Safe and Sound Lyrics

You slept through the last small town,
I'll wake you up when the next one comes around.
Your eyes are closed, like you truly believe
You're Safe and Sound with me

No looking back, no turning into salt.
The city was crumbling but, baby, we're not to fault.
When things got too rough, I promised you we'd leave.
You're safe and sound with me.

You're safe and sound with me,
Just like you always will, just like you always will be.

The wipers clear the windshield of the rain.
My shirt sleeve dries your eyes the very same.
We fit together like the ignition and the key.
You're safe and sound with me.

You're safe and sound with me,
Just like you always will, just like you always will be.

You're safe and sound with me,
Just like you always will, just like you always will be.

The glove box light shines bright enough to see.
You read the map like you were reading poetry.
And it just might take you forever to see,
That you're safe and sound with me.

Safe and Sound Song Chart

"Safe and Sound" is the tenth track on Hawksley Workman's debut album, For Him and the Girls. Workman wrote about the song on his website: "One night, i quietly wrote, what i wanted to be, the quintessential driving song… it's turned into a rather popular song for weddings…"

In 2014 when we asked Hawksley how he feels about this, he replied: "It's a big life event that you want to celebrate and it's kind of exciting for me that that song has that life."

Workman wrote the song in 1998 on a piano in the apartment he lived in with his then girlfriend. "I had imagined this song as traveling with her at the time and she was asleep," Hawksley told us. "So I guess the images were all there waiting to be plucked."

He continued, "It's interesting that it does come across as a wedding song because in my late teens, I was very pious. So I had a lot of biblical imagery floating around back then. My first few records are loaded with it."

Workman's idea about "Safe and Sound" being about traveling is evident in the first verse:

You slept through the last small town
I'll wake you up when the next one comes around
Your eyes are closed like you truly believe
You're safe and sound with me

Us And Them Lyrics

Us (us, us, us, us) and them (them, them, them, them)
And after all we're only ordinary men
Me
And you (you, you, you)
God only knows
It's not what we would choose (choose, choose) to do (to do, to do)
Forward he cried from the rear
And the front rank died
And the general sat
And the lines on the map
Moved from side to side
Black (black, black, black)
And blue (blue, blue)
And who knows which is which and who is who
Up (up, up, up, up)
And down (down, down, down, down)
And in the end it's only round 'n round (round, round, round)
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words
The poster bearer cried
Listen son, said the man with the gun
There's room for you inside

"I mean, they're not gonna kill ya,
So if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock,
They won't do it again. Dig it?
I mean he get off lightly, 'cause I would've given him a thrashing
I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really
I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?"

Down (down, down, down, down)
And out (out, out, out, out)
It can't be helped that there's a lot of it about
With (with, with, with), without
And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about?
Out of the way
It's a busy day
I've got things on my mind
For the want of the price
Of tea and a slice
The old man died

Us And Them Song Chart

This began as a piano piece Rick Wright came up with while working on the soundtrack to the 1970 movie Zabriskie Point. It didn't make the soundtrack, but they worked with it at the Dark Side of the Moon sessions and it eventually became this song. The director of Zabriskie Point, Michelangelo Antonioni, rejected the song for being "beautiful, but too sad... it makes me think of church."

Zabriskie Point was one of the first soundtracks Pink Floyd worked on. They put a lot of work into it, but the director ended up using only 3 of their songs. Floyd also worked on soundtracks for the movies More, The Valley, and Tonight Let's All Make Love In London.

The band refereed to this as "The Violence Sequence" because they worked on it for a very violent scene in the movie.

Dave Gilmour sings lead, but this song was written by Roger Waters and Pink Floyd keyboard player Rick Wright. Some of Wright's other songwriting credits include "Breathe," "Great Big Gid In The Sky," and "One Of These Days," but by the late '70s Waters ended up doing most of the writing himself, and he wrote all the songs on their 1983 album The Final Cut. Talking about Wright's compositions, Waters said in a 2003 interview with Uncut: "He would write odd bits. He secreted them away and put them on those solo albums he made and were never heard. He never shared them. It was unbelievably stupid. I never understood why he did that. I'm sure there were two or three decent chord sequences. If he'd given them to me, I would have been very, very happy to make something with them."

One of Pink Floyd's first uses of female backup singers. They brought in Liza Strike, Leslie Duncan and Doris Troy to sing harmonies. Troy had a hit on her own with "Just One Look."

