I'm supposed to have it made, but I feel just like you do." At a concert in Chicago in 1980, DeYoung further explained the song as follows: Eric Hegedus of ''The Morning Call'' noted that "Why Me" is one of the songs on ''Cornerstone'' reminiscent of Styx's previous style (as opposed to songs like "Babe," "First Time" and "Boat on the River") and found it similar to "I'm O.K." from Styx' prior album ''Pieces of Eight''. ''Wichita Beacon'' reviewer Terre Johnson stated that "Why Me" (along with "Babe" and "Love in the Midnight" from the same album) incorporates St ...

Living Years
''Living Years'' is the second album by Mike + The Mechanics, released in 1988. The album reached number 13 on the US ''Billboard'' 200 and number 2 on the UK Albums Chart. History Mike Rutherford began writing songs for the album in September 1987, shortly after the conclusion of Genesis's Invisible Touch Tour. However, he found himself immediately stricken with writer's block, a circumstance he attributes to stress over the complications with his wife's pregnancy, which endangered their child's life. The baby (Rutherford's third) was safely delivered in November, and Rutherford said that the relief made him feel "like a new man". In January he entered an extremely prolific songwriting period, and by the end of the month he had what he and producer/co-writer Christopher Neil felt was a good album's worth of material. In light of this, Neil wanted to move up the recording sessions, which had been scheduled for April. Rutherford vetoed the idea, however, and with his burst of ...
