Here I Go Again

"Here I Go Again" is a song by British rock band Whitesnake. Originally released on their 1982 album, Saints & Sinners, the song was re-recorded for their eponymous 1987 album Whitesnake. The song was re-recorded yet another time that year in a new "radio-mix" version. The 1987 album version hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on 10 October 1987, and number nine on the UK Singles Chart on 28 November 1987. The 1987 version also hit number one on the Canadian Singles Chart on 24 October 1987. In 2006, the 1987 version was ranked number 17 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the '80s.

Background and writing

The song was written by the lead singer, David Coverdale, and former Whitesnake guitarist, Bernie Marsden. The most notable differences between the original and re-recorded versions are a slight change in the lyrics. The chorus of the original version features the lines:

In an interview, Coverdale explained that "hobo" was changed to "drifter" in the re-recorded version to ensure that it would not be misheard as "homo."

Music of the Sun

Music of the Sun is the debut studio album by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna. It was released by Def Jam Recordings on August 30, 2005. Prior to signing with Def Jam, Rihanna was discovered by record producer Evan Rogers in Barbados, who helped Rihanna record demo tapes to send out to several record labels. Jay-Z, the former chief executive officer (CEO) and president of Def Jam, was given Rihanna's demo by Jay Brown, his A&R at Def Jam, and invited her to audition for the label after hearing what turned out to be her first single, "Pon de Replay". She auditioned for Jay-Z and L.A. Reid, the former CEO and president of record label group The Island Def Jam Music Group, and was signed on the spot to prevent her from signing with another record label.

After Rihanna was signed by Jay-Z, she continued to work with Rogers and his production partner Carl Sturken, as well as other music producers such as, Poke & Tone, D. "Supa Dups" Chin-quee, and StarGate. Music of the Sun features vocals from Canadian rapper Kardinal Offishall, music group J-Status, and Jamaican singer Vybz Kartel. Its music incorporates Caribbean music such as dancehall and reggae, as well as dance-pop and R&B ballads.

Here I Go Again (The Hollies song)

"Here I Go Again" is a song by The Hollies, words and music written by Mort Shuman and Clive Westlake.

The song gave name to an album issued by the American Imperial Records in June that year that is largely based on Stay with The Hollies and an EP issued by Parlophone in December.

    Here I Go Again

    by: Anuhea

    Another day another dollar
    Stepping down I seem taller
    Been here before, but not so sure
    If I should open up that other door
    World in my hands to make it smaller
    Boy I got it pretty nice, why let it go so easy
    Comfort's first to sacrifice, I grow from the pain within me
    Why do I do this, why do I do this to me?
    Here I go here I go here I go again
    Here I go here I go here I go again
    Here I go here I go here I go again
    Breaking it down to build it up all over again, yeah
    Nice to meet you, you like my style
    I'm digging your vibes, eyes body and smile
    I'm thinking me and you should chill out for awhile
    Running faster than my feet can go
    Its like you're all I'd ever known
    Fall apart to realize I'm all alone
    It's my tendency to fall in and out of everything
    A waste of my energy is all it ends up being for me
    Why do I do this, why do I do this to me?
    Here I go here I go here I go again
    Here I go here I go here I go again
    Here I go here I go here I go again
    Running away to say hello all over again
    I have to be always true to me
    Can't have pleasure without some pain
    Nothing grows without sun and rain
    It's not so easy but its where I want to be
    And find serenity
    Here I go here I go here I go again
    Here I go here I go here I go again
    Here I go here I go here I go again
    Breaking it down to build it up all over again, yeah
    Here I go here I go here I go
