Behind Closed Doors Lyrics


Behind Closed Doors, there's never any light
Behind closed doors, there's never any light

Mix a little bit of love and violence
Mix a little bit of truth and lies
I see you, I feel you
Push and pulling me for my alliance
But nothing's ever gonna make things right
I feel you, I see you

The doors close so no one outside hears
But I know the sound of your worst fear
It's cutting through me, it's suffocating me
Behind closed doors, there's a lifetime to forget

Mix a little bit of our denial
Mix a little bit of black and white
I feel you, I need you
Growing up I learned from your defiance
But nothing's ever gonna make things right
I need you, I feel you

The doors close so no one outside hears
But I know the sound of your worst fear
It's cutting through me, it's suffocating me
Behind closed doors, there's a lifetime to forget

Behind closed doors, there's never any light
Behind closed doors, there's never any light

Mix a little bit of love and violence
Mix a little bit of truth and lies
I see you, I feel you
Push and pulling me for my alliance
But nothing's ever gonna make things right
I feel you, I see you

The doors close so no one outside hears
But I know the sound of your worst fear
It's cutting through me, it's suffocating me
Behind closed doors, there's a lifetime to forget

Behind Closed Doors Song Chart
  • This song deals with the suffering that presents itself when no one else is looking. Singer Leigh Kakaty told The Birmingham News: "Behind closed doors is where a lot of people's pain starts from. If you can give people a song they can relate to, maybe they can change their life and make it happier by moving forward."
  • The video is the third in a trilogy, all directed by Johan Carlen. The clip is actually the first portion of a story that has been told in reverse, starting with "Trenches" and "Deal With The Devil."

    The trilogy follows a woman who battles her demons. In the "Behind Closed Doors" clip, we see her cutting herself and destroying her surroundings as she lashes out.

    (Everything I Do) I Do It For You Lyrics


    (Everything I Do) I Do It For You Song Chart
  • This song is featured in the Kevin Costner movie Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves, where it plays over the credits. It was written to order for the movie, initially by American film composer Michael Kamen, with the middle eight, break, outro and arrangement added by Adams and producer Mutt Lange. Adams used a line in the movie, "I do it for you..." as the basis for the song, and they had it written in about an hour.
  • Adams has said that initially, this song didn't meet with Hollywood approval, as the film company wanted the song to have instrumentation in line with the films' era - lutes, mandolins, and the like. The film company relented, but still buried the song midway through the credits, apparently unaware of the huge hit they had on their hands.
  • This is one of the most successful singles of all time, selling over 3 million copies. It was #1 for 16 weeks in the UK (from 13th July to 26th October 1991) and 7 weeks in the US. (thanks, Matthew - Shrewsbury, England)
  • A longer version of this song was used as the B-side to Adam's next single, "Can't Stop This Thing We Started."
  • This brought Adams a huge Adult Contemporary audience, but alienated many fans of his rock music. He continued to record dramatic ballads for romantic movies: In 1993, he sang "All For Love" with Rod Stewart and Sting for The 3 Musketeers, and in 1995 he recorded "Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman?" for Don Juan DeMarco.
  • This went to #1 in 30 countries. It also won a Grammy for Best Song Written Specifically For A Motion Picture Or For Television in 1992.
  • Some of the hits Mutt Lange produced before lending his talents to this track include "Back In Black" for AC/DC and "Photograph" by Def Leppard. Bryan Adams told us about working with Lange: "Mutt is great to work with because he is committed to making sure the songs have the best of everything before they go out into the world. We've had three number one records together and many good times, a true friend." (Check out our interview with Bryan Adams.)
  • Brandy covered this on her 1998 album Never Say Never. (thanks, Daisy - Ikast, Denmark)
  • Michael Kamen had originally wanted the song to be as if it were Maid Marian singing to Robin Hood. However, this initial version was deemed so bland that Kate Bush, Annie Lennox and Lisa Stansfield all turned it down.

    Signs
    The 5 Man Electrical Band
    lyrics as recorded by The Five Man Electrical Band in 1971 and included on
    the 1990 compilation album "Made In Canada - Volume Three 1965-1974"
    (BMG KCD1-7158)

    And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
    So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
    He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
    So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!"
    Whoa-oh-oh

    Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
    Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
    Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

    And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot on sight
    So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house, "Hey! What gives you
    the
    right?"
    "To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in"
    "If God was here he'd tell you to your face, Man, you're some kinda sinner"

    Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
    Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
    Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

    Now, hey you, mister, can't you read?
    You've got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
    You can't even watch, no you can't eat
    You ain't supposed to be here
    The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside
    Ugh!

