Whore Lyrics

I’m the girl you’ve been thinking about
The one thing you can’t live without
I’m the girl you’ve been waiting for
I’ll have you down on your knees
I’ll have you begging for more
You probably thought I wouldn’t get this far
You thought I’d end up in the back of a car
You probably thought that I’d never escape
I’d be a rat in a cage, I’d be a slave to this place
You don’t know how hard I fought to survive
Waking up alone when I was left to die
You don’t know about this life I’ve led
All these roads I’ve walked
All these tears I’ve bled

So how can this be?
You’re praying to me
As I look in your eyes
I know just what that means
I can be, I can be your everything

I can be your Whore
I am the dirt you created
I am your sinner
And your whore
But let me tell you something baby
You love me for everything you hate me for

I’m the one that you need and fear
Now that you’re hooked, it’s all becoming clear
That all your judgments that you placed on me
Was a reflection of discovery
So maybe next time when you cast your stones
From the shadows of the dark unknown
You will crawl up from your hiding place
Take a look in the mirror
See the truth in your face

So how can this be?
You’re praying to me
As I look in your eyes
I know just what that means
I can be, I can be your everything

I can be your whore
I am the dirt you created
I am your sinner
And your whore
But let me tell you something baby
You love me for everything you hate me for

I am the dirt you created
I am your sinner
And your whore
But let me tell you something baby
You love me, you want me, you need me

Well I can be your whore
I am the dirt you created
I am the sinner
And your whore
But let me tell you something baby
You love me for everything you hate me for

(And I can be your whore)
(And I can be your whore)
(And I can be your whore)
Let me tell you something baby
You love me for everything you hate me for
You love me for everything you hate me for

Whore

Frontwoman Maria Brink told Steppin' Out magazine that despite its title, this is an empowering, beautiful song for women. She explained: "Everything that the word 'whore' means, that song rebels against. That song is sarcastic. It's kind of about learning how to let go of the power that we let other people hold over us with their words with their belittling. Nobody can control us, nobody has the power.... kind of freeing ourselves from the vulnerable, weak parts of us."

"When somebody calls you something demeaning or hurts you," Brink added, "we're the ones letting them hurt us by letting their words be that powerful. It's about letting go. If you listen to the words: I am the dirt you created. I am your sinner. I am your whore, but let me tell you something — you love me for everything you hate me for. It's all reverse psychology."

Brink created the term Women Honoring One Another Rising Eternally to give new meaning away from the derogatory connotation of the "whore" word. "This is an honest and raw movement that needs to be heard," she exclaimed. "The message behind this song is taking back control. It is about taking the power from a disgusting and degrading word and turning it back around on the accuser. It's about self-empowerment, love, and liberation."

Guitarist Chris Howorth added: "One of the best things about the song 'Whore' is all the feelings and thoughts that the word alone provokes, and that's great, but at the end of the day, it's just a word. The only power it really has is the power that we give it. It's really just about taking the power back from the word, and when you get past all the controversy of the word, you have a bombastic rock and roll song with crushing guitars and huge drums that will have you screaming whore at the top of your lungs!"

The song's voyeuristic music video was directed by longtime In This Moment videographer Robert Kley and set in prohibition-era New York. Maria Brink co-starred in the clip with Motionless in White vocalist Chris Motionless. "His look is so perfect for the dirty vintage feel of the video, and he was a perfect gentleman while being violated by me," said Brink.

"I knew how amazing placing the visual arts to 'Whore' would be when we wrote it, and I have been waiting to release this video since we recorded the song," she continued. "I am so passionate about the concepts and every single detail that goes into shooting a music video, and I created my own stimulating visual metaphor to make this - I am grateful to have worked with Robert Kley again, he always seems to help me bring what I see in my mind to life. 'Whore' is a song that pushes boundaries, and I needed the video to do the same. The song is about taking back control. It is about rising above and finding the power within ourselves. I hope everyone enjoys it!"

