Consumerism Lyrics

Consumerism

On May 6, 2013 Lauryn Hill was sentenced to three months in prison for failure to pay taxes. This song was written before Hill's incarceration, mixed during her confinement and made available as a single to mark her release. It finds the former Fugees singer rapping about society's crazy ways.

Hill explained the song is the first part of a larger project titled Letters From Exile, which she has been working on after signing a deal with Sony Music. "'Consumerism' is part of some material I was trying to finish before I had to come in," she said. "We did our best to eek out a mix via verbal and emailed direction, thanks to the crew of surrogate ears on the other side. Letters From Exile is material written from a certain space, in a certain place. I felt the need to discuss the underlying socio-political, cultural paradigm as I saw it. I haven't been able to watch the news too much recently, so I'm not hip on everything going on. But inspiration of this sort is a kind of news in and of itself, and often times contains an urgency that precedes what happens. I couldn't imagine it not being relevant. Messages like these I imagine find their audience, or their audience finds them, like water seeking its level."

Nirvana Lyrics

Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Oh, we both know the truth
If it were the real me and you
This wouldn't be the right thing to do

Now the room is all hazy
We're too lost in the fumes
I feel like it's just me & you
Yeah, we got nothing to lose

It's too late to run away from it all
It's too late to get away from it all
I'm done with running so I give it to you

This moment has caused a reaction
Resulting in a reattachment
Will you take me to Nirvana?
I don't think this will last
'Cause you're here in my arms

Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Oh, we both feel the same
I'm not gonna give you my name
And I don't think you want that to change

We're in this together
We don't know who we are
Even if it's moving too fast
Maybe we should take it too far

It's too late to run away from it all
It's too late to get away from it all
I'm done with running so I give it to you

This moment has caused a reaction
Resulting in a reattachment
Will you take me to Nirvana?
I don't think this will last
'Cause you're here in my arms

Will you take me to Nirvana?
I don't think this will last
'Cause you're here in my arms

This is the title track of Sam Smith's debut EP. He explained the song's meaning to Interview Magazine: "There were four of us in the room and we all wrote it about things individually. It's about doing something at night time, one night, and not worrying commitment or worrying about anything else in life. It's about something—a person, a thing—taking over you and taking you to somewhere just for a little bit."

Thinking Of You Lyrics

Lying all alone and restless
unable to lose this image
sleepless, unable to focus on
anything but your surrender

Tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like

Sweet revelation sweet surrender
sweet, sweet surrender
Surrender...

Tugging a rhythm to the vision that's in my head
Tugging a beat to the sight of you lying
So delighted with a new understanding
Something about a little evil that makes that
Unmistakable noise I was hearing
Unmistakable sound that I know so well
Spent and sighing with a look in your eye
Spent and sighing with a look on your face like

Sweet revelation sweet surrendering
Sweet revelation sweet

Thinking Of You, thinking
Thinking of you, Thinking of you, Thinking of you, thinking...

Sweet revelation sweet surrendering
Sweet revelation

Thinking Of You

This song is about the first time you learn to "Self Satisfy." At some concerts, toward the end of the song Maynard Keenan will "jerk" his water bottle around until the climax of the song when he sprays water everywhere.

Keenan had a similar song while in Tool: "Part Of Me," on Opiate.

Bitter Rivals Lyrics

Hi!

It was the best of times
It was the worst of times
I had to kill the new sheriff in town
She was gonna try to keep me
You go-go down
You go-go down
In a dream you will never be down
Some how
Some how
Another way to make the picture clearer
Point a gun
At the mirror
Heart's so dark, make dirt look clean
So clean
So clean
Don't kick
Don't scream
But at the end
I can only be
No rhyme
No reason
Be not afraid
Be not afraid
Be not

You are my bitter rival
But I need you for survival
You are my bitter rival
But I need you for survival
You are my bitter rival
But I need you for survival
You are my bitter rival
But I need you for survival

It was the best of times
It was the worst of times
I had to kill the new sheriff in town
She was gonna try to keep me
You go-go down
You go-go down
In a dream you will never be down
Some how
Some how
Lay a hand on me
Lay a hand on you
Lay a hand on me
Lay a hand
Heart's so dark, make dirt look clean
So clean
So clean
Convicts
Convicts
East to West
The answer is yes
No rhyme
No reason
Be not afraid
Be not afraid
Be not

