Trapped in a Box Lyrics

Trapped in a Box Song Chart

When Gwen Stefani says "Trapped in a box," the box she is talking about television. The song is about how people get really wrapped up in TV, and are very much influenced by actors, actresses, commercials, etc. The Video has a really great representation of what the song is about. (thanks, Katie - Savannah, GA)

The video for this song was the first that the band had done, and it only cost them $5,000. MTV never played it, but MTV2 did.

No Doubt, the band's first album, initially sold only 30,000 copies despite being played by Los Angeles radio station KROQ. It has now sold upwards of 250,000 copies.

Diary Of Torture Lyrics

Diary Of Torture Song Chart

This death metal track would be lurid enough if it were not grounded solidly in fact. Subtitled "Robert Berdella," the Chicago band based it on the crimes of this little known but incredibly depraved serial killer.

On April 2, 1988, a young man naked but for a dog collar (though not the type worn by vicars), jumped from an upper floor window of a house in Kansas City. The man who escaped from 4315 Charlotte Street had injured his foot in the fall, but his other injuries were shocking in the extreme; he had been imprisoned for weeks and had been repeatedly tortured. His appearance in such bizarre circumstances led to the arrest of Robert Andrew Berdella.

The details of Berdella's crimes need not be spelled out here, it will suffice to say that he is known to have committed at least six murders. Although murder was capital in Kansas, Berdella escaped the death penalty, but died in prison of a heart attack in October 1992 aged 43. He did indeed keep a diary of torture.

Fallin' Lyrics

I keep on Fallin'
In and out of love
With you
Sometimes I love ya
Sometimes you make me blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
Lovin' you darlin'

Fallin' Song Chart

This opens with a bit of classical music by Chopin, who Keys called "my dawg." She studied artists like Chopin, Beethoven, and Mozart when she played the piano growing up (she was born Alicia Augello-Cook, but took the stage name Keys because of the piano imagery).

Unlike modern samples, classical music is fair game for reinterpretation, and can be used without paying for it. Since it is hundreds of years old, there is no one who can claim rights to the music and collect publishing/songwriting royalties.

This was the first single from Keys, who was 20 years old when it was released, but had started writing the song three years earlier. A prodigy who signed with Columbia records when she was 16, Keys wrote the song while she was at the label. Her Columbia album never materialized, as she never clicked with their vision. When she was 18, she left for J Records, a new label founded by Clive Davis. Under Davis, she was given more creative freedom, which worked out very well. "Fallin'" was a huge hit and validated Davis' strategy.

This song is about the emotions that occur when you care very deeply for a person. Keys was going through a turbulent relationship when she wrote it, which inspired the song. It was a case of young love being vivid, as it was a new experience. "Your first one affects you even more so because you don't have the experience to know how to play it," Keys said. "You're tripping your way through it, and those hardships and good times and just growing is how 'Fallin'' developed."

Keys says that writing the song helped her work things out in the relationship.

The video shows Keys visiting her boyfriend... in jail.

The scenes showing Key visiting her incarcerated boyfriend complimented the song's ruminations on the pain of love. They were inspired by the case of Santra Rucker, who was sentenced to 13 consecutive life sentences for conspiracy to sell drugs because her boyfriend was a dealer. The story struck home with Keys, who became a pen pal with the imprisoned Rucker. The singer told The Guardian: "I wanted to show the realism behind love.... I know people who've gone to jail. It don't mean you stop loving them. It could be me in there."

Keys wanted to play the convict in the video, but her record company didn't want her showing up in prison garb in her first clip. It was a rare instance of Keys being overruled in a creative decision, but it was probably the right call, as the video showcased her striking beauty in a number of backdrops.

The music video was directed by Chris Robinson, who helmed clips for many R&B/Hip-Hop acts including Usher ("The Color of Love"), Erykah Badu ("Love of My Life") and Boyz II Men ("The Color of Love").

