        One of my fave CVH solos.

        Different side to Dave, vocally and lyric-wise.

        Definitely one of the strongest tracks on Diver Down.

          It's beautiful.

          You have to laugh when Van Hagar fans cite it as evidence that CVH did ballads.

          Comparing 'Secrets' to 'Love Walks In' shows a total lack of any understanding about music.

            I'm not opposed to ballads by default.

            I was opposed to 1980s power ballads that cribbed their lyrics from Hallmark greeting cards, and tread out the same old tired cliches that had been done before, and better, by artists ranging from the classic artist roster of Motown to even the Doors and Touch Me.

            Secrets had a cool series of verses that displayed unique images; a way of saying the same old thing in a different and interesting way.

            Van Hagar ballads read like a list stolen from a Life's Little Instructions poster. Neither inventive nor sincere. Just pap.

                Great fucking song that one I say!!! I love showing people this tune that have never herd it before. Has a sound of its own. Eddie and Roth in their prime making great music. Oh how would it be if we had another 20 years of that stuff!!!! God Damit!!! I get pissed when I think about it!!! We have all been robbed of years of great VH tunes cuz Eddie is a dumb ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                  Haha yes it's my goal, and it only takes about 5 minutes. I'm seriously 15, and I do have a life (it's a miracle haha) but yeah Live life and enjoy it, it's what I do.

                        The bottom line to Van Halen was the groove...

                        and this fucking song grooves more than any other VH tune...

                        it's one of 2 or 3 reasons that Fair Warning is a good album...
                        "Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."

                          You mean Diver Down?

                          Very suprised It wasn't a huge hit for CVH, It sounds very Pop-Friendly, Which isn't neccesarily a bad thing..

                              it's not my fave VH tune, but it's a winner for me, no question..it's one of the few tunes or songs that 'saved' Diver Down in my book...'Secrets' is one reason why i still spin and like Diver Down inspite of stuff like Dancing in the Street and Big Bad Bill that make me shun the album from time to time..
                              Music is like girlfriends to me; I'm constantly amazed at the choices other dudes make----DLR
