Je voudrais du soleil vert, des dentelles et des théières

Des photos de bord de mer dans mon jardin d'hiver

Je voudrais de la lumière comme en Nouvelle-Angleterre

Je veux changer d'atmosphère dans mon jardin d'hiver

 

Ma robe à fleurs sous la pluie de novembre

Tes mains qui courent, je n'en peux plus de t'attendre

Les années passent, qu'il est loin l'âge tendre

Nul ne peut nous entendre.

 

Je voudrais du Fred Astaire, revoir un Latécoère

Je voudrais toujours te plaire dans mon jardin d'hiver

Je veux déjeuner par terre comme au long des golfes clairs

T'embrasser les yeux ouverts dans mon jardin d'hiver

 

Ma robe à fleurs sous la pluie de novembre

Tes mains qui courent, je n'en peux plus de t'attendre

Les années passent, qu'il est loin l'âge tendre

Nul ne peut nous entendre.

WHY WORRY

DIRE STRAITS

SONGWRITER: MARK KNOPFLER

COUNTRY: U. K.

ALBUM: BROTHERS IN ARMS

LABEL: VERTIGO RECORDS

GENRE: POP ROCK

YEAR:1985

 

         Dire Straits were a British rock band formed in London in 1977 by Mark Knopfler (lead vocals and lead guitar), David Knopfler (rhythm guitar and backing vocals), John Illsley(bass guitar and backing vocals), and Pick Withers (drums and percussion). They were active from 1977 to 1988 and again from 1991 to 1995.

        Their first single, "Sultans of Swing", from their 1978 self-titled debut album, reached the top ten in the UK and US charts. It was followed by hit singles including "Romeo and Juliet"(1981), "Private Investigations"(1982), "Twisting by the Pool" (1983), "Money for Nothing" (1985), and "Walk of Life"(1985). Their most commercially successful album, Brothers in Arms(1985), has sold more than 30 million copies; it was the first album to sell a million copies on compact disc, and is the eighth-bestselling album in UK history. According to the Guinness Book of British Hit Albums, Dire Straits have spent over 1,100 weeks on the UK albums chart, the fifth most of all time.

      Dire Straits' sound draws from various influences including country, folk, the blues rock of J. J. Cale, and jazz. Their stripped-down sound contrasted with punk rock and demonstrated a roots rock influence that emerged from pub rock. There were several changes in personnel, with Mark Knopfler and Illsley being the only members who lasted from the beginning of the band's existence, to the end. After their first breakup in 1988, Knopfler told Rolling Stone: "A lot of press reports were saying we were the biggest band in the world. There's not an accent then on the music, there's an accent on popularity. I needed a rest." They disbanded for good in 1995, after which Knopfler launched a solo career full-time. He has since declined reunion offers.

         Called "the biggest British rock band of the 80s" by Classic Rock magazine, their 1985–1986 world tour, which included a performance at Live Aid in July 1985, set a record in Australasia. Their final world tour from 1991 to 1992 sold 7.1 million tickets. Dire Straits won four Grammy Awards, three Brit Awards(Best British Group twice), two MTV Video Music Awards, and various other awards. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018. Dire Straits have sold an estimated 100 million units worldwide, including 51.4 million certified units, making them one of best-selling music artists.

        Brothers in Arms is the fifth studio album by British rock band Dire Straits, released on 13 May 1985 through Vertigo Records internationally and through Warner Bros. Records in the US. It spent a total of 14 non-consecutive weeks at number one on the UK Albums Chart (including ten consecutive weeks between 18 January and 22 March 1986), nine weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 in the US and 34 weeks at number one on the Australian Albums Chart. Brothers in Arms was the first album certified ten-times platinum in the UK and is the eighth-best-selling album in UK chart history. It is certified nine-times platinum in the US and is one of the world's best-selling albums, having sold more than 30 million copies worldwide.

          The album won a Grammy Award in 1986 for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical and Best British Album at the 1987 Brit Awards; the 20th Anniversary Edition won another Grammy in 2006 for Best Surround Sound Album. Q magazine placed the album at number 51 in its list of the 100 Greatest British Albums Ever. It was also among ten albums nominated for the best British album of the previous 30 years by the Brit Awards in 2010, ultimately losing to (What's the Story) Morning Glory? By Oasis.

Baby I see this world has made you sad

Some people can be bad

The things they do, the things they say

But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears

I'll chase away those restless fears

That turn your blue skies into grey

 

Why worry, there should be laughter after pain

There should be sunshine after rain

These things have always been the same

So why worry now

 

Baby when I get down I turn to you

And you make sense of what I do

I know it isn't hard to say

But baby just when this world seems mean and cold

Our love comes shining red and gold

And all the rest is by the way

 

Why worry, there should be laughter after pain

There should be sunshine after rain

These things have always been the same

So why worry now.

[Intro: Girl & Narrator]

Zero?

Yeah, zero is a wonderful thing. In fact, Zero is my hero!

How can zero be a hero?