You are my bitter rival
But I need you for survival
You are my bitter rival
But I need you for survival
You are my bitter rival
But I need you for survival
You are my bitter rival
But I need you for survival

Bitter Rivals

Guitarist Derek Miller told NME about this song with the subject matter of moving on. "It's celebrating coming out of a situation that I didn't think I would be ever able to come out of," he explained. "I had been in the darkest, nastiest situation. I came to terms with my father's death finally, that didn't happen until February (2013). My mom has been in remission for two years now so she's in a great place. I'm in the best place of my life. I'm not going to boo-hoo about it now, but that shattered me for years. When you're in it, you just can't see out of it. But when I cam out of it, I was like 'Oh my god.'"

Vocalist Alexis Krauss told NME about the recording of this dog-barking, finger-snapping two chord noise-pop banger: "I had my dog in the studio, and they were setting up to do guitars, and I was like "OK this will be a good time. I'll take my dog out to go pee and I'll be back up by the time they start tracking' and this was literally five minutes, and in one take, it was just like the scrappiest, gnarliest sound. You know? There was no tweaking, there was no fu--ing around with it. We knew it was good and we just left it."

The song's music video ends with the message "Be good to each other." Krauss explained to Stereogum : "We thought it would be great to end something that had an aggressive or violent imagery with something kind of humorous and sweet. You know, I was a teacher before I was in Sleigh Bells so being positive and having that kind of energy has always been a part of Sleigh Bells. We're also constantly using the phrase, 'Work hard. Be nice.' It was the phrase I constantly used as my mantra for my kids when I was teaching."

Q magazine asked Derek Miller the meaning of the lyrics "You are my bitter rival, but I need you for survival." He replied: "I'd rather leave that lyric open. It could be anything, it could be a war with yourself, an enemy, a girlfriend or boyfriend – it's about being forced to step your game up. That's definitely a big theme. I've got a lot of demons, and making records is one way to deal with them."

Cry In The Sun Lyrics

You clean out your room, and under your bed
Lay a picture long forgotten

With a hand to your head, you sigh out loud
As the memory rushes over - and buries you
Summer rain-storm, but the shed was dry
With a girl from Carolina

And you held her so tight
For the warmth that the rain denied
As the time has slowed to a flash
So alive, listen to them when they say
Cry In The Sun

When the devil beats his wife
If you cry, cry, cry in the sun
Hope I never see the price of my freedom...yeah

We danced and sang out
And traced the moon
As it crawled across the night sky
And covered in dew, a lovers' pact
'Well here's to now and don't look back'

And oh, how I've tried
To heed the words written here
Cry in the sun
Where the devil beats his wife
If you cry, cry, cry in the sun
Hope I never see the price of my freedom..ooh yeah

For everyone, yeah
If there's a person, place, or time
That brings you back and makes you feel alive
Before your reason clouds your eyes
Well you could rule the world if you wanted to...yeah

Well I hear you're livin' far away
And that life's treated you well
You know that we were young and this picture's old

But I still can hear you say
Through the pounding of the rain
And oh, if you try
Tell me, can you hear them say
Cry in the sun

When the devil beats his wife
If you cry, cry, cry in the sun
Hope I never see the price of my freedom
Hope I never see the price of my freedom
Oh yeah

Master of Savagery

Soulfly lead singer Max Cavalera has written thousands of guitar riffs, but he says this is one of his favorites. "I really like the groove of the song," he told us . "It's very similar to older Soulfly stuff, like Prophecy, Dark Ages, Soulfly I. It's a really catchy, heavy groove."

This is a track from Savages, the ninth studio album by the Brazilian Metal group. The record was the first to feature drummer Zyon Cavalera, frontman Max's son, in a full-time capacity after the departure of David Kinkade in 2012. Said Max: "I worked for the first time on a full album with my son, Zyon. Before recording the album I first worked closely at home with him in preproduction, and it was great to spend weeks on the songs with Zyon, shaping the sound of the record. Zyon did a great job and he hits really hard just like his uncle Igor."

"It was amazing recording with my son," he added. A whole record! A dream come true for a father whose life is dedicated to metal. 'Savages' is a celebration of all that."

