High Hopes Lyrics

Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun

Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before times took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
When friends surrounded
The nights of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some sleeping tide
At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

Forever and ever

High Hopes

This was the first song written for the album and yet the last one finished.

Within the song, Dave Gilmour's son Charlie hangs up the telephone on Pink Floyd manager Steve O'Rourke. (thanks, Mike - Mountlake Terrace, Washington, for above 2)

Nightwish covered this song on their 2005 compilation album Highest Hopes. They also played it at their final concert of the Once Tour, which was released on the DVD End Of An Era. (thanks, Bella - Pretoria)

The title of Pink Floyd's 2014 album The Endless River previously appeared as part of the closing lyric on this song, which was the last single released from The Division Bell. Gilmour explained to BBC Radio 6 Music's Matt Everitt that naming 'The Endless River' after the line suggested, "some sort of continuum" connecting the two records, since they both came from the same sessions.

I Can't Stand The Rain Lyrics

I Can't Stand The Rain 'gainst my window
Bringing back sweet memories
Hey windowpane, do you remember?
How sweet it used to be

When we was together
Everything was so grand
Now that we've parted
There's just one sound that I just can't stand

I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
'Cause he's not here with me

Alone with the pillow
Where his head used to lay
I know you've got some sweet memories
But like a window you ain't got nothin' to say

I can't stand the rain 'gainst my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Just keeps on haunting me
Hey rain, get off my window
Because he's not here my me

I Can't Stand The Rain

This steamy heartbreaker is about a woman who can't stand the sound of rain against her window, since it reminds her of her lost love (note the double meaning of window pane/pain in the lyric).

The African American singer-songwriter Ann Peebles wrote the song with her husband, Don Bryant, and the radio broadcaster Bernard "Bernie" Miller. The number originated from an offhand comment made by the singer when the threesome were preparing to head out to a Blues show one evening and it began tipping down with rain. "It was pouring outside and I just said, I can't stand this rain," recalled Peebles to Mojo magazine March 2014. "And I think it was Don who perked up: 'That's a good title.' We sat down and began to write. We started writing and forgot all about the rain."

The dramatic raindrop intro was provided by an electronic timbale, which was newly installed in the studio. It was an unusual choice, as Pop songs generally evoked rain via pizzicato violins in those days.

A Disco version of this song was an international hit for Eruption in 1978. Eruption was a British-based American R&B act who were taken under the wing of Boney M's producer Frank Farian. He signed the group with Germany-based Hansa Records in 1977 and they covered this song for their first album. It became the group's biggest hit, peaking at #18 in the US and #5 in the UK.

Tina Turner recorded the song for her 1984 Private Dancer album. Released as a single, it found minor success in the US and UK, but sold well in continental Europe, reaching the Top 10 in Germany and France.

The chorus of Missy Elliott's 1997 debut single "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" is based around this song.

This was one of John Lennon's favorite tunes. In a Billboard magazine article he commented, "It's the best song ever."

Well I'm not there all the time you know
Some people, some people, some people,

Sugar

System Of A Down's first single, this song is most likely about a person dealing with the disease AIDS.

The video makes reference to the artificial sweetener Aspartame. Aspartame has been linked to people having uncontrollable homicidal tendencies, and an increase in the numbers of brain tumors as suggested in the report by the World Health Organization. In the video, the words 'Aspartame kills' pop up briefly. In the lyrics Serj makes reference to violence: 'My girlfriend she lashes out sometimes and then I just f*cking kick her then baby, she's ok.' (thanks, Hubert - Portsmouth, UK)

Brand New Day Lyrics

These streets are like an ol' jean jacket
Feels good anytime
What have I been waiting for?
It's high time that I dust off the magic
Put my face back in the crowd
And find somebody new

My phone used to ring but I just wasn't ready
The smell of the smoke and the tunes too heavy
One memory would tear down the levy
But tonight I don't feel a thing

Finally, yeah, I've made it through the rebound
The past ain't dragging me down
I'm back to who I was before you
On a perfect night
There's no telling where or what I might
Find before the morning light
Starts a Brand New Day

