Falling Lyrics

I hurl into the moment like I'm standing at the edge (I know)
That no one's gonna turn me 'round
Just one more step, I could let go
Oh and in the middle,
I hear the voices and they're calling for me now (I know)
And nothing's gonna wake me now
'Cause I'm a slave to the sound

And they're calling,
Don't stop, no, I'll never give up
And I'll never look back, just hold your head up
And if it gets rough, it's time to get rough
They keep saying
Don't stop, no one's ever enough
I'll never look back, never give up
And if it gets rough, it's time to get rough
But now I'm Falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling,
Falling, falling, falling, falling, oh

Now we're going down,
And I can feel the eyes are watching us so closely oh
I'm trying not to make a sound
'Cause I'll be found out somehow

So keep calling,
Don't stop, no, I'll never give up
And I'll never look back, just hold your head up
And if it gets rough, it's time to get rough
They keep saying
Don't stop, no one's ever enough
I'll never look back, never give up
And if it gets rough, it's time to get rough
But now I'm falling

Into the fire feeling higher than the truth
(I'm falling)
I can feel the heat but I'm not burning
(But now I'm falling)
Feeling desire, feeling tired, hungry too
(I'm falling)
Feels like I'm falling, yeah
I can hear them calling
(I'm falling)

Into the fire feeling higher than the truth
(I'm falling)
I can feel the heat but I'm not burning
(But now I'm falling)
Feeling desire, feeling tired, hungry too
(I'm falling)
Feels like I'm falling, yeah
I can hear them calling
(Now I'm falling)

Falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling,
Falling, falling, falling, oh
Oh and now I'm falling

Falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling,
Falling, falling, falling, oh

Falling, falling, falling, falling
Fall yeah
And now I'm falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Fall yeah
And now I'm falling

Into the fire feeling higher than the truth
(But now I'm falling)
I can feel the heat but I'm not burning
(I'm falling)
Feeling desire, feeling tired, hungry too
(But now I'm falling)
Feels like I'm falling, yeah
I can hear them calling for me
(I'm falling)

Into the fire feeling higher than the truth
(Now I'm falling)
I can feel the heat but I'm not burning
(I'm falling)
Feeling desire, feeling tired, hungry too
(Now I'm falling)
It feels like I'm falling, yeah
I can hear them calling for me

Falling

The third single from American girl group Haim's debut studio album, Days Are Gone, is an R&B banger that finds vocalist Danielle Haim crooning about matters of the heart. The song was released in Britain on February 12, 2013 and peaked at #30 on the UK Singles Chart.

The video was directed by Tabitha Denholm, formerly of the band Queens of Noize, and was shot in the hills near Pasadena, California, with some scenes shot at a botanical garden. The idea was for the Haim sisters to look stranded.

Danielle Hain told VH1: "I think we wrote the song at a time when we weren't playing around LA, nothing was really happening. We kinda wrote it as a 'Stay strong' kind of cheerleading song."

Producer Ariel Rechtshaid told The Guardian that he recorded a live version of the song, which he used as a framework for his knob twiddling. "I was messing around with 'Falling' while they were on tour," he explained. "Their live version had a lot of percussion on it – almost a Talking Heads jam session. I got my hands on an original LM-1 Linn drum; it's got a really special swing and groove to it, and I recreated Danielle's drum pattern on that – it inspired one thing and another. Layers and layers came together."

At one point in the video, Alana Haim pulls a fish out of the water. She wiggles it convincingly, but this fish was already dead. Director Tabitha Denholm says that she tried shooting the scene with a live fish, but Alana couldn't hold on to it, so a lifeless substitute shaken for effect was used instead.

Days Are Gone Lyrics

And I got back up
When I lost control over it all, over it all
And I knew that I couldn't take no more
'Cause I want it all, I want it all
All the times I've said it
All the times I've said it before
Those Days Are Gone
'Cause you didn't know how
And I know that now
I want it all, I want it all

Felt like I was walking on a tight rope
Those days are gone, those days are gone
Sometimes I wish I didn't miss you at all
Those days are gone
Holding on, holding on, holding on
Those days are gone
And now I'm waiting for the day to dawn
Those days are gone

I remember when you found it hard to give
But I gave it all, I gave you my all
You only took one side
When all my hopes ran dry
Those dreams are gone, gone all along
All the times I said it
All the times I've said it before
I'm moving on
You can have my past, I'll never get that back
I'm moving on, 'cause those days are gone

Felt like I was walking on a tight rope
Those days are gone, those days are gone
Sometimes I wish I didn't miss you at all
Those days are gone
Holding on, holding on, holding on
Those days are gone
And now I'm waiting for the day to dawn
Those days are gone

Days are gone, days are gone, ha
Days are gone, days are gone, ha
All my love that I can't hide
All my love now you can't find it

