Songoftheday 7/1/20 - There's no one to hear you might as well scream, they never woke up from the American dream...
from the album Your Little Secret (1995)
Billboard Hot 100 peak: #40 (three weeks)
Weeks in the Top-40: 3
Today's song of the day comes from rock singer/songwriter Melissa Etheridge, whose album Your Little Secret had already spun off a top ten rock radio hit with "Your Little Secret", as well as a top-40 pop single in "I Want To Come Over" in the spring of 1996. The third and final song promoted to radio would be the midtempo rocker "Nowhere To Go". Written by Melissa, who produced the track with Hugh Padgham, it was another romantic desperation ode in the Springsteen/Mellencamp tradtion done better...
"Nowhere To Go" became Melissa's fifth top-40 pop hit (and most recent solo one) in October of 1996. The song also climbed to #9 on Billboard magazine's Adult Top-40 radio chart, and #24 on their Adult Contemporary (or "easy listening") format list. Internationally, the song climbed all the way to #4 in Canada.
