Lyrics:
When you kiss me in the morning
Then you should call me late at night
I never tell you what I’m thinking
And yet you always seem to get it right

Now I’ve been loving
What you’re giving
It never strays away from right
So if you kiss me in the morning
Boy you better call tonight

And I wake up
With this feeling
And my body aches for you
And I know in my heart
This is one I can’t part with
I’m stuck by your side
That’s the truth

So kiss me in the morning
And call me late at night
I never tell you what I’m thinking
And yet you always seem to get it right

Are your lips waiting
To be on my skin
Are your hands longing
To hold me tight
Cause baby I’m here just for the wanting
But you have got to show up here tonight

And I wake up
With this feeling
And my body aches for you
And I know in my heart
This is one I can’t part with
I’m stuck by your side
That’s the truth

Now I’ll keep singing
On this bandstand
Every evening to get it right
So if you kiss me in the morning
Though you might enthrall me
Don’t you baby doll me
You better call me tonight

Dr. Dre & Eminem - Forgot About Dre | The Up In Smoke Tour Hotney 12 Streams • 3 years ago

Watch GIGS on Samsung TV Plus: https://www.samsungtvplus.com?action=play&target_tab=discover&target_id=GBBD3000004VR&target_type=1 This Hip Hop All-Stars show features Dr. Dre, Snoop Doggy Dogg, Eminem, Ice Cube and other special guests in a program offering many surprises, http://smarturl.it/UpInSmokeTourDVD from onstage to backstage to scenes from the road shot by the artists themselves on home video cameras.

Ya'll know me still the same OG
But I been low key
Hated on by most these niggas
With no cheese, no deals and no G's, no wheels and no keys
No boats, no snowmobiles and no ski's
Mad at me cause
I can finally afford to provide my family with groceries
Got a crib with a studio and it's all full of tracks
To add to the wall full of plaques
Hanging up in the office in back of my house like trophies
But ya'll think I'm gonna let my dough freeze
Ho Please
You better bow down on both knees
Who you think taught you to smoke trees
Who you think brought you the o' G's
Eazy-E's Ice Cube's and D.O.C's and Snoop D O double G's
And a group that said muthafuck the police
Gave you a tape full of dope beats
To bump when stroll through in your hood
And when your album sales wasn't doing too good
Who's the doc that they told you to go see
Ya'll better listen up closely
All you niggas that said that I turned pop
Or the Firm flopped
ya'll are the reason Dre ain't been getting no sleep
So fuck ya'll all of ya'll
If ya'll don't like me blow me
Ya'll are gonna keep fucking around with me
And turn me back to the old me

[chorus x2 - Eminem:]
Nowadays everybody wanna talk like they got something to say
But nothing comes out when they move their lips
Just a bunch of gibberish
And motherfuckers act like they forgot about Dre

[Eminem]
So what do you say to somebody you hate
Or anybody tryna bring trouble your way
Wanna resolve things in a bloodier way
Just study your tape of NWA.
One day I was walking by
With a Walkman on
When I caught a guy giving me an awkward eye
And strangled him off in the parking lot with his Karl Kani
I don't give a fuck if it's dark or not
I'm harder than me tryna park a Dodge
But I'm drunk as fuck
Right next to a humongous truck in a two car garage
Hopping out with two broken legs tryna walk it off
Fuck you too bitch call the cops
I'ma kill you and them loud ass motherfucking barking dogs
And when the cops came through
Me and Dre stood next to a burnt down house
With a can full of gas and a hand full of matches
And still weren't found out
From here on out it's the Chronic 2
Starting today and tomorrow's the new
And I'm still loco enough
To choke you to death with a Charleston chew
[Record scratch]
Slim shady hotter than a set of twin babies
In a Mercedes Benz with the windows up
And the temp goes up to the mid 80's
Calling men ladies
Sorry Doc but I been crazy
There is no way that you can save me
It's OK go with him Hailie

[chorus x2]

[Dr Dre]
If it was up to me
You motherfuckers would stop coming up to me
With your hands out looking up to me
Like you want something free
When my last CD was out you wasn't bumping me
But now that I got this little company
Everybody wanna come to me like it was some disease
But you won't get a crumb from me
Cause I'm from the streets of Compton
I told em all
All them little gangstas
Who you think helped mold 'em all
Now you wanna run around and talk about guns
Like I ain't got none
What you think I sold 'em all
Cause I stay well off
Now all I get is hate mail all day sayin' Dre fell off
What, cause I been in the lab with a pen and a pad
Tryna get this damn label off
I ain't having that
This is the millennium of Aftermath
It ain't gonna be nothing after that
So give me one more platinum plaque and fuck rap
You can have it back
So where's all the mad rappers at
It's like a jungle in this habitat
But all you savage cats
Knew that I was strapped with gats
When you were cuddling a cabbage patch

