Hollywood Nights Lyrics

She stood there bright as the sun
On that California coast
He was a Midwestern boy on his own
She looked at him with those soft eyes
So innocent and blue
He knew right then he was too far from home
He was too far from home
She took his hand and she led him along that golden beach
They watched the waves tumble over the sand
They drove for miles and miles
Up those twisting turning roads
Higher and higher and higher they climbed

And those Hollywood Nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
Oh those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of her skills

He'd headed west cause he felt that a change would do him good
See some old friends, good for the soul
She had been born with a face
That would let her get her way
He saw that face and he lost all control
He had lost all control
Night after night
Day after day
It went on and on
Then came that morning he woke up alone
He spent all night staring down at the lights on LA
Wondering if he could ever go home

And those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
It was giving him chills
In those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
With a passion that kills

In those Hollywood nights
In those Hollywood hills
She was looking so right
In her diamonds and frills
Oh those big city nights
In those high rolling hills
Above all the lights
She had all of her skills

Hollywood Nights

Seger: "The chorus to this song came into my head one night in 1977 as I was driving through the Hollywood Hills. Our drummer, David Teegarden, played an entire set of drums as we recorded and overdubbed another entire set of drums playing a different pattern. In other words, there's two sets of everything: snare, kick-drum, hi-hat, etc. Billy Payne (of Little Feat) sat in with us for the first time and played the last two instruments, piano and organ. When he was done, he asked for a tape to listen to on the way home. he called me the next day while he had been listening, he looked down and found himself going 100 miles an hour on the freeway."

After All Lyrics

After All

The third single from Ed Bruce's You're Not Leaving Here Tonight album, this peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. Bruce wrote the song with his then wife and manager Patsy. The pair were frequent collaborators and are best known for penning Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson's hit single "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys."

The song finds the elderly narrator serenely reflecting back on a lifelong marriage:

"After all these years after all the joys and tears
After all is said and done after most of everything we knew is gone
I still love you."

Unlike the narrator and his wife, the Bruces' marriage didn't make the distance. After 22 years together, Ed filed for divorce on July 27, 1987 charging Patsy with "cruel and inhuman treatment."

On January 28, 2004 Bruce sung "After All" and "The Last Cowboy Song" on the CBS variety show Hee Haw.

Johnny Cash recorded the song and his version can be found on his 2014 posthumous album Out Among the Stars, which was produced by his son John Carter Cash.

Carter Cash told Billboard magazine: "This was a very different song for Johnny Cash to sing. The melody is pretty unique for him, I can't think of any other song of this type he ever recorded, the range is so extensive. He always had a way to know if a song could work, he had a way to make it his own."

Warning Sign Lyrics

A Warning Sign
I missed the good part, then I realized
I started looking and the bubble burst
I started looking for excuses
Come on in
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign

When the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
That I miss you so

A warning sign
It came back to haunt me, and I realized
That you were an island and I passed you by
When you were an island to discover
Come on in
I've gotta tell you what a state I'm in
I've gotta tell you in my loudest tones
That I started looking for a warning sign

When the truth is
I miss you
Yeah the truth is
I miss you so
And I'm tired
I should not have let you go

Oooooooo

So I crawl back into your open arms
Yes I crawl back into your open arms
And I crawl back into your open arms
Yes I crawl back into your open arms

Warning Sign

This song is about a man who is "Looking for excuses," or reasons to leave his lover. He is afraid of commitment and looks for warning signs that will tell him he should leave. After looking for "Warning Signs" he realizes that he misses his lover and he took her for granted ("you were an island and I passed you by"). Luckily, she is willing to come back as you can see in the line, "So I crawl back into your open arms." (thanks, Ayanna - Chicago, IL)

During an episode of VH1's Storytellers series, guitarist Jon Buckland said he labored for more than a year trying to come up with a part to play in this song. "I wound up playing maracas on the recording," he said with a laugh.

So Anxious

This Static Major penned song finds Ginuwine anxiously waiting on his lover all night to come home and have sex with him.

The third single released from the singer's 100% Ginuwine album, it became his most successful song to that date, peaking at #16 on the Hot 100 and helping the LP reach double platinum status. However Ginuwine admitted to Billboard magazine that he initially was not in favour of its release. "I was really scared of it because it was so slow and I was singing really hard and really high. I was nervous about how it would be received by the public," he said.

