Original by Lowen and Navarro...such a brilliant song. As performed by the writer. Pat Benatar's cover is quite brilliant also, of course.

The mp3 doesn't play (so listen to the youtube) I'm hoping Rick will show me how to provide a link so you can hear this wonderful story about how Eric & Dan wrote this song....I believe Dan was on Rick's radio show for an interview and related this?
Lowen & Navarro is a songwriting team composed of Eric Lowen and Dan Navarro, who met in Los Angeles, California in the 1980s. They wrote the song "We Belong", which became a major hit for Pat Benatar in 1984. Starting in 1990, they released a number of records of their own. They have been Lowen & Navarro since 1987.
On March 17, 2004, Eric was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Because of compromises to Eric's playing and singing, Lowen & Navarro has ceased touring. Their final shows were held June 5, 2009 in Annapolis MD at the Ramshead and June 6, 2009 in Alexandria VA at The Birchmere. Dan Navarro continues to tour as a solo performer.
Dan Navarro is the cousin of guitarist Dave Navarro.
"Keep The Light Alive: Celebrating The Music of Lowen & Navarro" was released November 2009 with L&N songs performed by Jackson Browne, John Ondrasik of Five For Fighting, Keb' Mo', The Bangles, Severin Browne, Joel Rafael, Andy Chase, The Refugees, Freebo, Eddie From Ohio, Phil Parlapiano, Charlie Wadhams, and Stonehoney. The proceeds of the album benefit The Eric Lowen Trust, ALS Association Greater Los Angeles, and Augie's Quest.