Like other songs on the album, this contains the ramblings of random voices. Roger Waters made flashcards with questions on them and recorded different people around the studio answering them. He showed one to a weird roadie for another band named Roger The Hat, who got the question "When was the last time you thumped somebody." His answer made it onto this song, which is the part about giving someone a "short, sharp shock."

Along with "Money," this was one of 2 songs on the album to use a sax, which was played by Dick Parry.

The engineer for the album was Alan Parsons, who also worked on The Beatles' Abbey Road album. Some of the production techniques on this are similar to the suite of songs at the end of that album, especially "Sun King." Parsons went on to form his own band called The Alan Parsons Project. They had a hit in 1982 with "Eye In The Sky."

Pink Floyd's record company was originally hesitant to release this track because it was felt that the signature melody line was extremely depressing. (thanks, Joe - Piscataway, NJ)

In the Dark Side of the Rainbow theory (that Dark Side of the Moon acts as a soundtrack to The Wizard Of Oz), the line, "And who knows which is which and who is who," occurs after the Wicked Witch of the West appears and she is first seen with Dorothy and Glinda, the good witch on the opposite side of the screen. (thanks, Adrian - Brookings, SD)

When this was recorded, Rick Wright played the song's jazz-influenced grand piano to what he thought was the rest of the band playing in the next studio. In fact they weren't present and it was a recording made earlier. What started as a prank became, according to Alan Parsons in Mojo magazine, "one of the best things Rick ever did."

Headphones Lyrics

Headphones Song Chart

The Canadian rock supergroup, Mounties, consists of Hawksley Workman , Steve Bays from Hot Hot Heat and Ryan Dahle from Limblifter. Workman had approached Bays and Dahle in 2009 about starting a band together while attending the JUNO Awards. The formation of Mounties took a few years for it to actually happen, though, and was not announced until 2013 with the unveiling of their first single, "Headphones." The trio released their debut album, Thrash Rock Legacy, soon after in March of 2014.

In our interview with Mounties drummer and singer, Hawksley Workman, he revealed how the unique writing process for this side project has renewed his love for music. The writing sessions for Mounties usually take place late at night after drinking some wine. They turned into jam sessions with the band improvising lyrics straight off of the floor. It becomes a healthy competition between the three of them about who will write the guiding lyric for the song. Workman explained: "I'm not f--king around with those guys when I'm in the studio. To me, if I'm not blowing their minds, then what am I doing?"

"Headphones" started with Ryan Dahle's outlandish guitar part. The drumbeat was something that has possibly never been heard on Canadian radio before so there was an innovative feel from the rhythm side. The lyrics were inspired by Steve Bays' love of antiquing. The band was at one of Bays' favorite antique shops when the dealer was trying to get him to buy a hi-fi unit. When Bays was in the studio after, he just threw his headphones on and sang the opening line of the tune:

"I got my headphones on like a '70s hi-fi"

Workman explained how the rest of the track formed in our interview, stating: "And then I came up with the second verse, the sideways Mohawk or whatever. It was just so obvious that there was a song there and as soon as Steve sang that, I think the song kind of wrote itself."

Time Lyrics

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is Time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again.
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone, the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say.

Home
Home again
I like to be here
When I can

When I come home
Cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones
Beside the fire

Far away
Across the field
Tolling on the iron bell
Calls the faithful to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell

Time Song Chart

This song is about how time can slip by, but many people do not realize it until it is too late. Roger Waters got the idea when he realized he was no longer preparing for anything in life, but was right in the middle of it. He had just turned 28.

When the band came up with the concept for the album, the idea was to explore the pressures of life throughout the songs. This song takes on the topic of mortality.

The song starts with layers of clock noises that were put together by their engineer, Alan Parsons. Each clock was recorded separately at an antiques store, and the band blended them together. Parsons wanted to use the clocks to demonstrate a new quadraphonic sound system, but they ended up using it to open the song instead. (thanks, Joe - Piscataway, NJ)

This was the only song on Dark Side of the Moon on which all four members received a writing credit.

The Dark Side of the Moon album has sold over 34 million copies and was on the US charts for 741 consecutive weeks (14 years). It entered the charts in March 1973, and didn't leave until October 1988. Even after it fell off, it continued to sell thousands of copies every week.

On their 1973 tour, Pink Floyd played this just after a 4-foot model plane was released from the back of the venue, crashing into the stage and exploding. Floyd always used lots of visual effects at their shows, and had the money to make them very elaborate on this tour.

