The lyrics:

True love will never fade

I wonder if there's no forever

No walking hand in hand

Down a yellow brick road

To never never land

These days I get to where I'm going

Make it there eventually

Follow the trail of breadcrumbs

To where I'm meant to be

I don't know what brought you to me

That was up to you

There's so many come to see me

Who want their own tattoo

I fixed a needle in a holder

Laid my hand upon your spine

And there upon your shoulder

I drew the picture as your sign

When I think about us

I see the picture that we made

The picture to remind us

True love will never fade

I worked the rowdies and day trippers

Now and then I think of you

Any which way we're all shufflin'

Forward in the queue

They like to move my operation

They like to get me off the pier

And I dream I'm on a steamer

Pullin' outta here

When I think about us

I see a picture that we made

The picture to remind us

True love will never fade

Video hit Carpenters

Carpenters - Top Of The World (Live at the White House)

Live at the White House for President, Richard Nixon and visiting West German chancellor Willy Brandt.(May 1973).

Richard Carpenter wrote this with John Bettis, a lyricist who wrote the words to several Carpenters' hits as well as Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" and The Pointer Sisters' "Slow Hand."

This originally showed up on the multi-platinum album A Song For You in June 1972.

The song was released as a single in Japan in 1972 and went gold. At the same time, Country artist Lynn Anderson ("I Never Promised You A Rose Garden") covered it and her version reached #1 on the Country charts.

Finally in September 1973, the Carpenters released the song as a single in the US and UK due to popular demand. It shot straight to #1 and became one of their best known hits.

In Japan, the song was used as the opening theme song for the 1995 Japanese drama Miseinen.

In 2003, it was used for another drama, this time as the ending theme song for Beginner.

It appeared on the 2010 soundtrack of Shrek Forever After, as well as in a prominent scene of the 2012 film Dark Shadows, with a performance by the Carpenters seen on a television screen.

The lyrics:

Such a feelings coming over me

There is wonder in most every thing I see

Not a cloud in the sky, got the sun in my eyes

And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be

Is now coming true especially for me

And the reason is clear, it's because you are here

You're the nearest thing to Heaven that I've seen

I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation

And the only explanation I can find

Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around

Your love's put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name

And it's telling me that things are not the same

In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze

There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind

When this day is through I hope that I will find

That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me

All I need will be mine if you are here

I'm on the top of the world looking down on creation

And the only explanation I can find

Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around

Your love's put me at the top of the world

I'm on the top of the world lookingdown on creation

And the only explanation I can find

Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around

Your love's put me at the top of the world

Video hit Beatles

The Beatles - With a Little Help From My Friends

"With a Little Help from My Friends" (originally titled "A Little Help from My Friends") is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, released on The Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in 1967.

It was ranked No. 311 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Lennon and McCartney finished writing this song in mid-March 1967, written specifically as Starr's track for the album.

McCartney said: "It was pretty much co-written, John and I doing a work song for Ringo, a little craft job."

In 1970 Lennon stated: "Paul had the line about 'a little help from my friends.' He had some kind of structure for it, and we wrote it pretty well fifty-fifty from his original idea.", but in 1980 Lennon said: "This is Paul, with a little help from me. 'What do you see when you turn out the light/ I can't tell you, but I know it's mine...' is mine."

It was briefly called "Bad Finger Boogie" (later the inspiration for the band name Badfinger), supposedly because Lennon composed the melody on a piano using his middle finger after having hurt his forefinger.

Lennon and McCartney deliberately wrote a tune with a limited range – except for the last note, which McCartney worked closely with Starr to achieve.

Speaking in the Anthology, Starr insisted on changing the first line which originally was "What would you think if I sang out of tune? Would you throw ripe tomatoes at me?" He changed the lyric so that fans would not throw tomatoes at him should he perform it live. (In the early days, after George Harrison made a passing comment that he liked jelly babies, the group was showered with them at all of their live performances.)

The song's composition is unusually well documented as Hunter Davies was present and described the writing process in the Beatles' official biography.

The song is partly in the form of a conversation, in which the other three Beatles sing a question "Would you believe in a love at first sight?" and Starr answers, "Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time."

The band started recording the song the day before they posed for the Sgt. Pepper album cover (29 March 1967), wrapping up the session at 5:45 in the morning.

At dawn, Starr trudged up the stairs to head home – but the other Beatles cajoled him into doing his lead vocal then and there, standing around the microphone for moral support.

The lyrics:

What would you think if I sang out of tune

Would you stand up and walk out on me?

Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song

And I'll try not to sing out of key

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Mmm, I get high with a little help from my friends

Mmm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away

Does it worry you to be alone?

How do I feel by the end of the day

Are you sad because you're on your own?

No, I get by with a little help from my friends

Mmm, get by with a little help from my friends

Mmm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody?

