The Civil Wars - Poison and Wine

The Civil Wars is an indie folk duo composed of CCM vocalist Joy Williams and guitarist/songwriter John Paul White.
This song is the title track of their first EP. It was released as the pair's first single on November 4, 2009.
It is the only song on the longplayer that Williams and White wrote with an outside collaborator - their friend Nashville songwriter Chris Lindsey.
The song is a thematic declaration of intent for The Civil Wars, encapsulating everything suggested in the duo's name when it comes to exploring the conflicts that arise as part of being a married couple. "That song probably does sum us up—The Civil Wars, the name of the band—as well as any song that we've written," said White.
"We're all married, and we were all talking about the good, the bad and the ugly, and just felt like: What would you say to someone if you were actually brutally honest—the things that you could never say because it would turn them away or let the cat out of the bag or reveal yourself to be weaker? What would you actually say if you had this invisible curtain around you and could just scream it in somebody's face and they'd actually never hear it? We were all being very painfully honest, because we're all very comfortable around each other and know that things like that never leave the room, except in a song. I'm pretty proud of that song, to be honest."
This came to many people's attention when it was heard prominently on the "New History" episode of Grey's Anatomy over a key climactic montage.
Other TV shows that its featured in include 90210 and The Vampire Diaries as well as the soundtrack to the movie Something Borrowed.
The song gained a wholly unsolicited endorsement when fellow Nashvillian Taylor Swift included it as a selection in her official iTunes playlist, tweeting, "I think this is my favorite duet. It's exquisite." The Civil Wars later teamed up with Swift to record "Safe and Sound" for the soundtrack of the movie, The Hunger Games.
White explained the song's meaning to UK newspaper, The Sun: "That song has parallels to our band and our band name," he said. "It's about all those battles you have with your spouse though it could be about addiction or even about your job. It was therapeutic to write.
We asked each other 'What would you scream at your partner - without them hearing or without any of the fallout — if you needed to get something off your chest? And that's how we wrote that song. We love to write in a way that is inclusive."
The lyrics:
You only know what I want you to
I know everything you don't want me to
Your mouth is poison, your mouth is wine
You think your dreams are the same as mine

Ooh, I don't love you but I always will
Ooh, I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I always will

I wish you'd hold me when I turn my back
The less I give, the more I get back
Ooh, your hands can heal, your hands can bruise
I don't have a choice but I still choose you

Ooh, I don't love you but I always will
Ooh, I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
Ooh, I don't love you but I always will

I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I don't love you but I always will
I always will, I always will, I always will

I always will, I always will

Randy Rogers Band - One More Sad Song

The Randy Rogers Band is an American Texas Country group from the state of Texas. The band is composed of Randy Rogers (lead vocals), Geoffrey Hill (guitar), Jon Richardson (bass guitar), Brady Black (fiddle), and Les Lawless (drums).
They have recorded four studio albums and two live albums, and have charted seven singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. 
Randy Rogers was born in Cleburne, Texas. At the age of 6 years, he learned to play the piano from his grandmother, and later started playing the guitar.
The Randy Rogers Band recorded its debut album, Live at Cheatham Street Warehouse, at a music hall of the same name in San Marcos, Texas.
By 2002, the band was signed to the independent Downtime record label, on which they released the album Like It Used to Be
It was around this time that the band began performing outside of San Marcos, primarily at Nutty Brown Cafe and Amphitheatre in nearby Dripping Springs, Texas.
Two years later, the album Rollercoaster was released, producing two minor entries on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in early 2005.
Rogers also co-wrote "Somebody Take Me Home", a song recorded by Kenny Chesney, on his 2005 album, The Road and the Radio. Several of the songs on Rollercoaster were co-written by Radney Foster, who also co-produced the album.
Just a Matter of Time, the band's first major-label album, was released on Mercury Nashville Records in 2006.
The band also released their self-titled album on September 23, 2008, also on Mercury Nashville Records. The first single "In My Arms Instead", was released in August.
The band's fifth album, Burning the Day, was released on August 24, 2010 on MCA Nashville. The album's first single was "Too Late for Goodbye." It debuted at 55 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and after four weeks on the chart, it peaked at 47.
"One More Sad Song" was released in late 2012.
The song became the band's first Billboard Top 40 hit, and the first single from their sixth album, Trouble.
The lyrics:
We're on a road to nowhere
I don't know how we got there
Some wrong turn somewhere
Maybe I just stopped trying
There's just no justifying and now we're dying

