End Up Here Lyrics

You walked in
Everyone was asking for your name
You just smiled and told them "Trouble"

My head spins
I'm pressed against the wall
Just watching your every move
You're way too cool
And you're coming this way
Coming this way

How did we end up talking in the first place?
You said you liked my Cobain shirt
Now we're walking back to your place
You're telling me how you love that song
About living on a prayer
I'm pretty sure that we're halfway there
And when I wake up next to you I wonder how
How did we End Up Here?

(How did we end up,
How did we end up here?)

Next day out
Everybody thought you were so insane
'Cause you were so far out of my league

My friends say I should lock you down
Before you figure me out and you run away
But you don't and you won't as you kiss me
And you tell me that you're here to stay

How did we end up talking in the first place?
You said you liked my Cobain shirt
Now we're walking back to your place
You're telling me how you love that song
About living on a prayer
I'm pretty sure that we're halfway there
And when I wake up next to you I wonder how
How did we end up here?

Call me lucky 'cause in the end
I'm a six and she's a ten
She's so fit, I'm insecure
But she keeps coming back for more

How did we end up talking in the first place?
You said you liked my Cobain shirt
Now we're walking back to your place
You're telling me how you love that song
About living on a prayer
I'm pretty sure that we're halfway there
And when I wake up next to you I wonder how
How did we end up here?

How did we end up,
How did we end up here?

How did we end up,
How did we end up here?

End Up Here

This rollicking punk-popper was penned by 5SOS's Michael and Ashton along with All Time Low vocalist Alex Gaskarth and producer John Feldmann, who co-wrote "Heroes" for All Time Low's 2011 Dirty Work album.

All Time Low is one of a trio of influences named on 5 Seconds of Summer's official Facebook page, and Alex Gaskarth also co-wrote "Kiss Me Kiss Me" and "Long Way Home" for their debut album.

Luke sings on the chorus:

How did we end up talking in the first place?
You said you liked my Cobain shirt

Having previously sung of admiring American Apparel underwear on a girl in "She Looks So Perfect," Luke now sings of a female attracted to his shirt, which pays tribute to the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.

This song was designed to be a live crowd-pleaser. "We wanted to write something uptempo that gets the crowd jumping," 5SOS drummer Ashton Irwin explained. "We wanted a song that lifts the crowd. We always think about tempos that will make the crowd go crazy - we want a party atmosphere at our shows."

Georgia On My Mind Lyrics

Georgia, Georgia,
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia On My Mind

I said Georgia
Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

I said Georgia,
Ooh Georgia, no peace I find
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you

Georgia,
Georgia,
No peace, no peace I find
Just this old, sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

I said just an old sweet song,
Keeps Georgia on my mind

Georgia On My Mind

This was written by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell in 1930. Carmichael was an actor, performer, and popular songwriter - some of his other compositions include "Stardust" and "Winter Moon." Gorrell was a banker living in New York City, and he wrote the lyrics.

It's possible that this was written about a woman, not the state. Carmichael and Gorrell didn't live in Georgia, but Carmichael did have a sister named Georgia.

This was a #10 hit for a Jazz saxophone player named Frankie Trumbauer in 1931. Many artists have recorded it over the years, including Louis Armstrong, James Brown (a Georgia native), Django Reinhardt, and Willie Nelson. Charles' version is by far the most famous.

Charles decided to record this after his driver suggested it, since Ray kept singing it while riding in the car.

Ray Charles was born in Georgia. His family moved to Florida when he was still a baby.

The orchestra was arranged by Ralph Burns, Woody Herman's pianist.

This was recorded quickly in New York City - it took only four takes to complete (compared to Charles' usual 10-12 takes).

This won Grammy awards for Best Male Vocal Recording and Best Pop Song Performance. The album also won for Best Male Vocal Performance Album, and another song on the album, "Let the Good Times Roll," won for Best R&B Performance, giving Charles a total of 4 Grammys in 1960.

