Sam Smith recently releases his first single "Too Good At Goodbyes" from his second album "The Thrill Of It All" and it sounds simply amazing. The singer reveals that he wrote this song sometime last year when he was in London after having a break up with a guy he dated. He added that the song is actually focused more about himself and the way he deals with a heartbreak rather than the ex. He mentioned that he felt as if he was getting better in accepting break ups after these incidents.

In my honest opinion, Sam Smith is really good at making terribly sad songs as they really touch the heart of the listeners. In tandem, I feel sorry for the singer having to go through break ups while writing songs for the album. On a side note, I could not believe that he has lost massive amount of weight since I last saw him in the news! If you have not already listened to the song, watch the music video below and let me know your thoughts about it. Peace out.



Too Good At Goodbyes lyrics

You must think that I'm stupid
You must think that I'm a fool
You must think that I'm new to this
But I have seen this all before

I'm never gonna let you close to me
Even though you mean the most to me
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
So I'm never gonna get too close to you
Even when I mean the most to you
In case you go and leave me in the dirt

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

I know you're thinking I'm heartless
I know you're thinking I'm cold
I'm just protecting my innocence
I'm just protecting my soul

I'm never gonna let you close to me
Even though you mean the most to me
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
So I'm never gonna get too close to you
Even when I mean the most to you
In case you go and leave me in the dirt

But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true

I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
No way that you'll see me cry
(No way that you'll see me cry)

I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
No
No, no, no, no, no
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
No, no, no, no
No, no, no
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
(No way that you'll see me cry)
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)

'Cause every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true
I'm way too good at goodbyes

Mercy lyrics

You've got a hold of me
Don't even know your power
I stand a hundred feet
But I fall when I'm around ya

Show me an open door
Then you go and slam it on me
I can't take anymore
I'm saying baby

Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart

I'd drive through the night
Just to be near you baby
Heart open, testify
Tell me that I'm not crazy

I'm not asking for a lot
Just that you're honest with me
My pride is all I got
I'm saying baby

Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me
I'm a puppet on your strings
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart

Consuming all the air inside my lungs
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice
Consuming all the air inside my lungs
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice

Oh, please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me
I'm a puppet on your string
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free
I'm begging you for mercy, mercy (on my heart)
I'm begging you, begging you please baby
I'm begging you for mercy, mercy (on my heart)
Oh, I'm begging you, I'm begging you, yeah

"Million Reasons" is another song from Lady Gaga's fifth album "Joanne" (2016). Besides, it is also the album's second single after the famous "Perfect Illusion". Written by Gaga, Hillary Lindsey and Mark Ronson, "Million Reasons" delves on  heartbreak and hope during a relationship. The song is back by only guitar and piano, not to mention Lady Gaga's powerful vocal! A little fact about her current "Joanna" album, it is actually named after Gaga's middle name (her birth name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) which is given to her as a tribute to her father's late sister.

I instantly fell in love with this song the first time I listened to it when it was released on 5 October 2016 on her YouTube channel. In addition, I like how Lady Gaga presented her self in  "Joanna" album, where she steps away from her usual bombastic attires and make-ups, and just be her true self. Her live performance of "Million Reasons" at the recent American Music Awards 2016 is as amazing as her lyrics video, if not better! What do you think about the song? Enjoy the lyric video as well as her perfomance below and let me know your opinions in the comment box. Till then, au revoir!



Million Reasons lyrics

You're giving me a million reasons to let you go
You're giving me a million reasons to quit the show
You're givin' me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

If I had a highway, I would run for the hills
If you could find a dry way, I'd forever be still
But you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay

Head stuck in a cycle, I look off and I stare
It's like that I've stopped breathing, but completely aware
'Cause you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

And if you say something that you might even mean
It's hard to even fathom which parts I should believe
'Cause you're giving me a million reasons
Give me a million reasons
Givin' me a million reasons
About a million reasons

I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one to stay

Hey, ehh, ehh, eyy
Baby I'm bleedin', bleedin'
Stay, ehh, ehhy
Can't you give me what I'm needin', needin'
Every heartbreak makes it hard to keep the faith
But baby, I just need one good one
Good one, good one, good one, good one, good one

