Na Na

The first single from Trey Songz's sixth album, starts with the singer proclaiming "Put your hands in the air, Trigga," referencing both his nickname and album title.

The song's hook samples Teena Marie's 1988 single "Ooo La La La," which was later interpolated on the chorus of the Fugees' 1996 hip hop hit tune "Fu-Gee-La." Songz re-imagines it as an ode to sex.

The song was produced by DJ Mustard, the Californian producer responsible for the beats on such club ready cuts as Tyga's "Rack City," 2 Chainz's "I'm Different" and Kid Ink's "Show Me."

The World Is Not Enough Lyrics

I know how to hurt
I know how to heal
I know what to show
And what to conceal
I know when to talk
And I know when to touch
No one ever died from wanting too much

Chorus:
The World Is Not Enough
But it is such a perfect place to start my love
And if you're strong enough
Together we can take the world apart my love

People like us
Know how to survive
There's no point in living
If you can't feel alive
We know when to kiss
And we know when to kill
If we can't have it all
Then nobody will

Chorus
I...I feel safe
I...I feel scared
I...I feel ready
And yet unprepared

Chorus
The world is not enough
The world is not enough

The World Is Not Enough

This is for the theme song to the James Bond movie of the same name. The lyrics were written by Don Black, who also co-wrote "Diamonds Are Forever." David Arnold, who wrote the music, has also composed for British sketch show Little Britain and other Bond films, including Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace.

In the music video, Shirley Manson is a robot built to look identical to a singer. She kills the singer and takes her place in a concert. The crowd cheers for her, not knowing she carries a bomb inside her set to detonate at the concert. (thanks, Beth - MN, for above 2)

In 2006, IGN placed the song ninth on their list of the top ten Bond themes.

Sweet Spot Lyrics

Sweet Spot

This song finds Hayden Thorpe and Tom Fleming singing of a dream state, halfway between asleep and awake over picked guitars and sparse synth. Fleming told NME: "This has a very clean guitar and synth, which we were careful not to overuse. When we sat down to record this album, we realized, 'This wants to be a pop record now.'"

Hayden Thorpe told DIY magazine the tune went through a huge amount of versions. "We almost wrote it off," he said. "We just couldn't get it right. The barometer was flinging either from being this Ibiza thing straight back into this song you couldn't focus on. And we couldn't get it to level out. Like most moments on the record, when we had half an hour of demo time left we scrapped what we had and started again. Within half an hour the dual guitar line came about."

"The song itself has been around for a long time," Thorpe continued. It's about euthanasia, really. What I think a beautiful pop song should be able to do is take a very difficult subject and make it sound completely weightless; throw it up in the air like it's a feather. That's what I wanted 'Sweet Spot' to do. This might sound morbid, but the song also refers to how death and sex are from the same creature. It's the snake's head and the snake's tail."

Karn Evil 9 Lyrics

Karn Evil 9

This is ELP's most popular song from their most popular album. The song is most commonly interpreted as ELP's take on a shortened history of the world into a futuristic tale. The First Impression begins on the "Cold and misty morning" of the Earth's birth, through the ice age ("Where the seeds have withered, silent faces in the cold"), and to man's growing lust for money ("Now their faces captured in the lenses of the jackals for gold"), which leads to various wars. Afterwards, the world is described as a carnival, wherein various elements of humanity are reduced to circus sideshows ("A bomb inside a car," "Pull Jesus from a hat"), representing the human race's growing selfishness and indifference toward others. Even human misery is described as a "specialty" in the "show."

The second part of the First Impression focuses on the growing artificialization of the world, describing something as natural as "A real blade of grass" as some bizarre circus attraction. Despite the fact that the world is becoming more and more consumed by artificiality and given control to computers (see Third Impression), the human race insists that it is still in control, as it created all that the "Carnival" encompasses ("We would like it to be known the exhibits that were shown were exclusively our own.").

