It's just a couple of songs from Liam's COMPLETELY NORMAL exercise playlist that he made for Apple Music, so there's nothing much to see here, move along please, thank you...
"Meet your new running coach. This playlist might not help you "Live Forever", but it'll inspire some better habits than "Cigarettes and Alcohol" and leave you a far sharper "Rock 'n' Roll Star"-just like the former Oasis frontman."
"I get up every morning and go for a run. It's good for you, it's good for your mind. Here's a list of tracks to get you going. You better run..." Liam tells Apple Music.
Loving you isn't the right thing to do?
How can I ever change things that I feel?
If I could, baby, I'd give you my world.
How can I when you won't take it from me?
You can go your own way, you can call it another lonely day.
You can go your own way, go your own way...
[Written by Lindsey Buckingham for Stevie Nicks, d'uh!]
Nothing here to see, just a kid like me trying to cut some teeth, trying to figure it out.
Nothing better to do, when I'm stuck on you and I'm still, I'm here trying to figure it out.
Getting hard to sleep, blood is in my dreams, love is killing me, trying to figure it out.
I'll let it go 'cause I won't see you later and we're not allowed to talk it out.
I said I'd go, I won't see you later and we're not allowed to figure it out...
Don't get me wrong if I'm looking kind of dazzled, I see neon lights whenever you walk by.
Don't get me wrong if I'm acting so distracted, I'm thinking about the fireworks that go off when you smile.
Don't get me wrong if I come and go like fashion, I might be great tomorrow but hopeless yesterday.
Don't get me wrong, if I fall in the mode of passion, it might be unbelievable, but let's not say, "So long".
It might just be fantastic, don't get me wrong.
It doesn't hurt me.
Do you wanna feel how it feels?
Do you wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you wanna hear about the deal that I'm making?
You, it's you and me.
You don't wanna hurt me but see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware I'm tearin' you asunder.
There is thunder in our hearts.
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Oh, tell me, we both matter, don't we?
Say, if I only could, I'd make a deal with God and I'd get Him to swap our places.
I'd be runnin' up that road, be runnin' up that hill with no problems.
Say, if I only could, I'd be runnin' up that hill with no problems.
How does it feel to treat me like you do?
When you've laid your hands upon me and told me who you are?
I thought I was mistaken. I thought I heard your words.
Tell me, how do I feel (...)
And I still find it so hard to say what I need to say.
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me just how I should feel today.
I see a ship in the harbour, I can and shall obey.
But if it wasn't for your misfortune, I'd be a heavenly person today.
Now I stand here waiting...
I thought I told you to leave me while I walked down to the beach.
Tell me how does it feel when your heart grows cold?!
Oh my Lord, we really did it now.
I'm a monster and you're my sacred cow.
But I can keep running, no, I can keep on running.
How can anybody have you?
How can anybody have you and lose you?
How can anybody have you and lose you and not lose their minds, too?
I guess that's just me, honey, I guess that's how I'm built.
I try to tell you I love you, but it comes out all sick.
I try to write you a love song but it comes out a lament...
I've gone so far, my hands are hard but I wanna touch you ’cause I know you're lonely.
I've seen despair, but I still care.
My heart is together, my head is exploding.
Everyone out there says you've been going a bit too hard, testing man and god, tryin' to make the scene.
Why don't you come back to me?!
Well, I'm so above you and it's plain to see.
But I came to love you anyway.
So you pulled my heart out and I don′t mind bleeding.
Any old time you keep me waiting...
Well, your mama kept you, but your daddy left you.
And I should've done you just the same.
But I came to love you, am I born to bleed?
I'm a lonely boy, I got a love that keeps me waiting.
What I feel I can't say, but my love is there for you any time of day.
But if it's not love that you need, then I'll try my best to make everything succeed.
Tell me what is my life without your love, tell me who am I without you by my side.
Tell me who am I?
Amongst your hounds of loving,
I feel your arms surrounding me.
I've always been a coward and I don't know what's good for me.
Watch, here I go, don't let me go.
Hold me down, it's coming at me through the tree.
Help me, someone, help me, please.
Take my shoes off and I will throw them in the lake.
And I will be two steps on the water.
Do you know what I need?
I need a (yeah, yeah, yeah...)
p.s. the whole playlist ends with Lyla:
Hey Lyla, the stars about to fall so what you say?
The world around us makes me feel so small,
If you can't hear me call, then I can't say,
Heaven help you catch me if I fall!
..................................................are......................are you ready for a run now?........less go ccoggin' then.......
I’m glad Liam put “The Shankill Butchers” on his playlist as the “Childhood Lost. Astrid. Eodwulf. Caleb.” song. (Even if it is the most disturbing part of the playlist.) It’s a perhaps unexpected but very different read on his childhood than some of the other historic parallels people have thrown out there.
If you need a historical comparison, the paramilitary groups formed in the fairly recent sectarian violence in Northern Ireland works better for the kind of indoctrination and grooming Caleb went through as a child soldier than a lot of the other options.
It’s still not a perfect or even necessarily a good fit (it seems to me certain lines of the song connected with Liam more than the subject matter, and nothing will be a perfect fit because Caleb’s story is fictional), and the real life subjects of the song are not people to be pitied in the slightest, but if there was going to be a real-world comparison drawn I appreciate Liam steering away from some of the “obvious” ones that hold a lot of unfortunate implications.
A big boo hiss to that English git who cancelled on you! With the classic R and B for Liam, I'd reckon there would be a bit of Bell Biv Devoe and Boyz II Men, along with some Temptations and Earth Wind and Fire because there's a bit of everything in all their songs, then he'd have a little James Brown to finish!
Anon #1: “How about some R Kelly for Liam’s playlist? Ignition!”
Anon #2: “How about a Leona Lewis track on Liam’s playlist? In honor of how he was a fan haha. And Ordinary People by John Legend - (Can I just say that I for one would pay all the dollah dollah bills for a recording of him singing this in karaoke?) And maybe something Bruno Mars? Does this make any sense. Lol.”
ALL OF THESE ARE PERFECT. Liam’s playlist is really coming together seamlessly. I will say right now that there will not only be Remix to Ignition but also the original Ignition which EXISTS if you can believe it.
And holy hell. I’ve never longed to be in an Applebee’s, but I would give anything to have been in that Applebee’s when Liam sang “Ordinary People”
Also it appears Liam’s playlist is going to be a combination of Dance Jams and Sex Jams which honestly feels accurate.
I'm a victim of my instinct.
Unraveling and reeling, think I'm wise.
Our freedom can be deadly.
I watch the walls around me, falling down.
So far away, from safe and sound.
I've lost control, I've lost control
Where do I run? Where do I run now?
There's no easy way, no easy way out.
When everything's come, when everything's come, undone.
There's no easy way, no easy way, out.
I'm prisoned, but believing.
Twisting my delusions, best beware.
My peace can be deceiving.
I'm steady in the deep end of despair.
So far away, from safe and sound.
I've lost control, I've lost control
Now smoke rises high from your head, morning mist laying dead on naked shoulders, no flowers no thorns. Hey, love, stay the fuck out of my home I’ve told you a thousand times, ‘cause my brain tells me you’re dangerous and my belly says you’re just too hard to find. A kiss from swollen lips of ashes will probably blow this whole winter away but something tells me this is just not real, something tells me this smoke is here to stay... it was supposed to be an endless day.