Five different versions of this song have made the US Hot 100. Here the four that came after Charles' recording:

Righteous Brothers (#62, 1966)
Georgia Pines Candymen (#81, 1967)
Wes Montgomery (#91, 1968)
Willie Nelson (#84, 1978)
Michael Bolton (#36, 1990)

This was the first of three #1 records for Ray Charles ("Hit the Road, Jack" and "I Can't Stop Loving You" are his others).

In 1979, this became the official state song of Georgia.

Willie Nelson sang this at Charles' funeral in 2004.

Charles won eight awards at the 2005 Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year and Album of the Year (for Genius Loves Company). He was honored throughout the show; Alicia Keys and Jamie Foxx performed this as part of the tribute. Foxx had recently portrayed Charles in the movie Ray.

Turning To Stone Lyrics

Leave me bleeding, leave me dying on my own
Leave me wanting, climb your way into my soul
I don't like it, I can't live without a trace
I can't hide it, I can't take away its face

I don't know my name
I've turned against my home
I don't know who to blame
I'm turning into stone, Turning To Stone

You can't hear me, you can't see me in your space
You don't believe in me, even when you kneel and pray
Since I found you, I've been wanting you so bad
I'm all around you, willing to take those things I never had

I don't know my name
I've turned against my home
I don't know who to blame
I'm turning into stone

I don't know my name
I've turned against my home
I don't know who to blame
I'm turning into stone, turning to stone

Turning To Stone

Godsmack drummer Shannon Larkin and guitarist Tony Rombola originally wrote this song down at their Florida HQ, before frontman Sully Erna added some finishing touches. Larkin recalled to Artist Direct : "When Sully came down here, I was playing the drum beat I had off a ride cymbal. He was like, 'Dude, I want to create space.' He wrote the drum beat that ended up being the verse to that. It's really tribal. He's very good at the hand drums and tribal sounds. He heard this beat, and I thought, 'Oh my God, I never would've thought of that.'"

"After we played it a bunch of times at pre-production up in Boston, it came together," Larkin continued. "It created a lot of space. It's different. It has a 'Voodoo' vibe to it. Shout out to my boy Sully Erna! He took a song Tony and I had written, put his stamp on it, and made it sound like this cool, dark Godsmack song."

Mandy Lyrics

I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
A shadow of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into

Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
How happy you made me, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Will you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

I'm standing on the edge of time
I walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my eyes
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Will you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

Yesterday's a dream
I face the morning
Crying on the breeze
The pain is calling, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Will you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

You came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
You kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

Mandy

Scott English wrote the lyrics and recorded this song in 1971 as "Brandy." His version was a hit in the UK. In the US, this was changed to "Mandy" to avoid confusion with the Looking Glass hit "Brandy (You're A Fine Girl)."

Richard Kerr wrote the music. Kerr is a pianist who teamed up with Will Jennings to write two more hits for Manilow: "Looks Like We Made It" and "Somewhere In The Night."

This was Manilow's first hit single and the first song on Clive Davis' Arista Records label (formerly Bell) to hit the Billboard Hot 100. (thanks, Todd - Atlanta, GA, for above 3)

The bit about "Mandy" being about Manilow's dog is an urban myth. Songwriter and original performer Scott English says he was woken by a phone call from a reporter, wanting to know who "Brandy" was. "I would have said anything to get rid of him," says English, "So I spat out the first thing that came to mind: It was about a dog like Lassie and I had sent her away - now you go away!' And I hung up on him." (thanks, Judy - Melbourne, Australia)

The Simpsons parodied this in the episode in which Homer feels torn between his attractive new co-worker (Mindy) and his own wife. They were in a hotel room together, and a turkey slips behind the bed. Later, when Homer brings Marge to the room, he starts singing to her, "Oh, Margie, you came and you found me a turkey." (thanks, Sarah - St. Petersburg, FL)

The song was on an episode of Family Guy titled "Back to the Woods." Barry Manilow comes to Quahog, but not without a little bit of criticism from Peter and his friends, until all admit they are closet Manilow fans. In the episode, Barry plays himself and sings his own version of "Mandy," re-titled as "Quagmire" for having an exotic name. The words are the same, but the name has changed. (thanks, Logan - Troy, MT)

She's Not Me Lyrics

I used to think you could save me,
I've been wandering lately
Heard she's having your baby,
And everything's so amazing
It goes on and on and on and on,
It goes on and on and on and on

But She's Not Me, she's easy

All those times we were making love,
I never thought we'd be breaking up
Bet you tell her I'm crazy
It goes on and on and on and on,
It goes on and on and on and on

But she's not me, she's easy

Remember the night I destroyed it all
When I told you I cheated,
And you punched through the drywall
I took you for granted
When you were all that I needed!

