HERE YOU CAME AGAIN

ALBUM: HERE YOU COME AGAIN

LABEL: RCA RECORDS

GENRE: COUNTRY POP

YEAR: 1977

"Here You Come Again" is a song written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil, and recorded by American entertainer Dolly Parton. It was released as a single in September 1977 as the title track from Parton's álbum of the same name, and which topped the U.S. country singles chart for five weeks, and won the 1979 Grammy award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance; it also reached number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, representing Parton's first significant pop crossover hit.

The song was composed by Mann and Weil, and it was a rare example of a Parton hit that she did not write herself. The songwriting duo originally composed "Here You Come Again" in 1975 as a potential comeback hit for Brenda Lee, but when Lee decided not to record it, the song made its way to Parton, who was looking for something to broaden her appeal. Her producer, Gary Klein, had heard the song on the B.J. Thomas's recently released self-titled album, reporting Parton begged him to add a steel guitar to avoid sounding too pop, and he called in Al Perkins to fill that role. "She wanted people to be able to hear the steel guitar, so if someone said it isn't country, she could say it and prove it," Klein told Roland. "She was so relieved. It was like her life sentence was reprieved."

Here you come again

Just when I've begun to get myself together

You waltz right in the door

Just like you've done before

And wrap my heart 'round your little finger

Here you come again

Just when I'm about to make it work without you

You look into my eyes

And lie those pretty lies

And pretty soon I'm wonderin' how I came to doubt you

All you have to do is smile that smile

And there go all my defenses

Just leave it up to you and in a little while

You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses

Here you come again

Lookin' better than a body has a right to

And shakin' me up so that all I really know

Is here you come again ...

And here I go

[break]

All you have to do is smile that smile

And there go all my defenses

Just leave it up to you and in a little while

You're messin' up my mind and fillin' up my senses

Here you come again

Lookin' better than a body has a right to

And shakin' me up so that all I really know

Is here you come again ...

And here I go (here you come again)

Here I go

Here I go (here you come again)

And here I go

Here I go (here you come again)

Here I go

Here I go (here you come again)

Here I go.

ALBUM: FUTURE GAMES

GENRE: ROCK

YEAR: 1971

Future Games is the fifth studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 3 September 1971. It was recorded in the summer of 1971 at Advision Studios in London and was the first album to feature Christine McVie as a full member. This album was also the first of five albums to feature American guitarist Bob Welch. “He was totally different background – R&B, sort of jazzy. He brought his personality,” Mick Fleetwood said of Welch in a 1995 BBC interview. “He was a member of Fleetwood Mac before we’d even played a note.”

Without the 1950s leanings of departed guitarist Jeremy Spencer, the band moved further away from blues and closer to the melodic pop sound that would finally break them into America four years later. After the band completed the album and turned it in, the record label said that it would not release an album with only seven songs, and demanded that they record an eighth. "What a Shame" was recorded hastily as a jam to fulfill this request.

The magic of a blackened night

Can go so far, but not seem right

Although my love, will drive away the sunshine

The magic of, a blackened night

And before you go show me

All the words of love

And the falling sands of time

Blow my wind and drifted by

To and fro the trees still bend

Wondering what the host will send

We will go right down to the sea

Bathing in light we will be free to wander

And the falling sands of time

Blow my wind and drifted by

To and fro the trees still bend

Wondering what the host will send

We will go right down to the sea

Bathing in light we will be free to wander

And the falling sands of time

Blow my wind and drifted by

To and fro the trees still bend

Wondering what the host will send

We will go right down to the sea

Bathing in light we will be free to wander

The magic of a blackened night

Can go so far, but not seem right

Although my love, will drive away the sunshine

The magic of, a blackened night.

George Harrison: Living in the Material World is a 2011 documentary film directed by Martin Scorsese, based on the life of The Beatles George Harrison. It earned six nominations at the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards, winning two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Directing for Nonfiction Programming and Outstanding Nonfiction Special.

The film currently holds an 85% approval rating at Rotten Tomatoes, based on 34 professional reviews.

"Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" is a song by English musician George Harrison, released as the opening track of his 1973 album Living in the Material World. It was also issued as the album's lead single, in May that year, and became Harrison's second US number 1, after "My Sweet Lord". In doing so, the song demoted Paul McCartney and Wings' "My Love" from the top of the BillboardHot 100, marking the only occasion that two former Beatles have held the top two chart positions in America. The single also reached the top ten in Britain, Canada, Australia and other countries around the world.

"Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)" is one of its author's most popular songs, among fans and music critics, and features a series of much-praised slide-guitar solos from Harrison. The recording signalled a deliberate departure from his earlier post-Beatles work, in the scaling down of the big sound synonymous with All Things Must Pass and his other co-productions with Phil Spector over 1970–71. Aside from Harrison, the musicians on the track are Nicky Hopkins, Jim Keltner, Klaus Voormann and Gary Wright. In his lyrics, Harrison sings of his desire to be free of karma and the constant cycle of rebirth; he later described the song as "a prayer and personal statement between me, the Lord, and whoever likes it".