Cigarettes & Truckstops Lyrics

Cigarettes & Truckstops

In the vein of "Midnight Train To Georgia" (which was originally a Country song), "Cigarettes & Truckstops" finds Ortega singing about traveling a great distance to be with the man she loves. It's not practical, but when everything you see brings up cherished memories, it's time to get on the bus.

In our interview with Lindi Ortega , she explained that this song is not about heartbreak, describing it as "a song of nostalgia." Said Lindi: "It's actually more of a love song than anything else."

Ortega grew up in Toronto, but moved to Nashville in 2011, where she recorded this album. Many of the ghosts of Music City show up in her songwriting - she tells us that Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings and Merle Haggard are some of her influences. This song references a crossover Country classic released before her time: the line "you and I were islands in the stream" connotes the Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton duet.

Things To Stop You Dreaming

Mike Rosenberg is a British singer-songwriter and indie Pop/Folk/Rock singer who records under the moniker of Passenger. This is the opening track of his third album, All The Little Lights. Rosenberg explained to VH1: "It's a song about how difficult it is to remain positive and keep on pursuing what you love. You have to be grateful for what you have, and not always striving towards what's over there."

All The Little Lights Lyrics

One went out at a bus-stop in Edinburgh
One went out in an English park
One went out in a night club, when I was fifteen
Little lights in my heart

One went out when I lied to my mother
Said the cigarettes she found were not mine
One went out within me
Now I smoke like a chimney
It's getting dark in this heart of mine
It's getting dark in this heart of mine

We're born with millions
Of little lights shining in the dark
And they show us the way
One lights up, every time you feel love in your heart
One dies when it moves away

One went out in the back streets of Manchester
One went out in an airport in Spain
One went out, have no doubt
When I grew up and moved out
Of the place where the boy used to play

One went out when uncle Ben got his tumor
We used to fish and I fish no more
Though we will not return
I know one still burns
On a fishing boat of the New Jersey Shore
On a fishing boat of the New Jersey Shore

We're born with millions
Of little lights shining in the dark
And they show us the way
One lights up every time we feel love in our hearts
One dies when it moves away

We're born with millions
Of little lights shining in our hearts
And they die along the way
Till we're old and we're cold
And we're lying in the dark
'Cause they'll all burn out one day
They'll all burn out one day
Oh oh, they'll all burn out one day
They'll all burn out one day
Yeah, no

All The Little Lights

This is the title track of the third studio album by singer Mike Rosenberg who records under the moniker of Passenger. Born and bred in the United Kingdom, Rosenberg first took his act in October 2009 to Australia where he has earned a big following. All but one of the All The Little Lights tracks were recorded at Sydney's Linear Recording studio. He was joined by a core Australian band that included Boy & Bear drummer Tim Hart, jazz bassist Cameron Undy, and keyboards player Stu Hunter, from Katie Noonan & The Captains.

Passenger told VH1 that it is difficult to explain this song's meaning "without sounding a bit like a hippie." He added: "I think it's important with songwriting that you're honest, and you're vulnerable. There's a balance, because you don't want to specifically talk about yourself the whole time. You want to relate to people, and you want to give them the opportunity to put their own emotions into these songs — but every now and again, I like to put something specific and personal into them."

Circles Lyrics

It’s been years
Since we carved our names
On a clocktower door
Before everything changed
We were big eyed boys
With the salt on our skin
And we’d throw our kites to the wind

And they’d fly on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on

It’s been years
Since we whispered soft
With the torch light on
And the big light off
We were tired boys
With the soap on our skin
And we'd fall asleep to the wind

And we’d dream on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on

Cos we’re Circles
We’re circles you see
We go round round the sun
In and out like the sea
I’ll circle round you
You will circle round me

And in years
When the torch light thins
And the clock tower’s gone
And the big light dims
We’ll no longer be boys
We’ll have lines on our skin
And they’ll throw our dust to the wind

Circles

Mike Rosenberg (aka Passenger) wrote this song about his best friend. He explained to VH1: "We grew up together, we did everything together until we were about 16. I dropped out of school to become a musician, and he went to university. When we meet up, on one level, I know everything about him, but on another level, we're kind of like strangers because we've spent so little time together over the last 10 years."

