One by Metallica

I wanted to make my last blog post about a song that I like more than most. This is one of my favorite songs because it is so nice to listen to. This blog post is about the song called “One” by Metallica. It is a song that is slower to start off, but becomes faster as the song progresses. This song tells a story, and even though the story is a little dark, it is amazing. The story is based off of movie, in which the main character is at war. The main character is a man who signs up for the war and suffers as a result. He is insanely crippled by what happens to him. After what happens to him, he has almost no senses. That isn’t what I like about the song; I like how the song is sounds so amazing. What I like about the song is that it is like a symphony. It is slow and has all of the instruments in the band blend in to make it sound like a true performance. This flows and moves in a way that is absolutely amazing to listen to. All of the components of this song are arranged in a way that it all shows how amazing this band can be. This band is usually much heavier music, but, for the most part, this song isn’t like that. It is a gripping song that stays in your head for hours on end.

                This isn’t my favorite part of the song though. My favorite part of this song is what the band can do with it. In my opinion, all of the live performances of this band are better than the studio versions. This song is my favorite of all of these songs. I believe that the most amazing part of this song is one thing that they did to preform it live. This band got an orchestra, of around seventy people, to play with them. They revised their own song and made it so that they had an entire album with a full orchestra in the song; the orchestra wasn’t in the background, it was like they were part of the band the entire time. This is one of my favorite bands, and I hope that you can enjoy their music as much as me.

I won’t be posting the lyrics, because they might deter you from the song. The lyrics seem really dark, but the song doesn't seem that way.

Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin

                For my second to last blog, I am going to write about a song called “Stairway to Heaven” by Led Zeppelin. I mentioned this song in one of my earlier posts, and have decided to write about it. It is a song about a woman who had so many things, and was used to having so much, who dies. The line, “and she’s buying stairway to heaven” means that she was a good person who died and is going to heaven, and the author is saying the irony of her having the ability to buy anything, but she dies. This song has a message that isn’t just in the lyrics. The song is very slow paced, almost like it is mourning a death. This shows that the song is meant to be sad, but is still an amazing song. It was, and is, one of the greatest songs there is. It is best known for the melody, and how the song works together in perfect harmony. This song is very long and runs about eight minutes, which is strange, because this song doesn’t have a defined chorus. It repeats some words sometimes but, never has anything more than three lines.

                This song is the most famous Led Zeppelin song that there is. It is what really defines them to anyone who doesn’t listen to them frequently. It is what really made them known to everyone, not just the people who like this music. I think that every band has a defining song, and even though I haven’t talked about this song for every band I have written about, I still think that it exists. I also think that this applies to people; everyone has something that defines them to others. Everyone might not think so, but this is my blog.

"Stairway To Heaven"

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold

And she's buying the stairway to heaven.

When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed

With a word she can get what she came for.

Ooh, ooh, and she's buying the stairway to heaven.

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure

'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.

In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,

Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it makes me wonder.

There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,

And my spirit is crying for leaving.

In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,

And the voices of those who stand looking.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,

Ooh, it really makes me wonder.

And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune

Then the piper will lead us to reason.

And a new day will dawn for those who stand long

And the forests will echo with laughter.

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,

It's just a spring clean for the May queen.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run

There's still time to change the road you're on.

And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,

The piper's calling you to join him,

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know

Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road

Our shadows taller than our soul.

There walks a lady we all know

Who shines white light and wants to show

How everything still turns to gold.

And if you listen very hard

The tune will come to you at last.

When all are one and one is all

To be a rock and not to roll.

And she's buying the stairway to heaven.

Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen

This blog post is about a song called “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen. It is an extremely well known song, that is one of the strangest songs that I know. It is known by so many people, but is easy to follow; so many of these people know the words. Most of the people who listen to this song can sing every word, I even know some people who don’t usually listen to this music to be able to do this. It is about a lower class boy who kills a wealthy man. Throughout the song he is telling his mother what he did, and confessing. The other part if this song is the boy being put on trial, and the jury is trying to decide his fate. He sings about how his life doesn’t matter, because he will never do anything with it. He is a boy who has accepted that he will most likely die and is telling his mother that she shouldn’t be sad. The song is best known for how it is something that is called a rock opera. It varies between a rock ballad and opera style singing. This song is one of the first of its kind, and shows the great diversity of rock and roll. I like how the song is so different from other songs that it shows what this band is about. This song is slower, and is something that’s great to listen to when you are craving something way out there.

This song was written when some people thought that rock and roll music might just die out. I have been told that this song was made to show that rock and roll music could do anything. This song is amazing, and shows the skills of the musicians of that time. This is a song that can show people what can be done, and that others tell you have been told that it won’t happen, doesn’t mean that you can’t try. This song is something that can make a whole new type of music.

Is this the real life?

Is this just fantasy?

Caught in a landslide,

No escape from reality

Open your eyes,

Look up to the skies and see,

I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,

Because I'm easy come, easy go,

Little high, little low,

Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to

me, to me

Mama,

I just killed a man,

Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger

now he's dead

Mama... life had just begun,

But now I've gone and thrown it all away

Mamaaaaa oooh,

Didn't mean to make you cry,

If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,

Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come,

Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all

the time

Goodbye, ev'rybody, I've got to go,

Got to leave you all behind and face the truth

Mamaaaaa oooh,

I don't want to die,

I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

(Guitar solo)

I see a little silhouetto of a man,

Scaramouche! Scaramouche! will you do the

Fandango?!

Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening

me!

Galileo, Galileo

Galileo, Galileo

Galileo, Figaro - magnifico

I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me

He's just a poor boy from a poor family,

Spare him his life from this monstrosity!

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go

Bismilah! No, we will not let you go

(Let him go!) Bismilah! We will not let you go

(Let him go!) Bismilah! We will not let you go

(Let me go) Will not let you go

(Let me go)(Never) Never let you go

(Let me go) Never let you go (Let me go) Ah

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go

Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me,

for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

So you think you can stop me and spit in my

eye?!?!

So you think you can love me and leave me to

die?!?!

Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,

Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta

here!

(Guitar solo)

Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,

Nothing really matters,

Nothing really matters to me...

Any way the wind blows...

Back in Black by AC/DC

This blog post is about a song called “Back in Black” by AC/DC. I wrote that I might do another song by this band, and here it is. This is the song that I think really shows this band. This song is what I use to recognize this band, because it has been used in commercials and advertisements. It is a really popular song for people who like this type of music. This is the first song of this band that I ever heard. I like this song because I am familiar with it, and because of the beat that the song follows. It has a very distinct intro that the rest of the song quickly follows. It is a song that is very unique, and is very simple. I’m not sure what it is about, and I never really cared to find out. I like listening to this song, and that is all I ever cared about. This song is a fun song that I like to listen to while working. It is a song that helps when you need something to wake you up. This band is so different that I haven’t seen another band that ever comes close to mimicking what they sound like. This song is great and it is recognized for being so.

This song to me is meant to sound happy, whether it does or not is you opinion. I have met people who don’t like this song, and it doesn’t matter. I like listening to this song, so other people disliking it doesn’t bug me at all. I already talked about what the band is like, but I wanted to talk about the members for a minute. Two of the members Malcolm and Angus Young are brothers. Brian Johnson is the replacement for someone who died, but I personally think that he is better. Their drummers name is Phil Rudd and the bassist name is Cliff Williams. They are an Australian rock band, and I want to know the next time they come to the U.S.A.

