Night Ranger - 'Wasted Time' (Live from Sweetwater Studio)

Maybe I’m not the one
You thought you knew
Gimme one chance
What have you got to lose
This is no time
To think whose right or wrong
And the band keeps playing
Everybody’s singing your song

And I try
And I try
And I try
And I try

Tell me that you love me
Cause we’re livin on wasted time
Tell me that you need me
We’re living on wasted time

Nice of you to think of me
When you’re feeling down
But I’d like to be the one you run with
When you’re out on the town
Sorry bout the scars they’re from
Too many times, I’ve been burned
Maybe I’m the one
I’m here shit outa luck

And I try
And I try
And I try
And I try

Tell me that you love me
Cause we’re living on wasted time
Tell me that you need me
We’re livin on wasted time
No don’t let me down easy
Cause we’re livin on wasted time

Maybe you’re thinking about
What you’re leaving behind
Maybe its time you’re alive
You can breathe you can fly
Come on girl let it fly

Tell me
We live on wasted time
Won’t you
Tell me that
We’re livin on wasted time

Tell me that you love me
We’re livin on wasted time
Tell me that you need me
We’re livin on wasted time
Oh yea Tell me that you love me
We’re livin on wasted time

Το μακρινό 1979 δημιουργήθηκαν οι Stereo. Την επόμενη χρονιά μετονομάσθηκαν σε Ranger για να λάβουν το 1982 το "τελικό" τους όνομα (Night Ranger), με το οποίο συνεχίζουν μέχρι τις ημέρες μας (με ένα μικρό διάλειμμα από το 1989 έως το 1991).

Έχουν κυκλοφορήσει δεκατρία full length albums, δέκα live albums, επτά συλλογές, τέσσερα videos / DVDs και μπόλικα singles. Συλλογή είναι το νέο τους δισκογραφικό πόνημα και η μουσική τους πρόταση για το 2026. Τιτλοφορείται "Night Ranger - Best Of" και κυκλοφορεί ήδη (από χθες), με το δελτίο τύπου να μας δίνει τις λεπτομέρειες:

Δελτίο τύπου: «Few bands have defined the sound of American melodic rock quite like Night Ranger.

From the thunderous riffs of “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me” to the soaring anthem of “Sister Christian,” this new Best Of collection captures the very essence of their decades-long career - now reimagined for 2026.

Featuring the classic hits alongside fan favorites and standout tracks from their most recent albums, this compilation spans the full spectrum of Night Ranger’s signature sound: anthemic choruses, blazing guitar solos and unforgettable melodies.

Highlights include the power-pop perfection of “(You Can Still) Rock in America,” the heartfelt balladry of “When You Close Your Eyes,” and the cinematic sweep of “Four in the Morning.”

But “Best of the last 20 years... and Some Hits” is not just a look back.

It also celebrates the band’s creative output over the last 20 years, spotlighting tracks like “Time of Our Lives,” “High Road,” “No Time to Lose,” “Somehow Someway,” and “Truth,” proving that Night Ranger’s energy, songwriting and musicianship have only grown stronger with time.

These songs show that the band continues to innovate while staying true to the melodic rock roots that made them legendary.

The current lineup - Jack Blades (bass and vocals), Kelly Keagy (drums and vocals), Brad Gillis (guitars), Eric Levy (keyboards), and Keri Kelli (guitars) - delivers every track with the energy and precision that have kept Night Ranger at the forefront of rock for more than four decades.

This edition also features two bonus tracks that make this compilation truly special: a fresh studio take on “Wasted Time” recorded at Sweetwater Studios, accompanied by an exclusive music video, and a festive live performance of “Feliz Navidad” that showcases the band’s playful side.

Perfectly timed ahead of their summer 2026 tour, this Best Of serves as both a definitive introduction for new fans and a must-have collection for longtime followers.

Whether revisiting the classics or discovering the new 2026 renditions and recent masterpieces, Night Ranger - Best of the last 20 years... and Some Hits is a celebration of enduring melodies, electrifying performances, and the unforgettable spirit of one of rock’s most iconic bands.»
