Little Black Dress Lyrics


Okay,
I can see it now it’s all the same thing
Just different wrapping around it
No need,
To soften your words
They’re still gonna hurt
So don’t pull punches
I tried, to be everything you’d ever want and sometimes
I even stood on my heart and stomped now I’m
Finally alone and dressed for the show
But going nowhere

They don’t need to see me crying

I’ll get my Little Black Dress on
And if I put on my favorite song
I’m gonna dance until you’re all gone
I’ll get my little black dress on

You came
Lifted me up but then you dropped a hurricane
Now I’m fighting to find the ground again,
To steady my feet
Get up off my knees and just remember that I am
More than just somebody’s puppet I can
Find the cord and then I’ll cut it I stand
A pretty good chance to dust myself off and dance

I’ll get my little black dress on
And if I put on my favorite song
I’m gonna dance until you’re all gone
I’ll get my little black dress on
I got my little black dress on
And if I tell myself that nothing’s wrong
This doesn’t have to be a sad song
Not with my little black dress on

It’s time to connect the dots
And draw a different picture up
And paint you with the colors of
Everything I ever was
Return to the scene of the crime,
The day I let the music die
And rewrite the final lines 'cause this time I

I’ll get my little black dress on
And if I put on my favorite song
I’m gonna dance until you’re all gone
I’ll get my little black dress on
I got my little black dress on
And if I tell myself that nothing’s wrong
This doesn’t have to be a sad song
Not with my little black dress on

Little Black Dress
  • Bareilles told VH1 that this song reveals the difficulty she faces showcasing her authentic self in the world of entertainment. "I feel people's pain maybe more than I need to sometimes, because it can be very crippling," she said. "This song started as a love letter to the lost."

    Sounds Like War
  • Lead singer Sonny Sandoval : "Originally, the lyrics were, 'Sounds like Jah to me,' but then we realized we were talking about war. Not necessarily the war that surrounds us in these times. We're talking more about that unseen wickedness or craziness in all of us, that war within that you fight through in your own personal life everyday. And, how just knowing your strengths, you can make it through."
  • The working title for this song was "Ya Mama."

    Eden Lyrics


    Let me paint a picture for you then I’ll have to teach you to see it
    Illustrate the remnants of the life I used to live here in Eden
    Rolled a lucky pair of dice,
    Ended up paradise†¨
    Landed on a snake’s eyes, took a bite and ended up bleeding

    You know if I could change anything, I think I would start with the name
    The truth is all those angels started acting the same†¨
    And I know there’s no going back now 'cause
    Life in Eden
    Life in Eden changed†¨
    No way to make the pain play fair†¨
    It doesn’t disappear just because you say it isn’t there
    So when they ask why’d she go you can say 'cause
    Life in Eden†¨
    Life in Eden changed†¨
    Life in Eden changed

    Walking in the garden was a serpent-shaped heart and he told me†¨
    What is broken cannot show, and less than beautiful is worse than unholy
    Idolized my innocence,
    Stole it from me in the end†¨
    Now I’m wide awakened and still paying for the poison they sold me

    You know if I could change anything, I think I would start with the name
    The truth is all those angels started acting the same†¨
    And I know there’s no going back now 'cause†¨
    Life in Eden
    Life in Eden changed†¨
    No way to make the pain play fair†¨
    It doesn’t disappear just because you say it isn’t there, so
    When they ask why’d she go you can say 'cause
    Life in Eden†¨
    Life in Eden changed†¨
    Life in Eden changed

    There was a time when I was taking all bets†¨ that
    This place was even better than as good as it gets and now
    Looking back from the outside in†¨
    I think I was choking on the air in Eden
    Choking on the air in Eden

    Life in Eden changed†¨

    You know if I could change anything, I think I would start with the name
    The truth is all those angels started acting the same†¨
    And I know there’s no going back now 'cause†¨
    Life in Eden
    Life in Eden changed†¨
    No way to make the pain play fair
    It doesn’t disappear just because you say it isn’t there, so
    When they ask why’d she go you can say 'cause
    Life in Eden
    Life in Eden changed†¨
    When they ask why’d she go
    'Cause life in Eden
    Life in Eden changed

    Life in Eden changed
    Life in Eden changed

  • Bareilles uses Adam and Eve as an allegory as she sings of her life changing move from her home state of California to New York. "I found myself a little stuck in the disillusionment in Los Angeles," she explained to VH1, "and this is about letting go of that and moving into a different space."

