Green Grass and High Tides is a song by American Southern rock band Outlaws, serving as the tenth and final track on their debut album, Outlaws, released in 1975. The song is one of their most well-known tracks and received extensive play on album-oriented radio stations, despite never being released as a single. It features two extended guitar solos, extending the song to nearly 10 minutes in length. Lyrics: [Verse 1: The Outlaws] In a place you always dream of, where your soul is always free Silver stages, golden curtains, filled my head plain as could be As a rainbow grew around the sun, all my stars above, who died Came somewhere beyond the scene you see These lovely people played for me [Verse 2: The Outlaws] Now, if I let you see this place where stories all ring true Will you let me past your face to see what's really you? It's not for me I ask this question as though I were a king! For you have to love, believe and feel Before the burst of tambourines take you there [Chorus: The Outlaws] Green grass and high tides forever Castles of stone, soul, and glory Lost faces say we adore you As kings and queens bow and play for you [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3: The Outlaws] Those who don't believe me, find your souls and set them free Those who do, believe and know that time will be your key Time and time again I've thanked them for a peace of mind That helped me find myself amongst the music and the rhyme That enchants you there [Chorus: The Outlaws] Green grass and high tides forever Castles of stone, soul, and glory Lost faces say we adore you As kings and queens bow and play for you [Outro] Yeah! Eh! Eh! Yeah! Play for you [Guitar Solo]

Mike + The Mechanics' album Living Years was released on October 28, 1988, and reached number 13 on the US Billboard 200 and number 2 on the UK Albums Chart. The album was recorded between April 18 and August 18, 1988, and features the hit single "The Living Years," which was released in December 1988 as the second single from the album. The song, written by Mike Rutherford and BA Robertson, became a worldwide chart success, topping the US Billboard Hot 100 on March 25, 1989, and reaching number one in Australia, Canada, and Ireland, while peaking at number two in the UK. It also spent four weeks at number one on the US Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. The Living Years addresses a son's regret over unresolved conflict with his now-deceased father, inspired by the shared experience of Rutherford and Robertson, both of whom had lost their fathers around the same time. The song won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically in 1989 and was nominated for four Grammy Awards in 1990, including Record and Song of the Year. Paul Carrack provided the lead vocals on the track, a performance that remains a staple of his live shows due to the personal significance of the lyrics, as his father had died in an industrial accident when he was eleven. Lyrics: [Verse 1] Every generation Blames the one before And all of their frustrations Come beating on your door I know that I'm a prisoner to all my father held so dear I know that I'm a hostage, to all his hopes and fears I just wish I could have told him in the living years Crumpled bits of paper Filled with imperfect thought Stilted conversations I'm afraid that's all we've got You say you just don't see it He says it's perfect sense You just can't get agreement In this present tense We all talk a different language Talking in defence [Chorus] Say it loud (say it loud) Say it clear (say it clear) You can listen as well as you hear It's too late (It's too late) When we die (oh, when we die) To admit we don't see eye to eye [Verse 2] So we open up a quarrel Between the present and the past We only sacrifice the future It's the bitterness that lasts So don't yield to the fortunes You sometimes see as fate It may have a new perspective On a different day And if you don't give up, and don't give in You may just be okay [Chorus] Say it loud (say it loud) Say it clear (say it clear) You can listen as well as you hear It's too late (It's too late) When we die (oh, when we die) To admit we don't see eye to eye [Verse 3] I wasn't there that morning When my father passed away I didn't get to tell him All the things I had to say I think I caught his spirit Later that same year I'm sure I heard his echo In my baby's new born tears I just wish I could have told him In the living years [Chorus] Say it loud (say it loud) Say it clear (say it clear) You can listen as well as you hear It's too late (It's too late) When we die (oh, when we die) To admit we don't see eye to eye

Busy Being Fabulous is the second single by the American rock band Eagles from their 2007 album Long Road out of Eden. Released in January 2008, it is their third Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. The song features Don Henley on lead vocals, and lyrically describes a strained love life between a frustrated male and a female who spends far too much time trying to climb the social ladder, hence the lyric "You were just too busy being fabulous/Too busy to think about us". Lyrics: [Verse 1] I came home to an empty house And I found your little note "Don't wait up for me tonight" And that was all she wrote Do you think I don't know that you're out on the town With all of your high-rolling friends? What do you do when you come up empty? Where do you go when the party ends? [Chorus] And you were just too busy being fabulous Too busy to think about us I don't know what you were dreaming of Somehow you forgot about love And you were just too busy being fabulous, uh-huh [Verse 2] A little time in the country A day or two to slow down A bottle of wine and a walk in the moonlight Maybe some fooling around But you think time is just a magazine And money's just a thrill I've waited so long for you to change your way of living Now I realize that you never will [Chorus] [Verse 3] You tell a joke and everybody's laughing That's something you know how to do You've always been the life of the party But now my baby, the joke is on you Because you were just too busy being fabulous Too busy to think about us Running after something that never comes What in the world are you running from? And you were just too busy being fabulous Too busy to think about us To drink the wine from your winner's cup To notice the children were growing up [Outro] And you were just too busy being fabulous Too busy, too busy Too busy Aw, baby

I Want to Take You Higher" is a song by the soul/rock/funk band Sly and the Family Stone, the B-side to their top 30 hit "Stand!". Unlike most of the other tracks on the Stand! album, "I Want to Take You Higher" is not a message song; instead, it is simply dedicated to music and the feeling one gets from music. Like nearly all of Sly & the Family Stone's songs, Sylvester "Sly Stone" Stewart was credited as the sole songwriter. Lyrics: [Intro] Hey, hey, hey [Verse 1] Beat is gettin' stronger Music gettin' longer, too Music is a-flashin' me I want to, I want to, I want to take you higher I wanna take you higher Baby, baby, baby, light my fire I wanna take you higher [Refrain] Boom laka-laka-laka Boom laka-lak-goon-ka boom Hey, hey, hey, hey [Verse 2] Beat is nitty-gritty Sound is in your city, too Music's still flashin' me Don't ya, don't ya, don't, don't, don't ya wanna get higher?

Mike and the Mechanics (stylised as Mike + The Mechanics) are an English rock supergroup formed in Dover in 1985 by Genesis guitarist Mike Rutherford, initially as a side project during a hiatus period for his other group. They are known for the hit singles "Silent Running", "All I Need Is a Miracle", "Taken In", "The Living Years", "Word of Mouth", and "Over My Shoulder". Initially, the band included Rutherford (the only constant member), vocalists Paul Carrack and Paul Young, keyboardist Adrian Lee, and drummer Peter Van Hooke. After a decade together, Lee and Van Hooke dropped out in 1995 and were not replaced. Following Young's death in 2000, Carrack became the band's sole lead vocalist until 2004 when the band (essentially a duo at this point) dissolved, with Rutherford and Carrack both agreeing the band had "run its course". In 2010, the band was revived with Rutherford headlining a completely new set of musicians, including vocalists Andrew Roachford and Tim Howar. https://mikeandthemechanics.com/ Playlist: All I Need Is A Miracle 00:00 Par Avion 04:12 Silent Running 07:49