Even that autumn air feels sweeter
Filling up my chest
There's a comfort in the cold
And somehow the taste of these Budweiser's
Fit just like a friend
They welcome me to lean

Yeah, you live and you learn and you try to do better
She wanted to go and I finally let her
But broken hearts like wood will splinter
Tonight I don't feel a thing

Finally, yeah, I've made it through the rebound
The past ain't dragging me down
I'm back to who I was before you
On a perfect night
There's no telling where or what I might
Find before the morning light
Starts a brand new day

Finally, yeah, I've made it through the rebound
The past ain't dragging me down
I'm back to who I was before you
On a perfect night
There's no telling where or what I might
Find before the morning light
Starts a brand new day

Yeah, starts a brand new day
Yeah, you live and you learn
You live and you learn and you try to do better
She wanted to go
Just trying to be better

My phone used to ring but I just wasn't ready
The smell of the smoke and the tunes too heavy
One memory would tear down the levy
Just like a friend

Yeah, you live and you learn and you try to do better
She wanted to go and I finally let her
Yeah, I finally let her go

To sit while you pray no one's blaming me I'm

But we are always in repair

And it's good to know that you'll drive away
From this car crash nightmare and

No danger we're just killing time
Again until they order up new parts

In Repair

This is based on the ideas and writings of futurist author Ray Kurzweil, who writes about AI (artificial intelligence) and its place in human society. Kurzweil suggests that the AI machines will "embody human qualities, claim to be human, and we will believe them." Kurzweil's voice opens the beginning of the song.

Kurzweil's book Spiritual Machines is where the band got the name for this album. The book was suggested by then guitarist Mike Turner. (thanks, Lorne - Toronto, Canada, for above 2)

Transmitting Live from Mars

The original concept behind De La Soul was that Mase was PA and Posdnuos and Dove were the microphone plugs, transmitting messages from Mars. The idea was quickly abandoned but was used for the title of this short skit.

The short interlude is basically a French language lesson merged with a loop culled from The Turtles "You Showed Me" and Wilson Pickett's version of "Hey Jude." Posdnous recalled to Rolling Stone: "My pops had this 45 - I don't know why he had this record - it was this French instructional record. I thought it would sound cool with this Wilson Pickett cover of 'Hey Jude,' and then Paul had the Turtles record ['You Showed Me'], so he said let's put that with it, so we just added it all together."

The Turtles sample resulted in a $1.7 million copyright-infringement lawsuit that was eventually settled out of court. The legal action also set a precedent, which stymied Hip-Hop's methods of production. The new laws delayed a number of albums, including the trio's follow-up, De La Soul is Dead. When the record was finally released it was stripped of many samples and struggled to repeat the success of 3 Feet High.

Changes Lyrics

Changes

Ozzy's group Black Sabbath recorded this in 1972 for their album Vol. 4. Kelly is Ozzy's daughter, and when they recorded it as a duet, they changed some of the lyrics to make it about a father and daughter drifting apart.

This came out around the time Ozzy crashed his ATV. He was badly hurt, but the publicity from the accident helped this song do very well in the UK.

This was not the first father/daughter collaboration to top the UK charts. Frank and Nancy Sinatra reached #1 with "Somethin' Stupid" in 1967.

For the original 1972 version, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi stayed up all night snorting cocaine and learning piano while the band was in LA recording Vol. 4. Ozzy came in and heard the piano part that Iommi had written, and liked it. Ozzy started singing and, on the final recorded version, Geezer played the mellotron.

The song was covered by American soul singer Charles Bradley in 2013 as a Record Store Day single and later became the title track and cornerstone of his third album.

Bradley told Noisey why he likes the track so much. "That song is very emotional to me. I didn't want to learn that song, I used to sing it lyric by lyric. But when I listened to the whole song, the story of the song it made me think about talking with my mother, bonding.
I'd come home from tour… and I'm the only one out of her boys that she'd let come in and jump in the bed with her, and we'd sit there and talk. She'd tell me a lot of things about her.