Patient Love Lyrics

Got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket
I’m not gonna roll it no I’m not gonna smoke it
'Till we’re staring at the stars and the rockets
Twinkling in the silvery night

Two sips of whiskey in the flask but I’m not gonna drink them
I swear I’ll make it last
'Till we’re drinking out of the same glass again

And though the sand may be washed by the sea
And the old will be lost in the new
Well four will not wait for three
For three never waited for two
And though you will not wait for me
I’ll wait for you

Got a Polaroid picture in my wallet
I’m not going to tear it no I’m not gonna spoil it
It’s an unspoken heartbreak
A heartbroken handshake I’ll take with me where I go

And three words on the tip of my tongue
Not to be spoken nor sung
Or whispered to anyone
'Till I scream them at the top of my lungs again

And though the sand may be washed by the sea
And the old will be lost in the new
Well four will not wait for three
For three never waited for two
And though you will not wait for me
I’ll wait for you
I’ll wait for you
And I’ll wait for you

Got a pinch of tobacco in my pocket
I’m not gonna roll it no I’m not gonna smoke it
'Till we’re staring at the stars and the rockets
Twinkling in the silvery night

Patient Love

Mike Rosenberg (aka Passenger) wrote this sad song about an ex-girlfriend. He told VH1: "There's a line in the chorus, 'Four will not wait for three, for three never waited for two,' and I guess it's saying there's an inevitability (to breaking up)."

Holes Lyrics

I know a man with nothing in his hands, nothing but a rolling stone
He told me about when his house burnt down, he lost everything he owned
He lay asleep for six hole weeks, they were gonna ask his mother to choose
When he woke up with nothing he said I'll tell you something
When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose
Now I've got a hole in my pocket, a hole in my shirt, a whole lot of trouble, he said
But now the money's gone, life carries on and I miss it like a hole in the head

I know a woman with kids around her ankles an a baby on her lap
She said one day her husband went to get a paper and the mother fucker never came back
Mortgage to pay and four kids to raise, keeping the wolf from the door
She said the wolf's just a puppy and the door's double locked so why you gottaworry me for
Now he left a hole in my heart a hole in a promise a hole on the side of my bed
Oh but now that he's gone well life carries on and I miss him like a hole in the head

Well sometimes you can't change and you can't choose
And sometimes it seems you gain less than you lose
Now we've got Holes in our hearts, yeah we've got holes in our lives
Well we've got holes, we've got holes but we carry on

Well we've got holes in our hearts, yeah we've got holes in our lives
Well we've got holes, we've got holes but we carry on
Said we've got holes in our hearts, yeah we've got holes in our lives
Well we've got holes, we've got holes but we carry on

Said we've got holes in our hearts, we've got holes in our lives
We've got holes, we've got holes but we carry on

Said we've got holes in our hearts, we've got holes in our lives
We've got holes, we've got holes but we carry on
Said we've got holes in our hearts, yeah we've got holes in our lives
Well we've got holes, we've got holes but we carry on.

Holes

This was released as the third single from British singer-songwriter Passenger's All the Little Lights album. He told VH1: "It's a really hopeful song, I think. Some of the album is pretty sad, pretty dark, and I think 'Holes' is a really nice song to put at the end of a concert to bring the mood up."

After the breakup of his band Passenger in 2009, Mike Rosenberg kept the group's name for himself and took to busking for a solo music career. This song's music video is a film of a busking session in his home town of Brighton, England.

