          Scorpions are a German rock band formed in 1965 in Hanover by Rudolf Schenker. Since the band's inception, its musical style has ranged from hard rock, heavy metal, and glam metal. The lineup from 1978 to 1992 was the most successful incarnation of the group, and included Klaus Meine(vocals), Rudolf Schenker (rhythm guitar), Matthias Jabs (lead guitar), Francis Buchholz (bass), and Herman Rarebell (drums). The band's only continuous member has been Schenker, although Meine has appeared on all of Scorpions' studio albums, while Jabs has been a consistent member since 1978, and bassist Paweł Mąciwoda and drummer Mikkey Dee have been in the band since 2003 and 2016 respectively.

            During the mid-1970s, with guitarist Uli Jon Roth part of the line-up, the music of the Scorpions was defined as hard rock. After the departure of Roth in 1978 and short-lived reunion with Schenker's brother Michael, Matthias Jabs joined and, following the guidance of producer Dieter Dierks, the Scorpions changed their sound towards hard rock/heavy metal, mixed with rock power ballads. Throughout the 1980s the group received positive reviews and critical acclaim from music critics, and experienced commercial success with the albums Animal Magnetism(1980), Blackout(1982), Love at First Sting(1984), the live recording World Wide Live(1985), Savage Amusement (1988) and Best of Rockers 'n' Ballads(1989), which is their best-selling compilation album.

               Still Loving You is a compilation album by the German hard rock band Scorpions.

        "Still Loving You" is a power ballad by the German heavy metal band Scorpions. It was released in July 1984 as the second single from their ninth studio album, Love at First Sting(1984). The song reached number 64 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Time

It needs time

To win back your love again

I will be there

I will be there

 

Love

Only love

Can bring back your love someday

I will be there

I will be there

 

Fight

Babe, I'll fight

To win back your love again

I will be there

I will be there

 

Love

Only love

Can bring down the wall someday

I will be there

I will be there

 

If we'd go again

All the way from the start

I would try to change

The things that killed our love

Pride has built a wall, so strong

That I can't get through

Is there really no chance

To start once again?

I'm loving you

 

Try

Baby, try

To trust in my love again

I will be there

I will be there

 

Love

Our love

Just shouldn't be thrown away

I will be there

I will be there

 

If we'd go again

All the way from the start

I would try to change

The things that killed our love

Pride has built a wall, so strong

That I can't get through

Is there really no chance

To start once again?

 

If we'd go again

All the way from the start

I would try to change

The things that killed our love

Yes, I've hurt your pride and I know

What you've been through

You should give me a chance

This can't be the end

 

I'm still loving you

I'm still loving you

I'm still loving you

I need your love

I'm still loving you

Still loving you, baby

 

I'm still loving you

I need your love

I'm still loving you

I need your love

 

Hoo!

I'm still loving you

I need your love

 

Hoo!

I need your love.

YOU CAN’T TAKE ME

You can't take me, yeah!

Got to fight another fight - I gotta run another night

Get it out - check it out

I'm on my way and I don't feel right

I gotta get me back - I can't be beat and that's a fact

It's OK - I'll find a way

You ain't gonna take me down no way

Don't judge a thing until you know what's inside it

Dont' push me - I'll fight it

Never gonna give in - never gonna give it up no

 

If you can't catch a wave then your'e never gonna ride

You can't come uninvited

Never gonna give in - never gonna give it up no

You can't take me I'm free

Why did it all go wrong? - I wanna know what's going on

And what's this holding me?

