Be With YouThe Bangles

Songwriter: Walker Igleheart Debbie Peterson

Producer: Davitt Sigerson

Out my window
The rain starts to fall
And the wind blows
Through an empty hall
In the mirror
Ooh, reflections of you

In the distance I hear a sound
Is that you coming around

(What you gonna do) Oh, what you gonna do
(I think I should) I think I should be with you
(A love that's overdue) A love that's overdue
Oh, I think I should be with you

Thought I saw you
In a stranger's face
Should I call you
Or should I walk away
Around the corner
Is around the world

Is that you looking at me
Or am I living a dream, woe-oh

(What you gonna do) Oh, what you gonna do
(I think I should) I think I should be with you
(A love that's overdue) Oh, a love that's overdue
Oh, I think I should be with you

And when I'm lost in a dream
You are all I can see
All alone in the night I'm waiting for you
In a moment I'd die
Just to look in your eyes
The dream is alive, I'm waiting

Oh, my (Oh, my)
How I try
To make you see that
I should be with you

In the distance I hear a sound
Is that you coming around

(What you gonna do) Oh, what you gonna do
(I think I should) I think I should be with you
(A love that's overdue) A love that's overdue
Oh, I think I should be with you
(Oh-I-I-I-I-I) I think I should be with you
(I-I-I-I-I) Oh, I think I should be with you
(I-I-I-I-I) Yeah, I think I should be with you

The Bangles

The Bangles are an American pop rock band originally part of the Paisley Undergound movement that’s been described as “sunshiney Beatles pop”. They are best known for their internationally successful ‘80s singles “Manic Monday”, “Walk Like An Egyptian”, and “Eternal Flame” and have been called “perhaps the biggest all-female rock group of the 1980s”.

When their friend/bassist quit their band The Colours, sisters Debbi & Vicki Peterson’s newspaper ad was answered by Susanna Hoffs. They renamed themselves The Bangs and released “Getting Out Of Hand” on their own record label in 1981. Airplay on KROQ FM attracted Miles Copeland (IRS Records / Go Go’s) who signed them to his short-lived label Faulty Products and became their manager. When a New Jersey band claimed ownership of the name The Bangs, they changed their named to The Bangles and released their self-titled debut EP. Bassist Annette Zilinskas was added to the group in time to be included on the artwork, but not on the recordings. The Bangles then toured with English Beat.

Zilinskas was replaced by ex-Runaways bassist Micki ‘Michael’ Steele before the group’s 1984 debut album All Over The Place, released on Columbia Records. Despite its two singles “Hero Takes A Fall” and the Kimberly Rew-penned “Going Down To Liverpool” modestly charting only in the UK, the album still reached #80 in the US thanks to college radio airplay, MTV exposure, a tour with Cyndi Lauper and good reviews. Prince took an interest in the band after seeing the music video for “Hero Takes A Fall” and offered them two songs – “Manic Monday” and “Jealous Girl”.