Days are gone, days are gone, ha
Days are gone, days are gone, ha
All my love that I can't hide
All my love now you can't find it

Days are gone, days are gone, ha
Days are gone, days are gone, ha
All my love that I can't hide
All my love now you can't find it

Days are gone, days are gone, ha
Days are gone, days are gone, ha
All my love that I can't hide
All my love now you can't find it

Those days are gone, those days are gone
Those days are gone, holding on,
Holding on, holding on
Those days are gone
Those days are gone

Days Are Gone

The Haim sisters wrote this song with British pop soul songstress Jessie Ware and her frequent songwriting partner, Nu-Folk artist Kid Harpoon. The American trio met Ware through a mutual friend while they were on tour in London and despite her tight schedule, managed to pen this tune during a five-hour lunch. Haim didn't set out to write a song that would end up on Days On Gone since as Alana of the trio explained to Radio.com , "It was mostly like, 'Let's write a song so you don't get in trouble,'" but they soon realized it was too good to pass up.

Danielle Haim told MTV News why they named their debut album after this song. The sisters had intended to go the eponymous route but changed their minds after realizing "Days Are Gone" was the perfect metaphor for their many missed album deadlines. "A lot of people actually wanted us to hand in the record a lot earlier than we did because the Forever EP, came out over a year ago," she said. "But it wasn't right."

Haim wrote the chorus with Jessie Ware in an hour. Este Haim told NME: "The entire first line was written after a dinner we had at 11 at night in the studio. The first thing I sang when I got on the mic stuck."
Alana added: "The spirit of Mariah Carey just flew into Este's body."

Love Is A Silent Thief

The presence of Katie Melua's husband, former superbike champion James Toseland, looms largely over her sixth album Ketevan. This song, for instance, explores difficulties relationships face. "You don't suddenly get married and everything is rosy all the time," Katy told The Sun. "He still doesn't recycle properly."

The album title refers to Georgian-born Katie Melua's proper first name, Ketevan. She is known as Ketino to her family.

Betrayed Lyrics

Passion in my eyes, I lived it everyday, but how could you go throw it all away?
In my dreams it's me and you, it's there I saw it all come true
As time went by faith in you grew, so one thing's left for me to do (finish you)

I feel it burn inside, burn like the rising sun
Lifted into the sky, took away the only thing I loved
I know after tonight all your power crumbles in my arms
So don't worry, I'll be fine, when my life ends, I'll leave this scar

A smoking gun in your hand, now don't you realize what you've done
Put a bullet in his back, your hero since you were so young
How could you kill the man who brought salvation through your pain
He must mean everything to end it all this shameful way

I started here so young and helped you get along
Just did it for the love, and people healed through us
Don't live your life in vain, don't take it out on me
You're cracked, so just remember, I'm not your enemy
I don't deserve to fall this way, by a man who felt Betrayed

I felt so down now you're around to rescue me
Every note and every word i'm listening
Sometimes problems seem too deep to take
Sometimes I cry thinking my future looks so bleak
Finally, together we were destined, I know what's best for us in the end
Someone hear me, someone stop me, someone listen, why aren't you listening?

This is about the shooting of former Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell in a Columbus night club in late 2004:
"A smoking gun in hand, now don't you realize what you've done
Put a bullet in his back, your hero since you were so young
How could you kill the man who brought salvation through your pain
He must mean everything to end it all this shameful way"
It's a tribute to Dimebag.

Headphones Lyrics

I'mma turn my Headphones up
And fly away, blast of to the stars
Cause I don't wanna think
When I feel the hope is gone
He knows my pain (Uh!)
Can you help me, (Yeah!) to (uh-uh-uh) live with me, today
Today, today I wanna fly away (Uh!)
Today (Yeah!), today (uh-uh-uh) I wanna fly away

Wish that I could fly, fly away
Looking for a brighter day, a brighter day
Run Away from yesterday, yesterday
And take all of my Ghetto boys and girls with me
And, even if we don't know when we're in a race
And put a big smile on our mama face
F-Fly away, flying down the Highway
Livin' in the moment, with my shawty right beside me
Touch the sky up, take it higher
Way up till we floating, we let everybody know
That we go make it righter, make it righter, oh yeah
Today!

I'mma turn my headphones up
And fly away, blast of to the stars
Cause I don't wanna think (I don't wanna)
When I feel the hope is gone

Today, today I wanna fly away
Today, today I wanna fly away

(Let's go!)
I wish that I could hit the block, chillin' with the Homies
Posted on the corner, with no cops checking on us
Take everybody that's with our houses and make a monastery
Health, care, I swear, I do it right now
Tell every boy that had a father at home
If I could I would make you my own
No [single women](undefined) should have to raise you alone
Gimme you're hand, yeah understand together we can
Touch the sky up, take it higher
Way up till we floating, we let everybody know
That we go make it righter, make it righter, oh yeah

They can't drop you (drop you down!)