The band played this live long before it was released. They played the whole album in February 1972 at the Rainbow Theater in London, over a year before it came out.

This contains a reprise back to the rhythm of "Breathe," which appears two songs earlier on Dark Side of the Moon. "On The Run," an instrumental, is in between. (thanks, Matt - Russell Springs, KY)

At the time of recording only a few tom-tom drums were available for the intro. To get the right mix and sound, the band had to tune each drum after hitting it, record it, and then blend and mix into a finalized percussion track. This was a time intensive process.

In 1998, Dark Side of the Moon was certified 15x Platinum, meaning it had sold more than 15,000,000 copies. In 2003, the album was re-released on vinyl and has sold steadily in that format. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Have You Seen My Son Song Chart

This song is about the disappointment Booker's strictly conservative parents felt regarding their son pursuing a career as a musician. He recalled to Noisey : "I went to go visit my cousin in the hospital who ended up dying. He was just a kid. And we went on this car ride afterward.

That kind of stuff makes you think about your relationship with other people, and we just got into this huge, five-hour-car-ride-long fight with [my mom]. I was doing the music thing, and they just completely don't understand, like 'why do you want to play guitar?'

It was just the day that I realized that they were always going to be a little disappointed in me. They still, you know, they love me and I love them but they're always going to be a little unhappy."

Fortress Around Your Heart Lyrics

Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light.
No flags of truce, no cries of pity;
The siege guns had been pounding through the night.
It took a day to build the city.
We walked through its streets in the afternoon.
As I returned across the fields I'd known,
I recognized the walls that I once made.
Had to stop in my tracks for fear of walking on the mines I'd laid.

And if I've built this Fortress Around Your Heart,
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire,
Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm,
And let me set the battlements on fire.

Then I went off the fight some battle that I'd invented inside my head.
Away so long for years and years,
You probably thought or even wished that I was dead.
While the armies are all sleeping beneath the tattered flag we'd made.
I had to stop in my tracks for fear of walking on the mines I'd laid.

And if I've built this fortress around your heart,
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire,
Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm,
And let me set the battlements on fire.

This prison has now become your home,
A sentence you seem prepared to pay.
It took a day to build the city.
We walked through its streets in the afternoon.
As I returned across the fields I'd known,
I recognized the walls that I once made.
Had to stop in my tracks for fear of walking on the mines I'd laid.

And if I've built this fortress around your heart,
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire,
Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm,
And let me set the battlements on fire.

Fortress Around Your Heart Song Chart

Sting calls this a "song of reconciliation." It uses an abandoned fortress within a walled city as a metaphor for a relationship that has been through a figurative war, with Sting now ready to put the battles behind him and build a new alliance based on what they had - he sings of building a bridge and setting the battlements on fire. It won't be easy, since he has to cross the field where he once planted mines.

Inspiration came from Sting's divorce from his first wife, Frances Tomelty (the couple were married from 1976-1984). The pain he felt when he couldn't make this marriage work led him to write some of his biggest hits, including "Every Breath You Take" and "King Of Pain."

The Dream Of The Blue Turtles album was recorded in Barbados at a studio owned by the musician Eddy Grant. It was Sting's first solo album, and quite a departure from his work with The Police. He hired some of America's best young jazz musicians to play on it and join him for the tour: Omar Hakim on drums, Kenny Kirkland on keyboards, Darryl Jones on bass and Branford Marsalis on saxophone.

On this track, however, Sting played the bass himself; he worked up the arrangement in the studio and when he put down the bass part as a demo for Jones, he realized what he had done was perfect.

"Fortress Around Your Heart" was closer to the Police sound than most of the other, more jazz-inflected tracks on the album, and was released as the second single, following "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free." American program directors were happy to add the song to their playlists, as Sting was on fire: his last album with The Police, Synchronicity, produced four Top 20 hits, and he could heard on the current Dire Straits #1 "Money For Nothing."

Sting hired the director Michael Apted to document the first stretch of the Dream Of The Blue Turtles tour, resulting in the concert film Bring On The Night. By documenting his first tour, Sting flipped the convention of filming a band's farewell concert - he liked the idea of recording the beginning of his solo career.

