We Loved It

Legend penned this track with Kanye West and Jeff Bhasker, the man behind much of Yeezy's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album. The song features a vocal contribution from Seal. Legend explained during his NYC iHeart Radio Live show how his collaboration with the English singer-songwriter came to be: "Kanye was working at the Mercer hotel in New York. He was mainly working on Watch the Throne at that time, with Jay-Z," he recalled. "He invited me over every once in a while to work on my album, when he had time to pull himself away from Watch the Throne. He ran into Seal in the lobby of the Mercer and invited him up to the room where we were working. Seal and I, Kanye and Jeff Bhasker wrote the song together in that moment."

"Whenever you write a song especially early in the process of the album, you never know what's gonna happen with it but this one came out beautifully," Legend added.

So Cold Lyrics

Crowded streets all cleared away
One by one
Hollow heroes separate
As they run

You're So Cold
Keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while
Strong men die

Show me how it ends
It's alright
Show me how defenseless
You really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright
Let's give this another try

If you find your family
Don't you cry
In this land of make believe
Dead and dry

You're so cold
But you feel alive
Lay your hands on me
One last time

Show me how it ends
It's alright
Show me how defenseless
You really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright
Let's give this another try

Show me how it ends
It's alright
Show me how defenseless
You really are
Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright
Let's give this another try

It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright

Prey For Me Lyrics

How come what's wrong with you
Darling faces are some we found
Let's do what devils do
Hiding in shadows, no-ones around
Why can't I torture you
Giving pain you take it away
The little things you do
Simply I love your evil ways
Your ways, your ways, your ways

Prey For Me,
I think I owe you an apology
Somehow you bring the violence out in me
I'm just a shell of what I used to be
Passion is sometimes a fucked up thing for me

This time it follows you
Nothings left, your dead on the ground
How can I covet you
Give you hell and you can't be found
My soul infested you
Blackened thoughts they run through your head
The little things you do
Simply I wish you were dead
Were dead, were dead, were dead

Prey for me
I think I owe you an apology
Somehow you bring the violence out in me
I'm just a shell of what I used to be
Passion is sometimes a fucked up thing for me

(Prey for me) I think I owe you an apology,
(Prey for me) somehow you bring the violence out in me,
(Prey for me) I'm just a shell of what I used to be
Passion is sometimes a fucked up thing for me

Goodbye, so long
Wish I could stay but everything is all wrong
Goodbye, so long
Wish I could stay but everything is all wrong
Everything is all wrong
Too! wrong! wrong! too! wrong!

Prey for me
I think I owe you an apology
Somehow you bring the violence out in me
I'm just a shell of what I used to be
Passion is sometimes a fucked up thing for me

(Prey for me) I think I owe you an apology,
(Prey for me) somehow you bring the violence out in me
(Prey for me) I'm just a shell of what I used to be
Passion is sometimes a fucked up thing for me

The Saga Begins Lyrics

A long long time ago
In a galaxy far away
Naboo was under an attack
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
Could talk the Federation into
Maybe cutting them a little slack
But their response, it didn't thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
We escaped from that gas
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
We took a bongo from the scene
And we went to Theed to see the queen
We all wound up on Tatooine
That's where we found this boy

Oh my my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi,
Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn't even old enough to shave
But he can use the Force they say
Ah, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
Yeah, he's probably gonna marry her someday
Well, I know he built C3PO
And I've heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke, it's true
So we made a wager or two
He was a prepubescent flyin' ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
Well, I know who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy

We started singin', my my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
"Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

Now we finally got to Coruscant
The Jedi Council we knew would want
To see how good the boy could be
So we took him there and we told the tale
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy
Oh, the Council was impressed, of course
Could he bring balance to the force?
They interviewed the kid
Oh, training they forbid
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
And Qui-Gon said, "Now listen here
Just stick it in your pointy ear
I still will teach this boy"

He was singin' my my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi,
Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

We caught a ride back to Naboo
Cause Queen Amidala wanted to
I frankly would've liked to stay
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasn't long at all before
Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day
And in the end some Gungans died
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
A lot of folks were croakin'
The battle droids were broken
And the Jedi I admire most
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast
Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost
I guess I'll train this boy

And I was singin', my my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi
Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
We were singin', my my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later, now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

The Saga Begins

This parody of Don McLean's song "American Pie" summarizes the movie Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in five-and-a-half minutes. It goes full-geek, getting into details like the journey to Coruscant and an encounter with Anakin at Tatooine.

