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 the
year. 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 year's third highest selling album in Australia. 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.
"Summer
Sunshine" is a song by Irish band the Corrs,
the opening track from their fourth studio album, Borrowed
Heaven (2004). The song was released as the album's first single on
26 April 2004, reaching number 12 in the band's native Ireland and number six
on the UK Singles Chart. It continued the band's
string of top-50 hits in Australia, peaking at number 13 and becoming their
last charting hit there. In Hungary, "Summer Sunshine" reached number
one for two weeks. Elsewhere, the song reached number two in Spain and peaked
within the top 20 in Italy and the Netherlands. The music video was directed
by Kevin Godley.
Everyone's changing I
stay the same, I'm?
A solo cello outside
a chorus
I've got a secret
It's time for me to
tell that you've been keeping me warm
Just sweet beginnings
and bitter endings
In coffee city we
borrowed heaven
Don't give it back,
I've never felt so wanted
Are you taking me
home?
You tell me you have
to go?
In the heat of summer
sunshine
I miss you like
nobody else
In the heat of summer
sunshine
I kiss you and nobody
needs to know
Now that you've left
me, there's no returning
I keep comparing,
you're always winning
I try to be strong
but you'll never be more wanted
Will you make me at
home?
Don't tell me you
have to go!
In the heat of summer
sunshine
I miss you like
nobody else
In the heat of summer
sunshine
I kiss you and nobody
needs to know
To sweet beginnings
and bitter endings
In coffee city we
borrowed heaven
Don't give it back
Winter is coming and
I need to stay warm
The heat...
In the heat of summer
sunshine
I miss you like
nobody else
In the heat of summer
sunshine
I kiss you and nobody
knows
In the heat of summer
sunshine
I miss you like
nobody else
In the heat of summer
sunshine
I kiss you and nobody
needs to know
Summer sunshine,
sunshine...