I can tell which way that you're leaning
Don't know what it is but I got a feelin'
You're almost all gone
I'm scared that when you start believing
You and me, baby, will end up being
One more sad song

How will I live without you?
Who will I be in these shoes?
Once I've lost all that I can lose
Even if you forgave me
I don't know if I could make it
But that's our whole problem, maybe

I can tell which way that you're leaning
Don't know what it is but I got a feelin'
You're almost all gone
I'm scared that when you start believing
You and me, baby, will end up being
One more sad song

About someone who had it all
Let it all go wrong

I can tell which way that you're leaning
Don't know what it is but I got a feelin'
You're almost all gone
I'm scared that when you start believing
You and me, baby, will end up being
One more sad song

I can tell which way that you're leaning
Don't know what it is but I got a feelin'
You're almost all gone
I'm scared that when you start believing
You and me, baby, will end up being

One more sad song

Patti LaBelle - On My Own ft. Michael McDonald

The Number One hit from LaBelle's 1986 platinum album, Winner in You, this is a song about being alone, together.
In the video, LaBelle and McDonald appear on separate coasts, in a split screen, and testify to the sweet sorrow of being solo after love ends.
This was written by Carole Bayer Sager and Burt Bacharach, who were married at the time. They promised the song to Patti LaBelle, but LaBelle's producer Richard Perry was less than impressed, and agreed to let Sager and Bacharach produce it instead. They cut their own backing track, which Patti LaBelle recorded on her own (pun unintended) but it wasn't until Michael McDonald was persuaded to contribute that the song came together.
The duo recorded their parts separately. Patti LaBelle filmed the video in New York and recorded her part in Philadelphia. Michael McDonald did both in LA.
Patti LaBelle was formerly in the R&B vocal group Labelle who scored an American #1 in 1975 with "Lady Marmalade." McDonald was part of the successful '70s west coast rock group The Doobie Brothers, whose biggest hit was the #1 smash "What A Fool Believes."
Labelle told NME in 1986: "The success of 'On My Own' came as a shock. I don't record for commercial value. With 'On My Own' I went into the Studio thinking, I'm gonna record something I love. Usually if I love it, it bubbles under. And I was surprised it made a hit."
The lyrics:
So many times
Said it was forever
Said our love would always be true
Something in my heart always knew
I'd be lying here beside you
On my own
On my own
On my own

So many promises
Never should be spoken
Now I know what loving you cost
Now we're up to talking divorce
And we weren't even married
On my own
Once again now
One more time
By myself

No one said it was easy
But it once was so easy
Well I believed in love
Now here I stand
I wonder why

I'm on my own
Why did it end this way
On my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again

So many times
I know I should have told you
Losing you it cut like a knife
You walked out and there went my life
I don't want to live without you
On my own
On my own
On my own

I'm on my own
Why did it end this way
On my own
This wasn't how it was supposed to be
On my own
I wish that we could do it all again

This wasn't how it was supposed to end
I wish that we could do it all again
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone
On my own, I've got to find where I belong again
I've got to learn how to be strong again
I never dreamed I'd spend one night alone
By myself by myself

I've got to find out what was mine again
My heart is saying that it's my time again
And I have faith that I will shine again
I have faith in me
On my own
On my own
On my own