The Second Impression is an instrumental piece (mostly a piano solo), symbolizing the blissful ignorance of humanity towards the impending danger of the conquest of the computers, which culminates in the Third Impression. At this point, the "machines" have concluded their superiority to humanity and begin to take on mankind's necessity to prove their own superiority. The computers are represented by heavily distorted vocals, while the voice of the all-representative "Man" is clean and without effect. The computers finally wage a violent conquest of the Earth. Mankind is shocked that its own creation is fighting back against him ("Walls that no man thought would fall") and is unprepared for the conflict. Finally the machines determine that they are sentient beings and the new "Humans," or rather the new dominant species ("Load your program. I am yourself."), pushing humanity to the subservient status that they had once occupied. After their victory ("Rejoice! Glory is ours!"), they make sure not to wipe out the human race, but preserve it to demean humanity and gloat about their superiority.

The last stanza of the suite epitomizes the conquest and the arrogance of both the old and new masters of the earth, wherein man struggles to maintain his presence as the dominant species on Earth and the computers assert that they have surpassed their creators: "I am all there is." "Negative! Primitive! Limited! I let you live!" "But I gave you life!" "What else could you do?" "To do what is right." "I'm perfect! Are you?" (thanks, Mike - Long Island, NY)

"Roll up... see the show!" represents the carnival barker. "Roll Up" is a British term inviting people to come check something out - Paul McCartney said it at the beginning of The Beatles "Magical Mystery Tour."

When asked in 2009 if he knew how prophetic the lyrics, to this song would be, Greg Lake replied: "Yes we did. The reason for this was that Pete [Sinfield] and I had both written Schizoid Man some years before and could already see the writing on the wall."

Why #9? When we spoke with Greg Lake, we surmised it may have had something to do with John Lennon, who was a big influence on Lake and an affinity for the digit. Greg's response: "I have no f--king clue what number 9's got to do with anything, to be honest with you."

With that theory debunked, we can look to Keith Emerson, who says that he had an idea for lyrics about a planet called Ganton 9. Lyricist Pete Sinfield shot down the planet idea, but perhaps kept the number.

"Karn Evil" is a series of songs on the Brain Salad Surgery album which were conceived as one piece. "Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression, Pt. 1" runs 8:37 and closes the first side of the album. The second side begins with "Karn Evil 9: 1st Impression, Pt. 2," which is by far the most famous part of the movement. Running 4:45, it's the section that begins, "Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends." This is what radio stations typically play, as it works as a self contained song and is a practical length for airplay.

"Karn Evil 9: 2nd Impression" follows, running 7:07, and "Karn Evil 9: 3rd Impression" closes out the original album at 9:07.

No part of "Karn Evil" was ever released as a single, but it helped the album reach #2 in the UK and #11 in the US.

The title is a play on the word "Carnival." Pete Sinfield, who wrote some lyrics for the band, came up with the phrase after hearing some music Keith Emerson wrote for the piece - he thought it sounded like something you would hear at a carnival. Sinfield says that the work of the musician Tom Lehrer and the author Kurt Vonnegut were an influence on the words he wrote.

The "Karn Evil" suite was written with live performance in mind, and it served ELP well as a concert favorite. The band's previous album was Trilogy, which contained songs that required sound effects and other assistance to play live. In our interview with Greg Lake , he explained: "We decided that the next album we made, we would make sure that we could perform it live. And so, I know it sounds horribly extravagant, but this is what we did: We bought a cinema in London and we set up on the stage, and we wrote the album, performing it on the stage in the theatre. So as we created the album, we made sure that we could perform it live.

So it came about, this line, 'Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends.' It was a kind of live idea behind it."

A Simple Beautiful Truth Lyrics

A Simple Beautiful Truth

This was inspired by an early 1990s dance-pop classic. "In a way I was wanting to write my own version of Haddaway's 'What Is Love,' which to me holds a lot of importance," vocalist Hayden Thorpe explained to DIY magazine. "On a nostalgic level that was the kind of soundscape that as a child I came into. You grow up hearing music in passing and all of a sudden it's incredibly moving. That's a song I've always held dear."

Bassist Tom Fleming commented to NME: "It feels like a proper pop song, and we wouldn't have been brave enough to do that before."

The surrealistic video was directed by the Danish photographer Klaus Thymann. It finds the Wild Beasts dancing around a number of locations whilst clad in some shiny suits. The band explained it was The Talking Heads who inspired them to embrace their inner Fred Astaire. "We were inspired enough by the absurdist approach taken by Talking Heads to don electric suits and dance in the ether on the top of a Beacons mountain," they said. "We wanted to capture the weightlessness of a song like 'A Simple Beautiful Truth', to attempt something so ridiculous as to be sublime."

