I get so confused as to which 80's song i'm listening to! <br>Thanx for the memories. my favorite line in that song is “reach out, I'm drowning not waving”…. also makes me think of Phil Collins song “In the Air Tonight”, “if i saw you drowning, I would not lend a hand”…

My apologies, I stand corrected! And I completely agree with you about the magical power of Castronovo’s drums and for me, from that album, the menacing aura of his drums and Schon's guitar at the beginning of Ghost In Your Heart is unequaled....though it's probably difficult to argue it's a power ballad.
