Chemistry Lyrics

Signals transmitted
Message received
Reaction making impact
Invisibly

Elemental telepathy
Exchange of energy
Reaction making contact
Mysteriously

Eye-to-I
Reaction burning hotter
Two-to-one
Reflection on the water
H-to-O
No flow without the other
Oh, but how
Do they make contact
With one another?

Electricity, biology?
Seems to me it's Chemistry

Emotion transmitted
Emotion received
Music in the abstract
Positively

Elemental empathy
A change of synergy
Music making contact
Naturally

One, two, three
Add without subtraction
Sound on sound
Multiplied reaction
H-to-O
No flow without the other
Oh, but how
Do we make contact
With one another?

Electricity, biology?
Seems to me it's chemistry

Chemistry

This is basically about how chemistry is defined, precise in it's own nature. When you add one thing to another it's ALWAYS the same. In contrast, when human individuals connect it's always a different outcome.

In a 1986 issue of Guitar for the Practicing Musician, Alex Lifeson said: "Very often the guys will have worked out something musically and made a tape of it for which they have nothing particular in mind. 'Grand Designs,' on the last album, was done that way. They had the musical ideas laid out and just made a little tape for me with guitar, keyboards and drum machine, and I had that. So, again, if I'm stumped on something that I've been working on, I pull out that tape and try to close my mind off for a minute and listen to the tape. 'Chemistry' was a true collaboration between the three of us. The other guys had a couple of key phrases they wanted to express, so they gave me the music. That was easy because all the groundwork was done. Playing with words comes so much easier than having to dream up the whole thing." (thanks, Mike - Mountlake Terrace, Washington, for above 2)

While most Rush songs are written solely by drummer Neil Peart, the lyrics and music on this song are credited to Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart. This is the last song that either Geddy Lee or Alex Lifeson are given credit for lyrics. (thanks, Matthew Daubert - Mequon, WI)

Lantern Lyrics

Lantern

Birds of Tokyo is a five-piece rock band from Perth, Western Australia comprising vocalist Ian Kenny, guitarist Adam Spark, drummer Adam Weston, keyboardist Glenn Sarangapany and bassist Ian Berney. This stadium rock hymnal was their first Top 10 single Down Under, peaking at #3 on the Australian singles chart. It earned the honor of 2013's most-played song on Australian commercial radio receiving 17,400 spins in total.

Speaking with Focus magazine, Ian Berney described this as "a journey song." He explained: "It's the universal story of man acknowledging the point in his life where he's outgrown the world he lives in. It's about forcing oneself to leave the nest, to find new challenges and to grow as individuals. The story reaches an epiphany that whilst we may feel alone when we choose to leave our comfort zones, these greater souls are unified in the quest for new beginnings. 'On we march 'til we meet the dawn, we will light our way with our lanterns on.'"

The band took their name from an article they'd read about the absence of birds in Tokyo because of pollution and overcrowding. "We thought that was interesting, no birds in Tokyo - we thought, we'll be the birds of Tokyo," said Spark.

The Show Must Go On Lyrics

Empty spaces, what are we living for
Abandoned places, I guess we know the score
On and on, does anybody know what we are looking for
Another hero, another mindless crime
Behind the curtain, in the pantomime
Hold the line, does anybody want to take it anymore
The Show Must Go On
The show must go on, yeah
Inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

Whatever happens, I'll leave it all to chance
Another heartache, another failed romance
On and on, does anybody know what we are living for?
I guess I'm learning (I'm learning learning learning)
I must be warmer now
I'll soon be turning (turning turning turning)
Round the corner now
Outside the dawn is breaking
But inside in the dark I'm aching to be free
The show must go on
The show must go on, yeah yeah
Ooh, inside my heart is breaking
My make-up may be flaking
But my smile still stays on

Yeah yeah, whoa wo oh oh

My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairy tales of yesterday will grow but never die
I can fly, my friends
The show must go on (go on, go on, go on) yeah yeah
The show must go on (go on, go on, go on)
I'll face it with a grin
I'm never giving in
On, with the show

Ooh, I'll top the bill, I'll overkill
I have to find the will to carry on
On with the show
On with the show
The show, the show must go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on

The Show Must Go On

Guitarist Brian May wrote this while lead singer Freddie Mercury was dying of AIDS. It was Mercury's last official album with Queen, and when it was released, very few people knew he had the disease.

