Girl On Fire

 ALICIA KEYS - GIRL ON FIRE

She's just a girl, and she's on fire
 Hotter than a fantasy, longer like a highway
 She's living in a world, and it's on fire
 Feeling the catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away

 Oh, she got both feet on the ground
 And she's burning it down
 Oh, she got her head in the clouds
 And she's not backing down

 This girl is on fire
 This girl is on fire
 She's walking on fire
 This girl is on fire

 Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
 So bright, she can burn your eyes
 Better look the other way
 You can try but you'll never forget her name
 She's on top of the world
 Hottest of the hottest girls say

 Oh, we got our feet on the ground
 And we're burning it down
 Oh, got our head in the clouds
 And we're not coming down

 This girl is on fire
 This girl is on fire
 She's walking on fire
 This girl is on fire

 Everybody stands, as she goes by
 Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
 Watch her when she's lighting up the night
 Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
 And it's a lonely world
 But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby

 This girl is on fire
 This girl is on fire
 She's walking on fire
 This girl is on fire

 Oh, oh, oh...

 She's just a girl, and she's on fire

A million kisses late

I recently play this song over and over again, and this is so touching my heart, it blew me away!!
so jazzy and it makes me feel blue, hell yeah but I am okay!!
Matt Duck has a unique voice and great music ever, I just love it all the way!!

 

  A million kisses late - Matt Dusk

Didn’t know how much I loved her
I’ll never know what might have been
I’d give anything to hold her
And have her back again.

I never should’a let her go
So many things I should’a let her know
Should’a held her in my arms said baby no, please wait
I woke up to find, she had changed her mind
I’d run out of time, ‘bout a million kisses late.

No i’m no good without her
And I feel lost out on the streets
Ask all out friends about her
And the news is bittersweet.

I never should’a let her go
So many things I should’a let her know
Should’a held her in my arms said baby no, please wait
I woke up to find, she had changed her mind
I’d run out of time, ‘bout a million kisses late.

I let her walk away, I lost it all that day
Don’t make the same mistake

I never should’a let her go
So many things I should’a let her know
Should’a held her in my arms said baby no, please wait
I woke up to find, she had changed her mind
I’d run out of time, ‘bout a million kisses too late. 

TRIUMPHANT (GET 'EM)

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! Today is the  “Triumphant” day!!!
I was waking up so early this morning to stream Mariah's new single and just found out the lyric and it's beyond great!! I love it so much!!
Here it is:

Mariah Carey feat. Rick Ross & Meek Mill - Triumphant (Get Em) 

Triumphant (Get ‘Em)
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
They told me get em, I got em,
I swear this word to my father
And the only way to make it to the top
If you go and get it from the bottom
And I ain’t never asked for no hand outs
You won’t carry me, no Mariah
These haters love when I was dead broke
But they ain’t made at me,
I’m on fire and I’m gon’ burn
And I ain’t gon’ learn,
I remember they said that it ain’t my turn
But it ain’t confirmed, then the tables turned
Just look at me now, try to hold me down
But I ain’t gon’ stop, cause I’m gon’ climb
To the mountain top, to the mountain top, now let go
Can’t fall down stay triumphant keep on living
Stay on your toes
Get off the ropes
Don’t let em ever count you out
Realize all things are possible
In your heart who’s the greatest
Reach for the stars
Be all that you are
And make em all fall down
Path that I choose flashing camera’s as I pose
Throwing big money as she dances on the pole
Lime green Lamborghini dances in the road
License still suspended, no I never stop for tolls
Born slick talker, twice a week shopper
Blow a hundred wreck she don’t know a footlocker
Red bottom boss house big as Baltimore
With a blonde bombshell tryin to bomb with your boy
In the James Bond Beamer chrome wheel two seater
Smoking like Pimp C, spoken like a trill ni**a
On a cloudy day baby I can make it rain
Rubber band, 50 grand bet it brighten up your day
Came from humble beginnings
Then was Hummers and Benzes
Now it’s hundred and millions this is only the beginning
A don, a diva, the bomb achiever
The one believer, the game gets deeper
Can’t fall down stay triumphant keep on living
Stay on your toes
Get off the ropes
Don’t let em ever count you out
Realize all things are possible
In your heart who’s the greatest
Reach for the stars
Be all that you are
And make em all fall down
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
Get Em, Get Em, Get Em (Go)
Hit Em, Hit Em, Hit Em (Go)
Can’t fall down now, so even when clouds surround you
And everyone seems to doubt you
Baby still know who you are
So you gotta keep on climbing
In spite of the chains that bind you
You can see the mountain top
It’s not too far
Can’t fall down stay triumphant keep on living
Stay on your toes
Get off the rope
Don’t let em ever count you out
Realize all things are possible
In your heart who’s the greatest
Reach for the stars
Be all that you are
And make em all fall down
Can’t fall down stay triumphant keep on living
(get em, get em, get em)
Stay on your toes get off the ropes
(stay on your toes)
Don’t let em ever count you out
(no, no, no, no)
(get em, get em, get em, get em go)
Realize all things are possible
In your heart who’s the greatest
Reach for the stars
Be all that you are
And make em all fall down

