Undiscovered Lyrics


You’re the only one that I’ve got
But I can’t get lost if you
I can’t get lost if you

It can be someone I know
To make it up to you
Make it up to you

Uuu uuuu uuuu
Uuu uuuu uuuu

You’re Undiscovered
I wanna see the rest of you
I can’t get next to you
I can’t get next to you

You’re undiscovered
I wanna see the rest of you
I can’t get next to you
I can’t get next to you

You don’t wanna look ahead
When it’s staring back at you
Staring back at you

Uuu uuuu uuuu
Uuu uuuu uuuu
Baby I’m about to lose
Uuu uuuu uuuu
But I can’t decipher you
Uuu uuuu uuuu

You’re undiscovered
I wanna see the rest of you
I can’t get next to you
I can’t get next to you

You’re undiscovered
I wanna see the rest of you
I can’t get next to you
I can’t get next to you

It’s evident that you never were fully person
In a composition
Holding in what you really want
Left no evidence that you were listening

It’s evident that you never were fully person
In a composition
Holding in what you really want
Left no evidence that you were listening

You’re undiscovered
I wanna see the rest of you
I can’t get next to you
I can’t get next to you

You’re undiscovered
I wanna see the rest of you
I can’t get next to you
I can’t get next to you

You’re undiscovered
I wanna see the rest of you
I can’t get next to you
I can’t get next to you

You’re undiscovered
I wanna see the rest of you
I can’t get next to you
I can’t get next to you

Undiscovered
  • This song finds Welsh delving into a 'take it or leave it' approach. She explained to The Line Of Best Fit : "It's about me going through a certain situation and my personal experience. And I guess the key line in that track is 'I can't be something that I'm not.' It's like 'take me as I am or leave it.'"

    "It's about looking underneath everything and how to figure that out, and my train of thought was on those lines," Welsh continued. "I'd say that was the key line of the song and everything else was built around that."
  • Welsh collaborated on the song with American producer Emile Haynie, who's also worked with Kanye and Lana Del Rey. She told Line of Best Fit: "He came to London for a week and did a few tracks over here. Then I just went to New York a couple of months ago and went to his studio. That was really cool. So we worked on a few tracks on the album, and I also worked with Dev Hynes before Christmas last year for like a day, and 'Unravel' came out of that, which released through Luv Luv Luv. And then when I went back to New York to work on my writing, and Dev and Emile were there, so I worked with them. We just got in a room together, and it was great to get everyone I worked from the start of the record in the beginning together."
  • This was included on on the 50 Shades Of Grey soundtrack. Welsh told HMV.com : "The song wasn't written for the film, but the producers liked it and wanted it for the film."

    Aeroplane Lyrics


    I like pleasure spiked with pain
    And music is my Aeroplane
    It's my aeroplane
    Songbird sweet and sour Jane
    And music is my aeroplane
    It's my aeroplane
    Pleasure spiked with pain
    That mother fucker always spiked with pain

    Looking in my own eyes "hello"
    I can't find the love I want
    Someone better slap me
    Before I start to rust
    Before I start to decompose
    Looking in my rear view mirror
    I can make it disappear
    I can make it disappear "have no fear"

    I like pleasure spiked with pain
    And music is my aeroplane
    It's my aeroplane
    Songbird sweet and sour Jane
    And music is my aeroplane
    It's my aeroplane
    Pleasure spiked with pain
    That mother fucker always spiked with pain

    Sitting in my kitchen hey girl
    I'm turning into dust again
    My melancholy baby
    The star of mazzy must
    Push her voice inside of me
    I'm overcoming gravity
    I'm overcoming gravity
    It's easy when you're sad to be
    It's easy when you're sad "said 'bout me"

    I like pleasure spiked with pain
    And music is my aeroplane
    It's my aeroplane
    Songbird sweet and sour Jane
    And music is my aeroplane
    It's my aeroplane
    Pleasure spiked with pain

    Just one note
    Could make me float
    Could make me float away
    One note from
    The song she wrote
    Could fuck me where I lay
    Just one note
    Could make me choke
    One note that's
    Not a lie
    Just one note
    Could cut my throat
    One could make me die

    I like pleasure spiked with pain
    And music is my aeroplane
    It's my aeroplane
    Songbird sweet and sour Jane
    And music is my aeroplane
    It's my aeroplane
    Pleasure spiked with pain