This M.O. track features the Canadian-Portuguese songstress Nelly Furtado. Speaking with Digital Spy , the rapper called it the "first ever Nelly and Nelly collaboration." Nelly added: "It's me, you know. It's more of a stressless song and something that's very inspiring. It's something that I think people were probably expecting as a love song from Nelly and Nelly, so we definitely wanted to take it into a different direction to make people think a little bit."

Black Moon Lyrics

(So)
You know what, you can't come floppin' that shit
If you run up, guess what, I'm stoppin' that shit
Still can't figure out nothin' or find flaws
Take the Pauls, better recognize bodies on the lawn

If you see such, might touch, home is the crutch
Roll the dutch with the bunch of we never have enough
Hold steady for the lyrical melee with delicate rhymes
An alphabetical order of one at a time

Should we break it up? Welcome the true while you fearin' it
And lookin' at the youth, whatcha gonna do? They hearin' it
Don't hate your face, still in the air lookin' at
You made me twist you up your all crooked now

Take a step back sucker, you get spit on
Payback comin' from all of those you shit on
(Why?)

Whatcha gonna do? I got mad crew
You on the camera, guess what? I see you
(So what?)
Whatcha gonna do? I got mad crew
You on the camera, bitch what? I see you

Check the mic cord every place I roam
And all the bullshit cease when I pull my chrome
It's automatic, drastic the way I blow you
Incredible and unforgettable

I make you bounce to the rhythm, what counts I hit 'em
Straight ounce of venom and great amounts of visim
I'm the psycho lookin' for the prey
All the way out in the boondocks with the AK on
(Why?)

Whatcha gonna do? I got mad crew
You on the camera, guess what? I see you
(So what?)
Whatcha gonna do? I got mad crew
You on the camera, bitch what? I see you

The hand on the clock's tickin', the plot thickens
Times runnin' out, you can't hide from the gat clickin' punk
Hit the floor rhyme to even the score, people
We'll be hearin' about the way ya were in folklore

'cause MC's amaze and the people you knew were rippin' up
Rollin' em up with weed then spliff 'em I got the need
Say what, what, you want somethin' to pump up
Jump up just like a record that cut up

Try to nut up think it's funny
I'll wrap your ass up like the mummy
With rhymes, sucka's they run from me
Wanna get away, that's a better way, ya heard

(Why?)
Tell me the word and kilts comin' with poison verbs
And vocab sucka's be leavin' out on the slab

(Why?)
Whatcha gonna do? I got mad crew
You on the camera, guess what? I see you
(So what?)
Whatcha gonna do? I got mad crew
You on the camera, bitch what? I see you

Whatcha gonna do? I got mad crew
You on the camera, guess what? I see you
(So what?)
Whatcha gonna do? I got mad crew
You on the camera, bitch what? I see you

So what? So what?

Black Moon

From the linear notes, lead singer Chino Moreno: "This song was the very last thing recorded for the White Pony sessions. I remember getting a call from B Real (from Cypress Hill) asking me if I had finished recording the lines he had asked me to speak for the song Rock Superstar. I told him that I was finished, though I hadn't actually gotten around to doing it. He said, 'Cool, I'm right around the corner from the studio. I'll swing by and pick it up.' So I quickly ran into the vocal booth and asked Terry to hit 'record.' I recorded around two minutes of me rambling on a DAT and literally ejected the tape as he walked in. Anyway, that same day I asked him if he would be down to record some vocals for a song Crook and I had been working on titled Black Moon, and it would be sort of like a trade for the thing I had done for Rock Superstar. I ended up feeling kind of bad because the original version of Black Moon was like five long verses. So he sat wrote three full pages of lyrics compared to my couple sentences. Some trade. I just recently got a copy of what we did and edited it down for this record. Cypress has and always will be some of my favorite rap sh*t. I felt truly honored for the opportunity to work with B. I want to do it again."

Father Sun

This duet with Sammy's son Aaron Hagar is a track from Sammy Hagar and Friends, the vocalist's first-ever Rock collaborations album. He told Jam! Music the inspiration for this song. "I go to this little island called Taha'a and there's about 60 people on it," he explained. "I said, 'Okay, I'm taking my family the day after Christmas. No guitar. No tape recorders. No music.' ... I was there about four days and every night at dinner they'd bring in these people from these islands. A lady beating on a drum - boom, boom, boom - and these Tahitian ukuleles and these weird string instruments and they would sing the most beautiful music, French Polynesian music. Anyways, I got so damn inspired that I bought one of those instruments off a guy, 'cause you couldn't go anywhere to buy one, so I said, 'Just sell me your thing.' And I started writing on it and wrote the song called 'Father Sun.'"