When I bow down to pray
I try to make the worst seem better
Lord, show me the way
To cut through all his worn out leather
I've got a hundred million reasons to walk away
But baby, I just need one good one, good one
Tell me that you'll be the good one, good one
Baby, I just need one good one to stay

I just have to post this! Who knows that Rebecca Black can actually sing this well!? Last I checked, Rebecca who has risen to fame after releasing her debut single "Friday" back in 2011 did not do so good with her vocal skills. The music video even garnered more dislikes than likes *ouch*. Personally I think her voice was autotuned just too much in that song. I was even hesitating a little bit to watch the video when I first saw Alessia Cara's "Scars To Your Beautiful" uploaded on YouTube covered by Rebecca.

Much to my surprise, she was like turning over a new leaf and her voice is actually pretty impressive! Kurt Hugo Schneider was, on the other hand, seemed so busy handling all the music instruments at the back. What do you think of Rebecca Black's cover? Watch her performance and leave your comments in the box below. Till then, au revoir!

Recently, English indie pop band Bastille releases a live version of his lead single from their second studio album ,"Wild World (2016)",  "Good Grief" at Capitol Studio in their YouTube channel. Written by Bastille frontman Dan Smith, the song highlights the feeling of grief and loss, be it due to loss of a relationship or death. According to Smith, "It could be a massive celebration of someone, or hugely sad. There could be moments of euphoria and people getting pissed and collapsing on the floor". He further added, grief is a "complicated reality".

Personally, somehow I can feel the tone of sadness from the song and it has meaningful lyrics. Besides, I like the live version better than the original version of the song. The music video of the song was debuted on 22 June 2016. Well, I think the music video is pretty confusing at times. What do you think of Bastille's "Good Grief"? Watch the music video as well as live version and let me know your thoughts in the comment box below. Till then, au revoir!




Good Grief lyrics

So, what would you little maniacs like to do first?

Watching through my fingers, watching through my fingers
Shut my eyes and count to ten
It goes in one ear out the other, one ear out the other
Burning bright right till the end
Now you'll be missing from the photographs, missing from the photographs

Watching through my fingers, watching through my fingers
In my thoughts you're far away
And you are whistling a melody, whistling a melody
Crystallizing clear as day
Oh I can picture you so easily, picture you so easily

What's gonna be left of the world if you're not in it?
What's gonna be left of the world, oh

Every minute and every hour
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more
Every stumble and each misfire
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more

Watching through my fingers, watching through my fingers
Caught off guard by your favorite song
Oh I'll be dancing at a funeral, dancing at a funeral
Sleeping in the clothes you love
It's such a shame we had to see them burn, shame we had to see them burn

What's gonna be left of the world if you're not in it?
What's gonna be left of the world, oh

Every minute and every hour
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more
Every stumble and each misfire
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more

You might have to excuse me
I've lost control of all my senses
And you might have to excuse me
I've lost control of all my words
So get drunk, call me a fool
Put me in my place, put me in my place
Pick me up, up off the floor
Put me in my place, put me in my place

Every minute and every hour
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more
Every stumble and each misfire
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more

Watching through my fingers, watching through my fingers
Cause every minute and every hour
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more

Several weeks ago, I kept hearing this song playing on the radio repeatedly and I found out that it is "Closer" which is sang by American DJ called The Chainsmokers. In addition, the song also features American singer Halsey! One of the members from The Chainsmokers, Andrew Taggart also provides his vocals in that particular song.

In all honesty, I have to admit that the song itself is amazing and it has basically topped the charts in more than ten countries ranging from Australia, US, Canada to the UK. Nonetheless, I feel that the song is much better in the music video than the artists singing it live. Not being judgy but Andrew Taggart's vocal is just way off compared to the original voice in the track. Halsey, on the other hand, is doing fine and her voice is fantastic. What do you think about the song? Watch the music video below and let me know your thoughts in the comment box. Till then, au revoir!