    ------ lead guitar ------

    And the sign said, "Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray"
    But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn't have a
    penny to pay
    So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
    I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me. I'm alive and doin' fine."
    Wooo!

    Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
    Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
    Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?

    Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
    Sign
    Sign, sign

    Signs Song Chart
  • Written by Five Man Electrical Band lead singer Les Emmerson, this song is a prescient look at class divisions and property rights. Emmerson wrote the song after taking a road trip on Route 66 in California, where he noticed a plethora of billboards that obscured the beautiful scenery. This posed a question: Who is allowed to put up signs that interfere with nature? This led to another query: Who gets to make the rules that appear on so many signs?

    The song gave voice to those without power or property rights, which in many cases were young people.
  • Five Man Electrical Band are a Canadian group, Formed in the '60s as The Staccatos. "Signs" was included on their second album in 1970, but not considered single-worthy by their record label, as it didn't fit a standard pop format.

    In 1970, it was issued as the B-side to the single "Hello Melinda Goodbye," which made #55 on the Canadian chart. Disk jockeys preferred the flip side, however, and started playing "Signs," which was then released as an A-side in 1971. It made #4 in Canada but took off in America, reaching #3 in August. The follow-up, "Absolutely Right," also did well in America, reaching #26.
  • This song starts with a line that became one of the most memorable in rock: "And the sign said, 'Long-haired freaky people need not apply.'"

    By starting with the word "And," we feel that we are picking up a story, and it's clear that the singer has put a lot of thought into this. The first verse is a classic tale of how looks can be deceiving, as the difference between an "upstanding man" and a hippie can be something as superficial as hair.

    The next verse finds the singer looking at a "no trespassing" sign and questioning its authority. This resonates with anyone who has seen beautiful beaches, vistas, and other points of nature marked as private property, often with nobody there to enjoy it.

    We then enter a private club with a strict dress code, and we hear the line most willful wanderers have been confronted with: "You ain't supposed to be here."

    Finally, we end up in church, which brings God into our story. If ever there is something that is open to all, it it God, but even in church, a donation is called for. At this point, our hero turns the tables and makes his own sign, thanking God for the wonder of life.
  • Tesla revived this song in 1990 when they recorded a live, acoustic version for their album Five Man Acoustical Jam, which was recorded at the Trocadero Theatre in Philadelphia on July 2, 1990.

    The band was on tour with Mötley Crüe, opening for the rockers on the Dr. Feelgood tour. July 2 was an off-day, so Tesla booked the acoustic show and had each band member pick a cover song to perform. Lead singer Jeff Keith picked "Signs," a song he grew up listening to in Oklahoma. His bandmates, however, didn't know the song, so Jeff had to round up a copy so they could learn it.

    The song was the highlight of the performance, and the set was so well-received that it was released as an album, which they titled Five Man Acoustical Jam as an allusion to the original artist. Released as a single ahead of the album, the song made #2 on the Mainstream Rock chart, but didn't crack the Hot 100. When the album started selling and MTV began the video, the song was re-released, making #8 on the Hot 100 in April 1991.
  • Tesla's version was one of the first acoustic hit songs of the '90s and helped launch the "Unplugged" trend. MTV ramped up their series of Unplugged concerts shortly after Tesla's cover became a hit.
  • The line, "If God was here he'd tell you to your face, Man, you're some kinda sinner" has a double-meaning, as "Man" could be just a throwaway expression, but could also be about man as a species.
  • In Tesla's unedited version they replace the phrase "Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind" with "F--kin' up the scenery, breakin' my mind."

