Lights - Ellie Goulding

Wow, this song has currently climbed into the Billboard top 10. Congratulations Ellie Goulding! Share this great news on Twitter if you are her fans.

I had a way then
Losing it all on my own
I had a heart then
But the queen has been overthrown
And I'm not sleeping now
The dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping up
The strength I need to push me

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
Cuz they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone

Noises, I play within my head
Touch my own skin
And hope they'll still be there
And I think back to when
My brother and my sister slept
In another place
The only time I feel safe

Repeat Chorus

Lights, lights (x14)

Wide Awake - Katy Perry

"Wide Awake" is going to be featured in Perry's upcoming 3D flick Katy Perry: Part of Me. Billed as the final chapter of the Teenage Dream era, 'Wide Awake' unsurprisingly sees Perry in reflective mode. We can almost feel Katy Perry's eyes open wide as she sings, "I'm wide awake!" to open this song.

I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was in the dark
I was falling hard
With an open heart
I'm wide awake
How did I read the stars so wrong

I'm wide awake
And now it's clear to me
That everything you see
Ain't always what it seems
I'm wide awake
Yeah, I was dreaming for so long

(Pre-Chorus)
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete

(Chorus)
Falling from cloud 9
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
(Yeah I'm) Falling from cloud 9

I'm wide awake
Not losing any sleep
Picked up every piece
And landed on my feet
I'm wide awake
Need nothing to complete myself - no oh oh

I'm wide awake
Yeah, I am born again
Outta the lion's den
I don't have to pretend
And it's too late
The story's over now, the end - yeah

(Pre-Chorus)
I wish I knew then
What I know now
Wouldn't dive in
Wouldn't bow down
Gravity hurts
You made it so sweet
Till I woke up on
On the concrete

(Chorus)
Falling from cloud 9
Crashing from the high
I'm letting go tonight
(Yeah I'm) Falling from cloud 9

Thunder rumbling
Castles crumbling
I am trying to hold on
God knows that I tried
Seeing the bright side
But I'm not blind anymore...'cause I'm... wide awake

Repeat Chorus

 
This song marks Perry's eleventh entry to the top 10 of Billboard Hot 100, following all seven of the previous singles from her second album Teenage Dream and three out of four singles from her debut album One of the Boys. Please share this post on Google+ or Facebook if you like the song.

Hello April: Glad You Came

I can't believe that I had only one post last month. I'll try to publish more posts this April. Don't forget to share this post on Google+ if you like my pick today.

"Glad You Came" is a dance pop song by British boy band The Wanted, taken as the second single from their second studio album, Battleground.

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no-one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away,
Away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no-one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away,
Away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

Repeat Chorus

Hello March: Miley Cyrus - Party in the U.S.A

I don't usually like Miley Cyrus, but this song is my favorite. The song was originally intended for Jessie J, however, the producers passed the song on to Cyrus, believing it was not edgy enough for herself. Would it have been a hit if Jessie J had sung it? Feel free to post your answer on my Google + or Twitter profile.

I hopped off the plane at L.A.X.
With a dream and my cardigan
Welcome to the land of fame excess,
Am I gonna fit in?

Jumped in the cab,
Here I am for the first time
Look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign
This is all so crazy
Everybody seems so famous

My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous,
That's when the taxi man turned on the radio
And a Jay-Z song was on (x3)

[Chorus:]
So I put my hands up
They're playing my song,
And the butterflies fly away
I'm noddin' my head like yeah
I'm movin' my hips like yeah
I got my hands up,
They're playin' my song
I know I'm gonna be OK
Yeah, it's a party in the USA
Yeah, it's a party in the USA

Get to the club in my taxi cab
Everybody's looking at me now
Like "Who's that chick, that's rockin' kicks?
She gotta be from out of town"

So hard with my girls not around me
It's definitely not a Nashville party
'cause all I see are stilettos
I guess I never got the memo

My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda home sick
Too much pressure and I'm nervous
That's when the D.J. dropped my favorite tune
and a Britney song was on (3 times)

Repeat Chorus

Feel like hoppin' on a flight (on a flight)
Back to my hometown tonight (town tonight)
Something stops me every time (every time)
The DJ plays my song and I feel alright

[Chorus x2]

Goodbye February: Outlaw

Outlaw is a track taken from the last album of Selena Gomez & the Scene "When The Sun Goes Down." Selena Gomez & the Scene break up earlier this month. Check out Selena Gomez 2012 news for more information.

"Outlaw"

[Verse 1:]
You've been riding this horse a long time
Why can't you find what you've been looking for?
Always greener on the other side
Always believing there must be something more

Never stay very long anywhere
As the next girl you leave gets smaller
In your rear-view mirror

[Chorus:]
You're an outlaw
You're an outlaw
You're an outlaw running from love

If you tear her world apart
You have no regrets
If there's a key to your heart
No one has found it yet

You've an outlaw
You've an outlaw
You've an outlaw
You've an outlaw running from love

[Verse 2:]
Your reputation's getting out of control
I can't believe she believes one word you said
Before I let you take my girlfriend home
I've got to warn her about the price on your head

It must feel so alone out there
Always running away from someone
But you get more nowhere

Repeat Chorus

If you tear her world apart
You have no regrets
If there's a key to your heart
No one has found it yet

You're an outlaw
You're an outlaw
You're an outlaw
You're an outlaw running from love

[Bridge:]
I'm from the Lone Star State
I'm ready to bring you in, oh
I'm gonna seal your fate
Make you pay for all your sins, oh, oh-oh

You've been riding this horse a long time
I've had my eye on you all night
I'm gonna find a way to make you mind
I know, even though

Repeat Chorus 2 times

If you tear her world apart
You have no regrets...
... stop running

Well, this is my last post of February. I hope March will be a lucky month for me.

