Lyrics
Wrong way home again
Some roads never end
Half way home to bed
Have you nothing left
Oh in my head
And in my sleep
Where in my dreaming hours have you been
Can I be brave enough to believe
In all this changing up my sleeve
Oh tell me baby, baby , baby I don't learn
Baby, baby, baby, I don't learn
Not when I'm lost, not when I'm blue
What was I thinking if not of you
In orbit so confused
Now you complicate every path I make
Tell me what to do
Have I still got nothing left?
Oh baby, baby, baby - I don't learn
Baby, baby, baby - I don't learn!
Wrong way out of here
Some roads never end
Half way home to my bed
Half way in my head
But in my head and in my sleep
What was I thinking I would perceive
What was I thinking of to be free
What was I thinking, if not of me?
I don't know if I'm going to make it
Day and night and day in
Run around and face it
Am I really changing?
Am I gonna make it?
Day and night and day in
Run around and face it
What was I thinking baby?
Baby, baby, baby - I don't learn ! Baby, baby, baby - I don't learn !
Baby, baby, baby - I don't learn ! Baby, baby, baby - I don't learn !

Godspeed has played a small part in James Street North history.

Hundreds packed the seated theatre to hear the then-nine-piece Montreal band's intensely emotional instrumental tracks in March 2003. The venue closed forever soon after as part of the building collapsed in 2004.
Decades later, the group returned to the city with decades of albums and stage experience — minus a lengthy hiatus in early 2000s — to play a Supercrawl-presented show at Bridgeworks in November 2024.
Godspeed's newest album, 'NO TITLE AS OF 13 FEBRUARY 2024, 28,340 DEAD,' follows the same intensity with droning chords and impactful crescendos.

GroomYourGram: The Profit-First Influencer Agency Rewriting India's Marketing Playbook
In a space often defined by vanity metrics and unpredictability, GroomYourGram has emerged as a refreshingly grounded and profitable force in influencer marketing. Founded five years ago, this Mumbai-based agency has worked with over 300 brands and powered more than 1,000 campaigns—ranging from beauty and skincare to automobile and finance. With a team of 32 operating out of its Lokhandwala office, GroomYourGram delivers not only scale but results. A core strength lies in its unparalleled access to India's creator economy. With a curated community of over 400,000 influencers and 10,000+ active campaign participants monthly, GroomYourGram helps brands like Juicy Chemistry, Tira Beauty, Pilgrim, and Dot & Key craft meaningful narratives. On the corporate front, the agency has driven HDFC Bank's LinkedIn growth strategy and supported pharma giants such as Cipla Health and Glenmark in awareness initiatives. From pioneering Instagram Reels marketing to being among the top 4 agencies for Moj, GroomYourGram has always anticipated trends before they broke mainstream. It has led campaigns with celebrities like Kiara Advani, Janhvi Kapoor, and Ranveer Singh for brands including Mercedes-Benz, Renault, Skoda Kylak, Pepe Jeans, Snitch, and Spykar. Spearheaded by Palak Tannaa, who commands a LinkedIn audience of over 62,000 professionals, the team combines creative ingenuity with data intelligence. Despite multiple investment offers, the agency continues to be self-funded—prioritizing vision over valuation. As a brand that has been profitable since Day One, GroomYourGram exemplifies what happens when influence meets intention. What sets the agency apart is its refusal to follow a one-size-fits-all strategy. Each campaign is customized—whether it's for a youth-centric fashion brand like Freakins or a global skincare label entering Tier II cities. Their campaigns aren't just viral—they're valuable. The agency's model blends strategy with scale. In a world saturated by content, it doesn't just amplify messages—it aligns them with audiences that matter. Fashion clients like Libas, Spykar, and Pepe Jeans see tailored influencer-led storytelling campaigns that go beyond 'likes' and drive brand lift. Healthcare and pharma clients get compliance-ready creativity, while finance brands benefit from thought leadership-led influencer models. Internally, the company operates like a startup but performs like an enterprise. Its operational agility allows quick campaign turnaround, while its in-house tech stack and talent pipeline ensure scalability without compromise. The company is in the process of rolling out an AI-powered influencer analytics tool to further help brands measure ROI and sentiment in real time. With its finger firmly on the cultural pulse, GroomYourGram is not just building campaigns—it's building a new marketing DNA for India's digital-first brands. As brands in India increasingly seek partners who can combine storytelling, performance, and trust, GroomYourGram is becoming the agency of choice—not just for creators and companies, but for the future of digital India. For Business Upturn readers who track growth-focused stories and high-ROI ventures, this isn't just about numbers. It's about sustainable scale, high-value execution, and the future of profitable digital innovation. FOR MORE INFORMATION: Ahmedabad Plane Crash