The song is exceptionally long, but that's part of the joke: "American Pie" was one of the longest hit songs ever recorded, running 8:33.

This song was released before Star Wars: Episode I came out in theaters. Yankovic learned plot points by going online to check out spoilers for the movie.

George Lucas was OK with this, and happy to get the Weird Al treatment, as it built anticipation for the film.

Don McLean was pleased with the parody and even told Al that his lyrics sometimes enter his mind during concerts. Most of Al's fans had no knowledge of McLean's song from 1971, but the year after "The Saga Begins" was released, Madonna did a Dance cover of "American Pie." Many listeners wondered by Madonna was remixing a Weird Al song.

Aura Lyrics

I killed my former and
Left her in the trunk on highway ten
Put the knife under the hood
If you find it, send it straight to Hollywood

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Aura-a-a-a aura-a-a-a
Aura-a-a-a aura-a-a-a
Aura-a-a-a aura-a-a-a

I'm not a wandering slave I am a woman of choice
My veil is protection for the gorgeousness of my face
You ought to pity me 'cause was always one man to love
But in the bedroom the size of him's more than enough

Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the aura, behind the aura?
Do you wanna touch me, cosmic lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the aura?
Behind the aura, behind the aura, behind the aura?

Enigma pop star is fun, she wear burqa for fashion
It's not a statement as much as just a move of passion
I may not walk on your street or shoot a gun on your soil
I hear you screaming, is it because of pleasure or toil?

Dance, sex, art, pop, tech
Dance, sex, art, pop, tech

Do you wanna see me naked, lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the aura, behind the aura?
Do you wanna touch me, cosmic lover?
Do you wanna peek underneath the cover?
Do you wanna see the girl who lives behind the aura?
Behind the aura, behind the curtain, behind the burga

Aura

This thumping dance song finds Gaga singing about fame and adoration as she asks the listeners if they want to "see the girl who lives behind the aura." The aura is a term used within Islam, which denotes the intimate parts of the body that must be covered with clothing.

Gaga uses the Islamic traditions that women should cover their bodies in public as a metaphor for life as a celebrity. The Mother Monster is saying that it is her choice to well the veil of fame in order to retain an aura of mystery.

The growling, exotic tune track was produced by Russian-German producer and DJ Zedd. He is best known for his single "Clarity," as well as co-producing Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj's hit tune "Beauty And A Beat." Zedd first linked up with Lady when his remix of her "Marry the Night" track appeared on the special edition of Born This Way. "I think 'Aura' [is] one of the most interesting and unique electronic songs ever, honestly," Zedd commented to MTV News. "It's so crossing over to, you know, there's so many guitars and it's like an oriental vibe. And there's a hard electronic drop and kind of a minimal drop in the end. I don't how to describe it, it's kind of cool."

The song's lyric video was directed by Robert Rodriguez and promotes his 2013 exploitation action film Machete Kills. Gaga made her first foray into acting in the movie playing the gun-toting Lady Chameleon. The song also featured in a trailer for the flick.

Gaga made available with the ARTPOP release an app, playable on Android and iOS. The singer worked with Max Weisel of Relative Wave who also worked on Bjork's 2011 app for her Biophilia album. It includes a glowy character named Petga, who will help the user create an aura that will grow and change as they use the app more and more.

