Kiss - Strange Ways Lyrics and Youtube Music VideosAlbum:
Hotter Than Hell Released:
1974 Well, it's a strange way
The way you look at me
And it's a hard time
Time you been givin' me
Come on and open up
Open up to me
So you can realize
That I could set you free
Strange Ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days
Well, it's a strange place
That you've been livin' in
And it's a strange line
You've been deliverin'
I think I like it
But I'm not really sure
Don't wanna to fight it
Just wanna feel some more
Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days
Strange ways, twisted days

LyricFindStrange Ways Ace Frehley: "I love 'Strange Ways.' I just came up with the riff. It was one of those inspired, heavy tunes. I didn't feel comfortable as a singer at that point. Gene and Paul are very intimidating people. A lot of the time they tend to make people feel inadequate. It took me a while to get over my feeling of inadequacy. I didn't think I was as good a singer as I am. It took me a while to come out of my shell. Whenever I wrote songs in the early days, I'd always ask Peter (drummer Peter Criss) to sing so he would get some of the spotlight. I wasn't that secure with myself as a singer around Gene, Paul and Peter. They were all confident lead singers and even though I knew I could sing, they didn't encourage it, so, I just kind of laid back. 'Strange Ways' was never performed live by KISS. I had forgotten just how heavy it was. One of my favorite guitar solos is the one on 'Strange Ways'. It was done in one take. I just closed my eyes and that's what came out. Usually, I record in the control room, but for that solo I went out and stood in front of the amp and got that wild feedback bend at the beginning. It sounded like a dinosaur." Peter Criss: "Ace wrote it and I sang it. It was really different for me, really heavy and new. I'd never sung anything like it, it wasn't exactly R&B. It was a great challenge to me and I loved it."
