"'Life (Diamonds in the Dark)" is a song by Swedish DJ and producer John Dahlbäck featuring Swedish recording artist Agnes. Dahlbäck originally released the instrumental version of the song called "Life" in February 2012, but later got Swedish singer Agnes to sing the vocals on the re-release. In an interview with American magazine "Billboard" Dahlbäck commented on the co-operation with Agnes; "“She’s one of the biggest pop stars in Sweden, so for me it was a big honor to have her on the track. This may not be what she’d do normally, but she’s very happy with the result.”
The song is released together with three remixes that will accompany the February 25 release. Dahlback selected remixes from Australian upstarts Feenixpawl, fellow Swedish DJs Lunde Bros., and Canadian electro-house artist Lazy Rich.

"I'm On The Mic"
"Life Interlude"
Life is the third studio album by funk/soul band Sly and the Family Stone, released in September 1968 on Epic/CBS Records.
Unlike its predecessor, Dance to the Music, Life was not a commercial success, although it has received mostly positive reviews from music critics over the years. Many of its songs, including "M'Lady", "Fun", "Love City", as well as the title track, became popular staples in the Family Stone's live show. A middle ground between the fiery A Whole New Thing and the more commercial Dance to the Music, Life features very little use of studio effects, and is instead more driven by frontman Sly Stone's compositions. Topics for the album's songs include the dating scene ("Dynamite!", "Chicken", "M'Lady"), groupies ("Jane is a Groupee"), and "plastic" (or "fake") people (the Beatlesque "Plastic Jim"). Of particular note is that the Family Stone's main themes of unity and integration are explored here in several songs ("Fun", "Harmony", "Life", and "Love City"). The next Family Stone LP, Stand!, would focus almost exclusively on these topics.
Ruiner, released on August 16, 2005 through Nitro Records, is the second full-length album from the Massachusetts-based melodic hardcore band A Wilhelm Scream, since changing their name from Smackin' Isaiah in 2002. It received mostly very favourable reviews.
Ruiner has been released four times, three times on CD and once on coloured 12" vinyl. Two of the CD releases, the original and Japanese edition, as well as the 12" vinyl, were released through Nitro Records in the same year. The Australian tour edition was released through Shock Records a year later during A Wilhelm Scream's first Australia tour, supporting Less Than Jake, hence the name. Despite the tour starting on October 31, 2006 and the album being sold whilst on the tour, the official release date was November 11. The track listing for the Nitro Records releases are identical, whilst the Australian tour edition contains a Ruiner session b-side entitled "Bodies and Suitcases". This song is by fault listed as "Bodies as Suitcases" on the album's track listing.
Ruiner was an American hardcore punk band from Baltimore, Maryland.
On October 5, 2004, Ruiner played their first show and released their first three song demo. On May 5, 2005, they released a 7” EP “What Could Possibly Go Right…” through Firestarter and Gravemistake Records. At the end of the summer in 2005, Ruiner signed with 1917 Records.
Lyrically, Ruiner touched on personal sentiments such as disillusion with the world, desolation, lost love, self-loathing and disappointment.
Ruiner played over 200 shows in their first year and half in existence and in their second year, the band headed to Europe for 31 shows in ten different countries. The band toured all over the world including Europe six times, Australia twice, as well as tours through Southeast Asia, China, and Japan, and many tours through Canada and Mexico. Their hard work paid off when Bridge Nine Records took notice and released their critically acclaimed full-length debut Prepare To Be Let Down in 2007.
In 2009, Ruiner took a break from their time on the road and holed themselves up back in Baltimore to work on writing their new album. The band headed to the studio in July with producer J. Robbins, and recorded the tracks for what would become Hell Is Empty.
You comb your hair you try to think of something interesting to say
The good news is to you attention is something they will pay
If you have nothing to lose then chances are you will be ok
Either way you lose I said that you have lost either way
I'm worthless and weak like that kid from the Twisted Sister vid
I put up an auction and I hope and pray for minimum bid
Trying never helps
They are everywhere, venom so lethal that you never stood a chance
They are everywhere... you should have stayed at home
Hide under the sheets, locking the doors, you're still there
Will you sew these eyes shut for me, don't want to see at all
It was easy all it took was just a maybe to take you down
What took years to build, amass, and put together is all gone now
Better men than you have fallen victim there's no way to fight it
Going blind would help or wearing blinders I have learned to like it
I can wear her clothes and pretend to be her and what would that do?
Nothing much I guess it has no point yo man this shit ain't cool
Wishing ever helps
You're no centaur, no minataur
He'd be powerless, sharpen that horn
What of pagasus? Saddled by lorne greene
The bonznza scene
You are so doomed
Your life is ruined
Will you sew these eyes shit for me?
