          Backstreet Boys (often abbreviated as BSB) is an American vocal group formed in Orlando, Florida in 1993. The group consists of Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, AJ McLean, and cousins Brian Littrell and Kevin Richardson.

    The group rose to fame with their debut international album, Backstreet Boys(1996). In the following year, they released their second international álbum Backstreet's Back(1997) along with their self-titled U.S. debut album, Backstreet Boys(1997), which continued the group's success worldwide. They rose to superstardom with their third studio álbum Millennium(1999) and its follow-up album, Black & Blue(2000). They also released a greatest hits album, The Hits - Chapter One(2001), with their only single, "Drowning". After a two-year hiatus, they regrouped and released a comeback álbum Never Gone(2005). After the conclusion of the Never Gone Tour in 2006, Richardson left the group to pursue other interests. The group then released two albums as a quartet: Unbreakable(2007) and This Is Us(2009).

          In 2012, the group announced that Richardson had rejoined them permanently. In the following year, 2013, they celebrated their 20th anniversary and released their first independent album, In a World Like This(2013). Their álbum DNA(2019) debuted at number one, more than two decades after the group formed, and 19 years after they last topped in 2000. They also became the first boy band to top the U.S. album charts in three decades.

            The Backstreet Boys have sold over 100 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling boy band of all time, and one of the world's best-selling music artists. They are the first group since Led Zeppelin to have their first ten albums reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200, and the only boy band to do so. The albums Backstreet Boys and Millennium were both certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), making them one of the few bands to have multiple diamond albums. The group received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on April 22, 2013. The group also announced their residency show, Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life in Las Vegas from March 2017 to April 2019. The group also released their first documentary movie, titled Backstreet Boys: Show 'Em What You're Made Of in January 2015.

        "Anywhere for You" is a song by American boy band Backstreet Boys. It was released as the fifth single from their international self-titled debut album in 1997. It was later included on their debut US album as well. This is one of the earlier recordings on their 1996 debut album. The song was written by Wayne Perry and Gary Baker in 1994 and recorded at the end of that year by the group. A Spanish version of the song, titled "Donde Quieras Yo Iré", was recorded in late 1995 in Zürich along with a Spanish version of "I'll Never Break Your Heart".

I'd go anywhere for you

Anywhere you asked me to

I'd do anything for you

Anything you want me to

 

I'd walk halfway around the world

For just one kiss from you

Far beyond the call of love

The sun, the stars, the moon

As long as your love's there to lead me

I won't lose my way believe me

Even through the darkest night you know

 

I'd go anywhere for you

Anywhere you asked me to

I'd do anything for you

Anything you want me to

Your love as far as I can see

Is all I'm ever gonna need

There's one thing for sure

I know it's true

Baby, I'd go anywhere for you

 

I used to think that dreams were just

For sentimental fools

And I'd never find someone

Who'd give their love so true

But I knew the very minute

Couldn't live my life without you in it

And now I want the whole world

To know

 

I'd go anywhere for you

Anywhere you asked me to

I'd do anything for you

Anything you want me to

Your love as far as I can see

Is all I'm ever gonna need

There's one thing for sure

I know it's true

Baby, I'd go anywhere for you

Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby, oh

Hey baby, hey baby, hey baby, oh

 

I'd go anywhere for you

Anywhere you asked me to

I'd do anything for you

Anything you want me to

Your love as far as I can see

Is all I'm ever gonna need

There's one thing for sure

I know it's true

Baby, I'd go anywhere for you

 

Anywhere you asked me to

I'd do anything for you

Anything you want me to

Your love as far as I can see

Is all I'm ever gonna need

There's one thing for sure

I know it's true

Baby, I'd go anywhere for you.

ALL OF LOVE

      Michael Bolotin (born February 26, 1953), known professionally as Michael Bolton, is an American singer and songwriter. Bolton originally performed in the hard rock and heavy metal genres from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, both on his early solo albums and those he recorded as the frontman of the band Blackjack. He became better known for his series of pop rock ballads, recorded after a stylistic change in the late 1980s.

        Bolton's achievements include selling more than 75 million records, recording eight top 10 albums and two number-one singles on the Billboard charts, as well as winning six American Music Awards and two Grammy Awards.

        Only a Woman Like You  is an album by Michael Bolton, released in 2002 (see 2002 in music).

        The album constituted a comeback for Bolton peaking at #36. Nevertheless, the album's success could by no way be compared to the success of his previous efforts. The album failed to gain any certification, selling about 400,000 copies in the US and less than 1 million globally.

The night becomes the dawn

To prove that love goes on

It's witten in the stars and in my heart of hearts

With you is where I still belong

 

Through every page we turn

Each lesson that we've learned

Will finally set us free or bring us to our knees

But love is right and never wrong

 

We know we can say we gave it all

We gave it all for love

Each step of the way we gave our soul

We gave it all for love, all for love

 

In silent prayers I pray

What words could never say

To reach into your heart no matter where you are

I promise we will find a way

 

To walk the road we've known

The road that leads us home

A million dreams I've dreamed in every one i've seen

The face of you and you alone

 

We know we can say we gave it all

We gave it all for love

Each step of the way, we gave our soul

We gave it all for love, we gave it all for love

 

A lifetime goes by so fast

For the secrets that remain

Soon the future becomes the past

When I hold you again, I'm gonna hold you forever

 

In silent prayers I pray

What words could never say

To reach you through the dark

To reach deep into your heart

And promise we will find a way

 

We know we can say we gave it all

We gave it all for love

Each step of the way, we gave our soul

We gave it all for love, we gave it all for love.

