Bianca: ' Records On' is one of my favorite Nadia Berry's record because the concept of the song is just stunning girl, you did yo thang vocally and lyrically with that song and I loved the way the arrangement of the song. It's like a short story that I found really interesting.

06. "Beautifully Broken"
Written by Nadia Berry.
Peaked at #2 on the Digital Chart.


"Beautifully Broken" sounds like the typical title for a dreary ballad, but in Nadia's case, she turns it into an uptempo pop-rock tune. With building synths and powerful electric guitar riffs throughout, it may just be one of the most infectious tracks on her Open Heart Surgery album. After the second chorus, the loud and in-your-face nature of the song dies down with a soft acoustic guitar ending for the outro, Nadia softly singing from "You placed your hand on my heart / And told me to keep on going", ending just when you expect another chorus to come along. With its bittersweet lyrics that tell the tale of a chaotic love story with drugs and one another, "Beautifully Broken" definitely leaves a lasting impression as the relationship comes to a sad ending.

Nadia: "This is one of my favourite songs I've ever written, I think it's lyrically stunning. I like songs that tell a story, songs that can make you imagine a scenario in your head, and this really does that to me. I love writing about tragic, disastrous relationships, because there's so many ways you can put a spin on it, and it's also something many people can relate to in some way. So for that reason, I had to push for this to become a single, and thankfully, it did even better than I expected, so I'm grateful people seemed to love this song as much as I do, I think it's one of the most worthy on this collection release."

Lyrics

We watched the mail pile up
We shredded all the bills we got
We threw furniture against the front door
And blasted all our favourite songs
Yeah, we were doing everything wrong
But still, we both felt so right
Yeah, we were both really so lost
But at least we found each other

I'll love you 'til the day I die
And we can say it so proud, say it so loud
Because it'll probably happen in a few days time
The way we live, I know you're no good for me
I know that I'm no good for you, that's the way we want it
The way we die, we always talked about how we'd like to go
We said we'd probably sing those songs until we pass out
We'd go together, in each other's arms
Knocking at the door of heaven's gates
Only to turn right back around

Cause being a mess ain't no fun when you're alone
I'd watch the smoke rise up to the ceiling
And now that we've got each other
We watch the fire burn down all our memories
We wanna start anew, me and you

Honey, we're so beautifully broken
So sweetly stolen, we're rotten to the core
Watch me bat my innocent lashes
You know I'm a renegade deep down
One of these days, babe, we're gonna crash and burn
Let's just get high off the thrill, we're in it for the kill
If we're gonna do it, we're gonna do it right
Yeah, we know we're so beautifully broken
And we don't even wanna be repaired


We watched the lovers fight
We took off all our clothes
We hid under the covers until we hit cloud nine
We were just scared to be alone
Maybe we're not a match made in heaven
The way we're such a bad influence on each other
We're probably a match made in hell
But we were ready to face the world

You're addicted to more than the drugs
My head on your chest, baby, I know it
I know they're gonna kill you off any day now
But I've never heard a weak heart beat so loud
You tell me it's for me, you admire me, cherish me
I'm your heroine, you're my heroin
I'm proudly addicted to nothing but you
You're slowly slipping away, but you know what they say
Live every day as if it were your last
But I never knew today would be the day
That the curtains finally draw...

Cause being a mess ain't no fun when you're alone
I'd watch the smoke rise up to the ceiling
And now that we've got each other
We watch the fire burn down all our memories
We wanna start anew, me and you

Honey, we're so beautifully broken
So sweetly stolen, we're rotten to the core
Watch me bat my innocent lashes
You know I'm a renegade deep down
One of these days, babe, we're gonna crash and burn
Let's just get high off the thrill, we're in it for the kill
If we're gonna do it, we're gonna do it right
Yeah, we know we're so beautifully broken
And we don't even wanna be repaired


You placed your hand on my heart
And told me to keep on going
You said from the very start
We were made for one another
So when your close your eyes
And leave me behind
How do I keep on going?
When I'm not designed to be without you
Tell me an answer
How do I survive without you?

07. "One of Those Days"
Written by Nadia Berry.
Peaked at #2 on the Digital Chart.


"One of Those Days" is a mid-tempo blues-inspired track, opening with the sound of rain falling, before fading into the first line "Rain pouring down outside, we've got the curtains drawn", accompanied with playful blues guitar chords and a faint drum beat. Nadia's vocals sound sexy, her voice alone doing a good job on enticing the listener, as she describes the steamy morning routine between her and her lover. Building into the chorus where Nadia's vocals become louder and more powerful, she remains sounding passionate. The song later features a break that features a saxophone solo for around half a minute, before moving into the final chorus.

