Face Dances, Pt. 2
"Face Dances, Pt. 2" is single written and composed by Pete Townshend, most famously known as the guitarist for the Who. The song appears on Townshend's 1982 solo album ''All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes''. Background Pete Townshend said that the song, in addition to the other songs on ''All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes'', was about his personal experiences of alienation from both his wife and band members from the Who that he experienced during the early 1980s. Although it shares a title with it, "Face Dances Pt. 2" was not released on Townshend's band The Who's album ''Face Dances''. In the liner notes for ''Face Dances,'' it is claimed that the song was written after the release of the Who album, but authors Steve Grantley and Alan Parker claim in their book, ''The Who By Numbers: The Story Of The Who Through Their Music'', that the song was cut from the album.

Song Recordings Produced By Pete Townshend
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers ...