The lyrics are about the need to press on and make the most out of life while you can still enjoy it. It is inevitably a comment on Mercury's worsening condition, and his attitude towards life - May noted his incredible courage in the Days of our Lives documentary. "He never moaned, he never said 'my life is s--t, this is terrible, I hate it,'" said May. "He had an incredible strength and peace."

The song's placing as the final track on Innuendo is notable, as it's likely that the band thought that this might be the last album Mercury would be healthy enough to perform on before his death. In the sessions, he made enough recordings to provide the band with material to release the posthumous 1995 album Made In Heaven.

This was used in the movie Moulin Rouge. It is performed in an operatic style by Jim Broadbent and Nicole Kidman in a scene that sets up the climax of the movie. (thanks, daphne - Saint John)

In a 2005 poll by digital TV channel Music Choice where 45,000 adults across Europe were asked which song they would like played at their funeral, this was the favorite. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England)

The video is mainly just clips of old Queen videos and a few live performances, but it is so cleverly edited and spliced together that it works as a video of it's own. (thanks, Mjn Seifer - England)

This song was performed in dramatic style in 1997 with Elton John on guest vocals with an Italian ballet trope. It would be John Deacon's last performance with the band, and last public appearance - he retired from music after the performance.

Boys in the Wood

This drunken, bluesy tune is about the Black Lips growing up in Atlanta. Bassist Jared Swilley told Music Feeds it was a tough time for them. "We had public school bussing so there were a lot of black kids that screamed 'cracker' and 'white honky' and would shove your face into the lockers and kick your ass all the time," he recalled. "Basically Boys In The Wood is the white version of Boyz N The Hood. It's not easy being white here."

The Happening Lyrics

Hey! Life, look at me, I can see the reality
'Cause when you shook me, took me outta my world, I woke up
Suddenly I just woke up to The Happening
When you find that you left the future behind
'Cause when you got a tender love you don't take care of
Then you better beware of

The happening
One day you're up, when you turn around
You find your world is tumbling down
It happened to me and it can happen to you

I was sure, I felt secure until love took a detour
Yeah! Riding high on top of the world, it happened
Suddenly it just happened
I saw my dreams torn apart
When love walked away from my heart
And when you lose a precious love you need to guide you
Something happens inside you

The happening
Now I see life for what it is
It's not of dreams, it's not of bliss
It happened to me and it can happen to you
And then it happened
Oo, and then it happened
Oo, and then it happened
Oo, and then it happened

Is it real? Is it fake?
Is this game of life a mistake?
'Cause when I lost the love I thought was mine for certain
Suddenly it starts hurtin'
I saw the light too late when that fickle finger of fate
Yeah! It came and broke my pretty balloon
I woke up, suddenly I just woke up, so sure
I felt secure until love took a detour
'Cause when you got a tender love you don't take care of
Then you better beware of
The happening

The Happening

This song was from the 1967 movie of the same name which starred Anthony Quinn, George Maharis, Michael Parks, Robert Walker Jr., and Faye Dunaway.

The songwriting team of Holland-Dozier-Holland co-wrote this with Frank DeVol. DeVol was the musical director for the film of the same name.

Until 1970, this song was the last hit to be released under the name "The Supremes."

An instrumental version by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass reached US #32 in 1967.

The demo version of this song appears on the 4-CD (and limited edition 5-CD) box set The Supremes, released in 2000. (thanks, Jerro - New Alexandria, PA, for all above)

Shopping Bags (She Got from You) Lyrics

Shopping Bags (She Got from You)

The lead single from The Grind Date is a diatribe about gold-diggers. The beat was supplied by the California-based producer, Madlib, who has also supplied assists on albums by Erykah Badu and Ghostface Killah. His collaboration with rapper MF DOOM, 2004's Madvillainy, was well-received, topping many critics' year-end lists. In addition, Madlib has released several hip hop records under the alter ego of Quasimoto, which are noted for the raised pitch of his voice as if he was inhaling helium.

De La Soul's 1989 debut 3 Feet High and Rising was crucial to Madlib's own development, convincing him to sample from a broader pool of music. "I grew up on them dudes. That album actually changed my production. That's kind of where my whole style for Quasimoto came from," he told Spin magazine.