28 Genuinely Cool TikTok-Approved Things You Won't Forget About 5 Seconds After You Scroll By
A NeeDoh "Dream Drop," the latest release from the *elite* Needoh sensory fidget toy line for anyone who wants to add more calm and focus to their day. This goo-filled, delightfully colorful fidget has a satisfying squish with a "slow rise" before going back to its original shape. Reviewers also love that it doesn't have the kind of stickiness that picks up debris and makes it hard to clean. A Baccarat Rouge 540-inspired moisturizing body wash infused with white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers swear by for a cheap alternative to keep that delectably luxe scent on them all day long. Nothing wrong with smelling a lil' ~~expensive~~! A set of faux coffee table books inspired by the iconic (and verrrry expensive) Assouline travel series, except with a ~secret~ — these all open with a magnetic lid to become storage compartments. Now you can either declutter your coffee table by stashing your knick knacks, or hide your valuables by putting these books on a shelf! Nuts 'N More's Chocolate Maple Pretzel Peanut Butter Spread, which just put so many beautiful words in such a small space that I am salivating just TYPING them. Whomstsoever thought up a flavor so perfectly sweet, salty, crunchy, and smooth at the same time deserves to only ever get green lights and always have their pillowcase cool. Lumify Eye Drops, a product so beloved by TikTok that despite being more $$ than other brands, it's the number one selling brand on Amazon right now. Reviewers swear by this for instant reduction in redness in their eyes, with visible differences within a minute of use. A TikTok-famous "Soft" perfume rollerball that honestly has no right smelling so delectable and layering so well considering it's only five cash dollars. Reviewers are obsessed with the scent's warm sweetness with a hint of citrusy zest, comparing it to waffle cones, lemon pound cake, and warm vanilla scones ... and this $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀. Murdle, Volume 1, a true essential for anyone who relaxes to true crime podcasts or Only Murders in the Building. The book is full of 100 mystery-themed logic puzzles with four different levels of difficulty that they can do solo or with pals, and in order or out of order (although if they do it in order, they get the full scoop on Deductive Logico and Inspector Irratino, whose hilarious misadventures guide you through the book). Clinique Almost Lipstick Tinted Lip Balm in Black Honey you're definitely going to want to stock up on *now*, before TikTokers go feral again (guilty as charged). This cult-classic, lightweight, slightly glossy shade is beyond "holy grail" status — it matches skin tones so beautifully that I'm personally starting to suspect witchcraft, after seeing so many TikToks of it subtly transforming entire beauty looks with just a few swipes. "Pocket World," an adult stress relief coloring book full of whimsical miniature Polly Pocket-esque worlds to color, with no two alike. I'm talking fairy gardens, tiny hygge-style living rooms, quirky restaurants, and more. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener, which became the internet's holy grail for concealing and brightening dark circles under your eyes so fast that everyone's old concealers are doing double takes. This lightweight color-adapting formula is designed for truly ~invisible~ coverage that makes a drastic difference. Bachan's Japanese Barbecue Sauce, which is basically what happens when teriyaki sauce and barbecue sauce have an absurdly delicious baby. Reviewers are obsessed with putting this umami + savory + sweet sauce on just about everything they can. A beautifully packaged, travel-friendly Touchland Power Mist hydrating hand sanitizer for anyone who's like "mindfully practicing health and safety, but make it fashion." Unlike other sanitizer sprays, it's infused with aloe vera to keep your skin hydrated and has the most luxurious floral scents. A collapsible Magic Mushroom funnel so you can feel