Bring It On Home Lyrics

Bring It On Home Song Chart

This was influenced by a song of the same name recorded by Blues great Sonny Boy Williamson and written by Willie Dixon. The Dixon composition was so similar that Led Zeppelin reached a settlement with Dixon over the royalties for the song, and credited Dixon as the writer when this appeared on Led Zeppelin's How The West Was Won live DVD.

Led Zeppelin frequently performed this live, with interplay between Jimmy Page's guitar, John Bonham's drums and John Paul Jones' bass. This can be heard on CD 3 of How The West Was Won. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)

The battle between Bonham and Page was referred to as a completely separate song entitled "Bring It On Back" when done live. (thanks, Chris - Whitesboro, NY)

The harmonica part was recorded in Vancouver. The band went on tour with the master tapes from Led Zeppelin II and now and then stopped into a studio to record parts. (thanks, Dean - Vancouver, Canada)

On Led Zeppelin's 1973 US tour, they played part of this as an intro to "Black Dog." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Hurricane Lyrics

Turn the page
Turn the corner
Open the cage
Cut the locks
We're starting over
I don't wanna live this way

We made it through hell and back again
We were slipping through the cracks, staring at the end
Oh, and we brave the weather
Hurricane couldn't take you from me
I'm holding on tight and I still believe
Oh, yeah, it just gets better

A quiet rage
A screaming silence is all around
Let me in
The world we built is crashing down

We made it through hell and back again
We were slipping through the cracks, staring at the end
Oh, and we brave the weather
Hurricane, couldn't take you from me
I'm holding on tight and I still believe
Oh, yeah, it just gets better

It just gets better
It just gets better

We made it through hell and back again
We were slipping through the cracks, staring at the end
Oh, and we brave the weather
Hurricane couldn't take you from me
I'm holding on tight and I still believe
Oh, yeah, it just gets better

It just gets better

Hurricane Song Chart

The lead single from Lifehouse's Out of the Wasteland album, this is the first radio single released by the band under the independent label Ironworks Music. It was dropped on January 27, 2015.

Lifehouse lead singer Jason Wade co-wrote the track with producer and manager Jude Cole. Wade told Billboard magazine it is reminiscent of the band's early work. "'Hurricane' started as a catchy up-tempo pop song and then transformed into this electric, energetic rock song that was very reminiscent of our first album," he said. "I feel like it is the backbone of the record, and was the catalyst that brought our band back around full circle."

The behind the bars visual features Lifehouse performing in a jail while the story is told of a woman brought into the cell next to them. "The video depicts two people working out their problems in a scene of chaos, which takes place in a prison," Wade explained. "A fitting setting since the song is about a refusal to give up on someone no matter how turbulent life can get sometimes. It was refreshing to revisit sonically somewhere that we haven't been for a while, and sometimes the best place to arrive at, is at the beginning."

Lifehouse spent most of 2013 and the beginning of 2014 on a hiatus as each band member turned attention to other projects. This song finds them coming out of their temporary break. Wade told Artist Direct : "It was a really frustrating time for the band where we weren't really touring that much. The song is about resiliency. It's not about a relationship but refusing to give up through hard times. That's the metaphor."

Heartbreaker Lyrics

Heartbreaker Song Chart

This opens Side 2 of Led Zeppelin II and goes right into "Livin' Lovin' Maid (she's just a woman)" on the album. Radio stations usually play them together, but "Maid" was never performed live by Led Zeppelin.

A crowd favorite, Led Zeppelin sometimes opened live shows with it.

At concerts, Jimmy Page would stretch out the guitar solo and incorporate bits of other songs, like "Greensleeves," "The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy)," and Bach's "Bouree in C minor."

Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones performed this at the Atlantic Records 40th anniversary concert in 1988 with Jason Bonham sitting in on drums for his late father.

Led Zeppelin opened many of their live shows in 1971 and 1972 with "Immigrant Song," followed by a segue right into this. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)

Jimmy Page's legendary guitar solo on this song inspired a young Eddie Van Halen to create his "tapping" technique after he saw Led Zeppelin perform live at the Long Beach Arena in 1972, which can be heard on the CD How The West Was Won.

Page's unaccompanied solo is pitched slightly higher than the rest of the song. The guitarist explained to Guitar World in 1998: "The interesting thing about the solo is that it was recorded after we had already finished 'Heartbreaker' – it was an afterthought. That whole section was recorded in a different studio and it was sort of slotted in the middle."