Apted masterminded a practical joke during one of Sting's Paris concerts he was filming: he commissioned a two-foot fortress with an aluminum foil heart inside that was to descend to the stage when Sting performed this song. The bit was inspired by a scene in the 1984 film This Is Spinal Tap where the band gets a miniature version of Stonehenge because of a measurement error, and uses it as a stage prop. The band and crew had been watching the movie when they recorded the album in Barbados, and were keen on pulling off the gag.

Fortunately, Sting never looked up to see the mini-fortress, and when it was lowered to the stage during the second chorus, it took him by surprise. Sting, however, showed no reaction, remaining earnest and focused on his performance. Without a suitable reaction shot from the star, the footage was deemed unsuitable for the film.

The music video was directed by Mick Haggerty, whose credits include the Go-Go's videos for "Vacation" and "Our Lips Are Sealed." The clip did well on VH1, which launched on January 1, 1985.

Sting was inspired by this song's "strange, modal" chords. He said on All This Time: "They sounded kind of medieval actually and so I got into a whole line of thinking about medieval sieges, castle walls, siege guns, armies sleeping under tattered flags and thought it was a nice metaphor for love gone wrong. Armies fighting each other, relationships having collapsed and gone from bad to worse, and what starts as love ends in war."

Sting says this song is connected to "Wrapped Around Your Finger," from The Police's Synchronicity album. He told Musician in 1985: "It is linked to 'Wrapped'. 'Wrapped' was a spiteful song about turning the tables on someone who had been in charge. 'Fortress,' on the other hand, is about appeasement, about trying to bridge the gaps between individuals."

This song doesn't have a bridge but, Sting says, "I suppose that's symbolic itself, saying there is no bridge between these relationships."

Autumn Leaves Lyrics

Under the ruins of a walled city
Crumbling towers in beams of yellow light.
No flags of truce, no cries of pity;
The siege guns had been pounding through the night.

We walked through its streets in the afternoon.
As I returned across the fields I'd known,
I recognized the walls that I once made.
Had to stop in my tracks for fear of walking on the mines I'd laid.

And if I've built this fortress around your heart,
Encircled you in trenches and barbed wire,
Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm,
And let me set the battlements on fire.

Then I went off the fight some battle that I'd invented inside my head.

Autumn Leaves Song Chart

This smooth, reflective cut finds Brown opening up about a difficult relationship behind producer BAM's echoing soundscapes. Brown explained the intended metaphor in the title to MTV News. "It's basically saying [that] you put in so much to get so little," he said. "Whether it be in relationships or just in life, you work hard for something all the time and get so little, but you still hold on, like the last leaf in autumn."

Kendrick Lamar jumps in halfway through to close the track with some rhymes of resilience. "I think people automatically assumed [that] with me and Kendrick Lamar, if we actually collaborated, it's gonna be a club joint, but for me, I always like to change and switch the envelope," he noted.

Brown added this is something he's always tried to do when working with rappers. "Even when I did Juelz Santana on 'Run It!,' at that time, real hard-core [rap music] wasn't really fusing with R&B like that. I try to change it up as much as possible. It's what I love to do."

Directed by Colin Tilley (Enrique Iglesias, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake), the song's music video was shot in Hawaii. The Japanese-inspired clip features Chris Brown as a forlorn Samurai roaming tropical feudal scenery. We see him pursuing the affection of a beautiful geisha, who is played by Breezy's on-and-off girlfriend Karrueche Tran.

Kendrick Lamar doesn't appear in the video. Instead, we see Brown lip sync along to his verse.

Fields of Gold Lyrics

Somebody screaming on Jim Jeffries' dreams
Explode into a black fist
He falls to the floor
He stares up at the sky
And he may wish he knew why
But you can't go back there no more

The future sounds so crazy
We all heard that song before
Tomorrow's a name that changed from yesterday to blame
When a train just don't stop here anymore
I got starry eyed
On a coaster ride
Andy said, "Man, I need a break from the world outside"

And these days my life just careens
Through a pinball machine
I could do so much better
But I can't get off the tilt
And there's a photograph on a TV, black and white
And Andy says something to you
Jack Johnson straddling Reno, Nevada like
She says I could get myself sometimes, too

But out past the doorways
Where we are sleeping
Well, the white queen's creeping
The time cat's beeping

Now I'm not breaking
The train's just shaking
I never made it here before
And there's a wide mouth spinning the girls around
Till they can't take it any more
I used to dream in the dark, in Palisades Park
Up over the cliffs and down among the spark
It's a long life
Been a long night
But it's not what I was waiting for
Everybody's seen the horses diving down the shore
It's a miracle they don't make them anymore

