For Whom The Bell Tolls Lyrics

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run through the endless grey
On the fight, for they are right, yes, by who's to say?
For a hill men would kill, why? They do not know
Stiffened wounds test there their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

For Whom The Bell Tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time you will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

For Whom The Bell Tolls

The lyrics are based on the Ernest Hemingway novel of the same name. The book is about an American who is given the job of taking out a bridge held by the Fascist army in the Spanish Civil War - the precursor to the World War II. He fell in love and then found out very disturbing things about life and death. (thanks, Anthony - Wichita, KS)

Hemingway's book is based on a John Doone poem from 1623.

This song is a commentary on the futility of war. The last few lines of the song diverge from the book to make this point. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 2)

This is another song in which Cliff Burton's unique lead bass style is often mistaken for a guitar solo. Burton played the intro using light distortion on his bass.

According to Kirk Hammett, Burton regularly played the intro bass riff when the pair of them were hanging out in their hotel room. The guitarist recalled to Rolling Stone in 2014: "He used to carry around an acoustic classical guitar that he detuned so that he could bend the strings. Anyway, when he would play that riff, I would think, 'That's such a weird, atonal riff that isn't really heavy at all.'"

"I remember him playing it for James (Hetfield, vocals), and James adding that accent to it and all of a sudden, it changed," Hammett added. "It's such a crazy riff. To this day, I think, 'How did he write that?' Whenever I hear nowadays, it's like, 'OK, Cliff's in the house.'"

Touch Lyrics

Feel to get a suit for tonight
You know I got a pretty young thing by my side
She's gonna call me when she's finished with her hair
And when she's found something sexy to wear

And if she wants to
We can hold each other's hands just that slow
Oh, she can hit it to the ground and drop it low
I've been waiting all week to get to know
Oh, just how to make a move, I

I just wanna feel your Touch
I never wanna give it up
You can never give me way too much
While I'm by your side

I just wanna feel your touch
I never wanna give it up
You can never give me way too much
While I'm by your side

Tell me, is it easier to see
That I don't want nobody else for you and me
Minutes later and I'm racing to your door
I never wanted someone's touch like this before

And if she wants to
We can hold each other's hands just that slow
Oh, she can hit it to the ground and drop it low
I've been waiting all week to get to know
Oh, just how to make a move, I

I just wanna feel your touch
I never wanna give it up
You can never give me way too much
While I'm by your side

I just wanna feel your touch
I never wanna give it up
You can never give me way too much
While I'm by your side

I just wanna feel your touch
I never wanna give it up
You can never give me way too much
While I'm by your side

I just wanna feel your touch
I never wanna give it up
You can never give me way too much
While I'm by your side

I feel your skin connect to mine
It's at the top of anything that I could want
I let it take all my time
Nothing else I want, nothing on my mind

I just wanna feel your touch
I never wanna give it up
You can never give me way too much
While I'm by your side

I just wanna feel your touch
I never wanna give it up
You can never give me way too much
While I'm by your side

I just wanna feel your touch
I never wanna give it up
You can never give me way too much
While I'm by your side

I just wanna feel your touch
I never wanna give it up
You can never give me way too much
While I'm by your side

I just wanna feel your touch
I never wanna give it up
You can never give me way too much
While I'm by your side

I just wanna feel your touch
I never wanna give it up
You can never give me way too much
While I'm by your side

Touch

Shift K3Y, aka Lewis Jankel, is a London based house producer who started his music career supporting Skrillex in America as a DJ and remixing the likes of Tinie Tempah and Bastille.

This Garage-Pop tune is Shift's first single release. It was dropped on April 6, 2014 with remixes from Chris Lorenzo, Oxford, and Three Bar.

The song's success caught Jankel off guard. He told Digital Spy : "I never actually wanted anyone to hear that song. It was to the point where I actually just called it 'single idea volume two' and refused to send it to the label because I don't know, I didn't want anything to do with it. Then about six months after that the label had heard it and my management were like, 'Look, we have to do this song, it's one of the best songs you've got at the moment. We should run with it.' I was kind of like, really? Does anyone actually like it? "

"It's a funny one because those are usually the ones that people kind of react to the most, the ones that you don't really think of too much," he added. "You just kind of let it happen and then you know, you kind of get a bit embarrassed by it."

