R. City feat. Adam Levine - Locked Away(#ad)
R City’s song “Locked Away” featuring Adam Levine of Maroon 5 had a great significance. It was released in the year 2015 on 29th of June and was one of the most played songs at that time.
The tune topped at number six on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, making it the team's first top ten hit and Levine's first single that he didn't co-compose.
It was based on genuine occasions and true events written by brotherly Duo-R, City from the Virgin Island. Their father was bolted up for a long time. Amid the time he was gone, their mother held it down.
She usually took them to see him. Their Parents were still attached right up 'till that day. They were together for a long time, 36 years. So they choose that it was an incredible story to compose a melody about.
It was an awesome subject for a melody; however, their mother additionally may have set a great expectation of any forthcoming lady friends with Theron and sibling Timothy's lives.
They both thought of having a girl 'just like that' who keeps on loving them and staying in their lives in each and every situation, whether down or bad and loving them for who they are. Keeping this outlook for relations in their life they wrote this song.
The video, demonstrating distinctive families in various distressing circumstances, brings home the tune's general message.
The director nailed it in a superb manner as each and every part of different relations with real emotions had been shown.
The song pictured each and every emotion which they wanted to show very well. Though they faced some difficulties at that time but it all went good.
When Maroon 5's lead singer Adam Levine teamed up with a band that is hardly known outside the Hollywood R. City, for their single "Locked Away", no one expected the song to sell more than 1.2 million copies in the States, least..reach the 6th spot in the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
The critics were made to eat their own words when "Locked Away" was included as one of the Top 100 songs that rocked YouTube for the year 2015, thanks to Maroon 5 and Adam Levine's another song "Sugar" which spent 20 non-consecutive weeks in the Top 20 of the Hot 100 charts, only the 68th song in the recorded chart history to have achieved this incredible feat.
"Sugar" set-up the platform for "Locked Away", promoting the song on it's own."Locked Away" and "Sugar" were both hits for Adam Levine in 2015, but the theme of these songs varied drastically.
While "Sugar" was indeed a sugar coated upbeat pop number,the song lacked any soul or an intense appeal. "Locked Away" was quite the opposite, the track was meaningful in every aspect.
The song captured the 'essence of life' of a common man, the struggle he goes through his everyday life. With an aptly chosen melodic Reggae beat "Locked Away" was truly a masterpiece.
Later the track was remixed by the American rapper Lil Wayne, who added a few extra verses and called it "Locked Away Again (The Remix)".
The music video for "Locked Away" was 'in sync' with the theme of the song and revolves around four families.
A poor couple unable to make their ends meet,a man desperate to meet his child and wife,a Soldier returning to duty after leaving his family with a heavy heart and a father & daughter whose very sacred relationship is shattered into pieces because of a forbidden, unlawful act.
"Locked Away" reached the no.1 spot in more than 29 countries including U.S, Spain, Poland, Lebanon, Israel, France, Hungary, Denmark,Norway, Scotland, Netherlands, Israel, New Zealand, Finland, Ireland, Switzerland, Venezuela and South Africa.

Album - What Dreams Are Made Of
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
Right about now...
If a judge for life me, would you stay by my side?
Or is you gonna say goodbye?
Can you tell me right now?
If I couldn't buy you the fancy things in life
Shawty, would it be alright?
Come on show me that you are down
Now tell me would you really ride for me?
Baby tell me would you die for me?
Would you spend your whole life with me?
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me?
Baby don't lie to me
If I didn't have anything
I wanna know would you stick around?
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
Let's get it diddly-dong-dong-dong-dang
All I want is somebody real who don't need much
A girl I know that I can trust
To be here when money low
If I did not have nothing else to give but love
Would that even be enough?
Girl meh need fi know
Now tell me would you really ride for me?
Baby tell me would you die for me?
Would you spend your whole life with me?
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me?
Baby don't lie to me
If I didn't have anything
I wanna know would you stick around?
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
Tell me, tell me, would you want me?
Tell me, tell me, would you call me?
If you knew I wasn't balling
'Cause I need a girl who's always by my side
Tell me, tell me, do you need me?
Tell me, tell me, do you love me?
Or is you just tryna play me?
'Cause I need a girl to hold me down for life
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?
If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?
Would you still love me the same?
Would you still love me the same?