    The Dealer Lyrics


    It was my fault, my move, my game
    If I’d known a little more, I’d a run away
    It was dark out and I held the cards
    I was The Dealer and it wasn’t hard

    I was the mistress of my fate
    I was a card shark
    If I’d a looked a little ahead
    I’d a run away
    I was the mistress of my fate
    I gave it all out
    If I’d really known you then
    You’d a had to watch out

    It was my fault, my move, and my wine
    I see the sun now
    And it still shines
    But it was dark out
    And I held the cards

    Ooh, I was the dealer
    And it wasn’t hard
    I was the mistress of my fate
    I was the card shark
    If I’d a looked a little ahead
    I’d a run away

    I was the mistress of my fate
    I gave it all out
    If I’d really known you then
    You’d a had to watch out

    I’ll be the dancer
    You be the player
    I’ll just almost hold you
    You just almost stay here
    I’ll be the passion
    You be the play
    I’ll just almost hold you
    You just almost stay here
    I’ll just almost hold you
    You just almost stay here

    I was the mistress of my fate
    I was the card shark
    If I’d a looked a little ahead
    I’d a run away
    I was the mistress of my fate
    I gave it all out
    If I’d really known you then
    You’d a had to watch out

    I Want A New Drug - one that won't make me sick
    One that won't make me crash my car
    Or make me feel feet, feet, feet thick
    I want a new drug - one that won't hurt my head

    One that won't make me nervous
    Wonderin' what to do
    One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
    When I'm alone with you

    I want a new drug, one that won't spill
    One that don't cost too much
    Or come in a pill
    I want a new drug, one that won't go away
    One that won't keep me up all night
    One that won't make me sleep all day

    One that makes me feel like I feel when I'm with you
    I'm alone with you, baby

    I want a new drug, one that does what it should
    One that won't make me feel too bad
    One that won't make me feel too good
    I want a new drug, one with no doubt
    One that won't make me talk to much
    Or make my face breakout

    One that won't make me nervous

    I Want A New Drug Song Chart
  • The "drug" that Lewis sings about is women. They don't have the side effects most drugs do - dry mouth, red eyes, make your face break out, etc.
  • Lewis sued Ray Parker Jr. for stealing the melody from this song on his hit "Ghostbusters." They settled out of court, but Parker sued Lewis in 2001 after Lewis revealed in a VH1 Behind The Music special that Parker paid him as part of the agreement.
  • This song was one of four US Top 40 hits from the album. The others were "Heart And Soul," "If This Is It," and "Walking On A Thin Line." The hits were released over the course of a year in 1983 and 1984, and led to his biggest hit, "Power Of Love," in 1985.
  • The movie Back To The Future went into production with this as a temporary track until a more suitable song was written, which turned out to be "The Power of Love."

    "I Want A New Drug" did make the movie - it is in a scene where Marty McFly listens to it as his alarm clock goes off.
  • Weird Al Yankovic did a parody of this song titled "I Want A New Duck." When Al appeared in a parody of American Psycho , he is killed by Huey Lewis, who exclaims: "try parodying one of my songs now, you stupid bastard." (thanks, Matthew - Milford, MA)

    Come lately, I just keep waiting
    I see nothing out there
    The sun keeps throwin' out the light from the clouds
    But there's no light in here
    I know that things have got to change
    But how to change them isn't clear
    I'm tired of knockin' on doors
    When there's nobody there
    You know I'm tired of knockin' on doors
    When there's nobody there

    And the time keeps going on by
    And I wonder what is to become of me
    And I'm unsure, I can't see my way
    And he says, "Lady, you don't have to see"

    And the time keeps going on by

    And I'm unsure, I can't see my way
    And he says, "Lady, you don't need to see"

    The moon begins to rise upon my fallen eyes
    I'm taken back to firelight
    A drunken dreamer's plan to stay just as I am
    Amidst the dancing paradise
    A case of beer, a smile, a motorcycle child
    I feel the glow surround me
    And you, and you, and you, and you, and you

    Orange funnels and snowy tunnels
    Summer troubles and books in bundles
    Orange funnels and snowy tunnels
    And you, and you, and you, and you, and you

    A Horse With No Name Song Chart
  • America was formed in England by sons of US servicemen who were stationed there. Lead singer Dewey Bunnell wrote this when he was 19. Although the song is commonly misinterpreted about being on drugs, it is not: Bunnell based the images in the lyrics on things he saw while visiting the US.
  • This was originally titled "Desert Song," since Bunnell wrote it based on the desert scenery he encountered when his dad was stationed at an Air Force base in Santa Barbara County, California.
  • The song tells a rather abstruse tale about a trip though the desert. While the landscape is unforgiving, the singer also finds comfort in that scenario.