So make up ladies
Wake up baby
You walked into the bar like some Saturday star
Studs straight on spiked heels and needles and nerves
And you're a downtown pride, fully amplified Clyde
Gin-tied and Asian, but well preserved
Remember Annie outside your bedroom window
Saying, "Come on, let's drive across to the Palisades"
Keep going till we hit Reno, Nevada
I don't see it all that much these days

Still there are pages in back of the action stacks
Where the white queen's creeping
The time cat's beeping

The train's not breaking
The track's just shaking
I never made it here before
And there's a sky rocket turning the world around
Still I can't take it any more
And you can carry that spark from Palisades Park
Down over the cliffs and out into the dark
It's a long life
For a long night
But it's not what I was looking for
Everybody dreams of horses flying 'round the shore
It's a bad dream we're not having anymore

Man, have you seen Andy?
Hey man, hey man
Have you seen him around?
Hey man, have you seen my Andy?
Hey man, have you seen him have you seen her have you seen him have you seen her
Have you seen Andy around?

Dressed up in a pirate vest
All leathers and feathers and pearls
Andy said, "Look at me, man, I'm cooking
These hands are gonna figure out this whole world"
He said, "Come outside
Climb out your bedroom window
Shimmy down the fire escape
And say goodbye
Come outside"
Andy says, "I'm dressed up just like Edie
Changing all the time
My leopard spots to polka dots
Say goodbye
Come outside
Where maybe we can move to California
Just meet me at the subway
And say goodbye
Come outside
The cops all think we're crazy
If you steal, just get married
To a girl who'll never know you
And then say goodbye"

Hey man, have you seen Andy?
I lost her in the cirque
I was high as a kite
On a lovely and white
Man, you can lose anyone
Hey hey man, have you seen Andy?
I don't know where she's gone
Real love outlives teenage lust
We could get wet and it keeps us warm
Love is like angel dust
Lovely sometimes changes us

Sometimes we're not
Have you been aching with trust or just
Have you been waking yourself with lust
Have you been making us up or just
Taking us home

It's a long wait
And a long life
Cars frozen in flight
All the traffic stops to stare
At a crosswalk in Reno, Nevada
Where nothing but air
And a pair of gray paper wings
Andy thinks, "I have got nothing to wear"
We got nothing to wear
We got nothing to wear
We got nothing to wear
We got nothing to wear

Fields of Gold Song Chart

This epic tune clocks in at over eight minutes and was started by Adam Duritz in the early 2010s before being completed in a single sitting. He told us the story of the song in a 2013 interview: "I started writing it about two or three years ago. It was a piece of music that I was thinking about using for the play, which is why it was named 'Palisades Park' for no particular reason. Because it had to do with the play, a setting in the play. There were no words to it, but I had about five minutes of me playing and singing kind of nonsense words, going through all the different changes."

"I pulled it out and I really loved it. I finally sat down and really worked at writing the whole thing. It took me a while - it took me a week and a half, and the guys were here. I really love it. It's my best piece of music I've written - it's beautiful."

"It's really long. It's more like a 'Round Here' kind of song. It's a long song with different sections to it. It reminds me of the sort of stuff we do live, but on a record."

Somewhere Under Wonderland producer Brian Deck played the glockenspiel on the track. Deck is based at Engine Studios in Chicago and has worked with such bands as Modest Mouse, Iron & Wine, Fruit Bats and Gomez.

Duritz explained the song's meaning to Teamrock.com : "I was 27 the first time anyone from a record company even looked at a band I was in, and 28 when I got signed," he recalled. "The ten years before that that were really terrifying. But I was also having rich experience in my twenties, and Palisades Park celebrates that – being on the fringes, wanting to try on the wrong sex's clothing, and wanting to try PCP, which is a bad idea. But it's about that experimentation."

I never made it here before
And there's a sky rocket turning the world around
Still I can't take it any more
And you can carry that spark from Palisades Park
Down over the cliffs and out into the dark
It's a long life
For a long night
But it's not what I was looking for
Everybody dreams of horses flying 'round the shore
It's a bad dream we're not having anymore

Man, have you seen Andy?
Hey man, hey man
Have you seen him around?
Hey man, have you seen my Andy?
Hey man, have you seen him have you seen her have you seen him have you seen her
Have you seen Andy around?