About three minutes into this song, it breaks down to just the bass, then gets - as Max Cavalera says - "super heavy." Max had to refuse/resist the temptation to add vocals. "I was tempted to sing on top of it," he said in our interview. "I even tried once. Then I was like, 'No, let's leave it open, just let the music take control and be just this cool, heavy part on the song.'"

The cover artwork for Savages was created by renowned artist Paul Stottler, who is best known for his work on Sacred Reich's legendary Surf Nicaragua cover.

Max Cavalera explained to Metal Exiles the journey he wanted to take his listeners on the album. "The idea of Savages was that with all of our progress and technology we are all still killing each other, decapitating, blowing up marathons, doing all of these savage acts so at heart we are all still Savages," he said. "A lot of the lyrics are based around that theme even though this is not a concept record. It is almost like there is something wrong with us, like we are born with Savagery in us and we cannot get rid of it."

Feel Good Hit Of The Summer Lyrics

Nicotine, valium, vicadin, marijuana, ecstasy, and alcohol
Cocaine

Writer/s: HOMME, JOSH/OLIVERI, NICK

Feel Good Hit Of The Summer

The lyrics are a list of drugs: Nicotine, valium, vicodinmarijuana, ecstasy, and alcohol. Before they get to cocaine, they do utter the word "no."

Judas Priest lead singer Rob Halford was recording in a studio nearby, and the band asked him to sing backup on this, which he did. When they showed Halford the lyrics, he said, "A Rock And Roll cocktail, I know this one."

Although this contains no foul language, some radio stations refused to play it and Wal-Mart banned it for a while. They eventually agreed to stock the album without a warning label, since it was already called "Rated R."

In 2007, QOTSA was forcefully removed from a rehab center in California for playing this song. They were going to play a light-hearted show for the patients there, but Josh Homme and his twisted sense of humor decided to open their set with this song, and they were immediately unplugged.

Josh Homme told NME July 24, "All of our records have some loose theme that's put a rope around all the songs and drawn them in tight… Rated R is about paranoia and about paranoia that someone's putting you in a box forever and trying to escape getting out of their box.
'You're free to do what you want as long as you do it in here' - and that is the frustration that your voice means nothing."

Josh Homme recalled to Mojo magazine September 2010: "Nick (Oliveri) and I had gone out to Joshua Tree just before New Years, 2000, and stayed at a place called 29 Palms Inn. Out of that came Feel Good Hit Of The Summer and Quick And To The Pointless. Feel Good Hit was such a great way to start that record. It said, 'Look out, here we come.'"

Homme discussed the experimental elements of Rated R with Mojo:"I used to make mix tapes for my girlfriends and friends - Can next to Bjork and Slayer and Hasil Adkins - and I wanted my own record to be like the mix tapes I was making. On Rated R I wanted to play a love song and a paranoid song and an art song and a heavy song - all on one record. There's this unseeable force wants you to conform, and I was fighting that. We'd try anything we thought was 'wrong'. We'd experiment on anything. On ourselves too. We got ourselves in an otherworldly state."

Both Kerrang and NME made Rated R #1 in their Top Albums of 2000 list. The record also came #2 in Mojo's list.

Torus Lyrics

Torus

This is the title track of Sub Focus (aka Nick Douwma)'s second album. It's the only song on the set that he penned on his own. He explained to MusicRadar.com : "This began as an intro for the new live show I launched in 2012. I wanted a brand new track to start the show off, and thankfully it worked well and I've used it as an intro ever since."

"The beginning of the song samples the Halt tape," Douma continued, "which is a famous audio recording of a UFO sighting. It's an incredible recording, and the guy has got a real sense of wonder in his voice. I remember years ago, I think it was Photek who used it in a tune - I was inspired to use it as if someone had spotted the Torus disc. It just fit the track name and the concept so well."

The word Torus is used in geometry to describe a ring shaped surface formed by the revolution of a circle around an axis that does not intersect the circle.