Hey Stephen - Taylor Swift (album Fearless)

This is my second post featuring Taylor Swift's song. This time I pick another song from her very successful album Fearless which earned her Grammy Award for Album of The Year.

"Hey Stephen"

Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceiving but I know I saw a light in you
As we walked we were talking and I didn't say half the things I wanted to
Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window
I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold
Hey Stephen, boy you might have me believing I don't always have to be alone.

[Chorus:]
'cause I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help I if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feeling since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
I can't help myself

Hey Stephen, I've been holding back this feeling
So I've got some things to say to you
I seen it all so I thought but I never seen nobody shine the way you do
The way you walk, way you talk, way you say my name
It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever change
Hey Stephen, why are people always leaving
I think you and I should stay the same

Repeat Chorus

They're dimming the street lights
You're perfect for me why aren't you here tonight?
I'm waiting alone now so come on and come out and pull me near
Shine, shine, shine

Hey Stephen I could give you fifty reasons why I should be the one you choose
All those other girls, well they're beautiful but would they write a song for you

[Chorus x2]

Myself, can't help myself
I can't help myself.

Enjoy this video.

Better That We Break - Maroon 5 (album It Won't Be Soon Before Long)

Simon Cowell is eager to up the stakes of his talent show empire by pitching the next winner of The X Factor against the champions of his former programme American Idol and newcomer The Voice. However Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, who is one of the coaches of the American version of The Voice, is not a fan of the idea. Adam Levine and girlfriend Anne Vyalitsyna dropped by "The Howard Stern Show" this week. The rocker found himself discussing a pretty touchy subject: Christina Aguilera's weight. Stern tried to bait Levine into saying something nasty about Aguilera’s weight, but Adam was wise to his game and side stepped the land mine successfully.

"Better That We Break"

I never knew perfection til
I heard you speak, and now it kills me
Just to hear you say the simple things
Now waking up is hard to do
And sleeping is impossible too
Everything is reminding me of you
What can I do?

It’s not right, not OK
Say the words that you say
Maybe we’re better off this way?
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way?
It’s better that we break…

A fool to let you slip away
I chase you just to hear you say
You’re scared and that you think that I’m insane

The city look so nice from here
Pity I can’t see it clearly
While you’re standing there, it disappears
It disappears

It’s not right, not OK
Say the word it should say

Maybe we’re better off this way?
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way?
It’s better that we break

Saw you sitting all alone
You’re fragile and you’re cold, but that’s all right
Life these days is getting rough
They’ve knocked you down and beat you up
But it’s just a rollercoaster anyway, yeah

It’s not right, not OK
Say the words that you say
Maybe we’re better off this way?
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way?

I’m not fine, not OK
Say the words that you say
Maybe we’re better off this way?

I’m not fine, I’m in pain
It’s harder everyday
Maybe we’re better off this way?
It’s better that we break, baby

Here's another great video for you.

Stuck In The Moment - Justin Bieber (album My World 2.0)

Canadian singer Justin Bieber plans to look for revenge for his lost at this year’s Grammy by dominating the prestigious awards show when it returns next year. The empress of glitter and unicorns, Kesha, is giving him a helping hand on his new album Believe. While waiting for Kesha's collaboration with Justin Bieber, let's learn how to sing another song from his second album "My World 2.0" entitled Stuck In The Moment.

(With you, with you
I wish we had another time,
I wish we had another place.)

Now Romeo and Juliet,
Bet they never felt the way we felt.
Bonnie and Clyde,
Never had to hide like we do, we do.
You and I both know it can't work,
It's all fun and games,
'til someone gets hurt,
And I know I wont let that be you

Now you don't wanna let go,
And I don't wanna let you know
That there might be something real between us two (who knew?)
Now we don't wanna fall but,
We're tripping in our hearts and,
It's reckless and clumsy,
Cause I know you cant love me, hey
I wish we had another time,
I wish we had another place,
But everything we have is stuck in the moment,
And there's nothing my heart can't do,
To fight with time and space,
Cause I'm still stuck in the moment with you

See like Adam and Eve,
Tragedy was our destiny,
Like Sonny and Cher,
I don't care I've got you baby.
See we both fighting every inch of our fiber,
Cause either way its gonna end right but,
We are both too foolish to stop.

Repeat Chorus

See like just because this cold, cruel world
Saying we can't be,
Baby, we both have the right to disagree,
And I ain't with it.
And I don't wanna be so old and gray,
Reminiscing about these better days,
But convention's telling us to let go
And I still let go,
So we'll never know

I wish we had another time,
I wish we had another place,
Cause everything we did,
And everything we have is stuck in the moment
(Yeah oh no no no)

I wish we had another time,
I wish we had another place,
But everything we have is stuck in the moment,
And there's nothing my heart can't do,
To fight with time and space,
Cause I'm still stuck in the moment with you

Let's sing the song with this great video.