Nadia: "This isn't the most innocent song out of my discography to say the least, but seeing as the influence of this song comes from Ryan, that makes a lot of sense. It's just meant to be a sexy, sensual song that was all about the passion and eagerness a couple have in a relationship, to the point of being slightly obsessed with one another that they don't care if they're late for work because they're so busy doing... other things. I've always wanted my own baby making song, I finally got one! Yay! (laughs)"

Lyrics

Rain pouring down outside, we've got the curtains drawn
Might be late for work, but my mind's only set on you
Quarter to nine, we've been at it since the break of dawn
Might not even leave the house, we've got something else to do
Clothes on for work, only for us to take them off once more
So let me loosen your tie, unbutton your shirt
We've lost a lot of time that we've gotta make up for
Taking off my heels, loosen up my skirt
Only thing left to do is to lock the door

Every piece of clothing I slide on, you slide me back out of it
Looks like neither one of us are leaving the house today
This ain't the first time this has happened
I can guarantee you I'll be fired tomorrow
Somehow, I couldn't care less about everything else
Because nothing compares, no nothing compares
To a morning with you

And it's just one of those days
Where all I wanna do is get some more of your loving
And I just wanna disappear into nothing
Just so I can get lost in you
And it's just one of those days
Where all I wanna do is cling to you and breathe you in
My lips meeting your skin
Turning into our sweetest sin
And it's just one of those days


Feels like we've just set ourselves back into rewind
Cause I could've sworn we did this last night
Looks like we're still stuck on the day behind
And I can't even face the morning light
Gliding my fingers through your morning hair
There's only one thing that we're putting the effort into
We haven't even gotta worry about what to wear
You're the only boss who I've gotta get to
And I'm leaving all the rest up to you

Every piece of clothing I slide on, you slide me back out of it
Looks like neither one of us are leaving the house today
This ain't the first time this has happened
I can guarantee you I'll be fired tomorrow
Somehow, I couldn't care less about everything else
Because nothing compares, no nothing compares
To a morning with you

And it's just one of those days
Where all I wanna do is get some more of your loving
And I just wanna disappear into nothing
Just so I can get lost in you
And it's just one of those days
Where all I wanna do is cling to you and breathe you in
My lips meeting your skin
Turning into our sweetest sin
And it's just one of those days


Cold outside, we've got the fire burning
In your arms, you've got me yearning
Grip me tighter and the world falls away
With you is a place I wanna stay
And it's just one of those days...

Every piece of clothing I slide on, you slide me back out of it
Looks like neither one of us are leaving the house today
This ain't the first time this has happened
I can gurantee you I'll be fired tomorrow
Somehow, I couldn't care less about everything else
Because nothing compares, no nothing compares
To a morning with you

And it's just one of those days
Where all I wanna do is get some more of your loving
And I just wanna disappear into nothing
Just so I can get lost in you
And it's just one of those days
Where all I wanna do is cling to you and breathe you in
My lips meeting your skin
Turning into our sweetest sin
And it's just one of those days

Sonyae: Is there a single of yours that didn't chart in the top 5 lol? Anyways, I remember each and every one of these singles. You're really a standout pop artist Nadia. I'll be sure to buy this greatest hits album and that will mark as the third album of yours that I purchased. :)

08. "We'll Break Time"
Written by Nadia Berry.
Peaked at #9 on the Digital Chart.


"We'll Break Time" takes on a more indie rock sound in comparison to the majority of electronic/pop influenced songs on Hera, and marks a shift away from that as the album comes close to its end. However, it keeps the uplifting, feel good vibe to the record, and sounds like the perfect song to sing aloud to with the rooftop down on a sunny day. It's one of the songs on the album where Nadia sounds like she hasn't got a care in the world, singing along happily to a backing of a steady drum beat, bass and a church organ, before a wall of guitars swoop in for the catchy chorus. Nadia sounds playful and full of joy throughout, before everything drops out and she sweetly sings the outro.

Nadia: "I'm a big fan of 'We'll Break Time', it's one of my favourites on Hera and just has a really positive, uplifting message to it of being able to overcome anything in a relationship. I love writing songs that people can relate to in some way, and I definitely think people will be able to relate to this one. My tastes are always changing when it comes to music, which is why I've got such a diverse discography, but I've always been a big fan of indie pop and indie rock, so this is where those influences come in. It's definitely a sound I'd like to explore more in the future."