The Last Resort Lyrics

The Last Resort

Don Henley wrote the lyrics about how people from the Eastern United States ruined the West early on. They killed the Native Americans, and the more West America goes, the more commercial it gets. (thanks, Bill - Johnstown, PA)

In a 1987 interview with Rolling Stone, Henley said: "The Last Resort, on Hotel California, is still one of my favorite songs... That's because I care more about the environment than about writing songs about drugs or love affairs or excesses of any kind. The gist of the song was that when we find something good, we destroy it by our presence - by the very fact that man is the only animal on earth that is capable of destroying his environment. The environment is the reason I got into politics: to try to do something about what I saw as the complete destruction of most of the resources that we have left. We have mortgaged our future for gain and greed."

The Way I Feel Inside Lyrics

Should I try to hide
The Way I Feel Inside
My heart for you?

Would you say that you
Would try to love me too?

In your mind
Could you ever be
Really close to me?

I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I
Could be certain then
I would say the things I want to say tonight

But 'til I can see
That you'd really care for me
I will dream
That someday you'll be
Really close to me

I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I
Could be certain then
I would say the things I want to say tonight

But 'til I can see
That you'd really care for me
I'll keep trying to hide
The way I feel inside

The Way I Feel Inside

This song was written by keyboardist/vocalist Rod Argent while The Zombies were on tour in 1964. Bandmate Chris White remembers: "Rod wrote one of the songs on the toilet on the Isley Brothers tour, and I think it was 'The Way I Feel Inside,' ironically enough! He was late for the bus; it was always 'You have to be on time for the bus' on that tour."

An early version of this a capella number featured a full band, but it was scrapped in favor of Colin Blunstone 's lone voice, heightened by the sounds of footsteps and a tossed coin (which can only be heard on the mono recording). (thanks, DeeTheWriter - Saint Petersburg, Russia Federation, for above 2)

This song was featured Wes Anderson's 2004 dramedy The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

Already Gone Lyrics

Well, I heard some people talking just the other day
And they said you were gonna put me on a shelf
Well, let me tell you I've got some news for you
And you'll soon find out it's true
And then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself
Coz I'm al-ready gone, and I'm fee-ling strong
I will si-ing this vict'ry song, woo-oo-oo, my my, woo-oo-oo
The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
But I guess you felt like you had to set things right
Just remember this my girl when you look up in the sky
You can see the stars and still not see the light, that's right
And I'm-al-ready gone, and I'm fee-eeling strong
I will si-ing this vict'ry song, woo-oo-oo, my my, woo-oo-oo
Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free
So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains
That we never even know we have the key
Me, I'm Already Gone, and I'm feeling strong
I will sing this vict'ry song, coz I'm already gone
Coz I'm al-ready gone, and I'm fee-eling strong
I will si-ing this vict'ry song, coz I'm al-ready gone
Yes, I'm already gone, already gone (awright, nighty night)
Already gone, already gone

Already Gone

This is one of the few Eagles songs not written by any member of the band. It was written by the songwriters Jack Tempchin and Robb Strandlund, who were friends of the Eagles. Tempchin also wrote "Peaceful Easy Feeling," which appeared on the first Eagles album.

Tempchin sent this to Glenn Frey to pitch it as an Eagles song. Frey had just come off of a relationship, so the lyrics about getting over a breakup were probably meaningful to him. (thanks, Bill - Johnstown, PA)

Frey sang lead on this. The song features twin guitar solos by Frey and Don Felder , who was new to the band. The Eagles also used twin guitar solos on "Hotel California."

This was one of the first songs the Eagles recorded with producer Bill Szymczyk. Their previous albums, and some of On The Border, were recorded in London with the venerable British producer Glyn Johns. Recording with a new producer at nearby Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles was a huge relief for Glenn Frey, who didn't get on with Johns. "I was much more comfortable in the studio with Bill, and he was more than willing to let everyone stretch a bit," he said. "'Already Gone' - that's me being happier; that's me being free."

Fishin' for Something

Rachele Lynae wrote this song with her friend Hannah Bethel after the two were exasperated by pushy guys trying to bust up their girl group on the dance floor. In our interview with Rachele , she explained: "It would be about that time of the night where the guy probably had too many drinks or something, I don't know. And they'd come up like, 'Hey, what are you doing?' And I'm like, 'Dude, it's 12:30. So after this, I'm going home. I'm not hanging out. No, thank you, I don't want to go mudding in the middle of the night with someone I just met. But thank you for asking.' [Laughing] Just some of the funniest things.

So Hannah and I wrote that song sitting down going, 'We've got to write about these guys.' So we wrote this and we laughed a lot and giggled and felt like we were pretty clever."

Inspired by this song, Rachele recorded a short YouTube video of the Best Worst Pick Up Lines where she endures a bunch of guys trying to hit on her with ridiculous come-ons.