    Aeroplane
  • This is based on a traditional Blues song called "Jesus Is My Aeroplane." On their Greatest Hits DVD, Red Hot Chili Peppers explain that is how they feel about music, that it takes them to a higher place. (thanks, Liz - Surrey, England)
  • Towards the end of the video there is a group of kids singing "You're my Aeroplane." Those kids are from the kindergarten class of Clara, daughter of bass player Flea. Clara is the one towards the left, singing the loudest. (thanks, James - Guilford, CT)
  • Some of the lyrics seem to be about hedonism and drug use, notably the refrain "I like pleasure spiked with pain." The line, "Sitting in my kitchen, I'm turning into dust again" is most likely a reference to lead singer Anthony Kiedis' relapse, as his kitchen was where he would often do drugs. (thanks, Richard - Bradley, IL)
  • Flea played some slap bass on the verses of this song using a Treker Louis Johnson Signature 4-string. In an interview with Bass Player magazine, he explained that the song gave him a little trouble. Said Flea: "'Aeroplane' was the only song I was worried about-I thought it sounded like another stupid white boy trying to be funky! I put it out anyway, but it's the one thing I'd go back and fix. When I played it live in the studio with the band, the bass didn't record right for some reason, so it was one of the few things I had to overdub. The part kept feeling stiff to me, as if it wasn't my day; I wasn't flowing with the drums. I wanted to redo it, but Rick (Rubin, producer) said, 'It's cool.'"

    Wasteland Lyrics


    I'm the first one in line to die
    When the cavalry comes
    Yeah it feels like the great divide
    Has already come
    Yeah I'm wasting my way through days
    Losing youth along the way

    Oh if God is on my side
    Oh if God is on my side
    Oh if God is on my side
    Who can be against me

    There was a greatness I felt for awhile
    But somehow it changed
    Some kind of blindness I used to protect me
    From all of my stains
    Yeah I wish this was vertigo
    It just feels like I'm falling slow

    Oh if God is on my side
    Then who can be against me

    Yeah in this Wasteland where I'm livin'
    There is a crack in the door filled with light
    And it's all that I need to get by
    Yeah in this wasteland where I'm livin'
    There is a crack in the door filled with light
    And it's all that I need to shine

    All of these people I meet
    It seems like they're fine
    Yeah in some ways I hope that they're not
    And their hearts are like mine
    Yeah it's wrong when it seems like work
    To belong all I feel is hurt

    Oh if God is on my side
    Yeah if God is on my side
    Oh if God is on my side
    Who can be against me

    Yeah in this wasteland where I'm livin'
    There is a crack in the door filled with light
    And it's all that I need to get by
    Yeah in this wasteland where I'm livin'
    There is a crack in the door filled with light
    And it's all that I need to shine

    Oh if God is on my side
    Yeah if God is on my side
    Oh if God is on my side
    Who can be against me

    Wasteland
  • Lead vocalist Bear Rinehart admitted that Needtobreath were very close to calling it quits, but somewhere in making Rivers In the Wasteland, they rediscovered the passion for music and appreciation for each other. This song describes where the South Carolina rockers were at the beginning of the recording process. "'Wasteland' is about feeling like, 'Man, we're at the bottom, but there is some hope,'" Rinehart explained to Billboard magazine. "A lyric in the song says 'there's a crack in the door filled with light' that is really where we were when we started the record. It was bleak, but at the same time, something was happening."

    "We are here for a reason and we ended up naming the record Rivers in the Wasteland because we really felt like that hope, something came out of nothing," he continued. "We started loving each other and enjoying the moment and immediately things started being more inspired. We started getting surprised by what was happening rather than dictating everything. That's really what the record is about."

    Cinderella Man Lyrics


    A modest man from Mandrake
    Traveled rich to the city
    He had a need to discover
    A use for his newly-found wealth

    Because he was human
    Because he had goodness
    Because he was moral
    They called him insane

    Delusions of grandeur
    Visions of splendor
    A manic-depressive
    He walks in the rain

    Eyes wide open
    Heart undefended
    Innocence untarnished

    Cinderella Man
    Doing what you can
    They can't understand
    What it means

    Cinderella Man
    Hang on to your plans
    Try as they might
    They cannot steal your dreams

    In the betrayal of his love, he awakened
    To face a world of cold reality
    And a look in the eyes of the hungry
    Awakened him to what he could do

    He held up his riches
    To challenge the hungry
    Purposeful motion
    For one so insane