"The experience was strangely liberating," the band added, "and we asked ourselves why we hadn't done this before."

Hayden Thorpe said he was trying to capture a rare moment of clarity with this song. He explained to NME: "[It's] that kind of lucid vision when ... everything seems simple and you see the kind of small beauty in everything. And you spend so much time taking for granted so much and kind of ignoring what is the beauty of the small things, and it's a song that tries to stretch out that very brief little window." This clear-eyed flash of epiphany usually only comes to him when he's "slightly hungover."

Thorpe learned an important lesson during the eight to nine months it took to complete this song: what seems easy, never is. He explained to NME: "Any brilliant pop song should be kinda weightless - it should kind of defy gravity, and it should seem effortless. And what became apparent was to achieve that kind of song, for it to feel effortless, actually required a huge amount of work."

Hayden Thorpe told NME the story behind the video. "I've never felt our past videos have captured who we are," he said. "They presented as arty and stern-faced, and every time we watched them we thought, 'Oh, lads, lighten up a bit!' We wanted an element of absurdity."

"We were making fantastic songs and we wanted our outfits to reflect that, but it became four guys looking like Power Rangers on a Welsh hillside instead," Thorpe continued. "Our dance moves are crude and our outfits looked like our mums made them. I did practise that dance in my bedroom and felt like a teenage boy again. It was great."

Palace Lyrics

Palace

Wild Beasts close their Present Tense album with this ballad that uses the metaphor of buildings for love as Hayden Thorpe sings of finding beauty in perfection. "'Palace' is about acceptance," he explained to DIY magazine. "The closing line is perfect in that it admits that striving for perfection is the wrong cause. If you go for this, you miss all the beauty of the awkward, the ugly and the accidental."

"There's an acceptance of the chaos; living with it and accepting it," Thorpe continued. "Early on, we always wanted 'Palace' to be the closing track." It has this air of cautious optimism. The line 'this is a palace and that was a squat' came from the realisation that I was one of many people that thinks achieving something automatically makes you a happier, better person. There's a mid twenties realisation that all of this is nonsense and counts for nothing. It's crushing. I had a realisation that I had everything I wanted, but I was living in a basement flat in Hackney; essentially a wreck. And I was paying a decent amount of rent for that. But there was an acceptance that I wouldn't change that for the world. I've lived in far prettier flats and they felt like squats. And this basement flat felt like a palace at that point."

Bassist Tom Fleming commented to NME: "It's a straightforward song and I like having a really big, bright song at the end."

Come Back Around Lyrics

Turning in to something
Drifting off to always
Got to pull myself back in

Holding back the questions
Bruised with all rejections
Got to pull myself back in

We've suffered the breaks
You know I still remember it
It keeps burning away
I know that you may take a while
To Come Back Around

Come back around

I miss you around

Reaching out for someone
Burning out for solo
Got to pull myself back in

There's no new religion
And there's no real solution
Got to pull myself back in

We've suffered the breaks
You know I still remember it
It keeps burning away
I know that you may take a while
To come back around

We've suffered the breaks
You know I still remember it
It keeps burning away
I know that you may take a while
To come back around

Come back around

Come back around

Feel you're going under
So keep on treading water
Got to pull myself back in

Feel no obligation
No more indecision
Got to pull myself back in

We've suffered the breaks
You know I still remember it
It keeps burning away
I know that you may take a while
To come back

We've suffered the breaks
You know I still remember it
It keeps burning away
I know that you may take a while
I know that you may take a while
To come back around

Never Had the Time

While coming up with the title for the Never Had the Time album, the band was sure of one thing: they couldn't name the album after its lead single... and that's exactly what they did. Singer/songwriter John Sponarski explained in our interview : "It was a bit of an interesting choice for us, I think, because I'm not sure 'Never Had the Time' is the catchiest song on the record or even what a traditional single should be. But for us it kind of embodied what we were going after for this record. It best represented what we were trying to do musically. The phrase really embodied what was going on with all of us up to the record release because we were just spread so thin trying to work enough to make enough money to be able to press this thing and do this whole thing independently."