The success of this song led to great anticipation for the album, which debuted at #1 and stayed there for three weeks, even beating out P. Diddy's album.

On the strength of this single, the album Songs In A minor sold over 11 million copies worldwide. It was a good time for album sales, as digital distribution (legal and otherwise) encouraged single song downloads over the next few years.

Clive Davis had Keys perform this at his Grammy party, which was attended by lots of industry bigwigs. This led to an appearance on Jay Leno, which got her a great deal of publicity.

Keys got a big break when she performed this on Oprah before the album was released. Clive Davis wrote Oprah a personal letter to help get her on show.

According to Keys, her mother, who raised her on her own (her dad split when she was two years old), helped inspire this song. Her mom could drive Alicia crazy at times, but her love for her was unwavering.

This won the 2001 MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist In A Video. Keys performed this on the show, opening with a piano piece by Beethoven.

Despite the backing of Clive Davis, it was feared that this song wouldn't get playlisted. However, it went on to become one of the best-selling singles of 2001. Keys later reflected to Entertainment Weekly: ''There were so many people who didn't believe in it, because it went so much against the state of radio at the time. And just the journey of writing it - about how when you love someone but you're in and out, the struggle... When I sing it, I remember the years and years it took to get to a place where people would hear it, and I'm just so grateful."

Keys performed this on the 2001 season premiere of Saturday Night Live.

This won the 2001 Grammys for Song of the Year, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, and Best R&B Song. Keys performed this on the show and also won awards for Best New Artist and Best R&B Album.

Keys performed a version of this with Elmo on Sesame Street called "Dancin'."

In 2003, after the second season of American Idol, judge Simon Cowell banned this song from the show because contestants kept singing it and the judges couldn't take it any more. It wasn't the only song to get the Idol ax; others to share this honor include "Candle In The Wind" and "I Will Always Love You."

This early Broonzy composition is also known as "Southern Flood Blues," and was inspired by the Deep South floods of 1917. Broonzy claimed it was based on his personal experience but in view of his vivid imagination and penchant for telling tall tales, it remains to be seen how truthful that is.

It was also recorded by Bessie Smith. (thanks, Alexander Baron - London, England)

In The End Lyrics

It starts with one thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away

It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but you didn't even know
Wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me
Will eventually be a memory of a time when

I tried so hard
And got so far
But In The End
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try,
Keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme,
To remind myself of a time when
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end
You kept everything inside
And even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know
I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

In The End Song Chart

The lyrics are based on the struggles lead singer Chester Bennington went through growing up. He was often picked on.

This video was shot on a Los Angeles sound stage. The statue's head, where the band is performing, was built there, but the rest was CGI. The areas where Mike is standing "in the desert" are real - he was sitting on real grass and he was walking on real stones, but they were about 10 feet by 5 feet. The rest was, you guessed it, CGI. Halfway through filming, directors Joe Hahn and Nathan Cox decided to set water pipes off above the band, so they all got completely soaked. Nathan could see how irritated the band were by this, so he invited his friend (who's in a Bluegrass band) over and he performed some Linkin Park songs, including an hilarious version of "Crawling." In the video, if you look very closely, you can see Joe's belt buckle, which says "MR HAHN." The song is about feeling like there's no point in living, and was originally seen as being very negative, so the video was very positive. It's like a cycle of life (the song starts and ends with the piano) - the desert is very dead, but the rain comes and at the end, there's flowers and rivers and butterflies. (thanks, Abbey - Essex, England)

In March 2001, 15-year-old Charles Andrew Williams shot and killed two of his classmates at his high school in Santee, California. He left a note for his father with the lyrics to this as an attempt to explain his feelings. The key lines were "I tried so hard and got so far, but in the end, it doesn't really matter."

The video was shot in a California desert while the band was between stops on the 2001 Ozzfest tour.

Hybrid Theory was the #1 selling album of 2001.

