Steelheart - 'Lips Of Rain' (Official Video)

Lips Of Rain was filmed at The Bonneville Salt Flats and on the hills of Malibu, California. The Salt Flats is a densely packed salt pan in Tooele County in Northwestern Utah. The area is a remnant of the Pleistocene Lake Bonneville and is the largest of many salt flats located west of the Great Salt Lake. Entertainment filmed at the salt flats include portions of Knight Rider, Warlock, Independence Day, SLC Punk, Cremaster 2 from Cremaster Cycle, The Brown Bunny, The World's Fastest Indian, Gerry, The Tree of Life, Top Gear, and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End & "LIPS OF RAIN” - “ STEELHEART".

The video was shot in three days with temperatures rising to the high 90’s and a UV rating of 8. Despite of all the challenges, the crew pulled together and shot an amazing video.

Mili is still an incredible vocalist especiall considering all the rehab he had to go through after that horrific stage accident back when Steelheart was just getting the recognition it deserved. This man is INCREDIBLY talented!!!

[MarkCox]

Here 2020! Who loves this band still?? Perfect comeback.

[kevinmccarthy]

Milijenko Matijevic is a legend, STEELHEART has had some amazing ballads. Early 80’s ROCKER here, BIG HAIR BANDS is my style. Nothing like 80’s / early 90’s TRASHER METAL, HARD ROCK, and OH THE LOVE BALLADS for sharing with the ladies. I’m 57 years old and still love a slow love ballad to do a lil bump and grind with a hot lady that can take my mind back to those days. The 80’s early 90’s the GREATEST TIMES and ERA OF THE GREATEST MUSIC OF ALL TIMES. When I die I want to live in peace back in the 80’s and dance eternity away with the angles that have past before me.

[TheDiannel]

Just love how Miljenko interprets every song he sings. A man who feels with his whole being.

[MrElton]

Probably the most Underrated Band of Hard Rock History . Mile's voice is incomparable !

[rmax]

One of the most beautiful songs ever made. His voice has not aged at all. He's one of the all-time greats!

[anitarockarazza]

His voice is so magical! And Steelheart such underrated band! Wish they come one day on Tour to Germany or Austria!! My big dream to see them live! ..Every song is a masterpiece!! Thanks Mili!!

[REDWASP]

This angelic man has the best voice ever...Truly an angel from God!

[ShredmasterX]

This song is pure magic. Every part of it has a unique vibe, and the combination makes an exceptional piece of music. I love the young Mili's voice, but the older Mili of today has a more mature voice that still features the technical aspects of his early years.
Last but not least, I need to mention the quality of the video. In a time of clips with one thousand pictures every second, this clip with just two beautiful locations (Bonneville Salt Flats and Malibu) conveys an atmosphere of stillness and serenity. I really admire the genius of Mili as a composer, lyricist, singer and director.

Lyrics:

I can't wait to close my eyes
Kiss your lips of rain
When the flowers bloom to wine
I will come alive

I never thought I could love anyone
The way I'm loving you
I took a chance on holding you
And I fell on through

Hell I tried to move on
But your love keeps coming strong
Now everyday I die in my heart
In tears I'm hanging on

I can't wait to close my eyes
Kiss your lips of rain
Feel your love again
When the flowers bloom to wine
I will come alive

You are my... flame
My flame... flame...

I never thought I could dream with anyone
The way I dream with you (dream with you)
Take me through the worlds of stardust
Back through Heaven and Hell,
I'm home (Hell, I'm home)

I can't wait to close my eyes
Kiss your lips of rain
Hold my love again
When the flowers bloom to wine
I will come alive

Hold me now
Let me breathe
Save me from myself
You know my wounds are deep
Where angels roam
I'll be coming home to stay

I can't wait to close my eyes
Kiss your lips of rain
Feel your love again
When the flowers bloom to wine
You are my life