    Roots In Stereo Lyrics


    I got that Boom Bi BI, so nobody disrespect, Jah love
    Give me strength and power flow through my dreads (nuff said)
    You all walk with kings, talk with kinks
    When it all goes down, have no idea what it really means.
    To live by words, if scripture is roots,
    And the wise hold they tongue when the youth speak the truth.
    You learn real quick, where I'm from that you don't belong
    Only the strong survive, So tell me Babylon
    (See Babylon Burnin to the ground yeah)
    We think you nuckles won't win this elector
    Try to sneak up in my hood, we not gon'let ya
    (You see the wicked Babylon burnin to the ground, y'all)
    In the streets they hear your name, they don't respect ya
    You can run and hide, in the end we gon' getcha

    Boom Biddy Bi Bi
    Original Roots In Stereo
    So rep the streets you ride on.
    Chant them down with that rude boy sound,
    And watch the whole world lie down.
    We generals in the streets they know
    Who wears the crown for shine now
    We got that champion sound washing through your town
    We go make the world go lie down.

    Me say, Hey natty dreadlocks where you come from?
    Where the mountains watch the city and waters touch the sun
    Where some carry crosses like others carry guns
    And pray Jah be glorified till the day soon come.
    Follow me
    Lick a shot if you a mighty warrior
    Lick a shot if you a freedom fighter
    Lick a shot if you a true souljah
    Now dance your way back to Zion
    (Dance your way back to Zion)

    I put it down for you love, till my journey is done
    And let your story be told how the battle is won
    So I grabbed the microphone and I started to run
    Here I come, Boom Biddy Bi
    Here I come

    Boom Biddy Bi Bi
    Original Roots In Stereo
    So rep the streets you ride on.
    Chant them down with that rude boy sound,
    And watch the whole world lie down.
    We generals in the streets they know
    Who wears the crown for shine now
    We got that champion sound washing through your town
    We go make the world go lie down.

    Empty nation just a phase, redemptions on it's way.
    The people love to talk but they don't got that much to say.
    Generation of orphans whose hearts are all ablaze,
    Little light in a lot of darkness goes a long way.
    Freedom, hearts bleed, an see them beating on a poison.
    Poor choices, spirits screamin, trying to break these boundaries.
    Running up a mountain, chains tied to my feet.
    Running up a mountain, chains tied to my feet.

    Original Roots In Stereo
    So rep the streets you ride on.
    Chant them down with that rude boy sound,
    And watch the whole world lie down.
    We generals in the streets they know
    Who wears the crown for shine now
    We got that champion sound washing through your town
    We go make the world go lie down.
    We go make the world go lie down.
    Make the world go lie down.
    We go make the world go lie down.
    Make the world go lie down.
    Gods name is rushing through my veins
    Lay down trippin through the pain
    Get up, you forgot your own tray, raisin' it up, raisin' it up, raisin' it up
    The blood of God reigns, we gotta maintain and that's the way
    And this may change, for the reason and the season
    Then I'll stay up my halo, and raise up your lovin, you know.
    We go make the world go lie down.
    Make the world go lie down.
    We go make the world go lie down.

  • This song is a collaboration with the reggae artist Matisyahu, who performs on the track. P.O.D. lead singer Sonny Sandoval said: "The chorus is really about representing the things that you're about. When Matis (Matisyahu) came in, he really put his faith into the song, which totally blended with us. Musically, that's one of those songs that has the signature P.O.D. sound, reflecting all the diverse things we're into."

    Like A Champion
  • This Dreamlab and Peter Thomas produced song features Spanish and Reggae influences. Selena Gomez said during a hour-long livestream that as she gets to travel a lot, she wanted to share an island vibe with her fans: "I wanted a Spanish vibe, but a little bit of a Reggae style. It'll make you feel like you want to go to Jamaica or South America."
  • Gomez adopts a Rihanna-esque island patois in the song, as well as borrowing the Barbadian star's lyric "shine like diamonds in the sky."
  • The chorus and the beginning of song are taken from Jamaican Dancehall artist Buju Banton's "Champion," which is a track on his 1995 album Til Shiloh.

    If Only You Could See Me Now
  • Lead singer Sonny Sandoval : "I think this is one of those songs where it was just a feeling and you can find whatever meaning you want in it. Truby had originally written the music for his adopted son, Elijah. To him, the lyrics reflect what Elijah would tell his biological mother. For me, it's about my mother or my grandfather. It's an extremely emotional song."
  • This song was the last song written and recorded for the album.

