Mulher Rendeira, também conhecida como Mulé Rendeira ou Muié Rendeira (regionalismo), é uma canção brasileira de xaxado.
Segundo a versão mais conhecida, do Padre Frederico Bezerra Maciel, regionalista pernambucano e biógrafo de Virgulino Ferreira da Silva, o Lampião, o afamado cangaceiro teria escrito os versos da versão original da canção. A ele se acrescenta Câmara Cascudo, segundo o qual Lampião teria escrito a letra em homenagem ao aniversário de sua avó Dona Maria Jocosa Vieria Lopes ("Tia Jacosa") em 15 de setembro, que era uma rendeira. Compôs a canção entre setembro de 1921 e fevereiro de 1922, quando a apresentou em Floresta (Pernambuco). A canção tornou-se praticamente um hino de guerra dos cangaceiros do bando de Lampião, tendo inclusive relatos de que o seu ataque à Mossoró em 1927 teria sido feito com mais de 50 cangageiros cantando "Mulher Rendeira".
Está registrada no ECAD como de autoria de Alfredo Ricardo do Nascimento (Zé do Norte).
A canção se tornou internacionalmente famosa após a versão adaptada por Zé do Norte e cantada por Vanja Orico para o filme O Cangaceiro (1953), que além de ganhar o prêmio de "Melhor Filme de Aventura" no Festival de Cannes, também recebeu menção especial do júri pela trilha sonora.
Foi gravada em 1957 por "Volta Seca", um ex-membro do bando de Lampião, no álbum "Cantigas de Lampião" pela Todamerica.. Além destes, foi interpretada por vários cantores brasileiros, como Luiz Gonzaga, Elba Ramalho, Chico César, Demônios da Garoa e outros.
Foi traduzida para o inglês, a versão mais famosa é de 1962 por The Shadows no álbum "Out of the Shadows", com o nome "Bandit" e escrita por Michael Carr, Milton Nascimento e Zeb Turner. Há também versões de Tex Ritter, Frank Weir, Chaquito and the Quedo Brass, a cantora folk Joan Baez, a banda psicodélica "The Eight Day". Há também uma versão peruana "Mujer Hilandera" de Juaneco y su Combo. No total, são mais de 120 versões da canção em 7 línguas, e 14 países. Muitas não são traduções exatas mas mudam a letra mantendo a sonoridade.
Olê muié rendera
Olê muié renda
Tu me ensina a fazê renda
Que eu te ensino a namorá

Lampião desceu a serra
Deu um baile em Cajazeira
Botou as moças donzelas
Pra cantá muié rendera

As moças de Vila Bela
Não têm mais ocupação
Se que fica na janela
Namorando Lampião.
TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME
SUPERTRAMP
SONGWRITERS: RICK DAVIES & ROGER HODGSON
COUNTRY: U. S. A.
ALBUM: BREAKFAST IN AMERICA
LABEL: A&M
GENRE: CLASSIC ROCK
YEAR: 1979

Supertramp were a British rock band formed in London in 1969. Marked by the individual songwriting of founders Roger Hodgson (vocals, keyboards, guitar) and Rick Davies (vocals, keyboards), they are distinguished for blending progressive rock and pop styles and for their use of Wurlitzer electric piano and saxophone. The group's line-up changed numerous times throughout their career, with Davies the only consistent member. Other longtime members included bassist Dougie Thomson, drummer Bob Siebenberg, and saxophonist John Helliwell.
The band were initially a full-fledged prog-rock group, but starting with their third álbum Crime of the Century (1974), they maintained a more pop-oriented sound. They reached their commercial peak with 1979's Breakfast in America, which yielded the international top 10 singles "The Logical Song", "Breakfast in America", "Goodbye Stranger" and "Take the Long Way Home". Their other top 40 hits included "Dreamer" (1974), "Give a Little Bit" (1977) and "It's Raining Again" (1982).
As of 2007, Supertramp album sales exceeded 60 million. They attained significant popularity in North America, Europe, South Africa and Australia. Their highest sales levels were in Canada, where they had two diamond-certified (ten-times platinum) albums (Crime of the Century and Breakfast in America). In 1983, Hodgson left the group to pursue a solo career. Davies took over as the band's sole leader until 1988, after which they disbanded and periodically reformed in various configurations.
"Take the Long Way Home" is the fourth single and sixth track of Supertramp's 1979 album Breakfast in America. It was the last song written for the album, being penned during the nine-month recording cycle. According to its composer Roger Hodgson, the song deals with how the desire to go home can go both ways:
I'm talking about not wanting to go home to the wife, take the long way home to the wife because she treats you like part of the furniture, but there's a deeper level to the song, too. I really believe we all want to find our home, find that place in us where we feel at home, and to me, home is in the heart and that is really, when we are in touch with our heart and we're living our life from our heart, then we do feel like we found our home."
Billboard Magazine contributor David Farrell praised the "convincing melody with a crafty hook" although he felt the music contrasted with the "pessimistic lyric about man's loss of identity in an increasingly complex world."
The single reached number 10 on the U.S. charts.
So you think you're a Romeo
Playing a part in a picture-show
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

Cos you're the joke of the neighborhood
Why should you care if you're feeling good
Take the long way home
Take the long way home

But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery
All the greenery is comin' down, boy
And then your wife seems to think you're part of the furniture
Oh, it's peculiar, she used to be so nice

When lonely days turn to lonely nights
You take a trip to the city lights
And take the long way home
Take the long way home

You never see what you want to see
Forever playing to the gallery
You take the long way home
Take the long way home

And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable
Unforgettable, how they adore you
But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity
Oh, calamity, is there no way out?

