Noddy Holder
Neville John "Noddy" Holder MBE (born 15 June 1946) is an English musician and actor. He was the lead vocalist and guitarist of English glam rock band Slade, one of the UK's most successful acts of the 1970s. Holder co-wrote most of Slade's material with bassist Jim Lea.
Early life and career
Holder was born in the Caldmore area, near the centre of Walsall, Staffordshire, England. As a child he moved with his family to the Beechdale Estate, a council estate in the north of the town. The son of a window cleaner, Holder passed the Eleven plus exam and attended a grammar school for a year until it closed. He then attended the new T. P. Riley Comprehensive School and passed 6 GCE O-level exams. He formed a group called the Rockin' Phantoms with school friends at the age of 13, and with money earned from a part-time job, he bought a guitar and an amplifier. He also used his father's window-cleaning van to drive Robert Plant to gigs with Plant's band at the time, the Tennessee Teens. Holder turned professional with a band called the Memphis Cutouts and then with Steve Brett & the Mavericks in the early '60s made four singles for Columbia Records.
How Long (Ace song)
"How Long" is a 1974 song by the British group Ace from their album Five-A-Side. It reached No. 3 in the US and Canadian charts, and No. 20 in the UK chart.
Although widely interpreted as being about adultery, the song was in fact composed by lead singer Paul Carrack upon discovering that bassist Terry Comer had been secretly working with the Sutherland Brothers and Quiver. Comer returned to Ace in time to play on the song.
The guitar solo is by Alan "Barn" King.
Covers
In 1976 Bobby Womack recorded a version that appeared on the Home Is Where The Heart Is album
In 1977 Barbara Mandrell recorded a country/disco version of the song on her Love's Ups & Downs album.
In 1981 Rod Stewart covered the song on the album Tonight I'm Yours. It charted in the top fifty of the Billboard Hot 100.
In 1981 Lipps Inc. released a remake of this song which reached No. 4 on the U.S. dance chart, No. 29 on the U.S. soul singles chart, and No. 42 in Canada. In 2010, it was still in rotation on satellite radio. The track Timecode, released in 2004 by German techno producer Justus Köhncke, is built around the characteristic intro of the Lipps Inc. version.

Extreme Behavior
Extreme Behavior is the debut album of rock band Hinder. It was released in 2005 by Universal Records to almost universally negative reviews, before going platinum in September 2006. All songs were co-written by Brian Howes, except for "Shoulda", which was co-written with Brian Howes and Social Code. The song "Running in the Rain" did not make the cut for the album, but has been played at concerts on their North American tour. Due to use of profanity in three songs, Extreme Behavior was the only Hinder record to receive a Parental Advisory label until the release of the deluxe version of All American Nightmare and their 2012 album Welcome to the Freakshow.
Release
The first single (and the song that brought attention to the band) was "Get Stoned". The album also contains Hinder's breakthrough single, "Lips of an Angel" which soared to #1 on the pop charts in 2006. The album's third single was "How Long", which was played on rock stations throughout the US. "Better Than Me" is the fourth single on Extreme Behavior. As of July 11, 2007, the album has sold 2,789,275 copies in the US. Despite not being released as a single, the song "By the Way" also had received airplay from several radio stations.

How Long?
by: LifehouseClimb on top of all you despise
It's a better view from the lies
Two steps behind before I've begun
Time stops to tell me all I could have done
So, how long 'til the world will be completed?
How many times will history repeat it?
How long will it take, how long, how long?
I want to go, will you show me the way?
I'd rather be wrong than be deceived
To thinking that I have believe
That I can stand to be here on my own
There's too many questions that we won't ask
In hopes that this too will pass
But how far down do we have to go before we know it?
How long 'til the world will be completed?
How many times will history repeat it?
How long will it take, how long, how long?
I want to go, will you show me the way?
How long 'til the world will be completed?
How many times will history repeat it?
How long will it take, how long, how long?
I want to go, will you show me the way?
How long, how long, how long will it take, how long?
How long, how long?
I want to go, will you show me the way?
How long, how long, how long will it take?
How long 'til the world could be completed?
How many times will history repeat it?
How long 'til the words fall to the pages?
