Yesterday I saw my love light shine
Straight ahead in front of me
You never really know
When love will come or go
But yesterday I was alone
Suddenly I walked you home
I never really knew
What love could make me do

I'll send the message in a bottle
Trust in the mercy of the sea
Stormy weather, oh yeah
Waitin' for love to set me free

Everyday I watch the tide roll in
Stay until it rolls away
Though nothing's on the shore
I'm running back for more

I'll send the message in a bottle
Pray for the mercy of the sea
Stormy weather, oh yeah
Waitin' for love to rescue me
Feels so good, feels so nice
When love comes around

I feel good, so good, so good, so good
It feels so nice, so nice
Feels so good
Feels so good
Feels so nice
When love comes around

I feel good
Gonna make her feel nice
When love comes around
I feel good
So good, so good, so good
Come on, baby
Make me feel good

Van Halen is one of the most iconic American rock bands of all time. Formed in Pasadena, California in 1972, the group’s primary line-up consisted of Eddie Van Halen on guitar, Alex Van Halen on drums, David Lee Roth providing lead vocals, and Michael Anthony providing bass duties and significant harmonies.

Their first six albums, recorded and released between 1977–1984, are considered to be classics and pioneering efforts in the field of hard rock. Eddie Van Halen’s groundbreaking guitar sound and techniques completely changed the landscape of music and radio culture in the 1980s. His and brother Alex’s virtuosity, along with David Lee Roth’s charisma and bassist Michael Anthony’s foundational contributions garnered the band early comparisons to their predecessors—Led Zeppelin—a group who had a profound influence on them. Though, even more so than Jimmy Page, Eddie cites Eric Clapton as having the biggest impact on his playing.

In 1977, after recording a demo with Gene Simmons (who wanted the band to change their name to “Daddy Longlegs”) they were introduced to KISS‘ management, who told Simmons they wouldn’t sign them
