A record label is a brand or trademark associated with the marketing of music recordings and music videos. Often, a record label is also a publishing company that manages such brands and trademarks, coordinates the production, manufacture, distribution, marketing, promotion, and enforcement of copyright for sound recordings and music videos; conducts talent scouting and development of new artists ("artists and repertoire" or "A&R"); and maintains contracts with recording artists and their managers. The term "record label" derives from the circular label in the center of a vinyl record which prominently displays the manufacturer's name, along with other information.
Within the music industry, most recording artists have become increasingly reliant upon record labels to broaden their consumer base, market their albums, and be both promoted and heard on MP3, radio, and television, with publicists that assist performers in positive media reports to market their merchandise, and make it available via stores and other media outlets. The Internet has increasingly been a way that some artists avoid costs and gain new audiences, as well as the use of videos in some cases, to sell their products.
You know it's true
we can heal the scar
I just sat there with my eyes in tears
and I could have told all about my fears
Your soul escapes through your mouth so shut it
The truth escapes from your tongue so cut it
Why can't you say it like it is
Why do you run along the shore
Can't you just cross the water
The ice is thick enough so
Go, go, go
You know it's true, we can heal the scar
Heart got on a different trail
(It's) like and earthquake
I'd say you collide like a rocket
Heart got on a different trail
(with the) speed of light on a sunday
Do you think there is a coming back
Hello, hello, woo-oo
I just sat there, I had gone too far
You know it's true, we can heal the scar
You told a lie, now you need another
you'll need stiches to sew them all together