This was the third single from Linkin Park's first album. Their first two singles were "One Step Closer" and "Crawling." All three songs explore the dark side of growing up.

"Hybrid Theory" is the original name of the band. They decided to use it as the album title.

This was released as a single about nine months after the album. It took a while for the album to catch on, but it eventually sold very well.

On their 2002 album Reanimation, this was remixed by Kutmasta Kurt with vocals by Motion Man. The title was changed to "Enth E Nd," and it was given a hip-hop sound.

At the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, this won for Best Rock Video. Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth, who were touring together at the time, presented the award. Before announcing the winner, Roth asked Hagar what his favorite Linkin Park song was, and Hagar said he didn't know any Linkin Park songs.

Mike Shinoda: "I remember putting this together in our rehearsal studio on Hollywood and Vine, working overnight in a room with no windows. I had no idea what time of day it was; I just slept when I was tired, and worked on this song until it took shape. The first guy to hear it was Rob, who told me (I'm paraphrasing) that this was 'exactly the kind of song he wanted us to write." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

The Hearse Song Lyrics

The Hearse Song Song Chart

Also known as "The Worms Crawl In," this delightful ditty is thought to have originated from the First World War or earlier. Certainly fragments of the lyrics predate the 20th Century, and although our ancestors lacked the technology that makes possible gory horror films like ...Dream Warriors, they certainly did not lack lurid imaginations.

Whether or not it is entirely or partly of American origin, it was popularized by the New England author Alvin Schwartz (1927-92), who included the lyrics of what might be called his version in Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark. This 1981 book was written for children, though many people - including those who run the American Library Association - did not consider it entirely suitable for young minds.

Mama Song Chart

This is about a young man obsessed with a prostitute who is not interested in him. He has an Oedipal fixation on her, and insists on calling her "Mama." It is based on a book Phil Collins read called The Moon's A Balloon, by David Niven. In the book, a young man falls in love with an older prostitute who does not return his affections.

After their 1980 album Duke, Genesis changed the way they wrote songs. Instead of the individual members bringing in musical bits and song ideas to work on, the band would show up in the studio and come up with ideas collectively. According to Phil Collins, it was Mike Rutherford who came up with this song after getting the idea from his drum machine. Their keyboard player Tony Banks added some chords, and Collins began improvising lyrics while they listened to playbacks, at one point uttering the word "Mama," which became the title for the song. In a press conference following the release of the album, Collins said that when they wrote the song, it "had a lot of steam, a lot of heat," and they pictured Cuban brothels. The band didn't think much of the song when they wrote it, and were surprised when it caught on.

The chorus consists of maniacal laughter performed by Phil Collins. When questioned about getting into the sinister mood to perform the song, Collins said that it wasn't a problem. After all, he was an accomplished actor long before he joined Genesis.

If you thought this song dealt with abortion, you're not the only one. Phil Collins has recounted a story about played the song for the band's manager for the first time, who thought the narrator was the voice of the fetus pleading with the pregnant woman.

The unusual percussion was created with a drum machine set to distort the beats. Collins based the drum rhythm on a track he worked on for Peter Gabriel called "Intruder." Gabriel encouraged Collins to experiment and use different processing devices.

Collins, who became the lead singer of Genesis when Gabriel left in 1975, did a lot of the drumming on Gabriel's third solo album - he was taking a break from the band and sorting out his marital problems at the time.

Phil Collins got the idea for the crazy laugh from the 1982 Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five song "The Message," where lead vocalist Melle Mel does a similar breathy laugh.

This was the first single from the album. They had now completely departed from their Peter Gabriel era sound and were getting a lot of radio play as a result.

Many groups title their first album the name of the band, but not counting live albums, this was Genesis' 12th release and 6th without Gabriel.

This was their biggest UK hit to that point. It didn't chart in America, where "That's All" was the big hit from the album.

An extended version was released as a CD single in 1988.