George Harrison MBE(25 February 1943 – 29 November 2001) was an English musician, singer-songwriter, music and film producer who achieved international fame as the lead guitarist of the Beatles. Often referred to as "the quiet Beatle", Harrison embraced Indian culture and helped broaden the scope of popular music through his incorporation of Indian instrumentation and Hindu-aligned spirituality in the Beatles' work. Although the majority of the band's songs were written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, most Beatles albums from 1965 onwards contained at least two Harrison compositions. His songs for the group included "Taxman", "Within You Without You", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Here Comes the Sun" and "Something".

Harrison's earliest musical influences included George Formby and Django Reinhardt; Carl Perkins, Chet Atkins and Chuck Berry were subsequent influences. By 1965, he had begun to lead the Beatles into folk rock through his interest in Bob Dylan and the Byrds, and towards Indian classical music through his use of the sitar on "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)". Having initiated the band's embracing of Transcendental Meditation in 1967, he subsequently developed an association with the Hare Krishna movement. After the band's break-up in 1970, Harrison released the triple album All Things Must Pass, a critically acclaimed work that produced his most successful hit single, "My Sweet Lord", and introduced his signature sound as a solo artist, the slide guitar. He also organised the 1971 Concert for Bangladesh with Indian musician Ravi Shankar, a precursor to later benefit concerts such as Live Aid. In his role as a music and film producer, Harrison produced acts signed to the Beatles Apple record label before founding Dark Horse Records in 1974 and co-founding HandMade Films in 1978.

RED RAIN

PETER GABRIEL

SONGWRITER: PETER GABRIEL

COUNTRY: U. K.

ALBUM: SO

LABEL: GEFFEN

GENRE: PROGRESSIVE ROCK

YEAR: 1986

"Red Rain" is the first track on English rock musician Peter Gabriel's 1986 solo album So. In the USA, it was the second single from the album and reached number three on Billboard magazine's Mainstream Rock chart in 1986, where it stayed for three weeks between July and August. In the rest of the world it was not released until 1987 and received less airplay and sales, peaking at 46 in the UK singles chart after entering the chart in July of that year. A live version also charted in the US and the UK in 1994.

The song is a combination of several inspirations. The lyrics directly reference a recurring dream Gabriel was having where he swam in his backyard pool drinking cold red wine. Another version of the dream had bottles in the shape of people falling from a cliff. Once they smashed with impact onto the ground, the people-shaped bottles had red liquid coming out, and then it began to rain the same red liquid.

Earlier in his solo career, Gabriel had an idea for a movie, Mozo. In it, villagers were punished for their sins with a blood-red rain. "Red Rain" was to be the theme song. This idea was eventually scrapped, although there was a mention of Mozo in the song "On the Air" in Peter Gabriel (II). "Down The Dolce Vita", "Here Comes The Flood", and "Exposure" reference the Mozo story, as well.

Peter Brian Gabriel (born 13 February 1950) is an English singer, songwriter, and record producer who rose to fame as the original lead singer and flautist of the progressive rock band Genesis. After leaving Genesis in 1975, Gabriel launched a successful solo career with "Solsbury Hill" as his first single. His 1986 album So, is his best-selling release and is certified triple platinum in the UK and five times platinum in the U.S. The album's most successful single, "Sledgehammer", won a record nine MTV Awards at the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards and is MTV's most played music video of all time.

Gabriel has been a champion of world music for much of his career. He co-founded the WOMAD festival in 1982. He has continued to focus on producing and promoting world music through his Real World Records label. He has also pioneered digital distribution methods for music, co-founding OD2, one of the first online music download services. Gabriel has also been involved in numerous humanitarian efforts. In 1980, he released the anti-Apartheid single "Biko". He has participated in several human rights benefit concerts, including Amnesty International's Human Rights Now! tour in 1988, and co-founded the Witness human rights organisation in 1992. Gabriel developed The Elders with Richard Branson, which was launched by Nelson Mandela in 2007.

Red rain is coming down

Red rain

Red rain is pouring down

Pouring down all over me

I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream

I cannot make a single sound as you scream

It can't be that cold,the ground is still warm to touch

Hay ay ay we touch

This place is so quiet, sensing that storm

Red rain is coming down

Red rain

Red rain is pouring down

Pouring down all over me

Well I've seen them, buried in a sheltered place in this town

They tell you that this rain can sting and look down

There is no blood around see no sign of pain

Hay ay ay no pain

Seeing no red at all, see no rain

Red rain is coming down

Red rain

Red rain is pouring down

Pouring down all over me

Red rain

Haahhh

Haahhh

Putting the pressure on much harder now

To return again and again

(Back voice) Red rain

Just let the red rain splash you

Let the rain fall on your skin

(Back voice) Red rain

I come to you defences down

( Back voice ) oh oh

With the trust of a child

Hayyy ay red rain coming down

Red rain

Red rain is pouring down

Pouring down all over me

And I can't watch anymore

No more denial

It's so hard to lay down in all of this

Red rain coming down

Red rain is pouring down

Red rain is coming down all over me

I see it

Red rain coming down

Red rain is pouring down

Red rain is coming down all over me

I'm bathing in

Red rain coming down

Red rain is coming down

Red rain is coming down all over me

I'm begging you

Red rain coming down

Red rain coming down

Red rain coming down

Red rain coming downnnn

Over me in the red red sea

Over me

Over me

Red rain.