NEW DAY

DAMN! I just can't believe its the end of June already. It just started. Where has it gone, see you again June and welcome July!!

Semua yang telah berlalu biarlah berlalu, biarlah waktu yang akan menjawab semua tanda tanya dikemudian hari seiring dia berjalan.

 This is a good news from you guys! you know what? ALICIA KEYS is coming with her brand new single "New Day" from her up coming album, lagu ini seolah mengambarkan sesuatu kesuksesan baru, yah memang belom tampak sekarang tapi pasti dan saya yakin itu!!

Alicia Keys releases “New Day,’ first song from the singer’s new album

Earlier this week Alicia Keys posted a message to YouTube in which she promised her fans that they would be hearing material from her forthcoming new album very soon. “We have a little bit of time to wait, but it’s really approaching,” the R&B singer said. She didn’t make the public wait long: on Thursday Keys leaked “New Day,” the first track from the still-untitled follow up to 2009’s The Element of Freedom. Listen to the new Alicia Keys cut “New Day” below.

.

As for the song itself, it’s jittery, fast-paced and has a reggae-ish feel to it. It’s also quite inspirational, which could be due in large part to the major positive life events the singer has experienced in the past couple years — namely her marriage to producer Swizz Beatz in 2010 and the birth of their son the same year. “There’s no limitation, no / Fill up your life/ Let me see your hands up,” Keys sings.
.
In the YouTube video from this week Keys went into detail about the profound effect the eight-month recording process for her forthcoming album has had upon her. “Everything is new, from being married and having a baby, and what that’s done for me in just giving me a sense of real stability, real connection, grounding, reason, and purpose,” she explained. “So much of the music that you’re going to hear is talking about what that feels like, what we’re all going through, all of us … That empowerment, that freedom is definitely something that’s reflected in this album.”

Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart

Even if you were a million miles away
I could still feel you in my bed
Near me, touch me, feel me
And even at the bottom of the sea
I could still hear inside my head
Tellin' me, touch me, feel me

And all the time you were tellin' me lies

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

Have you ever tried sleeping with a broken heart?
Well, you could try sleeping in my bed

Lonely, on me nobody ever shut it down like you
You want a crown
You made my body feel heaven bound
Why don't you hold me
Near me, I thought you told me
You'd never leave me

Looking in the sky I could see your face
And I know right where I fit in
Take me, make me, you know that I'll always be in love
With you
Right til the end OOh

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold on to the times that we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

Anybody could've told you right from the start
It's bout to fall apart
So rather than hold onto a broken dream
We'll just hold on to love

And I could find a way to make it
Don't hold on too tight
I'll make it without you tonight 

So tonight, I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
Tonight I'm gonna find a way to make it without you
I'm gonna hold onto the times we had tonight
I'm gonna find a way to make it without you

Read on to watch the music video and I really love the lyric so much, the music video also so great and fantastic! I just love it all the way!!


I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, Don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...

Here is the music video:

Dan Byrd - Boulevard

I don't know how much I love this song but this song is one of my favorite song of all time, I always cry when I listen this and in every time I sing it too! My mom said that my dad loved this song too and daddy always play this song, I was recording this song and sent it for my friends and they said that I had a great voice! wow it shocked me so much! I never think that they will love it too! such a glad to me to know it haha :))
I learn how to play this song with guitar and I sing it sometimes! yes and yes I love this so much!!!

A great hit, blues, rock from the early 80's, a must have song to any collector! This is the original version very rare! It's wrongly thought Dan Byrd version is the original..this the original listen and enjoy!