The video featured uncomfortably close shots of Phil Collins' face, where he looked particularly demonic. The image left a lasting impression on viewers and gained a lot of buzz for the video, which did well on the burgeoning MTV network.

The clip was helmed by the British director "Stuart Orme," who did several other Genesis videos ("No Reply At All," "Misunderstanding") and worked on many popular TV series in England, including Al Fresco and Inspector Morse.

Disco 2000 Lyrics

Oh we were born within one hour of each other
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother
Your name is Deborah, Deborah
It never suited ya
And they said that when we grew up
We'd get married, and never split up
Oh, we never did it, although I often thought of it

Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small
With wood chip on the wall
When I came around to call
You didn't notice me at all

And I said let's all meet up in the year 2000
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown
Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road
I never knew that you'd get married
I would be living down here on my own
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago

You were the first girl at school to get breasts
And Martyn said that you were the best
Oh the boys all loved you, but I was a mess
I had to watch them trying to get you undressed
We were friends, that was as far as it went
I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant
Oh, it meant nothing to you
'Cause you were so popular

Deborah do you recall?
Your house was very small
With woodchip on the wall
When I came around to call
You didn't notice me at all

And I said let's all meet up in the year 2000
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown
Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road
I never knew that you'd get married
I would be living down here on my own
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago
Do it
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Ah Deborah do you recall?
Oh, your house was very small
With wood chip on the wall
When I came around to call
You didn't notice me at all

And I said let's all meet up in the year 2000
Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown
Be there 2 o'clock by the fountain down the road
I never knew that you'd get married
I would be living down here on my own
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago

Oh what are you doing Sunday baby
Would you like to come and meet me maybe?
You can even bring your baby
Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
What are you doing Sunday baby
Would you like to come and meet me maybe?
You can even bring your baby
Ooh ooh oh oh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

Disco 2000 Song Chart

The lyric tells the story of the narrator falling for a childhood friend 'Deborah' ("Your name is Deborah (Deborah), it never suited ya") whom has since grown apart from them, reminiscing about how they were born so close together ("within an hour of each other, our mothers said we could be sister and brother") and how the narrator struggled with his feelings towards her especially when she hit puberty and developed breasts. The title lyric comes from the overarching theme of wondering what would happen if the two met up again "in the Year 2000" and how much both have grown up since then.

According to Jarvis Cocker, most of the lyrics are based on a true story. In a 2002 interview with Liz Kershaw on BBC 6 Music, Cocker explained: "I haven't got much of a sense of imagination so a lot of our songs are just straight true stories - there was a girl called Deborah - she was born in the same hospital as me - not within an hour - I think it was like three hours - but you can't fit three hours into the song without having to really rush the singing! ("We were born within-three-hours of each other") It don't work! So I took poetic license and cut it down to an hour. But basically you know the whole thing was the same - I fancied her for ages and then she started to become a woman and her breasts began to sprout so then all the boys fancied her then - I didn't stand a 'cat-in-hell's chance' - but then I did use to sometimes hang around outside her house and stuff like that. The only bit that isn't true is the woodchip wallpaper."

The "fountain down the road" referenced in the lyric is believed to be the Goodwin Fountain in Sheffield (Cocker's home town) city centre, formerly placed in Fargate - the irony being that the fountain itself was demolished by the 'year 2000' in reality!

Due to the song's millennial theme and subject matter, the band decided to pull the song's synchronization license at the start of 1999 to avoid the song constantly being used to soundtrack various promotions/adverts relating to the new millennium, only relinquishing this by the end of 2000 when the song would not be quite as relevant again. A synchronization license enables music to be 'synced' to other media, usually TV adverts, videogames and so forth.

