Carry On

This homage to Northern Soul was penned by Stansfield with her longtime songwriting partner and husband Ian Devaney. The song details the end of a relationship and emotional survival - a common theme on Stansfield's Seven album. "She is really saying to him, 'I will carry on and you're not going to affect my life. I'm not going to fall to pieces because you're not there,'" the singer explained to The Daily Telegraph.

In A Lonely Place Lyrics

Caressing the marble and stone (2 times)
Love is a special form
Were wasting the feeling i feel
I wish you were here with me now (2 times)
Boiling all curls and eyes
Past is the awful and the light
More like a dark ride (feel)
I wish you were here with me now (2 times)
And i wish your arms were here waiting
God stretches time and it grays
Someday we will die in your dreams
I wish you were here with me now (4 times>
And i wish your arms were here waiting
God stretches time and it grays
Someday we will die in your dreams
I wish you were here with me now (2 times)
Caressing the marble and stone (2 times)
Love is a special form
Were wasting the feeling i feel

In A Lonely Place

This was written by the British group Joy Division, but they never recorded it. After Joy Division lead singer Ian Curtis died in 1980, remaining members formed New Order and released this in 1981 on their album Ceremony.

This appears on the soundtrack for The Crow: City Of Angels.

The version on the Bush album Deconstructed was remixed by Tricky. (thanks, James - Dartmouth, Canada, for all above)

Words Lyrics

Words Fell
Like roses at our feet
When you let me see you cry
Your silent lips against my cheek
Words Fell
On a night as black as coal
Your kisses traveled deep
Your eyes pierced my soul
Words Fell

Words Fell
In another place and time
We lived within the woods
Ate berries from the vine
Words Fell
When we lay among the stones
And watched the Druids dance
And walked along the rocky shores
Words Fell

Words Fell
In another place and time
I knew your mournful blue
Knew your golden grace
Words Fell
When we let the ocean hold us
And sank beneath the waves
In the silences of the roses
Words Fell
Words Fell
Words Fell

Words

This tale of verbal abuse finds the protagonist taking refuge in the strength of language. Williams explained to Elsewhere : "The person inside the song is dealing with one of those situations you find yourself in when you are in the wrong relationship and there is yelling and someone is verbally abusing you."

"It's about the victim finding salvation and shelter within her words," she continued. "She can go to that place that nobody can touch, and her songs can become a way of vindication."

"You have to be able to become the subject of the song to have the passion for the subject," Williams added. "But even when I'm writing in the third person I'm always writing about myself."

The People That We Love Lyrics

Speed kills
Coming down the mountain
Speed kills
Coming down the street
Speed kills
With the presence of mind and
Speed kills
If you know what I mean

Got to feel
Woke up inside again
Got to feel
Less broke more fixed
Got to feel
When I got outside myself
Got to feel
When I touched your lips

The things we do
To The People That We Love
The way we break
If there's something we can't take
Destroy the world
That we took so long to make

We expect her gone
For some time
I wish her safe from harm
To find yourself
In a foreign land
Another refugee
Outsider refugee

How's it feel
Coming up roses
How's it feel
She's coming up sweet
How's it feel
When it's all in spite of you
How's it feel
When she's out of your reach

The things we do
To the people that we love
The way we break
If there's something in the way
Destroy the world
That we took so long to make

We expect her gone
For some time
I wish her safe from harm
To find yourself
In a foreign land
Another refugee
Outsider refugee

What happened to you? (x4)

The things we do
To the people that we love
The way we break
If there's something we can't take
Destroy the world
That we took so long to make

The things we do
To the people that we love (x3)
The things we do
To the people that we
That we love

The People That We Love

According to Bush lead singer Gavin Rossdale, this song is about "how you can be the most destructive to the people you love."

The original title was "Speed Kills." The album cover was originally a black silhouette of a plane on the gold background, but after the 9/11 attacks on America, the name of the song and the cover were changed. (thanks, James - Dartmouth, Canada)

This song appeared in the video game Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2.

Never Too Far

This is the sole new song on Tubular Beats, a remix album featuring collaborations between Mike Oldfield and Torsten Stenzel of the German Electronica duo York.

The track features Finnish singer Tarja Turunen, who is best known as the former lead vocalist of the symphonic metal band Nightwish. She stated in a press release that Oldfield is one of her idols, adding: "My work in this song was inspired by Mike's (1987 single) 'Islands' featuring another of my youth idols: Bonnie Tyler,. A way to thank them for the nice melodies I grew up with was to add a line from their hit. And I believe Mike liked the idea too. That's how 'Never Too Far' was born."

Wanted to buy you shiny red things

How did I know that I would be there
Blow me away

Death of a future
Goodbye to my friends

Wish you were here see how I feel
Kill a man

Brings out the wired in me

The night is a Bomb blast
The night is on fire
Sing with me in the gasoline cho

Bomb

This song was inspired by the frequent IRA bombings in Ireland. The lyrics are intended to tell the story of a fellow who is just out shopping and ends up killed as an innocent bystander in an IRA bombing. Centuries of feuding between the Protestants and the Catholics have caused many deaths and severe injuries, not just to the people involved in the conflicts, but to innocent bystanders as well.