Lyrics

When you turn around, it's gonna be me you find
I'll be the road to guide you if you're blind
I'm the shadow behind you when you walk
Me and you, we'll break time
An open hand for you to take when you struggle
An open heart for you to clear all your troubles
And when it's a race against the clock
Together, we'll break time

Don't tell me that forever is impossible
Love makes us crazy, and maybe it's possible
That we can go the extra mile
And our time together will never expire

When it strikes midnight, you're waiting for the inevitable
I bet you're thinking that we were so close to having it all
When you think of me and your heart starts beating fast
When you think of me and you're scared if we're gonna last
When you think we're almost over, and you're about to draw the line
Then clear your doubts and blink twice, we'll break time
When there's one second left, I'm gonna give you a thousand more
When it's close to the end, I'll make you feel better than before
When your mind's going crazy, I'm gonna calm you down just fine
Yeah, just give me trust, we'll break time


I'll be your kick-start in the AM
Be the one to push you across the finish line
I'll be the protection from all your danger
You can call me your personal saviour
Cause together, we'll break time
Open arms to pull you up when you're slipping
The call from a distance to make you smile
And when you think we've only got one minute
Yeah together, we'll break time

A heroine next to her hero
Doubt it, and I'll say watch me fly
That timer is never going to hit zero
When I'm by your side…

When it strikes midnight, you're waiting for the inevitable
I bet you're thinking that we were so close to having it all
When you think of me and your heart starts beating fast
When you think of me and you're scared if we're gonna last
When you think we're almost over, and you're about to draw the line
Then clear your doubts and blink twice, we'll break time
When there's one second left, I'm gonna give you a thousand more
When it's close to the end, I'll make you feel better than before
When your mind's going crazy, I'm gonna calm you down just fine
Yeah, just give me trust, we'll break time


Love makes us do stupid things, but how great it feels
When time's back in our hands, and it feels so real
To be back in each others arms, and I've waited so long
For the distance between us to suddenly be gone

Yeah, I would fight so hard for you, I'd defy what's human
They say only angels can protect and guide you
Well here I am, watch me, I'm right behind you
I would go so hard for you that time would be useless
Would be useless, it would mean nothing to you and I
Cause together, we could break time

When it strikes midnight, you're waiting for the inevitable
I bet you're thinking that we were so close to having it all
When you think of me and your heart starts beating fast
When you think of me and you're scared if we're gonna last
When you think we're almost over, and you're about to draw the line
Then clear your doubts and blink twice, we'll break time
When there's one second left, I'm gonna give you a thousand more
When it's close to the end, I'll make you feel better than before
When your mind's going crazy, I'm gonna calm you down just fine
Yeah, just give me trust, we'll break time


People might not think it, even we don't believe it
But put us to test, and I bet we'll achieve it
Cause it's timeless…
Yeah, we keep breaking time
Oh yeah, it's timeless…
Yeah, you and I
We break time…

09. "Cheap Flings and Diamond Rings" (with Katie Coyle)
Written by Nadia Berry and Katie Coyle.
Peaked at #2 on the Digital Chart.


Click here for track description

Nadia: "Despite whatever has happened between us in our personal lives, I'm still a big fan of 'Cheap Flings' and I think it was only made better by Katie's talents, who's a fantastic songwriter. We're both very different writers, I'm more of a chorus kinda girl, but Katie's great at writing verses that really carry a song and tell a story, it's those type of lyrics that really grip a listener into a song. Whereas I feel like I've got an ear for a hit single, I know what's catchy and I know how to get a song stuck in your head, I know what works on the radio, so pairing mine and Katie's specialities in that way really made for a great song. I'm proud of what we came up with, and it holds a special place on this collection release."

Lyrics

Nothing seems so easy for this girl
Her mind so filled with doubts, is still where wishes linger
The journey's always breezy in her world
With a hope deep in her heart and a space on her finger
But where did she get so lost?
Just like a battle with the bottle she knows the cost
Of always running around
Of always chasing him down
Can't she see he's nothing more than a hollow crown?

