Mother Of Mine Lyrics

Mother Of Mine

Neil Reid was an 8-year-old Scottish singer when he was discovered singing at a Christmas party for old-age pensioners in 1968, and for the next few years he spent his school holidays singing at various clubs. He won the British TV talent show Opportunity Knocks 3 times and as result he was given a recording contract.

This was Reid's first single. He later became the youngest artist to top the US albums chart with Neil Reid. He was unable to follow up his success and little more was heard of him.

Written by session guitarist Bill Parkinson, this was a massive hit worldwide, and rightly so, being recorded in every language from French to Japanese. Parkinson wrote it about/for his own mother, who, he told this website, was always "a bit coy" about the song.
In English, it was also recorded by Little Jimmy Osmond, as the B Side of "Long Haired Lover From Liverpool". In French, it is known as "Maman Chérie", and the best known recording was by the youthful René Simard.

Same Girl

Jennifer Lopez wrote this paean to her roots with Chris Brown. It finds the Bronx-raised singer telling us that she hasn't changed since her days in Castle Hill - she's still real and remains the same Jenny from the block.

The song was produced by Cory Rooney, who has helmed several of Lopez's hit tunes including her aforementioned "Jenny From The Block" and "Play." He worked on this track in collaboration with Bronx producers Amadeus, YaBoy Chizzy and Ryan M Tedder.

The video was shot in Lopez's old neighborhood in the Bronx on December 28, 2013 and directed by Steven Gomillion and Dennis Leupold. "I had this idea like, oh, when I do the video for ["Same Girl"], if I ever do a video for this, I'm gonna go back to my old neighborhood in the Bronx," she explained on The Tonight Show. "I'm gonna go back to Castle Hill, I'm gonna get on the train from Manhattan, I'm just gonna film the whole thing. So we did!"

"We did it very guerrilla style," Lopez added. "You know it was just me and the camera and it turned out pretty cool."

Lopez invited locals to cameo in the clip. "They all started kind of gathering around and we're like, 'Do you wanna be in the video?'" she recalled. "They're like 'Yeah!' and I was like, 'OK c'mon, sing this!'"

This was one of several songs that Lopez worked on with Chris Brown for her A.K.A. album. Asked by Pop Crush how she thought his style affected the sound of those tracks, Lopez replied: "He knew he was writing for me, but at the same time it was very organic to what he does. But when you hear the songs, I don't think you would think, like, 'Oh, he wrote 'Same Girl.' He wrote 'Emotions.'' There's very different things that he did for me on the album."

It's Only Make Believe Lyrics

People see us everywhere
They think you really care
But myself I can't deceive
I know It's Only Make Believe.

My one and only prayer is that some day you'll care,
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you.
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My only prayer will be someday you'll care for me
But it's o-only make believe.

My hopes, my dreams come true, my life I'd give for you,
My heart, a wedding ring, my all, my everything.
My heart I can't control, you rule my very soul,
My only prayer will be someday you'll care for me
But it's o-only make believe.

My one and only prayer, is that some day you'll care,
My hopes, my dreams come true, my one and only you
No one will ever know how much I love you so
My prayers, my hopes, and my schemes, you are my every dream
But it's o-only make believe

This was written by Conway Twitty with his drummer Jack Nance between sets at the Flamingo Lounge, Hamilton.

Conway Twitty was US singer Harold Lloyd Jenkins. He changed his name in 1957 upon signing with Sun Records (although nothing was released) and the next year he switched to MGM with whom he recorded this. He changed his musical style to country in 1965 and scored 41 chart toppers on the Country charts before dying from cardiac arrest in 1993.

In 1970, Glen Campbell's cover reached #10 in the US and #4 in Britain. UK singer Billy Fury also reached #10 with this in the UK in 1964.

