Brian Mc Carthy Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Eric The song sunrise is amazing With the haunting opening and energetic rocking closing and inbetween the upbeat lighthearted melody It blended very well and seems challenging to get it just right Can you tell us more about it THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Mc Carthy Posted June 1, 2009 Author Share Posted June 1, 2009 Hey Gman ! It is great ! So true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna L Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I agree with G Man also, about Sunrise especially the beginning..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missm Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I , too like Sunrise. Once I read G-Man's post and the agreement from highwayangel and Donna, I realize I need to live in New Jersey in order to develop a fuller appreciation of this song. Afterall, G-Man said it simulates an actual sunrise. I want to hear that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I always loved "Sunrise." Thanks so much for putting it up, Elle! The song is as fresh and new as it was when it was written. And, as you can get an idea from the clip, it was absolutely AMAZING to see performed live. I loved those days! --Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 After the intro....the lush, beautiful acoustic guitars so remind me of the opening of The Beach Boys version of "I Can Hear Music". I love when acoustic guitars sound like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny S. Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I always loved this song..The "Harrison-esque" guitar at 2:15,and at the bridge when the vocal repeats the opening guitar lick, I always thought this was a masterpiece.The cut on my album is WHITE from playing the track so often.

Brian Mc Carthy Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 I like the live version also recorded at the Roxy in 1976 i dont know if that is when Eric was on tour with Sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggsherby Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Sunrise is probably my very favorite Eric Carmen tune (it is also my main "ringtone" thanks to Anna R). It was the second album that I ever purchased and I purchased it primarily because I wanted to have the "long version" of Sunrise. Remember when they used to chop up some songs that they felt were too long so they could fit in more commercials on the radio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherberries Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Thanks for reminding me of this beautiful song! Another reminder of why we are all here! Sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