Eddie Kramer, sound engineer on Led Zeppelin II, told Guitare & Claviers in 1994 how he ended up working on the album:

"I met Page for the first time in Pye studios when I was working on sessions of The Kinks. Page had earned a certain reputation as a studio guitarist. I also worked with John Paul Jones on a few sessions, and we became friends. Jones was a brilliant musician. He wrote arrangements for chord orchestras and he could play many instruments extremely well. Before I left England to work with Jimi Hendrix at Record Plant studio in New York, in April 1968, Jonesy had invited me at his place to have me listen to a few demos of his new group, Led Zeppelin. I remember it sounded very heavy, and I was surprised that Jimmy Page played guitar because I didn't know they were friends. Jonesy was very proud of John Bonham, an ex-mason from the north of England who could hit it hard on the drums, as well as of Robert Plant, their wild singer. While I wasn't convinced by the name they had chosen, I wished them good luck. Then in '69, I was working at Electric Lady studios when I received a call from Steve Weiss, Jimi's right-hand man, saying that Led Zeppelin was in town. Page called later to tell he wanted I help him release what they had recorded and to make a few more tracks. Led Zeppelin had been a major success for Atlantic and they were urging Jimmy to finish the second album. Their schedule however wasn't very arranging. So we ended up listening, doubling, recording and mixing in many different studios around New York, including Groove Sound, a nice R&B 8-track studio. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Prisoner 1 & 2 Lyrics

Mislaid plan make a mess made
Damnation, let's play hands and spades
That's without, a boycott and a sit-out
Afro-Black pick in with a fist out
From the "welcome home" to the kick out
Reach into a rabbit, pull a trick out
Preacher preaching to a faggot with his dick out
Hard times call for [?] time
Sick, sick, sick eyes from the nose pressure
Police snip, zip ties on the protesters
Six wives in the fry of a molester
Met him at a caviar bar out in Odessa
Dirty needles breaking all the old records
A hundred hoes, one shovel and some old treasure
[?] use thief as a gold tester
Finger rolls, finger waves, closet full of old leathers
Old sweaters, old boots, that's a whole suit for some cold weather
New sale, two L's and some old letters
Now he doing double life, while she lead a double life
Man, he need another wife
New approach might help a nigga bowl better
New hoes might help a nigga hold together
Or will the new lane lead em' to the same pen
And the hunger strike in em' to the same tin

Love is looking over various errors
And hate is habitually accelerating terror
[?] I just wanna be collected when I call God damn
I don't wanna be accepted not as all as I am
Visitor, visitor, prisoner, prisoner, land

Getting slammed from the protest, no food
Force fed him like OB with a nose tube
Visions say consult the yogi with the gold shoes
With the Rollie going bowling for the old school
I need more for the Michaels
That's a loss for the class, and a score for the rifles
Three hots and a cot, and some cops
Trying to find dinosaurs in the Bible
It's all quiet in the jail-house
Then they ride in to find the empty cells out
They was looking for the swords, they was looking for the swords
I'm just looking at they feet, cause I'm looking for the lord
Looking in the library, looking at the law
10 years deep, now I'm looking at the bar
Claim sovereignty, because I'm bunkin' with the morons
They degenerate, they ain't looking at the game
They just looking at the scores, they be putting on my books
Cause I'm looking at the stars, trade a shank for some crank
Now I'm looking at a war, BGF got the yard
AV got the kitchen snitches on PC
Eminem on a mission, but CO's got the prison
God got us all, God set us free
God is the key, but the guards got the doors

Love is looking over various errors
And hate is habitually accelerating terror
[?] I just wanna be collected when I call God damn
I don't wanna be accepted not as all as I am
Visitor, visitor, prisoner, prisoner, land

Punching on the glass, stare at some killer
Might fuck him in the ass
Staff getting rigid, wasn't gonna take away the visits
Segregate niggas by theyself and make 'em stay with it
Wicked, swung the shank around on a mop string
They had to pull him out the cell with a SWAT Team
That's a cop team, they sent hella cops, to stop, the helicoptering
Man, he thought that he'd fly away, like a kite, take flight
Like a letter on a string, like propellers on a wing
But they can't find the key
They made electric chairs for his dying days
Last meals, no appeals for him to try and stay
On Death Row like Suge and the late Pac
Maybe he could dig a tunnel out of A Block
And wear gloves for the razor-wired gate top
Scared thugs going crazy in a caged box
Looking at the world through the TV
And they gone, rapping over beats from the tabletops
Ay! That's how it is in a police state
When your life is just a number and release date
When you're rehabilitated so correctly
And let's hope that's how you're living when you're set free

