I’ll Set You FreeThe Bangles

Songwriter: Susanna Hoffs David Eric Lowen Dan Navarro

Producer: Davitt Sigerson

I remember eyes that shined
As they looked so hard back into mine
Now it's just a memory
So I'll set you free

I hear you through the wire
The words all sound like noise
What happened to the fire in your voice
Don't try to hide the distance
It's just too big to ignore
We work it out like business
It won't work anymore

I remember eyes that shined
As they looked so hard back into mine
Now it's just a memory
So I'll set you free
Oh-oh, I'll set you free

Still sometimes late at night
Moonlight comes into my window
I can make believe it's how it used to be
We made it look so easy
You never tried to resist
Somehow you stopped believing
Somehow we've come to this

I remember eyes that shined
As they looked so hard back into mine
Now it's just a memory
So I'll set you free
I remember words that fell
Like coins into a wishing well
This was never meant to be
So I'll set you free
Oh-oh, I'll set you free

So now I must go on
What more can I do
What good is being strong
When all I ever really want is you

I remember eyes that shined
As they looked so hard back into mine
Now it's just a memory
So I'll set you free
I remember words that fell
Like coins into a wishing well
This was never meant to be
So I'll set you free
Oh-oh, I'll set you free

(I remember eyes that shined) I remember-ahhhh
(As they looked so hard back into mine) (all i want is you oo)

All I want is you

I remember-ahh (I remember words that fell like coins into a wishing
Well) (all I want is you)

'Cause you want what I want, 'cause you want what I want-aaay-oooh
Ohh ohh

(I remember eyes that shined as they looked so hard back into mine)
(all i want is you ooh, all i want is 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”.