Know You Wanna Know Lyrics

Saw them holding hands, knew he was a married man,
Did she forget the ring on her own finger?
His wife has a baby on the way, friends all said he had it made,
Gave it all up for a huzzy country singer.
It's on every dot com, so it must be true.
The internet wouldn't lie to you.
So sit back and watch the winners lose

Everybody wants to know everybody's business
Everybody needs a ticket to the show
Everybody claimed to be an eyewitness
Feel bigger when they're small and act like you're above it all
You wanna know, Know You Wanna Know (know you wanna know)
Know you wanna know (know you wanna know)

Smile sweet from a magazine, perfect fit in skinny jeans,
Knows damn well the message that she's sending.
I heard her secret to a nice size four,
Is what goes on behind the bathroom door
But she don't care long as Twitter says she's trending.
But the smile's not quite so bright,
In the picture that came with the DUI.
Watchin' them fall can really get you high.

Everybody wants to know everybody's business
Everybody needs a ticket to the show
Everybody claimed to be an eyewitness
Feel bigger when they're small and act like you're above it all
You wanna know, know you wanna know (know you wanna know)
Know you wanna know (know you wanna know)

(Know you wanna know)
(Know you wanna know)

When things get tough in Tinsel Town,
There's no career that's so far down,
That a little sex tape wouldn't turn around.

Everybody wants to know everybody's business
Everybody needs a ticket to the show
Everybody claimed to be an eyewitness
Feel bigger when they're small and act like you're above it all
You wanna know, know you wanna know (know you wanna know)
Know you wanna know (know you wanna know)
Know you wanna know (know you wanna know)

Know You Wanna Know

Jennifer Nettles wrote this bar room rocker about celebrity obsession with songwriter Richard Marx , who scored 14 Top 40 Pop hits from his first four albums in the late '80s and early '90s. During an album preview, Nettles said that Marx was pleased with the way the song turned out, since no one would ever guess he wrote it.

Though better known as a Pop songwriter, Richard Marx has had some success penning tunes for Nashville artists and has achieved three Country #1 singles: Kenny Rogers' "Crazy" plus Keith Urban's "Better Life" and "Long Hot Summer."

The song is driven by Ian McLagan's piano. The English keyboardist is best known as a member of the Rock band Small Faces (who later became Faces) as well as his collaborations with The Rolling Stones.

White Christmas Lyrics

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
"May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

White Christmas

This 8-line song that paints a picture of holiday nostalgia was written by Irving Berlin for the 1942 movie Holiday Inn, where Bing Crosby sings it from the perspective of a New Yorker stranded in sunny California during Christmas. In the film, the song begins with this verse:

The sun is shining, the grass is green
The orange and palm trees sway
There's never been such a day
In Beverly Hills, LA
But it's December the 24th
And I'm longing to be up north

Crosby recorded a version of the song for release as a single with the Kim Darby Singers and the John Scott Trotter Orchestra on May 29, 1942 - a few months before the movie hit theaters. At the advice of Bing's record producer Jack Kapp, this original first verse was excised as it made no sense outside of the context of the film. Now starting with the familiar, "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas," the song became a huge hit, going to #1 on the Billboard chart (measuring sales) in October, and staying in the top spot for 11 weeks, taking it through the first two weeks of 1943.

Irving Berlin wrote another holiday song that Crosby also sang in the film: "Let's Start the New Year Right." This was released as the B-side of the "White Christmas" single.

The song enjoyed a sales resurgence every Christmas after it was first released in 1942. It appeared on various Billboard charts every year until 1963 when it finally dropped off the Hot 100.

A perennial seller for an entire generation, the song is by far the biggest-selling Christmas song of all time. It was the biggest-selling song of all time, going back and forth with Bill Haley's "Rock Around The Clock," until Elton John released his tribute to Princess Diana - "Candle In The Wind."

Bing re-recorded the song on March 19,1947, again with the John Scott Trotter Orchestra because the original masters had been worn out from all the pressings. It is this version that is most often heard today.

The original Drifters with Clyde McPhatter as their lead vocalist recorded their Doo-Wop version in November 1953. It hit #2 on the R&B charts in 1954, and made the Pop charts in 1955. The deep bass-tenor voice you hear on this version was Bill Pinkney, who was an early member of the group.