    According to Dewey Bunnell, the "horse" represents a means of entering a place of tranquility, and this tranquil place was best represented by the desert, which sounded pretty good to him while he was stuck in rainy England.

    As for why the horse had no name and why it went free after nine days, Bunnell doesn't have any answers - it seems the various listener interpretations are far more colorful than any meaning he assigned to it.
  • The group's self-titled debut album was released in the UK in late 1971, but didn't contain this song. When they were contemplating a single, they considered "I Need You," but decided to come up with a new song instead. The group went back to the studio and recorded "A Horse With No Name," which Bunnell had written.

    Released as a single in the UK, it shot to #3 in January 1972, prompting the group's label, Warner Bros., to issue the single in the US and also release the album with the song included. On March 25, both the single and album hit #1 in the US; the song stayed at the top spot for three weeks, the album for five.

    The album was recorded in London where the band was located. In February, when the song started climbing the charts in the US, the group embarked on a tour of the States, playing club shows before supporting the Everly Brothers as the opening act on their North American tour.

    "I Need You" was released as the follow-up single, reaching #9 US. The group would become one of the most successful acts of the '70s and score another US #1 hit with "Sister Golden Hair."
  • Many people thought this was a Neil Young song when they heard it, and many rock critics pointed out the similarities. In a strange twist, "A Horse With No Name" replaced Young's "Heart of Gold" at #1 in the US.

    Dewey Bunnell explained that he was well aware that he sounded like Neil Young on this song, but claimed he wasn't trying to imitate the singer. He told Rolling Stone in 1973: "I try to use a different voice so that I won't be branded as a rip-off. It's such a drag, though, to have to not sound like someone when you can't help it in the first place."
  • "Horse" is slang for heroin, leading to myriad rumors (denied by the band) that the song was about drugs.
  • Dewey Bunnell played 6-string acoustic guitar on this track; his bandmate Gerry Beckley played 12-string acoustic, and the third member of the group, Dan Peek, played bass. Session musicians rounded out the instrumentation: Kim Haworth on drums and Ray Cooper on percussion.
  • This appears on a fifth-season episode of Friends called "The One With Joey's Big Break." In it, Joey and Chandler go on a road trip to Las Vegas (hence, "through the desert").

    Other TV series to use the song are:
    Parks and Recreation
    The Simpsons
    Six Feet Under

    Movies include:
    Air America (1990)
    Hideous Kinky (1998)
    The Trip (2002)
    American Hustle (2013)

    (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada)
  • A 2010 episode of the TV series Breaking Bad is titled "Caballo sin Nombre," Spanish for "Horse With No Name." At the beginning of this episode, the main character Walter White sings along to the song on his car radio, and then at the end he sings it again.
  • The San Francisco band The Loud Family named their first album Plants and Birds and Rocks and Things after a line in this song.

    Out Of The Woods Lyrics


    Looking at it now, it all seems so simple
    We were lying on your couch, I remember
    You took a Polaroid of us
    Then discovered (then discovered)
    The rest of the world was black and white
    But we were in screaming color
    And I remember thinking

    Are we Out Of The Woods yet?
    Are we out of the woods yet?
    Are we out of the woods yet?
    Are we out of the woods?
    Are we in the clear yet?
    Are we in the clear yet?
    Are we in the clear yet?
    In the clear yet, good.
    Are we out of the woods yet?
    Are we out of the woods yet?
    Are we out of the woods yet?
    Are we out of the woods?
    Are we in the clear yet?
    Are we in the clear yet?
    Are we in the clear yet?
    In the clear yet, good.
    Are we out of the woods?

    Looking at it now, last December
    We were built to fall apart, then fall back together
    Your necklace hanging from my neck,
    The night we couldn't quite forget
    When we decided (We decided)
    To move the furniture so we could dance
    Baby, like we stood a chance
    Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying
    And I remember thinking

    Are we out of the woods yet?
    Are we out of the woods yet?
    Are we out of the woods yet?
    Are we out of the woods?
    Are we in the clear yet?
    Are we in the clear yet?
    Are we in the clear yet?
    In the clear yet, good
    Are we out of the woods yet?
    Are we out of the woods yet?
    Are we out of the woods yet?
    Are we out of the woods?
    Are we in the clear yet?
    Are we in the clear yet?
    Are we in the clear yet?
    In the clear yet, good

    Are we out of the woods?