Well, there are all kinds of heroes, you know. A man can get to be a hero for a famous battle he fought or by studying very hard and becoming a weightless astronaut

Wow

And then there are heroes of other sorts, like the heroes we know from watching sports

Oh

But a hero doesn't have to be a grown up person, you know a hero can be a very big dog who comes to your rescue or a very little boy who’s smart enough to know what to do. But let me tell you about my favorite hero

 

[Verse 1]

My hero, Zero, such a funny little hero

But 'til you came along, we counted on our fingers and toes

 

Now, you're here to stay, and nobody really knows

How wonderful you are, why we could never reach a star

Without you, Zero, my hero, how wonderful you are

 

[Bridge 1: Girl & Narrator]

What’s so wonderful about a zero? It's nothing, isn't it?

Sure, it represents nothing alone

 

[Chorus 1]

But place a zero after one, and you've got yourself a ten

See how important that is?

When you run out of digits, you can start all over again

See how convenient that is?

That's why with only ten digits including zero

You can count as high as you could ever go

Forever, towards infinity

No one ever gets there, but you could try

 

[Verse 2]

Ten billion zeros, from the cavemen to the weirdos

Who invented you, they counted on their fingers and toes

Or maybe some sticks and stones (rocks and bones)

Their neighbors' toes?

 

Yeah yeah, and nobody really knows

How wonderful you are, why we could never reach the star

Without you, Zero, my hero, Zero, how wonderful you are

 

[Chorus 2]

Place one zero after any number

And you've multiplied that number by ten

See how easy that is?

Place two zeros after any number

And you've multiplied that number by one hundred

See how simple that is?

Place three zeros after any number

And you’ve multiplied that number by one thousand

 

[Outro]

Et cetera, et cetera, ad infinitum

Ad astra, forever and ever

With Zero, my hero, how wonderful you are.

THE BLACK KEYS

SONGWRITERS: THE BLACK KEYS

COUNTRY: U. S. A.

ALBUM: BROTHERS

LABEL: NONESUCH

GENRE: BLUES ROCK

YEAR: 2010

 

       The Black Keys are an American rock band formed in Akron, Ohio, in 2001. The group consists of Dan Auerbach(guitar, vocals) and Patrick Carney(drums). The duo began as na independent act, recording music in basements and self-producing their records, before they eventually emerged as one of the most popular garage rock artists during a second wave of the genre's revival in the 2000s. The band's raw blues rock sound draws heavily from Auerbach's blues influences, including Junior Kimbrough, R.L. Burnside, Howlin' Wolf, and Robert Johnson.

        Friends since childhood, Auerbach and Carney founded the group after dropping out of college. After signing with indie label Alive, they released their debut album, The Big Come Up(2002), which earned them a new deal with Fat Possum Records. Over the next decade, the Black Keys built an underground fanbase through extensive touring of small clubs, frequent album releases and music festival appearances, and broad licensing of their songs. Their third album, Rubber Factory(2004), received critical acclaim and boosted the band's profile, eventually leading to a record deal with major label Nonesuch Records in 2006. After self-producing and recording their first four records in makeshift studios, the duo completed Attack & Release(2008) in a professional studio and hired producer Danger Mouse, who subsequently became a frequent collaborator with the band.

         The group's commercial breakthrough came in 2010 with Brothers, which along with its popular single "Tighten Up", won three Grammy Awards. Their 2011 follow-up El Camino received strong reviews and peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 chart, leading to the first arena concert tour of the band's career, the El Camino Tour. The album and its hit single "Lonely Boy" won three Grammy Awards. In 2014, they released their eighth album, Turn Blue, their first number-one record in the US, Canada, and Australia. After completing the Turn Blue Tour in 2015, the duo took a hiatus for several years to work on side projects and produce other artists. They returned in 2019 with their ninth album, Let's Rock; their tenth studio album Delta Kream was released in 2021 and consists of hill country blues covers.

       Brothers (printed as This is an album by The Black Keys. The name of this album is Brothers. on the front cover) is the sixth studio album by American rock duo The Black Keys. Co-produced by the group, Mark Neill, and Danger Mouse, it was released on May 18, 2010 on Nonesuch Records. Brothers was the band's commercial breakthrough, as it sold over 73,000 copies in the United States in its first week and peaked at number three on the Billboard 200, their best performance on the chart to that point.

         The album's lead single, "Tighten Up", the only track from the album produced by Danger Mouse, became their most successful single to that point, spending 10 weeks at number one on the Alternative Songs chart and becoming the group's first single on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 87 and was later certified gold. The second single, "Howlin' for You", went gold as well. In April 2012, the album was certified platinum in the US by the RIAA for shipping over one million copies. It also went double-platinum in Canada and gold in the UK. In 2011, it won three Grammy Awards, including honors for Best Alternative Music Album. 

Can't explain

Nor can I contain

Control

You have on my soul

It's all I do

Is, baby, dream of you

I'm falling down

When you're around

 

You're the only one

You're the only one

I'm so wrapped up in a daze

Hoping this is just a phase

But when all is said and done

I know you are still the one

You're the only one

You're the only one

Cupid's bow it stung

Now you're the only one

 

Mystery

Is what this is to me

I'm given up

I'm having no luck

Like a ghost

The one that I love most

Disappears when I get near

 

You're the only one

You're the only one

I'm so wrapped up in a daze

Hoping this is just a phase

But when all is said and done

I know you are still the one

You're the only one

You're the only one

Cupid's bow it stung

 

Now you're the only one

Uh, uh, only one.
