             NÃO CONSEGUI INFORMAÇÕES SOBRE ESTA MÚSICA, APESAR DE TODO O ESFORÇO ENVIDADO NESSE SENTIDO.

Sound like a very sad love song,

Sound like a really sad love song,

Sound like a very sad love song,

Or is it just me?…

 

Everything i own in the black bag,

I promise i’ll be gone by the time it hits dinner,

My momma told me we wasn’t gonna last,

I tried to hold on ’cause i never been a quitter…

 

I can’t hold on,

No anymore without my hand,

’Cause you and i both know you didn’t stick to the plan,

So…

 

I’ve gotta let go,

I’m not holding on anymore,

’Cause baby,

It doesn’t feel right,

Something ain’t right,

You never act right, so,

I’ve gotta let go,

I can’t hold on anymore…

 

Although you did me wrong, i’m not sad,

I learn from my mistakes so it makes me a winner,

Want me back home baby,

My bad,

When it comes back around,

Oh, it really is a killer…

 

I can’t hold on,

No anymore without my hand,

’Cause you and i both know you didn’t stick to the plan,

So…

 

I’ve gotta let go,

I’m not holding on anymore,

’Cause baby,

It doesn’t feel right,

Something ain’t right,

You never act right, so,

I’ve gotta let go,

I can’t hold on anymore…

 

I’m going to,

Have to apologize,

I’m going to have to let you fall down,

You took me for granted,

No more can i stand it,

It’s been too many times,

Way too many times for me…

 

I’ve gotta let go,

I’m not holding on anymore,

’Cause baby,

It doesn’t feel right,

Something ain’t right,

You never act right, so,

I’ve gotta let go,

I can’t hold on anymore…

BOSWELL SISTERS

GENRE: JAZZ

YEAR: 1931

 

            The Boswell Sisters were an American close harmony singing trio of the jazz and swing eras, consisting of three sisters: Martha Boswell (June 9, 1905 – July 2, 1958), Connee Boswell (original name Connie, December 3, 1907 – October 11, 1976), and Helvetia "Vet" Boswell (May 20, 1911 – November 12, 1988). Hailing from uptown New Orleans, the group was noted for their intricate harmonies and rhythmic experimentation. They attained national prominence in the United States in the 1930s during the twilight years of the Jazz Age and the onset of the Great Depression.

         When the trio formally split in 1936, Connie continued as a solo vocalist in radio, film, and later television for an additional quarter of a century. The trio's "unique singing style and ground-breaking arrangements fused 'blackness' and 'whiteness' in music," and their collaborations with "the preeminent white swing musicians of their day—the Dorsey Brothers, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw—had a profound effect on the development of the big band sound in the 1930s." When assessing their legacy, scholars claim the Boswell Sisters "made 'real' jazz commercially viable, destigmatizing the music and opening its appreciation to the wider American public."

I'm just a little "Jackie Horner"
Since I met my sugar cane.
That gang of mine has been revealin'
That they're feelin' sore.
I left the lamp light on the corner,
For the moon in lover's lane.
I'm doing things I never did before.
 
When I take my sugar to tea, all the
Boys are jealous of me, 'cause I
Never take her where the gang goes,
When I take my sugar to tea.
 
I'm a rowdy dowdy, that's me,
She's a high hat baby, that's she,
So I never take her where the gang goes,
When I take my sugar to tea.
 
Ev'ry Sunday afternoon,
We forget about our cares,
Rubbing elbows at the Ritz,
With those millionaires.
 
When I take my sugar to tea,
I'm as Ritzy as can be,
'Cause I never take her where the gang goes,
When I take my sugar to tea.

            Bread was an American soft rock band from Los Angeles, California. They had 13 songs chart on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1970 and 1977.

The band was fronted by David Gates (vocals, bass guitar, guitar, keyboards, violin, viola, percussion), with Jimmy Griffin (vocals, guitar, keyboards, percussion) and Robb Royer (bass guitar, guitar, flute, keyboards, percussion, recorder, backing vocals). On their first album session musicians Ron Edgar played drums and Jim Gordon played drums, percussion, and piano. Mike Botts became their permanent drummer when he joined in the summer of 1969, and Larry Knechtel replaced Royer in 1971, playing keyboards, bass guitar, guitar, and harmonica.

