Beyond The Gray Sky Lyrics

It is a gift I know
A moment of bliss that we hold
A firecracker flash of light then on
To the next plane soul remain
Come along if you dare
It's gonna be that you're scared
Lovely life I thank you
For the reason to see the pain through

Light a candle for the dead
The wick is burning returning what we have
It's who we are
We'll reach you if you're beyond the furthest star

Don't give up the fight to stay alive and even if
you have to
Find the reason of another's pain if they lose you
If not for your self then those around who care
like I do
One day you'll see the clear blue

Beyond The Gray Sky
Light a candle
The wick
It's who we are

One day you'll see the clear blue
Beyond the Gray Sky

I can't believe you didn't call
What made you want to end it all
Wasn't there something I should have tried
To help you see beyond the gray sky

Here for You

This romantic House track features the voice of Laura Welsh. The Staffordshire native debuted in 2010 as Laura and the Tears, then as Hey Laura, finally releasing her recordings as Laura Welsh.

Before teaming up with Gorgon City, Welsh had already released several solo singles, collaborating with high-profile songwriters and producers like Dev Hynes ("Unravel") and Emile Haynie ("Undiscovered"). She had also supported Ellie Goudling and London Grammar on live dates.

Welsh recorded her contribution in December 2013. "I went over to their studio just to write with them," she recalled to Digital Spy . "We just did one song together. We vocalled the song on that day as we were writing it. I really didn't think any more of it, and then they came back and said they wanted it to be a single."

Gorgon City told Q magazine about this collaboration with Laura Welsh: "We had wanted to work with Laura for a while, she's got an amazing rich vocal quality with her own unique style and not necessarily someone you'd associate with a dance record. Although it sounds like a fairly chilled track, it's one of our biggest tunes to play in our DJ sets."

The Pass Lyrics

Proud swagger out of the schoolyard
Waiting for the world's applause
Rebel without a conscience
Martyr without a cause

Static on your frequency
Electrical storm in your veins
Raging at unreachable glory
Straining at invisible chains

And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge
Staring down into a heartless sea
Can't face life on a razor's edge
Nothings what you thought it would be

All of us get lost in the darkness
Dreamers learn to steer by the stars
All of us do time in the gutter
Dreamers turn to look at the cars
Turn around and turn around and turn around
Turn around and walk the razor's edge
Don't turn your back
And slam the door on me

It's not as if this barricade
Blocks the only road
It's not as if you're all alone
In wanting to explode

Someone set a bad example
Made surrender seem all right
The act of a noble warrior
Who lost the will to fight

And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge
Staring down into a heartless sea
Done with life on a razor's edge
Nothings what you thought it would be

No hero in your tragedy
No daring in your escape
No salutes for your surrender
Nothing noble in your fate
Christ, what have you done?

The Pass

Drummer and lyricist Neil Peart: "There was a lot I wanted to address in that song, and it's probably one of the hardest ones I've ever written. I spent a lot of time on it, refining it, and even more doing research. There was one song previously, called 'Manhattan Project' where I wanted to write about the birth of the nuclear age. Well, easier said than done, especially when [writing] lyrics, you've got a couple of hundred words to say what you want to say. So each word counts, and each word had better be accurate, and so I found in the case of the Manhattan Project, I was having to go back and read histories of the time, histories of the place, biographies of all the people involved, and that's not without its own rewards, but it's a lot of work to go to to write a song - having to read a dozen books and collate all your knowledge and experience just so you can write, you know, if it says the scientists were in the desert sands, well, make sure they were and why, and all that. So with this song it was the same. I felt concerned about it, but, at the same time, I didn't want the classic thing of 'Oh, life's not so bad, you know, it's worth living' and all that. I didn't want one of those pat, kind of clichéd, patronizing statements, so I really worked hard to find out true stories, and among the people that I write to are people who are going to universities, to MIT, and collecting stories from them about people they had known and what they felt, and why the people had taken this desperate step and all of that and trying really hard to understand something that, fundamentally, to me is totally un-understandable. I just can't relate to it at all, but I wanted to write about it. And the facet that I most wanted to write about was to demythologize it - the same as with 'Manhattan Project' - it demythologized the nuclear age, and it's the same thing with this facet - of taking the nobility out of it and saying that yes, it's sad, it's a horrible, tragic thing if someone takes their own life, but let's not pretend it's a hero's end. It's not a triumph. It's not a heroic epic. It's a tragedy, and it's a personal tragedy for them, but much more so for the people left behind, and I really started to get offended by the samurai kind of values that were attached to it, like here's a warrior that felt it was better to die with honor, and all of that kind of offended me. I can understand someone making the choice; it's their choice to make. I can't relate to it, and I could never imagine it, for myself, but still I thought it's a really important thing to try to get down."

Bass player and lead singer Geddy Lee: "There are certain songs, like 'The Pass,' where I felt it was more important to keep the lyrics intact and to build up a musical statement that's born out of the message of the song. In a case like that, I have to do a lot of thinking before a single note is written and I really immerse myself into the song. I mean, if I have to sing Neil's lyrics, I have to feel some sort of relationship with what he's talking about. I have to feel in concert with them in order to make it believable, to myself and to the listener. So there is a lot of conversation that goes down about each song before I start writing melodies."

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

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)

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!

We're a long way home without you

Looking For Something

Nutini wrote this song about his mother Linda, who is his biggest fan. The lyrics of the song include words of wisdom that she would say to Nutini when he was growing up. He explained to The Sun: "I'd already written a song about my dad so owed mum a tune. I think she's just happy that I'm back singing because she gets to go to all the gigs and hotels."

Nobody to Love Lyrics

I know you're tired of loving, of loving
With Nobody to Love, nobody, nobody
So just grab somebody, no leaving this party
With nobody to love, nobody, nobody

I know you're tired of loving, of loving
With nobody to love, nobody, nobody
So just grab somebody, no leaving this party
With nobody to love, nobody, nobody

I know you're tired of loving, of loving
With nobody to love, nobody, nobody
So just grab somebody, no leaving this party
With nobody to love, nobody, nobody

I know you're tired of loving, of loving
With nobody to love, nobody, nobody
So just grab somebody, no leaving this party
With nobody to love, nobody, nobody

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."

This was the first ever drum & bass track to hit 100 million YouTube views.
