Billie Eilish Pirate Baird
O'Connell (born December 18, 2001) is an American singer and songwriter. Her
debut single, "Ocean Eyes", went viral and has accumulated over 194
million streams on Spotify as of January 2019. Her debut EP Don't Smile at Me was
released in August 2017. Following the EP's success, Apple Music named Eilish
as its newest Up Next artist a month later in September 2017
The song's title and chorus
were inspired by a line from Roma, where a child states, "When I was older
I used to be a sailor, but I drowned in a storm."
[Chorus]
When I was older
I was a sailor
On an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler
Than it should ever be
Mhm
[Verse]
I'm on my back again
Dreaming of a time and place
Where you and I remain the best of friends
Even after all this ends
Can we pretend?
I'm on my-
I'm on my back again
It seems more and more
Like all we ever do is see
How far it bends
Before it breaks in half and then
We bend it back again
[Pre-Chorus]
Guess I got caught in the middle of it
Yes I’ve been taught, got a little of it
In my blood, in my blood
Memories burn like a forest fire
Heavy rain turns any funeral pyre to mud
In the flood
[Chorus]
When I was older
I was a sailor
On an open sea
But now I'm underwater
And my skin is paler
Than it should ever be
[Bridge]
I'm watching movies back to back
In black and white, I never
Seen anybody do it like I do it any better
Then going over you, I'm overdue for no endeavors
Nobody lonely like I'm lonely and I don't know whether
You'd really like it in the limelight
You'd sympathize with all the bad guys
I'm still a victim on my own right
But I'm the villain in my own eyes
[Outro]
When I was older
I was a sailor
On an open sea.

"Back to Life"
is a song by American Singer Hailee Steinfeld, released as a single from the
soundtrack of the film Bumblebee on November 2, 2018. Steinfeld also stars in
one of the lead roles of the film
The song has been called
an "electro-kissed anthem" with "shimmering production" and
"loved-up lyrics", with Steinfeld singing "Our love's enough,
transcending us through space and time. It's holding up. It keeps you and me intertwined."
The chorus, which contains the line "'Cause I'm bringing you back to
life", was called "earnest".
Steinfeld talked about the
song in a social media post from October 2018, saying that it would be the
first time she has her own song in a film she stars in. It was pointed out by

for Pitch Perfect 2 and 3. Steinfeld hosted and performed the song for the
first time at the 2018 MTV Europe Music Awards, two days after the song's
release.

[Intro]
‘Cause I’m bringing you back to life
[Verse 1]
Our love's enough
Transcending us through space and time
It's holding up
It keeps you and me intertwined
[Pre-Chorus]
What's a pipe dream if you ain't trying to do it?
What's a heartbreak if you ain't crying all through it?
What's a sunset if you ain't riding into it?
Let's drive into it
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m bringing you back to life (Back)
And I know that you're gone but I swear that you're here
It's a feeling that won't disappear
And you're bringing me back to life (Back)
I was looking for something that I couldn't find
It's a feeling you give me inside
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
‘Cause I’m bringing you back to life
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This feeling's coming back to life
[Verse 2]
Our memories
They're more than just our history (Our history)
They lift me up
They flow like electricity (No, no, no)
[Pre-Chorus]
What's a pipe dream if you ain't trying to do it?
What's a heartbreak if you ain't crying all through it?
What's a sunset if you ain't riding into it?
Let's drive into it
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m bringing you back to life (Back)
And I know that you're gone but I swear that you're here
It's a feeling that won't disappear
And you're bringing me back to life (Back)
I was looking for something that I couldn't find
It's a feeling you give me inside

I can see you in the night
Coming through like flashing lights
When the world is passing by
Oh, oh, oh
I can see you in the night
Coming through like flashing lights
When the world is passing by
Oh, oh, oh (Oh)
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m bringing you back to life (Back)
And I know that you're gone but I swear that you're here