The song was used to good effect in the BBC drama Life on Mars, where main character DI Sam Tyler is somehow transported from the present day back to 1973. In a sequence in the car with DCI Gene Hunt, "Disco 2000" mysteriously plays, and Tyler remarks to a bemused Hunt that he saw Pulp play the Manchester Nynex (now the MEN Arena) in 1996. Obviously Hunt, being a product of the 1973 world, has no idea who the hell Pulp are - and perhaps the usage of a Pulp song referencing the new millennium was intentional just to further exacerbate the clash between two different time periods.

The inspiration for the song was Cocker's childhood friend, Deborah Bone, a mental health professional who was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer in January 2013 and passed away at her home on December 30, 2014. She was awarded an MBE in the 2015 New Year's Honours List for developing the Brainbox device, which helps young people cope with stress and anxiety. Cocker reportedly sung "Disco 2000" at Bone's 50th birthday party.

Writing on her blog prior to her passing, Deborah said: "Born in Sheffield, my claim to fame is growing up and sleeping with Jarvis Cocker, well someone had to do it, and it was all perfectly innocent! I have been told and like to believe that I am the Deborah in the #1 hit Disco 2000 but we never did get to meet up by the fountain down the road."

Supper's Ready Lyrics

Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off.
Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes.
As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time,
I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right.
...And it's hello babe with your guardian eyes so blue
Hey my baby don't you know our love is true.

Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies.
Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright,
Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly.
The seventh walks in front with a cross held high in hand.
...And it's hey babe your supper's waiting for you.
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true.

I've been so far from here,
Far from your warm arms.
It's good to feel you again,
It's been a long long time. Hasn't it?

I know a farmer who looks after the farm.
With water clear, he cares for all his harvest.
I know a fireman who looks after the fire.

You, can't you see he's fooled you all.
Yes, he's here again, can't you see he's fooled you all.
Share his peace,
Sign the lease.
He's a supersonic scientist,
He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man.
Look, look into my mouth he cries,
And all the children lost down many paths,
I bet my life you'll walk inside
Hand in hand,
gland in gland
With a spoonful of miracle,
He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man.
We will rock you, rock you little snake,
We will keep you snug and warm.

Wearing feelings on our faces while our faces took a rest,
We walked across the fields to see the children of the West,
But we saw a host of dark skinned warriors
standing still below the ground,
Waiting for battle.

The fight's begun, they've been released.
Killing foe for peace...bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang...
And they're giving me a wonderful potion,
'cause I cannot contain my emotion.
And even though I'm feeling good,
Something tells me I'd better activate my prayer capsule.

Today's a day to celebrate, the foe have met their fate.
The order for rejoicing and dancing has come from our warlord.

Wandering through the chaos the battle has left,
We climb up a mountain of human flesh,
To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life.
A young figure sits still by a pool,
He's been stamped "Human Bacon" by some butchery tool.
(He is you)
Social Security took care of this lad.
We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower.

A flower?

If you go down to Willow Farm,
to look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies
Open your eyes, it's full of surprise, everyone lies,
like the focks on the rocks,
and the musical box.
Oh, there's Mum & Dad, and good and bad,
and everyone's happy to be here.

There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag,
he used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag.
The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an egg,
the egg was a bird.
(Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail)
Hadn't you heard?
(They're going to change you into a human being!)
Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese,
and wonderfully clean in the morning.

We've got everything, we're growing everything,
We've got some in
We've got some out
We've got some wild things floating about
Everyone, we're changing everyone,
you name them all,
We've had them here,
And the real stars are still to appear.

ALL CHANGE!

Feel your body melt;
Mum to mud to mad to dad
Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office,
You're all full of ball.

Dad to dam to dumb to mum
Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing,
You're all full of ball.

Let me hear you lies, we're living this up to the eyes.
Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa
Momma I want you now.

And as you listen to my voice
To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause.
You've been here all the time,
Like it or not, like what you got,
You're under the soil (the soil, the soil),
Yes, deep in the soil (the soil, the soil, the soil!).
So we'll end with a whistle and end with a bang
and all of us fit in our places.

