Artiestinformatie


Pharrell Williams en Chad Hugo leren elkaar op 12-jarige leeftijd kennen. In hun vrije tijd maken ze samen beats en ook treden ze in verschillende groepen op met Timbaland. In 1992 besluit Teddy Riley, die de twee samen ziet optreden tijdens een talentenjacht, ze te contracteren. Samen produceren ze verschillende nummers en in 1999 besluiten ze het project N.E.R.D. te beginnen. Ook Shae Haley is, volgens Pharrell, een belangrijke factor bij de groep. De letters staan voor No-one Ever Really Dies. In 2001 verschijnt het debuutalbum In Search Of…


In de jaren die volgen scoort N.E.R.D. hits als Lapdance, She Wants To Move en Maybe. In 2010 brengen ze hun vierde album Nothing uit. Na die release schuift het project naar de achtergrond. Pas in 2017 treedt N.E.R.D. weer op de voorgrond als de track Lemon, waarop ook Rihanna te horen is, verschijnt. De track is de voorloper van het album No One Ever Really Dies.


Songtekst

Love was the egg
See and it was born in a cloud with silver lining
But it broke, I mean it hatched on the ground
So time flew right by me and while I...

I know you thought your life was goin be easy
When you didn't call you found that you where wrong
I know you thought your life was goin be easy
You thought you had it all but you found that you were wrong

See maybe there was something wrong
And you weren't telling me no
See maybe the laugh's on me
And life was telling me a joke

If something's yours and you let it go
If it comes back to you it was yours all along
When I let you go along with those lies from you
I wonder what else lies in you
Or did the lies just just eat gone

I know you thought your life was goin be easy
When you didn't call you found that you where wrong
I know you thought your life was goin be easy
You thought you had it all but you found that you were wrong

See maybe there was something wrong
And you weren't telling me no
See maybe the laugh's on me
And life was telling me a joke

Hold it now!
Is ya'll there?
How you feel right now?
Yeah me too
Hey yeah!
Hold it now!
Ya'll all right?

See do you remember
what its like to wake up in her love nest
get it love nest and now she's gone
gone gone gone

At which point you realize
Life is but a joke and the laughs on you
That's funny right
Babe
