      Rita Sahatçiu Ora(born Rita Sahatçiu; 26 November 1990) is a British singer, songwriter and actress. She rose to prominence in February 2012 when she featured on DJ Fresh's single, "Hot Right Now", which reached number one in the UK. Her debut studio album, Ora, released in August 2012, debuted at number one in the United Kingdom. The album contained the UK number-one singles, "R.I.P." and "How We Do (Party)". Ora was the artist with the most number-one singles on the UK Singles Chart in 2012, with three singles reaching the top position.
        Ora's second studio album, Phoenix, was released in November 2018. The lead single, "Your Song", reached the UK top ten, and the subsequent singles, "Anywhere" and "Let You Love Me", reached the top five in the UK. "Let You Love Me" made Ora the first British female solo artist to have thirteen top ten songs in the United Kingdom.
           "For You" is a song recorded by British singers Liam Payne and Rita Ora, for the soundtrack to the film Fifty Shades Freed(2018). It was released on 5 January 2018 through Universal Studios and Republic Records as the lead single from the soundtrack. The music video was released on 26 January 2018. The song was also included on Ora's second studio album, Phoenix(2018) and Payne's debut studio album, LP1(2019).
        "For You" reached the top ten in the United Kingdom, France, Norway, Switzerland, Austria, Portugal, Poland and Belgium, and peaked at number one in Germany.
       On 20 December 2017, both artists posted a promotional shot on social media of themselves standing together, dressed up to the nines, along with the hashtag "#FiftyShadesFreed". The picture started speculation on a possible collaboration between the two for the upcoming film Fifty Shades Freed, in which Ora appears. A day after, the pair released the first teaser of the song on social media. On 3 January 2018, they revealed the song's release date and released the second teaser, a video showing the studio session in which they recorded the song.

In your eyes, I'm alive
Inside, you're beautiful
Something so unusual
In your eyes
I know I'm home (Yeah)
 
Every tear, every fear
Gone with the thought of you
Changing what I thought I knew
I'll be yours for a thousand lives (Yeah)
 
I'm free as a bird
When I'm flying in your cage
I'm diving in deep
And I'm riding with no brakes
And I'm bleeding in love
You're swimming in my veins
You got me now
 
Been waiting for a lifetime for you
Been breaking for a lifetime for you
Wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na ayy yes
For love, 'til I found you (Oh, yeah)
 
Skin to skin
Breathe me in
Feel with your kiss on me
Lips are made of ecstasy
I'll be yours for a thousand lives
For a thousand lives
 
I'm free as a bird
When I'm flying in your cage (So gone)
I'm diving in deep
And I'm riding with no brakes (Oh no)
And I'm bleeding in love
You're swimming in my veins
You've got me now
 
Been waiting for a lifetime for you
Been breaking for a lifetime for you
Wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na ayy yes
For love, 'til I found you, oh
 
Been waiting for a lifetime for you
Been breaking for a lifetime for you
I wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na ayy yes
For love, 'til I found you (Oh)
Oh oh oh, yeah
I wa-wa-wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh Oh yeah
 
I'm free as a bird
When I'm flying in your cage
I'm diving in deep
And I'm riding with no brakes
I'm bleeding in love
You're swimming in my veins
You've got me now
 
Been waiting for a lifetime for you
Been breaking for a lifetime for you
I wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na ayy yes
For love, 'til I found you, oh
 
You know that I-I-I
I wasn't looking for love
I don't know
I wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na ayy yes
For love, 'til I found you, oh, oh, oh, oh
 
I wa-wa-wasn't looking for love 'til I found you
Ooh na-na ayy yes
For love, 'til I found you, oh.

Every day I drive to work across Flint River bridge
A hundred yards from the spot where me and grandpa
Fished
There's a piece of his old fruit stand on the side of
Sawmill Road
He'd be there peelin' peaches if it was twenty years ago
 
And what I wouldn't give
To ride around in that old truck with him
If heaven wasn't so far away
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
Introduce them to their grandpa
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
 
I'd find my long lost cousin John
The one we left back in Vietnam
Show him a picture of his daughter now
She's a doctor and he'd be proud
 
Then tell him we'd be back in a couple of days
In the rear view mirror we'd all watch 'em wave
Yeah, and losing them wouldn't be so hard to take
If heaven wasn't so far away
I'd hug all three of those girls we lost from the class of '99
 
And I'd find my bird dog Bo
And take him huntin' one more time
I'd ask Hank why he took those pills back in '53
And Janis to sing the second verse of "Me and Bobby McGee"
Sit on a cloud and visit for a while
It'd do me good just to see them smile
 
If heaven wasn't so far away
I'd pack up the kids and go for the day
Introduce them to their grandpa
Watch 'em laugh at the way he talks
 
I'd find my long lost cousin John
The one we left back in Vietnam
Show him a picture of his daughter now
She's a doctor and he'd be proud
 
Then tell him we'd be back in a couple of days
In the rear view mirror we'd all watch 'em wave
Yeah, and losing them wouldn't be so hard to take
If heaven wasn't so far
If heaven wasn't so far
If heaven wasn't so far away
So far away
So far away.