The last 12 years of her life, she actually told me things that got me stronger. She told me 'I was trying to tell it to all y'all kids, but y'all didn't listen to me.' I'm glad I took the open heart and said let bygones be bygones and let's get to know each other."

Real Life (Angel) Lyrics

If you wake in the quake in the roll of the heartbroken
Pounding the ground in a sawn off ballet
Bring us in an indigo dawn with the lovelorn and renegade

You always found peace in the grip of the beat, darling
Time alone with the pounding of your heart
As it starts to heal you'll find a better mirror in another

You have never known dumbfounded
So out of reach and hollowed through
Blue and white the light and sound surrounded
As the music pulls you through
And on that hallelujah morning
In the arms of new love, the peace that you feel's real life

Go straight to the place where you first lost your balance
And find your feet with the people that you love
And bring us in an indigo dawn with the lovelorn and renegade
Yes you were the eyes of a men not forgotten
Get hold of the night that rises in your blood
Focus on your pulse, focus on your breath, know that we're never far away

You have never known dumbfounded
So out of reach and hollowed through
Blue and white the light and sound surrounded
As the music pulls you through
And on that hallelujah morning
In the arms of new love, the peace that you feel's real life

Angel
Angel
Angel
Angel

You with the eyes of the men not forgotten
You with the eyes for the lonely whoever
You with the life that could bring down a tenement
Talking your way through the hearts of the citadel
Up on the tables, or shoulders of strangers, or
Under my arms we add to the waterfall
My little sister with blazing common
You'll never need fear a thing in this world while
I have a breath in me; blood in my veins
You'll never need fear thing in this world while
I have a breath in me; blood in my veins
You never need fear a thing in this blue world

You have never known dumbfounded
So out of reach and hollowed through
Blue and white the light and sound surrounded
As the music pulls you through
And on that hallelujah morning
In the arms of new love, the peace that you feel's real life

Same Old Lang Syne Lyrics

Met my old lover in the grocery store
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
I stood behind her in the frozen foods
And I touched her on the sleeve

She didn't recognize the face at first
But then her eyes flew open wide
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
And we laughed until we cried

We took her groceries to the check out stand
The food was totaled up and bagged
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
As the conversation lagged

We went to have ourselves a drink or two
But couldn't find an open bar
We bought a six-pack at the liquor store
And we drank it in her car

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

She said she's married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would have liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie

I said the years had been a friend to her
And that her eyes were still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I saw
Doubt or gratitude

She said she saw me in the record stores
And that I must be doing well
I said the audience was heavenly
But the traveling was Hell

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how

We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving, in our eloquence
Another "Auld Lang Syne"

The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away

Just for a moment I was back at school
And felt that old familiar pain
And, as I turned to make my way back home
The snow turned into rain

Same Old Lang Syne

As Fogelberg tells it on his official website, the song is totally autobiographical. He was visiting family back home in Peoria, Illinois in the mid-'70s when he ran into an old girlfriend at a convenience store.

After Fogelberg's death from prostate cancer in 2007, the woman who he wrote the song about came forward with her story. Her name is Jill Greulich, and she and Fogelberg dated in high school when she was Jill Anderson. As she explained to the Peoria Journal Star in a December 22, 2007 article, they were part of the Woodruff High School class of 1969, but went to different colleges. After college, Jill got married and moved to Chicago, and Dan went to Colorado to pursue music. On Christmas Eve, they were each back in Peoria with their families when Jill went out for egg nog and Dan was dispatched to find whipping cream for Irish coffee. The only place open was a convenience store at the top of Abington Hill, at Frye Avenue and Prospect Road, and that's where they had their encounter. They bought a six pack of beer and drank it in her car for two hours while they talked.

Five years later, Jill heard "Same Old Lang Syne" on the radio while driving to work, but she kept quiet about it, as Fogelberg also refused to reveal her identity. Her main concern was that coming forward would disrupt Fogelberg's marriage.