    They tried to fight him
    Just couldn't beat him
    This manic-depressive
    Who walks in the rain

    Cinderella Man
  • This is loosely based on a movie called Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, starring Gary Cooper as a man from a small town who inherits lots of money and moves to the big city.
  • Since joining the band in 1974, drummer Neil Peart has written the lyrics for Rush's songs. These lyrics are an exception - they were written by bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee. (thanks, Mike - Mountlake Terrace, Washington, for above 2)
  • Neil Peart (from "A Condensed Rush Primer," A Farewell to Kings Tourbook: "'Cinderella Man' is a strong story written by Geddy with some help from Alex, and it concerns some of his reactions and feelings engendered by the film Mr. Deeds Goes To Town. This one features a very unusual (for us) middle instrumental section that might even be called (shudder) funky!" (thanks, Rick - Omaha, NE)

    Album: Caustic Love
    Released: 2014

    Iron Sky Lyrics


    We are proud individuals living on the city
    But the flames couldn’t go much higher
    We find gods and religions to
    To paint us with salvation
    But no one
    No nobody
    Can give you the power

    To rise over love
    And over hate
    Through this Iron Sky
    That’s fast becoming our minds
    Over fear and into freedom

    Oh, that’s life
    Left dripping down the walls
    Of a dream that cannot breathe
    In this harsh reality
    Mass confusion spoon fed to the blind
    Serves now to define our cold society

    From which we’ll rise over love
    Over hate
    From this iron sky
    That’s fast becoming our minds
    Over fear and into freedom

    You just got to hold on!
    You just got to hold on!

    Oh oh oh oh

    (To those who can hear me, I say, do not despair
    The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed
    The bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress
    The hate of men will pass, and dictators die
    And the power they took from the people will return to the people
    And so long as men die, liberty will never perish
    Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men
    Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts!
    You are not machines, you are not cattle, you are men!
    You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful
    To make this life a wonderful adventure
    Let us use that power!
    Let us all unite!)

    And we’ll rise over love
    And over hate
    Through this iron sky
    That’s fast becoming our minds
    Over fear
    And into freedom
    Into freedom!

    From which we’ll rise over love
    And over hate
    Through this iron sky
    That’s fast becoming our minds
    Over fear and into freedom
    Freedom!

    Oh, from which we’ll rise over love
    And over hate
    Through this iron sky
    That’s fast becoming our minds
    Over fear and into freedom
    Freedom!

    Freedom!
    Rain on me!
    Rain on me!

    Iron Sky
  • This six-minute song finds Nutini urging politicians to turn modern fears "into freedom." He explained to The Sun: "The more I watch politicians in action, it just makes me angry. I watch certain politicians get asked questions that need answers and may just prance around with a big laugh and smile on my face. Politicians have an arrogance. I just do not understand. I've seen more constructive debate since high school."

    "People get disillusioned and voting has little value to some people," he added. "That's sad."
  • The song features a sample from Charlie Chaplin's speech in his Hitler–lampooning 1940s film, The Great Dictator ("You are not machines! You are not cattle!").
  • A live performance of this song at London's Abbey Road studios saw an enthusiastic Adele tweet: "This is one of the best things I've ever seen in my life, hands down."
  • Paolo Nutini (from The Independent): "The world throws up new meanings for that one every day, but it's mainly that man-versus-machine thing. You know: you go into WH Smith these days and they steer you to the electronic checkout. I always think: 'Why so calm?' Don't you realize that thing that doesn't have a family to feed is going to have your job?"
  • A short film was released to accompany the song. Directed by Daniel Wolfe (Plan B), the nine-minute video offers a dystopian vision of the future, where people are suffering but are occasionally able to dance. According to the director he was sent the track by Nutini without any explanation, and the bleak future he created was inspired by Charlie Chaplin's speech that is sampled on the track.
  • This won for Best Track at the 2014 Q Awards.
  • Nutini told Q magazine he had to get permission from Charlie Chaplin's family to use the sample. He said: "To have them come back excited by the prospect only galvanized me more. To have Charlie Chaplin on your side certainly helps!"
  • Best remembered today as a comedian, Charlie Chaplin was also a talented composer. He penned "Smile" for the 1936 movie Modern Times, which became something standard with versions by Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, Petula Clark, Barbra Streisand and Diana Ross. Thirty years later, another Charlie Chaplin tune, "This Is My Song," was a big hit for Petula Clark.