Dan Byrd - Boulevard

I don't know why, You said goodbye
Just let me know you didn't go forever my love
Please tell me why, You make me cry
I beg you please on my knees if that's what you want me to

Never knew that it would go so far
When you left me on that boulevard
Come again you would release my pain
And we could be lovers again

Just one more chance, Another dance
And let me feel it isn't real that I've been losing you
This sun will rise, Within your eyes
Come back to me and we will be happy together

Maybe today, I'll make you stay
A little while just for a smile and love together
For I will show, A place I know
In Tokyo where we could be happy forever

WAIT

One thing that I hate to do is wait, but I must have more patience for it, it sucks indeed but thank you Archie for singing this song, I'm in love with this song tremendously!!

 WAIT - DAVID ARCHULETA

I can’t sleep, I’m feeling wide awake
Tonight is taking it’s time
How much more before the morning breaks
And I can leave it all behind
‘Cause every time I try to close my eyes
I only end up seeing memories of you
And it’s never enough, I’m waiting

Even though you’re gone I can hear your heart
It’s calling out my name like a flash in the dark
If this is just a dream
I won’t give it back
I’ll find a way to make it last
One more minute, wait, wait, wait, don’t go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don’t go

I am keeping every word you say
But how much longer can I hold on
Cause whispers echoing until they fade
Remind me that you’re already gone
‘Cause every time I try to chase your voice
I end up getting lost and running in circles
And it’s never enough, I’m waiting

Even though you’re gone I can hear your heart
It’s calling out my name like a flash in the dark
If this is just a dream
I won’t give it back
I’ll find a way to make it last
One more minute wait, wait, wait, don’t go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don’t go
Wait, wait, wait, don’t go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don’t go
Oooh yeah, don’t go

Even though you’re gone I can hear your heart
It’s calling out my name like a flash in the dark
If this is just a dream
I won’t give it back
I’ll find a way to make it last
One more minute, wait, wait, wait, don’t go
Just one more minute, wait, wait, wait, don’t go

Don't Go Looking by MATT DUSK

I listen this song every night, this is really touch song! such an awesome song, and Matt Dusk really has a great voice and I like it, *so jazzy* but unfortunately there's no song in youtube, I just find a way to download the mp3 and write down the lyric, but you guys please download it too, I dare you would never regret if you listen it!

Don’t Go Looking - MATT DUSK

Cry sad tears, then dry your eyes and mend your heart
Life’s too short to waste sweet time, love is gone now you must start
Deep blue eyes smile at you across the room
You say that his brown, and he is not the guy that you once knew

Don’t go looking for, that heart you loved before
You cant replace him with the same kind of face
Don’t dream that sweet old dream. Its not the final scene
Be open to somebody else, someone new.

Change brings fear as clouds will always bring the rain,
But when it finally clears their sun will shine to make it bright again
Let love in, you might feel it deeper still,
But if you hide away, I swear you never will

Don’t go looking for, that heart you loved before
You cant replace him with the same kind of face
Don’t dream that sweet old dream. Its not the final scene
Be open to somebody else, someone new.

Don’t go looking for, that heart you loved before
Be open to somebody else, someone new.

MATT DUSK IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE JAZZ SINGER! HE IS THE BEST!!!!

Matthew-Aaron Dusk (born November 19, 1978 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian jazz musician / vocalist. He currently has two certified gold albums: Two Shots and Good News, and three number one radio hits: "Back in Town," "All About Me", and "Good News."

Biography

From an early age, Matt Dusk wanted to become a performer. At the age of seven, he was accepted into St. Michael's Choir School, where he remained for eleven years. Originally Dusk performed opera and classical music but after hearing Tony Bennett and Sarah Vaughan records at the age of 17 he began to change his musical style and direction. In 1998, he won the top spot in the Canadian National Exhibition Rising Star Competition, beating out 654 contestants. However, Dusk was on a path to take over the family business, and in 1998 went to Toronto's York University to study economics. After spending a year in the economics department, Dusk could not forget his passion for music and in 1999 changed programs to study for a BFA in music, where his emphasis was squarely on jazz and popular music. He studied jazz theory with John Gittins, jazz vocal with Bob Fenton, and attended masterclasses with Oscar Peterson. Dusk was also awarded the university’s Oscar Peterson Scholarship and in 2002 graduated with an honors degree in music.