Les mois d'août au matin

J'ai la gorge serrée

Pas envie de me lever

Mes volets condamnés

Je t'ai prié tout l'été

 

Tu n'es jamais revenu

Un jour tu m'as quitté

Et tu as disparu

Quand vient décembre au soir

Je m'attache à penser

Qu'à la nouvelle année

Tu voudrais me revoir

Je t'ai prié tout l'hiver

Tu n'es jamais rentré

J'ai du croire le contraire

Oui, je me suis trompée

 

Les saisons se traînent à ma place

Me laissant seule en face à face

Face à je ne sais quoi

A nos amours que le temps chasse

Tout se dissout mais rien n'efface

Le souvenir de toi

Le souvenir de toi

 

L'automne à la fenêtre

N'a de sens sans toi

Mes lundis se répètent

A te chanter tout bas

Je garde les peut-être

Qui me retiennent à toi

Si précieuses sont les miettes

Qu'il me reste de ça

 

Les saisons se traînent à ma place

Me laissant seule en face à face

Face à je ne sais quoi

A nos amours que le temps chasse

Tout se dissout mais rien n'efface

Le souvenir de toi

Le souvenir de toi

Le souvenir de toi

 

Valsent les amours mortes

Qui fleurissent les blés

J'attends devant ma porte

Je te laisse t'en aller.

LONELY DAYS

BEE GEES

SONGWRITERS: MAURICE ERNEST GIBB; ROBIN HUGH GIBB & BARRY ALAN GIBB

COUNTRY: U. K.

ALBUM: 2 YEARS ON

LABEL: POLYDOR RECORDS

GENRE: BALLAD

YEAR: 1970

 

          The Bee Gees were a music group formed in 1958, featuring brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were especially successful as a popular music act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and later as prominent performers of the disco music era in the mid- to late 1970s. The group sang recognisable three-part tight harmonies; Robin's clear vibrato lead vocals were a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the mid- to late 1970s and 1980s. The Bee Gees wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists. The Bee Gees have occasionally been referred to as The Disco Kings.

         Born on the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived in Chorlton, Manchester, England until the late 1950s. There, in 1955, they formed the skiffle/rock and roll group the Rattlesnakes. The family then moved to Redcliffe, in the Moreton Bay Region, Queensland, Australia, and then to Cribb Island. After achieving their first chart success in Australia as the Bee Gees with "Spicks and Specks" (their 12th single), they returned to the UK in January 1967, when producer Robert Stigwood began promoting them to a worldwide audience. The Bee Gees' Saturday Night Fever soundtrack (1977) was the turning point of their career, with both the film and soundtrack having a cultural impact throughout the world, enhancing the disco scene's mainstream appeal. They won five Grammy Awards for Saturday Night Fever, including Album of the Year.

       The Bee Gees have sold over 120 million records worldwide (with estimates as high as over 220 million), making them among the best-selling music artists of all time. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997; the presenter of the award to "Britain's First Family of Harmony" was Brian Wilson, historical leader of the Beach Boys, another "family act" featuring three harmonising brothers. The Bee Gees' Hall of Fame citation says, "Only Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Michael Jackson, Garth Brooks and Paul McCartney have outsold the Bee Gees." With nine #1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 The Bee Gees are the third-most successful band in Billboard charts history behind only The Beatles and The Supremes.

       Following Maurice's sudden death in January 2003 at the age of 53, Barry and Robin retired the group's name after 45 years of activity. In 2009, Robin announced that he and Barry had agreed that the Bee Gees would re-form and perform again. Robin died in May 2012, aged 62, after a prolonged period of failing health, leaving Barry as the only surviving member of the group.

          "Lonely Days" is a ballad written and performed by the Bee Gees. It appeared on their álbum 2 Years On, and was released as a single, becoming their first Top Five hit in the US, peaking at number three in the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching number one in the Cashbox and Record World charts. Barry Gibb later re-recorded the song with country quartet Little Big Town for his 2021 album Greenfields.

Good morning mister sunshine, you brighten up my day

Come sit beside me in your way

I see you every morning, outside the restaurants

The music plays so nonchalant

 

Lonely days, lonely nights.

Where would I be without my woman?

Lonely days, lonely nights.

Where would I be without my woman?

 

Lonely days, lonely nights.

Where would I be without my woman?

Lonely days, lonely nights.

Where would I be without my woman?

 

Lonely days, lonely nights

Where would I be without my woman?

 

Good morning mister sunshine, you brighten up my day

Come sit beside me in your way

 

Lonely days, lonely nights

Where would I be without my woman?

Lonely days, lonely nights

Where would I be without my woman?

 

Lonely days, lonely nights

Where would I be without my woman?

Lonely days, lonely nights

Where would I be without my woman?