Back in black

 I hit the sack

 I've been too long I'm glad to be back

 Yes I'm, let loose

 From the noose

 That's kept me hanging about

 I keep looking at the sky

 'Cause it's gettin' me high

 Forget the herse 'cause I'll never die

 I got nine lives

 Cat's eyes

 Usin' every one of them and running wild

                'Cause I'm back

Yes, I'm back

 Well, I'm back

 Yes, I'm back

 Well, I'm back, back

 (Well) I'm back in black

 Yes, I'm back in black

 Back in the back

                Of a Cadillac

 Number one with a bullet, I'm a power pack

 With a gang

 They've got to catch me if they want me to hang

 Cause I'm back on the track

 And I'm leadin' the pack

 Nobody's gonna get me on another rap

 So look at me now

 I'm just makin' my play

 Don't try to push your luck, just get out of my way

Chorus

                Well, I'm back, Yes I'm back

 Well, I'm back, Yes I'm back

 Well, I'm back, back

 Well I'm back in black

 Yes I'm back in black

 Hooo yeah

 Ohh yeah

 Yes I am

 Oooh yeah, yeah Oh yeah

 Back in now

 Well I'm back, I'm back

 Back, I'm back

5x

Yes I'm back in black

Bullet with Butterfly Wings by Smashing Pumpkins

This blog post is about a song called “Bullet with Butterfly Wings” by Smashing Pumpkins. This is my favorite song from this band, and I like the pace of the song. It is a fast, quick moving song and is one that I like playing. It is fun to play and a good song to listen to. It does get louder at some parts of the song, but that is only one word at a time. This is a song that, when I play on the guitar, the more I play the better it gets. Playing the beginning more allows you to really feel the rhythm that the song goes on. If you end up listening to this song a lot you will see that it is actually very simple and anyone can make sense of it. The lyrics might have a lesson that the artists wanted to show people, but I can’t make sense of them. It is a song that I enjoy listening to and I think that you will find that it is a song that makes sense musically after a very little amount of time. The intro to the song starts out with one simple line, “The world is a vampire, sent to drain,” this is a bit of a depressing line, but maybe that is what the artist was feeling when they wrote this song. Not all songs are meant to be happy and show that there is good to be done. This might be the case for this song, but then it could just as easily not be what this song means. One of the best places to listen to this song is when you need to get something done quickly. This song has a constant and fast rhythm, and if you can get into what that rhythm is, you can get something done very quickly.

The first time I heard this song was in the car, on the way to school, and when I first listened to it I didn’t enjoy it that much. After that the radio station that I listen to a lot started to play this song frequently, and the more I listened to it, the more I liked it. This isn’t meant to be the song that you like for a week, and then find a new song that you like better, it is meant to be a song that you can listen to for a long time. This is a good band, and if you like this song, good for you, and if you don’t, that’s ok. This song isn’t for everybody and no one will care if you dislike it. This is a band that I recommend looking up, if you like it, and finding out more about them. If you really like it you can find other bands like it, and find a whole new type of music for yourself, that’s how I found the music that I like.

"Bullet With Butterfly Wings"

The world is a vampire, sent to drain

Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames

And what do I get, for my pain?

Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game

Even though I know - I suppose I'll show

All my cool and cold - like old job

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal

But can you fake it, for just one more show?

And what do you want?

I want to change

And what have you got, when you feel the same?

Even though I know - I suppose I'll show

All my cool and cold - like old job

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one

Tell me there's no other one

Jesus was the only son, yeah.

Tell me I'm the chosen one

Jesus was the only son for you

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

And someone will say what is lost can never be saved

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a-

Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a-

Despite all my rage am I still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one

Tell me there's no other one

Jesus was the only son for you

[x4]

And I still believe that I cannot be saved

Stop S.O.P.A.

I am going to stop posting about music for a day and talk about a bill that is being discussed called SOPA. SOPA stands for the Stop Online Piracy Act. I feel that it is important, because it is trying to limit what people can and cannot use. What the act wants to do is, if someone uses a piece of music, or a video, or anything, and they give credit to the creator, the creator can complain and have the person’s site or page taken down. It won’t only affect the person that used the piece, it will also affect the people related to the piece, there are people monitoring the websites who can take down anyone who is related to that person and anyone else who used the one piece. This can stop all online blogging or use of videos that you didn’t make yourself. If you wanted to see something you would have to go to the creator’s site and see it there. It could basically block the majority of “YouTube,” or “Google,” or any website that people use to get common information. This is something that can limit freedom of speech and change the way that people use the internet.