Buzzcut Season Lyrics

I remember when your head caught flame
It kissed your scalp and caressed your brain
Well you laughed, baby it's okay
It's buzz cut season anyway
(Well you laughed, baby it's okay)

Explosions on TV, and all the girls with heads inside a dream
So now we live beside the pool, where everything is good

We ride the bus with the knees pulled in
People should see how we're living
(We ride the bus with the knees pulled in)
Shut my eyes to the song that plays
Sometimes this has a hot, sweet taste
(Shut my eyes to the song that plays)

The men up on the news, they try to tell us all that we will lose
But it's so easy in this blue, where everything is good

And I'll never go home again (place the call, feel it start)
Favorite friend (and nothing's wrong when nothing's true)
I live in a hologram with you
Where all the things that we do for fun (and I'll breathe, and it goes)
Play along (make-believe it's hyper real)
But I live in a hologram with you

Cola with the burnt-out taste
I'm the one you tell your fears to
There'll never be enough of us

Explosions on TV, and all the girls with heads inside a dream
So now we live beside the pool, where everything is good

And I'll never go home again (place the call, feel it start)
Favorite friend (and nothing's wrong when nothing's true)
I live in a hologram with you
Where all the things that we do for fun (and I'll breathe, and it goes)
Play along (make-believe it's hyper real)
But I live in a hologram with you

Pictures Of You Lyrics

I've been looking so long at these Pictures Of You
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel

Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go

Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything

If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Pictures Of You

In this song, lead singer Robert Smith seems haunted by pictures of the girl he lost. Like many Cure songs, it's an emotional song about love. Many of us at one time feel the way he feels in this song.

Many of Robert Smith's compositions are inspired by literature. "Pictures Of You" was based on an essay by Myra Poleo called The Dark Power of Ritual Pictures. Smith says that after reading it, he destroyed his old personal photos and many of his home videos in an effort to wipe away his past. He came to regret the decision a few days later.

The song has been featured on US teen drama One Tree Hill and the 2012 romantic drama The Vow.

Rolling Stone magazine placed the track 278th on their 2004 list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Smith has given conflicting accounts of what events inspired the song. In other interviews he has said that the song was the result of losing pictures he carried around in his wallet, many from before he was born.
What is certain is that the song is defined by an overwhelming sense of loss. Smith explained the emotions behind the lyrics in a 1989 interview with Music Box TV: "It's about the idea you hold someone. It goes back a bit to a song like 'How Beautiful You Are.' The idea of you hold someone isn't really what that person is like. Sometimes you completely lose touch with what a person has turned into. You just want to hold onto what they were."

Love Money Party Lyrics

Money ain't nothing but money
When you get to the money, ain't nothing but money
Love ain't nothing but love, when you learn to love, ain't nothing but love
Party ain't nothing but a party when you party everyday, ain't nothing but a party

Love, money, party, love, money, party
Love, money, party, love, money, party
We want love, money, party

If I can't trust then why am I giving my heart
In exchange for him to love me
'Cause there ain't much difference
In a one night stand then one that ain't for me
Giving too much cause you hate that you love
Everything that he do and you can't deny you want him
So what, light a fire underneath this bitch and blow

Money ain't nothing, money can't buy you love
I don't give a damn if he's sitting on a crib
Money ain't nothing, what about the real and the way you build
Money get low and the DJ stop and the music slow down and the shit gets blurry

Love, money, party
Money ain't nothing but money
When you get to the money, ain't nothing but money
Love ain't nothing but love, when you learn to love, ain't nothing but love
Party ain't nothing but a party when you party everyday, ain't nothing but a party

Love, money, party, love, money, party
Love, money, party, love, money, party
We want love, money, party

I've been through heartbreaks, heartbreaks
Much for anybody with a human heart to take
You know it's something that you care to elaborate
But I've been left with the live bait
I done messed with the fire, I met a girl on the side
I done leave it all on the line

Money ain't nothing, money can't buy you love
I don't give a damn if he's sitting on a crib
Money ain't nothing, what about the real and the way you build
Money get low and the DJ stop and the music slow down and the shit gets blurry

Love, money, party
Money ain't nothing but money
When you get to the money, ain't nothing but money
Love ain't nothing but love, when you learn to love, ain't nothing but love
Party ain't nothing but a party when you party everyday, ain't nothing but a party

Love, money, party, love, money, party
Love, money, party, love, money, party
We want love, money, party