I'm not where I supposed to be

I gotta fight another fight

I gotta fight will all my might

I'm getting out, so check it out

Ya, you're in my way

So you better watch out

Don't judge a thing until you know what's inside it

Dont' push me - I'll fight it

Never gonna give in - never gonna give it up no

If you can't catch a wave then your'e never gonna ride

 There are times when I don't know where I stand (Woah, sometimes)

You make me feel like I'm a boy and not a man (Woah, sometimes)

There are times when you don't give me a smile (Woah, sometimes)

I'll lie awake at night and worry for a while (Woah, woah)

 

It's ok, 'cause I know

You shine even on a rainy day and

I can find your halo

Guides me to wherever you fall

 

If you need a hand to hold

I'll come running, because

You and I won't part till we die

You should know

 

We see eye to eye, heart to heart

There are times when I cry, 'cause you she'd no tears (Woah, sometimes)

You mind's so far away, but your body's right here (Woah, sometimes)

There are times when I just walked out your door (Woah, sometimes)

And thought I'd never get to see you anymore (Woah, woah)

 

It's ok, 'cause I know

You shine even on a rainy day and

I can find your halo

Guides me to wherever you fall

 

If you need a hand to hold

I'll come running, because

You and I won't part till we die

You should know

 

We see eye to eye, heart to heart

Oh, oh, woah, sometimes

Oh, oh, wherever you fall

 

If you need a hand to hold

I'll come running, because

You and I won't part till we die

You should know

 

We see eye to eye, heart to heart

I can find your halo

Guides me to wherever you fall.

GENRE: FOLK ROCK

YEAR: 1991

 

           James Vernon Taylor(born March 12, 1948) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. A six-time Grammy Award winner, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 100 million records worldwide.

             Taylor achieved his breakthrough in 1970 with the No. 3 single "Fire and Rain" and had his first Nº 1 hit in 1971 with his recording of "You've Got a Friend", written by Carole King in the same year. His 1976 Greatest Hits album was certified Diamond and has sold 12 million US copies. Following his 1977 album JT, he has retained a large audience over the decades. Every album that he released from 1977 to 2007 sold over 1 million copies. He enjoyed a resurgence in chart performance during the late 1990s and 2000s, when he recorded some of his most-awarded work (including Hourglass, October Road, and Covers). He achieved his first number-one album in the US in 2015 with his recording Before This World.

          Taylor is known for his covers, such as "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)" and "Handy Man", as well as originals such as "Sweet Baby James". He was the leading role in Monte Hellman's 1971 film Two-Lane Blacktop.

        New Moon Shine is singer-songwriter James Taylor's 13th studio album, which was certified platinum. Released September 24, 1991, the album peaked the following month at number 37 on the Billboard 200 albums list. The album received generally good reviews; the New York Times's Stephen Holden observed that New Moon Shine "finds [Taylor] near the top of his form in songs like 'Slap Leather,' a playfully pungent rock-and-roll critique of social and environmental ills, and 'Copperline,' a nostalgic ballad remembering his North Carolina roots." The album was producer/pianist Don Grolnick's sixth and final studio album with Taylor prior to his death in 1996 at age 48 from Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Last thing I remember is the freezing cold

Water reaching up just to swallow me whole

Ice in the rigging and howling wind

Shock to my body as we tumbled in

 

Then my brothers and the others are lost at sea

I alone am returned to tell thee

Hidden in ice for a century

To walk the world again

Lord, have mercy on the frozen man

 

Next words that were spoken to me

Nurse asked me what my name might be

She was all in white at the foot of my bed

I said, "Angel of mercy, I'm alive or am I dead?"

 

My name is William James McPhee

I was born in 1843

Raised in Liverpool by the sea

But that ain't who I am

Lord have mercy on the frozen man

 

It took a lot of money to start my heart

To peg my leg and to buy my eye

The newspapers call me State of the art

And the children, when they see me, cry

I thought it'd be nice just to visit my grave

See what kind of tombstone I might have

 

I saw my wife and my daughter and it seemed so strange

Both of them dead and gone from extreme old age

See here, when I die make sure I'm gone

Don't leave 'em nothing to work on

You can raise your arm, you can wiggle your hand

And you can wave goodbye to the frozen man

 

I know what it means to freeze to death

To lose a little life with every breath

To say goodbye to life on earth

To come around again

 

Lord have mercy on the frozen man

Lord have mercy on the frozen man.