Love is looking over various errors
And hate is habitually accelerating terror
[?] I just wanna be collected when I call God damn
I don't wanna be accepted not as all as I am
Visitor, visitor, prisoner, prisoner, land

They sell they souls
They sell they selves
They ain't twelve, they old
Niggas old as hell
Old as jail, old as cells
Sold so much salt, ain't no more salt on the shelves
You a prisoner too, you living here too
You just like us, til' your shift get through
You could look like us, you know shit get through
You should be in cuffs like us, you should get strike 2
You should get like life, you should get like woo!
You should get that twice! You should get refused
The open road, that's no parole, and no control
Over your own soul, so control, your own remote control, that your folks can hold

You better watch these niggas (en garde)
If it was up to me, I would never unlock these niggas
Wouldn't rehabilitate, man, I would just box these niggas and throw away the key
I'd throw away the key like the coast guard watching me
(I'd throw away the keys)
You better watch these niggas (en garde)
If it was up to me, I would never unlock these niggas
Wouldn't rehabilitate, man, I would just box these niggas and throw away the key
I'd throw away the key like the coast guard watching me
(I'd throw away the keys)

Better watch these niggas (en garde)

5th year with the DOC
You can see what's CO see
Robocop opt his COP
3 hots and a C-O-T
Lived in a small town, his whole life
Never left like [?]
Either working at the prison, or it's no lights
In the system working with the pol-ice
In the prison stripping niggas for rights
Got a malice, on the other side of the bars
Watching niggas get smart, watching niggas get strong
Watching niggas get home, he jealous
But deep down he jealous
With each sweep down, he tell us
With each peep down, he help us
Wrong one gon' knock his ass out though
It's why he gotta lock all the niggas out for
Warden told the boy he better calm down
Step back from the brink and put the bomb down
But how the whole world in your palm sound?
It's why they treat niggas like shit
Writing raps to the taps, keep the face [?] on your knees cause these niggas might snap![?]

You better watch these niggas (en garde)
If it was up to me, I would never unlock these niggas
Wouldn't rehabilitate, man, I would just box these niggas and throw away the key
I'd throw away the key like the coast guard watching me

Prisoner 1 & 2 Song Chart

An amalgamation of two songs with two different hooks, this eight-and-a-half minute track touches on unjust incarceration and the racist tendencies of prison officials. The two halves are split by a spoken word piece from Lupe's sister Ayesha Jaco, who is a Youth Empowerment Expert and Professor. She has done the intro on many of her brother's albums.

The prisoner in the first half of the song also represents the criminal who asked Jesus to bring him to heaven (Luke 23:39-43).

Moby Dick Lyrics

Moby Dick Song Chart

This was Zeppelin drummer John Bonham's showcase song on early tours. His solo would last up to 20 minutes, while the rest of the band would leave the stage and grab a smoke. Bonham sometimes drew blood performing this from beating his hands on his snare and tom toms.

This is an instrumental song. According to Bonham's wife Pat, the song is named Moby Dick because his son asked him to play "The long song." When John asked why, the boy answered, "It's big like Moby." (thanks, Jay the jet - St Paul, MN)

This evolved out of a drum solo Bonham would play called "Pat's Delight," which was named after his wife. Jimmy Page would often catch Bonham jamming in the studio, and recorded parts of it, then pieced it all together.

Jimmy Page remixed this to flow seamlessly into "Bonzo's Montreux" on the Led Zeppelin boxed set.

The name of Bonham's drum solo was later changed to "Over The Top" for the 1977 US tour. It used the "Out On The Tiles" riff as an intro instead. (thanks, Chris - Whitesboro, NY)

Page added a guitar riff to the mix, which came from "The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair," a song Led Zeppelin recorded live for the BBC in the Spring of 1969. It appears on the BBC Sessions album. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Led Zeppelin often borrowed from American Blues recordings, and the guitar riff in this song bears a strong resemblance to the 1961 Bobby Parker song "Watch Your Step." Led Zeppelin has faced criticism for using parts of obscure folk and blues songs and passing them off as their own, but it should be noted that riffs cannot be copyrighted, and many famous musicians have borrowed in a similar fashion. A notable example is The Beatles "I Feel Fine," which was also influenced by Parker's "Watch Your Step."