Closer lyrics

Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you
I drink too much and that's an issue
But I'm OK
Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them
Again

I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke-down car
And four years, no calls
Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I, I, I, I, I can't stop
No, I, I, I, I, I can't stop

So, baby, pull me closer
In the back seat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of that mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older

You look as good as the day I met you
I forget just why I left you,
I was insane
Stay and play that Blink-182 song
That we beat to death in Tucson,
OK

I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke-down car
And four years, no call
Now I'm looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I, I, I, I, I can't stop
No, I, I, I, I, I can't stop

So, baby, pull me closer
In the back seat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of that mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older

So, baby, pull me closer
In the back seat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of that mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older
No, we ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
No, we ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
No, we ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older
No, we ain't ever getting older

Besides, it is also the lead single from their fourth album , "Music Is The Weapon". I have to say that this is by far one of the best song ever sang by Justin Bieber.

Truthfully speaking, the song is fun and it is well produced. Moreover, it has an uplifting and encouraging lyrics, not to mention catchy! What do you think about the song?

Cold Water lyrics

[Justin]
Everybody gets high sometimes, you know...
(What else can we do when we're feeling low?)
So take a deep breath and let it go
You shouldn't be drowning on your own

And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over
Into cold, cold water for you
And although time may take us into different places
I will still be patient with you
And I want you to know

I won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight...
I won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight....

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
Cause we all get lost sometimes, you know?
It's how we learn, how we grow
And I wanna lay with you 'til I'm old
You shouldn't be fighting on your own

And if you feel you're sinking, I will jump right over
Into cold, cold water for you
And although time may take us into different places
I will still be patient with you
And I want you to know

I won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight
I won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight

[MØ]
Come on, come on!
Standing on a rocking boat
I just wanna stay afloat
I'm all alone
Now, now, someone come and take me home
Somewhere I can rest my soul
I need to know
You won't let go

I won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight...
I won't let go
I'll be your lifeline tonight....

I won't let go

(I won't let go...)

Recently Canadian singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes has released his new song 'Treat You Better" which is also the lead single from his upcoming album "Illuminate". The music video features a scene revolving around a situation of violence between couples. A girl was shown being abused by her boyfriend whereas Mendes hopes to be with her and struggles to understand why the girl is still with the man. In addition, it also highlights the importance of eradicating domestic violence issues. Shawn explained that there were two stories going on at the same time in the music video.

According to Shawn in a behind-the-scenes clip posted by Buzzfeed, "This girl is in an abusive relationship with this guy and you kind of see her struggle with, 'Do I love him?' (and) what she goes through kind of rebelling a bit... and on the other hand, it's me and kind of this alternative reality where I'm stuck inside of this room, I'm kind of trapped." He further added, "it's almost like I've been in here forever and I can't get out, as much as I want to help the girl, I can't get out of this thing 'cause there's something out there that's not letting me."

At the end of the music video, it also displays the number for the National Domestic Violence Hotline. What do you think of Shawn's "Treat You Better"? Let me know in the comment box below and enjoy the music video of the song below. Till then, au revoir!


Treat You Better lyrics

I won't lie to you
I know he's just not right for you
And you can tell me if I'm off
But I see it on your face
When you say that he's the one that you want
And you're spending all your time
In this wrong situation
And anytime you want it to stop

I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

I'll stop time for you
The second you say you'd like me too
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing
Baby, just to wake up with you
Would be everything I need and this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do

'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

Better than he can

Give me a sign
Take my hand, we'll be fine
Promise I won't let you down
Just know that you don't
Have to do this alone
Promise I'll never let you down

'Cause I know I can treat you better than he can
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Tell me why are we wasting time
On all your wasted crying
When you should be with me instead
I know I can treat you better
Better than he can

Better than he can
Better than he can

"Scars To Your Beautiful" is yet again another amazing piece of song created by Canadian singer-songwriter Alessia Cara for her debut studio album "Know-It-All". It was released on as her third single from the same album. Written by Cara herself along with Warren Felder, Coleridge Tillman and Andrew Wansel, Alessia states that this song talks about body image. While it is mainly targeting on fellow women, she thinks that men can relate to this song as well.