Lyrics

I know when to go out
And when to stay in
Get things done
I catch a paper boy
But things don't really change
I'm standing in the wind
But I never wave bye-bye
But I try
I try
There's no sign of life
It's just the power to charm
I'm lying in the rain
But I never wave bye-bye

But I try
I try

Never going to fall for
(Modern Love)
Walks beside me
(Modern Love)
Walks on by
(Modern Love)
Gets me to the Church on Time
(Church on Time)
Terrifies me
(Church on Time)
Makes me party
(Church on Time)
Puts my trust in God and Man
(God and Man)
No confessions!
(God and Man)
No religion
(God and Man)
Don't believe
In Modern Love

It's not really work
It's just the power to charm
I'm still standing in the wind
But I never wave bye bye

But I try
I try

Never going to fall for
(Modern Love)
Walks beside me
(Modern Love)
Walks on by
(Modern Love)
Gets me to the Church on Time
(Church on Time)
Terrifies me
(Church on Time)
Makes me party
(Church on Time)
Puts my trust in God and Man
(God and Man)
No confessions!
(God and Man)
No religion
(God and Man)
Don't believe
In Modern Love

Modern love - Modern love - Modern love - Modern love
Modern love - Modern love - Modern love - Modern love

Modern love - Walks beside me, Modern love
Modern love - Walks on by, Modern love

About David Bowie:

Blackstar, Bowie’s 28th and final studio album, was released on his 69th birthday, January 8, 2016. David Bowie died on January 10, 2016, two days after the release of Blackstar. His body of work, his influence on the worlds of music, art, fashion, film, theatre and beyond, and his legacy of innovation and reinvention will live forever. 2022 kicks off with Bowie at 75, a celebration of his 75th birthday with the Brilliant Adventure box set, the previously unreleased Toy, the 50th anniversary of Ziggy Stardust and a series of special events.

“Hills And Valleys”
I've walked among the shadows
You wiped my tears away
And I've felt the pain of heartbreak
And I've seen the brighter days
And I've prayed prayers to heaven from my lowest place
And I have held the blessings
God, you give and take away

No matter what I have, Your grace is enough
No matter where I am, I'm standing in Your love

On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the one who set me there
In the valley, I will lift my eyes to the one who sees me there
When I'm standing on the mountain aft, didn't get there on my own
When I'm walking through the valley end, no I am not alone!
You're God of the hills and valleys!
Hills and Valleys!
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone!

I've watched my dreams get broken
In you I hope again!
No matter what I know
Know I'm safe inside Your hand

On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the one who set me there
In the valley, I will lift my eyes to the one who sees me there
When I'm standing on the mountain aft, didn't get there on my own
When I'm walking through the valley end, no I am not alone!
You're God of the hills and valleys!
Hills and Valleys!
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone!

Father, you give and take away
Every joy and every pain
Through it all you will remain
Over it all!

Father, you give and take away
Every joy and every pain
Through it all you will remain
Over it all!

(On the mountains, I will bow my life, yeah)
(In the valley, I will lift my eyes, yeah!)
On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the one who set me there (to the one who set me there)
In the valley, I will lift my eyes to the one who sees me there
When I'm standing on the mountain aft, didn't get there on my own
When I'm walking through the valley end, no I am not alone!
You're God of the hills and valleys!
Hills and Valleys!
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone!
You're God of the hills and valleys!
Hills and Valleys!
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone!

And I will choose to say "Blessed be Your name, yeah, yeah"

And I am not alone

#smashmouth #walkinonthesun

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

Smash Mouth would explode onto the scene in 1997 with their debut record Fush (Foosh) Yu (You) Mang. Propelled by the single Walkin’ on the sun, the song was inescapable. In my home country of Canada the song was featured on a yearly compilation called Big Shiny Tunes. Big shiny tunes was a yearly compilation album featuring the hottest songs put out by our own version of MTV called much music. The commercial for big shiny tunes back in the day was on constant rotation and in addition to appearing on rock radio the song was inescapable. , I always thought to myself what a cherry sounding song. Well I couldn’t have been more wrong. It would turn out that the inspiration for walkin’ on the sun was not cheery and the track would be inspired by a tragedy. That’s what were going to discuss in today’s video.