All Through The Night Lyrics

All Through The Night
I'll be awake and I'll be with you
All through the night
This precious time when time is new
Oh, all through the night today
Knowing that we feel the same without saying

We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends, there is no end

All through the night
Stray cat is crying so stray cat sings back
All through the night
They have forgotten what by day they lack
Oh under those white street lamps
There is a little chance they may see

We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends, there is no end

Oh the sleep in your eyes is enough
Let me be there let me stay there awhile

We have no past, we won't reach back
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end
Keep with me forward all through the night
And once we start the meter clicks
And it goes running all through the night
Until it ends there is no end

All Through The Night

This was written by Jules Shear, who also wrote the Bangles hit "If She Knew What She Wants." He penned the song in England whilst accompanying his wife Pal Shazar, who was playing some gigs with her group Slow Children. Jules recalled to us : "I went over there with a guitar and a little tape recorder and when they went to rehearse I sat there in this house that they rented and wrote that song. I wrote it really quick so I could go out and have fun in London. I was really good at making sure I had time to write songs. I wrote songs in the morning when they would go off and do their rehearsal and if I got done really quick I could mess around in London all day. I didn't even think about the song till I got home."

Lauper was known for her hit "Girls Just Want To Have Fun," which had a quirky video that did very well on MTV. Lauper's producers wanted to find out if she could have a hit without a video, so there is no video for this song.

Greek chanteuse Nana Mouskouri not only did a cover of this song but also recorded versions in French and German. (thanks, Jerro - New Alexandria, PA, for all above)

Jules recorded the original version of the song for his first solo album, Watch Dog, which was produced by Todd Rundgren . Regarding Rundgren's production, Jules told us: "He had an idea that it should have the feel that it had on the record, which I really didn't think was necessarily the best feel, but I thought, well, it's fine. Whatever he wants to do is fine. So I just did it the way Todd wanted to do it."

Shear knew Cyndi Lauper's producer, Rick Chertoff, from his time in the cult favorite band Jules and the Polar Bears. Jules told us that he got to hear the song. "Chertoff thought it was a great song for her," he said "and he played it for her and she really liked it. Then she said, 'I'd like to write songs with that guy.'"
So the pair got together at Jules' manager's apartment in New York, and wrote "I'll Kiss You" for She's So Unusual and "Steady" for Watch Dog.

Jules did all the background vocal parts. He told us that Cyndi had changed the song a great deal by the time they recorded it at the studio, turning what was a mid-tempo folk-rock tune into a pop ballad. "It's still the same song, but the arrangement's different," he recalled. "The first time I heard it was when I went to sing it. It sounded good to me. I figured, if that's the way she wants to do it, that's the way she wants to do it. I never had any problem if anybody wants to do any of my songs any way in particular. That's up to them. That's not for me to decide. So I would never say, 'Oh, that's the wrong way to do it,' or something like that. That would never happen. It just sounded fine to me. And when I put the background vocals on, it sounded even better."

The song was released as the fourth single from She's So Unusual and peaked at #5. It was the first hit that Shear had been involved with a top 10 song and he told us: "Having a hit didn't really change my writing thing at all. I was always pretty disciplined at it. It's a simple thing to write songs and not get involved in the other aspects of it. It doesn't necessarily make you any money, but as long as one of them pops through every once in a while, everything's fine. It's definitely good that Cyndi recorded 'All Through the Night.' It's great that it was a big hit and all that. But I didn't really have much to do with it, except writing the song. I made some money off it. I definitely made money off of it. I bought a house. I'm still making money to this day from it. A certain amount goes into my account every six months. It's not exactly the same, but it doesn't fluctuate that much."

When the song reached #5 in the Hot 100, Lauper became the first woman in the history of the chart to take four singles from the same album to the Top 5.

Ask Yourself Lyrics

Well I've tried to live like the way that you wanted me to
Never needed the proof, just followed the rules
I pick up all the pieces and I move my feet as fast as I can
I'm always falling behind, just float in the lines
You want more and ambition's taken its toll on you
Well hey your confidence is fading with your youth

And you say that dreamers always get what they desire
Well I've found, the more I want the less I've got
Is this the life you've been waiting for?
Or are you hoping that you'll be where you want with a little more?