"Hawaiian War Chant"
was an American popular song whose original melody and lyrics were written in
the 1860s by Prince Leleiohoku. The original title of the song was Kāua
I Ka Huahuaʻi or "We Two in the
Spray." It was not written as a chant, and the Hawaiian lyrics describe a
clandestine meeting between two lovers, not a battle. The English title therefore has
nothing to do with the song as it was originally written and performed in
Hawaii.
Under the original title,
the song was recorded around June 1911 by the Crowel Glee Club, and released by
Columbia Records.
English lyrics by Ralph
Freed were written in 1936 and the melody changed somewhat at that time by Johnny
Noble. Tommy Dorsey recorded it on November 29, 1938, and it was released on Victor
Records in the United States and Canada. In a 1942 performance, Dorsey's band
featured drummer Buddy Rich and trumpeter Ziggy Elman for this song. The song
was featured in the 1942 film Ship Ahoy starring Eleanor Powell, Red Skelton and
the Tommy Dorsey Band. The song features prominently in Walt Disney's Enchanted
Tiki Room, a Disney theme park attraction that first opened at Disneyland in
1963.
Spike Jones recorded the
song for Victor Records in February 1946 with Carl Grayson on vocal. It reached number eight on the
charts, according to Joel Whitburn.
William Pitt Leleiohoku II,
Born Kalahoʻolewa (January 10, 1855 – April 9, 1877), was a prince
of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi and member of the reigning House
of Kalākaua.
At birth, he was hānai (informally adopted) by Ruth Keʻelikōlani
and later legally adopted by her in 1862 as the heir to her vast land holdings.
He was educated at St. Alban's College, a precursor of the present ʻIolani School. After finishing his education, he
worked in the governmental Foreign Office and served as an officer on the
personal military staff of King Lunalilo. On February 14, 1874, his brother Kalākaua
was elected king after the death of Lunalilo. Declared heir apparent to his childless brother,
Leleiohoku was expected to inherit the throne of Hawaii. He
would also serve as a Privy Councilor and member of the House of Nobles in the Legislature
of the Kingdom of Hawaii. During Kalākaua's trip to the United States
to negotiate the Reciprocity Treaty of 1875, he ruled as regent in the
monarch's absence from November 17, 1874, to February 15, 1875. Leleiohoku died
at the age of 22 from rheumatic fever resulting in the proclamation of his
sister Liliʻuokalani as the next heir to the throne. An
accomplished musical composer, Leleiohoku is remembered for composing many folk
songs including "Kāua I Ka Huahuaʻi",
which was adapted into the American popular song "Hawaiian War Chant".
There's a sunny little funny little melody
That was started by a native down in Waikiki
He would gather a crowd down beside the sea
And they'd play his gay Hawaiian chant
Soon the other little natives started singin' it
And the hula hula maidens started swingin' it
Like a tropical storm that's the way it hit
Funny little gay Hawaiian Chant
Ow way tah tualan Me big bad fightin' man
Tho it started on an island down Hawaii way
It's as popular in Tennessee or Ioway
If you wander into any cabaret
You will hear this gay Hawaiian Chant.

Crime of the Century is
the third studio album by the English rock band Supertramp, released in
September 1974 on A&M Records. Crime of the Century was Supertramp's
commercial breakthrough in both the US and UK, aided by the UK hit "Dreamer"
and the US hit "Bloody Well Right". It was a UK Top 10 album and a US
Top 40 album, eventually being certified Gold in the US in 1977 after the
release of Even in the Quietest Moments.... The album was Supertramp's first to
feature drummer Bob Siebenberg(at the time credited as Bob C. Benberg),
woodwinds player John Anthony Helliwell, bassist Dougie Thomson, and
co-producer Ken Scott. The album has received critical acclaim, including its
inclusion in Rolling Stone's "50 Greatest Prog Rock Albums of All Time".
The album's dedication
reads "To Sam", which is a nickname for Stanley August Miesegaes, the
Dutch millionaire who supported the band financially from 1969–72
Supertramp (known as Daddy
in 1969–1970) are an English rock band formed in London in 1969. Though their
music was initially categorised as progressive rock, they later incorporated a
combination of traditional rock, pop and art rock into their music.
The band's work is marked
by the individual songwriting of founders Roger Hodgson and Rick Davies and the
prominent use of Wurlitzer electric piano and saxophone. Though their early
style was progressive, they enjoyed greater commercial success when they
incorporated more radio-friendly pop elements into their work in the mid-1970s,
going on to sell more than 60 million albums. The band reached their commercial
peak with 1979's Breakfast in America, which sold more than 20 million copies.
Supertramp attained
significant popularity in the US, Canada, Europe, South Africa, and Australasia.
Since co-founder
Hodgson's departure in 1983, Davies has led the band by himself.
The actors and jesters are here
The stage is in darkness and clear
For raising the curtain
And no-one's quite certain whose play it is
How long ago, how long
If only we had listened then
If we'd known just how right we were going to be
For we dreamed a lot
And we schemed a lot
And we tried to sing of love before the stage fell
apart
If everyone was listening you know
There'd be a chance that we could save the show
Who'll be the last clown
To bring the house down?
Oh no, please no, don't let the curtain fall
Well, what is your costume today?
Who are the props in your play?
You're acting a part which you thought from the start
