We could tumble like
a weed in the wind
Or we could scatter like the leaves in a storm
Or we could stand like an oak
And laugh at the joke
That the love we had is gone
We could buckle like
a bridge made of tin
And we could shatter like a house made of glass
Or we could stand like a rock
And whether the shock
And try to make it last
And give each other
love ev'ry day
A little goes a long, long way
And we could have it all
And we could have it all again
Or we could crumble
like a castle of sand
And fade and wither like a rose on a vine
Or we could stay with the dream
Though lost it may
seem
And try a second time
And give each other
love ev'ry day
A little goes a long, long way
And we could have it all
And we could have it all again
We could have it all again
You stumble and you
fall
You're out of your losses
You'll gather your forces
And you try again
And give each other love ev'ry day.

Claude François, surnommé «Cloclo», né le 1erfévrier1939à Ismaïlia(Égypte) et mort accidentellement le 11mars1978à Paris 16e, a
ÉtAIT un chanteur, danseur, musicienet producteur musicalfrançaisdes années 1960et 1970.
Lors
de ses quinze années de carrière, il est un des artistes français les plus
appréciés du public. Nombre de ses chansons sont restées célèbres,
comme Belles !
Belles! Belles!, Cette année-là, Le Lundi au soleil, Le téléphone pleure, Magnolias for Ever, Alexandrie Alexandraou encore Comme d'habitude(My Wayen version anglaise).
Le téléphone pleure est une chanson interprétée
par Claude Françoisen duo avec la petite Frédérique Barkoff,
fille de sa comptable Nicole Gruyer et de l'agent artistique Jean-Paul Barkoff,
publiée par les disques Flècheen octobre 1974.
Les paroles sont de Frank Thomaset la musique de Jean-Pierre Bourtayre.
Elle est inspirée d'une chanson américaine de George Joneset Tammy Wynette, The
Telephone Call, sortie début 1974sur l'album George and Tammy and Tina1. Toutefois, il y a une différence
entre les deux chansons, dans le scénario. La
version qu'interprète Claude François a été inspirée par Jean-Pierre Bourtayre,
qui venait de voir le film L'Épouvantail, où
l'on voit dans une scène Al Pacinoparler avec sa fille au
téléphone, alors qu'elle-même ignore que celui qui lui parle est son père. Dans
The Telephone Call, la fille sait que celui qui lui parle est son père.
Allô
Écoute maman est près de toi
Il faut lui dire "maman, c'est quelqu'un pour toi"
Ah, c'est le monsieur de la dernière fois
Bon, je vais la chercher
Je crois qu'elle est dans son bain
Et je sais pas si elle va pouvoir venir
Dis-lui, je t'en
prie, dis-lui c'est important
Et il attend
Dis, tu lui as fait quelque chose à ma maman
Elle me fait toujours des grands signes
Et elle me dire toujours tout bas "fais croire que je suis pas
là"
Raconte-moi comment
est ta maison?
Apprends-tu bien chaque soir toutes tes leçons?
Oh oui, mais comme maman travaille
C'est la voisine qui m'emmène à l'école
Et y a qu'une signature sur mon carnet
Les autres ont celles de leur papa, pas moi
Oh dis-lui que j'ai
mal
Si mal depuis six ans
Et c'est ton âge, mon enfant
Ah non, moi, j'ai cinq ans
Mais dis, tu la connaissais ma maman avant
Pourtant elle m'a jamais parlé de toi
Tu restes là, hein?
Le téléphone pleure
quand elle ne vient pas
Quand je lui crie je t'aime
Les mots se meurent dans l'écouteur
Oui, le téléphone pleure, ne raccroche pas
Je suis si près de toi avec la voix
Seras-tu aux
prochaines vacances à l'hôtel Beau
Rivage?
Aimes-tu la plage?
Oh oui, j'adore me baigner, maintenant je sais nager
Mais dis donc, comment tu connais l'hôtel Beau-Rivage
Tu y as été toi, à Sainte-Maxime?
Oh, dis-lui toute ma
peine
Combien toutes les deux, moi, je vous aime
Tu nous aimes, mais je t'ai jamais vu, moi
Et qu'est-ce que t'as, pourquoi t'as changé de voix
Mais tu pleures, pourquoi?
Le téléphone pleure
quand elle ne vient pas
Quand je lui crie je t'aime
Les mots se meurent dans l'écouteur
Le téléphone pleure, non ne raccroche pas
Je suis si près de toi avec la voix
Dis, écoute-moi
Oui le téléphone pleure pour la dernière fois
Car je serai demain au fond d'un train
Dis, mais retiens-la, mais elle s'en va
Allons insiste, elle est partie
Si elle est partie, alors tant pis
Au revoir, monsieur
Au revoir, petite.