Hagar told Jam Music how his son Aaron ended up singing on this song. " At 40 he decides now he's going to be a singer," he explained, "He just kills me 'cause he's such a great artist. He can sing. He can play instruments. He can paint ... He's really creative, paints, draws, sculpts, builds cars from scratch. So he can do anything but if he wants to pursue a musical career, he's got good talent. I asked him to do it."

Every time I'm falling down
You take the repercussions
Headaches and anxieties
Advancing my frustrations

Rush into my depression
Sacrifice everything
Waste with me into nothing
Well now you're stuck with me

Hand up your soul to my wrist
And I'll vow my trust to you
Moving on and I always thought
I realized you've imagined
You take the repercussions
Headaches and anxieties
Advancing my frustrations

Rush into my depression
Sacrifice everything
Waste with me into nothing
Well now you're stuck with me

Hand up your soul to my wrist
And I'll vow my trust to you
Moving on and I always thought
I realized you've imagined

Do Da Da

This was originally called "Stuck with me," as those lyrics are repeated in the song. However, there was a mix-up while naming songs, and a song on the album Insomniac was given that name by accident. They decided that it suited that song better, so this one got the nonsense name "Do Da Da."

Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend Lyrics

Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

This song was written by Jule Styne and Leo Robin for the Broadway production of Gentleman Prefer Blondes and was first performed by Carol Channing in 1949. Ethel Merman, the actress and singer known for her vibrant voice and magnetic stage presence, recorded it the following year.

The most iconic performance of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" is undoubtedly Marilyn Monroe's in the 1953 film version of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. As playgirl Lorelei Lee, Marilyn created an indelible image while draped in pink satin and diamonds surrounded by a group of dapper suitors. Her own sultry voice was used for most of the song, but some rough patches were dubbed over with Marni Nixon's vocals - specifically the high-pitched opening and the line "These rocks don't lose their shape, diamonds are a girl's best friend." Although if 20th Century-Fox had their way, Marilyn's vocals would have been entirely dubbed. Nixon told The New York Times in 2007 that the studio was unimpressed with the star's "silly" voice, but Nixon thought it was perfect for the character and the song.

Nixon's soprano voice was a familiar one in Hollywood; she also dubbed vocals for Natalie Wood in West Side Story, Deborah Kerr in The King and I and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady.

Several artists have emulated Marilyn's performance over the years. Madonna copied the attire and set design for her "Material Girl" video in 1984 but later claimed she had little in common with the icon. She told Smash Hits in 1992: "I don't think I'm like Marilyn Monroe in a lot of ways. The main thing that we have in common is that we bleach our hair. She's a 'sex symbol' and a 'sex goddess' and I can relate to that in terms of how many people like to see me."

Anna Nicole Smith also channeled Marilyn for her "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" single in 1998 (and in 2004 dressed as Marilyn/Lorelai for a PETA ad campaign, stating "Gentlemen prefer fur-free blondes").

Australian Pop singer Kylie Minogue covered the song in 1995 and then re-recorded in in 2004 for the film White Diamond.

Gossip Girl socialite Serena van der Woodsen (Blake Lively) dreamed she was performing the song ala Marilyn Monroe in the show's 100th episode "G.G." while Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) appeared as a Breakfast at Tiffany's-inspired Audrey Hepburn.

Nicole Kidman sang a modified version of this song for Moulin Rouge! in 2001. Called "Sparkling Diamonds," the song eliminated any overt 1950s references - such as the names of jewelers or the modern Automat - to reflect the film's turn-of-the-20th-century time period.

The song has also been borrowed by many Jazz singers. Lena Horne included it on her 1958 album Give the Lady What She Wants, while Julie London recorded it in 1961, followed by Eartha Kitt in 1962.

Prosthetic Head Lyrics

I see you, down in the front line.
Such a sight for sore eyes, you're a suicide makeover.
Plastic eyes, lookin' through a numb skull.
Self-effaced, what's his face.
You erased yourself so shut up.
You don't let up.

You have a growth that must be treated
Like a severed severe pain in the neck.
You can smell it but you can't see it.
No explanation identified 'cause you don't know.
You don't say.

And you got no reply.
Hey you, where did you come from?
Got a head full of lead, you're a inbred bastard son.
All dressed up, red blooded,
A mannequin Do or die, no reply, don't deny that you're synthetic.
You're pathetic.

Prosthetic Head

Billie Joe Armstrong wrote this about "fake" people, like those in Hollywood. The lyrics, "All dressed up, red-blooded mannequin" show his feelings about them putting up a front and being "plastic."

After the bridge, right before Billie Joe starts singing, "I see you..." you can hear someone cough. It's probably Billie because he sounds out of breath when he starts singing again.
