IN THE SUMMERTIME
MUNGO JERRY(BAND)
SONGWRITER: RAY DORSET
COUNTRY: UK
ALBUM: ELETRONICALLY TESTED
LABEL: DAWN
GENRE: SKIFFLE
YEAR: 1970

"In the Summertime" is the debut single by British rock band Mungo Jerry. Written and composed by its lead singer, Ray Dorset, it celebrates the carefree days of summer. In 1970 it reached number one in charts around the world, including seven weeks in the UK Singles Chart, two weeks in one of the Canadian charts, and number three on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the US. It became one of the best-selling singles of 1970 and eventually sold more than 30 million copies.
The song took Dorset only ten minutes to write and compose, which he did using a second-hand Fender Stratocaster while he was taking time off work from his regular job, working in a lab for Timex. The song's lyric "have a drink, have a drive, go out and see what you can find" led to the song's somewhat ironic use in a UK advert for the campaign Drinking and Driving Wrecks Lives.

In the summertime when the weather is hot
You can stretch right up and touch the sky

You got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find

If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal
If her daddy's poor just do what you feel
Speed along the lane
Do a ton or a ton an' twenty-five
When the sun goes down
You can make it, make it good in a lay-by

We're no threat, people
We're not dirty, we're not mean
We love everybody but we do as we please
When the weather's fine
We go fishin' or go swimmin' in the sea
We're always happy
Life's for livin' yeah, that's our philosophy

IN THE AIR TONIGHT
PHIL COLLINS
SONGWRITER: PHIL COLLINS
COUNTRY: UK
ALBUM: FACE VALUE
LABEL: VIRGIN
GENRE: SOFT ROCK
YEAR: 1981

In the Air Tonight é uma canção do cantor britânico Phil Collins, que foi lançada pela primeira vez em 1981 no seu álbum Face Value. Foi o primeiro single de Collins em carreira solo, e continua a ser um dos seus mais conhecidos hits.
Trata-se de uma música sombria e obscura, composta por Collins logo após o fim de seu primeiro casamento.
Há uma famosa lenda urbana envolvendo a canção. A lenda diz que Phil viu um homem observar o outro se afogando sem socorrÊ-lo e que era disso que a letra da música se tratava. Collins já negou diversas vezes a história.
O cantor Eminem citou essa lenda urbana na letra da música Stan:
Você conhece aquela música do Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight?"
Sobre aquele cara que podia ter salvo de se afogar?
Mas não fez isso. Aí Phil viu tudo, e num show ele o achou?
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord

Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend, but I don't know if you know who I am
Well I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord

Well I remember, I remember, don't worry, how could I ever forget
It's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, oh no you don't fool me
Well the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you and me

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord

I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord

Well I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord

COUNTRY: U S A
ALBUM: NOT TO LATE
LABEL: BLUE NOTE RECORDS
GENRE: COUNTRY ROCK
YEAR: 2007

Thinking About You" é o primeiro single de seu terceiro álbum de estúdio, Not Too Late (2007)
Jones escreveu: "Thinking About You", em 1999, com o seu então colega Ilhan Ersahin, da banda Wax Poetic, no qual ela participou. Ela gravou uma versão desta música para o seu segundo álbum, Feels Like Home (2004), mas de acordo com ela parecia "muito country rock". De acordo com o produtor, ela "encontrou uma maneira de fazê-lo funcionar" durante a gravação do Not Too Late.
Yesterday I saw the sun shinin',
And the leaves were fallin' down softly,
My cold hands needed a warm, warm touch,
And I was thinkin' about you.

Here I am lookin' for signs of leaving,
You hold my hand, but do you really need me?
I guess it's time for me to let you go,
And I've been thinkin' about you,
I've been thinkin' about you.

When you sail across the ocean waters,
And you reach the other side safely,
Could you smile a little smile for me?
'cause I'll be thinkin' about you,
I'll be thinkin' about you,
I'll be thinkin' about you,
I'll be thinkin' about you.
I’LL SEE YOU WHEN I GET THERE
LOU RAWLS
SONGWRITERS: Kenneth Gamble & leon Huff
COUNTRY: U S A
ALBUM: Unmistakably Lou
LABEL: PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL RECORDS
GENRE: R & B
YEAR: 1977

Unmistakably Lou is an album by American R&B singer Lou Rawls, released in 1977 on the Philadelphia International Records label. It was Rawls' second PIR album and performed respectably (#14 R&B and #41 pop), although its sales fell well short of his PIR debut All Things in Time. Only one single, "See You When I Git There", was released from the album in the US; alongside "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" and "Lady Love", it remains one of Rawls' best-known PIR songs. Like its predecessor, Unmistakably Lou is a well-regarded album for its mix of high-quality Philadelphia soul songs and other more jazz-influenced tracks (atypical and distinctive for a PIR production).




Pardon me, do you have change for a quarter?
I gotta make a phone call, thank you
Oh, I hope this woman don’t take me through no changes today
‘Cause I’ve had a hard day today, man, you know
Let me see what’s happenin’ at the address ‘fore I go home
                                                
How you doin’, I hope you’re fine
Did your day take you through changes and mess up your mind
I just called to say that I’m on my way
Whoa, and I’ll see you when I get there

I hope you’re in a good mood
You know a man’s home is his castle, and I’m comin’ home to groove
Whoa, and I’ll see you when I get there
I’ll see you when I get there

And you’ll be ready for good lovin’
You’ll be ready for good lovin’
‘Cause I’ve worked hard all day
Now I’m comin’ home to be with the one I love

Candlelight, cold wine, soft music on the radio
And you got everything you need from the store
‘Cause I’ll be in for the evening and I don’t wanna come out no more
Whoa, and I’ll see you when I get there
I’ll see you when I get there

And you’ll be ready for good lovin’
You’ll be ready for good lovin’
‘Cause I’ve worked hard all day
Now I’m comin’ home to lay and relax my mind

Whoa, I’ll see you when I get there
I’ll see you when I, see you when I get there, baby
[I’ll see you when I get there] I’ll see you when I get there

Whoa, I’ll see you when I get there
I’ll see you when I get there

And you’ll be ready for good lovin’
You’ll be ready for good lovin’
‘Cause I’ve worked hard all day
Now I’m comin’ home to lay and relax my mind

Whoa, I’ll see you when I get there
I said I’ll see you when I get there, baby
I said I’ll see you when I get there
I said I’ll see you when I get there, baby

I said I might have to run all the way
Because the bus might be slow today
I’ve been thinkin’ about you all day long
And I just can’t wait to get home

I’ll see you when I get there
I’ll see you when I get there, baby
[You’ll be ready] I’ve been workin’ hard all day, you’ve been on my mind
[You’ll be ready] I can’t go on without you, darling, by my side
[I’ll see you when I get there] I’ll see you when I get there
