KISS Rocks the Stage with “Beth Live 4K”
“Beth” is a ballad by the American rock band KISS. It was released in 1976 as a single from their album “Destroyer.” The song is notable for its departure from KISS’s usual hard rock sound and its focus on a softer, more melodic style.
“Beth” is characterized by its gentle piano introduction and the lead vocals of drummer Peter Criss, who takes the spotlight in this song. It features a simple arrangement with minimal instrumentation, highlighting the emotional delivery of the lyrics.
Lyrically, “Beth” is a poignant song about a man on the road with his band, reaching out to his significant other (presumably named Beth) via a letter or phone call. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and the sacrifices made in pursuit of a music career.
“Beth” became one of KISS’s biggest hits and remains one of their most recognizable songs. Its softer, more melodic style broadened the band’s appeal beyond their typical hard rock fanbase. The song’s emotional resonance and relatable themes struck a chord with listeners, and it remains a classic in the rock ballad genre.