    Remember when you hit the brakes too soon
    Twenty stitches in a hospital room
    When you started crying
    Baby, I did too
    But when the sun came up
    I was looking at you
    Remember when we couldn't take the heat
    I walked out, I said, I'm setting you free
    But the monsters turned out to be just trees
    When the sun came up
    You were looking at me

    You were looking at me
    Oh!
    You were looking at me.
    Are we out of the woods yet?
    Are we out of the woods yet?
    Are we out of the woods yet?
    Are we out of the woods? (I remember)
    Are we in the clear yet?

    Out Of The Woods Song Chart
  • The second single from Taylor Swift's 1989 album, the song was written and produced by the singer with fun.'s Jack Antonoff. "One of the goals I set out to accomplish when I wanted to make this album is I wanted to make sure that these songs sounded exactly the way that the emotions felt when I felt them," said Swift in a video. "This song is about the fragility and kind of breakable nature of some relationships. This was a relationship where it was kind of living day-to-day, wondering where it was going, if it was gonna go anywhere, if it was gonna end the next day. It was a relationship where you never feel like you're standing on solid ground."

    "And that kind of a feeling brings on excitement, but also extreme anxiety, and kind of a frantic feeling of wondering," she continued. "Endless questions. And this song sounds exactly like that frantic feeling of anxiety and questioning, but it stresses that, even if a relationship is breakable and fragile and full of anxiety, it doesn't mean that it isn't worthwhile, exciting, beautiful and all the things that we look for."
  • Fans have speculated the song could be about Swift's brief fling with One Direction's Harry Styles. She told Rolling Stone it's the tale of a relationship where, "every day was a struggle. Forget making plans for life – we were just trying to make it to next week."
  • Swift recounts in the lyric an unreported incident when she and her then-boyfriend went to the ER after getting into a snowmobile accident

    Remember when you hit the brakes too soon
    Twenty stitches in a hospital room


    Swift told Rolling Stone that her ex lost control of the snowmobile and wrecked it so badly that she saw her life flash before her eyes. Both of them had to go to the hospital, although Swift wasn't as hurt as her boyfriend.
  • Swift built up a lot of anticipation for this song by talking about it at media appearances (including Good Morning America) and using her Instagram and Twitter accounts to tease it. The campaign paid off when the song shot to #1 on the iTunes chart soon after it was released at midnight on Monday, October 13, 2014.
  • Speaking to Billboard magazine about the track, Jack Antonoff said: "There's a frantic feeling in the song. What's interesting about 'Out Of The Woods' is that it doesn't really let up. It starts with a pretty big anthemic vocal sample that's me, and then there's a drum sample that kicks in that's kind of huge, and then you don't really know how you're going to get any bigger but then the chorus hits and it just explodes even larger. And then the bridge hits, and it gets even more huge."
  • The song has a strong '80s feel, which according to Antonoff, was influenced by the work of one of the decade's most popular filmmakers: "We were talking about John Hughes movies, and a lot of the music that inspired [them], and just this general culture of sound in that time period that was really larger-than-life in an anthemic, positive way," he said. "These songs could be at the end of films that were really, really beautiful and said a lot."
  • A further lyrical clue that Harry Styles is the subject of this song lies in the lines:

    Your necklace hanging round my neck
    The night we couldn't quite forge
    When we decided
    To move the furniture so we could dance
    Two paper airplanes flying, flying


    While the duo were rumored to be together, Taylor and Harry were both seen wearing identical silver necklaces each with a paper plane shaped symbol.
  • This was the first time that Swift wrote a song to an existing track. "I came up with that melody, the verse and chorus, in about 30 minutes and sent it back to him," Swift told USA Today. "Both of us were just freaking out."
  • Regarding the instrumentation, Antonoff mixed 1980s and contemporary elements, especially when it came to the synthesizers. "I used a Yamaha DX7 a lot on that song, which is so uniquely '80s, but then countered it with a super-distorted Minimoog Voyager in the chorus," he told USA Today. "That sounds extremely modern to me. It's that back-and-forth."
  • According to Taylor Swift, the main snare is "a combo of white noise" that Jack Antonoff got "from blowing out the EMI board, clapping his hands, and, no joke, dropping his gear bag. He mic-d that up on the floor."
  • When Swift introduced a stripped-down version of the song during a performance at the Grammy Museum, she discussed the uneasy relationship it was based on, saying, "The number one feeling I felt in the whole relationship was anxiety, because it felt very fragile, it felt very tentative. And it always felt like, 'OK, what's the next road block? What's the next thing that's going to deter this? How long do we have before this turns into just an awful mess and we break up? Is it a month? Is it three days?'"