But she's not me, she's easy
She's not me, she's not me
She's easy, she's easy
She's not me, she's not me

She's Not Me

This song, which finds Lewis touching upon jealousy and infidelity, was inspired by Keith Richards' 2010 memoir, Life. She told Billboard magazine: "I was reading Keith's book, and I thought I'd tinker with his open-tuning style."

This was produced by Ryan Adams after Lewis direct-messaged the alternative rocker on Twitter asking help with this song. Adams ended up producing the majority of The Voyager album.

Asked by HMV.com what Adams was like as a producer, Lewis replied: "He's a lot more like Phil Spector than not. He's eccentric in the studio, you have to bend to his rule, there's no room for you to be late or slack off, Ryan has so much energy and so much drive."

"His methods are difficult to understand at first, but by the end you're like 'This guy is an amazing producer,'" she added. "He would wind me up, but always to make sure he got a good performance out of me."

Jenny Lewis recruited her famous friends Zosia Mamet, Fred Armisen, Vanessa Bayer, Leo Fitzpatrick and Feist for the song's music video. Lewis and her pals recreate some of the former Rilo Kiley singer's parts back in the days when she was a child actress, including Golden Girls and Troop Beverly Hills. "The video is about former identities and incarnations of one's self," Lewis told Buzzfeed . "It's a super meta retrospective on my career."

Mother

Lennon wrote this while he was undergoing "Primal Scream" therapy, where he was dealing with a lot of issues that were detailed in the lyrics: He lost his mother at a crucial period in his life to a drunk-driving, off-duty policeman who ran her over in a crosswalk, and his aunt Mimi raised him, which explains the line, "Mother you had me, but I never had you." His father, a merchant seaman, left him for the sea and for work. "I wanted you, you didn't need me" explains his feelings about his dad. Lennon's primal screaming on this song expresses the pain of his childhood. (thanks, Bob - Boston, MA)

The church bell heard at the start of this track was actually faster and higher-pitched initially, and John actually slowed it down to make it sound spookier and more haunting. His intention was to sound the death knell for his old life with The Beatles.(thanks, Noel - Barrow-In-Furness, England)

This features Klaus Voormann on bass and Ringo Starr on drums. In addition to his work in music, Voorman is an artist, and designed the cover of The Beatles album Revolver. He also played bass with Manfred Mann. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

On many of his early solo recordings such as this one, Lennon's arrangements are more simpler and sparser than on the Beatles songs. In the January 1971 edition of Rolling Stone, he explained this was because, "I've always liked simple rock." The former Beatle added: "I was influenced by acid and got psychedelic, like the whole generation, but really, I like rock and roll and I express myself best in rock. I had a few ideas to do this with 'Mother' and that with 'Mother' but when you just hear, the piano does it all for you, your mind can do the rest. I think the backings on mine are as complicated as the backings on any record you've ever heard, if you've got an ear.

Anybody knows that. Any musician will tell you, just play a note on a piano, it's got harmonics in it. It got to that. What the hell, I didn't need anything else."

Producer John Leckie explained to Uncut magazine August 2010 that the screams heard on this track were actually edited into the song once the rest of the vocal had been recorded. Lennon would attempt the screaming finale every night, careful never to try it in the daytime in case it destroyed his voice. "The screams were double-tracked," Leckie pointed out. "John didn't like the raw sound of his own voice. He always wanted lots of stuff on it. Spector's contribution, really, was to be generous with reverb and echo."

This is one of three songs which Lennon wrote for his mother, along with "Julia" and "My Mummy's Dead".