Vermilion Lyrics

She seems dressed in all the rings
Of past fatalaties
So fragile yet so devious
She continues to see it
Climatic hands that press
Her temples and my chest
Enter the night that she came home
Forever

Oh (she's the only one that makes me sad)

She is everything and more
The solemn hypnotic
My dahlia, bathed in possession
She is home to me

I get neverous, perversed when I see her it's worse
But the stress is astounding
It's now or never she's coming home
Forever

Oh (she's the only one that makes me sad)

Hard to say what caught my attention
Vixen crazy, aphid attraction
Carve my name in my face, to recognize
Such a pheromone cult to terrorize

I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me

(Yeah!)

I'm a slave, and I am a master
No restraints and, unchecked collectors
I exist through my need, to self-oblige
She is something in me, that I despise

I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me

I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me
I won't let this build up inside of me

She isn't real
I can't make her real
She isn't real
I can't make her real

She isn't real, I can't make her real
She isn't real, I can't make her real

This was released as the first single from British electronic musician Sub Focus' second studio album Torus. It was made available on December 14, 2011, as a free digital download through RAM Records and Mercury Records. The track was re-released half a year later as an EP alongside remixes from Nick Thayer, xKore and Sub Focus himself.

The song features soulful vocals from Boston-born and London-raised singer-songwriter Kenzie May.

Sub Focus told the story of the song to MusicRadar.com : "This tune began with the synth chords in the breakdown. This was originally something that I wrote for the track that I did with Chase & Status on their last album called 'Flashing Lights.' I really loved the part, but we decided that it didn't fit, so it was left over. This tune stemmed from there."

Moonlight Feels Right Lyrics

The wind blew some luck in my direction
I caught it in my hands today
I finally made a tricky French connection
You winked and gave me your o.k.
I'll take you on a trip beside the ocean
And drop the top at Chesapeake Bay
Ain't nothing like the sky to dose a potion
The moon'll send you on your way

Moonlight Feels Right
Moonlight feels right

We'll lay back and observe the constellations
And watch the moon smilin' bright
I'll play the radio on southern stations
Cause southern belles are hell at night
You say you came to Baltimore from Ole Miss
Class of seven four gold ring
The eastern moon looks ready for a wet kiss
To make the tide rise again

We'll see the sun come up on Sunday morning
And watch it fade the moon away
I guess you know I'm giving you a warning
Cause me and moon are itching to play
I'll take you on a trip beside the ocean
And drop the top at Chesapeake Bay
Ain't nothin' like the sky to dose a potion
The moon'll send you on your way

Map dots, parking lots

They come alive on Friday nights
Don't shut down 'til that rooster crows

It's just some rural route rockin'
I don't ever see it stopping
Got them good old boys hoppin' oh yeah
And they're spending every dollar
Make 'em hoop, and make 'em holler, woo hoo
It's how we do it up in here
Chicks, Trucks, and Beer

Tan lines, straight pipes
Longneck bottles iced down
That's all you need
That's the recipe to do it up big in a little town

It's just some rural route rockin'
I don't ever see it stopping
Got them good old boys hoppin' oh yeah
And they're spending every dollar
Make 'em hoop, and make 'em holler, woo hoo
It's how we do it up in here
Chicks, trucks, and beer

Colt ford, tell 'em how we roll
Short skirts, chrome, and dirt
Long legs, pony kegs
Loving on a tailgate
Friday night, I can't wait

It's just some rural route rockin'
I don't ever see it stopping
Got them good old boys hoppin' oh yeah
And they're spending every dollar
Make 'em hoop, and make 'em holler, woo hoo
It's how we do it up in here
Chicks, trucks, and beer
Chicks, trucks, and beer

If you get the chicks, then you got the trucks
And you got beer, then you got others
You can't have fear son, if you want speed
Now where we come from this is all we need
Them chicks, trucks, and beer
It's how we do around here every night
Chicks , trucks and beer
We keep it country, but we keep it real tight
Chicks, trucks, and beer
That's all we know
Chicks, trucks, and beer
Come on, Farr, let's take it down the dirt road
Ice cold beer, come on
They done let country come to town, y'all
Or maybe town came to country

The Importance Of Being Idle Lyrics

I sold my soul for the second time, 'cause the man don't pay me.
I begged my landlord for some more time, he said "Son, the bill's waiting."
My best friend called me the other night, he said, "Man, are you crazy?"
My girlfriend told me to get a life, she said, "Boy, you lazy."

But I don't mind, as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine.
I'll be fine - if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit.
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.