"But my management at the time, Jomo Hankerson, he actually picked that one and said 'This is the one to go with,'" Ginuwine added. "We went with it and thank God he was right."

The music video was directed by Chris Robinson and featured an appearance by rapper Solé. Ginuwine began dating Solé soon after the promo was filmed and they wed in 2003.

See you lost your trust and you never should have, you never should have.
Don't break your back if you ever see this.
Don't answer that.
In a bullet proof vest with the windows all closed
I'll be doing my best
I'll See You Soon.
In a telescope lens when all you want is friends
I'll see you soon.

See, they came for you they came snapping at your heels, they came snapping at your heels.
Don't break your back if you ever see this.
Don't answer that.
In a bullet proof vest with the windows all closed
I'll be doing my best
I'll see you soon.
In a telescope lens when all you want is friends
I'll see you soon.

You lost your trust
You lost your trust
No don't lose your trust
No don't lose your trust

See You Soon

This is about insecurity. The line, "So you lost your trust and you never should have" states that the person was so insecure that there was no reason to lose trust. Then he says, "Don't break your back if you ever hear this, don't answer that," meaning not to fret - time will do it's thing if you just think and listen. The line, "In a bulletproof vest, with the windows all closed, I'll be doing my best and I'll see you soon" means that the person protects themselves, not letting anyone in. The other person will be doing their best, seeing them soon when the insecure person has gained trust. (thanks, David - Huntington Beach, CA)

Final Warning/Interlude

This duet with Aaliyah was the only track on 100% Ginuwine with a featured guest. Ginuwine told Billboard magazine: "I was never really into doing features, but if I was going to do one it was going to be with her. We had the same management team; were under the same umbrella."

"I remember that day we were just having fun and playing around like we usually would do," he continued. "We did the song in like an hour, but we kept going all day because we were just talking and joking. I'll never forget that day. I'm really lucky that I got to have her on my CD and that that will live on forever. I'll always be grateful for that."

"I actually wrote 'Miss You' for her back then," Ginuwine added. "It didn't get put on her next album, but after she passed it got released on the compilation album [I Care 4 U]. I was really happy about that."

Jimmy: "This song was written as a piece of total satire when I did my first album in Nashville. I was hearing a lot of suggestive country songs - in particular, Conway Twitty's "Lets Go All The Way." I figured I would write a song that would leave no doubt in anybody's mind. I thought back to a late-night in an Atlanta diner where I was eating and watched this out-of-focus business man trying to pick up a hooker. That's all the inspiration I needed."

Two Sides to a Story Lyrics

I ran into some girls who knew you today
They tried to tell me some things
But I know there's always Two Sides to a Story

I don't give a damn about what others say
They just can't see you gettin' close to me
I don't give a damn about what happened before me
There's always two sides to a story

I don't give a damn about what others say
They just don't want you gettin' close to me (No, no, no)
I don't really care about what happened before me
There's always two sides to a story (First verse)

I don't understand why it's happening
And I'm tryin' to ignore the things I hear
People saying things all up in my ear
And I'm wondering is it the truth I fear

You don't need to explain, 'cause baby, I don't care
Whatever happened then was then, then was then
All that really matters, girl, that it's you and me
Whatever was then is gone, we can't change it now

I don't give a damn about what others say (Oh)
They just can't see you gettin' close to me (Close to me, yeah)
I don't give a damn about what happened before me
There's always two sides to a story (There's always two sides to a
story, mmm, hmm)

I don't give a damn about what others say (Mmm, no)
They just don't want you gettin' close to me (They don't want you
gettin' close to me, no)
I don't really care about what happened before me
There's always two sides to a story (Mmm, hmm)

Met some others girls and they started tellin' me
How you used to carry on back then with them
And they tried to tell me things like you ain't changed one bit
But they ain't there to see the things I see

You don't need to explain, I just want you to know
It starts from now and not back then, then was then
All that really matters, girl, that it's you and me
Whatever was did, it's gone, it's history

I don't give a damn about what others say (I don't give a damn)
They just can't see you gettin' close to me (See you gettin' close)
I don't give a damn about what happened before me
There's always two sides to a story (There's always two sides to a
story)

I don't give a damn about what others say (Yes, it is)
They just don't want you gettin' close to me (Want you gettin' close)
I don't really care about what happened before me (Baby, can you tell me
one thing)
There's always two sides to a story (Can we go)

