SIGOPS

Traffic were an English rock band formed in Birmingham in April 1967 by Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood and Dave Mason. They began as a psychedelic rock group and diversified their sound through the use of instruments such as keyboards (such as the Mellotron and harpsichord), sitar, and various reed instruments, and by incorporating jazz and improvisational techniques in their music. Lyrics: Rainmaker, rainmaker Rainmaker, rainmaker Rainmaker, rainmaker The sky is gray just by the touch of your hand Rainmaker, rainmaker Rainmaker, rainmaker Rainmaker, rainmaker Make me some rain, make all my crops grow tall Rainmaker, rainmaker Rainmaker, rainmaker Rainmaker, rainmaker The sky is gray, the ground is so hard It's been cracked by the sun Rainmaker, you know my work's never done

Lyrics: Sitting in a transit all night long Playing clubs and rocking right on The road's much too long since I've been wasting my time Wish I was home again sipping my wine And I'm gone, gone, gone, I don't care 'Cause I'm gone, gone, gone, I don't care It's where I'm from, I'm on the road again LA to London is a mighty long time Eight hours flying can bring you down Sitting near a suit who's a red-neck going Eyes are moving but there's no life showing Now that I'm home again Things are much better, biding my time with my little go-getter No matter what they say, no matter what they do Gonna end up in the middle of that rock & roll stew Gone, gone, gone...

Traffic drummer Jim Capaldi started writing this song in Morocco, where he was getting ready to make a movie called Nevertheless with actor Michael J. Pollard. The film project fell through, but did lead to one of Traffic's best-known songs. Said Capaldi: "Pollard and I would sit around writing lyrics all day, talking about Bob Dylan and the Band, thinking up ridiculous plots for the movie. Before I left Morocco, Pollard wrote in my book 'The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys.' For me, it summed him up. He had this tremendous rebel attitude. He walked around in his cowboy boots, his leather jacket. At the time he was a heavy little dude. It seemed to sum up all the people of that generation who were just rebels. The 'Low Spark,' for me, was the spirit, high-spirited. You know, standing on a street corner. The low rider. The 'Low Spark' meaning that strong undercurrent at the street level. Lyrics: If you see something that looks like a star And it's shooting up out of the ground And your head is spinning from a loud guitar And you just can't escape from the sound Don't worry too much, it'll happen to you We were children once, playing with toys And the thing that you're hearing is only the sound of The low spark of high-heeled boys The percentage you're paying is too high priced While you're living beyond all your means And the man in the suit has just bought a new car From the profit he's made on your dreams But today you just read that the man was shot dead By a gun that didn't make any noise But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest, was The low spark of high-heeled boys If you had just a minute to breathe And they granted you one final wish Would you ask for something like another chance? Or something sim'lar as this? Don't worry too much It'll happen to you As sure as your sorrows are joys And the thing that disturbs you is only the sound of The low spark of high-heeled boys The percentage you're paying is too high priced While you're living beyond all your means And the man in the suit has just bought a new car From the profit he's made on your dreams But today you just read that the man was shot dead By a gun that didn't make any noise But it wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest, was The low spark of high-heeled boys (heeled boys) If I gave you everything that I owned And asked for nothing in return Would you do the same for me as I would for you? Or take me for a ride And strip me of everything, including my pride But spirit is something that no one destroys And the sound that I'm hearing is only the sound The low spark of high-heeled boys (heeled boys)

"All Along the Watchtower" is strongly identified with the interpretation Jimi Hendrix recorded with the Jimi Hendrix Experience for their third studio album, Electric Ladyland (1968). The Hendrix version, released six months after Bob Dylan's original recording, became a Top 20 single in 1968, received a Grammy Hall of Fame award in 2001, and was ranked 48th in Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2004 (40th in the 2021 version). Lyrics: There must be some way out of here Said the joker to the thief There's too much confusion I can't get no relief Businessmen, they drink my wine Plowmen dig my earth None of them along the line Know what any of it is worth "No reason to get excited" The thief, he kindly spoke "There are many here among us Who feel that life is but a joke" "But you and I, we've been through that And this is not our fate So, let us not talk falsely now The hour is getting late" All along the watchtower Princes kept the view While all the women came and went Barefoot servants, too Outside, in the distance A wildcat did growl Two riders were approaching The wind began to howl

