Our Love Lyrics

You say I am genuine
I see your backhand again
I'm a sinner, I have sinned
We're a half mast flag in wind

It's Our Love
It's our love
It's our love
It's our love
It's our love
It's our love
It's our love
It's our love
It's our love

At the bottom of a well
I'm reliving my own hell
Someone throws the ladder down
Still don't know what I have found

In our love
In our love
In our love
In our love
In our love
In our love
In our love
In our love
In our love

It's all love
It's all love
It's all love
It's all love
It's all love
It's all love
It's all love
It's all love

Our Love

This is a track from Are We There, which centers on the ending of Sharon Van Etten's on-off relationship with a DJ named Christian. "I had no idea I was writing a breakup record when I was writing this, but that's what I ended up doing," she admitted to Mojo magazine. "Most of the tracking was done by the time it happened. It's kind of heavy when you look at it in those terms; I'd been writing these songs for two years and everything just came to fruition. It's kind of dark."

The video, directed by Karen Collins, sees Van Etten, eyes shut, torn by her love. Speaking about the clip, Van Etten said: "Working with Karen was a dream. We sat together and talked about imagery and feeling and distance versus connection. Lightness versus darkness. Referencing directors like Tarkovsky to articulate the beauty in the understatement and slowness."

"'Our Love' is about someone acknowledging that having loved and letting it be over can be just as beautiful as being in love," she added. "It can also be a form of rebirth and renewal and inspiring and uplifting, even in the darkness and sadness. I think Karen captured that really well."

Asked on Reddit about her songwriting process, Van Etten replied: "I'm usually going through a really dark time. I pick up my recorder and my guitar or sit at the piano and sing stream of conscious for about ten minutes or so. Then I set it aside and don't listen to it for days. When I have a bit more distance from it, I listen to it and try to understand what it is I was going through and what I was feeling... Then I listen to see if there is a melody or a line that I can (and other people can) relate to and learn from. If I can't find any of that I don't share it. IF there is something to it, I work on it from there."

The Hindu Times Lyrics

I get up when I'm down
I can't swim but my soul won't drown
I do believe I got flare
I got speed and I walk on air

'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it

In and out my brain
You're runnin' through my vein
You're my sunshine
You're my rain

There's a light that shines on
Shines on me and it keeps me warm
It gimme peace I must say
I can't sleep 'cause the world won't wait

'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
'Cause God gimme soul in your rock'n'roll, babe
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it

In and out my brain
You're runnin' through my vein
You're my sunshine
You're my rain

And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it
And I get so high I just can't feel it

In and out my brain
You're runnin' through my vein
You're my sunshine
You're my rain

The Hindu Times

Guitarist Noel Gallagher admits that, unlike almost all other Oasis songs, this is about absolutely nothing. It just sounds great. (thanks Benjamin - Liverpool, England)

This was released as a single with "Just Getting Older" and "Idlers Dream" as the B-sides. These songs aren't available on an album.

Although this went nowhere in the US, it hit #1 in Italy and Canada.

This was the first time that Oasis released a DVD single. The DVD includes two different audio versions of the song, as well as the first part of a documentary covering the band's life on the road during their 2001 "Tour of Brotherly Love" with the Black Crowes.

This was the first single from the album. They planned to release the song "Force Of Nature," but felt it just wasn't good enough. (thanks, Carlos Arredondo - Monterrey, Mexico)

Noel got the title for this song off of a t-shirt he had found. (thanks, Ian - Kalamazoo, MI)

In the video, Liam Gallagher mocks his boozy image by drinking milk. (thanks, Steve - Laconia, NH)

Heathen Chemistry was recorded at Wheeler End Studio in Buckinghamshire, England. It's owned by Suzanne Lee, the former wife of Blues rocker Alvin Lee, and the studio's facilities have also been used by the likes of George Harrison, Paul Weller, Ian Brown and Robbie Williams.