like an enchanted forest nymph while you funnel your coffee, wine, baking ingredients, or mystical potions. A cleverly designed rechargeable electric candle lighter with a flexible neck so you can light all your coziest, deepest candles without worrying about the "YIKES" of being near an open flame. This is also windproof and super portable for anyone looking for options to light candles or fires outside, too! A copy of Burn After Writing, a guided journal that tens of thousands of reviewers swear by — through a series of questions and thought experiments, it encourages people to take time away from their screens to explore their feelings, both new and old, so they can embrace meaningful ones and try to let others go. A set of pastel glitter highlighters I saw on Instagram recently and NEARLY BLACKED OUT from the cuteness. If you like highlighting your planner pages, favorite passages from books, or lines from your journal, please do yourself a favor and purchase these subtle but oh-so-sparkly colors to jazz them up ✨. E.l.f's brand new Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara, a GODSEND for anyone with thin or fragile lashes. This uses lightweight ~tubing~ technology to wrap around lashes and give them a natural-looking, smudge-proof extension so good it almost looks fake. The real boon, though, is how easily the "tubes" slide off in clean, easy swipes at the end of the day when you're washing your face — absolutely no smudging, over-scrubbing, or special eye makeup removal products required. A Dazzle Dry mini kit for nails that not only dry HARD in five minutes like a gel manicure, but last as long as one. If you are a busy or impatient human, or just plain sick of siphoning money into gel manicures, I BEG YOU to switch over to this. It is by far the best thing I have ever done for the health of my nails and to save myself nail-related stress and time. MagicMinerals AirBrush Foundation, your new favorite alternative to Dior's (discontinued!!) Airflash that lives up to the hype — one quick spray of the foundation on the included brush, and it glides so smoothly and subtly over your skin texture that you'll feel like a makeup artist did it for you. Reviewers in their thirties, forties, and up especially swear by this lightweight but effective formula, and love that it's ridiculously easy to use. Kitsch's Zig Zag Headbands, an iconic callback to the '90s style with a chic modern update. This is designed to work for all hair types, letting you add some volume and cheeky playfulness to the rest of your look. Reviewers especially love that these don't give them headaches like other headbands! A set of vinyl coasters to give your coffee table a delightfully retro nostalgic touch *and* protect it from the perils of condensation. Death Wish Instant Coffee Packets so downright (dare I say, DANGEROUSLY) delicious that even the biggest coffee snobs you know might trade in their precious pour-overs. That is, if they can handle the 300mg of caffeine per cup 👀. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles — regular firm bristles and longer ones that are ten times thinner to clean deep in between your teeth and gums to mimic flossing. Reviewers love how deep the clean feels, and also how soft it is on sensitive teeth! "The Forest Feast," yet another addition to the cult-favorite Magic Puzzle series so beloved on TikTok. Like the others before it, this isn't just a puzzle, but a whimsically illustrated, colorful journey — there are tons of Easter eggs in it, a collection of miniature scenes full of optical illusions and surprises, *plus* a magical twist at the end. You'll have to solve the puzzle to find out! A pair of ~dreamlux~ leggings made with an oh-so-buttery soft material reviewers compare to Lululemon's Align ... but WAY cheaper. If you're looking for a reliably squatproof, comfy, compressive legging, look no further than these. Essence's "What the Fake!" Plumping Lip Filler to give your lips a lil' extra ~vavoom~ — this tingly formula not only volumizes your lips, but it's made with hyaluronic acid and vitamin E to leave them extra moisturized and hydrated. A light-up flying orb that's basically like if an alien made a boomerang and then dropped it on Earth — it's designed to ricochet back when you throw it, so you'll feel like you're bending space and time from your own living room. Gravity WHOMST???? A rotating disco ball diffuser because sometimes "come on Barbie let's go party" secretly means "come on Barbie let's diffuse some citrus essential oils and try to shake off that afternoon nap." This lil' bub will give you the best of both worlds.