    Kiss the moon goodbye
    But don't close your eyes, your eyes
    It's the end of the night
    But the beginning of time, for you and I
    I can't believe that my body is still moving
    It makes me feel like we're doing something right.

    Baby when the night starts slipping
    When the night starts slipping
    When the night starts slipping away
    Boy you got my heartbeat skipping
    When you touch me even though
    The time is ticking away
    Just tell me it's not over
    And we'll never reach the end
    But when the night starts slipping away,
    Save The Day

    Yeah we're still wide awake
    Got me losing my mind, my mind
    No, it's never too late,
    Put your lips on mine
    In the burning sunlight, I
    I can't believe that my body is still moving
    It makes me feel like we're doing something right.

    Baby when the night starts slipping
    When the night starts slipping
    When the night starts slipping away
    Boy you got my heartbeat skipping
    When you touch me even though
    The time is ticking away
    Just tell me it's not over
    And we'll never reach the end
    But when the night starts slipping away,
    Save the day

    De de de de de de day
    De de de de de de day
    De de de de de de day
    Save the day

  • Stars Dance takes the listener on a ride through the good and bad moments of a relationship. This Livvi Franc and The Suxpex penned Latin Dance-Pop song finds Selena savoring the happy times. She said during a hour-long livestream: "It has a Spanish guitar feel. I'm Latin, so I kind of love that vibe, Do you ever have moments where you don't ever want them to end? I've had those moments. It's about saving those moments and never wanting it to go away."
  • Another Latin Dance-Pop star wanted to record the song, but Selena was able to nab it first. Jason Evigan of The Suspex told MTV News. "Jennifer Lopez wanted [it] really badly. It's, like, real. It's, like, really cool [and] up-tempo. It's about like kind of '[Let's] dance all night. Let's save the day. Let's go into the next day. Let's keep it going all night' type of thing."

    Connect Lyrics


    There’s a thousand miles between us
    As I feel your breath on my skin
    There are so many things I want to say
    But I don’t know how to begin

    I want to Connect with you
    Over the oceans and back to the truth
    I want to connect with you

    I’m standing right beside you
    Screaming in my head
    I don’t know how to reach you
    I shut down instead
    When all I want to do is connect with you

    The silence is defining
    Your heartbeat’s been heard from next door
    I knock but no answer
    You know I’ve never done this before

    I want to connect with you
    Over the oceans and back to the truth
    I want to connect with you

    I’m standing right beside you
    Screaming in my head
    I don’t know how to reach you
    I shut down instead
    When all I want to do is connect with you

    Distance can be measured by
    The pain you feel inside your heart
    We could be together
    Or be five million miles apart
    But that wouldn’t stop me

    I want to connect with you
    Over the oceans and back to the truth
    I want to connect with you

    I’m standing right beside you
    Screaming in my head
    I don’t know how to reach you
    I shut down instead
    When all I want to do is connect with you

  • This is the title track of Australian Alternative-Rock trio Sick Puppies' fourth album. Lead vocalist/guitarist Shimon Moore observed: "There are only a few things every single person in the world has in common. One is that we all need each other. To have a song that captures that is pretty special."
  • While most of the songs on Connect were written in 2012, this track contains the oldest riff in Shimon Moore's musical cache. However, it wasn't until the recording of the album that he found a suitable chorus to go with it. "It's fun; I wrote it while in high school learning how to play guitar, and I always had it in my back pocket," Moore recalled. "I've brought it up on every record, but wasn't right."

    Once, there was this kid who
    Took a trip to Singapore and brought along his spray paint
    And when he finally came back
    He had cane marks all over his bottom
    He said that it was from when
    The warden whacked it so hard

    Mm mm mm mm, mm mm mm mm, ah

    Once there was this girl who
    Swore that one day she would be a figure skating champion
    And when she finally made it
    She saw some other girl who was better
    And so she hired some guy to
    Club her in the kneecap

    Mm mm mm, mm mm mm mm
    Ah, mm mm mm mm, mm mm mm mm

    They got paid for their sound bites
    And sold their TV movie rights

    And then, there was this guy who
    Made his wife so mad one night that she cut off his wiener
    And when he finally came to
    He found that Mr. Happy was missing
    He couldn't quite explain it
    It'd always just been there

    Mm mm mm mm, mm mm mm mm
    Mm mm mm mm, mm mm mm mm

  • This song is a parody of "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" by The Crash Test Dummies, off of their 1993 album God Shuffled His Feet.
  • Just like the original song, this tells the stories of 3 people, but unlike the original, which tells the stories of 3 children and their misfortunes, Yankovic's parody depicts 3 people who were involved in big news stories of the early 1990s. The 3 people depicted in this song are Michael Fay, who was caned in Singapore for vandalizing cars, Tonya Harding, who hired a man to injure fellow Olympic figure-skater Nancy Kerrigan, thus eliminating some of her competition, and John Wayne Bobbit, whose wife cut off his penis.

