Madonna - This Used To Be My Playground

"This Used To Be My Playground" was a theme song for the film "A League of Their Own," which starred Madonna, Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, and Rosie O'Donnell. The single was a worldwide hit, spent one week at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in August 1992, and became Madonna's tenth single to reach number one. The song was then compiled in Madonna's 1995 ballads compilation, "Something to Remember." The song's lyric can be found here.

Tom Petty - Free Fallin'

"Free Fallin'" is the taken from Tom Petty's 1989 solo album, "Full Moon Fever." The song was written by Petty and his writing partner for the album, Jeff Lynne. Petty and The Heartbreakers performed the song at MTV Video Music Awards in 1989 with Axl Rose, and at the February 2008 Super Bowl XLII Halftime Show. Check the lyrics here.



Chicago - Look Away

Taken from the album, "Chicago 19," the single "Look Away" was released in 1988. When released as a single that year, the song proved successful, topping the Billboard Hot 100, though it's their last song to do so. See the song's lyric here.

Toto - I Won't Hold You Back

From Wikipedia: "I Won't Hold You Back" is a ballad by the American pop-rock band Toto, written by Steve Lukather for their fourth album, Toto IV and released in 1982 (see 1982 in music). The song reached the top ten, peaking at #10 in the U.S. on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Check also the lyrics.

Breathe - How Can I Fall

Breathe were a London based musical group formed in the early 80s. The one single that I ever heard of was "Breathe." I don't think that they sing other popular songs. What I loved in this video was in the last part, when the rain falls down. See the song's lyric here.

Roxette - Queen Of Rain

The single "Queen of Rain" was the second single taken from Swedish pop duo Roxette's album, "Tourism: Songs from Studios, Stages, Hotelrooms & Other Strange Places." I don't think I can explain anymore about Roxette other than they are really great singers. Check the lyric's here.

Debbie Gibson - Anything Is Possible

"Anything Is Possible" is taken from Debbie Gibson's third album, titled the same as the single and was released in November 13, 1990, under the Atlantic Records label. The album, though it's quite good, still doesn't has the same powerful beat and emotion compared to her previous albums. However, it's still Debbie Gibson. That day, she was an idol pop, and what she sang, anyone would buy it. See the lyric here.
