【Melodic Rock/AOR】Firehouse (ITA) - This Is My Life 1988~Emily's collection

【Pls look at the top comment first】Back to the glorious 1980s, let's review the story of Italian hard/melodic rock icon Firehouse. The band should be distinguished from American hard rock legend Firehouse, but is as great as American band Firehouse. Both bands are immortal, whose songs should never be forgotten by global fans.

Formed in Milan in 1986, Firehouse is not a prolific band with only two albums during their active years between 1987 and 1994. Nowadays Italian band Firehouse has become a name of the past. When American Firehouse became a global star and spread widely across continents, few people knew and heard there were epic sounds from Milan by an underrated band, which was also named "Firehouse".

Firehouse was formed by two brothers Enzo Caruso and Franco Caruso. In those active years, the band experienced line-up changes in the two albums. The albums didn't spread widely, including all brilliant songs. The 1988 ST debut was only released on vinyl. Without big labels for album releasing and promotion, Firehouse became a submerged band whose songs were rarely mentioned in the following decades until the year 2021, seeing a light to make their songs revive.

In 2021, a superb 2CDs compilation was released, entitled "The Story Of Italian A.O.R. Band 1987-1994". From the title, we know this compilation includes all the past songs by Firehouse which they recorded in their active years. The compilation can make fans know Italian band Firehouse and hear their epic songs. These songs were originally included in the ST debut (1988) and the second album "Labyrinth (1994)".

This compilation is always worth collecting for whoever loves the best tunes of nostalgic melodic rock gems. They have no weak songs and each song by Firehouse can touch fans in the hearts. We can hear rock passion from their flaming songs and deep emotion which they put in the soulful ballads. It's never too late to review these songs as blessings for ears.

The debut was recorded by five members. This album was released earlier than the 1990 debut by American Firehouse. It didn't get commercial success as their songs were rarely heard on the music scene. But one thing which should never be missed is that Italian Firehouse played simply amazing and excellent melodic rock gems, which carry a sense of nostalgia and never let fans down.

It is never too exaggerated to say that the songs by Italian band Firehouse stand on the top level of 1980s melodic rock and this is one of the most brilliant bands of Italy, which melodic rock fans should never be missed. After six years in 1994, the second album "Labyrinth" was released and the band had a line-up change on bass and drums. Firehouse kept good music creating and performing and make hooks continued in their works.

The album "Labyrinth (1994)" was recorded by a reformed four-piece Firehouse with two new members' joining, bassist Paola Casalini and drummer Gianluca Scollo. Musically, a lot of songs by Firehouse feature splendid and magic keys in both albums. Lead vocalist Enzo Caruso also played keys in the band. Compared to the debut, the second album includes more hard rock gems, triggering every flaming heart to keep rocking.

This song we are listening to is the last track from the debut and the CD 1 of the compilation. This soulful ballad "This Is My Life" carries a romantic vibe and features Enzo Caruso on keyboards. In CD 2, a song called "In My Eyes" carries the same musical sensation as "This Is My Life" with deep emotion. The Caruso brothers are excellent songwriters for hard rock and aor. Their music works grab ears and hit hearts, impressive and unforgetabble.