I need somebody to love

Could it be anybody?

I want somebody to love

Would you believe in a love at first sight?

Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time

What do you see when you turn out the light?

I can't tell you but I know it's mine

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Mmm, get by with a little help from my friends

Oh, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

Do you need anybody?

I just need someone to love

Could it be anybody?

I want somebody to love

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Mmm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Yes, I get high with a little help from my friends

With a little help from my friends

Video hit Robbie Williams

Robbie Williams - Feel

"Feel" is a song by British singer-songwriter Robbie Williams. It was released on December 2, 2002 as the lead single from his fifth studio album, Escapology.

The song became an international hit, reaching the top of the charts in Austria, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, and top five positions in countries such as Denmark, Ireland and the United Kingdom.

Background

"Feel" was written by Robbie Williams and Guy Chambers.

According to Williams, most of the vocals are from the original demo recording, as he felt unsatisfied with the re-recorded vocals. He commented, "I just couldn't sing it as well as I did on that day."

Music video

The video shows Williams in a cowboy-like lifestyle. It gained some attention in the United States thanks to Daryl Hannah's appearance as Williams' love interest.

There were two versions of the same video, one shot in black and white and the other in colour.

In popular culture - Television

The song was featured in Cathay Pacific's 2009-2010 advertisement campaign.

A custom-made instrumental version of the song is also produced in promotion for the airline's new Business Class seats on its website.

The lyrics:

Come on hold my hand

I wanna contact the living

Not sure I understand

This role I've been given

I sit and talk to God

And he just laughs at my plans

My head speaks a language

I don't understand

I just wanna feel real love

Feel the home that I live in

'Cause I got too much life

Running through my veins, going to waste

I don't wanna die

But I ain't keen on living either

Before I fall in love

I'm preparing to leave her

I scare myself to death

That's why I keep on running

Before I've arrived

I can see myself coming

I just wanna feel real love

Feel the home that I live in

'Cause I got too much life

Running through my veins, going to waste

And I need to feel

Real love

And a life ever after

I cannot give it up

I just wanna feel real love

Feel the home that I live in

I got too much love

Running through my veins, to go to waste

I just wanna feel real love

In a life ever after, there's a hole in my soul

You can see it in my face

It's a real big place

Come and hold my hand

I want to contact the living

Not sure I understand

This role I've been given

Not sure I understand

Video hit Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode - Policy Of Truth

"Policy of Truth" is Depeche Mode's twenty-fifth UK single, released on 7 May 1990, and the third single for the album Violator.

The cover art for "Policy of Truth" has the blurred image of a nude woman. The camera angles and poses differ on the 7" Vinyl, the 12" Vinyl, the CD and Cassette. Usually each one has more than one. On the L12, there is a picture of a different woman.

Despite its success as a single, "Policy of Truth" was not included on the band's Best of, Volume 1 hits collection of 2006.

It is considered by many people as one of Depeche Mode's signature songs.

Although the song was less successful than the first two singles before, it is the only Depeche Mode single to chart higher on the Billboard Hot 100 (#15) than on the UK Singles Chart (#16), as well as peaking at number two on the American dance charts.

It also became the band's second chart-topper on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.

François Kevorkian mixed a new single version for the release, extending it slightly while lowering the tempo, and also making Dave Gahan's vocals more prominent. He also mixed the Beat Box Mix (the 12" version of the single mix) and the Pavlov's Dub.

The lyrics:

You had something to hide

Should have hidden it, shouldn't you?

Now you're not satisfied

With what you're being put through

It's just time to pay the price

For not listening to advice

And deciding in your youth

On the policy of truth

Things could be so different now

It used to be so civilized

You will always wonder how

It could have been if you'd only lied

It's too late to change events

It's time to face the consequence

For delivering the proof

In the policy of truth

Never again

Is what you swore

The time before

Never again

Is what you swore

The time before

Now you're standing there tongue tied

You better learn your lesson well

Hide what you have to hide

And tell what you have to tell

You'll see your problems multiplied

If you continually decide

To faithfully pursue

The policy of truth

Never again

Is what you swore

The time before

Never again

Is what you swore

The time before

Never again

Is what you swore

The time before

Never again

Is what you swore

The time before

Never again

Is what you swore

The time before

Video hit Van Halen

Van Halen - Runnin' with the Devil

"Runnin' with the Devil" is a rock song and the first track from Van Halen's 1978 eponymous debut album. The song lyrics were inspired by the Ohio Players song "Runnin' from the Devil".