I Hate

This is a recording of a live performance by Passenger (Mike Rosenberg) at The Borderline in London. He told VH1: "'I Hate' is one of those songs I wrote in a bad mood, about all the stuff that annoys me. But it's a lighthearted moment in an album that's quite heavy. I'm not depressed, I'm not a sad guy - I'm really quite happy most of the time, and I want to get that side of myself into the music as well."

Rosenberg takes digs at X-Factor, Facebook, fussy eaters and even festival toilets in this song, and even says that Cher's face "looks like it's been hit by a truck." According to the singer, he was just getting out his frustrations, referring to this vitriol as "just harmless piss-taking." Rosenberg was on a bus in Australia when he wrote it, and quite uncomfortable, as it was very hot and there were crying babies onboard.

It's easy to fall in love
It's easy to fall in love with you

It's easy to fall in love
It's easy to fall in love with you

You go outside dressed like that
You knew what was going to happen didn't you
You talk to me like that
You knew I was slowly falling in love with you

And I...ooh

And I...ooh

You know it's your neglect
is the reason that I'm so obsessed with you
And when I asked you your name you said John Wayne
And I guess it's true
Coz then you shot me down
Doubled over and I hit the ground right in front of you
I guess in the Wild West
it's ok to shoot the pest that's annoying you

And I...ooh

And I...ooh

It's easy to fall in love
It's easy to be alone
It's easy to hate yourself
when all your love is inside someone else
It's easy to take it all
It's easy to give it to
when there's more people out there to love
than people who love you

And I...ohh

It's easy to fall in love
(It's easy to fall in love with you)
The reason that I'm so obsessed
(You knew what was going to happen didn't you)
I guess in the Wild West
(You knew I was slowly falling in love with you)
It's easy to fall in love
It's easy to fall in love with you

The John Wayne

This was released as Irish Indie-Rock band Little Green Cars' first single. LGC member Stevie Appleby told The Sun the story behind this song: "I went to a bar with my brother met a girl and fell head over heels in love with her. She was this very right wing Christian American and she did not like me at all. For some reason, because she was so American, it struck me there is a similarity between the ruthlessness of the Wild West and a modern love affair."

Do you like it when the meter's jumpin'?
You like the sound of them horses runnin'?
Do you like it when the tweeter's tweetin'?
Do you like it when the back seat's bumpin'?

Do you like a little kick in your coke
Do you like it goin' up in smoke
Do you like it on a gravel road
We can keep it on the down low

Tell Me How You Like It (tell me how you like it)
You know I wanna try it (know I wanna try it)
Baby if you don't mind it (if you don't mind it)
We can kick it down in four and you can drive
Pretty girl you can ride it
We can all night it (we can all night it)
You don't have to hide it (you don't have to hide it)
Just tell me how
Tell me how you like it

Do you like it on a riverbank
Do you like it when the sun done sank
Do you like it when the full moon's high
And it's shinin' down into your drink

Do you like it when the tailgate's down
Do you like it when we take it to the ground
Tell me baby, how does that sound
Either way, you know it's goin' down

Tell me how you like it (tell me how you like it)
You know I wanna try it (know I wanna try it)
Baby if you don't mind it (if you don't mind it)
We can kick it down in four and you can drive
Pretty girl you can ride it
We can all night it (we can all night it)
You don't have to hide it (you don't have to hide it)
Just tell me how
Tell me how you like it

Baby why you gotta look so pretty
With your hair so soft and long
You're damn sure turnin' me on
Tonight, we gettin' out of the city
Leave it all behind, get a little lost
Baby you make the call

Tell me how you like it (tell me how you like it)
You know I wanna try it (know I wanna try it)
Baby if you don't mind it (if you don't mind it)
We can kick it down in four and you can drive
Pretty girl you can ride it
We can all night it (we can all night it)
You don't have to hide it (you don't have to hide it)
Just tell me how
Tell me how you like it

Do you like it in the shotgun seat
With the highway flyin' right under your feet (tell me)
Do you like it with the radio on (just tell me how)
Tell me how you like it
Do you like it by the bonfire heat
If it gets too hot we can take it to the creek (I need to know)
Let's make it last all night long (just tell me how)
Tell me how you like it