    New Life Lyrics


    Suddenly everyting is fainting
    Falling from a broken ladder's rung
    There's a jolt exhilarating from the phone I'm holding
    I hear the words of what I'll become

    How eager the hands that reach for love

    'Cause now there's a New Life to behold
    And its the biggest part of my life to unfold

    'Cause now she's telling me she'll have my baby
    And a faithful father I am to be
    When I'm looking into the eyes of our own baby
    Will it bring new life into me?

    Deep inside must defy arrangement
    I've been a stumblin' from the startin' blocks 'til now
    And I'll always try to justify the way I've been behaving
    Should I teach one not to know how?
    How to live in a world we live in now

    'Cause there's a beautiful life to behold
    And its the biggest part of my life to unfold

    'Cause now she's telling me she'll have my baby
    And a father figure I am to be
    When I'm looking into the eyes of our own baby
    Will it bring new life into me?

    Oh please
    Oh please
    Oh please

    Bring new life
    Bring new life
    Bring new life into me

    New Life
  • Lead singer Shannon Hoon wrote the lyrics to this song after hearing that he was to be a father. They are about the struggles he had in life that he would teach his child to overcome.

    Sadly, Hoon never got the chance to raise his daughter, as he died of a drug overdose in 1995 shortly after the album was released while the band was on tour. Nico Hoon was born just a few months before Shannon's death. The band did what they could to look after her, naming their next album after Nico with proceeds helping to support her financially. In 2013, Blind Melon bassist Brad Smith told us that Nico is still very much a part of their lives. "Nico comes out and stays with us every year," he said. "Every spring break, she comes out to California and she comes in my studio and we hang out and we write a song. I get her to sing on stuff. I still am very much in contact with Shannon's daughter Nico."
  • Soup was Blind Melon's second album. Their first album got a lot of attention because of the hit single "No Rain," but Soup was largely ignored and sold very poorly as radio stations and MTV abandoned Blind Melon. Brad Smith of Blind Melon says that despite its commercial failure, the album is an artistic success. "Our first record sold many, many more units than our second record, but the second record had a lot more critical acclaim to it," he said. "People recognize it as the truth and pure. And I think that's the earmark of a great record."

    Looking For Something Lyrics


    Another day is washed away
    And all alibis are out
    And the hand that used to heal me only cursed me now
    The echoes of a woman so kind
    Rain like waterfalls and ice-cream on my worried mind
    I lay there in the puddle of myself
    Fishing from a brand new wish from that bucket down the well
    And in her colors I find my faith
    Cause I remember every word that lady used to say

    She said that hearts can't break themselves
    Looking For Something, leaving with nothing
    But souls can't save themselves
    Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!
    Be a long home without you
    It's just a long way home without you
    Yeah, yeah!

    That's my mother, like no other
    Made me human, made me brother
    And it's swelling with blister for my sake and my sisters
    The guardian of my karma, keep my feet on terrain firmer
    And then release me like a scient to the sky!

    She said that hearts can't break themselves
    Looking for something, leaving with nothing
    But souls can't save themselves
    Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!
    It's just a long way home

    Sister, you have some hungry eyes
    And by back you're hypnotized
    Smiling faces in disguise
    By back you're hypnotized
    Keep going against the grain
    And soon that's all, soon that's all you'll know
    And soon that's all you'll know
    And let's get this straight
    Sometimes you'll rise, and there's time you'll fall
    After all, you're just blood and bones
    And you don't owe no one, oh
    No, you don't owe no one
    So don't live like one price is right
    Cause there is some things in your life that you can't fight!

    She said that hearts can't break themselves
    Looking for something, wind up with nothing
    But souls can't save themselves
    Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!

    She said that hearts can't break themselves
    Looking for something, leaving with nothing
    But souls can't save themselves
    Learning to fly, learning to fly
    She said that souls can't save themselves
    Learning to fly, learning to fly
    Oh souls can't save themselves
    Learning to fly, learning to fly
    Oh momma, how I love you!
    Learning to fly, learning to fly
    No momma, how I love you
    Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!

    Nobody to Love
  • Sigma is a duo consisting of Cameron Edwards and Joe Lenzie, who first met at Leeds University in 2006 at drum and bass nights. Once they had finished in Leeds, the pair relocated to London and formed their own record label, Life Recordings.

    In 2010 Sigma hooked up with DJ Fresh to record "Lassitude." Released as the fifth single from Fresh's album Kryptonite it peaked at #98 on the UK Singles Chart.