In 2009 it was named the 9th greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1.
The song also sparked controversy at the time due to its title.
This is the first song on the first Van Halen album. It starts with a backwards blare of car horns, which was made by a contraption Eddie Van Halen put together using a bunch of horns, a car battery, and a footswitch. They used to use it when they played at clubs.
Van Halen included this song on a demo Gene Simmons produced for them in 1977. After seeing them in concert, Simmons flew the band to New York, bought them clothes, and set up a recording session. They didn't get a record deal out of it, but gained valuable experience.
Gene Simmons had the idea for the car horns at the beginning. He had the band do this on the 1977 "House Of Pain" demo he produced for them.
At one point, David Lee Roth says, "Goddamn it lady, you know I ain't lyin' too ya, I'm gonna tell you one time." Roth was never eloquent, but he was occasionally introspective (see "Hang 'Em High"), and even poetic (see "Secrets").
The song contains many of the things Van Halen became famous for - David Lee Roth's squeal, Eddie's guitar solo, and Michael Anthony's backup vocals.
Eddie's guitar is on the cover of the album. He pieced it together using parts of different guitars until he got the sound and feel he wanted. It is striped black and white on the album, but Eddie later painted it red.
This was easy for the band to record because they did not use many studio tricks. They pretty much recorded what they had been playing live for years. Later Van Halen albums became much more complicated.
Van Halen opened concerts for Journey and Black Sabbath after releasing this album, helping it sell over 5 million copies as more people found out about them.
This gets constant play on Classic Rock radio. It was not played a lot when it first came out because nobody had heard of Van Halen, so it was never burned out.
Adam Sandler pretends to play this with a Devil Horned blade he uses as a guitar at the beginning of the 2001 movie Little Nicky.
This bears a strong resemblance to Pink Floyd's similarly titled song "Run Like Hell," particularly in the intro (one note on the bass played over and over interrupted by a guitar with echo). Both songs were released within a year of each other, so it is probably just a coincidence.
The was used in the 2000 movie Ready To Rumble.

The lyrics:

Yeah, yeah, ah, yeah

I live my life like there's no tomorrow

And all I've got, I had to steal

Least I don't need to beg or borrow

Yes I'm livin' at a pace that kills

Ooh, yeah

(Ahh)

Runnin' with the Devil

(Ahh-hah, yeah)

(Woo-hoo-oo)

Runnin' with the Devil

Yes I'm, yeah, hoo

Ooh, you know I

I found the simple life ain't so simple

When I jumped out, on that road

I got no love, no love you'd call real

Ain't got nobody, waitin' at home

(Ahh, yeah)

Runnin' with the Devil

(Hold on, hold on I'm runnin' ah yeah)

Runnin' with the Devil

(Ooh ooh, one more time)

(Ha-yeah)

Runnin' with the Devil

(Oh, yeah, ya-yeah)

Runnin' with the Devil

(Woo, woo)

Runnin' with the Devil

(I'll tell you about it)

I found the simple life, it's so simple

When I jumped out, on that road

I got no love, no love you'd call real

Ain't got nobody, waitin' at home

(Ha-yeah)

Runnin' with the Devil

(Oh, yeah)

Runnin' with the Devil

(Ah-ha, yeah, ah-ha, yeah, ah-hah, yeah)

Runnin' with the Devil

Viata ne imparte in teluri diferite

Dacă nu ne apucăm de nimic altceva, care să aducă vreun folos, retragerea în sine ne va prinde bine; singuri, vom deveni mai buni.

Ce să mai spunem de faptul că ne putem retrage în compania unor oameni de foarte bună calitate şi că ne putem alege un model după care să ne conducem viaţa?

Aceasta nu se poate petrece decît într-o perioadă de viaţă tihnită.

Atunci ne putem ţine de hotărîrea luată odată: cînd nu intervine nimeni care, avînd mulţimea în ajutor, să ne întoarcă din hotărîrea luată, cît timp aceasta este încă firavă; numai atunci viaţa, care azi ni se împarte între ţeluri foarte diferite, va putea să înainteze într-o mişcare unică, neîntreruptă şi uniformă.

Căci dintre toate celelalte păcate, acesta este cel mai rău – obiceiul de a ne schimba pînă şi viciile. Astfel, nici măcar nu avem parte de norocul de a stărui într-un păcat care ne este deja cunoscut. Găsim plăcere într- unul, apoi în următorul, iar ceea ce ne face şi mai mult rău este faptul că judecăţile noastre nu sînt doar strîmbe, ci şi nestatornice.

Oscilăm şi ba prindem una, ba alta; abandonăm ce am rîvnit, rîvnim din nou ce am abandonat şi alternăm dorinţa cu regretul. Căci depindem cu totul de judecata altora şi pentru noi un lucru este foarte bun dacă sînt mulţi care îl laudă şi îl rîvnesc – nu dacă este demn de a fi lăudat şi rîvnit – şi nu considerăm că o cale este bună sau rea în sine, ci după mulţimea urmelor, între care nu se găseşte nici una de întoarcere înapoi!