With the guards of Magog, swarming around,
The Pied Piper takes his children underground.
Dragons coming out of the sea,
Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me.
He brings down the fire from the skies,
You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes.
Better not compromise.
It won't be easy.

666 is no longer alone,
He's getting out the marrow in your back bone,
And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll,
Gonna blow right down inside your soul.
Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon,
In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune.

And it's hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue,
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true,
I've been so far from here,
Far from your loving arms,
Now I'm back again, and babe it's gonna work out fine.

Can't you feel our souls ignite
Shedding ever changing colours,
in the darkness of the fading night,
Like the river joins the ocean,
as the germ in a seed grows
We have finally been freed to get back home.

There's an angel standing in the sun,
and he's crying with a loud voice,
"This is the supper of the mighty one",
Lord of Lords,
King of Kings,
Has returned to lead his children home,
To take them to the new Jerusalem.

Supper's Ready Song Chart

This concept piece is 23 minutes long and divided into seven sections. It tells the story of two lovers who travel to strange worlds, eventually returning to their world only to witness The Apocalypse.

At Genesis concerts, pamphlets were distributed with notes detailing what was going on in each section. This helped the crowd follow along.

Peter Gabriel was the band's lead singer at the time, and the lyrics he wrote for this song were inspired by a night he spent with his first wife, Jill, at her parents' house. Gabriel believes Jill became possessed by a spirit, which gave him the starting point for a song about the battle between good and evil.

Gabriel: "One of the first times that I felt as if I was really singing from my soul, almost like singing for my life."

Section 6 is titled "Apocalypse." Gabriel got the idea for it while reading the book of Revelations in The Bible. This section features a solo over an unusual 9/8 rhythm.

This was the first big production number Genesis came up with. Led by Gabriel, they started putting on extravagant stage performances to please the fans and generate publicity. In 1974, they took it to a new level by performing their entire double album The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway on tour. In that show, Gabriel changed costumes a number of times.

A few years after Gabriel left, Genesis moved from anthems like this to short pop songs. Led by Phil Collins, they lost some fans but had a string of hits.

When Gabriel left the band in 1975, they continued to perform this in concert, with Phil Collins on vocals. It is included on their 1977 live album Seconds Out. Gabriel told Mojo magazine that it was a "weird thing" seeing Collins sing a song with personal elements in it. He added: "It was like watching someone in your old clothes and you're not sure how well they fit."

The Days Lyrics

Under the tree where the grass don't grow
We made a promise to never get old
You had a chance and you took it on me
And I made a promise that I couldn't keep

Heart ache, heart break
All over town
But something flipped like a switch when you came around
And I'm in pieces, pick me up, and put me together

These are The Days we've been waiting for
Days like these you couldn't ask for more
Keep 'em coming
'Cause we're not done yet
These are the days we won't regret
These are the days we won't forget

These are the days we've been waiting for
Rattle the cage and slam that door
And the rhythm is calling us as we're not just yet
These are the days we won't regret
These are the days we won't forget

Out on the midnight
The wild ones howl
The last of the last boys have thrown in the towel
We used to believe we were stars aligned
You made a wish and I fell out of time

Time flew, cut through
All over town
You make me bleed when I look up
And you're not around
But I'm in pieces, pick me up, and put me together

These are the days we've been waiting for
Days like these you couldn't ask for more
Keep 'em coming
'Cause we're not done yet
These are the days we won't regret
These are the days we won't forget

These are the days we've been waiting for
Neither of us knows what's in store
You just roll your window down and place your bets
These are the days we won't regret
These are the days we'll never forget

And these are the days
And these are the days

The lead single from Avicii's Stories album, this features guest vocals from the British pop singer Robbie Williams. The song is a guitar-driven power ballad, one of a number of tracks incorporating rock. "I wanted to take a step away from 'Wake Me Up' and the folky stuff to explore my influences growing up," Avicii told Billboard magazine citing Toto and Queen. "There's no limitations."