    "I think a lot of relationships can be very solid and that's kind of what you hope for, for it to be solid and healthy but that's not always what you get," Swift continued. "And it doesn't mean that it's not special and extraordinary just to have a relationship that's fragile and somehow meaningful in that fragility."
  • The visually stunning music video for "Out of the Woods" showcases Swift surviving harsh and demanding circumstances in nature. The director, Joseph Kahn, took to Twitter after the release of the video to praise Swift's commitment to the project. He wrote a series of tweets saying, "Taylor was so dedicated to making this video. I was wrapped in snow gear. She was in a dress. She suffered for her art." He continued, "Taylor chose to stay in the mud for hours to keep the shoot moving. No in and out. Just gangstered it. She is bad ass."

    Shot on location in New Zealand, the video was filmed in November 2015, when Swift was in the Auckland area as part of her 1989 World Tour. The shoot was not without controversy, as Swift and her team were accused by local conservationists of flouting filming regulations on Bethells Beach .

    The scenic clip finds Swift experiencing several adventures. It starts with her being chased by a pack of wolves before leaping off a cliff to escape and we also see her crawling through mud in the middle of a lightning storm, braving a snowy mountain in her blue dress and dealing with some clingy vines.

    The video concludes with the empowering line, "She lost him. But she found herself. And somehow that was everything," which originally was part of the secret messages in the lyric-booklet of Swift's 1989 record.

    Kahn said: "The entire video is Taylor suffering through an emotional landscape. It's a metaphor, being done practically on location."
  • Swift opened the Grammy Awards in 2016 with a performance of this song.

    Ecotone Lyrics


    I'm the wilderness that eats your bones
    You crossed the mark from your civil zone
    I might be narrow I might be wide
    We share the same line at the same time

    Alienized that's how I feel
    One foot here and another there
    And in between I'll find a name
    But what I see is all the same

    When you think you are alone
    I'm right by your side
    Well they call me Ecotone
    The cold boundary knife

    I'm the second when the lights go out
    Caught in between there's no way out
    The edge effect that what it is
    But still in the center of the place

    Changing colors right in front of you
    Even though we are one in two
    Sharing the balance of the ecotone
    Makes the alien breathe no more

    Well you thought you were alone
    But it was right there by your side
    Still they call me the ecotone
    The boundary knife

  • Vocalist Michael Poulsen explained the song's meaning to Artist Direct : "If you Google 'Ecotone,' you'll get a really explanation about it," he said. "It's where if you're in the wilderness and you walk around, there will be a certain line where civilization and the wilderness meet exactly. However, there is a difference. You can plant a flower on one side of the line, and it will blossom. Fifteen centimeters away from that line, you won't be able to grow anything, it will die. It's a balance of a center where you almost are at the same place, but the differences are huge. It's where civilization actually meets the wilderness somehow. It's a very interesting subject."

    "I took that and thought, "What if 'Ecotone' was something you had in your own system as a human being?" I made a lyric out of it," Poulsen continued. "It's a sensation area between two environments. It's where two communities meet and integrate. Imagine you're building new technology on one side, and the next second you're attacked by a tiger. It's definitely a cool subject."

    Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? Lyrics


    She sits alone, waiting for suggestions
    He's so nervous, avoiding all the questions
    His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
    Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking?