An anti-littering campaign in the United States used this for its theme music in the mid '70s. (thanks, Ken - Ann Arbor, MI)

Babies Makin' Babies Lyrics

Two kids from Tacoma
In a '72 Nova,
No pill and barely old enough to drink,
Learned the ropes and tested science,
Started pentecostal riots,
In just five minutes behind the rolling rink,
In the backseat brings

The American dream on a shoestring,
First you grow it, then you show it,
Give a good push just like a Brady,
Say you'll love 'em 'till your eighty,
Too soon to be a mother and father,
But too late for the alma mater,
Yeah it's always in the water
Babies Makin' Babies

Between diplomas and the diapers,
They become couch quarter finders,
Savin' up for a Maytag microwave,
Oh but all has been forgiven,
On the day the water christen,
The best thing that could have happened by mistake,

The American dream on a shoestring,
First you grow it then you show it,
Give a good push just like a Brady,
Say you'll love 'em 'till your eighty,
Too soon to be a mother and father,
But too late for the alma mater,
Yeah it's always in the water
Babies makin' babies

Well it's a tried and true equation,
Maintains a small town population,
That turns us all into a family,

The American dream on a shoestring,
First you grow it then you show it,
Give a good push just like a Brady,
Say you'll love 'em 'till you're eighty,
Too soon to be a mother and father,
But too late for the alma mater,
Yeah its always in the water,
Babies makin' babies

Yes it's always in the water,
Babies makin babies

This was written by Nicolle Galyon, Natalie Hemby, and Jimmy Robbins, the same trio that penned the Platinum tracks "Priscilla" and "Girls."

The song finds Lambert singing about young small-town couples who end up pregnant. "It's not something that people want to necessarily talk about," she told Billboard magazine. "But everybody should, because it's happening everywhere."

Thank You Lyrics

Thank You Song Chart

Robert Plant dedicated this to his wife, Maureen. It was the first Zeppelin song that Plant wrote all the lyrics for - something he did at the urging of Jimmy Page.

Jimmy Page sang background on this. You can hear him sing with Plant during the line, "Little drops of rain" until the part where Plant goes "My, my, my." (thanks, Lucy - Claremont, United States)

Page played an acoustic guitar solo on this, something he rarely did.

This became a showcase for John Paul Jones' keyboard work during live shows.

This ends with a church organ that fades to silence and comes back about 10 seconds later. This creates a problem for radio stations, who must decide between accepting the "dead air" or cutting it off. Some stations run edited versions, with the silence eliminated.

In 2001, Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit and Was Scantlin from Puddle Of Mudd performed this at the MTV Europe Music Awards.

Some radio stations play this together with "The Lemon Song" because there's no pause between them on the album. (thanks, Adrian - Wilmington, DE)

Tori Amos covered this song in her piano and singing style. It is on the extended "Crucify" single along with her versions of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Angie." Led Zeppelin was a big influence for her. (thanks, sara - pittsburgh, PA)

Jimmy Page and Robert Plant used a mellower version of this as either an opening number or encore for most of their shows from 1995 through 1998. (thanks, Chris - Whitesboro, NY)

The lyrics, "If the sun refuse to shine" and "When mountains crumble to the sea" came from a Jimi Hendrix song called "If 6 Was 9."

When Led Zeppelin played this live, John Paul Jones would improvise an extended organ intro. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 2)

I'm too young to think about forever
I'm just thinkin' 'bout this Friday night
I love not knowin' where we're going
And dancin' with the boy I kinda like

I want to make all my mistakes
While I'm young enough to make
Them once or twice
Or maybe three times

'Cause I ain't looking for my
Prince Charming on a horse,
No once upon a time ain't
Where I'm at
Yeah I don't need a Mr, tryin'
To fit that perfect slipper
On my foot there's always time for that

So I'm gonna spend all summer long
Sittin' on this river log,
'Cause right now there ain't nothing
Wrong with having fun and
Kissin' Frogs

Right now the only thing that matters
Is the radio and cherry lip gloss on
I'm happy without happy ever after
Yeah, a little makin' out don't hurt
No one