Looking at the lyrics, Jill says there are two inaccuracies: She has green eyes, not blue, and her husband was not an architect - he was a physical education teacher, and it's unlikely Fogelberg knew his profession anyway. Regarding the line, "She would have liked to say she loved the man, but she didn't like to lie," Jill won't talk about it, but she had divorced her husband by the time the song was released.

The single was released about eight months ahead of the album, which was certified double platinum. The Innocent Age is a concept album consisting of a song cycle describing the many stages of life from cradle to grave. (thanks, Charles - Charlotte, NC)

"Auld Lang Syne" is a traditional song that is often sung on New Year's Eve. That's the reference in the title.

The melody phrase at the beginning of each verse ("Met my old lover at the grocery store...") was taken by Fogelberg from Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture." (To get the effect, just sing that lyric twice, slightly speeded up. Maybe add a few fireworks explosions for good measure.) This song is one of several Pop tunes that have phrases or entire melodies ripped off from classical composers - Paul Simon's "American Tune" (from J.S. Bach), Billy Joel's "This Night" (from Beethoven), among others. (thanks, Peter - Little Silver, NJ)

When Fogelberg started writing this song, he considered it "a joke," essentially laughing at himself as he looked back on the fateful encounter at the convenience store. When he finished the song, he realized it was an important one so he saved it for his album The Innocent Age. It ended up being his best-known song, exemplifying the gentle but very emotional stories his lyrics portrayed.

In late 2007, Fogelberg died at age 56 due to prostate cancer.

Fogelberg performed this song long before he recorded it, including at benefit shows for Colorado senator Gary Hart, who would later be a top presidential candidate before getting caught in a sex scandal.

In 2008, Abingdon Street in Peoria, which was the location of the convenience store where the events of this song took place, was designated "Fogelberg Parkway" in honor of the singer.

This was released as a single in December 1980. Fogelberg's record company expected the album to follow soon after, but the singer had an epiphany when he sat down to sequence it on New Year's Eve: it should be a double album with a "song cycle" starting with nostalgia and coming up to the present. Fogelberg spent another six months writing new songs.

When "Same Old Lang Syne" peaked on the Hot 100 at #9 in February 1981, there was no album for fans to rush out to buy, which drove the record company nuts. Finally, the album emerged in August with "Lang Syne" the last song on the first disc. The wait was worth it: Three more singles were released, each making the US Top 20, and the album sold over two million copies.

Smooth jazz giant Michael Brecker played soprano saxophone on this song. His part is featured in the ending, and is an improvised, jazzy snippet of the classic holiday tune "Auld Lang Syne." Brecker died of leukemia (a blood cancer) in January of 2007 at age 57. (thanks, Tony - NYC, NY and Annabelle - Eugene, OR)

I Luh Ya Papi

This upbeat, summery track finds Lopez expressing her "luh" for her beau. Released as the third single from the singer's eighth album, the track got its first play during Lopez's trip to Power 106's New at 2 show with Yesi Ortiz on March 5, 2014.

Lopez enlisted fellow Bronx native French Montana, who jumps in at the end reciprocating the feelings for his true love. Speaking to Yesi Ortiz of her decision to have French Montana feature, the American-Puerto Rican singer said, "We're both from New York, and we both have similar backgrounds, and I wanted this record to have that vibe and he was just perfect for it so I was so happy when he heard this record and wanted to be a part of it."

The track was produced by Noel "Detail" Fisher, whose other credits include Lil Wayne's "How To Love," Beyoncé's "Drunk In Love" and Wiz Khalifa's "We Dem Boyz."

The music video was directed by Jessy Terrero in Miami, Florida. It is a comic clip where we see Lopez turning the tables on countless videos where men are objectifying women. She told Pop Crush : "It's funny, when I was doing the song, I felt like it was very tongue-in-cheek. I'm saying in the verses how I'm gonna put it down on you and how I want you and all this stuff, but then it's kind of like what guys do to girls. So in the song it's like, you know, they'll be with you and they'll talk about how much they want you, and then it'll be like … oh yeah, I didn't see it. I really love you. It's kind of that type of thing."