Tell Me How You Like It

This song represents a slight change of pace for the FGL duo of Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley. They penned the cut with Nashville songwriter Chris Tompkins; the same trio also wrote the hit single "Get Your Shine On" with Rodney Clawson. Tyler Hubbard told Artist Direct : "It's a song we wrote back. We fell in love with it. It's got a sexy, different vibe, and we wanted to cut it for sure. It came from a different place. It's something you'd want to sing to girls on stage, and it's a fun make-you-want-to-dance song."

Lost River Lyrics

Lost River

As their name suggests, many of Murder by Death's songs have very dark themes. The band's cello player, Sarah Balliet, got the ball rolling on this one.

The Lost River is the name of a real river in Southern Indiana, where the band is from. Their frontman Adam Turla told us: "We drive by it a lot and we say, 'Oh, lost river.' It's a really great name - sort of conjures up great ideas. So we wrote a song about a person who drowned in that river and their spirit tries to drag down their lover with them, calling them to the river, like, 'Come on, come on in, the water's fine.' We do a lot of songs that are sort of supernatural."

Well, you don't call the action
You don't make the rules
You don't pay the piper
You don't even pay the fuel
So long, I guess that's that
Hey, hey, don't forget your hat

Well, it's a big old world out there
Go get it if you can
You got a ways to go
Before you get to be a man

Don't Forget Your Hat

This Blues boogie is one of several tracks on Privateering to feature the harmonica playing of Kim Wilson of the Blues rockers The Fabulous Thunderbirds. "One of the most important things about the blues to me has always been the harp," said Knopfler. "Seeing Muddy Waters as a kid made a big impression on me, the harp was burbling away all the time, the band was swinging. And to me the greatest modern exponent is Kim Wilson, he's been my top man for many years, so it was really great to have him on board. We hit it off straight away and got a great session going."

Sober Lyrics

I wanna walk that line a little crooked
And live my life a little on the rocks
Laughing every time I fail
Not afraid to make a fool of myself
And keep on dancing when the music stops

'Cause I love being in love
It's the best kind of drug
Drunk on the holy lean on your shoulders
Sweet like a wine as it gets older
When I die I don't wanna go Sober
When I die I don't wanna go sober

You're like drinking from a never ending bottle
When I think it's gone it's always a little more left
Lay back with you and close my eyes
Let the big ol' world just spin on by
And saying your name with my last breath

'Cause I love being in love
It's the best kind of drug
Drunk on the holy lean on your shoulders
Sweet like a wine as it gets older
When I die I don't wanna go sober
When I die I don't wanna go sober

I love being in love
It's the best kind of drug
Drunk on the holy lean on your shoulders
Sweet like wine as it gets older
When I die I don't wanna go sober

I love being in love
It's the best kind of drug
Drunk on the holy lean on your shoulders
Sweet like a wine as it gets older
When I die I don't wanna go sober
When I die I don't wanna go sober
When I die I don't wanna go sober

Sober

This Lori McKenna , Hillary Lindsey and Liz Rose penned song finds Little Big Town singing about not being too serious and enjoying life to the very end. Released as the fourth single from Tornado, it was performed by the band on TV for the first time on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno during the program's September 26, 2013 episode.

Little Big Town's Kimberly Schlapman explained the song's meaning: "It's a great way of saying, first of all, we're all in beautiful relationships in our lives, and we don't want to live without that," she said. "It's a wonderful way of saying, 'I'm drunk on your love and I don't ever want to be without it."

Kimberly's first husband died of a heart attack in 2005 before finding happiness again with Stephen Schlapman. She told People magazine that the song hits especially close to home for her. "I have experienced what it means to lose the love of your life," she said. "And I've experience what it feels like to love again after great loss, so this song touches me so deeply in my heart."