The Drifters version made the Hot 100 (the chart was introduced in 1958) twice alongside Crosby's version: in 1960 (Bing #26, Drifters #96) and in 1962 (Bing #38, Drifters, #88).

By 1954, this song was a holiday favorite, and that year Paramount Pictures released a movie called White Christmas to tie in with it. Crosby starred in the film along with Danny Kaye, and of course performed his famous song.

This won the Academy Award for Best Song of 1942.

Elvis Presley recorded this song in 1957 along with other holiday standards for his Elvis' Christmas Album. Most songwriters dream of having Elvis record their songs, but Irving Berlin spoke out against the King's cover, calling it a "profane parody of his cherished yuletide standard" and claiming that his staff was ordered to call radio stations and ask them not to play it. There's a chance that Berlin was simply drumming up publicity for his song, as there was nothing all that offensive about the Elvis version, and The Drifters had already done an R&B version.

Elvis doing Christmas songs did rub some people the wrong way, but much of the controversy was manufactured, helping Elvis' Christmas Album stay at #1 for an amazing five weeks in late 1957 and early 1958. The best publicity stunt may have been the one pulled off by the Portland, Oregon radio station KEX, which refused to play the song and sparked a debate among listeners as to the merits of Presley's Christmas output. Their disc jockey Al Priddy played the song on a Sunday, and was "fired" the next day, making national news - Priddy even played the phone call of his firing on the air before he left. The station continued to play up the incident, and brought Priddy back two weeks later, claiming that overwhelming listener support made them decide to bring him back.

This has the distinction of marking the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. As the North Vietnamese surrounded Saigon, an evacuation plan was put into effect to bring the remaining Americans to safety. Their cue to evacuate was when a radio announcement stating that the temperature in Saigon was "105 degrees and rising," and followed by the playing of Bing Crosby's "White Christmas." That was the signal for the mad dash to the US Embassy where helicopters were waiting.

Phil Spector put this as the first track on his 1963 Christmas album A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector, which was unfortunately released on November 22, 1963 - the day John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Spector had Darlene Love sing this one, and he used many of his favorite Los Angeles session musicians on the album, including a then unknown Cher. The sessions were notoriously difficult, with Cher explaining, "Philip was just insane about the Christmas album. We just never left the studio. I mean, you went home to take a shower, you came back. We didn't go home for six weeks, we just were there. I had just turned 17, and I'm thinking, How are all these old people doing this? I am dying, I can hardly drag myself outta bed. How are these old guys doing it?"

Lady Gaga recorded a jazzy version for her 2011 A Very Gaga Holiday EP. Her take includes an original verse in which she jokes, "O.K., I suppose it's not very white outside yet."

Many popular artists have recorded this song, but since 1963, only one has charted in the US: Michael Bolton. He make #73 with his 1992 rendition.

Andy Williams released this song on his very first Christmas album (there were eight total), The Andy Williams Christmas Album in 1963, which also debuted his own enduring holiday classic "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year." His version of "White Christmas" also became the #1 selling Christmas single that year.

According to Mark Steyn's A Song for the Season, Berlin began writing this on January 8, 1942. The songwriter was in a hurry that Monday morning and shouted at his musical secretary, Helmy Kresa: "Grab your pen and take down this song. It's the best song I ever wrote. Hell, it's the best song anybody ever wrote."

Steyn notes that "White Christmas" owes much of its enduring popularity to World War II, specifically the attack on Pearl Harbor that led to US involvement, because the song adopted a significance beyond the reaches of Hollywood: "Had America entered the war in Europe in 1939, 'White Christmas' might have been just a hit-record from a so-so movie. Instead, 1942 was the American serviceman's first Christmas away, in the Pacific, under glorious sunny skies that only made home seem even more distant."

Christmas was a painful time for Irving Berlin and his second wife, Ellin Mackay, who found their infant son dead in his bassinet early Christmas morning in 1928. Although he was Jewish, Irving grew up celebrating the holiday by sneaking off to his neighbor's house to enjoy the festivities. His daughter, Mary Ellin, told Mark Steyn: "My father believed in the secular American Christmas. There's a lot of controversy about that, about whether there should be, apart from the Christian celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, a general festive celebration that anyone can join in with."

