First Hits

    Seether - "Country Song" Lyrics


    Well I can't stand to look at you now
    This revelation's out of my hands
    Still I can't bear the thought of you now
    This complication's leaving me scared

    Stay when you think you want me
    Pray when you need advice
    Hey keep your sickness off me
    Tryin' to get through
    Blame all your weakness on me
    Shame that I'm so contrite
    Hey keep your fingers off me
    Why can't I get through

    You think you have the best of intentions
    I cannot shake the taste of blood in my mouth

    (Hey) I keep on thinking that it's
    (Hey) All done and all over now
    You keep on thinking you can save me, save me
    (Hey) My ship is sinking but it's
    (Hey) All good and I can't go down
    You got me thinking that the party's all over

    Well I can't stand to be with myself
    This liberation's seemingly rare
    And I can't stand the taste of your mouth
    This sublimation's outta my hands

    Pray when you need advice
    Hey keep your sickness off me
    I'm tryin' to get through
    Shame you could take this from me
    Pain on an empty mind
    Hey keep your fingers off me
    Why can't I get through

    (Hey) I keep on thinking that it's
    (Hey) All done and all over now
    You keep on thinking you can save me, save me
    (Hey) My ship is sinking but it's
    (Hey) All good and I can't go down
    You got me thinking that the party's all over

    Lay down
    Just stay down
    Lay down because I'm trying to get through

    Say what you want, but you're not gunna win this time
    Take what you want, but just leave me alive
    Say what you want, but you're not gunna win this time
    Take what you want, but just leave me alive

    (Hey) I keep on thinkin' that it's
    (Hey) All done and all over now
    You keep on thinking you can save me, save me
    (Hey) My ship is sinking but it's
    (Hey) All good and I can't go down
    Still you believe that we can start it all over

    Lay down
    Just stay down
    Lay down because the party's all over

    Lay down
    Just stay down
    Lay down because I'm trying to get through

    Note:  There are some groups in which a "Best Of" or "Greatest Hits" album will get you all you need to have.  This is not one such act.  If you must, So Far and the 2005 Greatest Hits have their most known songs on them, but you want to go much deeper than that.  Until the record company releases a box set, I would strongly recommend buying the first four albums.Source URL: http://acsblogrock.blogspot.com/2011/03/

    Mana - "Lluvia Al Corazon" Lyrics


    [Verse 1]

    Por qué lloras mi amor
    Qué te fluye en la piel
    Te despiertas en el llanto
    Con espantos de dolor

    Son los monstruos del ayer
    Son tus miedos corazón
    Sabes bien que yo te amo
    Y te pido tengas fe

    No sufras más no mi bebe
    Eres la mariposa
    Que vuela hacia el huracán
    Cuéntame de tu pesar
    Suelta todo tu dolor, dímelo

    Aaaaaaaaa amor
    Un huracán y una mariposa
    Llegan se dan la cara
    En medio de la mar

    [Chorus]

    Lluvia de esperanza
    Lluvia al corazón
    Siempre ahí estaré
    No te fallaré
    Desde el cielo lluvia al corazón
    Sol que lanza la esperanza
    La esperanza y la luz
    No importa lo que pase
    No importa jamás no no
    Lluvia al corazón

    [Verse 2]

    Fluye la desilusión
    Muda desesperación
    Pero todo tiene alivio
    Menos el decir adiós

    Y si te vas así yo moriré
    Y te amarras a tu piano
    Y te vas al altamar
    Y te quieres escapar
    Y te quieres diluir
    No mi amor

    Aaaaaaaaa amor
    Un huracán y una mariposa
    Llegan se dan la cara
    En medio de la mar

    [Chorus]

    Lluvia de esperanza
    Lluvia al corazón
    Siempre ahí estaré
    No te fallaré
    Desde el cielo lluvia al corazón
    Sol que lanza la esperanza
    La esperanza y la luz
    No importa lo que pase
    No importa jamás no no
    Lluvia al corazón

    La esperanza al corazón
    La esperanza al corazón
    Que te sane que te alivie el dolor
    No importa lo que pase
    No importa jamás no no
    Lluvia al corazón

Singles by Air Supply

    As Music Director and head of Research at KFXD, I oversaw a system that proved to be very accurate in gauging the musical tastes of our listeners.  The research was soon able to "predict" the peak chart position for  a song before it was released within a few places.  Arista Records (Air Supply's label) was aware of this, and asked us to do research on the tracks that were on Air Supply's debut album in the United States.  "All Out of Love" was the song that tested the best, followed by "Every Woman in the World".  After "Lost in Love", Arista released those two singles in that order from the album.  We were given a Platinum Record signifying Air Supply's sales of over one million copies in appreciation of our efforts.



    1976:  "Love and Other Bruises"

Foo Fighters - "Rope"

    Foo Fighters - "Rope" Lyrics

    This indecision's got me climbing up the walls
    I've been cheating gravity and waiting on the falls
    How did this come over me, I thought I was above it all
    Our hopes gone up in smoke, swallow your crown

    (Yowh!)
    On a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you
    (Yowh!)
    On a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you

    Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you
    Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now
    Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head, into the clear
    When you go I come loose

    These premonitions got me crying up a storm
    Leave your condition, this position does no harm

    (Yowh!)
    On a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you
    (Yowh!)
    On a kiss, I thought I'd save my breath for you

    Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you
    Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now
    Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head, into the clear
    When you go I come loose

    Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm hanging on you
    Give me some rope I'm coming loose, I'm pulling for you now
    Give me some rope I'm coming, out of my head, into the clear
    When you go I come loose
