Avicii vs Nicky Romero - I Could Be The One

Do you think about me when you’re all alone?

The things we used to do we used to be

I could be the one to make you feel that way

I could be the one to set you free

Do you think about me when the crowd is gone?

It used to be so easy, you and me

I could be the one to make you feel that way

I could be the one to set you free

I could be the one to make you feel that way

I could be the one to set you free

I could be the one to make you feel that way

I could be the one to set you free

When you need a way to beat the pressure down

When you need to find a way to breathe

I could be the one to make you feel that way

I could be the one to set you free

If you need to see me when the crowd is gone

It used to be so easy can’t you see?

I could be the one to make you feel that way

I could be the one to set you free…

I could be the one to make you feel that way

I could be the one to set you free

I could be the one to make you feel that way

I could be the one to set you free

I could be the one to make you feel that way

I could be the one to set you free

I could be the one to make you feel that way

I could be the one to set you free

Macklemore:
Walk into the club like "What up? I got a big cock!"
Nah, I’m just pumped, bought some shit from a thrift shop
Ice on the fringe is so damn frosty
People like “Damn, that’s a cold ass honky!”
Rolling in hella deep, headed to the mezzanine
Dressed in all pink except my gator shoes, those are green
Draped in a leopard mink, girl standing next to me
Probably shoulda washed this, smells like R. Kelly's sheets (Pisssssss)
But shit, it was ninety-nine cents!
Bag it, copping it, washing it, 'bout to go and get some compliments
Passing up on those moccasins someone else been has walking in
Bummy and grudgy, fucking it, I am stunting and flossing and
Saving my money and I’m hella happy, that’s a bargain bitch
Imma take your grandpa's style
Imma take your grandpa's style
No for real, ask your grandpa
Can I have his hand-me-downs? (Thank you!)
Velour jumpsuit and some house slippers
Dookie brown leather jacket that I found, dig it
They had a broken keyboard, I bought a broken keyboard
I bought a skeet blanket, then I bought a knee board
Hello, hello, my ace man, my Mello
John Wayne ain’t got nothing on my fringe game, hell no
I could take some Pro Wings, make them cool, sell those
The sneaker heads would be like “Ah, he got the Velcros!”
Wanz:
I’m gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I'm, I'm, I'm hunting, looking for a come up
This is fucking awesome
I’m gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I'm, I'm, I'm hunting, looking for a come up
This is fucking awesome
Macklemore:
What you know about rocking a wolf on your noggin?
What you knowing about wearing a fur fox skin?
I’m digging, I’m digging, I’m searching right through that luggage
One man’s trash, that’s another man’s come up
Thank your granddad for donating that plaid button-
Up shirt, ‘cause right now, I’m up in here stuntin'
I’m at the Goodwill, you can find me in the (Uptons)
I’m that, I'm that sucker searching in this section (Uptons)
Your grammy, your aunty, your momma, your mammy
I’ll take those flannel zebra jammies, secondhand and rock that motherfucker
The built-in onesie with the socks on that motherfucker
I hit the party and they stop in that motherfucker
They be like “Oh that Gucci, that’s hella tight!”
I’m like “Yo, that’s fifty dollars for a t-shirt!”
Limited edition, let’s do some simple addition
Fifty dollars for a t-shirt, that’s just some ignorant bitch shit
I call that getting swindled and pimped, shit
I call that getting tricked by a business, that shirt’s hella dough
And having the same one as six other people in this club is a hella don’t
Peep game, come take a look through my telescope
Trying to get girls from a brand, man, you hella won’t
Man, you hella won’t
(Goodwill... poppin' tags... yeah!)
Wanz:
I’m gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I'm, I'm, I'm hunting, looking for a come up
This is fucking awesome
I'll wear your granddad's clothes
I look incredible
I’m in this big ass coat
From that thrift shop down the road
I wear your granddad's clothes (Damn right)
I look incredible (C'mon!)
I’m in this big ass coat (Big ass coat)
From that thrift shop down the road
I’m gonna pop some tags
Only got twenty dollars in my pocket
I'm, I'm, I'm hunting, looking for a come up
This is fucking awesome

Matt Simons

Matt Simons stijgt op 9 februari 2013 in de derde week notering van 17 naar 10 met With You. De track With You was dinsdag 8 januari 2013 te horen tijdens een dramatische ziekenhuisscène in aflevering 4.617 van Goede Tijden Slechte Tijden (GTST). Daarin werd het personage Bing kunstmatig in een coma gebracht, omdat hij anders een virus die hij na zijn behandeling voor lymfklierkanker niet zou overleven. Vele kijkers wilden het nummer hebben en zo begon het Nederlandse succes. Matt heeft daarna via Twitter de redactie van GTST bedankt voor het gebruik van zijn nummer.
In week 4 was het de 996e 3FM Megahit.

Matt Simons werd geboren in Brooklyn, New York, op 20 februari 1989. Hij studeerde aan het conservatorium van New York. Hij slaagde cum laude als uitvoerend jazzsaxofonist. In 2010 verscheen zij EP Living Proof.

Matt Simons - With You
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
a combination of truth and fear.
That's the way it's always been
my father and his before him.
At times we hurt the ones we love so dear.

Chorus:
I'll be with you, I'll be waiting for you
on the other side, on the other side.
And the winds that blow they'll guide you home,
get you through the night, get you through the night.
It'll all be right.

My job to control you,
darling, though I barely know you,
hoping you grow tired and start giving in.
Spout of holy water
pour it on my only daughter
maybe there's a shot she'll begin again.
Chorus
Bridge:
So wrong,
and I'm here to make it right for what it's worth
And I'm sorry, yes, I'm sorry if you never felt
the love, the love, the love that you deserve.
Chorus
It'll all be right

Tom Odell - Another Love

I want to take you somewhere so you know I care

But it's so cold and I don't know where

So I pick you daffodils, in a pretty string

But they won't flower like they did last spring

And I want to kiss you, make you feel alright

But I'm just so tired to share my nights

I want to cry and I want to love

But all my tears have been used up

On another love, another love

All my tears have been used up

On another love, another love

All my tears have been used up

On another love another love

All my tears have been used up

And if somebody hurts you, yeah I want to fight

But my hands been broken one too many times

So I use my voice, I'll be so damn rude

Words they always win, but I know I'll lose

Yeah, I'll sing a song, that'll be just ours

But I sang 'em all to another heart

And I want to cry, I want to learn to love

But all my tears have been used up

On another love, another love

All my tears have been used up

On another love, another love

All my tears have been used up

On another love, another love

All my tears have been used up

I wanna sing a song, that'd be just ours

But I sang 'em all to another heart

And I wanna cry, I wanna fall in love

But all my tears have been used up

On another love, another love

All my tears have been used up

On another love, another love

All my tears have been used up

On another love, another love

All my tears have been used up

drie singles haalde hij #1 in het Nederland anno 2010: Nothin' On You (twee weken met B.o.B), Billionaire (1 week) en Just The Way You Are (11 weken).

Bruno Mars - When I Was Your Man
Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh…
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know
I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
