Who Are You Lyrics


Monday you sent me flowers
Tuesday made me feel stupid
Wednesday the world was ours
Thursday you didn’t prove it
Friday fell back in love
Saturday we didn't talk
Sunday you said you needed space

Do you miss me? Am I crazy?
Am I losing hold of your love baby?
Either you want me or you don't
I need to know, I need to know

Who Are You today?
Will you be the sun
Or the pouring rain?
Who are you tomorrow?
Will you make me smile
Or just bring me sorrow?
Who are you gonna be
When I'm lost and I'm scared?
Who are you gonna be
When there's nobody there?
Who are you today?
'Cause I am still the same

Monday you had my heart
Tuesday you had me screaming
Wednesday we didn't part
Thursday you didn't mean it
Friday I shook it off
Saturday you got it wrong
Sunday I said I needed space

Do you miss me? Am I crazy?
Am I losing hold of your love baby?
Either you want me or you don't
I need to know, I need to know

Who are you today?
Will you be the sun
Or the pouring rain?
Who are you tomorrow?
Will you make me smile
Or just bring me sorrow?
Who are you gonna be
When I'm lost and I'm scared?
Who are you gonna be
When there's nobody there?
Who are you today?
'Cause I am still the same

Who are you? Who are you?

It's so strange how the same thing
Can make you feel so right
And bring you so much pain.
It's so strange how the same face
Can you make you love until it hurts.
Where do we go? (where do we go?)
I need to know (I need to know)

Who are you today? (today)
Will you be the sun
Or the pouring rain? (the pouring rain)
Who are you tomorrow?
Will you make me smile
Or just bring me sorrow?
Who are you gonna be
When I'm lost and I'm scared?
Who are you gonna be
When there's nobody there?
Who are you today? (today)
'Cause I am still the same
The same

Who Are You
  • This emotional ballad is a track from Better Together, the debut EP by Fifth Harmony. Dinah Jane Hansen recalled the laying down of the Julian Bunetta produced track to MTV News. "We all came into the studio separately recording it," she said. "And then when Julian put the finishing touches to it and we all heard it, the first time we heard it we were all sobbing, and then we knew that's the one."
  • Camila Cabello explained the song's meaning: "It's a subject matter though that isn't really... It's not a generic subject matter," she said. "It's not a sad love song. It's not like boy doesn't like me back. It's like an actual bipolar relationship."

    Modest Mouse - The View Lyrics

    Your gun went off.
    Well you shot off your mouth and look where it got you.
    My mouth runs on too.

    Shouts from both sides,
    "Well we've got the land but they've got the view!"
    Well now here's the clue.

    Life it rents us.
    And yeah I hope it put plenty on you.
    Well I hope mine did too.

    As life gets longer, awful feels softer.
    Well it feels pretty soft to me.
    And if it takes shit to make bliss,
    Then I feel pretty blissfully.

    Your gun went off.
    Well you shot off your mouth and look where it got you.
    My mouth runs on too.

    Shouts from both sides,
    "Well we've got the land but they've got the view!"
    Well now here's the clue.

    We are fixed right where we stand.

    Life it rents us.
    And yeah I hope it put plenty on you.
    Well I hope mine did too.

    We are fixed right where we are.

    As life gets longer, awful feels softer.
    Well if feels pretty soft to me.
    And if it takes shit to make bliss,
    Well I feel pretty blissfully.

    For every invention made how much time did we save?
    We're not much farther than we were in the cave.

    As life gets longer, awful feels softer,
    And it feels pretty soft to me.
    And if it takes shit to make bliss,
    Well I feel pretty blissfully.

    If life's not beautiful without the pain,
    Well I'd just rather never ever even see beauty again.
    Well as life gets longer, awful feels softer.
    And it feels pretty soft to me.

    For every good deed done there is a crime committed.
    We are fixed.
    For every step ahead we could have just been seated.
    We are fixed.

    As life gets longer, awful feels softer.
    Well it feels pretty soft to me.
    And if it takes shit to make bliss,
    Well I feel pretty blissfully.

    We are fixed.
    We are fixed.
    We are fixed right where we stand.

  • The message of this song: Making mistakes and learning from them is part of life. You want something, you think it's great, but then realize that someone else has something better. Beauty is everywhere but painful experiences must be endured in order for one to feel that the beauty is really there. Life goes on, strife is endured, but in the end everything turns out how it is supposed to be.