Kings of Leon - Last Mile Home

Kings of Leon have stripped down "Last Mile Home," a song originally from the deluxe version of their latest album, Mechanical Bull, but written for the soundtrack of the new film August: Osage County. The lilting, soulful acoustic rendition of the tune will be found on the movie soundtrack when it is released on January 7th.
Where Does Kings of Leon's 'Supersoaker' Rank on Our 100 Best Songs of 2013 List?
"It was a story we could all easily relate to," Caleb Followill, Kings of Leon's lead singer and songwriter tells Rolling Stone of the film. "The dynamic between family is always something that you look forward to, and dread at the same time. Not only are we family, but we all have very strong Oklahoma ties, so we totally relate to that 'frontier grit.'"
Writing for the movie was the first time the rockers tackled a project that wasn't specifically related to one of their albums. "It was important for us to create a song to complement such a beautiful film," Followill says. "We submitted the song, then went out on the road, then had to find a few days to record between tours. It was a tight squeeze but we made it happen."
The lyrics:
Take it back, I never meant it
Never thought it would come to pass
Baby know it's not forgotten baby
Know that this is gonna last

By and large I had it coming
I recall the tremble in your eyes
I just want to make it better
I just want to make it right

Driven on the last mile home, driven on the last mile home
Things are always better, when were all together
I'm driving on the last mile home

Tell me that the bar is drinking,
And the lights are swinging in the smoke
I'm a fool for conversation,
And I've got nowhere to go

Dreamin' on the last mile home, dreamin' on the mile last home
Things are always better, when were all together
I'm dreamin' on the last mile home

Dreamin' on the last mile home, dreamin' on the last mile home
Things are always better when were all together
I'm dreamin' on the last mile home

Driven on the last mile home
Dreaming on the last mile home
Things are always better, when were all together
I'm dreamin' on the last mile home

Dreamin' on the last mile home, dreamin' on the mile last home
Things are always better, when were all together
I'm dreamin' on the last mile home

Baby I'm the one who's broken
Maybe I'm the breaker of the hearts
Been so lone since we've spoken

It's been lonely baby its been hard

Radney Foster - Nobody wins

"Nobody Wins" is a song recorded by American country music musician Radney Foster, cowritten by himself and Kim Richey.
It was released in January 1993 as the second single from his debut album Del Rio, TX 1959.
The song is the highest-peaking single of his career, spending twenty weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts and peaking at number 2.
Radney Foster said: “I wrote this song with my friend Kim Richey, on her back porch on a beautiful sunny spring day. I drove up a little late because my wife and I had had a big fight the night before, and I’d gotten very little sleep. When I confessed my excuse, Kim said that she and her boyfriend had a fight the night before as well. I said, “It’s awful. Nobody ever wins in that deal.” And she said, “’Nobody Wins’ is a song title.” And I said, “Well, that’s what we’re writing today.
This was one of the easiest tracks to nail when we recorded, because everyone in the band really knew the song. I had sent them all the songs in advance, but once we got there most everyone confessed they either knew the song as a kid or played it in cover bands. It all fell right into place.”
The lyrics:
You said this ain't over yet
I've said things that I'll regret
Won't be easy to forget
Scars take time to heal

Before another bitter word gets used
I was hoping we could call a truce

'Cause nobody wins, we both lose
Hearts get broken and love gets bruised
When we light that same old fuse
Again and again

Nobody wins, slammin' doors
We both lost this fight before
And I won't play that game no more
'Cause nobody wins

Darlin', we got too much pride
It don't matter whose wrong or right
Honey, love ain't black and white
It's the way I feel bout you

All I want to do is hold you tight
I can't take another angry night

Nobody wins, we both lose
Hearts get broken and love gets bruised
When we light that same old fuse
Again and again

Nobody wins, slammin' doors
We both lost this fight before
And I won't play that game no more
'Cause nobody wins

I know something's 'bout to break if we don't bend
Baby, what's it gonna take

Nobody wins, we both lose
Hearts get broken and love gets bruised
When we light that same old fuse
Again and again

Nobody wins, slammin' doors
We both lost this fight before
And I won't play that game no more
'Cause nobody wins
Nobody wins, nobody wins