Dressed up in a pirate vest
All leathers and feathers and pearls
Andy said, "Look at me, man, I'm cooking
These hands are gonna figure out this whole world"
He said, "Come outside
Climb out your bedroom window
Shimmy down the fire escape
And say goodbye
Come outside"
Andy says, "I'm dressed up just like Edie
Changing all the time
My leopard spots to polka dots
Say goodbye
Come outside
Where maybe we can move to California
Just meet me at the subway
And say goodbye
Come outside
The cops all think we're crazy
If you steal, just get married
To a girl who'll never know you
And then say goodbye"

Hey man, have you seen Andy?
I lost her in the cirque
I was high as a kite
On a lovely and white
Man, you can lose anyone
Hey hey man, have you seen Andy?
I don't know where she's gone
Real love outlives teenage lust
We could get wet and it keeps us warm
Love is like angel dust
Lovely sometimes changes us

Sometimes we're not
Have you been aching with trust or just
Have you been waking yourself with lust
Have you been making us up or just
Taking us home

It's a long wait
And a long life
Cars frozen in flight
All the traffic stops to stare
At a crosswalk in Reno, Nevada
Where nothing but air
And a pair of gray paper wings
Andy thinks, "I have got nothing to wear"
We got nothing to wear
We got nothing to wear
We got nothing to wear
We got nothing to wear

Palisades Park Song Chart

This epic tune clocks in at over eight minutes and was started by Adam Duritz in the early 2010s before being completed in a single sitting. He told us the story of the song in a 2013 interview: "I started writing it about two or three years ago. It was a piece of music that I was thinking about using for the play, which is why it was named 'Palisades Park' for no particular reason. Because it had to do with the play, a setting in the play. There were no words to it, but I had about five minutes of me playing and singing kind of nonsense words, going through all the different changes."

"I pulled it out and I really loved it. I finally sat down and really worked at writing the whole thing. It took me a while - it took me a week and a half, and the guys were here. I really love it. It's my best piece of music I've written - it's beautiful."

"It's really long. It's more like a 'Round Here' kind of song. It's a long song with different sections to it. It reminds me of the sort of stuff we do live, but on a record."

Somewhere Under Wonderland producer Brian Deck played the glockenspiel on the track. Deck is based at Engine Studios in Chicago and has worked with such bands as Modest Mouse, Iron & Wine, Fruit Bats and Gomez.

Duritz explained the song's meaning to Teamrock.com : "I was 27 the first time anyone from a record company even looked at a band I was in, and 28 when I got signed," he recalled. "The ten years before that that were really terrifying. But I was also having rich experience in my twenties, and Palisades Park celebrates that – being on the fringes, wanting to try on the wrong sex's clothing, and wanting to try PCP, which is a bad idea. But it's about that experimentation."

Head Underwater Song Chart

Between the Stars marks Flyleaf's first album to feature Kristen May on vocals, replacing the group's original singer Lacey Sturm. This song was inspired by some of the less friendly messages sent to the new frontwoman. In our interview with May , she said that writing this song helped her stand strong against the online hatred. "I knew when I joined this band that there would be a certain level of people judging me," she said. "They're used to a previous singer, and how is this going to be with this new singer? And so I knew pretty quickly that I would have to be strong in who I am and feel very confident in that and not let these words I hear carry me down."

One Sweet World Lyrics

Nine planets round the sun
Only one does the sun embrace
Upon this watered one
So much to we take for granted

So let us sleep outside tonight
Lay down in the mother's arms
For here we can rest safely

If green should slip to grey
Would our hearts still bloody beat
If the mountains crumble away
And the river dry
Would it stop the stepping feet

Take all that we can get
When it's done
Nobody left to bury
Nobody left to dig the holes
And here we will rest safely

One Sweet World
Around this star is spinning
One sweet world
In her breath I'm swimming
And here we will rest in peace.

In 2002, Ben and Jerry's created a Dave Matthews Band inspired ice cream called "One Sweet Whirled" as a tribute to this song. It is a combination of coffee ice cream, caramel, and marshmallow swirls. Ben and Jerry's and Dave Matthews Band both support socially responsible causes, and some proceeds from "One Sweet Whirled" go to the organization Save Our Environment.

Jerry Garcia and Phish are the only other musicians to have flavors of Ben and Jerry's named after them - Cherry Garcia and Phish Food.