Crystallize Lyrics

Crystallize

Lindsey Stirling rose to prominence following a breakout appearance on Season 5 of America's Got Talent. She was voted off in the quarterfinals after Piers Morgan told her the world had no place for a dancing Dub-Step violinist. However she proved him wrong, firstly by attracting a lot of fans with her choreographed violin performances on her YouTube channel, then when her eponymous debut album reached #23 on the Billboard 200. The album also charted within the Top 5 in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

This song was produced by longtime producer/collaborator of the Black Eyed Peas, DJ Poet, and released as the lead single from the Lindsey Stirling album. USA Today described the tune as "Mozart meets Skrillex."

Speaking with Artist Direct , Stirling explained the background to the song: "It has a pretty deep meaning," she said. "Basically, it's about creating inner beauty in yourself first. It all comes back to research being done by a scientist who studied the crystallization of water."

"Basically, he'd test out water and look at it at a magnified level as it crystallized in different environments," Stirling continued. "If it was in positive environments where good things were being spoken to it, the crystals came out beautiful. Whereas if negative things were said to these little vials of water, these crystals where these jagged shapes that were meaningless."

"When we surround ourselves eternally with positivity and we create healthy and positive environments and we do good things for people and ourselves, we're made up of 70 percent water so the crystals in your body create actual literal inner beauty," Stirling added. "That's what "Crystallize" is about. It's about taking control of your environment, creating beauty within yourself, and therefore creating beauty outside. I know that's pretty deep, but that's what it's about."

The music video was filmed in the ice castles of Silverthorne Colorado and was co-directed by Stirling with Devin Graham. One of the most viewed clips of 2012, it was #8 on YouTube's list of Top 10 Trending Videos for that year.

One Piece At A Time Lyrics

Well, I left Kentucky back in forty nine
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on Cadillacs

Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.

I'd get it One Piece At A Time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around.

So the very next day when I punched in
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
I've never considered myself a thief
But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years.

The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission and all the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home.

Now, up to now my plan went all right
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong.

The transmission was a fifty three
And the motor turned out to be a seventy three
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.

So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help with an adapter kit
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlight' was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on.

The back end looked kinda funny too
But we put it together and when we got through
Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin."

So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right on down main drag
I could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds.

I got it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around.

Ugh! Yeah, RED RYDER
This is the COTTON MOUTH
In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on

Huh, This is the COTTON MOUTH
And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there RED RYDER
You might say I went right up to the factory
And picked it up, it's cheaper that way
Ugh!, what model is it?

Well, It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56
'57, '58' 59' automobile
It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67
'68, '69, '70 automobile.

Time will have warranted all that the foliage brung
Falls to the ground at the feet of The Old and the Young
Tired and worn from a life made of wallow and pain
Of what will be made is all that remains at the core

Bear the old and the young
Time will have warranted
All that the foliage brung
So bear the old and the young

Awoke from a long one that came on the heels of a day
Where sun would arise and then grant us the kindness of ray
Fields full of gladness surrounded by droves that await
And look for the grave in everything adorn

Bear the old and the young
Time will have warranted
All that the foliage brung
So bear the old and the young

Bear the old and the young
Time will have warranted
All that the foliage brung
Bear the old and the young
Time will have warranted
All that the foliage brung
So bear the old and the young

Too Many People Lyrics

Too Many People going underground,
Too many reaching for a piece of cake
Too many people pulled and pushed around
Too many waiting for that lucky break

That was your first mistake
You took your lucky break and broke it in two
Now what can be done for you?
You broke it in two

Too many people sharing party lines
Too many people never sleeping late
Too many people paying parking fines
Too many hungry people losing weight

That was your first mistake
You took your lucky break and broke it in two
Now what can be done for you?
You broke it in two

Too many people breaching practices
Don't let them tell you what you want to be
Too many people holding back
This is crazy and maybe it's not like me

That was your last mistake,
I find my love awake and waiting to be
Now what can be done for you?

