           The Corrs are an Irish family band that combine pop rock with traditional Irish themes within their music. The group consists of the Corr siblings, Andrea (lead vocals, tin whistle, ukulele), Sharon (violin, keyboards, vocals), Caroline (drums, percussion, piano, bodhrán, vocals) and Jim (guitar, piano, keyboards, vocals). They are from Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland.

              The Corrs have released seven studio albums and numerous singles, which have reached Platinum in many countries, and have sold 40 million albums worldwide. Talk on Corners, their most successful album to date, reached multi-Platinum status in Australia, and in the UK it was the highest selling album of 1998. The band is one of only a handful of acts who have held the top two positions simultaneously in the UK album charts, with Talk on Corners at number one and Forgiven, Not Forgotten at number two. The latter was the third highest selling album in Australia in 1996. Their third studio album, In Blue, went to number one in seventeen countries.

        The Corrs have been actively involved in philanthropic activities. They have performed in numerous charity concerts, such as The Prince's Trust event in 2004 and Live 8 alongside Bono of U2 in 2005. The same year, they were awarded honorary MBEs for their contributions to music and charity. The band was inactive for almost 10 years because Jim and Caroline were raising families, while Andrea and Sharon were pursuing solo careers while raising families of their own. According to Sharon, it was uncertain if and when The Corrs would reunite. Rumours of a reunion sparked in early 2015 and in a radio interview with Chris Evans in June 2015, Andrea confirmed that The Corrs were working on a new album and would play the BBC Radio 2 Live in Hyde Park festival. Their sixth studio album, White Light, was released on 27 November 2015, and was accompanied by a European tour. After two years, their seventh studio album, Jupiter Calling, was released on 10 November 2017.

             "Love to Love You" is a song by Celtic folk rock band The Corrs, the fourth single from their debut album Forgiven, Not Forgotten. It was released in 1996, peaking at number 62 on the UK Singles Chart and reaching the top 50 in Australia and New Zealand.

I would love to love you like you do to me

I'd love to love you like you do to me

There's a pillar in my way you see

I'd love to love you like you do to me

 

I met you on a sunny Autumn day

You instantly attracted me when asking for the way

God if I had known the pain I'd make you feel

I would have stopped this start of us, and turned upon my heel

 

Though you should leave me

Time make it be alright

Though you must leave me

Time will help you see the light

You don't need me

Time make it be alright

Though you must leave me

Believe me when I tell you…

 

(Chorus)

You recognised my barrier to love

I know there's nothing worse than unrequited love (unrequitedlove)

So I prayed to God that I could give the love you gave to me

But something's lying in my way, preventing it to be

 

Though you should leave me

Time make it be alright

Though you must leave me

Believe me when I tell you

 

(Chorus)

 

(Chorus)

 

Break those pillars down

Break those pillars down

Take those pillars down, down, down

Oh, take those pillars down

 

(Love to love you like you do to me)

Break those pillars down

(Love to love you like you do to me)

Oh take those pillars down

(Love to love you)

(Love to love you)

(Love to love you)

Take those pillars down

(Love to love you).