Man in the Box is a song by the American rock band Alice in Chains. It was released as a single in January 1991 after being featured on the group's debut studio album, Facelift (1990). It peaked at No. 18 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance in 1992. The song was included on the compilation albums Nothing Safe: Best of the Box (1999), Music Bank (1999), Greatest Hits (2001), and The Essential Alice in Chains (2006). "Man in the Box" was the second most-played song of the decade on mainstream rock radio between 2010 and 2019. Lyrics: [Verse 1: Layne Staley] I'm the man in the box Buried in my shit [Pre-Chorus: Layne Staley] Won't you come and save me? Save me [Chorus: Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell] Feed my eyes (Can you sew them shut?) Jesus Christ (Deny your maker) He who tries (Will be wasted) Oh, feed my eyes (Now you've sewn them) shut [Verse 2: Layne Staley] I'm the dog who gets beat Shove my nose in shit [Pre-Chorus: Layne Staley] Won't you come and save me? Save me [Chorus: Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell] Feed my eyes (Can you sew them shut?) Jesus Christ (Deny your maker) He who tries (Will be wasted) Oh, feed my eyes (Now you've sewn them) shut [Guitar Solo] [Chorus: Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell] Feed my eyes (Can you sew them shut?) Jesus Christ (Deny your maker) He who tries (Will be wasted) Oh, feed my eyes (Now you've sewn them) shut

Immigrant Song is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. It is built upon a repeating riff and features lyrical references to Norse mythology, with singer Robert Plant's howling vocals mentioning war-making and Valhalla. The song was included on their 1970 album, Led Zeppelin III and released as a single. Several live recordings have also been issued on various Led Zeppelin albums. Other artists have recorded renditions of the song or performed it live. Though Led Zeppelin are typically regarded as an album-oriented group, "Immigrant Song" is one of the band's several hit singles. The song's popularity has led to its inclusion in such compilation albums as Led Zeppelin Remasters (1990) and Early Days: The Best of Led Zeppelin, Vol. 1 (1999). Lyrics: Ah! Ah! We come from the land of the ice and snow From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow The hammer of the gods Will drive our ships to new lands To fight the horde, sing and cry Valhalla, I am coming On we sweep with threshing oar Our only goal will be the western shore Ah! Ah! We come from the land of the ice and snow From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow How soft your fields so green Can whisper tales of gore Of how we calmed the tides of war We are your overlords On we sweep with threshing oar Our only goal will be the western shore So now you'd better stop And rebuild all your ruins For peace and trust can win the day Despite of all your losing

The Pusher" is a rock song written by Hoyt Axton, made popular by the 1969 movie Easy Rider which used Steppenwolf's version to accompany the opening scenes showing drug trafficking. The lyrics of the song distinguish between a dealer in drugs such as marijuana—who "will sell you lots of sweet dreams"—and a pusher of hard drugs such as heroin—a "monster" who does not care "if you live or if you die". Steppenwolf version The song was made popular when rock band Steppenwolf released the song on their 1968 album Steppenwolf. Organist Goldy McJohn, who recorded the original Steppenwolf version, said the version that appears on Early Steppenwolf performed by The Sparrows, a predecessor band to Steppenwolf in 1967 at the Matrix came about when singer John Kay and Jerry Edmonton were late for a performance: Nick and Mars and me started that long version of the Pusher. John and Jerry's flight was late one night at the Avalon Ballroom, so we started and then we perfected it at the "Arc" in Sausalito on New Year's Eve in 1966.

"Born to Be Wild" is a song written by Mars Bonfire and first performed by the band Steppenwolf. Although the lyrics do not specifically mention motorcycles, the song is often invoked in both popular and counter culture to denote a biker appearance or attitude since being featured in the 1969 film Easy Rider. Sometimes, "Born to Be Wild" is described as the first heavy metal song, and the second-verse lyric "heavy metal thunder" marks the first use of this term in rock music (although not as a description of a musical style but rather a motorcycle).

INXS (a phonetic play on "in excess") were an Australian rock band, formed as the Farriss Brothers in 1977 in Sydney. The founding members were bassist Garry Gary Beers, main composer and keyboardist Andrew Farriss, drummer Jon Farriss, guitarist Tim Farriss, lead singer and main lyricist Michael Hutchence, and guitarist and saxophonist Kirk Pengilly. For 20 years, INXS was fronted by Hutchence, whose magnetic stage presence made him the focal point of the band. Initially known for their new wave/pop style, the band later developed a harder pub rock style that included funk and dance elements. In 1984, INXS had their first number-one hit in Australia with "Original Sin". The band achieved international success in the mid-to-late 1980s and early 1990s with the hit albums Listen Like Thieves, Kick, and X, and the singles "What You Need", "Need You Tonight" (the band's only US number-one single), "Devil Inside", "Never Tear Us Apart", "Suicide Blonde" and "New Sensation". After Hutchence's death on 22 November 1997, INXS made appearances with several guest singers, and toured and recorded with Jon Stevens as lead singer, beginning in 2000. In 2005, members of INXS participated in Rock Star: INXS, a reality television series that culminated in the selection of Canadian J.D. Fortune as their new lead singer. Irish singer-songwriter Ciaran Gribbin replaced Fortune as lead singer in 2011. During a concert on 11 November 2012, INXS stated that the performance would be their last, although they did not announce the band's permanent retirement. INXS has won six Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awards, including three for "Best Group" in 1987, 1989 and 1992; the band was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2001. INXS has sold over 75 million albums worldwide, making them one of Australia's highest selling music acts of all time. ** A SIGOPS Compilation ** Tracks: 01 What You Need 02 Never Tear Us Apart 03 Need You Tonight 04 Don't Change 05 Devil Inside 06 Suicide Blond