You're coughing blood again
I know 'cause I clean up the mess every now and then
Fold the line along the seam
Force a smile and never say what you mean
In the promised land in someone else's dream
If you want more and you'll get there
Throw a quarter in the well
It's okay, you're fine, ambition's not a crime

And you say that dreamers always get what they desire
Well I've found, that the more I want the less I've got
Is this the life you've been waiting for
Or are you hoping that you'll be where you want with a little more?
Well Ask Yourself

Is this the life you've been waiting for, well ask yourself
Is this the life you've been waiting for, well ask yourself
Is this the life you've been waiting for,
You hoping that you'll be where you want with a little more
Well ask yourself
Is this the life you've been waiting for,
You hoping that you'll be where you want with a little more
Well ask yourself

Ask Yourself

Over acoustic guitar and fuzzy synth bass, this song finds Mark Foster posing the question, "Is this the life you've been waiting for?"

It was a query that was very much been playing on the frontman's mind after a whirlwind couple of years following the band's breakthrough. "When we stopped touring and I stopped charging forward, I was able to process everything," he explained to The Independent. "I was able to feel things. I just had a lot of questions… I was not at ease with myself, even though, in a sense, I was where I'd wanted to be after so many years of trying."

Subdivisions Lyrics

Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
In-between the bright lights
And the far, unlit unknown

Growing up, it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass-production zone

Nowhere is the dreamer
Or the misfit so alone

Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out

Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth

Drawn like moths, we drift into the city
The timeless old attraction
Cruising for the action
Lit up like a firefly
Just to feel the living night

Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight

Somewhere out of a memory
Of lighted streets on quiet nights

Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
Subdivisions
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out

Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth

Subdivisions

This song is about how narrow-minded and judgmental people can get when they are confined to certain groups - a common occurrence in the suburbs. This is spelled out in the chorus:

Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out

It tells of how when you don't meet a certain standard you are basically shunned. (thanks, Chris - Bradenton, FL)

Rush's drummer/lyricist Neil Peart said this song is "an exploration of the background from which all of us (and probably most of our audience) have sprung.'"

Peart grew up reading adventure stories and science fiction, which for him were an escape from the confines of suburbia. As he got older, he took full advantage of his freedom, embracing travel and exploring other cultures.

Mark Dailey, evening newscaster and "The Voice" of Toronto television station City-TV and also MuchMusic, is the voice that repeats the chorus line "Subdivisions."

This song marked a turning point for Neil Peart, whose early Rush lyrics were based in fantasy. "I didn't believe yet that I could put something real into a song," he told Rolling Stone. "'Subdivisions' happened to be an anthem for a lot of people who grew up under those circumstances, and from then on, I realized what I most wanted to put in a song was human experience."

Seasons (Waiting On You) Lyrics

Seasons change, and I tried hard just to soften you
The seasons change, but I've grown tired of tryin' to change for you
Because I've been waiting on you
I've been waiting on you
Because I've been waiting on you
I've been waiting on you

As it breaks, the summer awaits
But the winter washed whats left of the taste
As it breaks, the summer awaits
But the winter craved whats lost
Crave whats all gone away

People change, even though some people never do
You know when people change
They gain a piece but they lose one too
Because I’ve been hanging on you
I’ve been waiting on you
Because I've been waiting on you
I've been hanging on you

As it breaks, the summer awaits
But the winter washed whats left of the taste
As it breaks, the summer awaits
But the winter craved whats lost
Crave whats all
Crave whats all gone away

'Cause I've been waiting on you

Seasons (Waiting On You)

Vocalist Samuel T Herring explained this song's meaning to Uncut magazine: "It's a song about the human experience," he said. "It's about love, letting go, learning from your mistakes and always feeling that pull – yearning for a certain love, as time goes by in seasons change."

Future Islands made their network television debut on March 3, 2014, when they performed this song on The Late Show with David Letterman. Letterman shouted "I'll take all of that you got!" following the band's passionate performance, creating a meme along the way.

"I remember before the show, looking at some of the previous Letterman performances online and how many views they got, and I was like, 'Oh that's cool, 5,000 views or so!'" Herring recalled to Billboard magazine. "None of us own TVs, and it's been forever since we watched a late show. We didn't really expect that it would become something, because nobody thought that performance would get that reaction."