This was omitted from the main version of the Stories album and is only included on the Japanese and Russian release.

Creep Lyrics

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special

But I'm a Creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I wanna a perfect body
I wanna a perfect soul

I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

She's running out again,
She's running out
She's run run run run

Run

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.
I don't belong here.

Creep Song Chart

When asked about the song in 1993, lead singer Thom Yorke said, "I have a real problem being a man in the '90s… Any man with any sensitivity or conscience toward the opposite sex would have a problem. To actually assert yourself in a masculine way without looking like you're in a hard-rock band is a very difficult thing to do… It comes back to the music we write, which is not effeminate, but it's not brutal in its arrogance. It is one of the things I'm always trying: To assert a sexual persona and on the other hand trying desperately to negate it."

On the other hand, guitarist/keyboardist Jonny Greenwood said the song was in fact a happy song about "recognizing what you are." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Yorke says this is about being in love with someone, but not feeling good enough. He describes the feeling as, "There's the beautiful people and then there's the rest of us."

Yorke wrote this in 1987 while he was a student at Exeter University in England. He first recorded it acoustic.

This was written before the band formed. Yorke gave his demo version to Colin Greenwood, who joined him and helped put the band together.

This wasn't released in the US until Radiohead's debut album in 1993. The band finished college and signed their record deal in 1991.

Yorke based this on a song called "The Air That I Breathe," which was written by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood in 1972. After "Creep" was released, Radiohead agreed to share the songwriting royalties, so this is credited to Yorke, Hammond and Hazlewood.

This did well in the US, but not in their native England. When they released their third album, O.K. Computer, Radiohead was huge in England but not in the US.

On the album version, Thom Yorke sings, "You're so f--king special." For radio, he recut it as, "You're so very special." Yorke regrets changing the line for the radio version, saying it disturbed the "sentiment of the song." According to him, the song lost its anger as a result.

According to Q magazine April 2008, the recording of this song came about as a result of producers Sean Slade and Paul Q Kolderie struggling with "Inside My Head" and "Lurgee." They remembered a track that that the band had played in rehearsal, introduced by Yorke as "our Scott Walker song." This portrait of an outsider was then recorded in one take.

The video, directed by Brett Turnbull, was recorded at a club in Oxford called The Zodiac.

One of the extras in the crowd scenes is a teenage Kieran Hebden, aka Four Tet. The producer and DJ has remixed Thom Yorke and Radiohead tracks and also supported Radiohead on tour.

This is nicknamed "Crap" by the band due its slacker-anthem ubiquity.

When this was first released in England in 1992, the song flopped. It did well when it was re-released a year later, after Radiohead grew a fan base.

The three blasts of guitar noise that precede the chorus was the result of Jonny Greenwood trying to sabotage a tune he considered too "wimpy."

Yorke claims he received fan mail from "murderers" saying how much they could relate to this song.

Prince performed this at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in 2008. He also played Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" and The Beatles' "Come Together." (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

The song returned to the UK singles chart in August 2010 after X-Factor auditionee Hollie Burns performed it on the show.

According to the book Radiohead: Hysterical and Useless, this song was inspired by Thom's obsession with a stranger. He was infatuated with a woman who was out of his league, who he'd never met but frequently saw in bars, and he found himself following her around. When he finally got himself drunk enough to build up the courage to confess his obsession, she freaked out. (thanks, Melissa - Istanbul, Turkey)

The first country this charted in was Israel.

Lea Michele and Dean Geyer performed this on Glee in the 2013 episode "Guilty Pleasures."

This was featured on the TV series Community in the 2014 episode "Basic Intergluteal Numismatics."

I Don't F--k With You Song Chart

This headbanging, fast-paced track finds Sean venting a lot of angry feelings about a girl that messed with him. The song was released soon after the rapper called off his engagement to Glee star Naya Rivera, but he insisted to MTV News the song isn't about her.