The psychologist Arthur Janov created primal scream therapy, which he detailed in his book The Primal Scream. Folks were always sending Lennon books, and a copy of Janov's book found him. Lennon was intrigued because the therapy reminded him of the screaming Yoko would often do in her works, but then he looked into it as a way of helping him resolve issues from his childhood. John and Yoko invited Janov to England, where they met with him to vet his practice. They liked what they heard and decided to try some sessions when they went to Los Angeles. For Lennon, it was a breakthrough, and led to this song.

"It's just a matter of breaking the wall that's there in yourself and come out and let it all hang out to the point that you start crying," Yoko said in describing the therapy (Uncut, 1998). She added: "He was going back to the days of when he wanted to scream, 'Mother.' He was able to go back to that childhood, that memory."

And it's burning my heart

And my number, and it ain't gonna stop
Hold me, love me

Breathe me, tease me
Can't control how I feel when you're near me
I can't do nothing about it
Got that feeling comin' over me
(Sex, sex, sex)
Girl, love is the only remedy
(Sex, sex, sex)

I can't contain my desire
And I'm coming apart
I'm just a slave for your pleasure and I'm waiting to pop
Hold me, love me
Call my name
I just want you to feel me
Breathe me, tease me
Can't control how I feel when you're near me
I can't do nothing about it
Got that feeling comin' over me

Sex

This single from Lenny Kravitz' Strut album finds him out of control with his feelings for a girl. "This is one of my favorite tracks on the album," he told Billboard magazine. "It was recorded with minimal instrumentation, guitar, bass and drums. The strength of the groove comes from the sparse production which creates space."

The song's music video was directed by Dikayl Rimmasch, who is a filmmaker and photographer based in New York. His resume includes a three-part film series starring Beyoncé and Jay Z for the couple's On the Run tour. Kravitz said of the clip; "I love the Fellini-esque vibe of the video. When I heard the concept, I knew that Dikayl was out of his mind; and that was the attraction."

Rimmasch added: "I couldn't think of anything more surreal. It made me laugh. Lenny went for it. The shoot was chaotic. The day after I walked to the beach with a hangover, laid in the sand, and thought - 'what have I done?'"

Come Softly To Me

Originally "Come Softly," the title of this song was changed because Dolphin (later Dolton) Records owner Bob Reisdorff feared that AM radio DJs would think it to be too suggestive. He was being extra-cautious, Dolphin Records was formed by the Seattle DJ for the sole purpose of distributing Fleetwoods records.

This song started when Fleetwoods members Gary Troxel and Gretchen Christopher were waiting for a lift home from high school by her mother. Troxel started humming "Dum dum, domby doo wha..." and Gretchen noticed that it was the same chord progression that she used in a song that she had just finished writing, "Come Softly." She asked him to slow his tempo, then sang her song atop Troxel's humming. They took it to Gretchen's singing partner Barbara Ellis, who liked it, and the trio formed Two Girls and a Guy.

Two Girls and a Guy performed this live twice - at a senior class assembly and at a post-football game dance. Classmates wanted copies of the song so they could learn it.

It took six months for the trio to record it. Ultimately, they sang it a capella, then instrumentation was overdubbed (a reversal of the usual production technique of overdubbing vocal atop an instrumental bed).

There are no drums in the recording -- the only percussion was that of Troxel shaking his car keys in his closed hands.

Originally Troxel's part didn't have any lyrics -- they were written in the studio.

Bob Reisdorff suggested that the trio change their name to a more "commercial" one. Since all three of the teenagers had the same telephone exchange -- FLeetwood -- they accepted Reisdorff's idea of calling themselves the Fleetwoods. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for all above)

Blueberry Hill Lyrics

I found my thrill
On Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill
When I found you

The moon stood still
On Blueberry Hill
And lingered until
My dream came true

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be

Though we're apart
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On Blueberry Hill

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be

Though we're apart
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On Blueberry Hill

Blueberry Hill

This was written by Vincent Rose, Al Lewis and Larry Stock for the 1940 Western The Singing Hill before they decided it was good enough to be released commercially. The song was used in the movie, where it was heard for the first time performed by Gene Autry.