She's waiting for me

Too Many People

This song alludes to John Lennon's "lucky break" - meaning The Beatles, and how he subsequently "broke it in two." It also takes barbs at John and Yoko's self-images as important political figures. Lennon retorted with a fiery condemnation of Paul on the album Imagine in a track called "How Do You Sleep?" in which Lennon says, "The only thing you've done was yesterday, and since you've gone you're just another day." This references the song "Yesterday," and a post-Beatles McCartney piece titled "Another Day."

The lyrics, "Too many people preaching practices" is a direct reference to John Lennon and Yoko Ono. John thought other lines in the song were about him as well.
In an interview with the October 2010 edition of Mojo magazine, McCartney said: "'Too many people preaching practices.' I felt that was true of what was going on with John. 'Do this, do that, do this, do that.'"

McCartney decided to refrain from direct name-calling in this song and softened the original chorus line of "Yoko took your lucky break and broke it in two" to "You took your lucky break…"

This was used as the B-side of the "Uncle Albert - Admiral Halsey" single.

It’s a hard road but it fits your shoes

The sound of darkness, the pull of the oak
Everything is broken and painted in smoke

But there’s a light on Sunday, a new design
The sound of the whistle, those radio wires
Love in your future, I’ll wait for you there
Put 50000 watts of a common prayer

[Chorus]
50000 watts of common prayer
50000 watts of common prayer

To be who we are and not who we were
A sister to him, a brother to her
We’ll live like kings without any sin
Redemption will come, just tune it all in

But there’s a light on Sunday, a new design
The sound of the whistle, those radio wires
Love in your future, I’ll wait for you there
Put 50000 watts of a common prayer

The Union Forever Lyrics

It can't be love
For there is no true love
It can't be love
For there is no true love

Sure I'm C.F.K.
But you gotta love me
The cost no man can say
But you gotta love me

Well I'm sorry but I'm not
Interested in gold mines,
Oil wells, shipping or real estate
What would I liked to have been?
Everything you hate

'Cause it can't be love
For there is no true love
It can't be love
For there is no true love

There is a man
A certain man
And for the poor you may be sure
That he'll do all he can
Who is this one?
Whose favorite son?
Just by his action has the traction
Magnets on the run
Who likes to smoke?
Enjoys a joke?
And wouldn't get a bit
Upset if he were really broke?
With wealth and fame
He's still the same
I'll bet you five you're not alive
If you don't know his name

You said The Union Forever
You said the union forever
You cried the union forever
But that was untrue girl

'Cause it can't be love
For there is no true love
It can't be love
For there is no true love

Love Is a Camera Lyrics

A winter morning black as any night
A landscape held in time under the ice
There's a house on the hill
She's living there still
Rooms are full of pictures black and white

So the story goes, she lives alone
The company is framed in monochrome
She keeps them alive
Long after they've died
No one ever knows until they're gone

Stand still evermore
Pose for eternity with me
Your soul on my wall
Love Is a Camera full of memories

I once went to her door when I was young
The spell to be her subject was too strong
Now from here behind glass
I see more fools pass
Flies caught in the secret web she's spun

Stand still evermore
Pose for eternity with me
Your soul on my wall
Love is a camera full of memories

Every photograph is a cenotaph
Won't you stay here a while
In a flash you'll see, you belong to me
All I need is a smile

Stand still evermore
Pose for eternity with me
Your soul on my wall
Love is a camera full of memories

Stand still evermore
Pose for eternity with me
Your soul on my wall
Love is a camera full of memories

Run run away, from the house on the hill
There's a witch in the house
And she's living there still

Run run away, from the house on the hill
There's a witch in the house
And she's living there still

Love Is a Camera

Ellis-Bextor told The Sunday Telegraph that this song, "is about a woman who takes your photo and traps your soul in the picture." She added, grinning: "This is what comes of reading Russian fairy tales as a kid and doing Emily Dickinson at school."

Directed by Sophie Muller, the video was shot in Florence, Italy. Taking a cue from the song lyrics, Ellis-Bextor plays a wicked seductress who traps men and women in photographs and keeps them on her wall for all eternity.