On and on and on and on and on and on and on
Can we go on and on and on and on and on and on
Can we go on and on and on and on and on and on
Can we go on and on and on and on and on and on

I don't give a damn about what others say (No)
They just can't see you gettin' close to me
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
I don't give a damn about what happened before me (Mmm, hmm)
There's always two sides to a story (There's always two sides)

I don't give a damn about what others say (There's always two sides)
They just don't want you gettin' close to me (No, no, no, no, no)
I don't really care about what happened before me (I don't give a damn)
There's always two sides to a story ('Cause there's always two sides to
a story, baby)

I don't give a damn about what others say
(Oh...they don't want you getting close to me)
I don't give a damn about what happened before me
(No, I don't give a damn what happened before me)

I don't give a damn about what others say
(No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
I don't really care about what happened before me (I don't give a damn,
no, no, no)
There's always two sides to a story (All I know is that I love you,
darlin')

I don't give a damn about what others say (Mmm)
They just can't see you gettin' close to me (All I know is that I need
you)
I don't give a damn about what happened before me
There's always two sides to a story (Oh, I don't care about what
happened before me, baby)

I don't give a damn about what others say
(They're just jealous of you and they want your place)
I don't really care about what happened before me (No, no)
There's always two sides to a story (No, no)

Two Sides to a Story

Much of 100% Ginuwine deals with the various dramas that can challenge a relationship. Billboard magazine asked the singer what was going on in his personal life at the time? He replied: "I was dating a lot of different girls [laughs]! You know, when you have a platform like we have you express those life situations and put them into song form for other people to appreciate. You become an open book when you're a writer and a singer because where else are you going to grab from? So everything on 100% is pretty much what I was going through at the time or wanted to go through."

He continued: "'Two Sides to a Story,' for example, was a song I wrote because there were some girls saying this and that and the other thing about a girl I was seeing."

Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away)

This is about wanting to leave the town you are stuck in. You just want to leave and get away from everything being the same day after day. When you finally find someone to drive you (or you drive them), you just want them to be quiet in order to enjoy the moment of leaving. You can also interpret it as wanting to leave as a result of doing something bad, such as getting a girl pregnant or using drugs. You just want to get away from your problems, but it has to be quiet so you can think about what's going on in your life. (thanks, Tim - Pittsburgh, PA)

Album: Singing Bones

Far From Any Road Lyrics

Far From Any Road

The Handsome Family are an Alternative Country husband-and-wife duo comprising Brett and Rennie Sparks. This Southern gothic tune was selected for the theme song for True Detective by the show's music director, T Bone Burnett. Though it fits in nicely with the HBO crime drama's themes, the song has actually been around 2003, when it was a track on The Handsome Family's Singing Bones album. "People keep asking us how we managed to write such a perfect song to open True Detective," said Rennie Sparks. "They complement us on all the various connections to the storyline we've managed to include and how perfectly our song emotionally sets the pace for each episode. They think I'm lying when I say that the song was written long before the TV show was a spark of an idea. Maybe time really is a flat circle."

Songwriter and co-vocalist Rennie Sparks was surprised at the song's prominent placing in True Detective. "They contacted us a year ago," she said, "to use the song for 30 seconds as as interrogation scene. We knew nothing until the show premiered. Brett saw that opening sequence and hit himself so hard he bruised his legs."

This was used as the opening song for Guns n' Roses' 2014 world tour.

Written by Rennie Sparks just after the duo had moved from Chicago to Albuquerque, New Mexico, the song is a hymn to the majesty and darkness of the desert. She explained to Uncut magazine: "Here we have a lot of jimson weed. It's a horrible hallucinogenic and poisonous. During the day these bugs just look like a little pile of weeds, but at night, as soon as the moon comes up, you see these enormous white trumpets appearing from them. They always grow in the strangest places, on the sides of highways or in abandoned lots."

"There is a special kind of moth that comes out at night that has a beak like a hummingbird and it goes and sits down that trumpet," she continued. "It's very sexy. In June, they suddenly appear en masse and that each as big as a hummingbird. Then a month later, they're all gone."

"I wrote the lyrics for 'Far From Any Road' inspired by all this," she added, "then I probably told Brett I had some ideas for the music that he ignored!"