    If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
    Come on, sugar, let me know
    If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
    Come on, honey, tell me so

    He's acting shy, looking for an answer
    Come on, honey, let's spend the night together
    Now, hold on a minute before we go much further
    Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
    They catch a cab to his high-rise apartment
    At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant

    If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
    Come on, sugar, let me know
    If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
    Come on, honey, tell me so

    His heart's beating like a drum
    'Cause at last he's got this girl home
    Relax, baby. Now we're all alone

    They wake at dawn, 'cause all the birds are singing
    Two total strangers, but that ain't what they're thinking
    Outside it's cold, misty, and it's raining
    They got each other. Neither one's complaining
    He says, I'm sorry, but I'm out of milk and coffee
    Never mind, sugar. We can watch the early movie

    If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
    Come on, sugar, let me know
    If you really need me, just reach out and touch me
    Come on, honey, tell me so

    Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? Song Chart
  • Stewart was known for his soulful blues and folk ballads, but this song was a disco departure, and it gave him a new look. He attracted many new fans, but alienated many of his old ones, who had no interest in disco and fondly remembered Rod as a member of The Faces, where he earned a reputation as hard-rocking party animal. Reflecting on the song in the May 1995 issue of Mojo magazine, Stewart said: "I think it's one of those songs that everyone can remember what they were doing in that particular year. It was one of the 10 songs that summed up that whole dance/disco period. And that's what music's about surely, to bring back memories."

    Speaking in Esquire in 2012, he said: "I used to be embarrassed to sing 'Da Ya Think I'm Sexy,' but people love it. So it's in the show."
  • Most of the music for this song was written by drummer Carmine Appice, who had recently joined Stewart's band. Appice told us: "We were in the studio and 'Miss You' by The Rolling Stones was a big hit. Rod was always a guy that used to listen to what was going on around him. He was always looking at the charts and listening. He was a big fan of The Rolling Stones, so when they came out with "Miss You," disco was really big at the time, so he wanted to do some kind of disco-y song, something like 'Miss You,' nothing like Gloria Gaynor.

    With the band, he would always tell us, 'I want a song like this' or 'I want a song like that,' so I went home and I came up with a bunch or chords and a melody. I presented it to him via a friend of mine, Duane Hitchings, who is a songwriter who had a little studio. We went in his studio with his drum machines and his keyboards, and he made my chords sound better. We gave Rod a demo of the verses and the bridge, and Rod came up with the chorus. We played it with the band many, many ways before we got the correct arrangement with Tom Dowd. Unfortunately, they put so much stuff on it that it dwarfed the sound of the band. It made the band sound smaller because it had strings and two or three keyboard players, congas, and drums. When we were doing it, we thought it was going to be more like The Rolling Stones with just the band playing it. It came out and went to #1 everywhere."
  • The distinctive riff came from an instrumental song called "Taj Mahal" by a Brazilian musician named Jorge Ben. When Ben filed suit, Stewart agreed to give proceeds from the song to UNICEF. He later recalled in his book, Rod: The Autobiography: "I held my hand up straight away. Not that I'd stood in the studio and said, 'Here, I know we'll use that tune from Taj Mahal as the chorus. The writer lives in Brazil, so he'll never find out.' Clearly the melody had lodged itself in my memory and then resurfaced. Unconscious plagiarism, plain and simple."

    There is a blues guitarist named Taj Mahal who made his own version of the song using this same riff. The title, and also the only lyrics in the song, is "Jorge Ben."
  • Co-writer Carmine Appice told us: "If you look at the lyrics, it was a story. Rod told stories in his songs: 'The Killing Of Georgie' was a story, 'Tonight's The Night' was a story. Any of his songs are like little mini-stories. This was a story of a guy meeting a chick in a club. At that time, that was a cool saying. If you listen to the lyrics - 'She sits alone, waiting for suggestions, he's so nervous...' - it's the feelings of what was going on in a dance club. The guy sees a chick he digs, she's nervous and he's nervous and she's alone and doesn't know what's going on, then they end up at his place having sex, and then she's gone."
  • Stewart claims this song is not about him, as it is sung in the third person.
  • Stewart used the title as the name of his 1978 tour. He would wear tight spandex and gyrate on stage. When he sang the title line, hoards of women would scream back, "Yes!"
  • This went along with the Hollywood lifestyle Stewart had adopted. He moved from England to Los Angeles in 1975 and quickly fit in with the glamorous crowd. Dating blonde models was his specialty.
  • This was promoted by an unusual "video-within-a-video." It showed people watching him perform this on a "television screen." The concert footage was taped first - whenever Stewart forgot the lyrics, he'd turn his face away from the camera.
  • Stewart was ahead of his time from a marketing standpoint. Not only did he make a video for this song before MTV was even a glimmer, but he also released a limited edition 12" version, which was guaranteed to be a collector's item because only 300,000 were made. The album was also released as a limited edition picture disc, which contained graphics printed directly on the vinyl as well as a cardboard pull-out of Stewart's face. 100,000 copies were pressed.
  • A Chicago disc jockey named Steve Dahl released a parody of this called "Do You Think I'm Disco?" which became a weapon in the war to rid the world of disco music.

