YEAR: 1992

4 Non Blondes was an American rock band from San Francisco, California, formed in 1989. The group was formed by bassist Christa Hillhouse, guitarist Shaunna Hall, drummer Wanda Day, and vocalist and guitarist Linda Perry. Prior to the release of their first album, Roger Rocha replaced Hall on guitar, and Dawn Richardson replaced Day on drums. They hit the charts in 1993 with "What's Up?", their only major hit single. Perry left the band in 1994 to begin a solo career, and the remaining members disbanded shortly after.

Bigger, Better, Faster, More! is the only studio album released by alternative rock band 4 Non Blondes, released in 1992. The first single was "Dear Mr. President", which bass player Christa Hillhouse told Songfacts "was about the hierarchy of power and government." The second single, What's Up?, became a #1 hit in several countries and went gold in the US.

Here i am and i'm waitin' on a chance to make it right

Every word you say makes my heart go bang bang

'Cause it sounds so nice

Well i've been alone

And you've been a fool

Baby don't you know that's the golden rule

Well i've been alone

And you've been a fool

Baby don't you know that's the way i like it

Let me take you away on the wings of my superfly

Maybe we'll celebrate all the room in the sky

Heaven knows we'll go boom boom boom

What can i do to get you in the mood

Baby i give up

I'm so misused and you're so confused

It's such a drag

Well i've been alone

And you've been a fool

Baby don't you know that's the golden rule

Well i've been alone and you've been a fool

Baby don't you know that's the way i like it

Let me take you away on the wings of my superfly

Maybe we'll celebrate all the room in the sky

Heaven knows we'll go boom boom boom

Here i am and i'm waitin' on a chance

To make it right

Do i turn you on or maybe i turn you off

Could you just decide

Well i've been alone

And you've been a fool

Baby don't you know that's the golden rule

Well i've been alone

And you've been a fool

Baby don't you know that's the way i like it

Let me take you away on the wings of my superfly

Maybe we'll celebrate all the room in the sky

Let me take you away on the wings of my superfly

Maybe we'll celebrate all the room in the skyheaven knows we'll go boom boom boom.

STAND BY ME

BEN E. KING COVER BY ANTTI SYVÄNEN, ISAK GERRBO AND KIM SYVÄNEN

SONGWRITERS: Ben E. King; Leiber & Stoller

COUNTRY: U. S. A.

ALBUM: THE VERY BEST OF BEN KING

LABEL: RHINO ENTERTAINMENT

GENRE: SOUL

YEAR: 1998

"Stand by Me" is a song, originally performed by American singer-songwriter Ben E. King, and written by King, Jerry Leiber, and Mike Stoller. According to King, the title is derived from, and was inspired by, a spiritual written by Sam Cooke and J. W. Alexander called "Stand by Me Father," recorded by the Soul Stirrers with Johnnie Taylor singing lead. The third line of the second verse of the former work derives from Psalm 46:2c/3c. There have been over 400 recorded versions of the song, performed by many artists. It was featured on the soundtrack of the 1986 film Stand by Me, and a corresponding music video was released to promote the film.

In 2012, it was estimated that the song's royalties had topped £17 million, making it the sixth highest earning song as of that time. 50% of the royalties were paid to King.

In 2015, King's original version was inducted into the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress, as "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant", just under five weeks before his death. Later in the year, the 2015 line up of the Drifters recorded it, in tribute to him.

When the night has come

And the land is dark

And the moon is the only light we'll see

No I won't be afraid, No I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

Refrão:

So darling, darling

Stand by me, oh, stand by me

Oh stand, stand by me,

Stand by me

If the sky that we look upon

Should tumble and fall

Or the mountains should crumble to the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry

No I won't shed a tear

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

Refrão

Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me

Oh stand by me,

Oh won't you stand now?

Stand by me.

Valei-me, Deus

É o fim do nosso amor

Perdoa, por favor

Eu sei que o erro aconteceu

Mas não sei o que fez

Tudo mudar de vez

Onde foi que eu errei?

Eu só sei que amei

Que amei, que amei, que amei

Será talvez

Que minha ilusão

Foi dar meu coração

Com toda força

Pra essa moça

Me fazer feliz

E o destino não quis

Me ver como raiz

De uma flor de lis

E foi assim que eu vi

Nosso amor na poeira, poeira

Morto na beleza fria de Maria

E o meu jardim da vida

Ressecou, morreu

Do pé que brotou Maria

Nem margarida nasceu

E o meu jardim da vida

Ressecou, morreu

Do pé que brotou Maria

Nem margarida nasceu.

VICTIM’S OF LOVE

THE EAGLES

SONGWRITERS: JOHN SOUTHER; GLENN LEWIS FREY; DON FELDER & DONALD HUGH HENLEY

COUNTRY: U. S. A.

ALBUM: HOTEL CALIFORNIA

LABEL: ASYLUM RECORDS

GENRE: ROCK AND ROLL

YEAR: 1976

The Eagles are an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1971. The founding members were Glenn Frey (guitars, vocals), Don Henley (drums, vocals), Bernie Leadon(guitars, vocals) and Randy Meisner (bass guitar, vocals). With five number-one singles, six Grammy Awards, five American Music Awards, and six number-one albums, the Eagles were one of the most successful musical acts of the 1970s. At the end of the 20th century, two of their albums, Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975) and Hotel California, were ranked among the 20 best-selling albums in the United States according to the Recording Industry Association of America. Hotel California is ranked 37th in Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time" and the band was ranked number 75 on the magazine's 2004 list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

This Eagles rocker features lead vocals from Don Henley, lead guitar from Don Felder and slide guitar from Joe Walsh.

The lead vocals were a source of contention, as Felder came up with the idea for the song and wanted to sing it. He remembers being promised a lead vocal on the Hotel California album, and thought this would be the one.

According to Don Henley, they let record the vocal, but it didn't meet the band's standards. To distract Felder, the band's manager Irving Azoff took him out for a meal while Henley put down his tracks.

"It was a bitter pill to swallow. I felt like Don was taking that song from me," Felder said. "But there was no way to argue with my vocal versus Don Henley's vocal."

The title track won the 1977 GRAMMY for Record of the Year, and the album remains a major touchstone of its era, reflecting both the glamour and the dark underside of 1970’s Los Angeles. “Life in the Fast Lane,” “Victim of Love,” and “New Kid In Town” reflect the group’s further slide from country-rock to the mainstream pop that had California sunshine virtually shining out from its grooves.

What kind of love have you got?

You should be home, but you're not

A room full of noise

And dangerous boys

Still makes you thirsty and hot

I heard about you and that man

There's just one thing I don't understand

You say he's a liar

And he put out your fire

How come you still got his gun in your hand?

Victim of love, I see your broken heart

You got your stories to tell

Victim of love, it's such an easy part

And you know how to play it so well

Some people never come clean

I think you know what I mean

You're walkin' the wire

Pain and desire

Looking for love in between

Tell me your secrets, I'll tell you mine

This ain't no time to be cool

And tell all your girlfriends,

Your been-around-the-world friends

That talk is for losers and fools

Victim of love, I see your broken heart

I could be wrong, but I'm not, no, I'm not

Victim of love, we're not so far apart

Show me, what kind of love have you got?

Victim of love, I see your broken heart

I could be wrong, but I'm not

Victim of love, we're not so far apart

What kind of love have you got?

Victim of love, you're just a victim of love

I could be wrong, but I'm not, no, I'm not

Victim of love, now you're a victim of love

What kind of love have you got?

What kind of love have you got?

What kind of love have you got?