Perfect couples plastered on a movie screen
Doesn't Hollywood look so romantic?
Really, everyone there is either paper thin or high on heroin
But I know we'd be the real deal, the American Dream

When you say you love me, I feel so cold and empty
Can't help but feel that one day you'll run off and forget me
And when you say you need me, I always think you're lying
Can't help but feel that one day you'll just give up trying
I wanna be something more, but you won't let me play the part
You give me cheap flings, but I want diamond rings
We're wearing thin, moments away from falling apart
Yeah, all you'll ever give me is cheap flings, but I want diamond rings


She cries at night for a time she feels she wasted
Is she blindly being led around a circular trek?
Why won't he let her see, see the life that she's already tasted?
Is a ring on her finger really a noose around his neck?
But his drug doesn't ever give her a high
She needs the pills in her pocket just to help her get by
The stinging tears dull the sparkle which was once in her eye

Don't fill this beautiful girl with empty hopes
Why don't you give her the freedom away from these incessant rings?
Why does she feel like she's always stood on downward slops
Only you can help her soar if you just give her her wings
No wonder she lost all signs of light
When you extinguished her passion she lost her flight
But just like a phoenix she can still rise, just please give her a reason, a reason to ignite

Perfect couples plastered on a movie screen
Doesn't Hollywood look so romantic?
Really, everyone there is either paper thin or high on heroin
But I know we'd be the real deal, the American Dream

When you say you love me, I feel so cold and empty
Can't help but feel that one day you'll run off and forget me
And when you say you need me, I always think you're lying
Can't help but feel that one day you'll just give up trying
I wanna be something more, but you won't let me play the part
You give me cheap flings, but I want diamond rings
We're wearing thin, moments away from falling apart
Yeah, all you'll ever give me is cheap flings, but I want diamond rings


Born free, like a gust of wind across a lonely bay
Stop living in this endless circle, and wipe her tears away
All she wants is a glimpse of what you will be
But she's not a crystal ball so you gotta let her see
If you won't take her to the future then set her free
set her free
set her free

When you say you love me, I feel so cold and empty
Can't help but feel that one day you'll run off and forget me
And when you say you need me, I always think you're lying
Can't help but feel that one day you'll just give up trying
I wanna be something more, but you won't let me play the part
You give me cheap flings, but I want diamond rings
We're wearing thin, moments away from falling apart
Yeah, all you'll ever give me is cheap flings, but I want diamond rings

10. "Good Girls Don't Lie"
Written by Nadia Berry.
Peaked at #2 on the Digital Chart.


"Good Girls Don't Lie" was the first buzz single lifted from Nadia's hugely successful Open Heart Surgery album. With nothing but an upbeat reggae-influenced acoustic guitar backing and soft piano chords which are only present during the chorus, "Good Girls Don't Lie" is a stripped back, playful and cheerful-sounding acoustic track. "I'm more suited to playing the devil's advocate" Nadia sings in a challenging, yet soft voice which remains throughout the track, letting her gentle vocals shine and take the main focus in the song. If there's any question that Nadia isn't worthy of being a solo singer away from GirlSpice, this song should be the one to wipe away your doubts from her vocals alone, singing in her impressive upper register throughout the chorus.

Nadia: "I love 'Good Girls Don't Lie' because I think it sums up my personality and career really well. In the early GirlSpice days, I had a sweet, good girl image that I think was slowly tainted after years of people beginning to discover who I really was. Then it got to a point where I no longer cared of what people thought and just did what I wanted to do, and showed people the real me without having to always think about being a role model at the back of my head. Despite that, I still know that I'm in the public eye and I'm a role model to some, but I don't focus and obsess over that so much now, so I guess this song is my confession. It's a nice, laidback summery track with some pretty strong lyrics, and I really think I owe it to this song for building the hype it did for my Open Heart Surgery album."

Lyrics

Paint my skies with shades of red and black
And rip my angelic wings off one feather at a time
Cause I won't live a life under false pretenses
I'm more suited to playing the devil's advocate
Always the one to start a riot and make a scene
Tainting my image which you thought was squeaky clean

Lock your eyes on me, a sly cat up to no good
Doing things that only a bad girl would
But never what a good girl should

So if it's true that good girls don't lie
Then I'm the one proudly wearing the tainted halo
Feeding you lies and covering your eyes
A black widow who's been spinning a web around you
Just waiting for the moment to inject the venom
So if it's true that good girls don't lie
Then I'm the one proudly wearing the tainted halo