"I wanted to do this kind of video for a very long time. Since we had this song — and since we knew it was going to be a single — I had this vision of many different cinematic shots of different kinds of people. I wanted all kinds of people — young, old, whatever their situation, whether it's visible scars, non-visible scars — just a bunch of different women, and there are some men in there as well because it can reach out to guys too. But I wanted real shots of real people telling their stories, and showing the story through little vignettes." -Alessia Cara in Cosmopolitan interview.

The music video for this song features cancer survivors, transgenders, racial minorities and others who open out about their insecurities and flaws. In my opinion, this is a great song where it urges people to embrace themselves and more importantly, to accept themselves as who they are and love themselves. What do you think of "Scars To Your Beautiful"? Let me know in the comment box below and watch the music video below. Till then, au revoir!


Scars To Your Beautiful lyrics

She just wants to be, beautiful
She goes, unnoticed she knows, no limits
She craves, attention she praises, an image
She prays to be, sculpted by the sculptor
Oh, she don't see, the light that's shining
Deeper than the eyes can find it
Maybe we have made her blind
So she tries to cover up her pain, and cut her woes away
Cause covergirls don't cry, after their face is made

But there's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change it's heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change it's heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful

She has dreams to be an envy, so she's starving
You know, "covergirls eat nothing"
She says "beauty is pain and there's beauty in everything"
"What's a little bit of hunger?"
"I could go a little while longer", she fades away
She don't see her perfect, she don't understand she's worth it
Or that beauty goes deeper than the surface
Ah oh, ah ah oh,
So to all the girls that's hurting
Let me be your mirror, help you see a little bit clearer
The light that shines within

There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change it's heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change it's heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful

No better you than the you that you are
(No better you than the you that you are)
No better life than the life we're living
(No better life than the life we're living)
No better time for your shine, you're a star
(No better time for your shine, you're a star)
Oh, you're beautiful, oh, you're beautifu-u-u-ul

There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change it's heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful
Woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-, oh-oh-oh-oh
And you don't have to change a thing
The world could change it's heart
No scars to your beautiful, we're stars and we're beautiful

New York DJ duo The Chainsmokers released "Don't Let Me Down" on 5 February 2016, following their single "Roses". The song also features vocals of American singer Daya. On 29 April 2016, the music video was released on YouTube and so far it has reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100, making it the highest charting single for The Chainsmokers to date in the US.

In my humble opinion, the song is pretty decent to listen to but I am really confused with the music video of the song itself. For example, I cannot find any connection between the lip and the song, not to mention the gist of the entire video. I would be delighted if you guys could really explain it to me. What do you think about it? Let me know in the comment box below. Till then, au revoir!


Dont Let Me Down lyrics

Crashing, hit a wall
Right now I need a miracle
Hurry up now, I need a miracle
Stranded, reaching out
I call your name but you're not around
I say your name but you're not around

I need ya, I need ya, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling, I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
D-don't let me down

Don't let me down
Don't let me down, down, down
Don't let me down, don't let me down, down, down

Running out of time
I really thought you were on my side
But now there's nobody by my side

I need ya, I need ya, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling, I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
D-don't let me down

Don't let me down

Don't let me down, down, down
Don't let me down, down, down
Don't let me down, don't let me down, down, down

Ooh, I think I'm losing my mind now, yeah
Ooh, I think I'm losing my mind now, yeah

I need ya, I need ya, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling, I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
Don't let me down

Yeah, don't let me down
Yeah, don't let me down
Don't let me down, oh, no
Said don't let me down
Don't let me down

Don't let me down
Don't let me down, down, down

24 years old English singer-songwriter James Bay realeased "Hold Back The River" in the UK on 17 November 2014 as his second single from his debut studio album Chaos And The Calm (2015). The song was composed by both Bay and the Ivor Novello award winner Ian Archer.

According to Bay. the song was created purely out of emotion as well as a longing to be with his friends and family after he was involved in a exhausting tour. Initially, he thought that he would have time to spend with them after the gruelling tour has ended. However, he was proved wrong when he found himself to be busier than ever with his early successful career in the music industry.