Witchy Woman Lyrics

Witchy Woman

Eagles guitarist Bernie Leadon started writing this song when he was a member of The Flying Burrito Brothers. Once Bernie joined the Eagles, he and Don Henley finished the song in Eagles fashion. It was one of the first songs Henley wrote.

Leadon and Henley wrote this about a number of women they had met. It is not meant to portray the woman as devilish, but as more of a seductress.

The Eagles was the group's first album. It was produced by Glyn Johns, an Englishman who had previously worked with The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin. They recorded it at Olympic Studios in London in just three weeks; the group became far less efficient over time - their 1979 album The Long Run took more than two years to make.

According to the liner notes for The Very Best of the Eagles, the song originated with guitarist Bernie Leadon playing a "strange, minor-key riff that sounded sort of like a Hollywood movie version of Indian music." The song's lyrics didn't develop until Henley went down with a flu and high fever while he was reading a book about Zelda Fitzgerald. "I think that figured into the mix somehow - along with amorphous images of girls I had met at the Whisky and the Troubadour," he recalled.

Two for One Special

This comedic cheating revenge song is a duet with Rachele Lynae and Country music singer Jamie O'Neal , who also produced Rachele's debut. It was written by the two singers along with songwriter Shaye Smith.

Rachele explained the inspiration behind this song in our 2014 interview : "It was inspired by a situation I had with a friend where we had both starting dating guys - this was a while back - and we started talking about what they were like and she would say, 'Oh, he's just like the guy I'm seeing.' And then we ended up finding out in our conversation that they had the same first and middle name. And for half a second there, we were like, 'What?!' So we thought we might be dating the same guy. And then we realized we weren't.

But we ended up joking about it, saying, 'Oh, gosh, can you imagine what we would do if we found out we were dating the same guy?' So I came up with this song idea out of that situation called 'Two for One Special.'"

Lyin' Eyes Lyrics

Lyin' Eyes

This song is about a woman who cheats on her husband. She is very confused and down, and tells her husband she is going to see a friend when she is actually going to meet her lover. She goes across town to meet the boy with "Fiery eyes and dreams no one can steal."

She gets there and she falls into his arms, but has to leave to go back home. She swears someday she will come back forever, because she is happy there. As the song continues, she ponders her emotions - "She wonders, how it ever got this crazy..." She just wants to feel loved and happy but she is torn. (thanks, James - The Hideout, PA)

In the DVD Hell Freezes Over, the Eagles discussed this song's origins. When they were a struggling band in Los Angeles, they saw a lot of beautiful women around Hollywood who were married to wealthy, successful men, and wondered if they were unhappy. One night they were drinking in a bar (their favorite watering hole: Dan Tana's) when they spotted this stunning young woman; two steps behind her was a much older, fat, rich guy. As they were half laughing at them, Glenn Frey commented, "Look at her, she can't even hide those lyin eyes!"

Realizing they had a song title, the band members began grabbing for cocktail napkins to write down lyrics to go with that great observation.

In the History of the Eagles documentary, Don Henley offered a slightly different interpretation: "It was about all these girls that would come down to Dan Tana's looking beautiful. They'd be there from 8 O'clock until midnight having drinks with all of us rockers, then they'd go home because they were kept women."

Glenn Frey sang lead, Bernie Leadon was on lead guitar.

This won a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group.

In 2008, an Irish prosecutor quoted the words to this song ("You can't hide those lyin' eyes...") in her closing statement at a trial involving the email lyingeyes98@yahoo.ie. The Dublin jury convicted Sharon Collins of conspiring to have her older partner and his two sons killed. Using the lyingeyes98 email, she contacted a hit man at hire_hitman@yahoo.com to do the deed, apparently unaware that emails can be traced.

According to Don Felder, who was a guitarist with the Eagles at the time, Glenn Frey was extremely particular about how he sang the first word in this song: "City."

"It would either be a little early, or a little late, or the 'T' would be too sharp," he told Ultimate Classic Rock. "But every time that word goes by now and I hear it, I can appreciate the time and dedication and perseverance that it took to get it perfect."