I wanna have a little fun
Someday I'm gonna find the one that's right
But not tonight

'Cause I ain't looking for my
Prince Charming on a horse,
No once upon a time ain't
Where I'm at
Yeah I don't need a Mr, tryin'
To fit that perfect slipper
On my foot there's always time for that

So I'm gonna spend all summer long
Sittin' on this river log,
'Cause right now there ain't nothing
Wrong with having fun and
Kissin' frogs

Yeah, kissin' frogs

I want to make all my mistakes
While I'm young enough to make
Them once or twice
Or maybe three times

'Cause I ain't looking for my
Prince Charming on a horse,
No once upon a time ain't
Where I'm at
Yeah I don't need a Mr, tryin'
To fit that perfect slipper
On my foot there's always time for that

So I'm gonna spend all summer long

Kissin' Frogs Song Chart

The origins of this track lie in a conversation RaeLynn had with her mother. "I get a lot of my song inspirations from talking to her," she told Billboard magazine. "I was talking about not having a boyfriend that day - my boyfriend and I had broken up a couple of months before. I said, 'Mom, I don't understand why no boys like me. I'm blonde, I think I'm funny, and I can sing a country song. What more do they need?' She said, 'Honey, you don't need a boyfriend. You're just having fun kissing frogs.' I thought 'I've got to write a song called that.'"

The song alludes to the fairy tale The Frog Prince, in which a princess reluctantly befriends a frog. He is magically transformed into a handsome prince after the princess kisses him. Keane's 2006 track "The Frog Prince" alludes to the same story.

Whole Lotta Love Song Chart

This was Led Zeppelin's first US single, and their only US Top 10 hit. Some of their most popular songs, like "Stairway To Heaven," were not released as singles.

Atlantic Records pressed copies of the single to release in England, but Peter Grant, their manager, wouldn't let them. He felt releasing singles in England would hurt album sales, and the band thought that one song was not a good representation of any group. In the US, it was acceptable because more people bought singles.

Blues great Willie Dixon sued the band, claiming they stole this from his song "You Need Love." The band reached an agreement with Dixon, who used the settlement money to set up a program providing instruments for schools.

The freeform section was the result of Page and engineer Eddie Kramer "twiddling every knob known to man."

This might be the first use of "backward echo." Page put the echo of Plant's lines before he says them, creating an interesting sound.

Robert Plant did the vocal in one take.

Led Zeppelin used this as the basis for a medley they performed in their later shows. They had lots of songs by then, so they used the medley to play snippets of their popular songs they did not want to play all the way through. They incorporated various Blues songs in these medleys as well, notably "Boogie Chillen" by John Lee Hooker, which was often followed by what they called "Boogie Woogie, by Unknown," and "Let's Have A Party" by Wanda Jackson. They would put this in when Robert Plant would yell, "Way Down INSIDE." (thanks, Thomas - Toronto, Canada)

This was used as the theme song to the BBC music show Top of the Pops. The band never appeared on the program, as they had no interest in lip-synching and weren't a good fit for the TOTP audience.

Some parts of the song as well as some lyrics were borrowed form a song called "You Need Loving" by the Small Faces. Small Faces was a '60 band that Zeppelin modeled themselves after. (thanks, Andy - Cleveland, OH)

The remaining members of Led Zeppelin played this at their Live Aid reunion in 1985. Along with Tony Thompson, Phil Collins sat in on drums. Collins was the biggest presence at Live Aid. He played a set in London, flew to Philadelphia, played another set, then stayed on when Zeppelin took the stage. Jimmy Page was not happy - he thought Collins butchered this.

On some live versions, Jimmy Page played the theremin, a bizarre electronic instrument he liked to experiment with consisting of a black box and antennae. The sound is altered by moving one's hand closer to or farther from the antennae and was used to create the fuzz that alternates back and forth through the speakers. It can be heard to great effect on their Royal Albert Hall footage. Page decided to try theremin after hearing the group Spirit use one. (thanks, Collin - Midland, TX)

Page, Plant, and John Paul Jones played this at the Atlantic Records 40th anniversary concert in 1988 with Jason Bonham sitting in on drums for his late father. Jason would join the band again in 2007 at a benefit concert for the Ahmet Ertegun education fund, where they played this as the first encore.

