Lyrics

Waiter send this to the table, the party of one
The only other lonely soul in this place
And so you’re finishing up your coffee
But then where you’re gonna run?
Where’d you get that look on your face?

You should always let the sun go down on your anger
Let it burn you to sleep
Bring it closer to danger
To surrender and retreat
Sing your sad soul to sleep

I loved you the first time I saw you
And you know I love you still
But I am tired
And I am yours

Don’t even think about your freedom
Or taking that flight
Or going back upon your promise after fighting for the right
Because your eggshells and your right statements
And your weaponized words
Are paper tigers now

Oh your constant overthinking and your secretive drinking
Are making you more and more alone
And girl, you can slam the door behind you
It ain’t ever gonna close
Because when you’re home, you’re already home

I am tired
I am tired
I don’t wanna go home anymore
I don’t wanna throw stones anymore
I don’t wanna take part in the war

I loved you the first time I saw you
And you know I love you still
I loved you the first time I saw you
And you know I love you still

I don’t wanna be right anymore
Lord, I don’t wanna fight anymore
I’m not taking your side anymore
I am tired
I am not my own
And I am leaving
Oh, I am tired
And I’m coming home

‘Cause I am yours,
I am yours, I am yours,
I am yours, I am yours
I am yours,
I am yours, I am yours
I am yours, I am yours

Beyoncé – Halo

Lyrics

I love the way you walk into the room
Body shining lightin’ up the place
And when you talk, everybody stop
‘Cause they know you know just what you sayin’
The way that you protect your friends
Baby I respect you for that
And when you grow you’ll take everyone you love along
I love that shit
Don’t fly me away
Don’t need to buy a diamond key to unlock my heart
You shelter my soul, you’re my fire when I’m cold
I want you to know
You had me at hello
Hello, hello
‘Cause you had me at hello
Hello, hello
‘Cause it was many years ago
Baby when you stole my cool
‘Cause you had me at hello
Hello, hello
I get so excited when you travel with me
Baby while I’m on my grind
And never will I ever let my hustle
Come between me and my family time and
You keep me humble, I like this type
‘Cause you know there’s more to life
And if I need ya, you will be here
You will make the sacrifice
Wanna feel you, wanna be near you
You’re the air that I breathe to survive
I wanna know you, wanna show you
That without you my sun doesn’t shine
You don’t have to try so hard for me to love you
Boy without you my life just ain’t the same
You don’t have to try so hard for me to love you
‘Cause you had me at Hello
Hello, Hello
‘Cause you had me at Hello
Hello, Hello
Baby it was many years ago, when you stole my cool
Baby you had me at Hello
Hello, Hello
HELLO
HELLO
HELLO
HELLO
Hello, Hello
Hello

Brandi Carlile – River – live at Joni Mitchell Kennedy Centre Honors ceremony. #washingtondc

6,394 views Jan 25, 2022

Brandi Carlile – River – Joni Mitchell Cover Joni Mitchell Kennedy Center Honors Help Me Tribute to Joni Mitchell Joni Mitchell was recognized on December 5 at 2021’s Kennedy Center Honors ceremony, where the decorated singer-songwriter’s work was interpreted by an array of artists. One such collaboration saw Brittany Howard and Herbie Hancock perform “Both Sides Now” together. Taken from 1969’s Clouds, “Both Sides Now” fittingly finds Mitchell observing, “I really don’t know clouds at all.” Though Howard and Hancock are both celebrated in their own fields—Howard on vocals and Hancock on keys—they cede the stage to Mitchell’s timeless lyrics. The pair each turn in understated performances, keeping Mitchell’s songwriting the focus of attention. Hancock—who himself was honored at Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center in 2013—contributed to a re-recording of “Both Sides Now” on Mitchell’s 2000 album of the same name. In addition to Howard and Hancock, the evening also saw tributes from Ellie Goulding, Norah Jones, and Brandi Carlile. Goulding tackled one of Mitchell’s most iconic compositions, “Big Yellow Taxi“, Jones turned in a medley of songs including “Help Me”, and Carlile staged the Christmas song “River”.

Lyrics
You’re feeling nervous, aren’t you, boy?
With your quiet voice and impeccable style
Don’t ever let them steal your joy
And your gentle ways
To keep ’em from running wild
 
They can kick dirt in your face
Dress you down, and tell you that your place
Is in the middle, when they hate the way you shine
 
I see you tugging on your shirt
Trying to hide inside of it
And hide how much it hurts
 
Let ’em laugh while they can
Let ’em spin, let ’em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends
And the joke’s on them
 
You get discouraged, don’t you, girl?
It’s your brother’s world for a while longer
We gotta dance with the devil on a river
To beat the stream
Call it living the dream, call it kicking the ladder
 
They come to kick dirt in your face
To call you weak and then displace you
After carrying your baby on your back across the desert
I saw your eyes behind your hair
And you’re looking tired, but you don’t look scared
 
Let ’em laugh while they can
Let ’em spin, let ’em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends
And the joke’s on them
 
