World Of Strange Design Lyrics

Well you’re not from around here
You’re probably not our kind
It’s hot from March to Christmas
And other things you’ll find

Won’t fit your old ideas
Their line is shifting sands,
You walk across a ghostly bridge
To a crumbling promise land

[Chorus]
If Jesus came from Mississippi
If tears began to rise
I guess I’ll start at the beginning
The World Of Strange Design

Well I’d like to have the ocean
But I’d settle for the rain
Humbly as for true love
There was such a price to pay

This room was filled with trouble
And sacraments deceived
And I’m with you, we’re in the shade
Of his weeping willow tree

If Jesus came from Mississippi
If tears began to rise
I’ll have to go back to the beginning
In this world of strange design

We talk about your drinking
But not about your thirst
You set off through the mine field
Like you were round in first

So open up their window
And hand the baby through
Point up towards the ghostly bridge
And she’ll know what to do

If Jesus came from Mississippi
If tears began to rise
They’ll have to go back to the beginning
In this world of strange design

World Of Strange Design

Cash told Uncut magazine about this song: "I was allowing my madness to run riot, free – associative staff," she said. "I thought if I was really in that dense, weird, wonderful South and looking out for a minute – how might my world be, how might it look? Well... Jesus would come from Mississippi. I was able to tap into some madness."

Land of Opportunity Lyrics

I'm sailing away, to a Land of Opportunity.
The sun will shine, and birds will sing there everyday
I'm sailing away, and I hope that you remember me.
It was fun, we had our run. Hip hip hooray!

You said 'hello', I loved you so,
Just like in a movie scene.
I want you to know, I had to let go,
I'm falling in love again.

I'm running away, to a place where you won't bother me.
We won't talk for a while, we'll be okay.
And I'm changing my name to a word that's really hard to say.
It's no one's fault, I'm just too young, and you're insane.

I wasted my time, I missed all the signs,
And it ruined my holiday.
I want you to know, I had to let go,
I'm falling in love again

I just gotta believe there's something better.
I just gotta believe there's something more than you and me.
I've just gotta believe, I've just gotta believe.

You said 'hello', I loved you so,
I felt like a kid again.
I want you to know, I had to let go
I'm falling in love again.

I just gotta believe there's something better.
I just gotta believe there's something more than you and me.
I've just gotta believe, I've just gotta believe.

I'm sailing away to a Land of Opportunity.

Land of Opportunity

A Great Big World had a falling out with a friend around the time they wrote this song, which was inspired by the music they were listening at the time -The Beatles' Abbey Road album and ELO's "Mr. Blue Sky."

The trumpet solo is played by A Great Big World's Chad Vaccarino - he had just started playing the instrument again.

I Really Want It Lyrics

So tell me what are we living for?
I say we chuck inhibitions
And sell our souls to rock and roll
I need to know what I'm missing

So turn it up on the stereo
Somebody light the ignition
What the hell are you waiting for?
It's time to make a decision

(Nah-oooh)

I'm feeling the world go round
It's spinning me upside down
I'm finally homeward bound
I'm not giving up
It's crawling under my skin
And I don't care if I sin

I Really Want It
I really want it
I really want it right now
I really want it right now

If there's a maker up above
Then why is nobody listening
You show me hate, and I'll show you love
It's not about your religion

We're always lookin' to someone else
Just take a look in the mirror
'Cause all you need is inside yourself
It couldn't be any clearer

(Nah-oooh)

I'm feeling the world go round
It's spinning me upside down
I'm finally homeward bound
I'm not giving up
It's crawling under my skin
And I don't care if I sin

I really want it
I really want it
I really want it right now
I really want it right now

The more we love, the more we learn
The more we love, the more we burn
The more we love

So tell me what are we livin' for
I say we chuck inhibitions
And sell our souls to rock n' roll
I need to know what I'm missin'

(Nah-oooh)

I'm feeling the world go round
It's spinning me upside down
I'm finally homeward bound
I'm not giving up
It's crawling under my skin
And I don't care if I sin

I really want it
I really want it
I really want it right now
I really want it right now

I Really Want It

A Great Big World explained the background of this song to The Huffington Post : "We had recently quit our day jobs and were 'full-time' musicians and writers for the first time," they said. "We were stepping into a new role in life and really honing in on our dreams. This was us venting and sort of rebelling against the norm and what was expected of us. It was a way to tell ourselves that we could have it all if we wanted it."

