"Wrecking Ball" é uma canção da cantora estadunidense Miley Cyrus, gravada para seu quarto álbum de estúdio Bangerz. Escrita por Maureen Anne McDonald (MoZella), Stephan Moccio, Sacha Skarbek, Lukasz Gottwald e Henry Russell Walter, sua produção ficou a cargo dos dois últimos sob os nomes artísticos de Dr. Luke e Cirkut. Musicalmente, é classificada como uma balada do gênero estilístico pop, e sua letra discute a deterioração de um relacionamento; houve grandes especulações de que a música foi inspirada pelo ex-noivo da artista, Liam Hemsworth. A canção foi originalmente escrita com Beyoncé em mente antes de ser oferecida para Miley. O tema foi lançado em 25 de agosto de 2013 através da RCA Records como o segundo single de Bangerz, nos formatos de CD single e download digital.

Bangerz é o quarto álbum de estúdio da artista musical estadunidense Miley Cyrus. O seu lançamento ocorreu em 4 de outubro de 2013, através da RCA Records. O material continua a retratar uma imagem mais provocativa de Cyrus, seguindo a mesma linha de Can't Be Tamed. O disco possui uma sonoridade inspirada por gêneros urbanos como o dance e o hip hop. Liricamente, as faixas referem-se ao amor e a festas, e no caso de canções como "We Can't Stop" e "Do My Thang", à independência. Descrito por Cyrus como um "sujo hip hop sulista", Bangerz apresenta uma mudança musical de projetos anteriores da artista, de cujos materiais disse estar "desconectada".

We clawed, we chained, our hearts in vain

We jumped, never asking why

We kissed, I fell under your spell and now

A love no one could deny

Don’t you ever say I just walked away

I will always want you

I can’t live a lie, running for my life

I will always want you

I came in like a wrecking ball

I never hit so hard in love

All I wanted was to break your walls

All you ever did was wreck me

Yeah you, you wreck me

I put you high up in the sky

And now, you’re not coming down

It slowly turned, you let me burn

And now, we’re ashes on the ground

Don’t you ever say I just walked away

I will always want you

I can’t live a lie, running for my life

I will always want you

I came in like a wrecking ball

I never hit so hard in love

All I wanted was to break your walls

All you ever did was wreak me

I came in like a wrecking ball

Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung

Left me crouching in a blazing fall

All you ever did was break me

Yeah you, you wreck me

I never meant to start a war

I just wanted you to let me in

And instead of using force

I guess I should've let you in

I never meant to start a war

I just wanted you to let me in

I guess I should’ve let you in

Don’t you ever say I just walked away

I will always want you

I came in like a wrecking ball

I never hit so hard in love

All I wanted was to break your walls

All you ever did was wreak me

I came in like a wrecking ball

Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung

Left me crouching in a blaze and fall

All you ever did was wreak me

Yeah, you, you wreck me

Yeah, you, you wreck me

YEAR: 1956

Cheek to Cheek é uma canção escrita por Irving Berlin para o filme de 1935 "Top Hat", que foi imortalizada com a cena em que Fred Astaire e Ginger Rogers dançam ao som dos versos cantados pelo próprio Astaire.

Heaven, I'm in heaven

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

And I seem to find the happiness I seek

When we're out together dancing cheek to cheek

Heaven, I'm in heaven

And the cares that hung around me through the week

Seem to vanish like a gambler's lucky streak

When we're out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek

Oh I love to climb a mountain

And reach the highest peak

But it doesn't thrill (boot) me half as much

As dancing cheek to cheek

Oh I love to go out fishing

In a river or a creek

But I don't enjoy it half as much

As dancing cheek to cheek

(Come on and) Dance with me

I want my arm(s) about you

That (Those) charm(s) about you

Will carry me through...

(Right up) To heaven, I'm in heaven

And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

And I seem to find the happiness I seek

When we're out together dancing, out together dancing(swinging)

Out together dancing cheek to cheek

A SONG FOR YOU

GRAM PARSONS

SONGWRITER: GRAM PARSONS

COUNTRY: USA

ALBUM: GP

LABEL: REPRISE RECORDS

GENRE: COUNTRY ROCK

YEAR: 1973

GP is American singer-songwriter Gram Parsons' debut solo album. It was originally released in a gatefold sleeve in 1973. GP received critical acclaim upon release, but failed to reach the Billboard charts. In the original Rolling Stone review, which individually covered both GP and its follow-up, Grievous Angel, the reviewer praises Gram's vocals and delivery paraphrasing Gram's lyrics, "boy, but he sure can sing".

Oh my land is like a wild goose

Wanders all around everywhere

Trembles and it shakes till every tree is loose

It rolls the meadows and it rolls the nails

So take me down to your dance floor

And I won’t mind the people when they stare

Paint a different color on your front door

And tomorrow we will still be there

Jesus built a ship to sing a song to

It sails the rivers and it sails the tide

Some of my friends don't know who they belong to

Some can't get a single thing to work inside

So take me down to your dance floor

And I won’t mind the people when they stare

Paint a different color on your front door

And tomorrow we will still be there

I loved you every day and now I'm leaving

And I can see the sorrow in your eyes

I hope you know a lot more than you're believing

Just so the sun don't hurt or when you cry

So take me down to your dance floor

And I won’t mind the people when they stare

Paint a different color on your front door

And tomorrow we will still be there

And tomorrow we will still be there