[Solo]

I don't mind, as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine.
I'll be fine - if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit.
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.

I lost my faith in the summertime, 'cause it don't stop raining.
The sky all day is black as night, but I know I can't blame me.
I begged my Doctor for one more line, he said "Son, words fail me!"
There ain't no place to be killing time, I guess I'm just lazy.

I don't mind, as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine.
I'll be fine - if you give me a minute, a man's got a limit.
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it.

The Importance Of Being Idle

Noel Gallagher (Q magazine, May 2005): "A cross between The Kinks and The La's. About being a lazy so and so. I spent a lot of last summer just sitting around the house doing nothing, really impressed by my lack of drive."

The band doesn't appear in the video. It features the Welsh actor Rhys Ifans and a group of dancing undertakers lip-synching to the track. Rhys Ifans was for a short while the lead singer of Welsh band Super Furry Animals before they achieved chart success. He has been in the movies Notting Hill (1999), Little Nicky (2000) and Vanity Fare (2004).

The was Oasis' second consecutive #1 single in the UK, after "Lyla." It was the second time they had back to back #1 hits, but the first time in the same calendar year. "All Around The World" and "Go Let It Out" followed each other in the late '90s but had a gap of 2 years between them.

This is only the second time that an Oasis single with Noel rather than Liam on lead vocals has topped the UK charts, his first being "Don't Look Back In Anger" back in 1996.

This was Oasis' 19th straight Top 10 UK hit, beating a long standing record for a group that was previously held jointly by The Beatles and ABBA. The all-time record is held by Madonna, with a total of 34 in a row between 1984 and 1995.

The video was shot on Caradoc Street, East Greenwich, London. The band appears for about 5 seconds: Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Zak Starkey are playing cards on a coffin while Liam is sitting by a desk and Noel is shaving.

Some of the second verse, with the reference to begging his doctor for "One more line," seems to be referring to an actual event as this resembles Noel's account of how he gave up cocaine in 1998.

Damaged Lyrics

I don't think I should be here, but maybe we can make it through the night
I don't know what I'm feeling, maybe that it's better somewhere else
Somewhere where my mind turns off and my heart becomes the guide
And maybe my guard is down but I don't seem to mind, oh

But I'm Damaged from the man that I was yesterday
Yeah, it's the damage from the life that in turn used to shadow me
And now it's over and done

You make me think I'm feeling, but you know I'm just a vulture on your heart
And I don't want to be this, I'm sorry I misled you from the start
To somewhere I've never been and I could never be
So maybe my time is up and I should let it be, oh

But I'm damaged from the man that I was yesterday
I guess I'm damaged from the breath that I won't led me astray
And now it's over and done

Yeah, I'm damaged from the man that I was yesterday
I guess I'm damaged from the breath that I won't led me astray
I guess I'm damaged from the chances I made yesterday
And you know I'm standing still, there's nothing more I can say
And now it's over and done

Damaged

The Winery Dogs are a Rock trio formed in New York City in 2012 by former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portney , Mr. Big bassist Billy Sheehan and ex-Poison guitarist/singer Richie Kotzen. This is a track from their eponymous debut album. Portnoy said regarding the songwriting process for The Winery Dogs set: "In all cases, the music was the very first element and from there, Richie would start melodies on top of it. Sometimes the final lyrics were there, coming up on the spot, and other times he would take the melodies and write lyrics later. There were a couple of examples of Richie having something and bringing it in. In those cases, like 'Damaged' and 'Regret', we just left them. Because in those two particular cases, the songs were great as they were."

Ruin Lyrics

The knowledge that seeking the favor of another
Means the murder of self.
This is the resolution
The end of all progress
The death of evolution
It bleeds all life away.

Silence speeds the path to the streams of solace that run so few and narrow.
Brooks that babble the sounds of torture.
Sounds of torture
You will one day rise
To flood the banks of the chosen.
This is the art of Ruin.

This is the resolution
The end of all progress
The death of evolution
It bleeds all life away.

It bleeds all life away.

I will show you all that I have mastered
Fear.
Pain.
Hatred.
Power.
This is the art of ruin
This is the art of ruin
This is the art of ruin

Ruin

"Ruin" is the opening track to Lamb of God's As The Palaces Burn album, which the band produced with Devin Townsend .