SmartPhones Lyrics

She picks up the phone
In my head I know I'm wrong
I just want to know what she's heard
I'm pacing back and forth
'Cause I know that I've been caught
Trying to think of the perfect words

So I can come to her and lie right to her face
I don't know what I'm gonna say
But I know that I'm gonna say
Whatever it takes
I'mma run to her and lie right to her face
I don't know what I'm gonna say
But I know that I'm gonna say
Whatever it takes

Time is not on our side
'Cause she's waving goodbye goodbye
'Cause she's waving goodbye goodbye
Smarts phones, dumb shit

Never knew I call so if she heard it all
I'm all out of luck tonight
I can say it was a joke but who am I kidding she ain't slow
Only way to make it right

Is if I come to her and lie right to her face
I don't know what I'm gonna say
But I know that I'm gonna say
Whatever it takes
I'mma run to her and lie right to her face
I don't know what I'm gonna say
But I know that I'm gonna say
Whatever it takes

Oh man I got to think of something
I'm about to lose it all
I swear that shit really didn't mean nothing
It all started with a pocket call

So I'mma run to her and lie right to her face
I don't know what I'm gonna say
But I know that I'm gonna say
Whatever it takes
I'mma run to her and lie right to her face
I don't know what I'm gonna say
But I know that I'm gonna say
Whatever it takes

Time is not on our side
'Cause she's waving goodbye goodbye
She's waving goodbye goodbye
Smart phones, dumb shit

SmartPhones

This smouldering ballad finds Songz singing of a pocket-dial mishap made by his smart phone while he's cheating on his girlfriend. He's unsure how much she's heard, but is scared that the accident is going to ruin their relationship.

"These phones are so smart in all that they do, that it's like they're an extension of our brain, but what they can't do is always prevent human error and human nature," Songz told Mashable . "The mistakes that we as humans make, the relationships that we make and we break, no amount of technology can save."

Anthem Lyrics

Everything has fallen to pieces,
Earth is dying help me Jesus
We need guidance,
We've been misled,
Young and hostile,
But not stupid
Corporate leaders, politicians,
Kids can't vote, adults elect them
Mobs that rule the school and workplace,
Signs that caution, sixteen's unsafe

We really need to see this through,
We never wanted to be abused
We'll never give up, it's no use,
If we're f***ed up
You're to blame

Let this train wreck burn more slowly,
Kids are victims in this story
Drown our youth with useless warnings,
Teenage rules they're f***ed and boring

We really need to see this through,
We never wanted to be abused
We'll never give up, it's no use,
If we're f***ed up
You're to blame

Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to pieces,
Everything has fallen to

We really need to see this through,
We never wanted to be abused,
We'll never give up, it's no use,
If we're f***ed up
You're to blame

Anthem

This is about being trapped in the suburbs and wishing for your 21st birthday to come so that you can finally have freedom and beer.

Like many of blink-182's songs, this expresses the way many teenagers feel. Their appeal to this audience is the reason for their massive success.

This is the last song on the band's huge commercial success, Enema of the State.

Foil Lyrics

I never seem to finish all my food
So I always gets doggy bag from the waiter
So I just keep what's still unchewed
And I take it home, save it for later

But then I deal with fungal rot, bacterial formation
Microbes, enzymes, mould and oxidation
I don't care, I've got a secret trick up my sleeve
I never bother with baggies, glass jars, tupperware containers
Plastic cling wrap, really a no-brainer
I just like to keep all my flavours sealed in tight

With aluminum Foil (foil)
Never settle for less
That kind of wrap is just the best
To keep your sandwich nice and fresh
Stick it in your cooler (cooler)
Eat it when you're ready
But maybe you'll choose (you'll choose, you'll choose, you'll choose)
A refreshing herbal tea

Mmm, lovely!