Nobody wins

Eddie Cantor- Makin' Whoopee

"Makin' Whoopee!" is a jazz/blues song, first popularized by Eddie Cantor in the 1928 musical Whoopee!. Gus Kahn wrote the lyrics and Walter Donaldson composed the music for the song as well as for the entire musical.
The title is a euphemism for sexual intimacy, and the song itself has been called a "dire warning", largely to men, about the "trap" of marriage.
"Makin' Whoopee" begins with the celebration of a wedding, honeymoon and marital bliss, but moves on to babies and responsibilities, and ultimately on to affairs and possible divorce, ending with a judge's advice.

The lyrics:
Every time I hear that dear old wedding march
I feel rather glad I have a broken arch.
I have heard a lot of people talk
And I know that marriage is a long long walk.

To most people weddings mean romance
But I prefer a picnic or a dance.

Another bride,
Another groom,
Another sunny honeymoon,
Another season,
Another reason
For making whoopee.

The chorus sings, "Here comes the bride."
Another victim is by her side.
He's lost his reason cause it's the season
For making whoopee.

Down through the countless ages
You'll find it everywhere.
Somebody makes good wages.
Somebody wants her share.

She calls him 'Toodles' and rolls her eyes.
She makes him strudles and bakes him pies.
What is it all for?
It's so he'll fall for making whoopee.

Another year or maybe less
What's this I hear?
Well, can't you guess?
She feels neglected so he's suspected
Of making whoopee.

She sits alone most every night.
He doesn't phone or even write.
He says he's busy.
But she says, "Is he?"
He's making whoopee.

He doesn't make much money:
Five thousand dollars per.
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says, "You'll pay six to her."

He says, "Now judge, suppose I fail?"
The judge says, "Budge right into jail."
You better keep her.
You'll find it's cheaper

Than making whoopee.  

Îmi dau seama, dragul meu prieten, că în mine se produce nu atît o îndreptare, cît o transformare: sigur că nu pot promite – şi nici măcar spera – că nu va mai rămîne în mine nimic care să nu mai aibă nevoie de schimbare.
Cum să nu mai am în mine multe de înfrînat, de micşorat, de înălţat?
Şi chiar aceasta este dovada spiritului ce a devenit mai bun: că îşi vede defectele pe care pînă atunci nu şi le ştia.
În cazul unor bolnavi este prilej de bucurie chiar faptul că au înţeles că sînt bolnavi.
Îmi doresc să împart cu tine această schimbare a mea, produsă dintr-odată: atunci voi avea o încredere mai solidă în prietenia noastră, o prietenie adevărată pe care nu o va putea rupe nici nădejdea, nici teama, nici grija pentru folosul propriu, o prietenie cu care oamenii ajung pînă în ceasul morţii, o prietenie pentru care ei sînt gata să moară.
Îţi voi da multe pilde de oameni care au dus lipsă nu de un prieten, ci de prietenie: aşa ceva nu se poate întîmpla atunci cînd aceeaşi voinţă de a privi spre scopuri nobile împinge spiritele să se alăture.
Şi cum de nu se poate întîmpla aşa?
Pentru că ştiu că le au pe toate în comun, şi mai ales pe cele ce le sînt împotrivă.
Nu-ţi poţi închipui ce schimbare văd că-mi aduce fiecare zi care trece. „Trimite-ne şi nouă, zici, bunurile pe care le-ai încercat cu atîta folos.” Eu unul doresc cu adevărat să le fac pe toate să treacă asupra ta şi tocmai de aceea mă bucur să adun învăţătură, ca să o pot da mai departe: nimic nu-mi va face plăcere, oricît de ales şi de benefic ar fi, dacă eu singur voi profita de ştiinţa mea.
Dacă înţelepciunea mi-ar fi dată cu această condiţie, să o ţin închisă în mine şi să nu o vestesc prin cuvinte, aş refuza-o: nu are cum să fie plăcută posesiunea unui bun din care nimeni altcineva nu se împărtăşeşte.

