The Hassles
The Hassles were a rock group in the 1960s, most notable for recording the first releases to feature Billy Joel. The group released two full-length albums (United Artists Records) and a number of singles.
History
The original line-up of the group consisted of vocalist John Dizek, guitarist Richard McKenna, drummer Jon Small, and organist Harry Weber. In 1966 Weber was fired from the band due to excessive drug use, and was replaced by Howie Arthur Blauvelt and Billy Joel on bass and keyboards respectively. It is with this lineup that the band recorded their self-titled debut album in 1967. Blauvelt departed the band early in 1968 but returned later on in the year. Dizek departed the band in late 1968, at which point Joel took over on vocal duties. The band recorded their second album, Hour of the Wolf, in 1969, before disbanding. Following the demise of The Hassles Joel and Small formed the duo Attila, whilst Blauvelt later co-founded Ram Jam. Joel later went on to a successful solo career and Small became a video producer and director.

These Walls
by: Dream Theaterthis is so hard for me,
to find the words to say,
my thoughts are standing still.
captive inside of me,
all emotions start to hide,
and nothings getting through.
watch me, fading and losing,
all my instincts falling, into darkness.
tear down these walls for me,
stop me from going under,
you're not the only one who knows i'm,
holding back.
it's not too late for me,
to keep from sinking further,
i'm trying to find my way out,
tear down these walls for me now.
so much uncertainty,
i don't like this feeling,
im sinking like a stone.
each time i try to speak,
there's a voice im hearing,
and it changes everything.
watch me, crawl from the wreckage,
of my silence, conversation failing.
tear down these walls for me,
stop me from going under,
you're not the only one who knows i'm,
holding back.
it's not too late for me,
to keep from sinking further,
i'm trying to find my way out,
tear down these walls
every time you choose to turn away,
is it worth the price you pay?
is there someone who will wait for you?
one more time, one more time
watch me, fading and losing,
all my instincts falling into darkness.
tear down these walls for me,
stop me from going under,
you're not the only one who knows i'm,
holding back.
it's not too late for me,
to keep from sinking further,
i'm trying to find my way out,
tear down these walls for me.
tear down these walls for me,
it's not too late for me,