Karen Fairchild, who is married to bandmate Jimi Westbrook added, "'Sober' reminds of me when Jimi and I first fell in love."

The song's Reid Long-directed music video was shot as Little Big Town crossed the country in 2013 when they served as the opening act on Keith Urban's Light the Fuse Tour.

Little Big Town's Jimi Westbrook described the song as "hazy sunshine." He explained that while listening to the tune, he thought of "the boardwalk… those places that have the piers that go out, and they've got the Ferris Wheels and people holding hands."

The Slot Tech

This song was mentioned in interviews from mid 2011 through to mid 2012 in the lead-up to the release of Battle Born. Despite being referred to a number of times, it was omitted from the final tracklisting. The seven-and-a-half minute epic concerns the men who service the thousands of slot machines and one-armed bandits in Brandon Flowers' Las Vegas hometown. He told Q magazine: "My wife has family who are slot techs. We all know people employed in the casinos and I have worked there myself. It's a great way to tell stories about ordinary folk in extraordinary circumstances."

A Rumor Of Skin Lyrics

You deleted your evidence
You depleted yourself
Face down wasn’t good enough
You had to give me your hell

Not much more inside of me left to lose
No one hates me quite like you
Let me show you the proof

I don’t mind my own self-loathing
And I don’t need help from you
I know I’m lonely
But what am I supposed to do?

You believe that you’re innocent
You’re relieving your guilt
The Jury seems to be deadlocked
Look at the drama you built

Seems like everyone’s guaranteed damaged truth
What makes someone hate like you?
And is there something to prove?

But I don’t mind my own self-loathing
And I don’t need help from you
I know I’m lonely
But what am I supposed to do?

Oh, I don’t mind my own self-loathing
And I don’t need help from you
(I don’t mind my own)
I know I’m lonely, but what am I supposed to do
(I don’t want to know)
With all my coldest memories of you?
(I won’t give my all)
I know I’m angry… and I don’t know need help from you
(I don’t want to know)

A Rumor Of Skin

This is a track from House Of Gold And Bones: Part 1, the first half of a double concept album about a character called The Human who wakes up in a mysterious world, where he comes across various characters including one who is his doppleganger called Allen. The Human is instructed by his look-a-like to find the House of Gold and Bones before the before an event called the Conflagration takes place. Frontman Corey Taylor told Artist Direct how this song fits into the storyline. "It's basically the first meeting between Allen and The Human," he said. "When I'm hearing that, I see the moment when they're in the building. There's the smoky mess that will eventually coalesce into Allen holding the cigarette and smoking. That's what I hear in my head as that happens."

"As he starts to coalesce, that's where the real back and forth starts to come about." continued Taylor."There are three different voices going on. There's one which is Allen, one which is The Human, and one in the background that's doing the melody line from 'Gone Sovereign,' I don't know if people really catch that."

Taylor told Artist Direct the song's main riff came from an accident. "I was sitting there playing guitar," he explained. "I did this slide down to go to an open e-chord, and I missed it by half a fret. I built everything on top of that. I had the melody for the chorus, but I even had the chords for it. Putting that together was really awesome."

Hand On Heart Lyrics

Come on come on,
I'm right, I'm wrong and when I'm wrong I say.
We always had the good and bad
And that will never change.
This is the closest, I've ever been
Oh yeah.

The give, the take,
The mend, the break,
And so the cycle goes,
We're doing well, we've been through hell,
And only heaven knows,
How far we get too,
Thank god I met you ooh,
And if you don't know.

Just put your hand on my heart,
Put your hand on my heart,
And I don't have to say yeah,
And I don't have to think yeah,
Just put your hand on my heart
Just put your hand on my heart.
You know.

Come on come on
'cause you're the one that I want for myself
The strength you give I wanna live,
Inside our little shell.
Nothing comes close too,
Nothings supposed too yeah.

You have your doubts the same way I do,
When you're out safe in my love that's the truth.