Ramîi cu bine,
Seneca

Ben Folds - Landed

This song is about a guy going out with a girl who is just crazy. She pulled him from his normal life and made him revolve his life around hers, and it was almost like he was not on earth, he was just flying around with her. Now he realizes that he was not the crazy one and he's ready to come back or "land," and he's asking his friend to pick him up from the crazy life he was living because he's ready to leave that life behind.
Ben Folds told MTV news that this song was inspired by a close friend who got divorced. Said Folds: "He went through a really, really rough time with his horrible witch of a wife and then he got out of it. 'Landing' just refers to his flight back to his hometown and so him coming back to being himself."
Typical for Folds, this song sold a lot of internet downloads but got very little airplay.
The lyrics:
We'd hit the bottom
I thought it was my fault
And in a way I guess it was
I'm just now finding out what it was all about

We'd moved to the west coast
Away from everyone
She never told me that you called
Back when I was still, I was still in love

'Till I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye, I tried

And I twisted it wrong just to make it right
Had to leave myself behind
And I've been flying high all night
So come pick me up, I've landed

The daily dramas
She made from nothing
So nothing ever made it right

She liked to push me
And talk me back down
'Til I believed I was the crazy one
And in a way I guess I was

While I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye, I tried

Dragging the sea of a trouble mind
Had to leave myself behind
Singing bye bye, goodbye, I tried

If you wrote me off, I'd understand it
'Cause I've been on some other planet
So come pick me up
I've landed

And you will be so
Happy to know
I've come alone
It's over

While I opened my eyes and walked out the door
And the clouds came tumbling down
And it's bye-bye, goodbye, I tried

Down comes the reign of the telephone czar
It's okay to call
And I will answer for myself
Come pick me up

Come pick me up

I've landed

ABBA - Knowing Me, Knowing You

"Knowing Me, Knowing You" is a hit single recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA.
The song was written by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus and Stig Anderson, with the lead vocal sung by Anni-Frid Lyngstad.
"Knowing Me, Knowing You" was recorded in 1976 at the Metronome studio in Stockholm and was released as a single in February 1977, becoming one of the group's most successful hits. The B-side was "Happy Hawaii", an arrangement of another ABBA song, "Why Did It Have to Be Me?", but with a different lead vocalist and lyrics. "Knowing Me, Knowing You" was one of the first ABBA songs to deal with the break-up of a relationship, though with an upbeat quality to the music. It predates the divorces of the ABBA members, as well as further break-up songs to come: "The Winner Takes It All", "One of Us" and "When All Is Said and Done".
Group member Benny Andersson named "Knowing Me, Knowing You" as one of ABBA's best recordings in a 2004 interview, along with "Dancing Queen", "The Winner Takes It All" and "When I Kissed the Teacher".
Bjorn Ulvaeus of ABBA came up with this song at a time when the relationships within the group were strained, and his lyric reflect that.
Said Ulvaeus: "I think I wrote 'Knowing Me Knowing You' before the divorce. In many ways, Agnetha and my divorce was an amicable one, we just grew apart and decided let's split up. Benny and Frida's was a little more difficult. It was not a happy time but still very creative."
"Conociéndome, Conociéndote" is the Spanish-language version of the song. It was included in the compilation Oro: Grandes Éxitos released in 1993.
Music video
The music video, (directed by Lasse Hallström) despicted the band against various colored backdrops singing while facing each other, turning away as a new line is sung. At the end of the video, the band's female members were seen walking away through thick snow.
The lyrics:
No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes
Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye

Knowing me, knowing you
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it, this time we're through

Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Memories, good days, bad days
They'll be with me always
In these old familiar rooms children would play
Now there's only emptiness, nothing to say

Knowing me, knowing you
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it, this time we're through

Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you
It's the best I can do

Knowing me, knowing you
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you
We just have to face it, this time we're through

Breaking up is never easy, I know
But I have to go
Knowing me, knowing you

It's the best I can do