"And then [with] the video, we decided to do the same thing," Lopez continued. "The director came up with the concept to kind of flip the rap video — to make me the rapper and, you know, just turn the tables in that way... instead of having girls in bathing suits, have guys in bathing suits. Instead of having me be the soft girl in the video, be the rapper who's in the mansion and the yacht. It was all meant to be in good fun, but you know, I knew people would get the joke."

Lopez released a remix by DJ Khaled on April 21, 2014, featuring the original verse from French Montana, Big Sean's verse from the first remix, plus a new verse from Tyga.

The song was originally earmarked to be Tinashe's debut single. She recalled to The Fader: "It wasn't 'Papi' at first, it was 'I Luh You Nigga,' like, I luh ya luh ya luh ya nigga. They switched the swag up a little bit! It was intended for Aquarius and everything."

"Then Detail was in a session with J. Lo and he played her the track," Tinashe continued, "because you know these producers sometimes, they're like 'Yo, lemme play you my hot s--t!' I guess she obviously really liked it, and she cut her version.

"One day Detail calls me and is like 'B-T-dubs, J. Lo is singing that song.' I didn't believe it at first, I thought he was just not trying to give it to me for some reason," she added. "I was like 'J. Lo does not want that song, she's not gonna sing that.' And then it came out. I guess she wanted it."

Tinashe recorded "2 On" instead as her debut single, which peaked at #24 on the Hot 100. Lopez, meanwhile stalled at #77 with "Papi". "I wasn't tripping on it too much. I really roll with the punches," Tinashe said. "A lot of things happen for a reason. Timing always is perfect, even when you don't think it is. I clearly wasn't meant to have that song. Who knows, '2 On' might not have existed if I had it."

Big Salty Tears Lyrics

Big Salty Tears

The Ziggens are a Southern California band who were signed to the Skunk Records label along with Sublime, whose lead singer Brad Nowell was a big fan of their music.

This song is about a guy who loves a girl but knows he can't have her, so he cries every time he thinks of her or drives by her house. The part where he says, "Making my face all fat fat fat" is about how he deals with the problem by overeating.

Sublime sometimes performed this song acoustically. They reference the track on their hit "Wrong Way" in the line, "Big salty tears rolling down to her chin and it smears up her make-up."

Like We Ain't Ever Lyrics

Yeah I've iced down a few thousand beers in my day
To put down twice as many
No telling how many bonfires have lit up my face
If it ain't hundreds, it ain't any
I stood on this stage so many times
And watched all my friends have the time of your life
But there's something in this spring time air tonight
Yea we're gonna do it up right

Like We Ain't Ever
All been together
And tried to make one night last forever
Once it's gone, you can't get it back
So lift 'em up, y'all, where you at
Let's fill up on this feel good
Like we don't know, know better
Like we ain't ever

This ain't the first time we've
Partied under these stars
Making a hangover
Well, this time I got a few more songs
In this old guitar
For you to pull your baby closer
You pull your baby closer

Like we ain't ever
All been together
And tried to make one night last forever
Once it's gone, you can't get it back
So lift 'em up, y'all, where you at
Let's fill up on this feel good
Like we don't know, know better
Like we ain't ever

There's something in this spring time air tonight
But we're gonna do it up right
Let's do it up right

Like we ain't ever
All been together
And tried to make one night last forever
Once it's gone, you can't get it back
So lift 'em up, y'all, where you at
Let's fill up on this feel good
Like we don't know, know better
Like we ain't ever

Like we ain't ever

Like we ain't ever

Like We Ain't Ever

The title track of Luke Bryan's Spring Break 6…Like We Ain't Ever EP comes from a phrase he probably heard during his college years. "You've heard the saying, 'Let's party tonight like we ain't ever,' and that's kind of the basis of it," Bryan said. "I'd originally just written the song just casually as a party song, and we had some summertime references in there, so we just changed the summertime stuff into springtime stuff and made it a fun Spring Break song."
