    It's so extremely good. It just brings out all these emotions in me when I listen to it. I love the atmosphere in that song.
    This jackass probably just put all the song titles on pieces of paper and in a hat and drew randomly his little Top 5 list...

        Is that the song that Hagar said was his "Stairway to Heaven?"
        No, that was a song called "Between Us Two" which they never finished. Hagar wanted it on the "Twister" soundtrack along with "Humans Being" but apparently Danniels wanted them to hold something back for the greatest hits record, and Eddie (who was sober at the time) realized how bad the lyrics were, so they pulled the song, and Eddie & Alex substituted that instrumental piece "Breaking Wind" or whatever it was called.

          well that figures.... I'd pretty much purged that abomination of a song from my mind. Probably the worst song on "Balance" though "Not Enough" is a close second. And the rest of the record isn't much better.

          Just listening to Not Enough on spotify. I am blushing by embarrassment for them. Oh, god those backing vocals...

          It needs so much more of

                Hold on a sec....

                You first said, "What's the song with the immortal I am you and you are me...lyrics?"

                That is MWM....

                THEN you said "If I were you and you were me van Halen"

                THAT is Feelin'.....

                      The title of the article is misleading as there were no Van Halen where Roth was not involved...it was simply Eddie's solo project.
                      Now who`s that babe with the fab-u-lous shad-ow?

                                I think Between Us Two was Hagar's love song between himself and his obsession with comparing everything he does with Zeppelin.
