If this life is one act
Why do we lay all these traps
We put them right in our path
When we just wanna be free
I will not waste my days
Making up all kinds of ways
To worry about all the things
That will not happen to me

So I just let go of what I know I don't know
And I know I'll only do this by
Living in the moment
Living my life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
With peace in my heart
Got peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home
Living in the moment

I'm letting myself off the hook for things I've done
I let my past go past
And now I'm having more fun
I'm letting go of the thoughts
That do not make me strong
And I believe this way can be the same for everyone
And if I fall asleep I know you'll be the one who'll always remind me

To live in the moment
To live my life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
With peace in my heart
Peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home

I can't walk through life facing backwards
I have tried I tried more than once to just make sure
And I was denied the future I'd been searching for
I spun around and searched no more

By living in the moment
Living my life
Easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
With peace in my heart
Peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home
I'm living in the moment I'm living my life
Just taking it easy
With peace in my mind
I got peace in my heart

I got peace in my soul
Oh wherever I'm going, I'm already home
I'm living in the moment
I'm living my life
Oh easy and breezy
With peace in my mind
I got peace in my heart
I got peace in my soul
Wherever I'm going, I'm already home
I'm living in the moment.

Norma Deloris Egstrom (May 26, 1920 – January 21, 2002), known professionally as Peggy Lee, was an American jazz and popular music singer, songwriter, composer, and actress, over a career spanning six decades. From her beginning as a vocalist on local radio to singing with Benny Goodman's big band, Lee created a sophisticated persona, writing music for films, acting, and recording conceptual record albums combining poetry and music.
"Johnny Guitar" is a song written by Peggy Lee(lyrics) and Victor Young(music) and was the title track of the 1954 film Johnny Guitar directed by Nicholas Ray and starring Joan Crawford. The music loosely echoes several themes from Spanish Dance Nº. 5: Andaluza by Enrique Granados, which was written for piano, but is often played on classical guitar.
The instrumental for the song is used over the opening credits and throughout the film. The song is played on the piano by Joan Crawford (dubbed) and sung partially at the end by Peggy Lee.
The song became an instant classic and has been covered many times as a song and as an instrumental. It was also played on all of the radio stations in the 2010 videogame Fallout: New Vegas.
Play the guitar, play it again, my Johnny
Maybe you're cold, but you're so warm inside
I was always a fool for my Johnny
For the one they call Johnny Guitar

Play it again, Johnny Guitar
Whether you go, whether you stay, I love you
What if you're cruel, you can be kind I know
There was never a man like my Johnny
Like the one they call Johnny Guitar

Nico Fidenco (nome artistico Domenico Colarossi; nato il 24 gennaio 1933 a Roma) è un cantante e compositore di colonne sonore di film italiano che ha ottenuto una notevole popolarità dal 1960 in poi con l'uscita della canzone "What a sky" (italiano: "Su nel cielo") , tratto dal film Silver Spoon Set di Francesco Maselli. Autodidatta in musica, Fidenco ha realizzato alcune cover delle canzoni dei titoli dei film per il mercato italiano. Con la canzone "Legata a un granello di sabbia", è stato il primo cantante italiano a vendere un milione di copie di un singolo. Questo interesse per il cinema lo ha portato ad essere un prolifico compositore di colonne sonore, incluse colonne sonore per western e molti film di Joe D'Amato.
Io non ti conoscevo ed era buia.
La vita passata lontano dal tuo amor.

Finché sulla mia strada t'ho incontrata,
e una luce infinita è entrata nel mio cuor.

Per una volta che ho udito la tua voce—
che ho stretto la tua mano, non so scordarti più.

Non te ne andare, lasciami il tuo sorriso—
lascia che questo giorno finisca accanto a te.

Il velo della notte lentamente si schiude—
le stelle si spengono lassù.
E nasce sulla terra un nuovo giorno
ma il sole non brilla se non ci sei più tu.

Non te ne andare, lasciami il tuo sorriso—
lascia che questo giorno finisca accanto a te.

Per una volta—
per una volta—
per una volta—
per una volta...

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 number-one albums, six Grammy Awards, and five American Music Awards, the Eagles were one of the most successful musical acts of the 1970s. Their albums Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975) and Hotel California rank first and third, respectively, among the best-selling albums in the United States, with 38million and 26million album units in sales. The Eagles are one of the world's best-selling bands, having sold more than 150million records, including 100 million sold in U.S alone. They were ranked nº 75 on Rolling Stone's 2004 list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.
Their debut album, Eagles (1972), spawned three top 40 singles: "Take It Easy", "Witchy Woman", and "Peaceful Easy Feeling". Desperado (1973) was less successful, only reaching number 41 on the charts; neither of its singles reached the top 40. However, its songs "Desperado" and "Tequila Sunrise" became two of the band's most popular tracks. On the Border (1974) added guitarist Don Felder and produced two top 40 singles: "Already Gone" and the Eagles' first number one, "Best of My Love".
Their 1975 album One of These Nights included three top 10 singles: "One of These Nights", "Lyin' Eyes", and "Take It to the Limit", the first hitting the top of the charts. Guitarist and vocalista Joe Walsh also joined the band in 1975, replacing Leadon. The Eagles continued that success and hit their commercial peak in late 1976 with the release of Hotel California, which would go on to sell more than 26 million copies in the U.S. alone and more than 42 million copies worldwide. The album yielded two number-one singles, "New Kid in Town" and "Hotel California". Meisner left the band in 1977 and was replaced by Timothy B. Schmit. They released their last studio album for nearly 28 years in 1979 with The Long Run, which spawned three top 10 singles: "Heartache Tonight", "The Long Run", and "I Can't Tell You Why", the lead single being another chart-topping hit.
The Eagles broke up in July 1980 but reunited in 1994 for the álbum Hell Freezes Over, a mix of live and new studio tracks. They toured consistently and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2007, the Eagles released Long Road Out of Eden, their first full studio album in 28 years and their sixth number-one album. The next year they launched the Long Road Out of Eden Tour in support of the album. In 2013, they began the extended History of the Eagles Tour in conjunction with the band's documentary release, History of the Eagles.
Following Glenn Frey's death in January 2016 and a one-year hiatus, the Eagles re-formed in 2017, with Deacon Frey and Vince Gill sharing lead vocals for Frey's songs.
"Life in the Fast Lane" is a song written by Joe Walsh, Glenn Frey and Don Henley and recorded by the American rock band the Eagles on their 1976 studio album Hotel California. It was the third single released from this album, and peaked at Nº. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100.
He was a hard-headed man
He was brutally handsome, and she was teminally pretty
She held him up, and he held her for ransome in the heart
of the cold, cold city
He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
They had one thing in common, they were
good in bed
She'd say, 'Faster,faster. The lights are turnin' red."
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind, mm
Are you with me so far?
Eager for action and bot for the game
The coming attraction, the drop of a name
They knew all the right people, they took
all the right pills
They threw outrageous parties, they paid heavily bills.
There were lines on the mirror, lines on her face
She pretended not to notice, she was caught up
in the race
Out every evening, until it was light
He was too tired to make it, she was too tired
to fight about it
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lse your mind
Life in the fast lane, everything all the time
Life in the fast lane, uh huh
Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign,
took a turn for the worst.
She said, "Listen, baby.You can hear the engine
ring.We've been up and down this highway;
haven't seen a goddam thing."
He said,"Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash."
"The doctor say he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash."
They went rushin' down that freeway, messed around
and got lost
They didn't know they were just dyin' to get off
And it was life in the fast lane
Life in the fast lane