Okay, I walk in, sorta late
My girl and watch both coordinate
They both got that gorgeous face
They both shine, they both mine
Getting green 'cause it's go time
God damn, I'm so fine
All the guys oh super model type girls
Yeah, I'm chilling with those kind
B.I.G. Sean don, whine Perion
Detroit, player boy, get my berry on
On an all night flight to an island
I'll be gone in the morning
I don't even need a carry on
What, this that all night, get dressed up shit
Red cup, get messed up shit
Me and Miley, it's just us bitch

Money ain't nothing but money
When you get to the money, ain't nothing but money
Love ain't nothing but love, when you learn to love, ain't nothing but love
Party ain't nothing but a party when you party everyday, ain't nothing but a party

Love, money, party, love, money, party
Love, money, party, love, money, party

Looking back at sunsets on the East side
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things sat by so carelessly

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did

Smile like you mean it

Smile like you mean it

This is about two-faced girls with fake smiles and fake conversations. "It was very personal to me, and that's one of the things that's amazing about music - we all bring our own meaning to songs," Brandon Flowers recalled to NME in 2013. "It was quite a sophisticated song for where we were at that time, I think."

Maybe You're Right Lyrics

Chapter one we started happy
The second that you said you loved me
Started questioning us, are we really in love
Trying to figure out chapter three
But you're not giving me anything
If this is what we are, then I gotta move on
You think this is everything
But this is no book of us

You might think I'm crazy
That I'm lost and foolish
Leaving you behind
Maybe You're Right
You might think I'm crazy
That I'm lost and foolish leaving you behind
Maybe you're right
Maybe you're right

Here comes the part of you and me
Arguing about nothing
You told me it's as good as it gets
Yeah I'm real emotional
Blame it on your mental jokes
How much did you think that I could take
So much for taking this too far
You can't blame me for who I am
It's too late for us to try to be in love right now

You might think I'm crazy (crazy)
That I'm lost and foolish
Leaving you behind
Maybe you're right
You might think I'm crazy
That I'm lost and foolish leaving you behind
Maybe you're right
Maybe you're right

Felt the pages now, this chapter's done
Moving on up and forward onto all that will become
If you ever get to the place where the sun is shining every day
Then I'll be on your mind

You might think I'm crazy
That I'm lost and foolish
Leaving you behind
Maybe you're right
You might think I'm crazy
That I'm lost and foolish leaving you behind
Maybe you're right
Maybe you're right

Maybe You're Right

This song finds Miley relating a deteriorating relationship to the chapters of a book. "You might think I'm crazy… Maybe you're right," she belts, "This chapter's done." Many of Miley's fans have interpreted the song as a glimpse into what went wrong in the singer's romance with the Australian actor Liam Hemsworth.

The song is one of seven tracks on Bangerz that were produced by Mike Will Made It, who also served as executive producer on the album. The Atlanta producer made his name with rappers like 2 Chainz and Juicy J, but this record sees him making the transition into the pop world. "I've known about him because I listened to a lot of Hip-Hop," Cyrus said in her documentary Miley: The Movement. "I just fell in love with his beats and how young he was. No pop chicks are real messing with him like that."

O-o-h Child

The Five Stairsteps were formed in Chicago in 1965 and comprised of Burke family members Clarence Jr., James, Aloha, Kenneth and Dennis. They got their name when "Momma Stairsteps" (as Betty Burke was affectionately called) noticed that her kids looked like stair steps when stood next to each other according to age.

This song of comfort and hope was written by Soul songwriter/producer Stan Vincent, who also worked with The Soul Generation and The Legionnaires.

Other artists to record this include Richie Havens, Daryl Hall and The Edwin Hawkins Singers.

Verizon used this in a commercial television advertisement campaign. In 2007, the song was also used in a commercial for the ADHD Road Map to Success Kit.

This features in a scene in Boyz and the Hood when Laurence Fishburne's character is riding in his car with his son. When "O-o-h Child" comes up on the radio, he declares, "Man, I love this song!" and starts singing along to it.

A cover by Dino peaked at #27 on the Hot 100 in 1993. It was the fifth and last single to reach the Top 40 for the Pop-Dance singer.

Cubie Burke, the youngest member of the group, was only five years old when he sang on this.