Herring told Billboard magazine the story of the song. "I called the guys the day after we wrote it, probably jammed the tune out in an hour and a half," he recalled. "I went home and took a recording I had made on my computer, wrote the song in 30 minutes by chopping it up and then called the guys and was like, 'This is the best song we've ever written.'"

"Of course, by the time we wrote the rest of the songs (on the album), I was like, 'Maybe it's not the best song we've ever written," Herring added. "I love these other songs too.'"

Time Out magazine chose this as their best song of 2014. They said: "A stunning lovelorn lament, inescapably drenched in experience, 'Seasons' was confirmation that music could still be moving, that bands could still break through after years of toil and that in a tough year, the rock 'n' roll dream wasn't totally dead after all."

The song sums up a tumultuous two-and-a-half year relationship. Herring told NME: "I was trying to get her to change so that she would love me the way I wanted to be loved. And I tried to change too, until I realized that you can't do that. That's just one of those tragedies of love: it's not always going to work out, even if there is something there."

Herring explained the song's meaning. "Seasons was an idea to explain the passage of time in a rocky relationship," he said. "It means as the winter falls apart, by the summer we'll feel love again. Then, as the winter comes, it will get rid of those things we're holding onto."

Viva Forever Lyrics

(Ahhhhh) (ah)
Do you still remember, how we used to be
Feeling together, believing whatever
My love has said to me
Both of us were dreamers
Young love in the sun
Felt like my saviour, my spirit I gave you
We'd only just begun
Hasta mañana, always be mine
Viva Forever, I'll be waiting
Everlasting, like the sun
Live forever, for the moment
Ever searching for the one
Yes I still remember, every whispered word
The touch of your skin, giving life from within
Like a love song that I'd heard
Slippin' through our fingers, like the sands of time
Promises made, every memory saved
Has reflections in my mind
Hasta mañana, always be mine
Viva forever, I'll be waiting
Everlasting, like the sun
Live forever, for the moment
Ever searching for the one
(Ahhhhh)
Back where I belong now, was it just a dream
Feelings unfold, they will never be sold
And the secret's safe with me
Hasta mañana, always be mine
Viva forever (viva forever), I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting)
Everlasting (everlasting), like the sun (like the sun)
Live forever (live forever), for the moment (for the moment)
Ever searching (ever searching) for the one (for the one)
Viva forever (viva forever), I'll be waiting
Everlasting, like the sun

Parallel Lyrics

Counting stars, laying in the grass
Side by side, your head on my shoulder
We talk a lot about nothing much
With every breath we are getting closer

Parallel, in this universe
Do we light up our hearts just to watch them burn?
Parallel, I will cross the lines
Cause maybe tonight… the stars align!

The stars align!

What if the one who was meant for you
Was all along right in front of you
Just didn’t see it, it was there all the time
Yeah, feel it tonight, yeah, the stars align

The stars align

I take the thoughts out of your mind
And put the pieces into my puzzle
Everything I wanna say about you
Is more than enough to write a novel

Parallel in this universe
Do we light up our hearts just to watch them burn?
Parallel, I will cross the lines
Cause maybe tonight the stars align

The stars align

What if the one who was meant for you
Was all along right in front of you
Just didn’t see it, it was there all the time
Yeah, feel it tonight, yeah, the stars align

I’d throw a rope around the moon
And pull it close whatever it takes to be with you
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight the stars align

The stars align!

What if the one who was meant for you
Was all along right in front of you
Just didn’t see it, it was there all the time
Yeah, feel it tonight, yeah, the stars align

The stars align
The stars align

Parallel

Heffron Drive was formed by vocalist Kendall Schmidt and guitarist Dustin Belt in 2008 after the pair met each other by chance. The duo came up with their moniker after realizing they lived on the same street in Burbank, California - Heffron Drive. After a short period Kendall joined Big Time Rush and Dustin played as the touring guitarist. They revived the project in 2013, after the last Big Time Rush show was completed.

Kendall explained the song's meaning: "It's about two people who are made for one another," he said. "They are always around each other, walking in parallel lines, but never seem to meet up. The song asks, what if one day, the stars finally align and their paths cross."

"I've always been a hopeless romantic and often wonder if I have already met the person I'm going to end up with," Kendall added.