Everyone's the fool when you're wearing a disguise
But I'm taking it off and throwing it away
Won't be the innocent girl to bat her lashes
The truth is infront of you hiding behind big sunglasses
But when it's hidden away behind a money-making scheme
It's all the price you pay to live the American Dream

Lock your eyes on me, a sly cat up to no good
Doing things that only a bad girl would
But never what a good girl should

So if it's true that good girls don't lie
Then I'm the one proudly wearing the tainted halo
Feeding you lies and covering your eyes
A black widow who's been spinning a web around you
Just waiting for the moment to inject the venom
So if it's true that good girls don't lie
Then I'm the one proudly wearing the tainted halo


An angelic smile with my heart on my sleeve
Thinking of ways to get you to believe
When it's all just a new way to deceive
When money makes the world go round
There's always another dollar to be found

So if it's true that good girls don't lie
Then I'm the one proudly wearing the tainted halo
Feeding you lies and covering your eyes
A black widow who's been spinning a web around you
Just waiting for the moment to inject the venom
So if it's true that good girls don't lie
Then I'm the one proudly wearing the tainted halo

11. "Nothing Less Than Perfection"
Written by Nadia Berry.
Peaked at #14 on the Digital Chart.


"Nothing Less Than Perfection" was released as the first official single from Open Heart Surgery, and despite under-performing in comparison to the previous two buzz singles, it remains a critic and fan favourite. Lyrically, the song deals with a man who doesn't feel that you're good enough for him, and just as the title states, he searches for nothing less than perfection, which he's unable to find. When he finds out about his lover's problems, he simply doesn't want to deal with them, as he'd rather find a girl who hasn't got any problems or troubles in life. For a song that lyrically, isn't the most happy of songs, "Nothing Less Than Perfection" is strangely quite euphoric and feel-good, in a sort-of Coldplay, "Charlie Brown" way. With both the infusion of electric and acoustic guitar, as well as a pounding back-beat of strong drums and soft croons from Nadia herself; it's shocking to think that Nadia has been making dance-pop songs for so long and then pops up with something like this.

Nadia: "I love performing this one live, it's got a great energy to it and it always gets the crowd going, it's definitely one that the fans love. It's also one of the most personal songs I've ever written, I wrote it about an ex who was unable to deal with my own problems, he made me feel like I wasn't good enough for him, as if I didn't fit the perfect girlfriend role that he wanted. After a long time of battling my own issues and always feeling not good enough for people, I took the new found strength I had after being back on track with my life, and I wrote this song. I knew it wasn't going to do all that well in terms of charts because it wasn't as commercial as some of the other songs on the album, but I wanted to put out something I felt emotionally connected to, so I have no regrets with going ahead with this as the lead single."

Lyrics

A girl with her own problems was just too much to ask for
Sorry, honey, did the plan of a simple life not work out?
Cause the moment the words were spoken from my lips
Your eyes set for the door, a full suitcase in hand
You've got enough troubles already in your life
And you just weren't willing to deal with mine

And I knew from then, I was already better off
Because I knew I could fight my mind alone
I didn't need you to hold my hand to tell me it'd be alright
Cause I didn't even get hopes up on it happening
You were a cold hearted lover, barely that
I guess I was just someone other than someone you wanted

I was once someone you wanted to know
Then when tragedy hit and I let you know
You suddenly no longer wanted to know
No, no, you just didn't wanna know

I'll get by, all I need is these pills that I feed on
One by one, my problems will slowly slip away
To the back of my head, I'll hide them away in darkness
One by one to the back of my head, and I swallow them down
They do me more good than you ever could
And believe me, if I could change things, I would


Don't worry about the guilt, I don't regret a thing
They say that everything happens for a reason
And I've found a man who loves me despite it all
And that's just something you could never do
So baby, don't question at night why you left me
Cause you did us both a favour

When things got tough, you just broke down
I didn't wanna be the one to carry the weight for both of us
And I bet what I have now is what you wish you had
You're just too weak, and I know you're gonna struggle
Babe, go cry those tears and suck it up
Life's a bitch to all the rest of us

I was once someone you wanted to know
Then when tragedy hit and I let you know
You suddenly no longer wanted to know
No, no, you just didn't wanna know

I'll get by, all I need is these pills that I feed on
One by one, my problems will slowly slip away
To the back of my head, I'll hide them away in darkness
One by one to the back of my head, and I swallow them down
They do me more good than you ever could
And believe me, if I could change things, I would


Good luck trying to find someone who's perfect
I know I couldn't be the one who fulfilled that
Cause just when you think you've found perfection
You'll soon see the cracks that start to appear
Cause didn't your mama tell you, none of us are perfect
And you should take a look closer to home
Yeah, that's the only way that you're gonna know
Once you look into the mirror and stare into your eyes
Them cracks all appear, one right after the other
And now do you wish you had me back?