    Katy Perry - Legendary Lovers Lyrics

    Under a silver moon, tropical temperature
    I feel my lotus bloom, come closer
    I want your energy, I want your aura
    You are my destiny, my mantra

    Never knew I could see something so clearly looking through my third eye
    Never knew karma could be so rewarding and bring me to your life
    Maybe this is the beginning of something so magical, tonight (oh, oh)

    Take me down to the river
    Underneath the blood orange sun
    Say my name like a scripture
    Keep my heart beating like a drum

    Legendary lovers, we could be legendary
    Legendary lovers, we should be legendary

    Go down in history
    Go down together, into infinity, forever
    You're Cleopatra
    You're blushing Juliet
    Anything for your love, a ride or die

    Never knew I could see something so clearly looking through my third eye
    Never knew karma could be so rewarding and bring me to your life
    Maybe this is the beginning of something so magical, tonight (oh, oh)

    Take me down to the river
    Underneath the blood orange sun
    Say my name like a scripture
    Keep my heart beating like a drum

    Legendary lovers, we could be legendary
    Legendary lovers, we should be legendary

    Take me down to the river
    Underneath the blood orange sun
    Say my name like a scripture
    Keep my heart beating like a drum

    Legendary lovers, we could be legendary
    Legendary lovers, we should be legendary

    Take me down to the river
    Underneath the blood orange sun
    Say my name like a scripture
    Keep my heart beating like a drum

    Legendary lovers, we could be legendary
    Legendary lovers, we should be legendary

    Legendary Lovers
  • This mystical love song finds Perry describing the eternal passion between herself and her beau as well as namechecking legendary lovers Egyptian Queen Cleopatra and Shakespeare's tragic heroine, Juliet. She sings on the chorus:

    "Take me down to the river
    Underneath the blood-orange sun
    Say my name like a scripture
    Keep my heart beating like a drum."

    Perry penned the song in her hometown of Santa Barbara with her frequent collaborators, Bonnie McKee, Henry Walter, Max Martin and Dr. Luke.
  • The dreamy EDM-lite tune features Indian percussion and lyrics focusing on Eastern religious concepts such as infinity and karma. "I think that we had a lot of fun on 'Legendary Lovers,'" Bonnie McKee told MTV News. "I feel like I was able to pull a lot of imagery from really early [Eastern-influenced] stuff that I did [when I was a kid and young songwriter], and it was a lot of fun to get into the Bollywood sort of theme 'cause I know she's always had an obsession with that to. I think they're pretty classic themes that she goes over. When you're writing love songs, it's always forever; they seem to always last throughout time."

    Rockabye Baby Lyrics


    Rockabye Baby
  • Originally titled "Hush-a-bye Baby," this nursery rhyme was said to be the first poem written on American soil (according to 1904's Book Lover). There's no official record, however, that proves when the song was written. Some sources claim it was as early as the 1500s. It first appeared in print in Mother Goose's Melody in 1765 and contained a stern morality lesson in the footnote: "This may serve as a Warning to the Proud and Ambitious, who climb so high that they generally fall at last."
  • Several rumors exist about "Rock-a-bye Baby's" origin, none of which has been proven:

    It was written by a pilgrim who sailed to America on the Mayflower. During this trip, the young passenger observed the way Native American women rocked their babies in birch-bark cradles suspended from the high branches of a tree, allowing the wind to rock the baby to sleep.

    Effie Crockett, a relative of Davy Crockett, wrote the lyrics in 1872 while babysitting a restless child. (Indeed, Crockett - known as Effie I. Canning - has an IMDB filmography containing over 175 credits for the extensive use of "Rock-a-bye Baby" in film and television.)

    It was inspired by an English family, the Kenyons, who lived in a vast tree house fashioned out of an ancient yew tree.

    Author Gerald Massey ties the rhyme into Egyptian mythology in his book Ancient Egypt, claiming the baby is the god Horus.
  • Another legend finds the rhyme's origins steeped in the political climate prior to the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The baby refers to the heir born to England's King James II. Supposedly written in an English pub, the original lyrics served as a death wish upon the newborn prince in hopes the empire would be overthrown.
  • Even though this song is supposed to be a lullaby with a tender melody, many claim it's violent and abusive. It starts out sweet and innocent with the gentle "Rock-a-bye Baby," but quickly turns to disaster with when the bough breaks and down comes baby, cradle and all.
  • The title "Rock-a-bye Baby" was used for a 1958 comedy starring Jerry Lewis as a TV repairman who agrees to care for his movie star sweetheart's triplets.
  • If you're looking for a version of this song where the baby doesn't meet its doom, Candice Night recorded a more comforting rendition for her 2015 album Starlight Starbright with her husband Ritchie Blackmore on guitar. Her lyric becomes:

    When that wind blows, there's nothing to fear
    'Cause mommy and daddy will always be here


    In our interview with Night , she said, "If you are a parent or caregiver you have absolutely every right - more than that, it should be your duty really - to do whatever you can do to comfort your child and let them know everything is all right. Even if it isn't... We all shoulder burdens and hide truths from our children so that they can retain their innocence. And the most vulnerable time for a child is right before bedtime. Why would anyone want to scare them at that moment?"

