Just a Kiss - Lady Antebellum

Just a Kiss - Lady Antebellum



Lying here with you so close to me
It’s hard to fight these feelings
when it feels so hard to breathe
Caught up in this moment
Caught up in your smile

I never open up to anyone
So hard to hold back
when I’m holding you in my arms

We don’t need to rush this
Let’s just take it slow

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch of the fire burning so bright
I don’t want to mess this thing up
I don’t want to push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
be the one I’ve been waiting for my whole life
So baby I’m alright with just a kiss goodnight


I know that if we give this a little time
it’ll only bring us closer to the love we wanna find
It’s never felt so real
No it’s never felt so right

[Chorus]

No i don’t want to say goodnight
I know it’s time to leave but you’ll be in my dreams
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight

[Chorus]

Let’s do this right with just a kiss goodnight
With a kiss goodnight
A kiss goodnight

Adele - Rolling In The Deep

Adele - Rolling In The Deep

There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark,

Finally, I can see you crystal clear,
Go ahead and sell me out and a I'll lay your ship bare,
See how I'll leave with every piece of you,
Don't underestimate the things that I will do,

There's a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bring me out the dark,

The scars of your love remind me of us,
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all,
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,
I can't help feeling,

We could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me),
Rolling in the deep,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),
You had my heart inside of your hand,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me),
And you played it to the beat,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),

Baby, I have no story to be told,
But I've heard one on you and I'm gonna make your head burn,
Think of me in the depths of your despair,
Make a home down there as mine sure won't be shared,

The scars of your love remind me of us,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me),
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),
The scars of your love, they leave me breathless,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me),
I can't help feeling,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),

We could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me),
Rolling in the deep,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),
You had my heart inside of your hands,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me),


And you played it to the beat,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),

Could have had it all,
Rolling in the deep,
You had my heart inside of your hands,
But you played it with a beating,

Throw your soul through every open door,
Count your blessings to find what you look for,
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold,
You'll pay me back in kind and reap just what you've sown,

(You're gonna wish you never had met me),
We could have had it all,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),
We could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me),
It all, it all, it all,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),

We could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me),
Rolling in the deep,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),
You had my heart inside of your hands,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me),
And you played it to the beat,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),

Could have had it all,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me),
Rolling in the deep,
(Tears are gonna fall, rolling in the deep),
You had my heart inside of your hands,
(You're gonna wish you never had met me),

But you played it,
You played it,
You played it,
You played it to the beat.

Rebecca Black Friday Lyrics

Rebecca Black Friday

Rebecca Black - Friday
Rebecca Black's Friday is one of the fastest rising pop songs at the moment. Twitter has been set ablaze with tweets about Rebecca. A group called Ark Music Factory is said to be behind the song's viral video. Most of the buzz surrounding is the video isn't actually a good buzz. People are calling it one of the worst songs ever made (E! online recently published an article posing this question). The lyrics are a little basic, but the girl is young. MTV described the girl as a "13-year-old version of Ke$ha." You decide...

Sons of Guns Song | Theme

Sons of Guns Song

Sons of Guns - Red Jacket Firearms
The inspiration for this post was the quest to find the artist that sings the Sons of Guns song, the theme in the opening sequence. Sons of Guns, if you don't know, is a new hit series on the Discovery Channel. It chronicles the staff of Red Jacket Firearms.

Red Jacket Firearms is based in Baton Rouge, LA, was founded by Will Hayden. Hayden, an ex-Marine, grew up with an extensive self education of warfare and firearms. Will has actually brought his daughter Stephanie Hayden on as a business partner and manager. Much of Red Jacket's success is owed to other members of the staff, some most frequently seen are gunsmith Vincent Buckles, and apprentice Kris Ford (don't forget about gunsmith Joe Meaux).

Sons of Guns Theme Song & Music Video - Shelter Me

The theme song for Sons of Guns is sang by Tab Benoit, and is called "Shelter Me." The version on the T.V. show is actually a remake of the classic by Buddy Miller. The song has been a popular question floating around the web lately. So if you found it here, enjoy!

Shelter Me Lyrics


The Earth can shake, the sky come down,
the mountains all fall to the ground.
But I will fear none of these things,
shelter me Lord underneath your wings.

Dark waters rise and thunders pound,
the wheels of war are going round
and all the walls are crumbling
shelter me Lord underneath your wings.

(Shelter me Lord)
Hide me underneath you wings,
hide me deep inside your heart
in your refuge - cover me
the world can shake
but Lord I'm making you my hiding place.

The wind can blow, the rain can pour,
the deluge breaks, the tempest roars
but in the storm my spirit sings
(when you) shelter me Lord underneath your wings.