          "Aubrey" is a song written and composed by David Gates, and originally recorded by the soft rock group Bread, of which Gates was the leader and primary music producer. It appeared on Bread's 1972 album Guitar Man. The single lasted 11 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 15. In Canada the song reached only number 41 on the pop singles chart, but reached number 6 on the adult contemporary chart. In New Zealand, "Aubrey" reached number 8.

            David Gates wrote the song after watching Breakfast at Tiffany's starring Audrey Hepburn. Actress Aubrey Plaza is named after the song.

            "Aubrey" was later recorded by Perry Como and included on his 1973 album And I Love You So. A soul-jazz interpretation of the main melody by saxophonist Grover Washington Jr. was sampled on the 1998 song "Step to My Girl" by Oakland-based hip-hop group Souls of Mischief. This version provided inspiration in turn for the song "Step" by American indie rock band Vampire Weekend. 

And Aubrey was her name,

A not so very ordinary girl or name.

But who's to blame?

For a love that wouldn't bloom

For the hearts that never played in tune.

Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing,

Take away the words that rhyme it doesn't mean a thing.

 

And Aubrey was her name.

We triped the light and danced together to the moon,

But where was June.

No it never came around.

If it did it never made a sound,

Maybe I was absent or was listening too fast,

Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past,

 

But God I miss the girl,

And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be

Closer to her than to me.

 

And Aubrey was her name,

I never knew her, but I loved her just the same,

I loved her name.

Wish that I had found the way

And the reasons that would make her stay.

I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest.

If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best.

 

But how I miss the girl

And I'd go a million times around the world just to say

She had been mine for a day.

          Rita Coolidge (born May 1, 1945) is an American recording artist. During the 1970s and 1980s, her songs were on Billboard magazine's pop, country, adult contemporary, and jazz charts, and she won two Grammy Awards with fellow musician and then-husband Kris Kristofferson. Her recordings include "(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher," "We're All Alone", "I'd Rather Leave While I'm in Love" and the theme song for the 1983 James Bond film Octopussy: "All Time High".

              Kristoffer Kristofferson (born June 22, 1936) is an American singer-songwriter and actor. Among his songwriting credits are the songs "Me and Bobby McGee", "For the Good Times", "Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down", and "Help Me Make It Through the Night", all of which were hits for other artists. Kristofferson composed his own songs and collaborated with Nashville songwriters such as Shel Silverstein.

         In 1985, Kristofferson joined fellow country artists Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash in forming the country music supergroup the Highwaymen, and formed a key creative force in the outlaw country music movement that eschewed the Nashville music machine in favor of independent songwriting and producing. In 2004, Kristofferson was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. As an actor, he is known for his roles in Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid (1973), Blume in Love (1973), Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974), A Star Is Born (1976) (which earned him a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor), Convoy (1978), Heaven's Gate (1980), Lone Star (1996), Stagecoach (1986), and Blade (1998).

             "Loving Arms" is a song written by Tom Jans and first recorded and released by Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge as a duet in 1973 on their album Full Moon.

           It was covered by Dobie Gray shortly after, and then by a number of artists the following year including Elvis Presley, Petula Clark and Jody Miller. Millie Jackson and Olivia Newton-John also covered the song in 1975.

If you could see me now

The one who said that he'd rather roam

The one who said he'd rather be alone

If you could only see me now

 

If I could hold you now

Just for a moment

If I could make you mine

Just for a while

Turn back the hands of time

If I could only hold you now

 

(CHORUS)

I've been too long in the wind

Too long in the rain

Taking any comfort that I can

Looking back and longing

For the freedom of my chains

Lying in your loving arms again

 

If you could hear me now

Singing somewhere

Through a lonely night

Dreaming of the arms

That held me tight

If you could only hear me now

(CHORUS)