    Sigma released their debut single "Rudeboy" in December 2013 after signing with 3Beat. That song reached #56 on the UK Singles Chart.
  • This is Sigma's second single with 3Beat. Originally a bootleg remix of Kanye West's "Bound 2," it was released on January 24, 2014 for free download. After receiving support from major British radio stations the tune was reworked into an original track with Charlie Wilson's original vocal being covered by a session vocalist. The new version was dropped on April 6, 2014, topping the UK iTunes chart upon release.
  • It was the hook of "Bound 2" that drew Sigma to rework the tune. Joe Lenzie told Digital Spy : "We loved the sound of the piano chords and the Charlie Wilson vocal and we just thought that could really work as a drum and bass track."

    "What we do when we have studio sessions is we spend a lot of time just listening to other stuff to try and see if we can get influence from different genres," he continued. "I think the fact that it was perfectly half speed for drum and bass as well that can be a big part of what's actually gonna work. You might hear something that's a great chord structure that you might think about remixing or whatever but if it's the wrong speed it just kind of kills the vibe."
  • So what does Kanye West think of Sigma's reworking of the song? Joe Lenzie said: "His management contacted us asking if we'd be prepared to somehow put together some exclusive VIP thing that he was gonna perform when he played at Wireless, but I think it was so last minute and we were in Miami at the time filming the video for 'Changing,' so we ended up just not doing it basically. But I'm assuming that that means that he must like it in one way I guess."

    Lakeside Park Lyrics


    Midway hawkers calling
    "Try your luck with me"
    Merry-go-round wheezing
    The same old melody
    A thousand ten-cent wonders
    Who could ask for more?
    A pocketful of silver
    The key to heaven's door

    Lakeside Park
    Willows in the breeze
    Lakeside Park
    So many memories
    Laughing rides
    Midway lights
    Shining stars on summer nights

    Days of barefoot freedom
    Racing with the waves
    Nights of starlit secrets
    Crackling driftwood flames
    Drinking by the lighthouse
    Smoking on the pier
    Still we saw the magic
    Fading every year

    Everyone would gather
    On the twenty-fourth of May
    Sitting in the sand
    To watch the fireworks display
    Dancing fires on the beach
    Singing songs together
    Though it's just a memory
    Some memories last forever

    Lakeside Park
  • The "Lakeside Park" is St. Catharine's, on Lake Ontario in Canada. Rush drummer and lyricist Neil Peart lived very near Lakeside Park and spent summers as a child working and playing there. This song details his memories, his time spent there, and of how it used to be before they changed it.
  • The lyrics mention the "24th of May" - This is Victoria Day, commemorating Queen Victoria's birthday. (thanks, Mike - Mountlake Terrace, Washington)
  • Neil Peart (from Traveling Music): "Another important setting in my childhood and early teens was Lakeside Park, in Port Dalhousie. When I was 14 and 15, I worked summers at Lakeside Park as a barker ('Catch a bubble, prize every time,' all day and night), and there was music: some of the kids brought transistor radios to work, and the music of that summer of 1966 played up and down the midway. At night, when the midway closed, we gathered around a fire on the beach, singing. Lakeside Park resonated in my life in so many deep ways, especially those fundamental exposures to music that would be forever important. It's all gone now. All that's left, apart from memories, is the old merry-go-round." (thanks, Rick - Omaha, NE)

    Warm Winds Lyrics


    Hey, hey glory child, hey

    Hey glory child, don't you worry
    Stuttering, shaken off your fear
    Beauty's never given in a hurry
    So condescending, leave your questions here
    Hey glory child, don't you worry
    I can see your skeleton so clear
    Doubting's only made your visions blurry
    You're better off just looking in the mirror

    Show me a better way, I wish you could
    Show me a better way, I wish you would
    Come home today, you could
    Come home today

    I am shooting stars you will never see me
    Watching over your every mistake
    Digging out of graves is never easy
    Handing you my shovel, here to take
    Always playing catch me if you can
    Gingerbread you heard I'm sweet to taste
    Close your eyes let go and count to ten
    I'll keep track of every moment wasted

    Show me a better way, I wish you could
    Show me a better way, I wish you would
    Come home today, you could
    Come home today

    Dear God make me a bird, so I can fly far, far far away
    Dear God make me a bird, so I can fly far, far far away
    Dear God make me a bird, so I can fly far, far far away

    Call your phone on a late night
    I recall your soul had a taste like
    Gardens, flowers, Warm Winds

