*Lyrics*

My spirit starts to move when I look in your eyes
And I’m shakin’ baby ‘cause your spell has got me hypnotized

My heart’s beating and it won’t stop
My blood’s rising straight to the top
When I need you I can’t get enough
Oh yeah

I need your honey
Oh I need your honey
I need your honey
Oh I need your honey
I need your honey
Oh I need your honey
I need your honey
Oh I need your honey

Ooh baby
It never feels the same it’s different every time
And I’ll never ever make you wait when you give me the sign

If you feel it don’t hesitate
I am ready I won’t be late
Babe I need you I can’t get enough
Ooh yeah

I need your honey
Oh I need your honey
I need your honey
Oh I need your honey (ah yeah)
I need your honey
Oh I need your honey (everyday girl)
I need your honey
Oh I need your honey

It don’t take much to turn me on
The clothes that you wear the smell of your hair
Takes me over
Oh the passion we brew is a love always new
It’s so right
Oh babe I can’t wait I’ll be jumping straight into your fire
Ohhh

Come let’s do it into the night
I am here to make you feel right
When I need you I can’t get enough
Oh yeah

I need your honey
Oh I need your honey
I need your honey
Oh I need your honey (Ah yeah)
I need your honey
Oh I need your honey (Everyday girl)
I need your honey
Oh I need your honey

(Oh yeah)
I need your honey
Oh I need your honey (I need your honey)
I need your honey
Oh I need your honey (Ooh Ooh)
I need your honey
Oh I need your honey (Aw yeah)
I need your honey
Oh I need your honey

Lyrics:

Hook:
you lift me up
you know my name
you fill my cup
I'll never be the same
this light of mine
I'll let it shine
cause you know my name
I'll never be the same again

Verse 1:
it's been a while since we talked last
let's keep it real
it seems like everyone's forgotten
but you never will
this life’s a rocky path
that we all move along
still putting flowers by my grave
but you don't stay as long
friends come and go
but i ain’t coming back
it took you 8 months and a therapist to finally come to terms with that
journal every morning
every dream that you run into me
might not hear my voice again
but I'll always be listening
So listen one last time
as you reading this letter
happiest I've ever been
was when we promised forever
honeymoon was in July
then i left in September
know that God still has plan
though we no longer together

Hook:
you lift me up
you know my name
you fill my cup
I'll never be the same
this light of mine
I'll let it shine
cause you know my name
I'll never be the same again

Verse 2:
you told me you couldn't keep living if I died first
I told you God will get you through it
that's how life works
nobody knew me like you did
you could read my thoughts
You were the first to know I'm sick
you felt that somethings off
it started out with a cough
but every day it got deeper
doctors said I'd get better
but I just kept getting weaker
all our dreams put to an end
a final kiss goodbye
now I'll keep waiting for eternity
so take your time

Hook:
you lift me up
you know my name
you fill my cup
I'll never be the same
this light of mine
I'll let it shine
cause you know my name
I'll never be the same again

Verse 3
it won't be the same
but it gets easier
keep doing your best
follow the spirit
Jesus gave you
angels guiding your steps
left a piece of me with you
and you’ve been watching it grow
two months until the day
you bring our little girl home
momma and daughter matching outfits
a Christmas alone
missing the feeling of me there
so you still spray my cologne
pushing your stroller through the snow
days are quick to get dark
no one to shovel out the car
so it's been staying in park
don't feel like you're betraying me
by going on dates
single motherhood is heavy
might need help with the weight
keep on singing to our baby
show her pictures of us
as she grows up you can tell her
about the man that I was

"Kaal" lyrics:

I tried shutting it down
I tried everything
But I didn’t realize
I was already too deep in this f****** sinking pit

God knows, I can’t be helped
I thought I had it under control
But I couldn’t be further from the truth

Dancing on the edge of a burning flame
Ignoring the signs
It doesn’t matter who’s to blame
Our time has come to an end

Kaal, yo ho hamro manushyata ko kaal
Farkera heraum hamro kaal
Samjhauda samjhenau aba heraum hamro kaal
Hamro kaal

(काल, यो हो हाम्रो मनुष्यता को काल
फर्केर हेरौं हाम्रो काल
सम्झाउँदा सम्झेनौं अब हेरौं हाम्रो काल)

Feelin like a prisoner
How could I be so blind?
My life’s draining away
While you suck my blood like the leech that you are

Like a cancer
You keep on growing
You’d rather see me burn
Than admit you’re wrong

Dancing on the edge of a burning flame
Ignoring the signs
It doesn’t matter who’s to blame
There is no return

Kaal, hamro manushyata ko kaal
Farkera heraum hamro kaal
Samjhauda samjhenau aba heraum hamro

(काल, हाम्रो मनुष्यता को काल
फर्केर हेरौं हाम्रो काल
सम्झाउँदा सम्झेनौं अब हेरौं हाम्रो काल)

Hamro kaal
Hamro kaal
Hamro kaal

(हाम्रो काल
हाम्रो काल
हाम्रो काल)