Before Dusk secured a major record deal, he recorded four independent CDs (The Way It Is being the only one re-released thus far), and many of his songs became popular on MP3 websites. In March 2003, he signed a major record deal with Decca Records. In 2004 Dusk was invited to the Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas to perform as in-house entertainer throughout the filming of Mark Burnett's reality TV show The Casino on FOX.

His debut album Two Shots was released on June 5, 2004 and went gold in Canada. The album produced the hit single, "Two Shots of Happy, One Shot of Sad", which was written by Bono and The Edge from the Irish rock band U2. This song was also the theme song to The Casino show. Dusk followed up his debut album with a holiday album entitled "Peace On Earth" which was released November 30, 2005.

In January 2006, Dusk traveled to Los Angeles to record his second album Back In Town at Capitol Records fabled Studio A. Here, Dusk recorded with a 58 piece orchestra. Back In Town features a mix of jazz standards and originals, and was released in June 2006. As a promotion, Matt included personally signed liner notes with every pre-ordered copy of this album.

In October 2007, the lead single Back In Town reached Number 1 on the Japanese pop radio charts. Matt Dusk is the first male jazz artist in Japanese history to reach Number one on the pop radio charts. This is his second number one hit, the first being 'All About Me' also from the record Back In Town which was achieved in Canada in late 2006.

In March 2008, Dusk announced the recording of a new album titled Good News. This album was released on October 27, 2009 in Poland and Canada and Holland (2010) and France (2011). The album features a new direction that vocally pays tribute to the style of swing/crooner jazz era (1940s-1960s) however is produced in a contemporary way. The album is a collection of original material and international #1 hits from around the world. In late 2009, Good News was certified 'gold' in Poland. In September 2010, the title track Good News reached #1 on the charts of French radio station Europe 1.

In March 2010, Dusk recorded the soundtrack to the TV series Call Me Fitz featuring Jason Priestly. The series began airing in Canada on September 18, 2010 on HBO, followed by world releases soon after.

On August 25, 2010, Dusk shot a live DVD concert special for PBS which began to air across America December 2010, and across the world in 2011. The concert was recorded live at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada with a 17 piece big band. The DVD was also released as a double CD/DVD.

Dusk is currently working on his latest album which will be released in 2012.

November Rain

When I look into your eyes I can see a love restrained, But darlin' when I hold you don't you know I feel the same,

‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it’s hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We’ve been through this
Such a long long time
Just tryin’ to kill the pain
yeahh..
But lovers always come
And lovers always go
And no one’s really sure
Who’s lettin’ go today
Walking away
If we could take the time
To lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin’ that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
Then darlin’ don’t refrain
Or I’ll just end up walkin’
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time
On your own
Do you need some time
All alone
Everybody needs some time
On their own
Don’t you know you need some time
All alone

I know it’s hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn’t time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time
On my own
Sometimes I need some time
All alone
Everybody needs some time
On their own
Don’t you know you need some time
All alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there’s no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
‘Cause nothin’ lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don’t ya think that you
Need somebody
Don’t ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You’re not the only one
You’re not the only one

Don’t ya think that you
Need somebody
Don’t ya think that you
Need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You’re not the only one
You’re not the only one


Everybody needs somebody

 

YESTERDAY

 

"Yesterday"

I gave you the benefit of the doubt
'Til you showed me what you were about
Your true colors came out

And your words couldn't hide the sin
'Cause the truth about where you been
Is in a fragrance I can't recognize

Just standing there, scratching your head
Bloodshot eyes, drunk with regret
Hanging yourself ten feet over the edge

I'm done with this, feeling like an idiot
Loving you, I'm over it
I just don't love you, don't love you no more

You, you are so yesterday
Never thought you'd lose my love this way
Now you come begging me to stay

See you, you are so yesterday
I won't let you rain on my parade
I don't wanna hear a thing you say
You're so yesterday

Baby, what you're saying to me is
There's no more you and I
I couldn't get it right on yesterday
So kiss our tomorrows goodbye

Baby, love should brought me home
Should've just been a man about it
But now I'm crying like a baby
Girl, your love was like my blanket
Don't know what to do without it

I'm standing here, pleading my case
You don't care to hear what I say
Hanging yourself ten feet over the edge

My promises don't mean nothing
The end is so disgusting
I just don't love you, don't love you no more

You, you are so yesterday
Never thought you'd lose my love this way
Now you come begging me to stay

Honey, you, you are so yesterday
I won't let you rain on my parade
I don't wanna hear a thing you say, so yesterday

And now you wanna reminisce
Say you wanna try again
It started with a little kiss
But we can't even be friends

No, no, now I never wanna see you
Never wanna feel you, never wanna hear you
I don't love you, don't need you
Can't stand you no more

You, you are so yesterday
Never thought you'd lose my love this way
Now you come begging me to stay

You, you are so yesterday
I won't let you rain on my parade
Don't wanna hear a thing you say

So yesterday, so yesterday
So yesterday, so yesterday

I don't know how you do what you do I'm so in love with you!!