Everyone Is Gay Lyrics

If you're gay then you're gay
Don't pretend that you're straight
You can be who you are any day of the week
You are unlike the others
So strong and unique
We're all with you

If you're straight well that's great
You can help procreate
And make gay little babies
For the whole human race
Make a world we can live in
Where the one who you love's not an issue

'Cause we're all somewhere in the middle
We're all just looking for love to change the world
What if the world stops spinning tomorrow?
We can't keep running away from who we are

If you're gay then you're gay
If you're straight well that's great
If you fall in between that's the best way to be
You've got so many options
Every fish in the sea wants to kiss you

'Cause we're all somewhere in the middle
We're all just looking for love to change the world
What if the world stops spinning tomorrow?
We can't keep running away from who we are

And we're all here in it together
We're one step closer to breaking down the walls

Everyone Is Gay

A Great Big World told The Huffington Post the background to this song: "Our friends at EveryoneIsGay.com asked us to write the 'gayest song ever' for their compilation album they were putting together. They give advice to kids who are struggling with their sexuality. We wanted to speak to the kids who are bullied for being who they are, and to write a song we wish we could've had growing up. Because in the end, we're all human, no matter who you love."

I Don't Wanna Love Somebody Else Lyrics

Oh, I built a world around you
Oh, you had me in a dream,
I lived in every word you said
The stars had aligned
I thought that I found you
And I Don't Wanna Love Somebody Else

Oh, we left it all unspoken
Oh, we buried it alive
And now it's screaming in my head
Oh, I shouldn't go on hoping
Oh, that you will change your mind
And one day we could start again
Well I don't care if loneliness kills me
I don't wanna love somebody else

Oh, I thought that I could change you
Oh, I thought that we would be the greatest story that I tell
I know that it's time to tell you it's over
But I don't wanna love somebody else

Cheer Up!
'Cause nothing really matters when you look up into outer space
It's a great big world and there's no need to cry

Cheer up!
We're all interconnected to the reaches of the galaxy
And my best friend says he came from the sky
He traveled to the Earth aboard a pink spaceship,
It's hard for him to hide behind those eyes

Cheer up!
The atoms in your body are as old as every dinosaur
You're a special part of one big grand design

Cheer up!
We're all in this together to discover what we're living for
Thirteen billion years and there's still time

Every night I wish upon a star so bright,
Waiting for the others to arrive

Cheer up!
'Cause nothing really matters when you look up into outer space
It's a great big world and there's no need to cry
Thirteen billion years and there's still time

A Great Big World's Ian Axel told The Huffington Post the story behind this song: "We had just visited Yosemite and saw all the stars for the first time," he said. "You just can't see any in New York City. And seeing them gave us a new perspective on everything."

"When we got home, I was talking to my parents and they were stressed out about something, and I wished they could've gotten to see what we saw in Yosemite," he continued. "That's what inspired this song. And also the fact that I had just gotten myself a Casio keyboard from the '80s, and also that we have a friend who we SWEAR is from another star system."

True Trans Soul Rebel Lyrics

True Trans Soul Rebel

This is a track from Transgender Dysphoria Blues, a concept album where the Against Me! frontwoman formerly known as Tom Gabel shares her rebirth as Laura Jane Grace. She told NME regarding the song: "I tried to write as if I was someone else on this track, about when you're starting to experiment with going out and presenting as female... But you have nowhere to f---ing go because you don't want to be seen out by friends."

The song was performed live by Against Me! For the first time at the Ogden Theatre, Denver on May 30, 2012. Grace had publicly come out as transgender earlier that month, announcing plans to transition to living as a woman.

An acoustic version of the song was released as a Double A-sided single with "F---MYLIFE666" on July 12, 2013. The artwork features Jame "Buffalo Bill" Gumb, a character from the 1991 movie The Silence of the Lambs, who was often wrongly described as transgender.

Drinking With The Jocks Lyrics

Drinking With The Jocks

This song finds Against Me's transgender frontwoman Laura Jane Grace detailing her attempts at camouflaging herself as a heterosexual man. She told NME: "Being in a punk band, more and more I'm in a situation where it's a bunch of dudes sitting around making homophobic comments, or being sexist or racist, and I would find myself laughing along and feeling disgusted with myself afterwards. I hope it makes people uncomfortable."

Grace expanded on the song's meaning to Spin magazine: "That song, in particular, was inspired by a night where I wasn't necessarily hanging out with punks," he said. "It's more self-criticism of knowing that, okay, I'm a transsexual, but no one else in this circle of people here knows that, and everyone else is laughing at faggots and everyone's being homophobic, and you're laughing along, too, and you're lying to yourself."