"The funny thing about 'I Don't F--- With You' is I actually wrote that while I was in a relationship," he said. "I wrote that when I was with my ex. And then obviously when a few things went down, I went back and changed a couple of words. But mainly the song was already there."

Sean told Billboard magazine it's a song that he believes many people can relate to. "I feel like it's an anthem for everybody," he noted. "It's an anthem in every way shape and form, if you don't f--k with somebody from your past, right now, or the other way around, somebody doesn't f--k with you."

Production credits are shared by DJ Mustard, Kanye West, DJ Dahi and Key Wane. Mustard was asked by The Boombox if he minds the split credit. "Nah, not at all," he replied. "I'm all about making big records. So if it takes 20 people to make a hit record or if it takes 10… Sometimes it only takes one but whatever is gonna make the record sound better than it did, I'm down for it."

Mustard had created the entire beat before the others added to it. "The beat was pretty much done," he said. I guess Kanye came in with a beat at the end and he did his 'Kanye thing' to it, to make it bigger than what it was and we just really came out…"

"Well," he paused, "Dahi was on it, Key Wane added a sample to it and it came out as a really good record."

Bay Area rapper E-40 spits the second verse. He is a founding member of the rap group The Click, and the founder of Sick Wid It Records. E-40 was one of Big Sean's favorite rappers when he was growing up. The Detroit MC recalled to HighSnobiety : "My older brother used to play his music for me all the time back when I was a shorty… I was like seven years old, eight years old listening to E-40, Tupac, Snoop [Dogg] and [Notorious] B.I.G.… It was great man, you could only imagine how it took my appreciation for him even further – he sounded better than he's ever sounded."

The football-themed music video was directed by Lawrence Lamont and portrays Big Sean as a quarterback during a football game. The clip contains notable cameos by DJ Mustard as the running back, Kanye West as the coach, Teyana Taylor as the head cheerleader and E-40 as the suited-up commentator. Internet sensations Simone Shepherd and Khalil Underwood feature as well.

Sports fans slammed Big Sean for the video as it was filled with inaccuracies, such as wide receivers and quarterbacks wearing the wrong numbers on their jerseys and swigging Red Bulls on the sidelines instead of Gatorade or water.

This was Big Sean's third #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, following his 2011 song "Marvin & Chardonnay" and his Cruel Summer collaboration with Kanye West, Pusha T and 2 Chainz, "Mercy."

The song stayed at the summit for eight weeks, Sean's biggest hit on the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs tally. "It's the non tangible rap element that made it a hit," Def Jam executive No I.D. told Billboard magazine. "The fact that everyone feels like that about somebody. If you're not a rap fan, you can still understand and relate to it, out of the gate. It was a record I pushed and fought for and everyone else in the building felt the same way."

Justin Bieber actually had DJ Mustard's beat for this song first. The producer told MTV News how Big Sean ended up recording the tune. "We all just didn't communicate; nobody communicated with my team," he explained to MTV News. "[There's] not no hard feelings or anything like that. It's not a beef or no crazy s--t like that, but we didn't communicate. I was excited about the record."

"When I got in with Sean, Sean had already picked the record," Mustard added. "I'm like, 'Dang, Justin got this record.' And I always kept telling my management like, 'Yo, they got this record,' and everybody was like, 'Well, we reaching, and nobody else is reaching out to us. So what do you wanna do?'"

"And I was like, you know what, just give it to Sean, because me and Sean got a relationship," he concluded. "And I ended up doing four songs on Sean's album."

After denying the track was about his ex-girlfriend Naya Rivera, Sean finally admitted to Complex magazine that their breakup was at least, in part, the inspiration for the song. The majority of the cut, he explained, was written while the two were still together. However, the final verse, especially the line, "And every day I wake up celebrating s--t, why? Cause I just dodged a bullet from a crazy bitch," are celebrating his escape from the relationship.
