Paul from Quincy, Mi He dedicated this song to "John" when Styx did a live concert in Chicago, anyone know who John is ? Released as a single in early 1977, it was the only number-one song for the group in the UK. On the album, the song is dedicated to Chuck Panozzo, John's twin brother, who suggested the name change of the song, from "Roll Me Away" to "Show Me the Way." The lyric is rather vague, but it's clear he is seeking guidance, asking another to "show him the way." "Show Me the Way" is a song written by British-born rock musician Peter Frampton and originally released on his 1975 album "Frampton" and as a single. Way to the Show Lyrics: Call me, even on the way to the show / Way to the show, candy paint down to the floor / Call me, give it all away to the show / Way to the show… In this song, Frampton is a drowning man looking for someone to throw him a life preserver. Show me the way to go home I'm tired and I want to go to bed I had a little drink about an hour ago And it's gone right to my head Everywhere I roam Over land or sea or foam You can always hear me singing this song Show me the way to go home. "Show Me the Way to Go Home" is a popular song written in 1925 by the pseudonymous "Irving King" (the English songwriting team James Campbell and Reginald Connelly). It gained its highest popularity as a song from his 1976 live album Frampton Comes Alive! Show me the way, show me the way Take me tonight to the river And wash my illusions away Please, show me the way. "Show You the Way to Go" is a song written by Gamble and Huff and recorded by the Jacksons for their 1976 CBS debut album, The Jacksons. They, along with "Do You Feel Like We Do," were the monster hits from his commercial breakthrough, Frampton Comes Alive, and both were originally featured on his fourth studio album, 1974's Frampton. The song is said to have been written on a train journey from London by Campbell and Connelly. "Show Me the Way" is a song written by Dennis DeYoung and released as the second single from Edge of the Century by Styx. It is, to date, Styx's 8th and last top 10 Billboard single. "Show me the way" was the song that helped Lead secure the spot for Best Newcomer during the 44th annual Japan Record Awards at the end of 2002, alongside the band day after tomorrow, Mika Nakashima and Sachika Shino. It was later covered by Dannii Minogue in 1992. It peaked at #3 on the pop singles chart in March 1991.
Peter Frampton's name is synonymous with two songs: "Baby I Love Your Way" and "Show Me the Way." Show me the way, show me the way Take me tonight to the river And wash my illusions away Please, show me the way And as I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment dreams are sacred I close my eyes and know there's peace in a world so filled with hatred Then I wake up each morning and turn on the news to find we've so far to go Show me the way, Show me the way Take me tonight to the mountain And wash my confusion away And if I see you light, should I believe Tell me how will I know We cry out again to god asking to help us find a way to deal with it and shed some light on the situation, but then we fear deception from others, and ask how to recognise the truth.
