Golden Earring are a Dutch rock band, founded in 1961 in The Hague by 13-year-old George Kooymans and his 15-year-old neighbour, Rinus Gerritsen. Originally called The Tornados, the name was changed to Golden Earrings when they discovered that The Tornados was already in use by another group. The name Golden Earrings was taken from a song, originally sung by Marlene Dietrich in 1947 and a hit for Peggy Lee in 1948, with which they opened their concerts. They later dropped the “s” from their name in 1969 to simply, “Golden Earring.
Golden Earring embarked on their first major US tour in 1969 – 1970, and were among the first European bands to do so. Due to American influences, their music evolved towards hard rock, and they performed along with Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix. Between 1969 and 1984, Golden Earring completed thirteen US tours. During this period, they performed as the opening act for Santana, The Doobie Brothers, Rush and .38 Special. In the early seventies, when Radar Love was a hit, they had KISS and Aerosmith as their opening act.
They enjoyed a brief period of US stardom but were unable to secure further chart success until 1982’s Twilight Zone. After a disappointing reaction in the US to When the Lady Smiles in 1984, Golden Earring turned their focus towards Europe where they continue to attract standing-room-only crowds. Golden Earring have recorded over 30 gold and platinum albums and singles. A number of artists like U2, White Lion, R.E.M. and Bryan Adams have covered their international hit and rock classic Radar Love. In total, over 200 covers exist of this song.
Golden Earring is perhaps the oldest rock band in the world that is still performing.
Somewhere in a lonely hotel room
there’s a guy starting to realize
That eternal fate has turned it’s back on him
It’s two a.m.
It’s two a.m. the fear has gone
I’m sitting here waitin’ the gun still warm
Maybe my connection is tired of taken chances
Yeah there’s a storm on the loose sirens in my head
I’m wrapped up in silence all circuits are dead
I cannot decode
my whole life spins into a frenzy
Help I’m steppin’ into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacon’s been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go
Now that I’ve gone too far
Help I’m steppin’ into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacon’s been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go
Now that I’ve gone too far
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
I’m falling down a spiral
destination unknown
A double crossed Messenger
all alone
I can’t get no connection
I can’t get through
Where are you
Well the night weighs heavy on his guilty mind
This far from the borderline
And when the hitman comes
He knows well he has been cheated
And he says
Help I’m steppin’ into the twilight zone
the place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacon’s been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go
Now that I’ve gone too far
Help I’m steppin’ into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacon’s been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go
Now that I’ve gone too far
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
When the bullet hits the bone
Help I’m steppin’ into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacon’s been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go
Now that I’ve gone too far
Help I’m steppin’ into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacon’s been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go
Now that I’ve gone too far
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know
When the bullet hits the bone
When the bullet hits the bone uh-huha
When the bullet hits the bone
When the bullet hits the bone uh-huha
When the bullet hits the bone
When the bullet hits the bone uh-huha
When the bullet hits the bone
When the bullet hits the bone uh-huha
When the bullet hits the bone

Lyrics:
Dreaming about the future and drinkin’ on the past
Tinkin’ about the things that been forgotten
Tryin’ to remember and tryin’ to forget
That my life is empty without you
Sayonara, close your eyes now little girl
because tomorrow is hidin’ a whole different world
Hold me now, you gotta guide me through the night
Hold me now, and make it last forever
Hold me now, be my guide just for a while
Hold me now, make my ice-cold blood turn warm
Talking about our friends in love, our friends with broken hearts
The one’s I always keep forgiving
That funny angel shot a poison pointed dart
tonight I wanna keep on living
For your love, close your eyes now little girl
because tomorrow’s hidin’ a whole different world
Hold me now, you gotta guide me trough the night
Hold me now, be my guide just for a while
Hold me now, make my ice-cold blood turn warm
Hold me now, make my ice-cold blood turn warm

Golden Earring early daysGolden Earring – Radar Love
Golden Earring – Radar Love
Lyrics:
I’ve been drivin’ all night, my hands are wet on the wheel.
There’s a voice in my head that drives my heel.
My baby call said I need you here.
It’s half past four and I’m shifting gears.
When she’s lonely and the longing gets too much,
She sends a cable coming in from above.
Don’t need no phone at all.
We got a thing that’s called radar love
We got a wave in the air
Radar love
The radio’s playin’ some forgotten song.
Brenda Lee’s coming on strong.
The road has got me hypnotized,
As I spin into a new sunrise.
When I get lonely and I’m sure I’ve had enough,
She sends comfort coming in from above.
Don’t need no letters at all.
We got a thing that’s called radar love
We got a line in the sky
Radar love
No more speed I’m almost there.
Gotta keep cool, now, gotta take care.
Last car to pass, here I go.
The line of cars drove down real slow.
The radio plays that forgotten song.
Brenda Lee’s coming on strong.
The news man sang his same song,
One more radar lover gone.
When I’m feeling lonely and I’m sure I’ve had enough.
She sends the comfort coming in from above.
Don’t need no radio at all
We got a thing that’s called radar love
We got a light in the sky
We got a thing and its called radar love
We got a thing that’s called
Radar love