Aerosmith is an American rock band formed in Boston in 1970. The group consists of Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer, and Brad Whitford. Their style, which is rooted in blues-based hard rock, has also incorporated elements of pop rock, heavy metal, glam metal, and rhythm and blues, and has inspired many subsequent rock artists. Aerosmith is sometimes referred to as "the Bad Boys from Boston" and "America's Greatest Rock and Roll Band". Earlier this month (August 2024), Aerosmith announced to the world that they will no longer be performing together. The band’s lead singer Steven Tyler has been attempting to work through some vocal injuries, but it seems that there’s nothing more that can be done. His voice is so distinct that nobody could replace him, and he and the group likely don’t want to disappoint fans with lackluster performances, so they’ve decided to retire from the road entirely. If anyone thinks this Band is done, take a listen to this compilation. They are only going to get better and better. ** A SIGOPS Compilation ** Tracks: 01 Back In The Saddle 02 Angel 03 Beyond Beautiful 04 Cryin' 05 Dream On 06 Dude Looks Like A Lady 07 Fly Away From Here 08 I Don't Want To Miss A Thing 09 Jaded 10 Janie's Got A Gun 11 Just Push Play 12 Livin' On The Edge 13 Luv Lies 14 Outta Your Head 15 Sunshine 16 Sweet Emotion 17 Trip Hoppin 18 Under My Skin 19 Walk On Water 20 Rag Doll 21 Walk This Way

A song about growing up in America https://www.tonyjacksonmusic.com Lyrics: [Verse 1] Mama used to love to reminisce She'd sat out on the porch on lights like this She'd tell me about her favorite things in life Like honeysuckle, rain, and fireflies [Chorus] Out on that old porch swing I learned everything How to laugh and how to love And who I am and who's up above Everything in between Out on that old porch swing [Verse 2] Sixteen, summertime, and Friday night My daddy's guitar, couple Cokes, and all the guys The hours passed like cars through midnight air The first tunes that I ever played were there [Chorus] Out on that old porch swing I played everything Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stevie Ray Some old Garth Brooks, a little Hank Everything in between Out on that old porch swing [Bridge] And my mind would just go rockin' back and forth To the memories I made on my front porch [Verse 3] The first time that I looked into her eyes She was close enough to press her lips to mine We were swingin' through the night, hand in hand It's where the best chapter in my life began [Chorus] Out on that old porch swing I had everything My first love and my first kiss What I'd wanted and what I'd missed Everything in between Out on that old And I love that old And I miss that old porch swing

Tony Jackson served our country as a Marine and enjoyed a successful career in the banking industry, but with one listen to Tony Jackson’s new album, I’ve Got Songs to Sing, it is obvious country music is his true calling. With a distinctive voice that embodies country’s best traditions yet teems with an infectious energy that propels the genre into the future, Jackson is an old country soul in the body of a rising superstar. https://www.tonyjacksonmusic.com

Now that's different. After building hundreds of these shovel guitars, I've actually never kept one for myself... I always end up selling the one I'm playing after a show, and then build a new one. When a tattoo artist contacted me on Instagram ( @santatintagreece on IG ), wanting to paint one of my guitars for me... I sent him a blank shovel, and he created a masterpiece on it! Around the same time, I was contacted by LeROCKSKIN Guitar Straps, in Italy, who wanted to make me a custom strap. I checked out their work and they can do ANYTHING, so I sent them some images of the artwork SantaTinta had done on my new shovel guitar to see if they could match it in leather. The whole process took 9 months, and the help of several artists from around the world.. but now I have the ULTIMATE SHOVEL GUITAR! I figured the best way to take it for it's first ride around the block, would be to go back where it all started... head out on the back porch, and play some "Crankin' it Up!"

