Following The River

0 Comments

The band releases, Following The River, from the album, Exile On Main St. (2010 re-release). Jagger:

It’s a good feeling when it all comes together. There’s a track called Following the River, which is a ballad. It’s a got beautiful piano on it, which I didn’t play. And I’d heard this before but it didn’t have any lyrics at all. I could hear different melodies but I didn’t know how I was going to get the melody to fit with this already existing track, which is very heavily piano. And when it came together, I was just singing onto it, I was putting it on the stereo and I was singing along, trying out different melody lines and trying out different words. And when it actually came together, it’s a very good moment, you know? There’s a moment – there’s a frustration, there’s a build-up of this [makes discouraged face], and then try, try, try, try, and there’s a moment when it really comes together for you.

The band releases their song, Dog Days Are Over, from their album, LungsWelch about the song’s video:

I wanted it to be as artistic as possible. It wasn’t about being pretty. I wanted something that was striking and made me look a bit scary.

Water

0 Comments

The artist releases Water, from, American Saturday Night. The song according to Paisley:

deals with a love affair with water that began with an inflatable pool and grew to bigger bodies of water, and eventually all the things that you can do around water that you can’t get away with anywhere else. My songs are certainly influenced by how I see the world through other sets of eyes as well as my own.

The House That Built Me

0 Comments

Lambert releases a single that tells a story about a woman who returns to the steps of her childhood home. In the song, she asks the owner if she may come inside the house for a moment:

Everybody’s had that comfortable home place—or maybe even a person— that made you who you are, but that you can’t ever really go back to. I grew up on an old dairy farm in the country. We had older ladies knock on the door all the time and ask if they could come in because they were raised there, or their husband lived there when they got married… so many different stories. My mom would give them tea, and I’d sit there and listen to them tell the story about our house. And now I know the people that live there. I would be really sad if I could never go back there again… because our dog is buried in the yard, and there are just so many memories. I heard this song and I cried for two hours. When a song hits you like that, you know it’s gonna affect other people the same way.

It’s Just That Way

0 Comments

Jackson releases his single, It’s Just That Way, from his album, Freight Train. Jackson’s daughter, Mattie, wrote the script for the song’s music video. Jackson:

We’re always looking at ideas for videos and I’ve shot about 50 of them, literally 50-something, and you kind of run out of ideas. We had some ideas thrown from directors but nothing knocked me down. And I told all my girls one day – they were all sitting there – I said, ‘Why don’t y’all come up with an idea for this thing? You’re all pretty musical and creative.’ She called me one day from college and said, ‘I’ve got this idea,’ and was telling me about it. And I said, ‘Put it down on something.’ She printed it out… and I showed it to my manager and the record label liked it and everybody wanted to do it, so I got the director to do it. And bam! There it was.

Alejandro

0 Comments

Gaga releases her single Alejandro from her album The Fame Monster. The video was directed by Steven Klein:

I was not thinking in terms (of influences). I saw it more as a combination of cinema and theater.  (It is) about a woman’s desire to resurrect a dead love and who can not face the brutality of her present situation. The pain of living without your true love.

Monster

0 Comments

Gaga releases her single, Monster, from her album, The Fame Monster.

It’s the fear of attachment and the fear of loving something that’s bad for you… If you listen to the lyrics, it’s like being in love with the bad boy all the time, and you keep going back for more.

Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart

The artist releases Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart, from The Element Of Freedom.

I just love that song. I’m excited about that song as I just love the way it’s pushing things forward. It’s a great representation of where I am now. I can play it with tons of music behind me or I can play it with just the piano. Either way it touches, you get it. I’m so very excited by that record.