The song is very dark, calling forth what leads to "the art of ruin." The band's lyricists, Mark Morton and Randy Blythe , often express the shadowy side of their personalities in their songs, which suits their genre. They point out, however, that they are not a miserable bunch; it's just that happy songs aren't very metal.

Dan Rush directed the music video, which shows the band performing the song in what appears to be a Mexican church.

Scared Lyrics

Baby I can't live without you
I'm slowly dying

You live just me
These rolls watching me bleed
I'm screaming, I'm hurting,
I'm begging you for mercy

Forgive me for the things I did, the things I said, if you understand
Forgive me and I'll forgive you

For playing my heart like a cello
Strumming me no longer, beating like a drummer
Oh, I just wanna love that, I just wanna love that
I just wanna love that, I just wanna love that
I just wanna love that, I just wanna love that
Scared of what it feels like to be alone

Scared of what it feels like to miss you
Scared of what it feels like not to kiss you
Scared of what it feels like to be alone, yeah
You're scared
You're scared
You're scared

Know you, know me, it's just the shadows I see
No savior, hell Marie, who's gonna rescue me?

Forgive me for the things I did, the things I said, if you understand
Forgive me and I'll forgive you

For playing my heart like a shallow
Strumming me no longer, beating like a drummer
Oh, I just wanna love that, I just wanna love that
I just wanna love that, I just wanna love that
I just wanna love that, I just wanna love that
Scared of what it feels like to be alone

Scared of what it feels like to miss you
Scared of what it feels like not to kiss you
Scared of what it feels like to be alone, yeah
You're scared
You're scared
You're scared

Baby I can't live without you
I'm slowly dying
Baby without you I'm scared

Scared of what it feels like to miss you
Scared of what it feels like not to kiss you
Scared of what it feels like to be alone, yeah
You're scared
You're scared
You're scared

Scared

This up-tempo Pop track has Zendaya singing about trying to save a relationship because she is scared of being alone. The track was written by Tiffany Fred and Paul "Phamous" Shelton, and was described by Zendaya as having a Kanye West type of vibe and she hopes it will be just as infectious. "I have to be able to play my songs over and over and over again," she explained to MTV News. "I have to love them because if I don't love them, how can I expect anyone else to want to play it a 1,000 times and love it?"

Factory Girl Lyrics

Waiting for a girl who's got curlers in her hair
Waiting for a girl she has no money anywhere
We get buses everywhere
Waiting for a Factory Girl

Waiting for a girl and her knees are much too fat
Waiting for a girl who wears scarves instead of hats
Her zipper's broken down the back
Waiting for a factory girl

Waiting for a girl and she gets me into fights
Waiting for a girl we get drunk on Friday night
She's a sight for sore eyes
Waiting for a factory girl

Waiting for a girl and she's got stains all down her dress
Waiting for a girl and my feet are getting wet
She ain't come out yet
Waiting for a factory girl

Factory Girl

This song is a great example of Mick Jagger taking on a persona, which he often did in his lyrics. Here, he sings from the perspective of a guy who is waiting for his girlfriend - a destitute, disheveled sort - to get out of work at the factory. It's quite a contrast to Jagger's reality: a glamorous Rock star who often dated models.

Dave Mason, who did some session work for Jimi Hendrix and was a member of the band Traffic, played the mandolin on this song.

Ric Grech was brought in to play fiddle on this track. Grech was a violinist and bass player who was a member of the band Family in the '60s and went on to play in Blind Faith with Eric Clapton. He also played on Gram Parsons' solo albums in the '70s, and he appears on Ron Wood and Ronnie Lane's 1976 Mahoney's Last Stand project.

Drummer Charlie Watts: "On Factory Girl, I was doing something you shouldn't do, which is playing the tabla with sticks instead of trying to get that sound using your hand, which Indian tabla players do, though it's an extremely difficult technique and painful if you're not trained."

Guitarist Keith Richards: "To me 'Factory Girl' felt something like Molly Malone, an Irish jig; one of those ancient Celtic things that emerge from time to time, or an Appalachian song. In those days I would just come up and play something, sitting around the room. I still do that today."