"I spend 8-10 hours of the day chasing it,... and giving up, trying again and giving up, but because I felt it so strongly, suddenly at the last moment, just before hanging the guitar back up, the music came. The riff was the first to come. It felt like the thing that expressed the emotion the best, and the lyrics just kind of just flowed to that melody." -James Bay

Besides, he started to become worried and anxious that he would have lost contact with his loved ones. The only way for the British singer to express his feelings was always through music. Hence, armed with the overwhelming feelings and his guitar, he spend hours to write the song. When he first performed it in a small Nashville night club, he noticed that the song felt even more uplifting. What do you think of the song? Let me know in the comments below. Till then, au revoir!


Hold Back The River lyrics

Tried to keep you close to me,
But life got in between
Tried to square not being in there
But think that I should've been

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back

Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we're caught against the tide
Those distant days all flashing by

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back

Oh, oho, oho, oho, oho
Oho, oho, oho, oho

Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold

Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other

At a young age of 18, Swedish singer Zara Larsson is no stranger to the Billboard Hot 100 chart. While she was just 10 years old, she won the Swedish version of the Got Talent series and later she released one-off singles and EPs after the show. It was not until last year when she released "Never Forget You" that she started rose to fame. The song also features British singer MNEK and it peaked at number 5 on the UK Singles Chart, number 2 in Norway, number 1 in Sweden and the likes.

Billboard then had an interview with Larsson to talk about the making of her new hit. According to Larsson, the song was done in a mere two hours as if it felt like it wrote itself. Initially the song was supposed to belong to Larsson only, but MNEK also showed interest towards it. In the end, they collaborate and make "Never Forget You" as a duet song. What do you think of this song? Let me know in the comments below. Till then, au revoir!


Never Forget You lyrics

I used to be so happy
But without here I feel so low
I watched you as you left but I can never seem to let you go
Cause once upon a time you were my everything
It’s clear to see that time hasn’t changed a thing
It’s very deep inside me but I feel there’s something you should know

I’ll never forget you
And you’ll always be by my side
From the day that I met you
I knew that I would love you till the day I die
And I will never want much more
And in my heart I will always be sure
I will never forget you
And you’ll always be by my side till the day I die

Till the day I die
Till the day I die

Funny how we both ended happy but everything seems alright
(ahhh)
I wonder what will happen
If we went back and put up a fight
(ahhh)
Cause once upon a time you were my everything
It’s clear to see that time hasn’t changed a thing
So thoughtful whisper do you think I’ll ever take you off my mind

I’ll never forget you
And you’ll always be by my side
From the day that I met you
I knew that I would love you till the day I die
And I will never want much more
And in my heart I will always be sure
I will never forget you
And you’ll always be by my side till the day I die

Doing it, loving it
Everything that we do
And all along, I knew I had something special with you
But sometimes you just gotta know these things fall through
But I’m still tired and I can’t hide my connection with you

Feeling it, loving it
Everything that we do
And all along, I knew I had something special with you
But sometimes you just gotta know these things fall through
But I’m still tired and I can’t hide my connection with you

I’ll never forget you
And you’ll always be by my side
From the day that I met you
I knew that I would love you till the day I die
And I will never want much more
And in my heart I will always be sure
That I will never forget you
And you’ll always be by my side till the day I die

Till the day I die
Till the day I die

I’ll never forget you
I’ll never forget you

Till the day I die

"I Took A Pill In Ibiza" is a song by American singer-songwriter Mike Posner. The song which is originally acoustic guitar-based with Posner's vocal only appeared on his album At Night, Alone. Later on 4 July 2015, the talented Norwegian duo SeeB remixed the song and made it into a more club anthem song. In addition, the remixed song was released as a single from Posner's second EP, "The Truth" and also the lead single from his second album, "At Night, Alone."

"It's just about being honest. I listen to a lot of stuff that's out there, some of which I wrote, and I'm like, 'Where's the honesty?'. So that's what I want to get to in my music now." -Mike Posner during Billboard interview.