    Disco Demolition Night took place at Comiskey Park in Chicago on July 12, 1979. Between games of a doubleheader between the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers, radio personality Steve Dahl blew up a box of disco records in the outfield. Fans were given reduced admission for bringing unwanted disco records to the game, resulting in a huge crowd that was there for the mayhem rather than the baseball. Chaos ensued as the crowd rushed the field, tearing up the grass and making the second game unplayable.
  • Paris Hilton recorded this in 2006 on her first album.
  • This was used in an animated TV commercial for Chips Ahoy! where a cartoon cookie sings.
  • The string line came from the Bobby Womack song "If You Want My Love, Put Something Down On It." Said Stewart: "I told Bobby and he thought that was real cute - 'cos you can nick string lines without breaching copyright."
  • Stewart was slagged by critics for the song's provocative lyrics and for a promotional drive featuring him in a skin-tight Spandex outfit. He writes in his book, Rod: The Autobiography, "Music critics... wrote off 'Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?' as the work of a terrible show-off. It was only a pop record, but you'd have thought I'd poisoned the water supply... It didn't help that the marketing campaign for the single had me stretched out in full Spandex-clad glory beneath the slogan 'Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?'"
  • This seems like a song that would become dated quickly, but it remained a crowd favorite throughout Stewart's career. He played it on tours in every decade, fully aware of the camp factor. At concerts in 2015, a quote from his younger days would appear on the video screen when he performed the song: "I don't want to be singing 'Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?' at age 50 and be a parody of myself."

    Desire Lyrics


    I must be tough
    I must behave, I must keep fighting
    Don't give it up
    I want to keep us compromising

    Open your arms and pray
    To the truth that you're denying
    Give in to the game
    To the sense that you've been hiding

    Where are you taking me?
    I can't be blamed
    I want you to want me again

    Is it Desire
    Or is it love that I'm feeling for you
    I want desire
    'Cause your love only gets me abused

    Give me that rush
    I want to show you what you've been missing
    Am I enough
    To keep your other lovers hidden

    Where are you taking me?
    I can't be blamed
    I want you to want me again

    Is it desire
    Or is it love that I'm feeling for you
    I want desire
    'Cause your love only gets me abused

    Is it desire (is it desire)
    Or is it love that I'm feeling for you
    I want desire
    I wanna see what you're willing to lose

    You know that you've got me
    You've locked me down
    You tell me you want me
    You need it now
    You know that you've got me
    You've locked me down
    You tell me you want me now

    Is it desire? (Is it desire)
    Or is it love that I'm feeling for you
    I want desire (I want desire)
    'Cause your love only gets me abused

    Is it desire? (Is it desire)
    Or is it love that I'm feeling for you? (That I'm feeling for you)
    I want desire
    I wanna see what you're willing to lose (ooh what you're willing to lose)

  • Years & Years are a soulful electronic pop trio who formed in 2010. Their vocalist Olly Alexander is also a successful actor having featured in a number of films including Tormented, Enter the Void, and Great Expectations as well as also playing Jakob in the TV series Skins. He joined the band after guitarist Mikey Goldsworthy heard him singing in the shower.
  • This is the third single released by the band. "We started writing the chorus first, which isn't usually how we write, as 'desire' became the hook and statement," Alexander explained. "The track reminded us of those big '90s house tunes, which we took a lot of inspiration from, including Chicago house, so we wanted to keep that same energy and pace throughout."
  • The song's music video was directed by Sing J Lee (Gorgon City's "Ready For Your Love," Charli XCX's "Boom Clap"). "After getting hooked on the track, the boys sent a note through about the meaning of the song, a cyclical conflict of being a slave to desire and the blurring between the lines of lust and love," Lee explained.

    "This in mind, I wanted to create something sensual and surreal, and it felt right that we should visit a strange world set within an apartment block and fleetingly peer into the lives of characters as they voyeuristically and hungrily fantasize over watching each other," he added, "with Olly playing the enigmatic raconteur."