Heather Graham's secrets to fountain of youth as she admits she's happier than ever in her 50s
Heather Graham navigates the pressures of staying youthful in Hollywood with ease. Graham shared her secrets with Retreat Magazine about her philosophy when it comes to aging. Advertisement 'I think what matters most is how you feel inside. Decide that you're hot and enjoy your life. What other people think of you is none of your business. If you feel good about yourself, no one can take that away from you. Pursue the things that fill you with joy, and surround yourself with loving people,' the 55-year-old actress said. Graham continued, 'I don't drink or do drugs, and I get a lot of sleep. Eating healthy makes me feel good. I like cooking for myself and other people. And I love it when people cook for me. Basically, I like eating! Also, I do affirmations. I think they are very powerful. I work on strengthening my inner loving parent muscle, so I can be supportive and loving to myself. One of my affirmations is: 'This is the best time of my life.'' During an interview with People in April, Graham admitted to being a happier person after she turned 55. 'I feel like as I get older, I just care less about things that don't matter. Everyone gets upset sometimes, but I think that I'm happier. I've done enough hard work on myself that I feel like I'm a happier person now,' Graham, who turned 55 in January, told the outlet. Advertisement 5 Heather Graham poses for a photo in a hot tub in Jackson, Wyoming, in December 2024. Heather Graham/Instagram The 'Boogie Nights' star has been focused on wellness since she was 21. Graham works out, eats healthily, does yoga and meditates. The actress told Retreat Magazine that even incorporating those things into her daily routine does not compare to having 'loving people around you.' Advertisement 'I have some wonderful friends, and I am so grateful for them.' 'I think the most important thing is to love yourself, because then you have more love to give. Fill up your cup first before you give to other people. Also, it's so good to have a sense of humor!' Graham said. 5 The 'Boogie Nights' star has been focused on wellness since she was 21.

Lefkowitz / New Line Cinema Advertisement Along with her wellness secrets, Graham does not drink or do drugs. However, she is part of an AI-Anon, which is a 12-step group for people who have a friend or family member who struggles with addiction. 'I have never had a problem with drinking or drugs, but sometimes I have problems with relationships. Or if you have any difficult people in your life, it can help you learn how to deal with them better, in a more loving way, and most importantly, to take better care of yourself,' she told Retreat Magazine. During her interview, Graham shared that she is 'ahead of her time' when it comes to embracing her sexuality. 'Nowadays, so many women are enjoying their sexuality, but when I was coming up, there was definitely judgment around that. It's great to watch younger women feel freer to be sexual and not to worry about cultural bias,' she said. 5 Along with her wellness secrets, Graham does not drink or do drugs. Heather Graham/Instagram Graham got her start in the entertainment industry when she left her parents' home at 18 and moved to West Hollywood, California, with a roommate. At the time, her father warned her that Hollywood would 'claim [her] soul.' 'He regularly told me that the entertainment industry was evil and that Hollywood would claim my soul,' Graham said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal in 2024. She noted that her parents 'were part of a generation that didn't believe in therapy or discussing personal things, so I never felt I could talk to them.' Advertisement Following the premiere of her movie 'License to Drive' in 1988, Graham knew it was time to move out of her parents' home. 'When the movie came out, I was 18, living at home had become more difficult,' she said. 'I said to myself, 'I've got to get out of here, I've got to be successful, and I've got to be a movie star.'' 5 During her interview, Graham shared that she is 'ahead of her time' when it comes to embracing her sexuality. Heather Graham/Instagram Graham graduated from high school with a 5.0 GPA and went on to study English at UCLA. After her junior year at the university, she decided to drop out to focus on her acting career. Advertisement At this time, Graham landed major roles in the films 'Austin Powers' and 'Swingers,' which made her realize she was 'self-sufficient,' and she began to reevaluate her relationship with her parents. 'I stopped talking to my parents when I was 25, and I'm estranged from them now,' Graham admitted. 'My friends are proud of me, and I'm proud of myself. I have really good friends.' The actress is proud of the life she has created for herself. 'I live in Los Angeles in a house I bought last year. I also have a loft in New York,' she said, noting that her West Coast home 'has views of the Pacific.'