"It didn't necessarily have anything to do with punk rock," he added," but at the same time, just being that I've played in a punk band for as long as I have, a lot of my experiences, of course, are going to be around that world or are related to that, and I have seen an unfortunate amount of, be it sexism or homophobia or whatever, in the punk-rock world, where people are like, 'I'm not really racist, but here's a racist joke' or 'I'm not really homophobic, but here's a homophobic joke.' And it's a shame to laugh along."

F---MYLIFE666

Transgender Dysphoria Blues deals with gender dysphoria, following the coming out of Against Me's frontwoman Laura Jane Grace as transgender. This song finds her reflecting on the effect it had on her wife, Heather.

Laura Grace told NME: "'F--- my Life' is something that my friend Pope, who died, used to say a lot of the time. And this song is really about my relationship with my wife in a lot of ways."

Two Coffins

Against Me! frontwoman Laura Jane Grace wrote this song for her daughter, Evelyn, who was born in 2009. "It's about mortality," she told NME. "And realizing that all the things in your life are temporary."

Laura Jane Grace expanded on the song to Kerrang!: "When you have a kid, all the clichés are true. It changes you. Your perspective changes immediately, and time starts to move in a different way. You have these moments of realisation about who you are, where you are in your life, your age in comparison to your parents... It's a real head trip."

"Having a kid of my own way, please see things from so many different angles, and going through having my daughter (Evelyn) while accepting gender dysphoria and dealing with it, it really take me a sense of my own mortality. It may be realise that death is real, and obviously all of us are going to confront it in our own time. It's part of life that I'm going to die someday and my daughter is going to die some day, and I hope I die before my daughter."

The black-and-white animated video starkly visualizes the song's themes. The clip was directed by the Verona, Italy-based animator Margherita Ballarin.

Black Me Out Lyrics

Black Me Out

Laura Jane Grace told NME: "It's an angry song, 'Write me off, f---ing forget about me.' It's really just a 'f--- off' to negative people. The 'f--- you' attitude is what attracted me to punk when I was 13 years old."

Do you hear a Bruce Springsteen influence in this song? Bruce does. He told NPR: "'Black Me Out,' it's a fantastic song, you know. And so, any time where you feel you may have dropped a seed or two that someone picked up in any way is, it's just a pleasure. I mean it's like, 'Oh yeah, I did that little part of my work well,' in that this was an assistance and someone went and made something beautiful of their own or crazy of their own about it or whatever, however it comes out."

Grace explained the song's meaning to Spin magazine: "It's an angry song," he said, "and it's about feeling like you have certain relationships in your life where you have to fake the person that you are and be inauthentic and compromise yourself to people you work with or people you see out at a bar who corner you — who make you the kind of person that you aren't, really — and feeling like you're so angry that you just want to be like blacked out from someone's existence, like, 'F---ing forget about me, don't think about me anymore, I do not exist to you anymore.' That kind of feeling."

Heaven's Wall Lyrics

Heaven's Wall

This out and out Gospel rocker couched in Biblical language is most likely an outtake from Springsteen's proposed Gospel album, which he eventually scrapped for the more political Wrecking Ball. However, Springsteen felt it deserved a proper studio recording and gave the demo to producer Ron Aniello to play around. Aniello told Rolling Stone: "On 'Heaven's Wall' we took the basic track and jumped on there with overdubs. That's pretty much the original, vocal, drum and bass."

This was one of eight tracks on High Hopes that Tom Morello played on. The Rage Against The Machine guitarist also toured with the E Street Band during the Australia leg of Springsteen's Wrecking Ball World Tour. "He became a filter that I ran my music through," Springsteen told Rolling Stone. "He would send the songs back to me with a very current slant on them . . . He jolted those songs into the now. He's one of the few guitarists that creates a world by himself. It's like the Edge or Pete Townshend or Johnny Marr. The E Street Band is a big house, but when Tom is on stage he builds another room."

The New York Chamber Consort provided the orchestral instrumentation. The string section also played on three Wrecking Ball tracks as well as the High Hopes tunes "Dream Baby Dream" and "Just Like Fire Would."

Do It All Over Again Lyrics

This one's for the girls that like to lose their minds
They hit rewind and then they lose their minds
Hey, this one's for a girl that keeps me up all night
She's working overtime, my heart's working overtime

So hey girl, hey girl, why you hesitate, girl?
'Cause I gotta see pretty and it's right by me tonight, tonight
Wait girl, wait girl, why you complicate, girl?
I got money in my pocket and I kinda wanna blow it tonight, tonight

So if I lose my head tonight
Don't forget to tell the morning light
To wake, wake me up, up, up in time
And Do It All Over Again, do it all over again

Do it all over again,
Do it all over again,
Do it all over again,
Do it all over again.

