       Kansas is an American rock band that became popular in the 1970s initially on album-oriented rock charts and later with hit singles such as "Carry On Wayward Son" and "Dust in the Wind". The band has produced nine gold albums, three multi-platinum albums (Leftoverture 4×, Point of Know Return 4×, and The Best of Kansas 4×), one other platinum studio album (Monolith), one platinum live double album (Two for the Show), and a million-selling single, "Dust in the Wind". Kansas appeared on the Billboard charts for over 200 weeks throughout the 1970s and 1980s and played to sold-out arenas and stadiums throughout North America, Europe and Japan. "Carry On Wayward Son" was the second-most-played track on US classic rock radio in 1995 and No. 1 in 1997.

           Monolith is the sixth studio album by American progressive rock band Kansas, released in 1979 (see 1979 in music). The album was remastered and reissued in 2011, as a Japanese import vinyl-replica Blu-spec CD (Epic EICP 20078) including the rarity live version of "On the Other Side" previously available only on the 1994 Legacy-issued Box Set. A domestic version of the remaster was released in standard CD format in the US as part of Legacy Recordings' Classic Album Collection series which included all of their Kirshner/CBS studio releases. A Dutch-issued "Music on CD" series released the album on CD in 2016. It was last of the albums with the original lineup to be re-released on vinyl. Three different colored vinyl versions appeared in 2018 and 2019.

There are some who can still remembre

All the things that we used to do

But the days of our youth were numbered

And the ones who survive it are few

Oh, I can still see the smiling faces

When the times were so good

All in the old familiar places

I'd go back if I could (to the)

 

People of the south wind, people of the southern wind

It's the people of the wind, I got to be there again

 

Well, it's a hard thing to face the music:

But it's something everybody has got to do

So I hope that I can always remember

All the crazy times we had to go through

Now it's a dream that is slowly fading

And I don't want it to go

All of the memories are evading

And I want you to know (it's the)

 

People of the south wind, people of the southern wind

It's the people of the wind, I got to be there again

 

Now we've traveled all across the oceans

And we've seen what there is to see

But I guess it's not the proper solution

Cause it's all about the same to me

Now I look back and it makes me wonder

Why we just couldn't see

All of the battles we fought and won there

And I wish that I could be with the

 

People of the wind

I want to see 'em again

It's where we used to be free

And that's the place for me

It's just a state of my mind

A thing that's so hard to find.

A curiosidade de saber

O que me prende?

O que me paralisa?

Serão dois olhos

Negros como os teus

Que me farão cruzar a divisa

 

É como se eu fosse pra um Vietnã

Lutar por algo que não será meu

A curiosidade de saber

Quem é você?

 

Dois olhos negros

Dois olhos negros

 

Queria ter coragem de te falar

Mas qual seria o idioma?

Congelado em meu próprio frio

Um pobre coração em chamas

 

É como se eu fosse um colegial

Diante da equação

O quadro, o giz

A curiosidade do aprendiz

Diante de você

 

Dois olhos negros

Dois olhos negros

 

O ocultismo, o vampirismo

O voodoo

O ritual, a dança da chuva

A ponta do alfinete, o corpo nú

Os vários olhos da Medusa

 

É como se estivéssemos ali

Durante os séculos fazendo amor

É como se a vida terminasse ali

No fim do corredor

 

Dois olhos negros

Dois olhos negros

Dois olhos negros

Dois olhos negros

 

A curiosidade de saber

O que me prende?

O que me paralisa?

Serão dois olhos

Negros como os teus

Que me farão cruzar a divisa

 

É como se eu fosse pra um Vietnã

I LOVE EVERY LITTLE THING ABOUT YOU

SYREETA WRIGHT

Songwriter: STEVE WONDER

Country: U. S. A.

Album: SYREETA

Label: MOTOWN RECORDS

Genre: PROGRESSIVE SOUL

Year: 1972

 

        Syreeta is the debut studio album by American R&B and soul singer and songwriter Syreeta Wright, released on June 20, 1972, on MoWest, a subsidiary of Motown Records.

     The self-titled debut album was produced by Wright's ex-husband, frequent collaborator and musician Stevie Wonder; it was released following the former couple's separation and subsequent divorce. The album featured compositions by both Wonder and Wright, and also featured Wright's takes on other artists' songs. This included a Wonder-produced, funk-oriented version of his earlier recording, "I Love Every Little Thing About You", which was initially recorded by Wonder for his Music of My Mind project, released earlier that year.

      Wonder and Wright used the talk box prominently on Wright's cover of the Beatles' "She's Leaving Home" while Wright provided a smoother vocal take of Smokey Robinson's "What Love Has Joined Together." Wright wrote the ballad "Happiness" and she and Stevie co-wrote "Baby Don't You Let Me Lose This," and their featured duet "To Know You Is to Love You" together. The album failed to generate success, though Wright would go on to a productive solo career throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Wright and Wonder continued working together for several decades.