Oh, by the way, I've cracked the code
I've figured out these shadow organizations
And the Illuminati know
That they're finally primed for world domination

And soon you've got black helicopters comin' cross the border
Puppet masters for the New World Order
Be aware: there's always someone that's watching you
And still the government won't admit they faked the whole moon landing
Thought control rays, psychotronic scanning
Don't mind that, I'm protected cause I made this hat

From aluminum foil (foil)
Wear a hat that’s foil lined
In case an alien's inclined
To probe your butt or read your mind
Looks a bit peculiar ('culiar)
Seems a little crazy
But someday I'll prove (I'll prove, I'll prove, I'll prove)
There's a big conspiracy

Foil

This twisted take on Lorde's "Royals" is an ode to aluminum foil and all its convenient uses, from keeping leftovers fresh to keeping us safe from shadowy governments bent on world domination.

Comedian Patton Oswalt appears in the video as a frustrated infomercial director, along with actors Tom Lennon and Ben Garant.

Silver Threads and Golden Needles Lyrics

I don't want your lonely mansion
With a tear in every room
All I want's the love you've promised
Beneath the halo moon

But you think I should be happy
With your money and your name
And hide myself in sorrows
While you play your cheatin' game

Silver Threads and Golden Needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows
In the warm glow of your mind

You can't buy my love with money
'Cause I ain't never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine

Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows
In the warm glow of your mind

You can't buy my love with money
'Cause I ain't never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine

Silver Threads and Golden Needles

The Springfields were a Peter, Paul & Mary-style folk trio of Dusty Springfield (later a solo star), her brother Tom, and their friend Tim Field. The song was originally recorded by Wanda Jackson in 1956 - it was the first single for the rockabilly singer. The Springfields heard Jackson's version and recorded their own. Their version is an early example of folk-pop, complete with a jangly guitar solo.

This song was written by Dick Reynolds and Jack Rhodes. Rhodes wrote some popular rockabilly and country song, including "A Satisfied Mind."

Some of the many artists to cover this song include The Cowsills, The Everly Brothers, Johnny Cash, Linda Ronstadt and Johnny Rivers. Here are the versions that charted on the US Hot 100:

Jody Miller (#54, 1965)
The Cowsills (#74, 1969)
Linda Ronstadt (#67, 1974)

The Springfields released the successful singles "Breakaway" and "Bambino" in the UK before issuing "Silver Threads and Golden Needles" there in April 1962. It was a flop there, but when it was released in America as their first single in July 1962, it became a Stateside hit. When the album was released in the US, it was named after this track, but in the UK it was called Kinda Folksy.

The Springfields failed to make the US Top 40 with any more songs, but did have further UK success with the hits "Island Of Dreams" (#5), "Say I Won't Be There" (#5) and "Come On Home" (#31).

(Oh No, What Shall We Do?) Daddy Lost His Head In A Coup Lyrics

(Oh No, What Shall We Do?) Daddy Lost His Head In A Coup

In our interview with Martin Gordon, he revealed "(Oh No, What Shall We Do?) Daddy Lost His Head in a Coup" is "a tune about email scams," more specifically, a Nigerian banking fraud that circulated in 2003 claiming to offer the addressee $19.5 million in exchange for their financial details. On his his official website, Gordon shares the hilarious correspondence between himself and the so-called "highly placed officials of the Civilian Government of Nigeria Federal Ministry of Aviation" that provided the basic material for this song. As for the rather ungainly title, Gordon added: "I do like using punctuation in song titles, although it makes registering them with collection agencies a right bugger, especially if you are a bit pissed."

The Joy of More Hogwash was the second album to be released from Gordon's Mammal Trilogy. The Trilogy, which consists of three tranches of two parts each, marked Gordon's debut solo material, having previously played bass for the likes of Sparks, Jet and Radio Stars. The sixth and final part of the Trilogy, Include Me Out, was released in 2013.

The Love You Save Lyrics

Stop na na na, you'd better save it!
Stop, stop, stop, you'd better save it!

When we played tag in grade school
You wanted to be It.
But chasing boys was just a fad
You crossed your heart you'd quit.