  • This song was influenced by Justin Timberlake. "I wrote it with that in mind," frontman Andy Brown told Digital Spy . "I've been listening to lots of Justin's new stuff like 'Suit & Tie', and I thought it would be great to do something a bit funkier."

    "We wrote really fast actually," Brown added. We did it in a couple of hours with producer Matt Schwartz, who's worked with Kylie. It was really fun writing it and we were listening to 'Senorita' by Justin and Earth Wind & Fire and stuff like that, so it was really cool to write a song like that."

    Experiment IV Lyrics


    We were working secretly for the military
    Our experiment in sound was nearly ready to begin
    We only know in theory what we are doing
    Music made for pleasure, music made to thrill
    It was music we were making here until
    They told us all they wanted
    Was a sound that could kill someone from a distance
    So we go ahead and the meters are over in the red
    It's a mistake in the making

    From the painful cries of mothers to a terrifying scream
    We recorded it and put it into our machine

    They told us all they wanted
    Was a sound that could kill someone from a distance
    So we go ahead and the meters are over in the red
    It's a mistake in the making

    It could feel like falling in love
    It could feel so bad
    It could feel so good
    It could sing you to sleep
    But that dream is your enemy!!

    We won't be there to be blamed
    We won't be there to snitch
    I just pray that someone there can hit the switch

    They told us all they wanted
    Was a sound that could kill someone from a distance
    So we go ahead and the meters are over in the red
    It's a mistake in the making

    And the public are warned to stay off

    Experiment IV
  • This song is about how sometimes scientists get so caught up in the pure science of what they are developing that they don't realize what purpose others may have for it. For example,when scientists started splitting atoms they probably did not think of the possible future applications as weapons.
  • The origin of this song came from Kate's consideration of music as such a beautiful thing and a positive force. The idea of something so beautiful being used to kill people was fascinating. There likely are sonic experiments of a similar type actually being carried out by militaries somewhere.
  • The Whole Story is a greatest hits album. This was the only new song included with songs from previous albums.

    Bite your face to spite your nose
    17 and a half years old
    I'm worrying about my brother finding out
    What’s the fun in doing what you're told?

    I said "No!"
    'Oh give it a rest, I could persuade you
    I'm not your typical, stoned 18 year old
    Give me a night I'll make you'
    "I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age
    But girl I'm not your savior"
    Wrestle to the ground
    God help me now because

    They're just Girls breaking hearts
    Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
    But she can't be what you need if she's 17
    They're just girls
    They're just girls

    A pair of frozen hands to hold
    Oh she's so southern so she feels the cold
    One moment I was tearing off your blouse
    Now you're living in my house
    What happened to just messing around?

    I said "Yo, I think I better go, I can't take you
    You just sit and get stoned with 30 year olds and you think you've made it"
    'Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes?'
    Wrestle to the ground
    God help me now because

    They're just girls breaking hearts
    Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
    But she can't be what you need if she's 17
    They're just girls
    They're just girls

    I told her from the start
    Destined to be hard
    I told her from the start
    I’ll break your heart
    Destined to be hard
    Break your heart

    I said "Yo, I think I better go. I can't take you"
    I know you're looking for salvation in the secular age
    But girl I'm not your savior"
    'Well, shouldn't you be fucking with somebody your age instead of making changes?'
    Wrestle to the ground
    God help me now because

    They're just girls breaking hearts
    Eyes bright, uptight, just girls
    But she can't be what you need if she's 17
    They're just girls
    They're just girls

    Girls
  • This song embodies a devil-may-care attitude, and vocalist Matt Healy and director Adam Powell penned a tongue-in-cheek video treatment to accompany the track. Filmed in LA, the clip sees the 1975 taking a playful poke at the 'off the shelf' major-label pop promo. Healy explained: "When we released our last video ('Sex'), people really reacted to the fact that it was in color. There was a lot of conjecture and talk surrounding it - due to the fact that it was an unexpected stylistic change. It was brought to our attention that certain people thought we were 'conforming to a record companies wishes' along with other expected and unexpected clichés. Obviously this couldn't be further from the truth, we are lucky enough to be surrounded by a group of individuals whose mantra centers on facilitating our creative wishes, we found the whole idea of us being told what to do fascinating."