Let's go to a place we've never been before
I wanna see it all so let's see it all
Can't stop, won't stop till we've seen the freaking world
It's just outside the door so what you waiting for?

So hey girl, hey girl, why you hesitate, girl?
'Cause I gotta see pretty and it's right by me tonight, tonight
Wait girl, wait girl, why you complicate, girl?
I got money in my pocket and I kinda wanna blow it tonight, tonight

So if I lose my head tonight
Don't forget to tell the morning light
To wake, wake me up, up, up in time
And do it all over again, do it all over again
Do it all over again,
Do it all over again,
Do it all over again,
Do it all over again.

Let's go, let's do it again
We've got time, let's sleep every other weekend
Let go, put your hands up higher
And higher and higher

Hold on if you feeling the love
Baby, take another second just to dial it up
Hit play, rewind, turn back in time
We start the night till the sunrise

So if I lose my head tonight
Don't forget to tell the morning light
To wake, wake me up, up, up in time
And do it all over again, do it all over again

Do it all over again,

Do It All Over Again

English singer-songwriter Elyar Fox was first noticed on YouTube where he'd been uploading his cover versions of hit tunes and cultivating a fan base of "Foxers." As views on his YouTube channel reached over 10 million, Elyar attracted increasing interest from all of the UK's major labels, before eventually signing with Global Talent, in conjunction with RCA.

This song was released as the lead single from Elyar's debut album and was co-written by the singer himself. Asked by District MTV what inspires his music, Eylar replied: "I guess I just write about things that are going on in my life, I'm always doing things and meeting new people and girls, and that's a big inspiration for me."

Sunshine & Whiskey Lyrics

Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Chilling on a beach with my sweet Georgia peach.
Not a care in the world, just trying to beat the heat.
Body like an hourglass, sand on her feet.
I can't help but stare cause I got the best seat.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any hotter you slid on in,
Said, "I'm a little hot and bothered, if you know what I mean.
Let's crank it up to a hundred degrees."

Alright, you hit me like fire, shot me like a bullet.
Burned me up and down, no way to cool it.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
It's like a bottle of Jack straight to the head.
One shot, two shot, copper tone red.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.

Slow driving south with the drop top down,
Hair in the wind, Tom Petty up loud.
You gave me that look, you licked them lips.
I said, "Hang on baby, better pull over for this."
Don't wanna get DWK, driving while kissing they'll put you away.

You hit me like fire, shot me like a bullet.
Burned me up and down, no way to cool it.
But every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
It's like a bottle of Jack straight to the head.
One shot, two shot, copper tone red.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.

Well you hit me like fire, shot me like a bullet.
Burned me up and down, no way to cool it.
But every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Hit me like fire, shot me like a bullet.
Burned me up and down, no way to cool it.
But every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Like a bottle of Jack straight to the head.
One shot, two shot, copper tone red.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.
Every time you kiss me it's like sunshine and whiskey.

Sunshine & Whiskey

Ballard released a live video of the song in which he prefaced the tune by labeling it "self-explanatory." He added with a laugh, "I've found myself in a little bit of trouble from time to time in my music career, in a honky tonk and being on the road, and the two things that have always put me there, in trouble, are women and whiskey, and that's what this song is about."

Ballard told Radio.com the song helped him find the sound he was looking for on his sophomore album. "The way we arranged it, sonically speaking, that sound is going to be identifiable with the record," he explained. "It's a fun song, 'Every time you kiss me, it's like sunshine and whiskey.' It's a summertime thing."

The song also worked as an album title as well. "I felt like it really wrapped its arms around all the songs," Ballard said. "If nothing else, maybe people in Walmart will look at it and go, 'Sunshine and whiskey?' and at least give it a second glance."

This was written by Jaren Johnston (Tim McGraw's "Southern Girl," Keith Urban's "You Gonna Fly") and Luke Laird (Carrie Underwood's "Undo It," Little Big Town's "Pontoon.") Johnston told Roughstock about the day the pair wrote this song at Laird's house. "After we hashed out the song that day, I kind of took the track home to work it up," he said. "It was kind of different from what we had first done. I just started rapping on it. I sent it to Luke, and I think his text said 'OMG, someone is going to cut that!' We were so excited."

