"Inside Stories"

"The Man Who Cant Be Moved"
by The Script

Danny O Donoghue wants to be clear about one thing. I am proud of all the songs on the new album insists the lead singer of The Script. But some are more personal than others.
One of the tracks on the album entitled simply 3 is called Six Degrees Of Separation:
it is about his traumatic split from his ex-girlfriend, model Irma Mali. Another,

If You Could See Me Now, is an emotional tribute to Dannys late father and to guitarist Mark Sheehans parents, who died within months of each other when he was just 12 years old. I havent played it for anybody and I need a minute with that song Mark admits. I cant even tell you if it is a good song or not. Its a page from my diary, I produced and wrote it but I have to walk away from it. It is just a weird one.

It is a touchy subject for me I lost both my parents quite young and it was a real dark point in my life. Like Danny said, it is something I have never talked about until now. I dont know if
we will ever find the right moment to play that live at all. I can’t even picture playing it
live because it is so personal.

"The Scientist"
by Coldplay

This song is about a scientist who is so caught up in his work that he neglects his girlfriend,
but realizes it eventually and wants to "go back to the start" and begin fresh. The music video shows lead singer Chris Martin driving with his girlfriend. They get into an accident, she goes flying through the windshield and dies. Chris just walks out of the car, out of the forest, and into a city. This is all backwards. The video was shot normal direction and then played backwards, while Chris sang the lyrics to the song backwards.

In a track-by-track reveal Martin explained the development of the song: "That's just about girls. It's weird that whatever else is on your mind, whether it's the downfall of global economics or terrible environmental troubles, the thing that always gets you most is when you fancy someone."

"Im Coming Home"
by Diddy Dirty Money feat Skylay Grey

Diddy is reflecting back on moments in his life, particularly the loss of his close friend and artist The Notorious B.I.G., in this hitsingle off his 2010 album, Last Train to Paris. "Coming Home" goes to everybody out there who's going through a struggle or obstacle. I've been lost in life, I'm still lost in life in these sense of trying to find your way back to that person who your grandmother or father wanted you to be. Sometimes you get lost through drug addiction or you break up with up your partner or remission from cancer etc. you struggle to find your way back to yourself. That's what "Coming Home" is about.

"Fix You"
by Coldplay

This song deals with true love, helping someone in your time of need,
and learning from your mistakes. Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin hasnt
spoken about the specific inspiration for the song, but it could be directed to his wife,
Gwyneth Paltrow, who was dealing with the death of her father in 2002. In USA Today,
Martin did say where the song started: "My father-in-law Bruce Paltrow bought
this big keyboard just before he died. No one had ever plugged it in. I plugged it in,
and there was this incredible sound Id never heard before.
All these songs poured out from this one sound. Something has to inspire you,
and something else takes over. It's very cloudy."

"See You Again"
by Wiz Khalifa feat Charlie Puth

This song is all about friendship. When you make new friendships,
it's like opening a new passageway to a successful life.
Friendship is like a home. You will always have a home in people you love.
And as the song says, Every road you take will always lead you home.
Even if these two friends had to part, they will always be together
no matter what because they share a home together in their friendship.
In the latest movie, "FF7", Dom said "No matter where you are whether
a quarter mile away or halfway across the world, you will always be my brother,
and you will always be with me." The whole cast became really great friends
after all these seven movies. So it really is a great loss for them
because not only did they lose a great actor, they also loss a great friend.
So let us share a moment of silence for the death of Paul Walker. RIP Paul Walker.

"Ever Enough"
by A Rocket to the Moon

On Friday A Rocket to the Moon Explain Ever Enough was a top story.
Here is the recap: (CBS Local) Gearing up for the release of their
forthcoming album Wild and Free, A Rocket to the Moon sat down with
CBS Local and filled us in on the story behind their new single Ever Enough.
A piano infused track, the song asserts, I will always be yours/Forever
and more/Through the push and the pull/I still drown in your love.
Frontman Nick Santino went on to explain how Ever Enough is deep in meaning.

Its a song about just trying to reassure somebody,
No matter what happens I will always be here for you even
though you dont think so. I will always be around for you, he said.

"Locked Away"
by RIP City feat Adam Levine

The lyric video, filmed in and around an old Volkswagon bug,
portrays life as a journey you have to make together.
You will both have moments of doubt Rock City and Adam Levine
sing the lyrics, but the girl is the one who writes them
on the car's windows and headlights with pink lipstick.
In the end, they both get in, and drive off together.
The images that interrupt the lyric video halfway through
and at the very end are strips of film with the writing sound ratio,
color, roll no., etc. - backwards for projection.
It's not just a journey. It's also something that others will watch,
and hopefully be able to imitate.

Do they love your money? Your style? Your success?
Your strength? Or you? The only answer to that nagging doubt
is the music itself - happy, self-assured, and serene.
R. City and Adam Levine think she's a keeper.

"7 Years""
by Lukas Graham

Well, its a strange song in the sense it doesnt have a hook,
and it doesnt have like a fixed structure, which I kinda like about it.
It just has this folky vibe that progresses through the ages
and lets you grow with the song. Although Graham is in his 20s,
he says the song appeals to people of any age. I think no matter how old
you are if you are 80, maybe you feel like the song wasnt written for you.
But yeah, a lot of people can relate to it, and that’s what
I experience when I hear people talk about it. Its their feelings
and their story that they portray through something I wrote.
It covers a subject not normally discussed in pop music
The songs basically just about becoming a good father,
and being such a good father that your children would want to come
and visit you when youre an old, boring man. I had a really,
really cool father, so thats what I wanna be too.

"Hall of Fame"
by The Script feat Will.I.Am

Hall of Fame is a wonderful song that came out around 2 years ago by my favorite band The Script and Black-Eyed Peas singer Will.i.am. Its about, as The Script has said, ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Overall, this song is about following your dreams,
no matter what anyone else says and succeeding.
By succeeding, you can make an impact on people around you,
and be remembered for it. This song gives recognition to everyday
people doing everyday things and how everything they do
is amazing and the impact it has on other people.
To me, Hall of Fame means just doing amazing things
for other people and doing everything you want to do and achieve,
and making a mark or impact on other peoples
lives and being remembered for that.