    White Suburban Lyrics


    I knew you before
    Took a lifetime to forget
    But as my eyes meet yours
    I take all I can get
    Lay light up the shadows of my heart
    Return stolen works of art
    Yeah, you can’t discern this moment's grace

    But I still remember you
    In that big, old, White Suburban
    And although you look right past me
    With disregard
    The first won't happen twice

    But gazing still at the ground
    More alone than I was then
    I have searched your eyes
    But they don’t comprehend
    I crawl back into the shadows of my heart
    And just sit there in the dark
    Where you don’t require the love you’ll still take

    But I still remember you
    In that big, old, white Suburban
    And although you look right past me
    With disregard
    The first won't happen twice

    And although I’ve since moved on
    And I’ve been in love a few times
    There’s still a piece of me
    That holds on to you
    ‘Cause the first won’t happen twice
    Won’t happen twice
    It won’t happen twice

    I remember you
    In that big, old, white Suburban
    And although you look right past me
    With disregard
    And although I’ve since moved on
    And I’ve been in love a few times
    There’s still a piece of me
    That can’t let go of you
    ‘Cause the first won’t happen twice

    White Suburban
  • There was a period when Skylar Grey lost her love for making music. As it wasn't fun anymore she took a step back and moved from Los Angeles to Utah in order to revert back to nature. This was the first song Grey wrote after she'd arrived in Utah. She explained to Artist Direct : "I wrote it because I needed to get something creative out of my system with no pressures attached to it. I wasn't writing a hit pop song. I wasn't trying to be super indulgent in my chord choices."
  • Grey's lyrics for this song are about her past. She recalled to Artist Direct: "Growing up my best friend had an old white suburban. It was rusty, and we had a lot of stories associated with that car. While I didn't fall in love with anybody in that car, it was the idea of looking back that far into the past and remembering. I had that first love as a kid. Your first love never really leaves you. The song talks about that."

    Any Colour You Like Lyrics


    Any Colour You Like
  • The title is often attributed to something Henry Ford said about the Model T automobile: "You can have it any color you like... as long as it's black!" According to The Pink Floyd Encyclopedia , however, the song title is from a catch phrase used by former Pink Floyd road manager Chris Adamson. When asked for a guitar, Adamson would respond, "Any colour you like, they're all blue." He may have picked this up from local street traders in Cambridge.
  • This is an instrumental that is musically similar to "Breathe," and is unofficially called "Breathe (2nd reprise)."
  • The song used advanced effects for the time both in the keyboard and the guitar. The VCS 3 synthesizer was fed through a long tape loop to create the rising and falling keyboard solo. David Gilmour used 2 guitars with the UniVibe guitar effect to create the harmonizing guitar solo for the rest of the song.
  • Roger Waters, in an interview with the author Phil Rose, stated: "In Cambridge where I lived, people would come from London in a van - a truck - open the back and stand on the tailboard of the truck, and the truck's full of stuff that they're trying to sell. And they have a very quick and slick patter, and they're selling things like crockery, china, sets of knives and forks. All kinds of different things, and they sell it very cheap with a patter. They tell you what it is, and they say 'It's ten plates, lady, and it's this, that, and the other, and eight cups and saucers, and for the lot I'm asking NOT ten pounds, NOT five pounds, NOT three pounds... fifty bob to you!,' and they get rid of this stuff like this. If they had sets of china, and they were all the same colour, they would say, 'You can 'ave 'em, ten bob to you, love. Any colour you like, they're all blue.' And that was just part of that patter. So, metaphorically, 'Any Colour You Like' is interesting, in that sense, because it denotes offering a choice where there is none. And it's also interesting that in the phrase, 'Any colour you like, they're all blue,' I don't know why, but in my mind it's always 'they're all blue', which, if you think about it, relates very much to the light and dark, sun and moon, good and evil. You make your choice but it's always blue."