"Luke and I write together all the time," added Johnston. "We always have a blast. We'll just find an 80s beat and just start rapping over it. It's hilarious."

Same Girl

Jennifer Lopez wrote this paean to her roots with Chris Brown. It finds the Bronx-raised singer telling us that she hasn't changed since her days in Castle Hill - she's still real and remains the same Jenny from the block.

The song was produced by Cory Rooney, who has helmed several of Lopez's hit tunes including her aforementioned "Jenny From The Block" and "Play." He worked on this track in collaboration with Bronx producers Amadeus, YaBoy Chizzy and Ryan M Tedder.

The video was shot in Lopez's old neighborhood in the Bronx on December 28, 2013 and directed by Steven Gomillion and Dennis Leupold. "I had this idea like, oh, when I do the video for ["Same Girl"], if I ever do a video for this, I'm gonna go back to my old neighborhood in the Bronx," she explained on The Tonight Show. "I'm gonna go back to Castle Hill, I'm gonna get on the train from Manhattan, I'm just gonna film the whole thing. So we did!"

"We did it very guerrilla style," Lopez added. "You know it was just me and the camera and it turned out pretty cool."

Lopez invited locals to cameo in the clip. "They all started kind of gathering around and we're like, 'Do you wanna be in the video?'" she recalled. "They're like 'Yeah!' and I was like, 'OK c'mon, sing this!'"

This was one of several songs that Lopez worked on with Chris Brown for her A.K.A. album. Asked by Pop Crush how she thought his style affected the sound of those tracks, Lopez replied: "He knew he was writing for me, but at the same time it was very organic to what he does. But when you hear the songs, I don't think you would think, like, 'Oh, he wrote 'Same Girl.' He wrote 'Emotions.'' There's very different things that he did for me on the album."

Know You Wanna Know Lyrics

Saw them holding hands, knew he was a married man,
Did she forget the ring on her own finger?
His wife has a baby on the way, friends all said he had it made,
Gave it all up for a huzzy country singer.
It's on every dot com, so it must be true.
The internet wouldn't lie to you.
So sit back and watch the winners lose

Everybody wants to know everybody's business
Everybody needs a ticket to the show
Everybody claimed to be an eyewitness
Feel bigger when they're small and act like you're above it all
You wanna know, Know You Wanna Know (know you wanna know)
Know you wanna know (know you wanna know)

Smile sweet from a magazine, perfect fit in skinny jeans,
Knows damn well the message that she's sending.
I heard her secret to a nice size four,
Is what goes on behind the bathroom door
But she don't care long as Twitter says she's trending.
But the smile's not quite so bright,
In the picture that came with the DUI.
Watchin' them fall can really get you high.

Everybody wants to know everybody's business
Everybody needs a ticket to the show
Everybody claimed to be an eyewitness
Feel bigger when they're small and act like you're above it all
You wanna know, know you wanna know (know you wanna know)
Know you wanna know (know you wanna know)

(Know you wanna know)
(Know you wanna know)

When things get tough in Tinsel Town,
There's no career that's so far down,
That a little sex tape wouldn't turn around.

Everybody wants to know everybody's business
Everybody needs a ticket to the show
Everybody claimed to be an eyewitness
Feel bigger when they're small and act like you're above it all
You wanna know, know you wanna know (know you wanna know)
Know you wanna know (know you wanna know)
Know you wanna know (know you wanna know)

Know You Wanna Know

Jennifer Nettles wrote this bar room rocker about celebrity obsession with songwriter Richard Marx , who scored 14 Top 40 Pop hits from his first four albums in the late '80s and early '90s. During an album preview, Nettles said that Marx was pleased with the way the song turned out, since no one would ever guess he wrote it.

Though better known as a Pop songwriter, Richard Marx has had some success penning tunes for Nashville artists and has achieved three Country #1 singles: Kenny Rogers' "Crazy" plus Keith Urban's "Better Life" and "Long Hot Summer."

The song is driven by Ian McLagan's piano. The English keyboardist is best known as a member of the Rock band Small Faces (who later became Faces) as well as his collaborations with The Rolling Stones.