In 1997, this became the only single Led Zeppelin released in the UK, although there were several pressings made of "Trampled Underfoot" that were all shelved before being released, and are, today, viewed as highly collectable. (thanks, Jon - Wayne, PA)

Robert Plant played this on the Strange Sensations tour of the UK in 2005. (thanks, iain - Edinburgh, Scotland)

Jimmy Page played the loose blues riff for the intro on a Sunburst 1958 Les Paul Standard through a 100W Marshall "Plexi" head amp with distortion from the EL34 output valves.

Jack Johnson performed a very laid-back version of this song when he headlined the first night of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2008.

Alexis Korner hit #13 UK with his cover of this song in 1970 with his studio group CCS. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 2)

This song was performed by Leona Lewis and Jimmy Page at the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics during the hand over to the host of the 2012 games, London. Prior to the performance there was some concern about the track's somewhat family unfriendly lyrical content, but Lewis tactfully changed the words from "every inch of my love" to "every bit of my love."
They appeared alongside English soccer star David Beckham as symbols of British entertainment, both old and new. The performance took place in a magnificent, elaborate setting: Beijing's "Bird's Nest" Olympic Stadium. Lewis and Page appeared out of what had been a London double-decker bus, later transformed into a garden of green hedges. (thanks, Arthur - North East, Poland)

John Paul Jones told Uncut magazine January 2009 that Page began to come into his own as a producer around the time of this song. Said Jones: "The backwards echo stuff. A lot of the microphone techniques were just inspired. Using distance-miking… and small amplifiers. Everybody thinks we go in the studio with huge walls of amplifiers, but he doesn't. He uses a really small amplifier and he just mikes it up really well, so that it fits into a sonic picture."

On May 5, 2009, this became the first Led Zeppelin song performed on American Idol when Adam Lambert sang it during Rock Week, with Slash as the guest mentor. The judges loved Lambert's version and he advanced to the next round.

In 2010, Mary J. Blige covered "Whole Lotta Love" and "Stairway To Heaven," which were released as downloads and appeared on the UK version of her Stronger With Each Tear album. Musicians contributing to these tracks include Steve Vai , Orianthi, blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and Randy Jackson of American Idol fame, who played bass. "Whole Lotta Love" was produced by RedOne and Ron Fair, who is Chairman of Geffen Records. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

The song's guitar riff was voted the greatest of all time by listeners of BBC Radio 2 in a 2014 poll. "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses came second in the listing and "Back In Black" by AC/DC third.

Guitar World noted Page's use of the wah-wah pedal during his famous solo, securing its place at #17 on the magazine's 2015 list of greatest wah solos of all time.

FourFiveSeconds Lyrics

FourFiveSeconds Song Chart

This stripped-down ballad about heartbreak was posted on Rihanna's official website on January 24, 2015 and released on iTunes later the same day. It was the first song to be dropped by Rihanna's own music imprint, Westbury Road Entertainment, which is distributed by Roc Nation.

Rihanna sings here of partying all night while her lover awaits her return home.

And I know you are home tonight
Thinking how I can be so selfish
But you call about a 1,000 times wondering where I've been
But I can't just apologize
I hope you understand

Kanye West is her upset love interest. He croons in response:

Woke up an optimist
Sun was shining, I'm positive
Then I heard you was talkin' trash
Hold me back, I'm 'bout to spaz

Kanye West and Rihanna have teamed up sporadically over the years, scoring hits with "Run This Town" and "All of the Lights."

The pair are assisted by Paul McCartney who supplies a lilting acoustic guitar figure. The former Beatle previously teamed up with Kanye West when he played keys on his "Only One" track.

Kanye West and Paul McCartney wrote the song with rapper Ty Dolla $ign, frontman of the Dirty Projectors Dave Longstreth, Kirby Lauryen, Elon Rutberg, Noah Goldstein, and producers Dallas Austin and Mike Dean.

The primary instruments on this track are organ and acoustic guitar, providing a mix of acoustic and electric sounds.

The black-and-white, stripped-down video was directed by Inez & Vinoodh and shot during late December 2014 in New York City. The Dutch fashion photographer duo have worked with Lady Gaga on more than one occasion, most notably when they filmed her "Applause" visual.

The clip features shots of the denim-clad Rihanna, West and McCartney performing against an all-white background. "Kanye came up with the idea of doing just some real street, denim, all-American-type look," Rihanna said. "Denim never goes out of style; it's classic, it's iconic, just like the f---ing Beatles."