(Shelter me Lord)
Hide me underneath you wings,
hide me deep inside your heart,
in your refuge - cover me,
the world can shake
but Lord I'm making you my hiding place.

Now on the day you call for me
someday when time - no more shall be,
I'll say oh Death where is your sting,
you shelter me Lord underneath your wings.

The Classic Sex Song

The Quintessential, Classic Sex Song by Kate Bush

The Ultimate Sex Song
I have been cracking out on GrooveShark lately (if you are elderly or live in your mother's basement... "cracking out" simply means I use it a lot), and making playlists of this, and that. At one point, I found my self asking "What's the name of that one sex song?" Yes, I talked to and questioned myself. Yes, I said 'sex song.' I don't think anyone can deny that this is the classic sex song, when they stop and think about it. It's been on every cheesy television show, and every love movie since the late 80s and I think most notably, at least according to my quick, lazy, and unscientific internet research, Love & Basketball).

The Song: This Woman's Work

I actually found the song title and artist's name on Yahoo! Answers. Believe it or not, under the search term "sex song." So, rest assured it's not just my opinion. This Woman's Work seems that it has spawned a bit of an online argument as to who sang it better. The original is by Kate Bush, and the more contemporary version was done by R&B singer Maxwell. I don't believe I had ever heard the Kate Bush version, so I am partial to the Maxwell version myself. However, a lot of people who are pro Kate Bush (see what I did there? Now it feels political, right?) describe her's as haunting, especially during the song's crescendo. You be the judge.

This Woman's Work Video - Maxwell Version

This Woman's Work Lyrics
Pray God you can cope.
I stand outside this woman's work,
This woman's world.
Ooh, it's hard on the man,
Now his part is over.
Now starts the craft of the father.

I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things we should've said,
That we never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things we should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go,
Make it go away.

Give me these moments back.
Give them back to me.
Give me that little kiss.
Give me your hand.

(I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.
I know you have a little life in you yet.
I know you have a lot of strength left.)

I should be crying, but I just can't let it show.
I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking

Of all the things we should've said,
That were never said.
All the things we should've done,
That we never did.
All the things that you needed from me.
All the things that you wanted for me.
All the things that I should've given,
But I didn't.

Oh, darling, make it go away.
Just make it go away now.

Bar music- A species that never fades

Guest Post:
Call it bar music, call it pub music, club music, karaoke or whatever, the fact is that this sort of music has been around in human society forever. It’s really “social” music, derived from singalongs, dances and other cultural get-togethers since the Stone Age. In London bars, New York bars, Sydney bars or anywhere else on Earth, music is part of the social scene.

A short history of bar music

Bar music in its modern form first really started during the 19th century in America, transplanted to some extent from Europe and Ireland. Music was played in bordellos, bars, and soon became an accepted part of the social scene. Jazz expanded the range of the music to clubs during Prohibition, and this social version became the standard for the post-war generations.

This early live music in bars and clubs translated soon enough into recorded music like juke boxes, followed by DJs and dancing in the 1950s. By the 1960s, bar music was the standard, and the explosion of pop music around the world made music an indispensable part of any bar, club, restaurant and even diners.

Disco and live rock turned the music into the main attractions for bars and clubs. The entertainment became a business venture in its own right, and many bar and club owners weren’t slow to realize that the music was driving a lot of business their way.

The bars repaid the favor to musicians, too. Many of the world’s biggest bands got their start in pubs and clubs. Even the Beatles and Rolling Stones got started in The Cavern and the Richmond clubs. Blues clubs helped top class musicians like Eric Clapton and John Mayall get started. Music and bars had a sort of symbiosis, which persists to this day in various forms.

Modern bars and modern music


The music has changed, the bars have changed. In the past, if anyone had even suggested that patrons get up and sing in karaoke style, nobody would have believed it. Pop music is still “hook music”, though, catchy and fun, and that’s the main driver. Music is no longer a spectator sport, and anyone prepared to try their luck in a local music night or karaoke bar is welcome to try.

The culture has also changed, arguably much for the better. In the mid 60s, specialist music bars started up, with country/rockabilly, jazz, soul and rock bars as the basic formats. This was originally because the bar owners had their own preferences, but it turned out to be a very good idea, attracting patrons and a lot more business, particularly for live music.

Wherever you go, music will be there waiting in the bars and clubs.

Bar music is flexible, adaptable, and a lot of fun, whether it’s just pop, or the most exotic type of new music. Bars have become the places to listen to music and have a good night out. This is the real “world music”, and it’s everywhere.
