Back 2 Back: PINK/KESHA


Raise Your Glass
is a song by singer-songwriter PINK from her first compilation album Greatest Hits...So Far!!!. It was released as the lead single in the United States on October 6, 2010. The song is written by Pink, Max Martin and Shellback and produced by the latter two. It has reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100,becoming Pink's highest charting song since "So What" which topped the chart in 2008, her second highest charting song as a solo artist and her eleventh top ten hit.


We R Who We R
is the latest chart topper song by KESHA, from her first EP, CANNIBAL. The song was released as the EP's lead single and was written by her, with Dr. Luke, Benny Blanco and Ammo who also produced the song. Kesha was inspired to write the song in the wake of news that bullying had led to multiple suicides of gay youth. Hence the message of the song is to inspire people to be themselves, a celebration of anyone deemed quirky or eccentric.



Happy Sunday everyone!!!

BLACK EYED PEAS drops new song!!!

Will.i.am., Fergie, Apl de ap and Taboo popularly known as The BLACK EYED PEAS are back with their robotic-infused thumping sound and mind-melding hooks on THE TIME (Dirty Bit), the lead single from their upcoming 6th studio album The Beginning due out on Novemeber 30 (US).
The song takes a sample of Dirty Dancing jam "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" -- considered as one of pop history’s tastiest slices of cheese — and turns it into an even more over-the-top dance party.

Listen to what’s bound to be their next chart-topper below.

DEAR JOHN...


One of the highlights on Taylor Swift's new record is the emotional "DEAR JOHN" Her voice may be digitally tuned, but the timbre and word emphasis are elegant as she sings about feeling used.

The subject is assumed by many to be about her brief ties to John Mayer, but while nothing is confirmed in the lyrics, the music certainly seems to support this speculation. The two made a song together in 2009, the song was Half Of My Heart and it was for Mayer's album.

Nearing seven minutes in length, Swift takes her time with "Dear John," saving her strongest points for the end; her voice finding strength in the words as the song passes by.

KATY PERRY: FIREWORK (LIVE!)


Check out KATY PERRY's live performance of her latest single FIREWORK, off from her Teenage Dream album.
Perry said that "Firework" is her favorite song on the album. She expressed that:
"People are coming back and almost adopting it as their own anthem, and it's hard, I think, to write an anthem that's not cheesy, and I hope that this could be something in that category. I hope this could be one of those things where it's like, 'Yeah, I want to put my fist up and feel proud and feel strong. But I also don't want to be cheesy, it's a fine line, and I think 'Firework' ... would be like the opus or my one song — if I had to pick a song to play — 'cause it has a great beat. But it also has a fantastic message."

MINE (ACOUSTIC VERSION)


Check out this amazing acoustic version of MINE by Taylor Swift
.

(lyrics)

You were in college working part time waiting tables

Left a small town, never looked back
I was a flight risk with a fear of falling
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts

I say can you believe it?
As we're lying on the couch
The moment I could see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now

Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Flash forward and we're taking on the world together
And there's a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I'm guarded
You say we'll never make my parents' mistakes

But we got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes, this is what I thought about

Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

And I remember that fight, 2:30 a.m.
As everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street

Braced myself for the goodbye
'Cause that's all I've ever known
Then you took me by surprise
You said I'll never leave you alone

You said I remember how we felt sitting by the water
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine

Hold on, make it last
Hold on, never turn back
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Do you believe it?
We're gonna make it now
I can see it
I can see it now

SLIPPED AWAY...


A beautiful piece from Avril Lavigne's Under My Skin album. It's a very sweet song and very sad at the same time. She wrote this song in memory for her grandfather who passed away when she was on a concert tour and tells how much she misses him...and I think it's a perfect song for this day!