Hold Back the Rain Lyrics

We're miles away from nowhere
And the wind doesn't have a name
So call it what you want to call it
Still blows down the lane

People tell me, I haven't changed at all
But I don't feel the same
And I bet you've had that feeling too
You just can't laugh all the time

[Chorus]
And if the fires burn out there's only fire to blame
(Hold Back the Rain)
No time for worry cause we're on the roam again.
(hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane
(hold back the rain)
Not on your own so help me please, hold back the rain

So what if the words ain't rhyming
Did you think that it's just a game
I probably didn't even say that right
And I really don't give a damn

Okay go off and wander
I'm guilty just the same
Sometimes you're needed badly
So please come back again

[Chorus]

And if the stars burn out, theirs only fire to blame
(hold back the rain)
No time for worry cause we're on the roam again.
(hold back the rain)
The clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane
(hold back the rain)
Not on your own so help me please, hold back the rain

Hold back the rain
Hold back the rain
Hold back the rain
Hold back the rain
Hold back the rain
Hold back the rain
Hold back the rain
Hold back the rain

Hold Back the Rain

For two former members of Duran Duran, drugs in general - and cocaine in particular - proved too tempting to decline. Guitarist Andy Taylor became a full-blown cocaine addict rather quickly, and would battle the demons of drug addiction for many years before wresting himself free of its grip.

According to a VH1 Interview, lead singer Simon Le Bon became worried that John was "staying out too late, taking too many drugs, drinking too much, and going home with the wrong kinds of people." As any good songsmith does, Simon took his emotions and put pen to paper, writing a song in March of 1982 that would become recorded as "Hold Back the Rain."

After writing the song, Simon slipped the song under John's door, and claimed that as late as 1993 John had never mentioned the incident to him, or that he knew Simon wrote the song about him. The song did appear on the band's second album, Rio plus included as a B side to the single for "Save a Prayer. It would take many years before John would hear the plea in that song and get help for the drug problems that dogged him, but now he is clean. (thanks, DeeTheWriter - Saint Petersburg, Russia Federation)

After the band reunited in 2003, this song was brought back into the live rotation. John Taylor told Pop Matters: "Now, when we play it, there’s a feeling of, that’s what we do, you know? That song is what Duran Duran is all about."

Blow Up The Outside World Lyrics

Nothing seems to kill me no matter how hard I try
Nothing is closing my eyes
Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight
And nothing seems to break me
No matter how hard I fall nothing can break me at all
Not one for giving up though not invincible I know

I've givin' everything I need
I'd give you everything I own
I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone
I've given everything I could
To blow it to hell and gone
Burrow down in and
Blow Up The Outside World

Someone tried to tell me something
Don't let the world get you down
Nothing will do me in before I do myself
So save it for your own and the ones you can help

Want to make it understood
Wanting though I never would
Trying though I know it's wrong
Blowing it to hell and gone
Wishing though I never could
Blow up the outside world

Blow Up The Outside World

Don't we all want to blow up the outside world (metaphorically) from time to time? Written entirely by lead singer Chris Cornell, this song finds him wishing he could retreat from the people and pressures of everyday life. His songs can be very dark, but he ascribes to the theory that sad songs can make you feel better - kind of like horror movies.

This song was written differently than most of Soundgarden's previous work. Instead of building off riffs, which was usually their strategy, Chris Cornell built this song with vocal melodies as the foundation. "Chris went that direction of singer/songwriter guy," guitarist Kim Thayil told us . "And the band was more accepting because of the success of singer/songwriting stuff as opposed to more guitar oriented rock."

Jerry Casale directed the video. He was a founding member of Devo, a band that was making innovative videos years before MTV went on the air. He directed all Devo's videos, and has worked on videos for many other artists. In our interview with Casale , he talked about working on the clip: "I directed the epic video, the last video they made before they broke up. Everybody had their own dressing rooms and only came out for the takes and then disappeared back in their dressing rooms. They were very professional - when they would come on the set, they were ready to do what they were supposed to do, but it was all business. I only found out during the shoot what was really going on with them, I had no idea they were about to break up until we were in the middle of this 3 day shoot of this epic 5 minute and 20 second song that was a very depressing song. I guess it was Chris' final statement about how he was feeling. It certainly left you with a depressed energy after you heard it."

In an interview with Chris Cornell back when the video was released, the interviewer asked him, "If you could blow something up on the outside world, what would it be?" Chris replied with: stupid people, mini malls, racists, and hardcore religious rights people. (thanks, Elies - Surrey, Canada)

Until their 2010 reunion, this was the last single Soundgarden released in the US or Europe. In April 1997, the band announced they were breaking up. Lead singer Chris Cornell released a solo album, then formed the band Audioslave with members of Rage Against The Machine.

Spark Lyrics

Spark

Amber Run is a Nottingham-based band comprising Joe Keogh (vocals), Will Jones (guitar), Tom Sperring (bass), Felix Archer (drums), and Henry Wyeth (keyboards). They were initially just called Amber but changed after finding out there was a German trance singer-songwriter with the same name.

Keogh explained the inspiration for this song to The Sun: "I was getting really angry about this dead cynicism amongst music makers and listeners," he said. "So 'Spark' was in retaliation to that. We wanted to make an infinitely optimistic tune."