Let ’em laugh while they can
Let ’em spin, let ’em scatter in the wind
I have been to the movies, I’ve seen how it ends
And the joke’s on them
 
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Lyrics

I sit and wait
Does an angel contemplate my fate
And do they know
The places where we go
When we’re grey and old
‘Cause I have been told
That salvation lets their wings unfold

So when I’m lying in my bed
Thoughts running through my head
And I feel the love is dead
I’m loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I’m right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
When I come to call, she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead

When I’m feeling weak
And my pain walks down a one way street
I look above

And I know I’ll always be blessed with love
And as the feeling grows
She breathes flesh to my bones
And when love is dead

I’m loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I’m right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
When I come to call, she won’t forsake me

I’m loving angels instead

And through it all she offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
Whether I’m right or wrong
And down the waterfall
Wherever it may take me
I know that life won’t break me
When I come to call, she won’t forsake me
I’m loving angels instead

Lyrics:

No more champagne and the fireworks are through here we are, me and you feeling lost and feeling blue it’s the end of the party and the morning seems so grey so unlike yesterday now’s the time for us to say Happy new year happy new year may we all have a vision now and then of a world where every neighbour is a friend happy new year happy new year may we all have our hopes our will to try if we don’t we might as well lay down and die you and I Sometimes I see how the brave new world arrives and I see how it thrives in the ashes of our lives oh yes, man is a fool and he thinks he’ll be okay dragging on feet of clay never knowing he’s astray keeps on going anyway Happy new year happy new year may we all have a vision now and then of a world where every neighbour is a friend happy new year happy new year may we all have our hopes our will to try if we don’t we might as well lay down and die you and I Seems to me now that the dreams we had before are all dead, nothing more than confetti on the floor it’s the end of a decade in another ten years time who can say what we’ll find what lies waiting down the line in the end of eighty-nine Happy new year happy new year may we all have a vision now and then of a world where every neighbour is a friend happy new year happy new year may we all have our hopes our will to try if we don’t we might as well lay down and die you and I

Billie Eilish, Finneas – Happier Than Ever

Best of the Night: Billie Eilish Actually Looks Happier Than Ever

Did Billie Eilish even know she was performing at the Grammys? The way she rocked out while singing “Happier Than Ever,” jumping up and down and smiling at her brother, guitarist-producer Finneas, she seemed like she was owning a moment all her own. Not even pouring rain — or the fact that she would walk away with zero trophies among the seven she was nominated for, an egregious shutout given the year she had — could ruin the good time she was having on top of a prop mobile home as she belted “Just leave me aloooo-ho-ho-hone.” But she didn’t lose herself completely; she still remembered to hold up her T-shirt, repping late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins, sharing in her triumph. 

Lyrics

When I’m away from you, I’m happier than ever
Wish I could explain it better
I wish it wasn’t true, hm
Give me a day or two to think of something clever
To write myself a letter
To tell me what to do, mm-mmm

Do you read my interviews?
Or do you skip my avenue? (My avenue)
When you (when you) said you were passing through
Was I even on your way?
I knew when I asked you to (when I asked you to)
Be cool about what I was telling you
You’d do the opposite of what you said you’d do (what you said you’d do)
And I’d end up more afraid

Don’t say it isn’t fair
You clearly weren’t aware that you made me miserable
So if you really wanna know

When I’m away from you (when I’m away from you)
I’m happier than ever (happier than ever)
Wish I could explain it better (wish I could explain it better)
I wish it wasn’t true (wish it wasn’t true), mmm-hmm

You call me again, drunk in your Benz
Driving home under the influence
You scared me to death, but I’m wasting my breath
‘Cause you only listen to your fucking friends
I don’t relate to you
I don’t relate to you, no
‘Cause I’d never treat me this shitty
You made me hate this city

And I don’t talk shit about you on the internet
Never told anyone anything bad
‘Cause that shit’s embarrassing, you were my everything
And all that you did was make me fucking sad

So don’t waste the time I don’t have
And don’t try to make me feel bad
I could talk about every time that you showed up on time
But I’d have an empty line ’cause you never did
Never paid any mind to my mother or friends
So I shut ’em all out for you ’cause I was a kid

You ruined everything good
Always said you were misunderstood
Made all my moments your own
Just fucking leave me alone

Cherry Wine

Hozier

Her eyes and words are so icy
Oh but she burns
Like rum on the fire
Hot and fast and angry as she can be
I walk my days on a wire.

It looks ugly, but it’s clean,
Oh momma, don’t fuss over me.

The way she tells me I’m hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.

Calls of guilty thrown at me
All while she stains
The sheets of some other
Thrown at me so powerfully
Just like she throws with the arm of her brother.

But I want it
It’s a crime
That she’s not around most of the time.

The way she shows me I’m hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
Blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.

Her fight and fury is fiery
Oh but she loves
Like sleep to the freezing
Sweet and right and merciful
I’m all but washed
In the tide of her breathing.

And it’s worth it, it’s divine
I have this some of the time.

The way she shows me I’m hers and she is mine
Open hand or closed fist would be fine
The blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
