"Take Me Away" is the song recorded by the Dutch group Twenty 4 Seven. It was released as the third single from their second album, Slave to the Music, in 1994. Unlike previous singles from the album, the song did not feature any raps. The single was a hit in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden and Belgium, and peaked at number 11 in the Netherlands on the Dutch Top 40. (In America, "Slave to the Music" and "Leave Them Alone" were their only minor hits in that country). A studio video was shot in Johannesburg, Durban, and Cape Town (South Africa).
"Supersonic" is the debut single by the English rock band Oasis, written by lead guitarist Noel Gallagher. The song appears on their debut album Definitely Maybe, released in August 1994.
Release and rankings
The song was released on 11 April 1994 and peaked at number 31 on the UK Singles Chart, Oasis's lowest-peaking single. However, over time it has amassed sales of over 215,000, making it their 13th biggest selling single ever in the UK, even outselling their 2002 number one "The Hindu Times", and both of their 2005 number ones, "Lyla" and "The Importance of Being Idle".
"Supersonic" was also the band's first single to chart in the United States, where it peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart on 10 December 1994. The song was performed by the band on their debut national TV performance on Channel 4's The Word. It remains a favourite song of both the band and their fans (on the Definitely Maybe DVD, Noel cites it as his favourite Oasis song). The single went silver in the UK in 2006.
"Pocketful of Sunshine" is a song performed by British singer and songwriter Natasha Bedingfield, released as the second single from her second North American studio album of the same name (2008). Bedingfield co-wrote the song together with American songwriter Danielle Brisebois and American musician and songwriter John Shanks; Shanks also produced the track as well as performing on most of the instruments present. Epic Records serviced the song to mainstream radios on 11 February 2008 in the United States. It received an international release in spring 2011 to promote the release of Strip Me Away (2011).
Bedingfield noted "Pocketful of Sunshine" as her favorite, stating that it centers on escaping from one's troubles. It adapts dance-pop and adult contemporary styles, differing from her previous recordings. Lyrically, the song discusses escapism and finding a peaceful place in difficult situations. The message is amplified by the melancholic tone of the lyrics mixing with the exuberance displayed in Bedingfield's voice. "Pocketful of Sunshine" was well received by contemporary music critics; the majority of them named it as one of the album's highlights. Several critics also praised it as a bright and lively summer tune.

Discover what new love is all about
Trying to close my mind of many folks running me wrong
This case won't leave me alone
We've gone working the wack
Trying to trash my stature we won't go
On a tedious to go pull strings
Turbeo wanna clip my wings
Through swadies purt to play
Rascals running with teeth quechin' needed so can you...
Take me away
Take me to a place where our love must be alone, oh yeah
Take me away
Take me by the hand and control what is going on, oh yea
No matter what we may go through you got to understand
That I want you I need you each day
So take me away
Take me to a place where our love must be alone, oh yeah
I, I never was too shy
I really don't know why
Tonight is gonna be alright
Hey, let's try to get away
This love is here to stay
Because you make me feel this way
Pressure wants to punch my poise
Church stealing my joys
Time strip wanna take my toys
Swindlin' my supplies
The squeeze but it's lacking the breeze
Vics though seek the please
The readings found the gold
The devil's taking us over
We can break for mine decay
Bitterness all over my back
Need tension, quenching, can you...
Take me away
Take me to a place where our love must be alone, oh yeah
Take me away
Take me by the hand and control what is going on, oh yeah
