Bob Dylan - one more night, 1969
"It’s a fun jolly tune, very singable, very easy to get the hang of, and with dead simple words that have nothing to do with the music. Why not throw a brick through the window half way through, just to make sure we are still awake? Just to remind us this is Bob Dylan."

Paul McCartney And Ringo Starr - home to us, 2026
"We decided to give one line to me, the next line to Ringo, one line to me. It was really nice, because we've never done that."
The Beatles - paperback writer, 1966
"Years ago, my Auntie Lil said to me, 'Why do you always write songs about love all the time? Can't you ever write about a horse or the summit conference or something interesting?' So, I thought, 'All right, Auntie Lil.'"

Tilly And The Wall - bessa, 2004
"The album starts like a party (albeit a 'let's fuck things up and make a mark on a world that doesn't care about us' sort of party) but by the third track gets more musically introspective, with the piano/guitar/tap shoes ballad "Bessa," a moving slice-of-life breakup song. "Bessa" was written "with help from" Blake Sennett of The Elected and Rilo Kiley; the album is the first release on Conor Oberst's new label Team Love, and there's appearances throughout by a few of the stalwart Saddle Creek accompanists."

Pink Floyd - young lust, 1979
"a blues-inflected hard rock number in E minor, approximately 3 minutes, 25 seconds in length. The song was composed by David Gilmour, who also provided lead vocals with backing vocals from Roger Waters during the chorus, who wrote the lyrics."
A-ha - velvet, 2000
"Originally, "The Sun Never Shone That Day" was to be released in Norway instead of "Velvet", but it was later decided that "Velvet" would also be released in Norway."
Pet Shop Boys - the squadron, 2005
"After the crew members debate their next steps ("Stormy Meetings"), they settle in for the night ("Night Falls"). As they sleep, however, a squadron of intercepting battleships approaches. Alerted to this, the crew prepares to defend themselves ("Full Steam Ahead") — a battle they know they are doomed to lose unless they can persuade the crews of the approaching ships to join them in revolution. As the squadron bears down on the Potemkin ("The Squadron"), its crew members signal, "Join us!" After a few tense moments in which it appears a battle is inevitable, the other crews stand down, agreeing to join the revolution ("For Freedom"). The Potemkin — and the revolution — is saved."