Larry Stock, who wrote the lyrics, recalls that "One important publisher turned down Blueberry Hill, because, he claimed, blueberries don't grow on hills. I assured him I had picked them on hills as a boy, but nothing doing. So Chappell And Company bought the song and another hit was born." (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada, for above 2)

Fats recorded this in LA, at a session in which he ran out of material to tape. Domino insisted on recording the song over the vehement objections of producer-arranger Dave Bartholomew, and then forgot the lyrics while he was recording the song. The engineer pieced together the final version from many fragmentary takes.

In 1940, this was a #2 hit for Glenn Miller. In 1956, Louis Armstrong took it to #29 with the assistance of Gordon Jenkins and his orchestra (with a recording that was originally released in 1949). It has also been covered by Elvis Presley, The Beach Boys, Andy Williams, Kiki, Cliff Richard, Bruce Cockburn, and others.

Domino's real name is Antoine Domino. This is his biggest hit and best seller.

In the TV series Happy Days , Ritchie Cunningham (played by Ron Howard), sings this whenever he has found a date. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for above 4)

Ray Manzarek of The Doors admitted on his BBC Radio 2 program that the baseline to "Light My Fire" was based on this song.

Domino Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin performed this song on December 10, 2010 at a charity event in front of an audience of international film and television celebrities. Videos of his performance quickly went viral worldwide. Putin's spokesman said the former KGB chief learned the lyrics to the song as part of his English language studies.

The light you gave the human race will go away…

I see you every time that I close my eyes
I Hum every lullaby that you used to sing
You never know the last time you’ll see someone
So give them all of your love
Cause they’ll disappear

When you leave this life the world will be a darker place for
All Who Remain
When you leave this life the world will be a darker place for
All Who Remain
And the light you gave the human race will go away...

If I can’t have you in this life
Then I don’t want this life at all
Cause there’s nothing in this broken world
That I’ll ever ever love as much

I called and I called you never picked up
I cried and I cried but you never woke up
You died and died without asking me first
You left me all alone here on Earth

When you leave this life the world will be a darker place for
All Who Remain
When you leave this life the world will be a darker place for
All Who Remain
When you leave this life the world will be a darker place for
All Who Remain

All Who Remain

Beware of Darkness is the Los Angeles-based trio of lead singer Kyle Nicolaides, bass player Daniel Curcio and drummer Tony Cupito. Nicolaides wrote this song's lyric, which he told us is about "losing your favorite person on the planet." When we pressed him for details, he declined: "That's all I can say about it."

Nicolaides was clearly going through a rough patch and working out his emotion in the song, where he sings: "If I can't have you in this life then I don't want this life at all."

Nicolaides wrote this song with John 5, a guitarist who has played in Marilyn Manson's band and with Rob Zombie.

Kyle Nicolaides keeps journals, which is where a lot of his song ideas come from. A key line in this song, "When you leave this life, the world will be a darker place," is something he wrote down in a journal months before he wrote this track. He discovered it when he went back to look at the journal, and decided to incorporate it into this song.

A Thousand Miles Away Lyrics

You're A Thousand Miles Away-ay
Bu-you-t I still have your love to remember you by
Oh, my dar-are-are-arling, dry your eyes
Daddy's coming home soon

On my knees every day-ay
All I do is pray, baby, just for you
Hope you a-a-a-always want me too
Daddy's coming home soon

It may be on a Sunday morning
It may be on a Tuesday afternoon
But no matter what the day is
I'm going to make it my business to get home soon

You're (a thousand miles away)
Bu-you-ut I still have your love to remember you by
Oh, my dar-are-are-arling, dry your eyes
Daddy's coming ho-ome so-oo-on

A Thousand Miles Away

The Heartbeats started out as The Hearts but changed their name in 1955. The members were Robbie Tatum, Wally Roker, Vernon Sievers, Albert Crump and James Sheppard. They signed with Hull Records and recorded this (co-written by Sheppard) in 1956. After Hull sold the master to Rama Records, this reached #5 on the R&B charts. (thanks, Frank Pellicone - Yardley, PA)

Shortly after this hit, Sheppard left the Heartbeats to form his own group, Shep and the Limelites, who eventually recorded an answer record. Five years later (in 1961) Shep and the Limelites hit #2 on the Hot 100 with "Daddy's Home." (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL)