Posner finds it funny that "I Took A Pill In Ibiza" is becoming more and more famous despite the fact that it was a song about struggling with the afterglow of fame. Furthermore, Poser was also surprised that his "I Took A Pill In Ibiza" song with sad and depressed lyrics can be converted into a soundtrack that clubs and bars will use. What do you think of the song? Let me know in the comments below. Till then, au revoir!




I Took A Pill In Ibiza lyrics

I took a pill in Ibiza
To show Avicii I was cool
And when I finally got sober
felt 10 years older
But fuck it, it was something to do
I'm living out in L. A
I drive a sports car just to prove
I'm a real big baller
cause I made a million dollars
And I spend it on girls and shoes

But you don't wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don't ever wanna step off
that roller coaster and be all alone
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs

I'm just a singer who already blew his shot
I get along with old timers
Cause my name's a reminder
of a pop song people forgot
And I can't keep a girl, no
Cause as soon as the sun comes up
I cut 'em all loose and work's my excuse
But the truth is I can't open up

But you don't wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don't ever wanna step off
that roller coaster and be all alone
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs

I took a plane to my hometown
I brought my pride and my guitar
All my friends are all gone
but there's manicured lawns
And the people still think I'm a star
I walked around downtown
I met some fans on Lafayette
They said "Tell us how to make it
'cause we're getting real impatient"
So I looked 'em in the eye and said

You don't wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don't ever wanna step off
that roller coaster and be all alone
You don't wanna ride the bus like this
Never knowing who to trust like this
You don't wanna be stuck up on that stage singing
Stuck up on that stage singing
All I know are sad songs, sad songs
Darling, all I know are sad songs, sad songs

Raging lyrics

Standing in the cold in the frozen wind
I'm leaving you behind but it's not the end
No, no, no
Walking on a plane as I hold my breath
It's gonna be weeks 'til I breathe again
No, no, no

I know that you hate it
And I hate it
Just as much as you
But if you can brave it
I can brave it
Brave it all for you

Call me anytime that you see the lightning
Don't you feel alone, you can always find me
We've got a wild love raging, raging
Lost among a million changing faces
Every day our hearts keep trading places
We've got a wild love raging, raging

Raging, raging
Raging, raging
Raging, raging

Checking into hotel loneliness
It's not what I've been used to, I confess
To wake up three times a night
Talking to a stranger's nothing new
She knows how to smile but not like you
So I wait for you all night

I know that you hate it
And I hate it
Just as much as you
But if you can brave it
I can brave it
Brave it all for you

Call me anytime that you see the lightning
Don't you feel alone, you can always find me
We've got a wild love raging, raging
Lost among a million changing faces
Every day our hearts keep trading places
We've got a wild love raging, raging

Raging, raging

Call me anytime that you see the lightning
Don't you feel alone, you can always find me
We've got a wild love raging, raging
Rolling on the wind with you forever
Holding onto us for worse or better
We've got a wild love raging, raging
Raging, raging
Raging, raging
Call me anytime that you see the lightning
Don't you feel alone, you can always find me
We've got a wild love raging, raging

So, few days ago I have discovered an interesting YouTube video which shows a guy performing a medley of every hit song from 2000 to 2016 under one similar beat. I am pretty positive that most of you have never heard of this guy named Michael Constantino. Recently, he has just released his EP which is available on iTunes. He sang hits like Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself", Adele's "Hello", Taylor Swift's "Blank Space", Destiny Child's "Say My Name" and the likes. Amazingly, he was able to blend every song seamlessly and effortlessly although he did not know what song he was going to perform next, which make it more impressive! For those who are wandering, the background music that is used is none other than Mike Posner's "I Took A Pill In Ibiza (Seeb Remix)". Watch his performance in the video below and let me know your opinions in the comment box below! Till then, au revoir!

American pop rock band OneRepublic has recently released their latest single "Wherever I Go" from their fourth upcoming studio album on 13 May 2016. Written and produced by lead singer Ryan Tedder as well as bassist Brent Kutzle and producer Noel Zancanella, the music video of the song was directed by the Joseph Kahn. Despite appearing in the video for only a short period of time, the music video actually focuses on a day in the life of a Korean businessman who is stuck in his daily hectic routine.

