More Than Words - Extreme - MP3 instrumental karaoke

US rock titans Extreme attempted to add more meaning to the ubiquitous phrase 'I love you' on their gushy 1980 smash hit single "More Than Words." Written by Extreme’s Gary Cherone and Nuno Bettencourt, the song shows the softer side of the Boston glam-metal heroes who formed in 1985 and scored high on the hard rock barometer. "More than words / Is all you have to do to make it real / Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me / 'Cause I'd already know," they sing on this uncharacteristically sentimental acoustic ballad. The fifth track on the band's best-selling second studio album Extreme II: Pornograffitti (1990)—which shot to number 10 on the Billboard 200, was certified double platinum in the US and featured track titles like "Li'l Jack Horny" and "He-Man Woman Hater"—"More Than Words" feels like a sonic outlier on a record of steely riffs, abundant testosterone, and high-octane rock.