          Natalie Nicole Hemby Wrucke(born March 24, 1977) is an American country music songwriter and singer. She has written songs for Lee Ann Womack, Eli Young Band, Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert, Sunny Sweeney, Little Big Town, Jon Pardi, Kacey Musgraves, and Lady Gaga. In 2019, she joined the quartet The Highwomen alongside Brandi Carlile, Amanda Shires and Maren Morris.
             Puxico is the debut studio album by American singer and songwriter Natalie Hemby, released on January 13, 2017, through her own label, GetWrucke Productions. Hemby started recording the album around the same time she created a documentary about her hometown Puxico in 2010.
          Will Hermes from Rolling Stone stated about the album "It's a nostalgic LP, musically and thematically, about the value of roots – surprising, maybe, from a woman behind songs like Lambert's 'Pink Sunglasses' and 'Getaway Driver', which broaden country's palette. But Hemby's a master craftswoman, and in an era of rule-by-Twitter, songs like 'Grand Restoration' and 'Time Honored Tradition' make a case for traditionalism being its own kind of progressivism."

I probably won't recall graduation day
Or the neighbors up the street in the town where I was raised
The Fox and Jacob houses all dressed up like young cadets, I will forget
 
It'll steal my memory who was president that year
Like bells in a drug store door, somethings just disappear
When I'm sure that I knew exactly how the story went
I will forget
 
Cause when you're details turn to dust
And the words get worn and frayed
And the past is trapped in photographs
'til I'll last days
 
I'll remember how you
I'll remember how you
I'll remember how you loved me
 
Funny how time erases memories over time
But the feeling lingers round in the walls of your mind
Like a secret that I keep in a box under the bed
No I won't forget
 
Cause when the details turn to dust
And the words get worn and frayed
And the past is trapped in photographs
'Til our last days
 
I'll remember how you
I'll remember how you
I'll remember how you loved me
 
I'll remember how you
I'll remember how you
I'll remember how you loved
 
Oh, I'll remember how you
I'll remember how you
I'll remember how you loved me
I'll remember how you loved me.

TEARS AND SOUVENIRS

GENRE: SOUL
YEAR: 1975
 
          The Stylistics are an American, Philadelphia soul group that achieved their greatest chart success in the 1970s. They formed in 1968, with a lineup of singers Russell Thompkins Jr., Herb Murrell, Airrion Love, James Smith and James Dunn. All of their US hits were ballads characterized by the falsetto of Russell Thompkins Jr. and the production of Thom Bell. During the early 1970s, the group had twelve consecutive R&B top ten hits, including "Stop, Look, Listen", "You Are Everything", "Betcha by Golly, Wow", "I'm Stone in Love with You", "Break Up to Make Up" and "You Make Me Feel Brand New", which earned them 5 gold singles and 3 gold albums.
    The Stylistics were created from two Philadelphia groups, The Percussions and The Monarchs. Russell Thompkins Jr., James Smith and Airrion Love came from the Monarchs, and James Dunn and Herb Murrell came from the Percussions. In 1970, the group recorded "You're a Big Girl Now", a song their road manager Marty Bryant co-wrote with Robert Douglas, a member of their backing band Slim and the Boys, and the single became a regional hit for Sebring Records. Producer Bill Perry spent $400 to record the song in the Virtue Studios in Philadelphia. The larger Avco Records soon signed the Stylistics, and the single eventually climbed to No. 7 on the US Billboard R&B chart in early 1971. 
The day she said goodbye
the day she said goodbye
she left me with tears
tears and souvenirs
tears and souvenirs
tears and souvenir
hello faded valentine
do you remember me
how will I know
your words of yesterday
valentine what's new today
 
hello happy photograph
I still remember you
that funny face
that change my life somehow
photograph where is she now...
 
the day she said goodbye
the day she said goodbye
the day she said goodbye
she left me with tears
tears and souvenir
 
little painted clown
lies that meants so much
we've been out of touch
and you were born of
deck of cards
you knew very well
I've been left alone
playing solitaire...
 
hello silent souvenirs
forgive me if I should cry
but no one knows.
as well as you my friends
this life of mine
came to an end
the day she said goodbye
the day she said goodbye
and left me with tears
tears and souvenirs
tears and souvenirs
 
the day she said goodbye
tears and souvenirs
the day she said goodbye
tears and souvenirs.