When we grew up you traded
Your promise for my ring
Now just like back to grade school
You're doing the same old thing!

Stop, The Love You Save may be your own!
Darling, take it slow
Or some day you'll be all alone.
You'd better stop, the love you save may be your own!
Darling, look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for the danger zone.

I'm the one who loves you!
I'm the one you need!

Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed!

They'll ruin your reputation!
They'll label you a flirt!

The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name to dirt, oh!

Isaac said he kissed you
Beneath the apple tree
When Benji held your hand he felt
Electricity
When Alexander called you
He said he rang your chimes.
Christopher discovered
You're way ahead of your times!

Stop, the love you save may be your own!
Darling, take it slow
Or some day you'll be all alone.
You'd better stop, the love you save may be your own!
Darling, look both ways before you cross me
You're headed for a danger zone.

Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down.
Slow down.

S is for "Save it"
T is for "Take it slow"
O is for "Oh, no!"
P is for "Please, please, don't go!"

The love you save may be your own
Some day you may be all alone
Stop it!
Save it, girl!
Baby, ooh!
You better stop, the love you save may be your own
Please, please
Or some day, some day baby,
You'll be all alone

I'm the one who loves you!
I'm the one you need!

Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed. (Ah!)

Stop, the love you save may be your own, baby
You'd better stop it, stop it, stop it girl!
Or someday you'll be all alone.

The way they talk about you
They'll turn your name, turn your name to dirt.

Stop, he love you save may be your own!
Don't you know don't you know.
Some day baby you'll be all alone. (Wait a while)

Those other guys will put you down
As soon as they succeed.

Stop, the love you save may be your own!

The Love You Save

Like "I Want You Back" and "ABC," this was written and produced by "The Corporation": Freddie Perren, Deke Richards, Fonce Mizell, and Berry Gordy Jr.

With this single, the Jackson 5 became the first act ever to have its first three chart singles top the Billboard singles chart (Hot 100, or Top 100 prior to 1956).

The original lyrics concerned traffic safety. After the song was altered to fit the style of the Jackson 5, only the title and the line "Darling, look both ways before you cross me" survived. (thanks, Brad Wind - Miami, FL, for all above)

The "Christopher" reference is about Christopher Columbus. The line is, "Christopher discovered you're way ahead of your time," which makes sense, but only from an American perspective: Schoolchildren in the USA were taught that Christopher Columbus "discovered" the North American continent. (thanks, Robin - Birmingham, AL)

Push The Button Lyrics

Push The Button

Amy Lee wrote this song for the Mark Jackson directed indie film War Story – she also penned the movie's score along with friend and composer Dave Eggar.

Reckon this sounds different to both Amy Lee's solo work and her material with Evanescence? That's not surprising as the recording process was a departure from her past tunes. "For a long time, the director, Mark, just couldn't find the right song placement for this one scene that he wanted something really different sounding. So I was like 'You know what? I can do this myself,'" she explained to MTV News. "It's very different for me, it's electronic; I did it all myself, which was crazy, because I'm used to engineering and writing and mixing demos in my house, but being responsible for that being the end product was a new challenge for me. It was like 'This is it, I'm mixing this.'"

Rise Lyrics

Rise

Herb's nephew, Randy Badazz Alpert, wrote this with Andy Armer. When the 3M Company lent a 32-track digital recorder to A&M Records (then co-owned by Alpert), they had some time to experiment. Says Randy: "It was Herb's idea to record The Lonely Bull and several other of his old hit records in a dance format, and though I did not particularly like the idea I did go ahead and work up some new dance arrangements for those old songs. I had played Rise and several other new songs for Herb several weeks before the recording session and he loved 2 out of the 3 songs. We had always intended to record Rise during the session. That song was never an after thought. We did try recording the Lonely Bull and one other song before we switched to Rise. The room seemed to light up when we started to record that tune. It was a magical moment for both Herb and me."

On the Armer/Badazz audition tape, this was a stomper, going 128 beats per minute. Alpert slowed it to about 100 BPM so "People could dance and hug each other at the end of the night."