Reflecting Light Lyrics

Now that I've worn out
I've worn out the world
I'm on my knees in fascination
Looking through the night
And the moon's never seen me before
But I'm Reflecting Light

I rode the pain down
Got off and looked up
Looked into your eyes
The lost open windows
All around
My dark heart lit up the skies

Now that I've worn out
I've worn out the world
I'm on my knees in fascination
Looking through the night
And the moon's never seen me before
But I'm reflecting light

Give up the ground
Under your feet
Hold on to nothing for good
Turn and run at the mean dogs
Chasing you
Stand-alone and misunderstood

Now that I've worn out
I've worn out the world
I'm on my knees in fascination
Looking through the night
And the moon's never seen me before
But I'm reflecting light

Reflecting Light

Sam Phillips is a huge fan of Jeff Bridges' performance in The Big Lebowski, so she jumped at the chance to write a song for his turn as an aging, alcoholic singer in Crazy Heart, a film co-produced by her longtime collaborator and former husband T Bone Burnett. She sought inspiration from '60s-era ballads to fit the pace of the slow-burning drama. "I was very proud to have a song in it," she told Magnet Magazine. "I wouldn't have called that one, I've gotta tell you. But T Bone fought hard for that. He felt that [Maggie Gyllenhaal's character's] moment needed to be more tender and not like the rest of the score. It was her moment, not his moment. For that, it worked well."

T Bone also co-composed music for the film and won a Grammy, a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for Best Original Song for "The Weary Kind" (along with Ryan Bingham).

The Rose Lyrics

Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor, that leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger, an endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower, and you, its only seed

Its the heart afraid of breaking, that never learns to dance
Its the dream afraid of waking, that never takes a chance
Its the one that won't be taking, that cannot seem to give
It's the one afraid of dying, that never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love in the spring becomes The Rose.

The Rose

This was written by Los Angeles singer/songwriter Amanda McBroom. Midler recorded it for the 1980 movie of the same name, which she starred in. McBroom explained: "A song came on the radio. It was 'Magdalena' by Danny OKeefe, sung by Leo Sayer. I liked it immediately. My favorite line was, 'You're love is like a razor. My heart is just a scar.' I thought, 'Ooh, I love that lyric, but don't agree with the sentiment that love is a razor.'"

"As I continued to drive down the road the thought came, 'What, then, do I think love is.' Suddenly, it was as if someone had opened a window in the top of my head. Words came pouring in. I had to keep reciting them to myself as I drove faster and faster towards home, so I wouldn't forget them. I screeched into my driveway, ran into the house, past various bewildered dogs and cats and husbands, and sat down at the piano. Ten minutes later, The Rose was there."

"A year or so later, a professional songwriter friend of mine said, 'Listen, there is this movie coming out called The Rose, based on the life of Janis Joplin. They are looking for a title tune. Do you want me to submit this to them? I had never really tried to submit a song to anyone. I didn't consider myself a songwriter at the time. So I said, 'Sure.'"

"The producers hated it. They thought it was dull and not Rock And Roll and totally wrong. They put it in the reject box. But Paul Rothchild, who had been Janis Joplin's producer, and now the music supervisor on the film, hauled it out and asked them to reconsider. They again said no. So he mailed it to Bette Midler, the star of the movie. She liked it, lobbied in favor of it; and that's how it got into the film and changed my life forever."

This won a Grammy award for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female. It was Midler's second Grammy - seven years earlier she won for Best New Artist.

Roses show up a lot in titles of hit songs, often with very different meanings. Other Top 10 hits include "Bed Of Roses" by Bon Jovi, "Roses Are Red (My Love)" by Bobby Vinton," "Eighteen Yellow Roses" by Bobby Darin, "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" by Poison and "Kiss From A Rose" by Seal. Here's a photo that demonstrates the lyrical appeal of the rose .

To tie in with this song, Bette Midler appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone (issue dated December 13, 1979) lying on a literal bed of roses. The photo was taken by Annie Leibovitz; an assistant had to cut off all the thorns.

The song appeared on the television show Family Guy in the episode "Baby Not on Board." The song is sung by the Griffin Family, as Peter, the father, tries to suggest a good driving song.

This song appeared in a very humorous scene in the movie Napoleon Dynamite, a 2004 cult classic, as the lead character performs the song in sign-language.
