead guitar), Francis Buchholz (bass guitar), and Herman Rarebell (drums). The band's only constant member has been Schenker, although Meine has been the lead singer for all of the band's studio albums, and Jabs has been a consistent member since 1979. During the mid-1970s, with guitarist Uli Jon Roth part of the line-up, the music of the Scorpions was defined as hard rock. After the departure of Roth in 1978, Matthias Jabs joined and, following the guidance of producer Dieter Dierks, the Scorpions changed their sound towards melodic heavy metal, mixed with rock power ballads. Rolling Stone Magazine described the Scorpions as "the heroes of heavy metal", and MTV called them "Ambassadors of Rock". The band was ranked number 46 on VH1's Greatest Artists of Hard Rock programme, with "Rock You Like a Hurricane" at number 18 on VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs. "Still Loving You" ranked 22nd place among the greatest ballads. The Scorpions have received prestigious awards such as three World Music Awards, a star on the Hollywood Rock wall, and a presence in the permanent exhibition of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2015 the group celebrated its 50th anniversary. "Face the Heat" is their twelfth studio album released in 1993 and "Lonely Nights" the 11th song of the album. It was produced by the band and the late Bruce Fairbairn and released on the PolyGram label. This album marked their status as a sort of political band with the song "Alien Nation", which was about the re-unification of Germany.This album had a contemporary touch to it, as the band were then going with the current trends, before later returning to their original style in Unbreakable in 2004. This is last album to feature drummer Herman Rarebell, and the first with Ralph Rieckermann on bass guitar. Lyrics Since you're gone there is an empty space Since you're gone the world is not the same I go back to the places we've been Feels like you're still there I live all those moments again Wishing you were here.. Since you're gone.. there is a lonely heart Since you're gone.. nothing is like it was There are memories all over the place Bringing it back all so clear Remember all of those days Wishing you were here.. All those lonely nights, lonely nights Lonely nights, lonely nights.. lonely nights I got to fight for you, yes I do All those lonely nights, lonely nights Lonely nights, lonely nights.. lonely nights I got to fight for you, yes I do.. Yes I do.. Since you're gone, there is a heart that bleeds Since you're gone, I'm not the man I used to be I follow your steps in the snow Traces disappear We know what we've lost when it's gone I'm wishing you were here.. All those lonely nights, lonely nights Lonely nights, lonely nights.. lonely nights I got to fight for you, yes I do All those lonely nights, lonely nights Lonely nights, lonely nights.. lonely nights I got to fight for you, yes I do.. Yes I do.. I go back to the places we've been Feels like you're still there I live all those moments again Wishing you were here.. All those lonely nights, lonely nights Lonely nights, lonely nights.. lonely nights I got to fight for you, yes I do All those lonely nights, lonely nights Lonely nights, lonely nights.. lonely nights I got to fight for you, yes I do.. All those lonely nights, lonely nights Lonely nights, lonely nights.. lonely nights I got to fight for you, yes I do...
