Basically, a slow and soft song using some of the bombastic elements of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. A typical Power Ballad will open with a solo keyboard or acoustic guitar, with more instruments and more elaborate melodies brought in as the song progresses, building up to a dramatic finale. A loud drum fill leading into the chorus (to reassure fans that this is still a rock song) is common, and an electric guitar solo around the halfway point is pretty much obligatory. A Song Style Shift to something louder and faster can also occur toward the end of the song. The lyrics usually talk about love, but not always. If done wrong, power ballads are very susceptible to becoming Narm and called "cheesy" as a result; if done right, they can be powerful tear jerkers and be considered "epic". Or a mix of the two. While those particular genres don't have a monopoly on the style by any means, Power Ballads are closely associated with Heavy Metal and especially Hair Metal, with bands looking to switch up things by doing a song of a noticeably slower style than most of their fare, often as a way to showcase their singer's voice. It often intersects with Surprisingly Gentle Song, but a key distinction is that Power Ballads still try to shoehorn in some Hard Rock stylings. While some early prototypes of the style date to the end of The '60s, it was fully formed by the start of The '80s. The term "power ballad" itself became familiar enough for Billboard magazine to use it in 1982, the same year that one possible Trope Codifier candidate, "Open Arms" by Journey, was a huge hit (a Trope Codifier case can also be made for REO Speedwagon's "Keep On Loving You" from 1981). Practically every Hard Rock band in that decade had a few of these in their set lists. Many Power Ballads broke through and became big hits, which often led to this trope overlapping with Black Sheep Hit. |

Versailles has at least one power ballad per album: "The Love from a Dead Orchestra" on Lyrical Sympathy, "windress" on Noble, "Amorphous" and "Serenade" on JUBILEE, and "DESTINY -The Lovers-" and "Remember Forever" on Holy Grail. The Japanese version of "Love will be born again" is also a power ballad (the original English version is just a ballad). | |

Ozzy Osbourne's two most successful songs are the ballads "Mama, I'm Coming Home" and the duet with Lita Ford "Close My Eyes Forever". The former is his only top 40 hit as the sole credited artist, even though the hard rocker "Crazy Train" from his debut album is widely considered to be his signature song (despite not appearing on the Hot 100 at all, nor having the studio version promoted by a contemporary music video like his hit ballads were). "Revelation (Mother Earth)" and "Diary of a Madman" are structured this way, but are too scary and intense be described as "ballads". |

Although far from the type of band typically associated with the style, Air Supply's "Making Love Out of Nothing at All" is very much a power ballad. Thanks in no small part to an accidental meeting between them and producer-composer Jim Steinman, best known for similar power ballads with Meat Loaf and Bonnie Tyler. | |

Korean idol rock band FT Island are well-known for their rock ballads which generally consist of many high and/or Incredibly Long Note's courtesy of main vocalist Lee Hongki (and sometimes subvocalists Lee Jaejin and Song Seunghyun), melancholy piano and angsty electric guitars. Their most successful one is debut song "Lovesick" and others include "Distance", "Severely" and "Madly". | |

"When I'm With You" by Sheriff. A minor hit in 1983, it was re-released and hit #1 in 1989, four years after the band had broken up. After lead singer Freddy Curci and guitarist Steve DeMarchi unsuccessfully tried to talk the others into reuniting, they grabbed some ex-members of Heart and formed Alias. Their biggest hit, "More Than Words Can Say" (not to be confused with Extreme's "More Than Words") could serve as the textbook example of a Power Ballad. | |

Journey's "Faithfully", "Open Arms", and "Why Can't This Night Go On Forever?", etc. Steve Perry's biggest solo hit, "Oh Sherrie", alternates between power ballad-ish verses and a more uptempo chorus, but somehow still gets airplay on "Soft Hits" stations. A purer example of his is another hit from the same album, "Foolish Heart". |

Avenged Sevenfold have a couple on every album. "Warmness on the Soul" in Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, "I Won't See You Tonight, Part 1" in Waking the Fallen, "Seize the Day" in City of Evil, "Dear God" and "Gunslinger" in Avenged Sevenfold, "So Far Away" and "Victim" in Nightmare, "Crimson Day" and "Acid Rain" in Hail to the King, "Angels" and "Roman Sky" in The Stage. And then there is "Fiction", which drummer The Rev wrote just before his death, and doesn't feature a single note of guitar. | |

Military History-drenched power metal band Sabaton has a fair number of these, often having to with the human cost of war. Some notable examples: The Art of War has Cliffs of Gallipoli and The Price of a Mile. Carolus Rex has three: En livstid i Krig/A lifetime of war, Konungens likfärd/Long live the King, and Ruina Imperii. Heroes has the haunting Inmate 4859, The Ballad of Bull, |

"Behind Blue Eyes", by The Who, is possibly the Ur-Example. "Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You" by Led Zeppelin, and "Heartbreaker" by Grand Funk Railroad predate that by a good two years. The Zeppelin song is more musically-advanced and influential, but "Heartbreaker" is no less definitive. Although it's not an example, a lot of the musical ingredients of Power Ballads can be found in "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by The Beatles, mainly in the heaviness of the backing Paul McCartney (on bass and keyboards) and Ringo Starr (on drums), and especially in both guitar solos by Eric Clapton. McCartney's "Maybe I'm Amazed" also could be considered a Power Ballad ancestor. In the Wings era you have "My Love" (Henry McCullough more-or-less invented the Power Ballad guitar solo in this song) and "Warm and Beautiful". Post-Wings, "No More Lonely Nights" and "Beautiful Night" count. The main trope codifiers are probably "In Trance" by Scorpions, and "Love to Love" by UFO. "In Trance" is the earliest example of the Scorpions' style of power ballad that was so popular during the 1980s, while "Love to Love" was the model for power ballads with lush arrangements, and had a very slow build-up. Triumph's "Lay it on the Line" is pretty much the blueprint for the hair band version of the power ballad, with its vocal harmonies and borderline-Marital Rape License lyrics, although Triumph themselves were not a hair band. The chorus of "Lay it on the Line" borrows from the solo and later vocal section of "Stairway to Heaven" by Led Zeppelin, itself an early example and influence on many power ballads. As for the rest of the Who's catalogue, "Love, Reign O'er Me" could also be considered an early precursor to this trope, although "Behind Blue Eyes" predates it by two years. |

Sigh's "Requiem - Nostalgia" could be considered a Black Metal take on this trope, though by the standards of most other genres it would be too heavy to be considered a ballad, thanks to the Metal Scream. It is, of course, subverted in Sigh's inimitable fashion when it ends with a Standard Snippet (Fryderyk Chopin's Minute Waltz, to be precise) overlaid with hundreds of samples of giggling babies. | |

Arch Enemy - "Reason to Believe" from the band's tenth album Will to Power is a primarily clean-sung power ballad which showcases Alissa White-Gluz's vocal range.note Although there are still death growls in the song. The other songs on that album follow their usual Melodic Death Metal style. | |