The businessman (Kenneth Choi) wakes up as early as 6 in the morning everyday and encounters a world that consists of black, white and grey as everyone around him dresses the same and he feels that his life is filled with nothing but dullness. However, he flings his breifcase and starts dancing once he enters his office and his colleagues are bewildered and shocked looking at his unexpected behaviour. Nonetheless, they give into his energy and begin to join in but he still fails to court the woman he is attracted to.Then he enters a secret passageway containing OneRepublic and he watches them performing before his eyes. As soon as he steps back into the office, everything turns colourful and he was dancing happily with the woman he likes. Unfortunately, everything turns out to be his imagination and the video ends with everyone leaving the elevator.

What do your think of OneRepublic's "Wherever I Go" music video? Let me know in the comment box below. Till then, au revoir!


Wherever I Go lyrics

I know I could lie but I'm telling the truth
Wherever I go there's a shadow of you
I know I could try looking for something new
But wherever I go I'll be looking for you

Some people lie but they're looking for magic
Others are quietly going insane
I feel alive when I'm close to the madness
No easy love could ever make me feel the same

I know I could lie but I won't lie to you
Wherever I go you're the ghost in the room
I don't even try looking for something new
Cause' wherever I go I'll be looking for you

Some people try but they can't find the magic
Others get down on their knees and they pray
I come alive when I'm close to the madness
No easy love could ever make me feel the same
Make me feel the same
Make me feel the same, same, same

I know I could lie but I'm telling the truth
Wherever I go there's a shadow of you
I know I could try looking for something new
But wherever I go I'll be looking for you1

Wherever I go I'll be looking for you, you

Some people pray at their god for some magic
Cause' no easy love could ever make them feel the same
No easy love could ever make me feel the same
Make me feel the same, same, same

I know I could lie but I'm telling the truth
Wherever I go there's a shadow of you
I know I could try looking for something new
But wherever I go I'll be looking for you

You think it's a lie but I'm telling the truth
Wherever I go I'll be looking for you
Wherever I go I'll be looking for you

Danish soul-pop band Lukas Graham has released "7 Years" which is a song from their self-entitled second album, "Lukas Graham" on 18 September 2015 through Copenhagen Records. Currently, the music video has achieved over 175 million views as of May 2016 on YouTube. Hailing from Copenhagen, band's frontman Lukas Graham Forchhammer mentioned that "7 Years" is a song about his life throughout the years as well as his hopes for the future. He sings about his memories at the ages of 7, 11 and 20. In addition, he also imagines what life might be when he reaches 30 and 60. When the band started to rise to fame back in 2012, Lukas' father suddenly passed away at the age of 61. This unexpected event eventually caused Graham to grieve for some time before getting back up.

"It's a song about growing older. I'm also coming to a realisation that being a father is the most important thing. My biggest dream is not to be some negative old dude, but to have my kids' friends say, 'You're going to visit your dad? Say hi! He’s awesome.' I had a perfect father." -Lukas Graham

In my humble opinion, I think the song is easy to relate to and it shares a deep meaning to most of us. In addition, it also conveys a great message and advice that parents could give to their children. What do you think of the song? Let me know in the comment box below. Till then, au revoir.


7 Years lyrics

Once I was seven years old, my mama told me,
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely.
Once I was seven years old

It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me,
Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely.
Once I was eleven years old

I always had that dream, like my daddy before me
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Once I was twenty years old

I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
I got my boys with me, at least those in favor
And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later

Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
I was writing about everything I saw before me
Once I was twenty years old

Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
Soon we'll be thirty years old

I'm still learning about life
My woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
And I can tell them stories
Most of my boys are with me
Some are still out seeking glory
And some I had to leave behind
My brother, I'm still sorry

Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
Remember life, and then your life becomes a better one
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month

Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
Soon I'll be sixty years old

Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
Soon I'll be sixty years old

Once I was seven years old, my mama told me,
"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely."
Once I was seven years old

Once I was seven years old