The song takes a cynical view of violence, as evident in the last two lines: "Of all the bravest stands in time/You stoop so low you'll never rise."

This song was featured on the soundtrack for the 1995 movie Tank Girl. (thanks, Sarah - Yuba City, CA)

...As the Crow Flies Lyrics

I spin around the sun I thank you may I have another
I am an army of one honour and respect my brother
The night is young crowded hearts are nine to four
If ever daylight comes save yourself and save your soul

As the crow flies I will make my way
As the day dies I look back and say
I look back and say well spent time today
I make my own way and I am not afraid

In from the word go bang those troubled thoughts out of your head
What you live is what you know any day alive is better than dead
Lets stay out all night and watch the shadows play in the light
And just look at us now I'm not afraid of failing I'm not afraid of flight

Beautiful in life unforgettable in death
Don't stop dreaming until the last breath
Until the last breath the hunger to be
To think and feel don't stop dreaming until it becomes real

...As the Crow Flies

This is the third single from Heavy Metal Music, the debut studio album from Newsted, which is led by former Metallica bass player Jason Newsted . He said: "As far as the new recordings go, it's one of my favorite moments, if not my favorite moment, on the record — the dual-lead guitar thing in the last 30 seconds of the song."

The video was filmed with director Leon Melas, who previously helmed Newsted's clips for the tracks "Soldierhead" and "King Of The Underdogs."

"As the crow flies" is an idiom for the shortest route between two points. It is actually the rook that flies straight to its destination, rather than the crow, but the two black birds are often identified with each other.

Wonder What's Next Lyrics

It sometimes feels like I'm burning,
I want to succeed,
Is this a good quality?

I Wonder What's Next.

Nothing.

More and more its an animal,
Waiting to be seen,
Face of someone's failures,
I seek society in need, indeed, indeed.

Indeed.

In the beginning it seems that no one thinks beyond having fun,
Which is why you write music in the first place,
Always moving, defining, and pushing forward the art that once created,
Looking to the right time to share it,
And then the headaches of criticism,
Senior advisers advising people above,
Twisting, distorting that which we love,
And never ending problems with money,
Holding you back,
Preventing progress,
I thought you only started 'cause it was fun.

We play the blaming game,
Yes I mind,
Its not your turn.

We play the blaming game,
Yes I mind,
Its not your turn.

We play the blaming game,
Yes I mind,
Its not your turn!

We play the blaming game,
Yes I mind,
Its not your turn!!

I wonder,
I wonder what's next.

Yes we play the blaming,
Yes I mind,
Its not your turn.

We play the blaming game,
Yes I mind,
Its not your turn!

We play the blaming game,
Yes I mind,
Its not your turn!

We play the blaming game!

We play the blaming game!

Nina Persson wrote the lyrics to this ironically titled piano ballad at the last minute on the green porch of her Animal Heart collaborator Eric D. Johnson (The Shins, Fruit Bats) in Portland, Oregon. Persson explained to Artist Direct : "I was really frustrated and stressed but decided that f--- it, I'm just gonna write down anything that matters to me right now, like a book end."

"It was the very last thing I wrote for the record," she added, "and when I was done, I was so incredibly relieved and happy and I decided to never sweat anything again."

In My Room Lyrics

There's a world where I can go
And tell my secrets to
In My Room
In my room

In this world I lock out
All my worries and my fears
In my room
In my room

Do my dreaming and my scheming lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing laugh at yesterday

Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid
In my room
In my room

In My Room

This is written from the perspective of a teenager who feels safe and comfortable in his bedroom. Brian Wilson suffered from severe agoraphobia, and refused to leave his bedroom for a significant amount of time. He wrote this song to give people and idea of how he felt.

Brian Wilson explained in 1990: "When Dennis, Carl and I lived in Hawthorne as kids, we all slept in the same room. One night I sang the song 'Ivory Tower' to them and they liked it. Then a couple of weeks later, I proceeded to teach them both how to sing the harmony parts to it. It took them a little while, but they finally learned it. We then sang this song night after night. It brought peace to us. When we recorded 'In My Room,' there was just Dennis, Carl and me on the first verse... and we sounded just like we did in our bedroom all those nights. This story has more meaning than ever since Dennis' death."

Charles Manson, who was convicted of orchestrating the murders of six people in 1969, made repeated claims that The Beach Boys stole this song from him. In Manson's view, he wrote a song called "In My Cell" which was about how he feels peace with himself in his jail cell. Manson did have a connection to The Beach Boys - he knew their drummer Dennis Wilson - and did write and record some songs. His claims have little basis in fact - something that is true of most of his proclamations.

Linda Ronstadt and Tammy Wynette both covered this song.

