Dionne Warwick: "Walk On By" (Pebble Mill 1984)

The original version of "Walk On By" was recorded at the same December 1963 session that yielded "Anyone Who Had a Heart", which, in 1964, became Warwick's second Top Ten hit. Released in April of that year, "Walk on By" became a landmark single, reaching number six on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number one hit Cashbox's R&B chart. (Billboard did not print rhythm and blues charts during 1964, the year of the song's peak performance.) The song also reached the top 10 in a brief run on Billboard's easy listening survey.

Warwick also recorded a German version of the song, entitled "Geh Vorbei".


- Lyrics:

If you see me walkin' down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve in private 'cause each time I see
I break down and cry, I cry
Walk on by

I just can't get over losin' you
And so if I seem, broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride, that's all that I have left
So let me hide the tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by

If you see me walkin' down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by

Make believe that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve in private 'cause each time I see
I break down and cry, I cry
Walk on by

I just can't get over losin' you
And so if I seem, broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by

Foolish pride, that's all that I have left
So let me hide the tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by, Walk on by

- Lyrics:

I still hear your voice, when you sleep next to me.
I still feel your touch in my dreams.
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why.
Without you it's hard to survive.

[Refrain] :
Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I can fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side.
Cause everytime we touch, I feel this static.
And everytime we kiss, I reach for the sky.
Can't you hear my heart beat so.
I can't let you go.
Want you in my life.

Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky.
They wipe away tears that I cry.
The good and the bad times, we've been through them all.
You make me rise when I fall.

[Refrain]

Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling.
And everytime we kiss I swear I could fly.
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last.
Need you by my side

- Lyrics:

Oh we were playing in the Roman ruins
In the town of Arles
She said “Parlez-vous Francais?”
I said “Oui, je parle”
She asked me for some cigarettes
I gave her my per diem
Well then she bought a pack of Gauloises
And we headed to the Coliseum
Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
Oooh, gypsy girl


Well the night was hot and dangerous
Like a forest fire
The stage was lit in blood red lights
The band sang like a choir
Then later on we all hung out
At Van Gogh’s Cafe De Nuit
Well we drank ‘til no one was left
Just a gypsy girl and me


Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
Oooh, gypsy girl and me


She didn’t speak a word of English
Not even yes or no
But she followed me to the Grand Hotel
Hand in hand real slow
She kissed me with her eyes tight shut
I couldn’t help but stare
Because her face was like a Renoir
She even had red hair


Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
Oooh, gypsy girl and me


Well we stayed in each other’s arms
Tumblin’ through the night
Her delicate skin like porcelain
Lit by the pale moonlight
We made love in every way
Yes we set each other free
Well we didn’t stop ‘til the morning come
The gypsy girl and m


Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
Oh gypsy girl (ooh ooh)
Oooh, gypsy girl and me


Then I told her that I had to leave
We were playing in Marseille
She smiled and kissed me once Then she said “Aley”
I lay by the window
Trying to catch some air
The room was thick with sparkling dust
From the village square
The sun was slowly rising
Casting shadows from the trees
I could hear the cowboys talking
About the gypsy girl and me


She brought a friend to see the show
She was a gypsy too
We laughed together all night long
She showed me her tattoo
It covered her from head to toe
In religious imagery
And on her back in an angel’s arms
Was the gypsy girl and me

Paul Anka: "Hold Me Till The Morning Comes" (Live from Japan 1983)

Paul Albert Anka, OC (born July 30, 1941) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and actor.

Anka first became famous as a teen idol in the late 1950s and 1960s with hit songs like "Diana'", "Lonely Boy", and "Put Your Head on My Shoulder". He went on to write such well-known music as the theme for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and one of Tom Jones's biggest hits, "She's a Lady", and the English lyrics for Frank Sinatra's signature song, "My Way" (originally French song "Comme d'habitude").

In 1983, he co-wrote with Michael Jackson the song "I Never Heard", which was retitled and released in 2009 under the name "This Is It". An additional song that Jackson co-wrote with Anka from this 1983 session, "Love Never Felt So Good", has since been discovered, and will be released in the near future. The song was also released by Johnny Mathis in 1984.

Anka became a naturalized US citizen in 1990. His final Top-40 hit in the U.S. to date was Hold Me Til The Mornin' Comes that debuted in the summer of 1983, which included backing vocals from then-Chicago frontman Peter Cetera.


- Lyrics:

Two broken hearts
Neither one knows what to say
Both falling for love
But not quite all the way

Look at us now
Reaching back to yesterday
Longing to know
If they are the ones to stay

After all I'm the one who said we're through
Now I can't live without anymore
Out there lost is the dream that can't come true
Is it worth the reaching for
Don't you want me anymore, darling

Hold me till the morning comes
Until I see your smile
Take all the sadness from your eyes
Hold me till the morning sun
Let me stay we've just begun

oooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh

Where shall we start
Tender words that we can share
Different believes
In time we will get there

Look at us now
Wanting more than words can say
Both falling for love
But distant all the way

Out there lost are the words I still love you
But they worth the reaching for
Do you love me anymore, darling

(chorus)

Hold me till the morning comes
Until I see your smile
Take all the sadness from your eyes
Hold me till the morning sun
Let me stay we've just begun
I wanna stay with you

(instrumental)

(chorus)

Would you love me in the morning
We used to be there in the morning
Would you leave without a warning
Say you love me too

(3 times fade out)

Weezer: "Island In The Sun" (2001)

"Island in the Sun" is a song by American alternative rock band Weezer. It is the second single from the band's album, Weezer (The Green Album). "Island in the Sun" was not originally planned to be on the album, yet producer Ric Ocasek fought for the song and it ended up on the final product. It was a successful radio single and perhaps the band's biggest hit ever outside of the United States, reaching the Top 40 in the UK at number 31, the Top 20 in France at number 17, and Triple J Hottest 100 in Australia at number 7. "Island in the Sun" is also the most-licensed track in the Weezer catalog. Pitchfork Media named it the 495th greatest song of the 2000s.

In late 2001, the band reworked the song's solo for their live show. In 2005, Rivers Cuomo would often open the band's encore by playing "Island in the Sun" alone on an acoustic guitar in the back of the venue they were playing. On some nights, he would crowd surf back up the stage.

This song is much lighter than their previous, darker single "Hash Pipe"


- Lyrics:

hip hip
hip hip
hip hip
hip hip

When you’re on a holiday
You can’t find the words to say
All the things that come to you
And I wanna feel it too

On an island in the sun
We’ll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can’t control my brain

hip hip
hip hip

When you’re on a golden sea
You don’t need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone

On an island in the sun
We’ll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can’t control my brain

We’ll run away together
We’ll spend some time forever
We’ll never feel bad anymore

hip hip
hip hip
hip hip

On an island in the sun
We’ll be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can’t control my brain

We’ll run away together
We’ll spend some time forever
We’ll never feel bad anymore

Hip Hip

We’ll never feel bad anymore

We'll never feel bad anymore