This won’t only affect the online use of something; it can also limit any ads or sharing of information, if the creator doesn’t see it to be fit. This is something that has a long list of people who disagree with this but there are also people who agree with it. There are songs and movies that are copied daily. It is their property and they do deserve the credit, but it can make legal consequences for the smallest of things. Things like a video of someone singing a popular song, or someone talking about something that they love, can get them shut down and make it so they can’t use that site. There are websites that you can go to that will show you what this is really about. I encourage you to find out all that you can about the subject and get you to help with this problem

Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyd

For this blog I am going to write about a song called “Freebird” by Lynyrd Skynyrd. This is a song about a man who is leaving a woman in order to travel the world and be free. It is a slower song that is meant to calm the person listening to it. The song is one of the classic, timeless melodies that do so well at remaining popular. It is a great song and is something that I like listening to whenever I can. The tone of this song is happy, even though the song is singing about something that can be sad, the man is happy because he is following his dream. Many people don’t do what they want and become sad with their lives, because they never got to do what this song is singing about, but this man is doing what he wants, that is the reason that I think this is a happy song. The majority of the song is slower and something that is easy to listen to and is something that can be used to make someone feel better. There are parts of this song that are different. This song is really long, about nine and a half minutes, so I recommend listening to it when you have a bit more time so you don’t have to stop half way through.

One of the things in this song, that is different from many other songs, is that about halfway through the song it starts a very fast guitar solo, and this lasts about four minutes. This solo is very fast and takes up a lot of time. It does become slower at some parts, but it is always at a higher rate than the rest of the song. I like how the band leads up to the solo, and makes you anticipate when it is about to start. I encourage people who listen to this song to try and guess when the solo is about to start. The song ends with every instrumental member of the band playing to rap up the large solo. This is a song that can be found anywhere and is made by a band that I think has many good songs.

If I leave here tomorrow

Would you still remember me?

For I must be traveling on, now

'Cause there's too many places I've got to see

But, if I stayed here with you, girl

Things just couldn't be the same

'Cause I'm as free as a bird now

And this bird you can not change

And this bird you can not change

And this bird you can not change

Lord knows, I can't change

Bye, bye, baby it's been a sweet love

Though this feeling I can't change

But please don't take it so badly

'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame

But, if I stayed here with you girl

Things just couldn't be the same

'Cause I'm as free as a bird now

And this bird you can not change

And the bird you can not change

And this bird you can not change

Lord knows, I can't change

Lord help me, I can't change

Lord I can't change

Won't you fly, free bird, yeah

Afterlife Avenged Sevenfold

This blog post is about a song called “Afterlife” by Avenged Sevenfold. It is a very different song, and is heavier at times than many songs that I listen to. It is a strange song, because they have a violinist at times, and I think that because of the music that they usually make that this is odd. It is a quick song that gets slower whenever the vocalist sings because they want people to be able to understand what he is saying. To be honest, I have no idea what this song is about, because it moves so quickly and the lyrics appear to be happy, and then they get regretful. This confuses me, because the tempo and tone of the song are angry and fierce. This is the type of song that people like to listen to, because it makes them forget about something that they are mad about, or something that makes them sad. Be warned that the song does get to be very heavy, by most people’s standards, not by mine, and most people might want to be ready to turn down the volume at certain points.

This is a really cool band that has songs that are like this one. If you look at the bands name, you can see that it means to avenge someone sevenfold of what happened to them. Even though that is what I think it means I do believe that this is correct. This is a song that can mean a lot of things to many people, because of how many emotions it has in one song. It can be happy, or mad, or sad, depending on what part of the song you are analyzing. This is a band that I don’t listen to a lot, but it is one that I like. If you like this song I encourage you to look into the band and see what they are like.