Verse 1}

Oh, they say you're not my friend

You've been through thick and thin

And for that, little boy, I love you

And all I want to do is talk about you

I'm here to say I love you more each day

And I just want to tell the world that I love you so, sugar

 

{Verse 2}

Though they put me down because

I love you as much as I do

But they don't know what you've done for me

You made such a happy girl out of me

I'm here to say I love you more each day, yeah

I just want to tell the world that I love you so

 

{Chorus}

Well I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

What you gonna do about that, brother?

Nothing

 

{Verse 3}

Oh, they say that I am wrong

'Cause my love is strong

There's only one that l place above you

I forever place God above anyone and even you

I'm here to say I love you more every day, yeah

I just want to tell the world that I love you so, baby

 

{Bridge}

Some might say it's strange (well, well, well) but my whole life you've changed

You saved all the pain the world's put on me

And all I want to do is talk about how happy I am

I'm here to say I love you more every day

I just want to tell the world that I love you so yeah

 

{Outro}

I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

Well I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

Thank God for your lovin'

I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

Thank God for your kissin'

I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

Thank God for your lovin'

I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every littte thing about you baby

Didn't know what I was missin'

I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

Thank God for your lovin'

I love, I love, I love, I love

I love every little thing about you baby

You're the one I love, everything about your love

Everything about your love I love

You're the one I love.

WARRANT

SONGWRITERS: E. TURNER; J. LANE; DIXON; J. CAGLE; S. CHAMBERLAIN & J

COUNTRY: U. S. A.

ALBUM: DIRTY ROTTEN FILTHY STINKING RICH

LABEL: COLUMBIA RECORDS

GENRE: GLAM METAL

YEAR: 1989

 

         Warrant is an American glam metal band formed in 1984 in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, that experienced success from 1988 to 1996 with five albums reaching international sales of over 10 million. The band first came into the national spotlight with their double platinum debut álbum Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich and one of its singles, "Heaven", which reached Nº 1 in Rolling Stone and Nº 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band's success continued in the early 1990s with the double platinum album Cherry Pie, which provided the hit song of the same name.

       Following the critically acclaimed gold álbum Dog Eat Dog the band started to experience frequent changes to the line-up and despite the drop in popularity with the arrival of grunge, they released Ultraphobic in 1995 and a successful greatest hits album in 1996. The band also changed their musical direction with the release of the grunge-influenced Belly to Belly in 1996, but returned to their roots very quickly by the end of the decade. The band experienced highs and lows in the 2000s with successful tours, a new covers álbum Under the Influence, lead singer Jani Lane leaving, a new album called Born Again with Black 'n Blue singer Jaime St. James and a brief reunion of the original line up. Into the new decade, Jani Lane died of alcohol poisoning. After over 30 years, the band is still recording music and performing, now with ex-Lynch Mob lead vocalist Robert Mason.

       Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich is the debut studio album by American glam metal band Warrant, released in 1989.

         The album was highly successful, spawning the hit singles "Heaven" (Nº 2, 1989), "Down Boys" (Nº 27, 1989) and "Sometimes She Cries" (Nº 20, 1990). The album peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200.

         The unique cover art features "Fugazi", known as "Cashly Guido Bucksley" in the "Big Talk" music video, an overpaid, amoral infrastructure manager and archetypal business psychopath.

          The first four words of the album's title ("Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinkin'...!") were mentioned in the intro to the title track of their 1990 follow-up album Cherry Pie.

I've got a picture of your house

And you're standing by the door.

It's black and white and faded,

And it's looking pretty worn.

See the factory that I worked

Silhouetted in the back.

The memories are gray but man they're really coming back.

 

I don't need to be the king of the world

As long as i'm the hero of this little girl

 

Heaven isn't too far away

Closer to it everyday

No matter what your friends might say

 

How I love the way you move

And the sparkle in your eyes

There's a color deep inside them

Like blue suburban skys

When i come home late at night

And you're in bed asleep

I wrap my arms around you

So I can feel you breathe

 

I dont need to be a superman

As long as you will always be my biggest fan

 

Heaven isn't too far away

Closer to it everyday (Ah, ah)

No matter what your friends might say

We'll find our way, yeah

 

Now the lights are going out,

Along the boulevard

Memories come rushing back and makes it pretty hard

I've got nowhere left to go

And no one really cares

I don't know what to do

But I'm never giving up on you.

 

Heaven isn't too far away

Closer to it every day

Ohhhh ohhh

No matter what your friends say

I know we're gonna find a way

Heaven

 

Whoah, oohh, ohhh

Whoah, oohh, ohhh

Heaven

 

It's not too far away

It's not too far away

It's not too far away

It's not too far away

It's not too far away.
