All about Survivor
Who are Survivor: Jim Peterik and Frankie Sullivan composed the American rock band Survivor in Chicago in 1978.

The band continued to produce chart-topping singles like “Burning Heart” (US number 2), “The Search Is Over” (US number 4), “High on You” (US number 8), “Is This Love” (US number 9), and “I Can’t Hold Back” (US number 13).

Peterik was also inspired to change the band’s name because of his narrow escape from death when he was unable to attend a Chase concert scheduled for Jackson, Minnesota on August 9, 1974. Bill Chase and most of his band were killed in a plane crash that he wasn’t on.
Bickler and Peterik both worked as jingle singers before forming the band. Peterik sung the Beach Boys’ “Good Vibrations” in a Sunkist commercial.

Eye of the Tiger
Length: 4:03
Release: 1982
Opening Lyrics:
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
You change your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It’s the thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
Burning Heart
Length: 3:50

Opening Lyrics:
Rival nations
It’s a primitive clash
Venting years of frustrations
Bravely we hope
Against all hope
There is so much at stake
Seems our freedom’s up
Against the ropes
Does the crowd understand?
Is it East versus West
Or man against man?
Can any nation stand alone?
Just about to burst
There’s a quest for answers
The Search Is Over
Length: 4:12
Release: 1984
Opening Lyrics:
What you see is real?
Who am I to blame you
For doubting what you feel?
I was always reachin’
You were just a girl I knew
I took for granted
The friend I had in you
Loving for a moment
Taking on the world
That was just my style
Now I look into your eyes
I can see forever
The search is over
You were with me all the while
I Can’t Hold Back
Length: 3:58
Release: 1954
Opening Lyrics:
Turn the pages of desire
Now it’s time to trade those dreams
For the rush of passion’s fire
And I feel the hand of fate
Reaching out to both of us
I’ve been holding back the night
I’ve been searching for a clue from you
I’m gonna try with all my might
To make this story line come true
Ever Since The World Began
Length: 3:42
Release: 1982
Opening Lyrics:
As if somebody led my hand
It seems I hardly had to steer
My course was planned
And destiny, it guides us all
And by it’s hand we rise and fall
But only for a moment
Time enough to catch our breath again
Just another part of the plan
How one life touches the other
Is so hard to understand
Still we walk this road together
We try and go as far as we can