Althought you feel that you life's become a catástrofe
Oh, it has to be for you to grow, boy
When you look through the years and see what you could have been
Oh, what you might have been
If you'd had more time

So, when the day comes to settle down
Who's to blame if you're not around?
You took the long way home
You took the long way home.

The Alan Parsons Project were a British rock band active between 1975 and 1990, whose core membership consisted of Alan Parsons and Eric Woolfson. They were accompanied by a varying number of session musicians and some relatively consistent session players such as guitarist Ian Bairnson, arranger Andrew Powell, bassist and vocalist David Paton, drummer Stuart Elliott, and vocalists Lenny Zakatek and Chris Rainbow. Parsons was an audio engineer and producer by profession, but also a musician and a composer. A songwriter by profession, Woolfson was also a composer, a pianist, and a singer. Almost all the songs on the Project's albums are credited to "Woolfson/Parsons".
The Alan Parsons Project released eleven studio albums in its 15-year career (the twelfth, The Sicilian Defence, was originally recorded in 1979 and released in 2014), including the successful I Robot and Eye in the Sky. Some of their most notable songs are "The Raven", "(The System of) Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether", "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You", "Games People Play", "Time", "Snake Eyes", "Sirius"/"Eye in the Sky", "Old and Wise", and "Don't Answer Me".
I Robot is the second studio album by British rock band The Alan Parsons Project, released on 1 June 1977 by Arista Records.

It was re-released on vinyl and cassette tape in 1984 and on CD in 2007.
If it´s getting harder to face everyday
Don´t let it show , Don´t let it show
Though it´s getting harder to take what they say
Just let it go , Just let it go

And if it hurts when they mention my name
Say you don´t know me
And if it helps when they say I´m to blame
Say you don´t own me

Even if it´s taking the easy way out
Keep it inside of you
Don´t give in
Don´t tell them anything
Don´t let it
Don´t let it show

Even though you know it´s the wrong thing to say
Say you don´t care , Say you don´t care
Even if you want to believe there´s a way
I won´t be there , I won´t be there

But if you smile , when they mention my name
They´ll never know you
And if you laugh when they say I´m to blame
They´ll never own you

Even if you feel you´ve got nothing to hide
Keep it inside of you
Don´t give in
Don´t tell them anything
Don´t let it
Don´t let it show.
STAND BY ME
JOHN LENNON
SONGWRITERS: BEN E. KING; JERRY LEIBER & MIKE STOLLER
COUNTRY: U. K.
ALBUM: ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
LABEL: APPLE RECORDS
GENRE: ROCK AND ROLL
YEAR: 1975

John Lennon recorded his version of the song for his 1975 album Rock 'n' Roll. Lennon's remake became a single three weeks after the album's release and was his last hit prior to his five-year retirement from the music industry. Lennon filmed a performance of the song for The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1975.
On the week of May 3, 1975, this version was in its second of two weeks at the peak position #20 on the US Hot 100, right in front of King's comeback hit "Supernatural Thing - Part I" at #21. Both tunes fell off the top 40 the next week and off the chart the week after that. Lennon's version stayed on top 100 of the UK Singles Chart for seven weeks, peaking at number 30 on its fourth week on the week of May 18–24, 1975. It peaked at number 13 on Canada's RPM Top Singles chart on the week ending May 3, 1975 and stayed on the peak position the following week. It peaked at number 11 on the Official New Zealand Music Chart on the week of July 14, 1975.
The single's B-side track is "Move Over Ms. L", initially intended for Lennon's previous álbum Walls and Bridges but was cut from the final lineup due to his dissatisfaction with his early takes. Keith Moon covered "Move Over Ms. L" for his 1975 solo album Two Sides of the Moon.
Before the parent album's official release, during Lennon's March 1974 sessions with Harry Nilsson for Nilsson's album Pussy Cats, Lennon recorded two takes of the song in collaboration with former Beatles member Paul McCartney. McCartney performed on the drums; Lennon on guitar. The unreleased recordings would eventually be included in a bootleg álbum A Toot and a Snore in '74.
Billboard regarded Lennon's version as "the best version since the original." Pitchfork writer Marc Hogan found Lennon's version "more affecting (just barely)" than the original due to the "acoustic guitar and Lennon's fervent vocals". A 2007 book The Words and Music of John Lennon by Ben Urish and Ken Bielen called Lennon's version one of the "stronger" tracks of the album. Journalist and book author Robert Webb in 2013 called this version one of the "greatest cover versions"
"Stand by Me" is a song originally performed in 1961 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, featuring King along with actors River Phoenix and Wil Wheaton, was released to promote the film. In 2012 it was estimated that the song's royalties had topped $22.8 million (£17 million), making it the sixth highest-earning song as of its era. 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.
The song has been recorded by various artists, like John Lennon, Cassius Clay (later Muhammad Ali), 4 the Cause, Tracy Chapman, musicians of the Playing for Change project, Florence and the Machine, and the Kingdom Choir. A-League club Melbourne Victory FC play this song before home matches, while fans raise their scarves above their heads and sing the lyrics.
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
And, darling, darling stand by me, oh now now
Stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And 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

And, darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah
Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me?
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
Darlin', darlin', stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me.