Just put your hand on my heart,
Put your hand on my heart,
And I don't have to say yeah,
And I don't have to think yeah,
Just put your hand on my heart
Just put your hand on my heart.
You know.

When you don't feel that you're strong enough to make it,
When life treats you hard and don't think you can take it,
When you don't the way you stand you're close to breaking,
Just put your hand on my heart,
Put your hand on my heart

Just put your hand on my heart,
Put your hand on my heart,
And I don't have to say yeah,
And I don't have to think yeah,
Just put your hand on my heart
Just put your hand on my heart.
You know.

Just put your hand on my heart,
Put your hand on my heart,
And I don't have to say yeah,
And I don't have to think yeah,
Just put your hand on my heart
Just put your hand on my heart.
You know.

Hand On Heart

This was the third Olly Murs single following "Heart On My Sleeve" and "Heart Skips a Beat" to feature the blood-circulating organ in its title. It was released as the lead single from the singer's special re-issue of his third studio album Right Place Right Time.

Olly penned the song in collaboration with Tom Barnes, Wayne Hector, Iain James, Pete Kelleher and Ben Kohn. During his RPRT Listening Party on UStream, he said this was the last song he wrote in the studio, he loves the melodies and it's his favorite song on the record.

The video is an almost a shot-for-shot remake of Robbie Williams' 1997 clip for "Angels." The black-and-white promo was directed by Vaughan Arnell - who also shot the original Angels visual. Murs is seen in the same locations as the original video and Williams - who was joined by Murs on his Take The Crown tour - makes a cameo appearance. Speaking of the vid, Robbie stated: "Imitation is the highest form of flattery. I am easily flattered, and I love Olly. We always have a good time together and this was no exception."

When Murs arrived at the session, the songwriters already had this song half-written, and they played it to him. The six of them then quickly completed the tune.

Murs recorded a new version of the tune for its single release. He told Glamour magazine: "We wanted to change the intro to the song and add more strings and backing vocals."

On Top Of The World Lyrics

If you love somebody
Better tell them why they're here 'cause
They just may run away from you

You'll never know what went well
Then again it just depends on
How long of time is left for you

I've had the highest mountains
I've had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but not til you move it

Now take it in but don't look down

'Cause I'm On Top Of The World, 'ey
I'm on top of the world, 'ey
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, 'ey
Been holding it in for a while, 'ey
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world

I've tried to cut these corners
Try to take the easy way out
I kept on falling short of something

I coulda gave up then but
Then again I couldn't have 'cause
I've traveled all this way for something

Now take it in but don't look down

'Cause I'm on top of the world, 'ey
I'm on top of the world, 'ey
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, 'ey
Been holding it in for a while, 'ey
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world

'Cause I'm on top of the world, 'ey
I'm on top of the world, 'ey
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, 'ey
Been holding it in for a while, 'ey
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child

And I know it's hard when you're falling down
And it's a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now

And I know it's hard when you're falling down
And it's a long way up when you hit the ground
Get up now, get up, get up now

'Cause I'm on top of the world, 'ey
I'm on top of the world, 'ey
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, 'ey
Been holding it in for a while, 'ey
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I'm on top of the world

On Top Of The World

This upbeat track finds Imagine Dragons celebrating a breakthrough for the band after striving for years to become successful. The song originally appeared on the band's major-label debut EP Continued Silence, before appearing on their debut studio album Night Visions. Released as the LP's third single, it topped the chart in Portugal and also reached the Top Ten in Australia, Austria, The Netherlands and New Zealand.

The Matt Eastin and Corey Fox directed video was filmed in Utah and plays on the long-held conspiracy theory that the first moon landing was staged. Blades Of Glory actor Jon Heder has a cameo as a Russian cosmonaut. Other people to appear in the video include Raising Hope's Whit Hertford, the cast of Studio C, Nico Vega singer Aja Volkman, and Fictionist guitarist Robbie Connolly.