Amazed - Scotty McCreery

 

Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams

Chorus:
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you

The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes

(Repeat Chorus x2)

ADELE - SOMEONE LIKE YOU

"Someone Like You" is a song by English singer-songwriter Adele. Written by Adele and Dan Wilson for her second studio album 21, the song was inspired by a broken relationship of hers, and lyrically it speaks of Adele coming to terms with it. XL Recordings released the song as the second single from the album on 24 January 2011 in the United Kingdom and on 9 August 2011 in the United States. Accompanied just by a simple piano sound in the song, Adele sings about the end of the relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Welsh-American fashion designer Gareth Jones, and she is confronting his marriage. The song received positive reviews from music critics who chose the song as a highlight on the album and praised its simple sound. The lyrics and Adele's vocal performance in the song were also praised.
Following a well-received performance of the song at the 2011 BRIT Awards, "Someone Like You" became Adele's first number one single in the United Kingdom and it stayed on the top of the chart for five weeks. The song also topped the charts in Ireland, New Zealand, Australia and has become Adele's second number one in the United States. With that achievement Adele became the first female British solo singer in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 to have two number ones from the same album. In July 2011, it became the first single of the decade to sell a million units in the United Kingdom and it was certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), as well as being certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in the United States.

ADELE - SOMEONE LIKE YOU 

I heard that you settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,"
Yeah.

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

MARIAH CAREY IS REALLY ADORABLE :*

A man and a women once had something special. Over the years, they lose it. They try to get it back. But they never can. And in the process, they continue to make each other miserable.I recently had the worst breakup I could ever imagine. All of a sudden 5 weeks later (last night), I started thinking of this song. How perfectly timeless and fitting for everyone that's suffered a disappointing breakup. And Mariah is just perfect for devoting herself to the song as she did. The mood of this song, the lyrics everything about it is so pure and so honest. Mariah really creates a masterpiece here that can speak to many fans. I wish this kind of music was still around I hope someday someone out there will bring it back.

Mariah Carey - I Don't Wanna Cry

Once again we sit in silence
After all is said and done
Only emptiness inside us
Baby look what we've become
We can make a million promises
But we still won't change
It isn't right to stay together
When you only bring each other pain

[Chorus:]
I don't wanna cry
Don't wanna cry
Nothing in the world
Could take us back
To where we used to be
Though I've given you my heart and soul
I must find a way of letting go
'Cause baby
I don't wanna cry

Too far apart to bridge the distance
But something keeps us hanging on and on
Pretending not to know the difference
Denying what we had is gone
Every moment we're together
It's just breaking me down
I know we swore it was forever
But it hurts too much to stay around

[Chorus]

All the magic's gone
There's just a shadow of a memory
Something just went wrong
We can't go on make-believing
On make-believing

[Chorus]

Jordan Knight

Music Seen: After 25 Years In The Business, Jordan Knight Is Still A Heartthrob [PHOTOS]

Celebrities who emerge as teen idols rarely stay that way. It’s one of the immutable laws of celebrity nature. They get older, their fans get older, and generally, everyone eventually moves on.
That, however, has not been the case for Jordan Knight, who began his run as a heartthrob way back in 1986 and is showing no signs of slowing down. Whether performing as part of the New Kids On The Block, NKOTBSB, or as a solo artist, Jordan Knight remains culturally relevant to this day not just because he’s a handsome devil or because his falsetto instantly causes listeners’ knees to weaken, but because he continues to record songs that resonate with audiences of all ages.
Jordan popped by our offices here in Times Square not too long ago while on a publicity tour for his new solo album, Unfinished. We asked him to be the latest artist to participate in our ongoing Music Seen feature, and he kindly obliged. Enjoy!—Mark Graham