"Afterlife"

Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you've seen.

So unsure but it seems, 'cause we've been waiting for you.

Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste.

Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway.

I see a distant light, but girl this can't be right.

Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be,

Arrived too early.

And when I think of all the places I just don't belong,

I've come to grips with life and realize this is going too far.

I don't belong here, we gotta move on dear, escape from this afterlife.

'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here.

A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain.

Can leave this place but refrain, 'cause we've been waiting for you.

Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste.

Of your afterlife here so stay, you'll be back here soon anyway.

This peace on earth's not right (with my back against the wall).

No pain or sign of time (I'm much too young to fall).

So out of place don't wanna stay, I feel wrong and that's my sign.

I've made up my mind.

Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye.

Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life.

I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife.

'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here.

Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you.

This place full of peace and light, and I hoped you might,

Take me back inside, when the time is right.

Loved ones back home all crying 'cause they're already missing me.

I pray by the grace of God that there's somebody listening.

Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be.

(I am unbroken, I'm choking on this ecstasy.)

Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me

(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live.)

[Screaming and maniacal laughter]

I don't belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife.

'Cause this time I'm right to move on and on, far away from here.

Got nothing against you and surely I'll miss you.

This place full of peace and light, and I hoped you might,

Take me back inside when the time is right.

Loser by Three Doors Down

This blog post will be about a song called “Loser” by Three Doors Down. This song doesn’t directly say anything but it is about an addict, it doesn’t say what kind but that is what it is speaking about. I think that it is talking about a man who is a drug addict, and because of that he is calling himself a loser. During the song it talks about him dying soon, I think that this means that because he is an addict, he believes that he will die soon, and instead of fighting the addiction he has accepted the idea of death. If you listen to this song you may notice that it has a sound that sounds a lot like scratching. One of the reasons that I like this song is because it is ≥considerably hard to fit that into a song and make it still sound fluid and not like a metal song.

This is a good calming song, which even though it has a meaning to is still nice to listen to. I asked a my friend, named Kelly, about this song and she said, “ I really like this song and this band. When I first got the album I listened to it for like three weeks straight until Kelli, (my mom), made me stop. This is a really good song and I didn’t even realize what it was about until you mentioned it.” This is a really good song, and is a good song to listen to if you in the car. It is one of the places that I listen to this band the most.
"Loser"

Breathe in right away.

Nothing seems to fill this place.

I need this every time

So take your lies, get off my case.

Someday I will find

A love that flows through me like this

This will fall away, this will fall away.

[Chorus]

You're getting closer

To pushing me off of life's little edge

'Cause I'm a loser

And sooner or later you know I'll be dead

You're getting closer

You're holding the rope and I'm taking the fall

'Cause I'm a loser, I'm a loser, yeah.

This is getting old.

I can't break these chains that I hold

My body's growing cold

There's nothing left of this mind or my soul.

Addiction needs a pacifier, the buzz of this poison is taking me higher.

This will fall away, this will fall away.

[Chorus: x3]

Heartbreaker by Led Zeppelin

The song that I will write about know is called “Heartbreaker” by Led Zeppelin. Led Zeppelin is an older band that is most famous for their song called “Stairway to Heaven.” This song is more of a rhythm song, meaning that the rhythm of the music is what stands out the most.  It is an older song that I like very much. There is another type of “Heartbreaker” by Gun’s and Roses, but I favor this one more. Roughly Mid-song it has a very fast guitar solo, and takes up a lot of time in the song. This song is very easy to learn, because it is simple, as many famous songs are. One of the best things with this song is that it has a very easy beat. Anyone can follow this song if they hear it even a little bit. Like many songs from Led Zeppelin, it isn’t fast or iconic, but it is a song that is well known.