Lyrics: [Verse 1] I've put it all behind me Nothing left to do or doubt Some may say But every silver lining always seems to have a cloud That comes my way [Verse 2] Anticipated pleasure or unexpected pain No choice I fear And love is hard to measure hidden in the rain That's why you'll find me [Chorus] Here all alone and still wondering why Waiting inside for the cold to get colder And here where it's clear that I've wasted my time Hoping to fly cause it's almost over now [Verse 3] People come together, people go their own way Love conquers few And I'll do whatever, I'll say what I need to say Just not for you [Chorus] How many days should I smile with a frown? Cause you're not around with the sun on your shoulders And how many nights must I wake up alone? And know in my soul that it's almost over now [Outro] Our love is like a paper airplane flying in the folded wind Riding high, dipping low And innocence is fair game, I'm hoping I can hold it in Our love will die, I know

At the 35th Grammy Awards ceremony held in 1993, Every Time You Say Goodbye won the Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album. Lyrics: [Verse 1] Look at the sky, baby What do you see? Looks like the tears that I cry Fallin' down like rain on the ground Every time you say goodbye Take a look around now Why don't you feel The way that cold wind stings and bites And your words just are like arrows through my heart Every time you say goodbye [Chorus] There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate I read between the lines of words you can't disguise Love has gone away and put these tears in my eyes [Verse 2] Look at the sky, baby, see how it cries? Ain't it just like my tears Fallin' down like rain on the ground Every time you say goodbye [Chorus] There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate I read between the lines of words you can't disguise Love has gone away and put these tears in my eyes There's a restless feeling knocking at my door today There's a shadow hanging 'round my garden gate I read between the lines of words you can't disguise Love has gone away and put these tears in my eyes

Lyrics: It's been a long time coming As you shed a lonesome tear. Now you're in a wonderama, I wonder what you're doing here. The flame no longer flickers. You're feeling just like a fool. You keep staring into your liquour, Wondering what to do. I don't hardly know you, But I'd be willing to show you I know a way to make you smile. Let me touch you for a while. I'm gonna ruin my black mascara. You're drinking whiskey when it should be wine. You keep looking into that mirror, But to me you're looking really fine. I don't hardly know you, But I'd be willing to show you I know a way to make you laugh at that cowgirl As she's walking out your door. I know a way to make you smile Just let me whisper things You've never heard before. Just let me touch you, baby, Just let me touch you for a while. I don't hardly know you, But I'd be willing to show you I know a way to make you smile. It's been a long time; Let me touch you for a while.

Randall Herman Meisner (March 8, 1946 – July 26, 2023) was an American musician, singer, songwriter, and founding member of the Eagles. Throughout his professional musical career, Meisner's main role was that of bassist and backing high-harmony vocalist as a group member and session musician.

All four of his grandparents were Volga German immigrants. Randy had an elder sister, Carol, who died in 2005. He recalled that his mother was always singing around the house. His maternal grandfather, George Haun, was a violin teacher. Lyrics: Had myself a tall one Waitin' at the bar Wasn't gonna leave here 'Til I had her in the car Moon was growing bright Stars were standing still Waiting for my baby In the cold December chill I been achin' From desire Blood runnin' like a ragin' river But her heart's on fire Couldn't write a letter 'Cause I don't know what to say Couldn't write a song 'Cause I don't know what to play Come a little closer Better hold me tight Gonna roll on down the highway And rock on with my baby all night

“Forget About It” is a mesmerizing song by the renowned American bluegrass-country artist Alison Krauss. Released in 1999 as the title track of her album, this captivating piece explores the emotions of loss, longing, and acceptance. With her breathtaking vocals and heartfelt lyrics, Krauss takes listeners on a poignant journey that resonates deeply with their own experiences of love and heartbreak. The song begins with a gentle melody and an ethereal atmosphere, instantly drawing the listener in. As Krauss begins to sing, her voice evokes vulnerability and bittersweet emotions. The lyrics delve into the aftermath of a broken relationship, where the narrator finds herself struggling to let go of the memories and move on. “Forget about it, I’m admittin’ I was wrong,” she sings, acknowledging her own part in the demise of the relationship. Through her introspective words, Krauss captures the universal struggle of accepting one’s own mistakes and finding closure. The beauty of “Forget About It” lies not only in its lyrical content but also in its melodic structure. The haunting fiddle and acoustic guitar blend seamlessly with Krauss’ exquisite vocals, creating a haunting yet soothing soundscape. The soaring chorus of the song serves as a cathartic release, as the narrator pleads with herself to let go of the past and embrace the healing power of time.
