誰もかれもがラップまがいのロックをしていた、大流行した Hard Rock & Heavy Metal ブームが下火になったからと目新しいファンクロックに乗り換えていた頃だ。
イギリスではマンチェスターブームが生まれた頃だろう。
そんな時にデビューしたのがThe Rembrandts だ。
皆さんには、世界的に大ヒットしたSitcome Drama ドラマ 『Friends フレンズ』のオープニング曲「I’ll Be There For You」で全米ヒットチャートNo.1に輝き、世界的に有名になった2人組だというと「アー!」と理解して頂けるでしょう。

Although best known for the hit songs “Just The Way It Is, Baby” and “I’ll Be There For You [the theme from Friends],” The Rembrandts have been making music together for nearly 40 years. Danny Wilde and Phil Solem’s earliest collaborations date back their 1970s band Great Buildings. But it was in 1990 when the Solem traveled from his home in Minneapolis to visit in Wilde in Los Angeles to write and record some demos that would eventually become The Rembrandts debut. Since then, The Rembrandts have sold millions of albums, earned a Grammy nomination, and garnered critical acclaim. Their signature harmonies and catchy hooks have attracted fans all around the world. With additional Top 40 hits like “Johnny Have You Seen Her,” “Someone,” “Burning Timber” and “This House Is Not A Home” the band continues to tour 25 years after their first hit.
When you were mine
The stars above were bright and new
I pulled them down for you
Just when I fell in love again
You said that all good things must endBaby, that’s just the way it is Baby
Baby, that’s just the way it is Baby
I never had a head for solitaire
It’s so unfair
That I’d should have my chance and lose
Feel like I’ve been used to help you
Through another night
You spelled in out in black and whiteBaby, that’s just the way it is Baby
Baby, that’s just the way it is Baby
The tides that had once carried you away
They bring you back again today
Time has washed away my pain
You’ll find that things have changed
And disappeared without a trace
You can’t get back what you’ve erased
And I say
Baby, that’s just the way it is Baby
That’s just the way it is
Baby, that’s just the way it is Baby
That’s just the way it is
Baby, that’s just the way it is Baby
Baby, that’s just the way it is Baby
Baby, that’s just the way it is Baby
Baby, that’s just the way it is Baby
Baby, that’s just the way it is Baby
Baby, that’s just the way it is Baby