    "The story of the band who suffer at the hands of a record label shortly after a delirious rise is a tale as old as time," he continued. "So we kinda wanted to make a tongue in cheek video about it. Twinned with our love of 80's pop, its innocence, grandiosity and conceptual ideas in music videos - we wanted to make a video about a record label's attempt at enforced conformity. We got our mate Adam down to a studio in Los Angeles at the start of our USA tour, got four models and made a video about us not wanting to make a video."

    Babooshka Lyrics


    She wanted to test her husband
    She knew exactly what to do
    A pseudonym to fool him
    She couldn't have made a worse move

    She sent him scented letters,
    And he received them with a strange delight.
    Just like his wife
    But how she was before the tears,
    And how she was before the years flew by,
    And how she was when she was beautiful.
    She signed the letter

    "All yours,
    Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
    All yours,
    Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!"

    She wanted to take it further,
    So she arranged a place to go,
    To see if he
    Would fall for her incognito.
    And when he laid eyes on her,
    He got the feeling they had met before.
    Uncanny how she
    Reminds him of his little lady,
    Capacity to give him all he needs,
    Just like his wife before she freezed on him,
    Just like his wife when she was beautiful.
    He shouted out, "I'm

    All yours,
    Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!
    All yours,

    Babooshka
  • This is about futile situations and how we often ruin things for ourselves. In the song, a man is tested by his wife when she starts sending anonymous scented letters. Seeing his reaction, she takes it further by arranging a meeting with her in disguise. Not knowing it is his own wife, he is reminded of his wife when she was younger and more amorous.
  • The word "Babooshka" is Russian for grandmother. It's also the name of a type of headdress. The title was chosen through a series of coincidences: Kate turned on the TV and someone was singing about Babooshka; looking through a magazine she came across an opera titled Babooshka, and a friend had a cat named Babooshka.
  • They went through a lot of boxes of broken crockery to get the right sound at the end of the song.
  • This reached #1 in Australia, #3 in France, and cracked the Top 10 in Canada and Ireland.

  • 18-year-old country singer-songwriter Rachel Farley penned this song in a session with Ross Copperman and Heather Morgan. She told Radio.com that the initial inspiration was a "haunting track" that Copperman created on his Mac computer, which then led to Morgan coming up with the song title.
  • Farley explained the song's meaning to Radio.com: "I've always loved the awkwardness and excitement of a new relationship," she said. "That moment when you're riding around in a car, and you're not sure how the night's going to end–if ya'll are going to kiss, or hold hands. And that's what 'Midnight Road' is about, that whole hodgepodge of emotions that situation brings on. And at the same time, [the female character] is taking charge, saying, 'I dare you to take it to the next level.'"

    Hammer Horror Lyrics


    You stood in the belltower,
    But now you're gone.
    So who knows all the sights
    Of Notre Dame?

    They've got the stars for the gallant hearts.
    I'm the replacement for your part.
    But all I want to do is forget
    You, friend.

    Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
    Won't leave me alone.
    The first time in my life,
    I leave the lights on
    To ease my soul.
    Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
    Won't leave it alone.
    I don't know,
    Is this the right thing to do?

    Rehearsing in your things,
    I feel guilty.
    And retracing all the scenes,
    Of your big hit,
    Oh, God, you needed the leading role.
    It wasn't me who made you go, though.
    Now all I want to do is forget
    You, friend.

    Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
    Won't leave me alone.
    The first time in my life,
    I leave the lights on
    To ease my soul.
    Hammer Horror, Hammer Horror,
    Won't leave it alone.
    I don't know,
    Is this the right thing to do?

    Who calls me from the other side
    Of the street?
    And who taps me on the shoulder?
    I turn around, but you're gone.

    Hammer Horror
  • The song is about two actors who are friends. One is playing the lead role in a production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a part he's read all of his life and has been waiting for a chance to play. After many rehearsals he accidentally dies and his friend is asked to take over the role,which he does because his own career is on the line. The dead man comes back to haunt him because he doesn't want him to have the role, believing that he is taking away the only chance he ever had in life. The actor is saying, "Leave me alone, it's not my fault. I have to take this role but I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do because the ghost won't leave me alone and is really freaking me out. I see him at every corner."
  • This was inspired by James Cagney playing the role of Lon Chaney as the hunchback-he was an actor in an actor in an actor, rather like Chinese boxes, and that was what Kate was trying to create.