Îmi vei spune: „Ce faci, Seneca? Îţi părăseşti şcoala? Cu siguranţă stoicii tăi spun: «Vom făptui pînă în ziua din urmă a vieţii, nu vom înceta să ne străduim pentru binele comun, să îi ajutăm pe fiecare şi pe toţi, să le aducem ajutor şi duşmanilor, cu mîna noastră împovărată de bătrîneţe. Deocamdată am să-ţi răspund în felul următor: „Ce vrei mai mult decît să mă arăt asemenea conducătorilor mei? Ce vreau să spun cu asta? Voi merge nu într-acolo unde m-au trimis ei, ci în direcţia în care m-au călăuzit.”

Am să vorbesc pe rînd despre două aspecte ale chestiunii: mai întîi, am să arăt că un om poate, chiar din primii săi ani de viaţă, să se încredinţeze cu totul contemplării adevărului, să umble în căutarea unor norme de viaţă şi să le pună în practică, într-un loc ferit; în al doilea rînd, chiar şi după ce şi-a cîştigat pensia în urma serviciului militar, iar vîrsta îi este foarte înaintată, un om poate face acelaşi lucru cu deplină îndreptăţire şi îşi poate îndrepta sufletul către alte activităţi şi, o dată ce le-au învăţat, încep să predea învăţătura altora.

Am să arăt că şi stoicii încuviinţează aceasta, şi asta nu pentru că mi-am impus ca regulă să nu spun nimic care să îl contrazică fie pe Zenon, fie pe Chrisip, ci pentru că însăşi tema pe care o dezbatem îmi îngăduie să merg în întîmpinarea părerii lor; căci dacă cineva urmează întotdeauna părerea unuia singur, locul nu-i este în senat, ci într-o facţiune.

Ce bine ar fi dacă toate ar fi cunoscute de toţi, iar adevărul ar fi mărturisit deschis şi nu ne-am schimba nicicînd din hotărîri!

Însă noi sîntem în situaţia de a căuta adevărul împreună cu chiar cei care ni-l predau.

Ramî cu bine,

Video hit Ugly Kid Joe

Ugly Kid Joe - Everything About You

"Everything About You" is rock band Ugly Kid Joe's first hit.

It originally appeared on their 1991 EP, As Ugly as They Wanna Be.

It gained popularity after being featured in the 1992 hit film Wayne's World and was later included on the band's full-length debut album America's Least Wanted, which was also released in 1992. "Everything About You" was also featured in the Band Hero Nintendo DS soundtrack.

Song information

The difference between the original and the re-recorded version is that there is a spoken intro on the latter. The voice of actress Julia Sweeney, in the role of Pat, the overweight androgynous character that appeared on Saturday Night Live, appears at the beginning of the song, saying "Are you the guys on the beach that hate everything? Is this some sort of hip music that I don't understand?"

The song closes with the well-known couplet, Shave and a Haircut.

Music video

The music video for the song was directed by Thomas Mignone and features the band playing on a beach in Isla Vista, CA. Mignone spend the entirety of the video's budget on an assortment of inflatable love dolls purchased on the morning of the video shoot from a Hollywood Blvd adult shop en route to the beach location. A large tank of helium was "borrowed" from a nearby dentist's office and used to inflate the love dolls so that vocalist Whitfield Crane could fly them like kites at the beach. Filming was halted for several hours when the Federal Aviation Administration authorities arrived at the location and informed Mignone aircraft arriving and departing from nearby Santa Barbara Airport were complaining of nude love dolls in their flight paths. A sheepdog appears in multiple scenes, although filming had to be cut on repeated occasions as the dog could not restrain from urinating on the drum kit.

The lyrics:

I, hate the rain and sunny weather,

And I, hate the beach and mountains too

(And) I don't like a thing about the city, no, no

And I, I, I, hate the country side too!

And I, hate everything about you!

Everything about you!

I don't like a thing about your mother,

And I, I hate your daddy's guts too,

I don't like a thing about your sister, no, no

'Cause I, I, I, think sex is overrated too.

And I, get sick when I'm around,

I, can't stand to be around

I, hate everything about you!

Everything about you, everything about you,

Everything about you

Some say I got a bad attitude,

But that don't change the way I feel about you,

If you think all this might be bringing me down,

Look again cause I ain't wearin' no frown!

I don't really care about your sister

Forget the little bitch 'cause I already kissed her

One thing that I did to your lady

Put her on the bed and she didn't say maybe

I know you know everybody knows

The way it comes, the way it goes

You think it's sad well that's too bad

'Cause I'm havin' a ball and never cared a thing about

You

Everything about you, everything about you

I get sick when I'm around

I can't stand to be around

I hate everything about you