I'll get by, all I need is these pills that I feed on
One by one, my problems will slowly slip away
To the back of my head, I'll hide them away in darkness
One by one to the back of my head, and I swallow them down
They do me more good than you ever could
And believe me, if I could change things, I would


Little miss unperfect, always misunderstood
Now, do you wish you had me back for good?

LOOKING BACK OVER THE HITS...
NADIA BERRY: THE COLLECTION

UserPostedImage

12. "Records On"
Written by Nadia Berry.
Peaked at #1 on the Digital Chart.


Opening with a crackling vinyl sound which Nadia sings the chorus over in a gentle, higher register, before the song kicks off with a repeated drum pattern, mixed with sweet sounding synths that manage to give the song a slightly more pop feel. The drums remain consistent throughout the track, whilst light piano notes played by Nadia herself are heard in the background of the following chorus. Mid-song, everything drops out for a simplistic, but catchy acoustic guitar riff that Nadia is also credited for, as she's heard softly humming over it. The song remains mid-tempo throughout the entire length, right up into the final chorus where the song seems to burst into life with louder drums and strong, sensuous guitars, bringing the song to a perfect end and leaving a lasting impression.

Nadia: "I owe it to this song for taking my career to the next level, because it became my biggest single to date and it really opened a lot of doors for me as a solo artist. I was able to collaborate with Isaac on a revamped version of the track, and it proved others wrong that I was capable of achieving more after the successful Open Heart Surgery era. It's really just a sweet, simple love song, so it really took me by surprised when it blew up in the way that it did, but it was definitely a nice surprise. It's a favourite of mine too, and I'm glad to have such a great song as part of my first ever collection release."

Lyrics

Curtains drawn, your favourite records on
My head on your chest as we sing along
Falling asleep until early afternoon
Waking up and singing the same old tune
Lower your head and whisper in my ear
The only two things I forever wanna hear
Curtains drawn, your favourite records on
Tell me you love me at the end of this song


Once we close the door and shut out the world
Heaven is a place that we both soon find
Wrap me in your arms so tight
Boy, go and put your records on
At the loudest possible volume
We'll sing your favourite songs all night
That's when I know everything's gonna be alright

Your vinyl collection, my new obsession
Drop the needle and we'll lay there in ecstasy
Your vinyl collection, my new obsession
We'll lay there in ecstasy, just you and me

Curtains drawn, your favourite records on
My head on your chest as we sing along
Falling asleep until early afternoon
Waking up and singing the same old tune
Lower your head and whisper in my ear
The only two things I forever wanna hear
Curtains drawn, your favourite records on
Tell me you love me at the end of this song


Lying on your bed and forgetting about anyone else
Paradise is so easy to find
You hold me close and close your eyes
I said boy, go and put your records on
I love 'em just as much as you
Close to you, I laid there and cried
Thinking about all the good times and how time flies
All the good times we had to your favourite songs

Your vinyl collection, my new obsession
Drop the needle and we'll lay there in ecstasy
Your vinyl collection, my new obsession
We'll lay there in ecstasy, just you and me

Curtains drawn, your favourite records on
My head on your chest as we sing along
Falling asleep until early afternoon
Waking up and singing the same old tune
Lower your head and whisper in my ear
The only two things I forever wanna hear
Curtains drawn, your favourite records on
Tell me you love me at the end of this song


All these love songs you play
And I'm thinking ahead of today
Wondering what new memories we'll make
What tomorrow will bring when we next wake
Ooh, put your records on, boy
Let's make 'em the soundtrack to our wonderful life

Your vinyl collection, my new obsession
Drop the needle and we'll lay there in ecstasy
Your vinyl collection, my new obsession
We'll lay there in ecstasy, just you and me

Curtains drawn, your favourite records on
My head on your chest as we sing along
Falling asleep until early afternoon
Waking up and singing the same old tune
Lower your head and whisper in my ear
The only two things I forever wanna hear
Curtains drawn, your favourite records on
Tell me you love me at the end of this song