This Time Around Lyrics

It's getting colder in this ditch where I lie
I'm feeling older and I'm wondering why
I heard they told her it was tell and live or die
I didn't know her, but I know why she lied
I didn't know her, but I know why she died

[Chorus]
You can't say I didn't give it
I won't wait another minute
We're on our way This Time Around
You can't say I didn't give it
I won't wait another minute
We're on our way this time around

And we won't go down

I heard them say that dreams should stay in your head
Well, I feel ashamed of the things that I've said
Put on these chains and you can live a free life
Well, I'd rather bleed just to know why I die

[Chorus]

And we won't go down
And we won't go down
And we won't go down
And we won't go down
All I know is that fear has got to go
This time around

I've started feeling like I don't want to fight
Give in to the given and put out the light
Cannons a-blazin' shower these moonlit skies
Then I remember and I know why he died
Do you know why I die?

[Chorus: x2]

And we won't go down
And we won't go down
And we won't go down

This Time Around

Zac Hanson told us: "It's about fighting back, 'You can't say I didn't give it, I won't wait another minute, on our way this time around.' The story line in the song, we almost pictured it as someone in the middle of a conflict, maybe a war, and the honor of giving one's self out to say, 'I'm going to go for it all no matter what the consequences are because of what really matters. I'm not going to live a free life with chains on, I'm not going to give away my friends.' It's about that ultimate sticking it to the man."

This was Hanson's second studio album released on a major label. It came out three years after Middle Of Nowhere, which contained the massive hit "MMMBop."

Zac: "If anything, it's a statement to every artist and every musician out there just to say, 'Go for it, mean something and do something great.' Whatever that entails, that's what you should focus on." (Check out our interview with Zac Hanson.)

As a Child

This song is a coming-of-age tale about the loss of childhood innocence. John Sponarski , who shares duties as songwriter, lead singer and guitarist with Harold Donnelly, told us: "'As a Child' is a song about youth lost and the struggles with growing up and becoming an adult and losing that freedom you want to hang on to, at least that feeling that the possibilities are endless and that you could do anything. It's kind of coming to grips with reality."

Sponarski and Donnelly performed a stripped-down version of this song outside of the University of Toronto campus for a live video with Adrian Vieni of Wood & Wires Productions.

Underneath Lyrics

Waking up this morning
Thinking this can't be real
They say there is nothing love can't heal
Why don't you come on down
So you can feel what I feel?

Sitting all alone in this place
Even though we're here face to face
There is nothing gone
But there's something wrong

Can't you see
That I'm stuck here Underneath
And you make it hard to breathe?
Take a look around and tell me what you see
You'll find me underneath

I know what to say
But don't know where to begin
I fear I'm losing you beneath my skin
Is there resolution for this pain that I'm in?

Sitting all alone in this place
Even though we're here face to face
There is nothing gone
But there's something wrong

Can't you see
That I'm stuck here underneath
And you make it hard to breathe?
Take a look around and tell me what you see
You'll find me underneath
'Cause you'll find me, whoa, underneath

If only you could feel what I dream
Maybe you could hear what I mean
There is nothing gone

But there's something missing
Can't you see
That I'm stuck here underneath
And you make it hard to breathe?
Take a look around and tell me what you see

You'll find me underneath
You'll find me underneath
Underneath, underneath

Underneath

The band wrote this with Matthew Sweet, a critically-acclaimed singer/songwriter who had a Modern Rock hit in 1991 with "Girlfriend." They met through a mutual friend when Hanson was working on the album, so they got together and wrote this in about 4 hours. Zac Hanson, the band's drummer, told us: "Songs can take sometimes years, songs can come together in a couple of moments. The fluidity of how that song came together with Matthew and how natural it felt to write it with him was pretty cool."

Zac Hanson: "Matthew came in with a chord pattern and then everybody sort of built off of that, focusing on an idea or a word or a melody part and then you sort of build out from there. It is an intense song, it's a song that I think everyone can relate to - 'Sitting all alone in this place, even though we're here face to face,' just talking about that ultimate disconnect, where you're right here, but you're not right here, and I think everyone's felt that in some form or another or will feel that in their life. It was just a meaningful song, and really a pillar for the whole album. After that song was written, just the way that song was, the way we recorded it and the sounds we used, it was a cornerstone for the whole record. That was part of the reason we called the album Underneath, in addition to the blatant meaning of a step deeper into who we are." (Check out our interview with Zac Hanson.)