Rihanna performed this song with Paul McCartney and Kanye West at the Grammy Awards in 2015.

The song is officially credited to Rihanna, Kanye West and Paul McCartney. When it entered the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, McCartney broke the record for the longest gap between Top 10 Hot 100 hits of any artist (credited as a lead). His previous entry in the chart's top tier was on February 8, 1986, when the title song to the comedy Spies Like Us peaked at #7 - 29 years, and 2 weeks previously.

The record was previously held by Santana, who notched a 28 years, 7 months and 2 week gap between their "Black Magic Woman" and "Smooth" Top Ten singles.

Kanye West enlisted Wilson Phillips to provide backing vocals for the track. The group, which consists of sisters Carnie and Wendy Wilson with Chynna Phillips, rose to prominence in the early '90s charting with three Hot 100 #1 hits, "Hold On," "Release Me" and "You're In Love." "He said, 'When I think of authenticity and I think of angelic, I think of you,'" Carnie Wilson told Billboard magazine.

After playing a preview of the song to Wilson Phillips, together with "Only One" and Madonna's "Illuminati," West instructed the trio to take the track home to work on their vocal harmonies. "We didn't know if we were singing on a section of the song - originally it was supposed to be just the bridge," Carnie said. "He gave us sole freedom to just do what we do. We just went in there and let loose."

I Can't Quit You Baby Lyrics

I Can't Quit You Baby
So I'm gonna put you down for awhile.
I said I can't quit you baby
I guess I gotta put you down for awhile.
Said you messed up my happy home
Made me mistreat my only child.
Yessir you did!

Said you know I love you baby
My love for you I could never hide.
Oh you know I love you baby
My love for you I could never hide.
Oh when I feel you near me little girl
I know you are my one desire.

When you hear me moaning and groaning, baby,
You know it hurts me deep down inside.
When you hear me moaning and groaning, baby,
You know it hurts me deep down inside.
Oh, when you hear me, honey, baby,
You know you're my one desire.
Yes, you are.

I Can't Quit You Baby Song Chart

Many musician types consider this one of Led Zeppelin's technically strongest performances, but Jimmy Page admits that it's far from perfect. He told Guitar Player magazine in 1977: "There are mistakes in it, but it doesn't make any difference. I'll always leave the mistakes in. I can't help it. The timing bits on the A and Bb parts are right, though it might sound wrong. The timing just sounds off. But there are some wrong notes. You've got to be reasonably honest about it."

This is based on a Blues song by Willie Dixon that he wrote for Otis Rush, who recorded it in 1956. Many of Led Zeppelin's songs were influenced by old blues or folk songs. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

The version on Coda is a soundcheck for a show at Royal Albert Hall on January 9, 1970. Coda is a collection of outtakes released after John Bonham died.

Some guitar parts are very similar to the guitar solo in "Heartbreaker." (thanks, Jack - Beijing, China)

Streetcar Lyrics

(Hello)
When eyes are red
We can't talk for a while
Without our sweet dumb things we say
you don't want me anyway
You don't want me anyway
so what
Why should i stay?

So goodbye to you and your life
Your new best friends
your confidence
And i'll be here when you get home

Sitting half way
Away from no where
praying for lips to touch
Holding myself
For a second
Just to catch you smile
On this side

So goodbye to you and your lies
(Two months, so many weeks)
Your new best friends
Your confidence
(turn my hours into days)
And i'll be here when you get home
(when you get home)

So goodbye to yuo and your lies
(two months so many weeks)
Your new best friends
Your confidence
(turn my hours into days)
And i'll be here when you get home
(When you get home)

(I can't feel the same without you any more)

It's just like you said
It would be
(separation)

I can't feel the same
I can't feel this way
I can't feel the same without you anymore

(separation) Without you anymore
(separation) Without you anymore

Streetcar Song Chart

This was the first single released from the band's second album. It ended up being the bands fourth consecutive Top 20 single in the UK by debuting at number #15.

Frontman Matthew Davies writes about a long distance relationship that he wants to continue, but ends when they realize it was too hard to keep alive.

Devoted fans of Funeral For A Friend used the dial tones at the beginning of the song to figure out the number being called, which happened to be Davies' actual phone number, allowing fans to ring him at his home. Of course, he changed his number immediately. (thanks, Ben - Adelaide, SA, Australia, for above 3)