    The clouds below your feet
    Quit clipping on your wings
    Sometimes we hate to leave somebody
    Whats happening to we?
    Warm winds on a space ride
    When I call your phone on a late night
    I recall your soul had a taste like
    Gardens, flowers, Warm Winds

    The clouds below your feet
    Quit clipping on your wings
    Sometimes we hate to leave somebody
    Whats happening to we?
    Warm Winds on a space ride

    Sometimes, I call your name out loud
    Just to make sure it's you
    Sometimes, I crack my veins open
    Just to see if it's blue
    You clean me up

    Show me a better way, I wish you could
    Show me a better way, I wish you would
    Come home today, you could
    Come home today

    Sometimes I bite my lips and close my eyes
    Just to pretend it's you
    Long live, lonely thoughts on Thursday nights
    That's when I think of you
    We were all thirteen once
    Long live tramp stamps and Pepper Ann
    You will never judge me for that
    You will always love me for that

    Warm Winds on a space ride
    When I call your phone on a late night
    I recall your soul had taste like...
    Gardens, flowers, Warm Winds

  • Solana Rowe is an American singer-songwriter from Maplewood, New Jersey who is better known as SZA. She first met members of Top Dawg Entertainment, the record label housing rappers Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q and their Black Hippy crew, during the CMJ 2011. A friend attending the show with her persuaded TDE president Terrence "Punch" Henderson to listen to some of her material, which he liked. In July 2013 it was announced that SZA was the first R&B act on the TDE roster.
  • SZA recorded much of her debut Z album in Carson, California during the summer of 2013, where she shared accommodation with labelmate Rashad. The pair became friends and collaborated on each other's songs. SZA sang the hook on Rashad's 2013 single "Ronnie Drake" and Rashad returned the favor on this Mac Miller co-produced track.

    "Him and all his producers would kick open my door in the morning and jump on the bed and light blunts at 9 AM," SZA recalled to Billboard magazine. "Now we're each other's security blanket, in a way. We just get each other really well."

    Lovely Day Lyrics


    When I wake up in the morning, love
    And the sunlight hurts my eyes
    And something without warning, love
    Bears heavy on my mind

    Then I look at you
    And the world's alright with me
    Just one look at you
    And I know it's gonna be
    A Lovely Day
    A lovely day

    When the day that lies ahead of me
    Seems impossible to face
    When someone else instead of me
    Always seems to know the way

    Then I look at you
    And the world's alright with me
    Just one look at you
    And I know it's gonna be
    A lovely day
    A lovely day

    When the day that lies ahead of me
    Seems impossible to face
    When someone else instead of me
    Always seems to know the way

    Then I look at you
    And the world's alright with me
    Just one look at you
    And I know it's gonna be
    A lovely day
    A lovely day

    Lovely Day
  • Skip Scarborough was a songwriter and producer who worked with Earth, Wind & Fire, Patti Labelle, LTD, and many other R&B stars before his death in 2003. He wrote the music for this song, and was also the inspiration for the lyrics Withers came up with. In our interview with Bill Withers, he explained: "Skip was a very nice, gentle man. The way Skip was, every day was just a lovely day. He was an optimist. If I had sat down with the same music and my collaborator had been somebody else with a different personality, it probably would have caused something else to cross my mind lyrically. It was a combination of the music and the person and the ambiance in the room."
  • Withers told us: "We're all sponges in a sense. You put us around very nice people, and the nice things come out in us. You put us around some jerks, and we practice being jerks. We all adjust. Did you ever notice the difference in the way you speak to your grandmother or your best contemporary friend? If I had sat down with the same music and my collaborator had been somebody else with a different personality, it probably would have caused something else to cross my mind lyrically."
  • In 1999, this was used in a series of very popular commercials for The Gap, where it helped sell a lot of Khakis. Many people discovered the song because of the commercial.
  • Near the end of the song, Withers holds a note for 18 seconds... "Lovely Daaaaaaaaay." This might be the longest held vocal note of any hit song.
  • In 1992, a group called The Soul System remade this into a dance song that was used in the movie The Bodyguard. It wasn't the first time one of Withers' songs was made into a dance hit - in 1987 Club Noveau had a #1 hit with a cover of "Lean On Me."
  • Artists who have covered this include Clarence Carter, Hootie & the Blowfish and Take 6. Luther Vandross also recorded it with Busta Rhymes on Vandross' last album Dance With My Father.
