Songs Of Life (Bret Michaels Album)
Songs of Life is the second solo studio album by Bret Michaels, lead singer of the rock band Poison. The album was released April 22, 2003 and coincides with the same date of his two-year-old daughter Raine's birthday. The album is written and produced by Bret Michaels, Cliff Calabro and co-produced by Jeremy Rubolino. The music is inspired by events from Bret Michaels life.
The first single released from the album was "Raine", a song dedicated to his daughter Raine Elizabeth Sychak born on May 20, 2000. The album also features "Bittersweet" (the second single to be released), "One More Day" (a 9/11 tribute), and "Menace to Society" (which features a live Montage music video released on Bret Michaels website).
"Stay with Me" was recorded earlier on the very unique storytellers CD Ballads, Blues & Stories, but was not released on a full music studio album until now.
"Raine" also features Michaels first solo music video which was directed by award winning director Shane Stanley. The video was shot in ten locations over six months also containing some of Bret's actual family footage and is included on the enhanced cd release, as well as exclusive footage not shown in the TV version.
A music video was made for the song "One More Day (9/11 Tribute)" on the 10 year anniversary of 9/11.