13. "You Wanted War"
Written by Nadia Berry.
Release date: 17th December


Ending the collection release is the second of two brand new songs added onto the album, the other being lead hit single "Calling You Out". In comparison to that, "You Wanted War" is a relaxed acoustic guitar led track which Nadia plays herself, while her voice sounds powerful, a slight angry feel to it as she sings the lyrics. The song builds up slowly and guitar pace increases gradually, before the chorus hits with sudden, dramatic violins and a drum beat. Nadia gives one of her best vocal performances heard to date on the track, especially in the chorus where her voice soars over the music. After the second chorus, everything drops out but the consistent drum beat for the middle-eight which is sung twice, Nadia giving a heartfelt delivery of the lyrics, before the final chorus where every instrument sounds amplified and even bigger sound-wise than before.

Nadia: "I really love the lyrics to this one. I've always said I'm a fan of songs that tell a story and this really just describes a relationship that's on the rocks where a couple are arguing at every given opportunity. Despite having a happy relationship where there's little to no arguments, I've been in relationships like the one in the song, so it's an easy topic to sing about and relate to for me. It'll be released as the second single from the collection very soon, so get ready to request and download!"

Lyrics

I didn't come here looking for a fight
But it looks like neither of us are backing down
Eyes locked on one another, no one else in sight
So call your friends, tell 'em your leaving town
You won't wanna face 'em after we're done tonight
I'll run your name through the mud and hang you out to dry
So pack your things and book the flight
And rain your tears down from the other end of the sky

We're sitting in the middle of an earthquake
Watching the cracks appear right between us
Moving us further and further apart
Once whispered words, now all we do is shout
The fire used to burn, but now it's out
This must have been what you wanted
Oh boy, just look what you started...

So let's burn the past and throw up the weapons
While we march to a different beat, shouting to the high heavens
One more fight, who's keeping score?
This ain't what I asked for, but you wanted war
I gave you time to quit, yet you asked for it
So if it's a battle you wanted, then you got it
Aim and fire, hold your hands up and admit
That you, you, you wanted war
You, you, you wanted war


Now we sleep in different beds, we're careful where we tread
We're trying to resurrect something that's been long dead
You thought I'd wear your halo, be your angel
Dedicate myself to you and do whatever I was able
But I'm more like a pussycat with a lion's bite
Like a fighter jet that's just taken flight
You asked for one more fight, what's this good for?
But you got what you wanted, and I'm giving you war

We're sitting in the middle of an earthquake
Watching the cracks appear right between us
Moving us further and further apart
Once whispered words, now all we do is shout
The fire used to burn, but now it's out
This must have been what you wanted
Oh boy, just look what you started...

So let's burn the past and throw up the weapons
While we march to a different beat, shouting to the high heavens
One more fight, who's keeping score?
This ain't what I asked for, but you wanted war
I gave you time to quit, yet you asked for it
So if it's a battle you wanted, then you got it
Aim and fire, hold your hands up and admit
That you, you, you wanted war
You, you, you wanted war


I brought you love and pleasure like an aphrodite
You couldn't deny I made you feel so high and mighty
But we passed our expiry date, now we're running in circles
Endless running credits, how about we draw the curtains?
Take a bow and end this poor excuse of a show
Let go of the rope and admit it's time to go, go, go

So let's burn the past and throw up the weapons
While we march to a different beat, shouting to the high heavens
One more fight, who's keeping score?
This ain't what I asked for, but you wanted war
I gave you time to quit, yet you asked for it
So if it's a battle you wanted, then you got it
Aim and fire, hold your hands up and admit
That you, you, you wanted war
You, you, you wanted war

Ryan: I've always been a huge fan of Nadia. 'Open Heart Surgery' is still very high on my list of all time favourite albums. This compilation album however really showcases your versatility and diversity as an artist. You've gone from being in a girl band to making these songs which is truly remarkable. It's a tough choice, but I think 'Beautifully Broken' may be my favourite track from you!

OOC: Due to my mini hiatus from this site a month or two ago, this is the first im really seeing off this collection album. It has also reminded me of just how good all your lyrics are. Seriously, seriously good!

Nadia: Thanks a lot, Ryan! I know it came out a little while ago, but I'm glad to see the release is still getting some attention from the likes of you. Very sweet of you to say though, "Beautifully Broken" is my favourite song from myself too, I always knew you had good taste!

OOC: Hahah, I wouldn't go that far! But it's always a huge compliment to me when people praise my lyrics, especially when it comes from people as great at writing them as yourself. Thank you. :)
