Shaw Blades
Shaw–Blades is an American musical duo/group formed by Tommy Shaw of Styx and Jack Blades of Night Ranger, both of whom played in the supergroup Damn Yankees. It is an informal duo which has produced two albums between other projects, 1995s Hallucination & 2007s Influence. The first two songs on "Hallucination" -- "My Hallucination" and "I'll Always Be with You" -- received modest airplay. "Influence" consisted solely of 1960s & 70s cover songs that influenced them. Blades' son Colin, an experimental songwriter himself, contributed backing vocals and arrangements to the album. Shaw-Blades also recorded a cover of the classic Christmas song entitled "The Twelve Days of Christmas" on the A Classic Rock Christmas album by various classic rock artists in 2002. Shaw–Blades did a short tour of America in Spring 2007 and another in Autumn 2007. Both members still principally record and perform with the acts which made them famous.

She Bleeds
by: EMFI met her on a midnight flight
From mexico to san delight
I saw her on a top floor bar
That glows flourescent from afar
She's real to me
I have a place for my feelings
Beneath purple colored ceilings
And when I wanted to be free
I says to her to leave me be
She left alone
And she think that tomorrow holds
Things she remembered from the past
Everything she wants
She gets everything she needs
She smiles, she sighs, and she bleeds
I saw her on a railway station
As I pass a faded destination
I saw her smiling in a crowd
When we played some far off distant land
I felt so alone
And she thought you were taking risks
The chances you took would never last
Everything she wants
She gets everything she needs
She smiles, she sighs, and she bleeds
She's real to me
I saw her in an alleyway
Streetlights dim with frustration
She comes at night when I pray
And brings a moment of elation
I see her distant coming near
I almost want her to be here
But when she comes she disappears
I'd wait if I was patient
And you don't know what cages are
Cages don't always have bars
Everything she wants
She gets everything she needs
She smiles, she sighs, and she bleeds
