"Unconditionally" is a song by American Singer Katy Perry. It was released as the second single from her fourth studio álbum Prism(2013) on October 16, 2013. Inspiration for the song came primarily from a humanitarian trip to Madagascar that Perry made in partnership with UNICEF. Having been surrounded by what she described as unconditional love, she co-wrote it with the song's producers Dr. Luke, Max Martin and Cirkut to reflect that feeling.

"Unconditionally" is a power ballad styled in rock, backed against a bassline and percussion. Commercially, it peaked within the top ten in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Italy, Lebanon, and South Africa as well as the top twenty in Australia, Austria, Canada, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and the United States.

The single release was promoted with an Instagram-based campaign, a lyric video directed by Aya Tanimura and live performances—one of the latter, at the American Music Awards of 2013, was the center of controversy due to accusations of cultural appropriation and racism. Brent Bena corso served as the director for the track's music video, which adopts the theme of love and uses a series of metaphors to enrich its concept.

Oh no, did I get too close?

Oh, did I almost see what's really on the inside?

All your insecurities

All the dirty laundry

Never made me blink one time

Unconditional, unconditionally

I will love you unconditionally

There is no fear now

Let go and just be free

I will love you unconditionally

So come just as you are to me

Don't need apologies

Know that you are all worthy

I'll take your bad days with your good

Walk through this storm I would

I'd do it all because I love you

I love you

Unconditional, unconditionally

I will love you unconditionally

There is no fear now

Let go and just be free

I will love you unconditionally

So open up your heart and just let it begin

Open up your heart and just let it begin

Open up your heart and just let it begin

Open up your heart

Acceptance is the key to be

To be truly free

Will you do the same for me?

Unconditional, unconditionally

I will love you unconditionally

And there is no fear now

Let go and just be free

'Cause I will love you unconditionally (oh yeah)

I will love you (unconditionally)

I will love you

I will love you unconditionally.

"Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough" is the title of a 1992 rock ballad performed as a duet by the American singers Patty Smyth and Don Henley. The song was written by Smyth and Glen Burtnik.

Now, I don't wanna lose you

But I don't wanna use you

Just to have somebody by my side

And I don't wanna hate you

I don't wanna take you

But I don't wanna be the one to cry

And I don't really matter to anyone anymore

But like a fool I keep losing my place

And I keep seeing you walk through that door

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much

And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust

There's a reason why people don't stay where they are

Baby, sometimes love just ain't enough

Now, I could never change you

I don't wanna blame you

Baby, you don't have to take the fall

Yes, I may have hurt you

But I did not desert you

Maybe I just wanna have it all

It makes a sound like thunder

It makes me feel like rain

And like a fool who will never see the truth

I keep thinking something's gonna change

But there's a danger in loving somebody to much

And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust

There's a reason why people don't stay where they are

Baby, sometimes love just ain't enough

And there's no way home when it's late at night and you're all alone

Are there things that you wanted to say?

And do you feel me beside you in your bed

There beside you where I used to be?

But there's a danger in loving somebody to much

And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust

There's a reason why people don't stay where they are

Baby, sometimes love just ain't enough.

Hey, hey, hey

Your lipstick stains

On the front lobe of my left side brains

I knew I wouldn't forget you

And so I went and let you blow my mind

Your sweet moonbeam

The smell of you in every single dream I dream

I knew when we collided

You're the one I have decided who's one of my kind

Hey, soul sister

Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio stereo

The way you move ain't fair, you know

Hey, soul sister

I don't wanna miss a single thing you do

Tonight

Hey, hey, hey

Just in time, I'm so glad

You have a one track mind like me

You gave my life direction

A game show love connection

We can't deny

I'm so obsessed

My heart is bound to beat

Right out my untrimmed chest

I believe in you

Like a virgin, you're Madonna

And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind

Hey, soul sister

Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio stereo

The way you move ain't fair, you know

Hey, soul sister

I don't wanna miss a single thing you do

Tonight

The way you can cut a rug

Watching you's the only drug I need

You're so gangsta, I'm so thug

You're the only one I'm dreaming of, you see?

I can be myself now finally

In fact, there's nothing I can't be

I want the world to see you be

With me

Hey, soul sister

Ain't that Mr. Mister on the radio stereo

The way you move ain't fair, you know

Hey, soul sister

I don't wanna miss a single thing you do

Tonight

Hey, soul sister

I don't wanna miss a single thing you do

Tonight

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Tonight

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

A DUSTLAND FAIRYTALE

"A Dustland Fairytale" is a song by American rock band The Killers, released as the fourth single from the band's third studio album, Day & Age(2008). The Killers performed the song live on Late Night with David Letterman accompanied by an orchestra in 2009.

The song's lyrics focus upon frontman Brandon Flowers' parents, referring to "Cinderella" (his mother) and a "slick chrome American prince" (his father).

A Dustland Fairytale beginning

Just another white trash county kiss

In '61, long brown hair, foolish eyes

He looks just like you'd want him to

Some kind of slick chrome American Prince

A blue jean serenade, and moon river, what you do to me

I don't believe you

Saw Cinderella in a party dress

But she was looking for a nightgown

I saw the devil wrapping up his hands

He's getting ready for the showdown

I saw the minute that I turned away

I got my money on a pawn tonight

Change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire

She says she always knew he'd come around

And the decades disappear like sinking ships

But we persevere, God gives us hope

But we still fear what we don't know

The mind is poison

Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalized

Drawbridges closing

Saw Cinderella in a party dress

But she was looking for a nightgown

I saw the devil wrapping up his hands

He's getting ready for the showdown

I saw the ending when they turned the page

I took my money and I ran away

Straight to the valley of the great divide

Out where the dreams are high

Out here, the wind don't blow

Out here, the good girls die

And the sky won't snow

Out here, the birds don't sing

Out here, the fields don't grow

Out here, the bell don't ring

Out here, the bell don't ring

Out here, the good girls die

Now Cinderella, don't you go to sleep

It's such a bitter form of refuge

Oh don't you know, the kingdom's under siege

And everybody needs you?

Is there still magic in the midnight sun

Or did you leave it back in 61?

In the cadence of a young man's eyes

Out where the dreams all hide.