50,000 Watts Lyrics

It’s a hard road but it fits your shoes
Son of rhythm, brother of the blues
The sound of darkness, the pull of the oak
Everything is broken and painted in smoke

But there’s a light on Sunday, a new design
The sound of the whistle, those radio wires
Love in your future, I’ll wait for you there
Put 50000 watts of a common prayer

[Chorus]
50000 watts of common prayer
50000 watts of common prayer

To be who we are and not who we were
A sister to him, a brother to her
We’ll live like kings without any sin
Redemption will come, just tune it all in

But there’s a light on Sunday, a new design
The sound of the whistle, those radio wires
Love in your future, I’ll wait for you there
Put 50000 watts of a common prayer

50000 watts of common prayer
50000 watts of common prayer

My common prayer
Your common prayer
50000 watts of common prayer

Love Is a Camera Lyrics

A winter morning black as any night
A landscape held in time under the ice
There's a house on the hill
She's living there still
Rooms are full of pictures black and white

So the story goes, she lives alone
The company is framed in monochrome
She keeps them alive
Long after they've died
No one ever knows until they're gone

Stand still evermore
Pose for eternity with me
Your soul on my wall
Love Is a Camera full of memories

I once went to her door when I was young
The spell to be her subject was too strong
Now from here behind glass
I see more fools pass
Flies caught in the secret web she's spun

Stand still evermore
Pose for eternity with me
Your soul on my wall
Love is a camera full of memories

Every photograph is a cenotaph
Won't you stay here a while
In a flash you'll see, you belong to me
All I need is a smile

Stand still evermore
Pose for eternity with me
Your soul on my wall
Love is a camera full of memories

Stand still evermore
Pose for eternity with me
Your soul on my wall
Love is a camera full of memories

Run run away, from the house on the hill
There's a witch in the house
And she's living there still

Run run away, from the house on the hill
There's a witch in the house
And she's living there still

Love Is a Camera

Ellis-Bextor told The Sunday Telegraph that this song, "is about a woman who takes your photo and traps your soul in the picture." She added, grinning: "This is what comes of reading Russian fairy tales as a kid and doing Emily Dickinson at school."

Directed by Sophie Muller, the video was shot in Florence, Italy. Taking a cue from the song lyrics, Ellis-Bextor plays a wicked seductress who traps men and women in photographs and keeps them on her wall for all eternity.

Say It Like You Mean It Lyrics

Say It Like You Mean It

While Switchfoot were tracking songs for Fading West they were also trying to develop musical beds that could be useful for the accompanying documentary of the same title, which features a behind-the-scenes look at the band, and follows its members to their surfing destinations. Frontman Jon Foreman recalled on Land Of Broken Hearts : "After tracking the drums and bass for every potential song on the record, Tim (Foreman, bass) and Chad (Butler, drums) would spend a few minutes jamming, utilizing the tones that we had developed for the previous song. A few of these drum and bass grooves were useful for the movie- but one of them quickly became more important than just background music. 'Say It Like You Mean It' was directly inspired by one of these jam sessions. It felt like a perfect accompaniment to Rob Machado's surfing in Bali - aggressive and distinctly stylish with a bit of an exotic flair."

Chad Butler recalled on a Spotify track-by-track: "We were – we were sort of – Tim and I were sort of working out the rhythm for this in the studio and just sort of jamming on that idea – that main groove. The song sort of built from the ground up."

The song's lyrical element came from Jon Foreman's own inner dialogue. He explained: "I want to be the same person on and off-stage. I am drawn towards the people I meet who do what they say and say what they do. This type of living shows a purity of thought and action that is increasingly hard to find. I look at the talking heads and the politicians and I wonder whether their words in the spotlight and their lives behind closed doors match up. Talk is cheap- Life is hard. This is an indictment for me and everyone else in the spotlight: 'You say it like you mean it, but we still don't believe it.'"

Slipping Away Lyrics

Slipping Away

Jon Foreman (from Land Of Broken Hearts ): "Of all the mysteries of life, perhaps death is the strangest reality of the human experience. The cessation of a human being on the planet is almost impossible to come to terms with. Eyes no longer filled with light. Heart no longer beating. Hands cold. Breath gone. But beneath all of this, the question remains: where did my friend go? The room is vacant, the body abandoned."

"The memories are all that are left, the ghosts of a time passed. And in many ways, these memories represent the graveside tombstones of times that will never be ours again. We lay our flowers on the gravesides, we honor what has been with our present time. We can remember what has been, but we can never have these moments again."

"Indeed, where you come from is gone. 'Slipping Away' is a song about loss, and the memories that remain."

Drummer Chad Butler recalled on a Spotify track-by-track: "I remember the first time Jon played this song for me I fell in love instantly with the lyric 'waking up at four in the morning, before the sun comes up' – just the whole nostalgia of that and the idea that live is short, and don't let it slip away."