Brett Sparks added something like 11 castanets to the mix. He explained to Uncut: "I knew that I wanted Latin percussion. If you listen to the first measure of (Miles Davis and Gil Evans') Sketches of Spain, it has this beautiful sound of a chorus of castanets, it sounds like cicadas, like the Spanish night. I just loved it, so obviously I wanted to steal it (laughs). And that's a perfect way to create the frame for that song, for the place the song lives – the desert, at night."

"So I listened to that over and over, trying to figure out how they got that sound," Sparks continued. "You just have a bunch of people barring of castanets at random, so I did the same on pro-tools. They're always moving around, going down in the mix and coming up at different points. I went crazy with the percussion, there's cowbell and guoro too. Obviously, the classical guitars are evocative of the desert too."

"Then I tried a trumpet on a keyboard and was like 'That's cool,'" he added. "So I told my friend David McChesney that I needed to find a trumpet player and he was like, 'Oh, I can do it...'"

Teach Your Children Lyrics

You who are on the road
Must have a code that you can live by
And so become yourself
Because the past is just a good-bye.
Teach Your Children well,
Their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you.

And you, of tender years,
Can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth,
They seek the truth before they can die.

Teach your parents well,
Their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picks, the one you'll know by.

Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

Teach Your Children

Graham Nash wrote this. The lyrics deal with the often difficult relationship he had with his father, who spent time in prison.

Jerry Garcia performs the pedal steel guitar part of this track. He had been playing steel guitar for only a short period of time. Garcia played on this album in exchange for harmony lessons for the Grateful Dead, who were at the time recording their acoustic albums Workingman's Dead and American Beauty. (thanks, Scott - Richmond, VA)

Graham Nash (from the liner notes of their 1991 boxed set): "The idea is that you write something so personal that every single person on the planet can relate to it. Once it's there on vinyl it unfolds, outwards, so that it applies to almost any situation. 'Teach' started out as a slightly funky English folk song but Stephen (Stills) put a country beat to it and turned it into a hit record."

Deja Vu was the first album the band recorded with Neil Young, but Young did not play on this.

Mi Morena Lyrics

And so my love
From my window I can see
A beautiful vision
And when the music plays
Your body rises like a bird of grace

[Chorus]
Mi Morena
I saw you dancing in the rain
Holy water
Shining like a silver flame
Come like a ghost
I will watch you dance alone
Mi morena
You're the light within my soul

And so my love
The way you're moving in your dress
To a nylon guitar
On wings of silk and lace
You lift upon the notes and slip away

[Chorus]

Take this cross of feathers and bone
Take this heart I've carved into stone
In your name

Where the setting sun surrenders to the moon
Mi querida
I will wait for you

[Chorus]

Mi morena
Hold your hands out to the light
Be my lover
I will fall into your eyes
Sweet fire of love
For you I'd steal the stars
'Cause I adore you
O my morena

Mi Morena

This song was written by Martin Page, who co-wrote the Starship song "We Built This City" and Heart's hit "These Dreams." He also had a solo hit in 1994 with "In the House of Stone and Light."

"Morena" is an affectionate Spanish term for a dark-haired girl. Page came across the word when he was reading a poem by Pablo Neruda, who is Chilean. The book he was reading the poems from had the original Spanish text on one page and their English translations on the other. When he saw "Morena," he thought it made a beautiful sound and wrote a story around it. Said Page: "It's such a romantic song, and I love brunette ladies, so I thought, 'This is going to be a Pablo Neruda song.' The whole song is influenced by reading all of his love poetry and just feeling how Neruda gets so under the skin with his love songs. It's not corny; it's rusty and deep and dark and bloody. And as soon as I knew that 'Mi Morena' meant 'My dark one,' I wrote it as an ode to a brunette and somebody watching somebody from afar dance." (Here's our full Martin Page interview .)

Martin Page, who wrote this song, also played all the instruments on the track except for the nylon guitar, which was performed by Brian Fairweather, who was in a band with Page in the '80s called Q-Feel. The track was mixed by Mike Shipley, who had worked with Page and Fairweather since their Q-Feel days.

This became a live favorite for Groban. He performed it at two concerts in September, 2004 at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, which were compiled into a CD/DVD set called Josh Groban: Live at the Greek.

Martin Page released his own version of this song in 2008 on his second album, In the Temple of the Muse.
