Stereo Hearts

"Stereo Hearts" is a song by American group Gym Class Heroes featuring Adam Levine, lead singer of band Maroon 5. The song was released on June 14, 2011 as the lead single from the group's fifth studio album, The Papercut Chronicles II (2011).

Composition and recording

"Stereo Hearts", produced by Benny Blanco and Robopop begins with Maroon 5's Adam Levine singing the hook: "My heart's a stereo / It beats for you, so listen close/ Hear my thoughts in every note. / Make me your radio / Turn me up when you feel low / This melody was meant for you / So sing along to my stereo." McCoy then raps about serenading his ideal girl and picking love over animosity, all the while relaying the message using music-based metaphors. Additional Fender Rhodes was played by Austin Bis at Chalice Recording Studios in Los Angeles, CA.

Music video

Gym Class Heroes drummer Matt McGinley explained that the song's music video "basically plays on the idea that we're sort of just being casual, hanging out, being ourselves and our shadows get wild and get loose. The video shows the band playing in the city of New York and their shadows are playing on the ground."

Stereo (MGK song)

"Stereo" is a song by American hip hop recording artist MGK. The song was released on September 20, 2012 with an accompanying music video, and serves as the first promotional single from his debut studio album Lace Up. The single features vocals from Alex Fitts of The Kickdrums and was produced by Alex Kickdrum.

Background

"Stereo" is one of MGK's older songs, being previously featured on his 2010 mixtape: Lace Up!. It was released on September 20, 2012 with an accompanying music video, on his Vevo account. On his Twitter account, MGK stated that the music video was shot and finished over a year before it was officially released but wanted to wait for his upcoming album's release date to be closer. The track is featured on Lace Up - The Prelude, an EP released exclusively for Sony's Music Unlimited service. Lace Up - The Prelude was released on October 2, 2012.

Music video

The video was released through MGK's Vevo account to YouTube on September 20, 2012, and features a cameo appearance from Alex Fitts. The video, switches between MGK either riding in a custom painted tourbus also occupied by what appears to be prostitutes, or with a girlfriend whose father dislikes him, or rapping in an empty room. The second scenario portrays the songs lyrics; MGK is deeply in love with a girl but her father, a police officer, dislikes him and will go to great lengths to keep them apart. While the first scenario displays shots of MGK running from the police or him and Alex Fitts in the tourbus with all the other girls. The third scenario is shown after MGK is chased away by the police. The first and second scenarios eventually coincide with one another at the end of the video.

Stereo (1969 film)

Stereo is a 1969 Canadian film written, shot, edited and directed by David Cronenberg. It stars Ronald Mlodzik, who also appears in Cronenberg's Crimes of the Future, Shivers and Rabid. It was Cronenberg's first feature-length effort, following his two short films, Transfer and From the Drain. It is a brief feature film, with a running time of a little over one hour. This film is set in 1969.

The film has a 60% 'fresh' rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Summary

The film purports to be part of a "mosaic" of educational resources by the Canadian Academy of Erotic Enquiry. It documents an experiment by the unseen Dr. Luther Stringfellow. A young man (Ronald Mlodzik) in a black cloak is seen arriving at the Academy, where he joins a group of young volunteers who are being endowed with telepathic abilities which they are encouraged to develop through sexual exploration. It is hoped that telepathic groups, bonded in polymorphous sexual relationships, will form a socially stabilising replacement for the "obsolescent family unit". One girl develops a secondary personality in order to cope with her new state of consciousness, which gradually ousts her original personality. As the volunteers' abilities develop, the experimenters find themselves increasingly unable to control the progress of the experiment. They decide to separate the telepaths, which results in two suicides. The final sequence shows the young woman who developed an extra personality wearing the black cloak.

Stereo is the only studio album by American indie rock band Christie Front Drive. The album was released in 1996 by Caulfield Records and re-released as remastered edition with DVD by Magic Bullet Records. Bonus DVD contains the band's final performance in 1996.

    Stereo Hearts

    by: Gym Class Heroes

    [Adam Levine]
    My heart's a stereo
    It beats for you, so listen close
    Hear my thoughts in every note o-oh
    Make me your radio
    Turn me up when you feel low
    This melody was meant for you
    So sing along to my stereo[Travie McCoy]
    If I was just another dusty record on the shelf
    Would you blow me off and play me like everybody else
    If I asked you to scratch my back, could you manage that?
    Like it read well, check it, Travie, I can handle that
    Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks
    It's just the last girl that played me left a couple cracks
    I used to used to used to used to, now I'm over that
    Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts
    If I could only find a note to make you understand
    I'd sing it softly in your ear and grab you by the hands
    To keep me stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
    And know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you[Chorus]
    My heart's a stereo
    It beats for you, so listen close
    Hear my thoughts in every note
    Make me your radio
    Turn me up when you feel low
    This melody was meant for you
    So sing along to my stereo
    Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh, to my stereo
    Oh oh oh oh, so sing along to my stereo[Travie McCoy]
    If I was an old-school, fifty pound boombox
    Would you hold me on your shoulder, wherever you walk
    Would you turn my volume up in front of the cops
    And crank it higher every time they told you to stop
    And all I ask is that you don't get mad at me
    When you have to purchase mad D batteries
    Appreciate every mixtape your friends make
    You never know, we come and go like on the interstate
    I think finally found a note to make you understand
    If you can hit it, sing along and take me by the hand
    T' keep me stuck inside your head, like your favorite tune
    And know my heart's a stereo that only plays for you[Chorus]
    My heart's a stereo
    It beats for you, so listen close
    Hear my thoughts in every note o-oh
    Make me your radio
    Turn me up when you feel low
    This melody was meant for you
    So sing along to my stereo
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, to my stereo
    Oh oh oh oh, so sing along to my stereo[Bridge]
    I only pray you'll never leave me behind (never leave me)
    Because good music can be so hard to find (so hard to find)
    I'll take your hand and hold it closer to mine
    Thought love was dead, but now you're changing my mind[Chorus]
    My heart's a stereo
    It beats for you, so listen close
    Hear my thoughts in every note o-oh
    Make me your radio
    'N turn me up when you feel low
    This melody was meant for you
    So sing along to my stereo
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, to my stereo
    Oh oh oh oh, so sing along to my stereo