Dancing on the edge of a flame
Ignoring the signs
It doesn’t matter who’s to blame
There is no return

Ayo hamro kaal
Ayo hamro kaal
Samjhauda samjhenau
Aba heraum hamro
Kaal

(आयो हाम्रो काल
आयो हाम्रो काल
सम्झाउँदा सम्झेनौं अब हेरौं हाम्रो
काल)

Hamro kaal
(हाम्रो काल)

The HEARTBREAKING Truth Behind Nate Dogg’s TRAGIC Loss Hotney 13 Streams • 2 years ago

Watch the uncut version on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/SNURB

Nate Dogg, born Nathaniel Dwayne Hale, was a West Coast icon and a pioneer of G-funk, whose smooth, soulful hooks helped define an entire era of hip-hop. Emerging from Long Beach alongside his cousin Snoop Dogg and friend Warren G, Nate started out in the group "213" before breaking into the mainstream. His career skyrocketed with Dr. Dre’s The Chronic and the classic Regulate with Warren G, cementing him as hip-hop’s go-to voice for unforgettable hooks.

From “The Next Episode” with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg to “Area Codes” with Ludacris and “21 Questions” with 50 Cent, Nate Dogg’s unique vocals turned tracks into timeless hits. His collaborations spanned across the genre, teaming up with legends like Tupac Shakur, Eminem, and Xzibit. Known for blending R&B soul with a streetwise edge, Nate became the king of hip-hop choruses.

While his career reached legendary heights, Nate also faced legal and health challenges along the way. Despite these struggles, he left an indelible mark on music. But on March 15, 2011, Nate Dogg’s story took a tragic turn, closing a chapter on one of hip-hop’s most influential voices.

#soundgarden #pearljam #templeofthedog #grunge

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

Still a staple of rock radio to this very day, the Seattle supergroup Temple of the Dog would release their only album in April of 1991 that was self titled. What may surprise people is that the album wasn’t a big hit initially and it stirred up controversy and bad feelings afterwards. That’s what we’re going to discuss in today’s video.

Temple of the Dog would get their start almost a year before their record came out in March of 1990 when frontman Andrew Wood of the up and coming seattle rock band mother love bone would pass away due to a drug overdose. Former soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell was friends with Wood and even lived with him for a period of time. According to Gruntruck Drummer Scott Mccullum who talked to cornell around this
time he would reveal in the mark yarm book everybody loves our town. “I remember chris
being really pissed at Andy shortly after he died. I was really surprised by that. He
was really mad and upset that he had done what he did. He was really hurt.”

Cornell who was on the road with Soundgarden at the time would immediately pen two tracks about Wood titled ‘Reach Down’ and ‘Say Hello 2 Heaven’ that would eventually make their way onto the temple of the dog album. Upon writing the songs Cornell would provide demos of the tracks to Wood's girlfriend. Eventually Wood's former bandmates in mother love bone and future pearl jam guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament would hear the tracks and be blown away. They would end up pushing Cornell to release the material. Cornell would recall “My initial thought was I could record them with the ex-members of mother love bone as a tribute single to andy. I got a phone call from jeff saying he thought the songs were amazing and let’s make a whole record. The record would be made up of material Cornell wrote and recorded and material the members of mother love bone recorded before and after Wood’s death.

It was during the rehearsals that Cornell came up with the song hunger strike that he thought was a filler song to round out the album to ten songs. Also present during the rehearsals was singer Eddie Vedder who had just flew in from California to audition with Wood’s former bandmates in a new group they put together called Mookie Blaylock that would eventually rename themselves Pearl Jam.

Cornell would remember “Eddie was sitting there kind of waiting for a mookie blaylock
rehearsal and i was singing parts and he kind of humbly but with some balls walked up to
the mic and started singing the low parts for me because he saw it was kind of hard.

We got through a couple of choruses of him doing that and suddenly the lightbulb came
on in my head. This guys voice is amazing for these low parts. History wrote itself
after that , and that became the first single.” And Vedder would appear on the other tracks "Pushin Forward Back," "Your Savior" and "Four Walled World.

Also contributing to the record would be future pearl jam guitarist mike mcreedy and soundgarden drummer matt cameron. And while the album was meant to be a tribute to Andy wood it did create some bad blood as soundgarden guitarist kim thile (prnounced like tile, but with h) would tell author mark yarm “the initial purpose of temple of the dog to be a tribute to andy wood, was not the concluding purpose. I think to be a tribute to Andy wood there were a lot of people who were close to andy like his brothers who probably should’ve been involved .It became something else, it became a Chris Cornell solo record with some of his friends.” he’d conclude. Andy’s brother kevin wood would express some anger over not being included telling the same author “I fully expected to be included in that project although they never called me. I was pretty pissed off at the time i didn’t get to play on that or even considered to be asked”.

The band would record the record at Seattle’s london bridge studios with renowned producer rick parashar who in the near future would work with both Pearl Jam and alice in chains. Parashar and Cornell would