Bill Medley from The Righteous Brothers recorded this with Phil Everly and Brian Wilson for his album Damn Near Righteous, his first new album since the untimely 2003 death of his partner Bobby Hatfield. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

Interesting food for thought: Brian Wilson just might have inadvertently inspired one of the greatest Jazz fusion bands, Blood Sweat & Tears, albeit indirectly. Al Kooper relates in Backstage Passes and Backstabbing Bastards that he was sitting in Brian Wilson's living room while he showed off the Pet Sounds album. He was just leaving The Blues Project and wandering around California in an existential haze wondering what to do next, when while visiting with Brian Wilson, "Deep in the back of my mind was a band that could put dents in your shirt if you got within fifteen rows of the stage..." He explains his idea of having a band with a horn section in it, more than R&B bands but less than Count Basie's or Buddy Rich's. "Somewhere in the middle was a mixture of soul, jazz, and rock that was my little fantasy."

This was released as the B-side of "Be True To Your School."

Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand Lyrics

Jan lays down and wrestles in her sleep
Moonlight spills on comic books
And superstars in magazines
An old friend calls and tells us where to meet
Her plane takes off from Baltimore
And touches down on Bourbon Street

We sit outside and argue all night long
About a god we've never seen
But never fails to side with me
Sunday comes and all the papers say
Ma Teresa's joined the mob
And happy with her full time job

Do do do do do do

Am I alive or thoughts that drift away?
Does summer come for everyone?
Can humans do as prophets say?
And if I die before I learn to speak
Can money pay for all the days I lived awake
But half asleep?

Do do do do do do

A life is time, they teach us growing up
The seconds ticking killed us all
A million years before the fall
You ride the waves and don't ask where they go
You swim like lions through the crest
And bathe yourself on zebra flesh

I've been downhearted baby,
I've been downhearted baby,
Ever since the day we met

Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand

The hook samples the line, "I've been downhearted baby, ever since the day we met" from a live performance of B.B. King singing "How Blue Can You Get?," which can be heard on his 1971 album Live in Cook County Jail. That song was written by a British songwriter/music journalist named Leonard Feather, along with his wife Jane. They each shared composer credits on "Phone Booth" as a result of the sample.

This song was written and first recorded in 1991 by the group's lead singer, Chris O'Connor. His band The I-Rails spent the back half of the '80s playing gigs around Santa Monica, California, releasing four independent albums along the way. When they broke up in 1991, O'Connor used his friend's garage studio to record the Rocket album, which cost about $1,000 to make and was filled with songs dealing with his disaffection. Predictably, he got no takers and the album sat on the shelf.

O'Connor abandoned his music career and took a job as an air traffic controller at Los Angeles International Airport. In 1994, his passion for music returned and he sent out the remaining copies of the album he had made to various record companies. These unsolicited tapes rarely found the ears of a decision-maker, but Jonathan Daniel, an A&R man at Fiction Records, popped in the tape and gave it a listen. This song jumped out at him - "It's got tons of atmosphere" he recalled. Daniel played the tape for some other executives, and O'Connor got a deal with the Ergo division of Columbia Records, which released the album as Primitive Radio Gods - a far more exotic moniker than "Chris O'Connor."

"Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth" went to #1 on the Modern Rock charts and got considerable airplay on Top 40 radio. Needing a band to tour in support of the record, O'Connor enlisted his I-Rails bandmates, guitarist Jeff Sparks and drummer Tim Lauterio, to become the Primitive Radio Gods along with lead guitarist Luke McAuliffe. Sparks quit his day job - driving a beer truck - to join the band.

The title, which does not appear in the lyric, comes from a 1978 song by Bruce Cockburn called "Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money In My Hand," which is on Cockburn's album Further Adventures Of. Chris O'Connor told us: "I had already finished the song and thought, 'That's It.' I threw 'standing' in front, but at the time I would have swore I lifted it word for word."

When we asked Chris O'Connor what this song is about, he replied: "A light that never goes out."

Originally, this song was released in Europe, where it failed to chart. In America, before the album was released, the song was used in the 1996 Jim Carrey movie The Cable Guy, which made it more appealing to radio stations loath to play songs by unknown artists.

In America, the song was not released as a single, so if you wanted to own it, you had to buy either the Rocket album or The Cable Guy soundtrack. Holding back release as a single made the song ineligible for the Billboard Hot 100, but it went to #10 on their Airplay chart.

The female vocals are by Mary Kay Fishell, who was in a Los Angeles-based group called The Convertibles.

An early version of this song contained a sample from the 1965 French film Alphaville which had to be removed when the sample didn't clear.

This is one of the more unusual hit songs ever recorded, complete with church bells, distortion, soft synth, a title that never appears in the lyrics, and a very brief chorus of "Do do do do do do."

When the band toured, it was on the strength of this hit, but the other songs in their setlist were more standard guitar-based blues. This discrepancy didn't play well live, and the band couldn't expand their following. One more single was distributed to radio stations: a track called "Motherf--ker." That one went nowhere, and the band was dropped from their label. In 2000, they resurfaced with a new album called White Hot Peach.

Directed by the GobTV collective, the music video was shot in London. Chris O'Connor was still working as an air traffic controller at the time, and called in sick three times so he could do the shoot. It did very well on MTV, which helped the song's fortunes considerably.