    Goodbye Ain't Always Gone
  • Hoge explained the story behind this intently personal song to Billboard magazine. "A good friend of mine, Keith Brogdon, was raised by his grandfather," he said. "He passed away early in our friendship. It was like losing a father for him. I remember talking to him, and making sure he was OK. There had been a lady who had taken care of him the last few weeks of his life, and she came to Keith and said 'A closed eye ain't sleeping, and a goodbye ain't always gone.' I don't really know what any of that meant in that setting, but it just stuck with me. I held on to it for a real long time, and we put that into the song."

    Mr. Brightside Lyrics


    Coming out of my cage
    And I've been doing just fine
    Gotta gotta be down
    Because I want it all
    It started out with a kiss
    How did it end up like this
    It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
    Now I'm falling asleep
    And she's calling a cab
    While he's having a smoke
    And she's taking a drag
    Now they're going to bed
    And my stomach is sick
    And it's all in my head
    But she's touching his chest
    Now, he takes off her dress
    Now, letting me go

    I just can't look its killing me
    And taking control
    Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
    Swimming through sick lullabies
    Choking on your alibis
    But it's just the price I pay
    Destiny is calling me
    Open up my eager eyes
    Cause I'm Mr Brightside

    I'm coming out of my cage
    And I've been doing just fine
    Gotta gotta be down
    Because I want it all
    It started out with a kiss
    How did it end up like this
    It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
    Now I'm falling asleep
    And she's calling a cab
    While he's having a smoke
    And she's taking a drag
    Now they're going to bed
    And my stomach is sick
    And it's all in my head
    But she's touching his chest
    Now, he takes off her dress
    Now, letting me go

    'Cause I just can't look its killing me
    And taking control
    Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
    Swimming through sick lullabies
    Choking on your alibi
    But it's just the price I pay
    Destiny is calling me
    Open up my eager eyes
    'Cause I'm Mr Brightside
    I never
    I never
    I never
    I never

    Mr. Brightside
  • Killers guitarist Dave Keuning wrote this about lead singer Brandon Flowers' ex-girlfriend who cheated on him. Flowers recalled to Q magazine March 2009 how he discovered her with another man at the Crown and Anchor pub in his hometown of Las Vegas: "I was asleep and I knew something was wrong. I have these instincts. I went to the Crown and Anchor and my girlfriend was there with another guy." Flowers added that the song was "born" at the Crown and Anchor.
  • In the video, actress Izabella Miko (of Coyote Ugly) plays the girlfriend. Eric Roberts (Julia's brother) also stars in the video as the bad guy. This wasn't his first star turn in a major video: he also appeared in Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together."

    The clip was directed by Sophie Muller, who has done over 100 videos, including several for Gwen Stefani.
  • In England, fans of Manchester United and Everton football teams have their own rendition of this song in praise of their former player Norman Whiteside.
  • Brandon Flowers told NME the story of the song in a 2012 interview: "We must've written it around the end of 2001. Dave and I were writing a ton of songs at the time, trying to figure out what it was that made us tick. I remember us going into the Virgin Megastore to buy (The Strokes') Is This It on the day it came out and, when we put it on in the car, that record just sounded so perfect. I got so depressed after that, we threw away everything and the only song that made the cut and remained was 'Mr. Brightside.'"

    He continued: "It came from this cassette of ideas that Dave gave me, and one of them was the 'Mr. Brightside' riff. I was able to slap a chorus and some lyrics onto it, and I knew I liked it. But it wasn't until we first tried it out with a drummer that I knew it was special. We went to the guy's house and showed him the song, and I got the goosebumps after that.

    Lyrically, it's about an odd girlfriend of mine. All the emotions in the song are real. When I was writing the lyrics, my wounds from it were still fresh. I am Mr. Brightside! But I think that's the reason the song has persisted - because it's real. People pick up on those things. And that goes all the way down to the production; we recorded it in a couple of hours, but it just sounds right, you know?"
  • The song returned to the Top 40 of the UK singles chart in 2013 after the band performed it on The X Factor.
  • Flowers recalled to NME in 2013: "I remember being in the studio, recording the demo but still writing the lyrics. I was procrastinating, and that's why the second verse is the same as the first one, but it just stuck."
  • A video showing a pub sing-a-long of the song at an Irish wake went viral in late March 2016. Brian O'Sullivan from Killorglin, County Kerry is seen paying his respects to Ger 'Farmer' Foley, who passed away at the age of 45, by prompting a mass rendition of the tune at Falvey's bar.

    The Killers endorsed the clip, writing on Twitter: "Brian O'Sullivan, if Brandon ever needs a fill-in, we're calling you! May we all have friends like this #farmersrule".
