ALBUM: ROMA

LABEL: DARKROOM

GENRE: POP

YEAR: 2019

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.

‘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

It's a feeling you give me inside

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

‘Cause I’m bringing you back to life

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Bridge]

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

It's a feeling that won't disappear

HAWAIIAN WAR CHANT

TOMMY DORSEY

SONGWRITER: PRINCE LELEIOHOKU/1860(CO-SONGWRITERS: RALPH FREED & JOHNNY NOBLE/1930)

COUNTRY: U. S. A.

ALBUM: HAWAIIAN WAR CHANT

LABEL: VICTOR RECORDS

GENRE: JAZZ

YEAR: 1956

"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.