The visual also contains a number of several blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments, including several nods to Stanley Kubrick films and the Paul is dead urban legend that surrounded the Beatles (see the white car's changing license plate around the one-minute mark). "It's a very different video; if you've watched our videos, you know to expect the unexpected. But I think this is my favorite," frontman Dan Reynolds told MTV News. "There's a lot going on it it, some if it is subliminal. 'Sno Gard.' I'll say that. It has no meaning to you, but when you see the video, you'll be like 'Sno Gard ... okay, Dan gave me a good hint.'"

The phrase "Sno Gard" — which is "Dragons" spelled backwards features several times in the clip.

The song was licensed for inclusion on the soundtrack of the FIFA 13 and Pro Evolution Soccer 2013 video games. Other appearances in the media include serving as the opening theme of the short-lived CBS comedy series Partners and being used in a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 advert.

This was performed by the PS22 Chorus during Barack Obama's second United States presidential inauguration.

I Hope It Rains Lyrics

I heard you got yourself a date already
Funny, thought you needed your space just five nights ago
I bet you'll take her to our favorite spot,
Blanket down, on the ground, and chicken from momma's stove,
And when you pull her in close

I Hope It Rains on you,
Maybe a little bit of lightning too
And I hope it comes a flood, lots of mud,
Messin' up your whole day
Hey hey, and I hope it rains

Don't get me wrong, I hope she's really the one
And if it's love you know I wish you the best
You'll probably have yourself an outside wedding,
With violins, all our friends, and her in her pretty white dress
And right before that first kiss

I hope it rains on you,
Maybe a little bit of lightning too
And I hope it comes a flood, lots of mud,
Messin' up your whole day
Hey hey, and I hope it rains,
And I hope it rains

I hope it rains,
Hope it pours,
I hope she's in heels, and some little white shorts
You can't find the keys to unlock the doors

And I hope it rains on you,
Maybe a little bit of lightning too
And I hope it comes a flood, lots of mud,
Messin' up your whole day
Hey hey, and I hope it rains,
And I hope it rains
And I hope it rains

I Hope It Rains

Kramer told Radio.com that rather than take every song pitched to her, she has to relate to it firsthand. Case in point: this Jerry Flowers, Kelley Lovelace and Rachel Proctor penned tune, which she thought was perfect the moment she first heard it. "I never want to be too mean with my songs, but with 'I Hope It Rains,' it was definitely somewhere in the middle with being sassy and then also a little class in there as well," she said. "It was a good blend for me and who I want to be perceived as an artist. With that song, it says everything I want. The guy knows that I want his days to be ruined, but in a nicer way."

Scream Hallelujah Lyrics

Scream Hallelujah

Black Light Burns is led by Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland, whose credo is evident on this song. "I was thinking how I would probably kill myself if I was in a 9-to-5 cubicle type of job," he said in our 2013 interview . "I thought about how all these people in the world are looking at their phones all the time at dinner and they're watching reality television and how most of the things that they're talking about conversation-wise are either gossip about other people, or they're talking about a show that they watched."

Explaining the song if further detail, Borland told us: "'Scream Hallelujah' was a lament; it was a very sarcastic lament encouraging people to just stay on the tracks that they've been put on, stick to the ideals that their parents instilled in them as they were growing up. Don't stay inside and watch that s--tty show over and over again until you're unable to breathe in the plastic bag that you put over your head to kill yourselves.

It's almost like worshiping Western culture and how just f--ked it is, not in a paranoid way where I think that they're putting something in the water that's brainwashing everyone, but they're definitely putting something through our televisions and through the food we're eating and through fashion magazines and through insane maniac, everyone panic type of media. Giving people all this stuff to worry about and talk about that really doesn't matter at all. People are basing their whole lives on it, so it's almost like a religion."

The vocals were written before the music was composed for this song. Wes Borland feels that many of his best songs begin with the words, as it's easier for him to come up with riffs to match a strong set of lyrics than the other way around.