In 1992 Los Angeles and it’s residents would suffer through riots brought on about by anger caused by rodney king trial. One year prior four police officers were captured on camera beating an african american man rodney king. The officers would stand trial and be acquitted of most of the charges including excessive force and assault. For nearly a week in late april and early may of 1992 riots engulfed los angeles resulting in63 people had been killed,[7] 2,383 had been injured, more than 12,000 had been arrested, and a billion dollars worth of property damage. All while this was going on in Los Angeles, 400 miles to the south Smash Mouth Guitarist Greg Camp would witness the mayhem in on Television and recall to the LA Times “ There was a lot of racial tension everywhere because of the riots,” , “and as I was riding my bicycle through a neighborhood one night, I was kind of afraid--where normally I wouldn’t be afraid.
“I looked around and said, ‘Why does it have to be like this? It’s time to write a protest--a ‘90s let’s-all-get-along type of song.’ And so I kind of wrote it while I was riding my bike.”It would result in Walkin on the sun.
The original demo that Camp had come up with was quite a bit different than the version found on Smash Mouth’s debut record as Camp would tell Songfacts "I wrote it on a chintzy little nylon-string guitar that I had,", "and it sounded to me more like Santana or something. It had bongos and maracas and stuff on the original demo.”
By this point in time Smash mouth hadn’t formed yet. Camp was playing in a a different band at the time who didn’t take a liking to the song recalling to the LA Times
“they hated it,”. “The singer didn’t want to sing it, so that was that.” Camp would take his demo and toss it in his closet where it collected dust. By 1994 Camp would be playing in a new band Smash mouth after joining forces with singer Steve Harwell, Bassist Paul De Lisle and drummer Kevin Coleman. It would be the band’s drummer who found the demo and brought it to the band but Camp was reluctant at first. Camp would credit Coleman for pushing the song through the band telling the LA Times “Nobody else in the band was really that stoked about it,” Camp says. “It wasn’t hard enough, and they didn’t want to get all socially political. But Kevin was adamant. He kind of had to force us into actually learning how to play it, and then when our producer heard it, he said, ‘That’s the one.’ In a separate interview he would tell songfacts how the song underwent some big changes to get it to it’s final version saying We took it to Eric Valentine, who produced the record, and we just put this more locomotive driving beat to it. It was already simple, so we just did the little Doors-y style riff in there and that's what happened. The singer [Steven Harwell] brought it out to where it was supposed to be. He had this gravelly voice, but it still has a melody, so it just worked." The single would be a stand out track from the rest of the album being more pop punk and ska punk.

San Jose station KOME in 1996 began playing the demo of the song Nervous In the Alley. Smash mouth was unsigned at thetime but the attention from local radio gave the band an opportunity to appear alongside No Doubt, 311 and other acts at Kamp KOME Music Festival that same year. The attention resulted i

AleXa (알렉사) is a K-pop singer, dancer and songwriter who grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. A lifelong dancer – having taken ballet, jazz, modern, hip-hop, lyrical and tap lessons since she was just 18 months old, AleXa was first drawn to K-pop because of its strong performance identity. After nearly 1 million fan votes determined her the winner of online talent competition Rising Legends, AleXa signed with Korean artist agency ZB Label, and after once again beating out thousands of contestant hopefuls, was one of the 96 chosen to participate in “PRODUCE 48.” In 2019, AleXa made her multilingual K-pop debut with “Bomb,” which hit #7 on Billboard’s “World Digital Song Sales” chart.

In 2023, AleXa achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first K-pop solo female artist to participate in the prestigious iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball tour. This achievement not only highlights her growing influence in the international music scene but also marks a notable moment in K-pop history, demonstrating the genre's expanding global reach and acceptance. Additionally, AleXa's talent and appeal were further recognized when she became the winner of the first song contest competition on NBC with her single “Wonderland,” showcasing her exceptional musical abilities on a prominent international platform. “Wonderland” ranked #38 on Billboard’s Pop Airplay Chart, propelling AleXa to the 6th most played Korean artist on U.S. Radio, and the first female Korean act to present at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards.

Prior to its release, “sick” had already garnered significant attention, featuring recently on the "Kelly Clarkson Show" and "Good Day New York." The song represents a notable crossover to pop music and serves as the first release from her upcoming album, scheduled to come out this spring. The album promises to showcase AleXa's evolution as an artist and her continuous effort to blend K-pop with various musical influences, creating a unique and compelling sound that appeals to a wide range of listeners.
