On My Way (Lea Michele song)
"On My Way" is the second single released by American singer and actress Lea Michele, taken from her debut studio album Louder (2014). It was released via digital download onto iTunes on May 4, 2014. The song was written by songwriters Ali Tamposi and Fernando Garibay, along with music producers Marcus Lomax, Jordan Johnson, Stefan Johnson and Clarence Coffee Jr., and was produced by The Monsters and the Strangerz and Kuk Harrell.
Live performances
Michele gave her first live performance of "On My Way" on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on March 19, 2014, after revealing on her Twitter account that the song would be the next single from Louder. Broadway.com reported of the performance: "The blossoming pop star proved once again that nothing beats a live performance."
Critical reception
The song has received generally positive reviews from music critics. Casey Lewis from Teen Vogue wrote: "And while "On My Way" boasts a powerful bass-heavy beat that's a bit of departure from the recent tracks we've heard from her, the lyrics are just as emotionally charged as what we've come to expect. This time around, she touches on a battle between her head and her heart (hey, who hasn't been there!)"
On My Way (Louis Armstrong song)
"On My Way" is a Louis Armstrong song that appeared on the album Louis and the Good Book in 1958 and was issued with "I'll String Along with You" as a single in 1959. It features a solo section with Louis and Trummy Young.
A variant of I'm on My Way (traditional song), Armstrong's version starts with "On My Way" or "I'm on My Way" (or similar phrases in various versions) and then goes into a chorus "On my way now, got on my traveling shoes...".
The song is no relation to "Oh, Lawd, I'm on My Way!", a song sung by Ella Fitzgerald the previous year (1957) on the Porgy and Bess album by Fitzgerald and Armstrong. That song begins: "Porgy and all, I'm on my way to a heav'nly lan'".

My Crime
by: Canned HeatI went to Denver
Late last fall
I went to do my job
Yeah I didn't break any law
We worked a hippie place
Like many in our land
They couldn't bust the place
And so they got the band
'Cause the police in Denver
No, they don't want none of them long hairs hanging around
And that's the reason why
They want to tear Canned Heat's reputation down
You people in Denver
Will know what I mean
Yeah, the things I'm gonna tell ya
Yeah, you've all heard and seen
You remember when a cop on the beat
Used to rob and steal
Today they're gone, but the others get it on
So you know just how I feel
'Cause the police in Denver
Lord, they don't want none of them long hairs hanging around
And that's the reason why
They try to tear Canned Heat's reputation down
Yeah, they try to tear it down, boy
They ain't gonna do it though
Let me tell you this just one more time
Just one more thing I wanna tell ya
Before I go
It's a shame the Man in Denver
Has to lie and mistreat people so
Now six months ain't no sentence
One year ain't no time
When I hear from one to ten
It worries my troubled mind
'Cause the police in Denver
Lord, don't want no long hairs around
And that's the reason why
