No, I never believed that. I really think One Step Closer from Lost Highway was registered as "Closer", it's the same three writers.

One Step Closer is registered as "One Step Closer".

Ok, it's the same three writers but Closer instead says: performers: Westlife.

I still think it's an ASCAP error confusing the two. Other sites list this writing team for that Westlife song:

Shanks, John Reid, Nicky Byrne, Kian Egan, Feehily, Shane Filan

This would be the correct listing for the Westlife song. I'm not ruling out it being a grand coincidence that the same three people also wrote an unreleased song the same name as a song that made the album that shares a very close name to their own but it feels like a registering error to me,.

I'm starting to forget the birthdays...
Happy Birthday N°59, David Bryan!

Has anyone heard Story of Love on the radio yet?

Also, BBC4 here in the UK are repeating Top of the Pops from 1990 on Friday nights, Blaze of Glory charted the previous week, unsure if Jon performs in the studio on one of the 2 episodes airing this Friday

Save a Prayer is not a song I listen to very often but man, I forgot how amazing this one is.

I loved it from the get go and always love hearing it shuffle in the mix on my runs.

About 6 months ago I bought the In These Arms 7” for Save A Prayer as I was disappointed to see the song not only missing from the KTF vinyl in the box set but also the bonus LP of other songs.

It’s a great track and one of the best on KTF. Defo in my top 3 from that album.

Do we know anything about this? Aldo states that Richie and Obie came to his studio do do overdubs for a live album. However he doesn't say when. We can assume it was for OWN but who knows. I don't like hearing that they overdubbed live recordings though.

After the New Jersey tour, the band was going to release a double live album... Probably due to a contract album fulfillment. Unfortunately it got scraped but Blaze Of Glory took its place. A good majority of those tracks eventually got released as b-sides and other compilations.

I could listen to these guys talk all day.