After this was released, it got an unexpected boost when it was used in a critical scene in the TV series General Hospital - the rape of Laura by Luke (Anthony Geary, who plays Luke, suggested the song to the series' music director). The song was repeated several times a week for a short period afterward, until the storyline changed to make Luke and Laura a romantic couple.

It wouldn't be the last time General Hospital bumped a song up the charts: In 1983, "Think Of Laura" by Christopher Cross was used as Luke and Laura's love theme, and exposure on the show pushed it to #9 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart.

This was Alpert's second #1 (after "This Guy's in Love With You"), making him to only solo performer to be credited with a #1 vocal and a #1 instrumental single. This is the instrumental.

This became a hit in the UK - ironically at 135 BPM - as British club DJs did not realize that American 12-inch singles are played at 33 revolutions per minute, not 45 (the European standard).

All of the music for Notorious B.I.G.'s hit "Hypnotize" was sampled from this. "Hypnotize" was a Billboard #1 Pop, R&B, and Rap song and was Top 10 in most countries throughout the world in 1997. So the "Rise" music was actually a #1 record twice in a span of 28 years.

To follow this up, "Rotation" was released in January 1980 and was a minor Top 40 hit in America. There was another single called "Street Life" which was released in late spring of 1980. "Beyond" was released at the end of summer 1980. (Thanks to Randy Badazz Alpert for telling us about this song)

This song won a Grammy in 1980 for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. It was the third time that Alpert won a Grammy. His last 2 songs that won Grammys were "A Taste of Honey" (1965) and "What Now My Love?" (1966). (thanks, Jerro - New Alexandria, PA)

Album: Are You Experienced?
Released: 1967

The Wind Cries Mary Lyrics

The Wind Cries Mary

Jimi wrote this in 1967 for Are You Experienced?; it was inspired by his girlfriend at the time, Kathy Mary Etchingham. He'd gotten into an argument with her about her cooking. She got very angry and started throwing pots and pans and finally stormed out to stay at a friend's home for a day or so. When she came back, Jimi had written "The Wind Cries Mary" for her.

Kathy Mary recalled, "We'd had a row over food. Jimi didn't like lumpy mashed potato. There were thrown plates and I ran off. When I came back the next day, he'd written that song about me. It's incredibly flattering." (Source Q magazine February 2013)

Jimi wrote the song quietly in his apartment and didn't show it to anybody. After recording "Fire" (which was about his sexual relationship with Kathy), he had 20 minutes to spare in the recording studio, so he showed it to the band. They managed to record it in the 20 minute period they had. The band later recorded several more takes of the song, but they all seemed very sterile and they decided to go with the original recording.

This was the third single from Are You Experienced?. (thanks, Brett - Edmonton, Canada, for above 2)

A lot of people assumed this was about marijuana, which is also known as "Mary Jane."

This song begins with a distinctive and recognizable introduction, in which three chromatically ascending 'five' chords are played in second inversion. A 'five' chord consists of two notes (first or "root," and fifth) instead of three (root, third and fifth). The missing middle note gives the chord a more 'open' or 'bare' sound. A second inversion "flips" the notes in the chord, so that the fifth, not the root, is the lowest sounding note. This makes it more difficult for the listener to immediately identify what key the song is being played in. In addition, a syncopated rhythm makes it difficult for the listener to identify the "down beats" of the song. This combination of musical elements creates a unique and disorienting experience when the song is heard for the first time.

Jamie Cullum covered this song, replacing the guitar part with a jazzy piano. Other artists to record the song include John Mayer, Popa Chubby and Robyn Hitchcock. (thanks, Tonyz - Mandelieu)

According to the book Jimi Hendrix: Electric Gypsy , Hendrix wrote this as a very long song, but broke it down to fit the short-song convention and make it radio friendly. Hendrix was concerned that listeners wouldn't understand the song in its shortened form.