It is about a bad, emotionally abusive girl. Like many songs from that time it is a song that is meant to make the audience happy, but is actually about a thing that is sad. It is a song that does signify some things, but never actually says it. Anyone can listen to this song and there is really no need to hide it from a kid. Many people like to hide this kind of music from kids, but you don’t need to.

When I listen to this song I listen mainly to the way that the guitarist keeps the song interesting, for me, not to the lyrics. If someone asked me to tell them the lyrics I really couldn’t. That is the reason that I chose this song. It makes people notice the band, instead of focusing on the vocalist. This song is one that I listen to when I am bored and need to do something. It is also a great song because it can get other bad songs, which are stuck in your head, out. The song is so simple that it gets stuck in your head which is good, if you like listening to it.

Hey fellas, have you heard the news? You know that Annie's back in town?

It won't take long just watch and see how the fellas lay their money down.

Her style is new but the face is the same as it was so long ago,

But from her eyes, a different smile like that of one who knows.

Well, it's been ten years and maybe more since I first set eyes on you.

The best years of my life gone by, here I am alone and blue.

Some people cry and some people die by the wicked ways of love;

But I'll just keep on rollin' along with the grace of the Lord above.

People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat,

I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at.

One thing I do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do,

Work so hard I couldn't unwind, get some money saved;

Abuse my love a thousand times, however hard I tried.

Heartbreaker, your time has come, can't take your evil way;

Go away, Heartbreaker.

Heartbreaker!

Heartbreaker!

Heart!

Thunderstruck by AC/DC

This post will be about a song called, “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC. This is a really interesting song. It is very fast and the guitar licks are one of my favorites. I like the way that this song starts right off with a fast pace rhythm that shows the guitarists skills. I know from experience that even though the guitar is surprisingly simple it takes a lot of practice. This song was written by one of my favorite band AC/DC (I have been told that the name means Alternating Current Direct Current, two types of electricity.) I like the back story behind this song. For a project in when I was younger I chose to research this band. I found out that this song was written because one of the band members was in a plane that was struck by lightning and nearly crashed.  That experience was inspiration to one of my favorite songs. I always liked how AC/DC is always very electric, hence the name, and always have a very high energy. The band has been around for a long time by today’s standards. The members of the band are all around their early sixties.

The tone of the song is happy and supposed to make the audience feel the energy. One of the most prominent parts of the song is the singer’s voice. It is one of the most unique voices I have ever heard. Whenever I hear songs from this band I can always tell immediately, because he is the only person I have ever heard with a voice like his. Even though I like this song a lot I also like other of their songs more. I chose to write about this because I think that it is one of their defining songs that I think defines them the best.

I was caught

In the middle of a railroad track (Thunder)

And I knew there was no turning back (Thunder)

My mind raced

And I thought what could I do (Thunder)

And I knew

There was no help, no help from you (Thunder)

Sound of the drums

Beatin' in my heart

The thunder of guns

Tore me apart

You've been - thunderstruck

Went down the highway

Broke the limit, we hit the town

Went through to Texas, yeah Texas

And we had some fun

We met some girls

Some dancers who gave a good time

Broke all the rules, played all the fools

Yeah, yeah, they, they, they blew our minds

I was shakin' at the knees

Could I come again please?

Yeah the ladies were too kind

You've been - thunderstruck, thunderstruck

Yeah yeah yeah, thunderstruck

Oh, thunderstruck

Yeah

Now we're shaking at the knees

Could I come again please?

Thunderstruck, thunderstruck

Yeah yeah yeah, thunderstruck

Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah

Said yeah, it's alright

We're doing fine

Yeah, it's alright

We're doing fine

So fine

Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Tunderstruck, thunderstruck, thunderstruck

Whoa baby, baby, thunderstruck

You've been thunderstruck, thunderstruck

Thunderstruck, thunderstruck

You've been thunderstruck