LABEL: ATLANTIC RECORDS
GENRE: POP ROCK
YEAR: 1998
The Corrs are an Irish family band that
combine pop rockwith
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 albumsand
numerous singles, which
have reached Platinumin 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
Forgottenat 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 Trustevent in 2004 and Live 8alongside Bonoof U2in 2005. The
same year, they were awarded honorary MBEsfor their contributions to music and charity. The band was inactive
for almost ten 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 Evansin 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.
"What Can I Do" is a song by Irish
band the Corrs, from
their breakthrough album Talk on Corners(1997). The song was originally released
in January 1998, but its moderate charting success was limited, due to the time
of the shooting of the video. However, it was later re-released
in August that year in a remixed form by Tin Tin Out,
which generated more attention, particularly in the UK where it reached Nº 3,
and became one of the band's most known hits worldwide. The song received
generally favorable reviews from music critics,
some of whom felt it was not as strong as their previous songs. An accompanying
music video was released, which was shot in New Zealandduring their world tour.
Do do do do do do do
do do do do
Do do do do do do do
do do do do
I haven't slept at
all in days
It's been so long since we've talked
And I have been here many times
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong
What can I do to make
you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there
There's only so much
I can take
And I just got to let it go
And who knows I might feel better, yeah
If I don't try and I don't hope
What can I do to make
you love me
What can I do to make you care
What can I say to make you feel this
What can I do to get you there
No more waiting, no
more, aching
No more fighting, no more, trying
Maybe there's nothing
more to say
And in a funny way I'm calm
Because the power is not mine
I'm just going to let it fly
What can I do to make
you love me (what can I do to make you love me)
What can I do to make you care (what can I do to make you care)
What can I say to make you feel this (what can I do to make you love me)
What can I do to get you there (what can I do to make you care)
What can I do to make you love me (what can I do to make you love me)
What can I do to make you care (what can I do to make you care)
What can I change to make you feel this (what can I do to make you love
me)
What can I do to get you there (what can I do to make you care)
And love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me
Love me, love me.

GENRE: ROCK
YEAR: 1974
The Eagles are an American
rockband formed in
Los Angeles in 1971. With five number-one singles and six number-one albums,
six Grammy Awardsand five American
Music Awards, the Eagles were one of the most
successful musical acts of the 1970s in North America. Founding members Glenn Frey(guitars,
vocals), Don Henley(drums,
vocals), Bernie Leadon(guitars,
vocals) and Randy Meisner(bass
guitar, vocals) were recruited by Linda Ronstadtas band members, some touring with her, and all playing on her third solo
album, before venturing out on their own on David Geffen's new Asylum Recordslabel.
Their debut, Eagles(1972),
spawned two top-20 singles in the US and Canada: "Take It Easy"
and "Witchy Woman".
The next year's follow-up, Desperado,
only peaked at number 41 in the US, although "Desperado"
became a popular track. In 1974, guitarist Don Felderjoined, and On the Borderproduced the top 40 hit "Already Gone"
and the Eagles' first number-one song in the US and Canada, "Best of My
Love", which made the top 15 in Australia,
their first hit overseas. In 1975, the álbum One of These
Nightsbecame their first number-one album
in the US and a top-10 album in many countries. It included the US number-one hit
"One of These Nights",
which was their first top-10 hit outside of North America, and US top-five
songs "Lyin' Eyes" and "Take It to the Limit".
Also in 1975, guitarist and vocalist Joe Walshreplaced
Leadon.
Their
Greatest Hits (1971–1975)(1976) is the best-selling album in the United States,
with 38 million sold, and primed the public for the late 1976 release of Hotel
California, which would sell more than 26million
copies in the US (ranking 3rd all-time for US sales), and more than 32million
copies worldwide. The
album yielded two number-one singles in the US and Canada, "New Kid in
Town" and "Hotel
California", the latter of which became their only top-10 hit
in the United Kingdom, while also reaching the top 10 in New Zealand and many
European countries, including number two in France.
Meisner was replaced by Timothy B. Schmitin 1977. The Eagles released their last studio album for nearly 28
years in 1979 with The Long Run,
spawning the North American number-one song "Heartache Tonight",
which became their biggest hit in Australia (number 13), and the North American
top-10 hits "The Long Run"
and "I Can't Tell
You Why". The Eagles broke up in 1980 but
reunited in 1994 for the álbum Hell Freezes Over,
a mix of live and new studio tracks, and toured consistently. In 2007, the
Eagles released Long Road Out
of Eden, their sixth number-one album in the US, and
in 2008 launched the Long Road Out
of Eden Tour. In 2013, they began the
extended History of the Eagles Tourin conjunction with the documentary release, History of
the Eagles. Following Frey's death in
January 2016, the Eagles re-formed in 2017, with Glenn's son Deacon Frey and Vince Gillsharing
lead vocals for Frey's songs.
The Eagles are one of the world's
best-selling bands, having sold more than 200million
records, including 100million sold in US alone. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Famein 1998 and were ranked number 75 on
Rolling Stone's 2004
list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time".
On the Border is the third
studio album by American rockgroup the Eagles,
released in 1974. Apart from two songs produced by Glyn Johns, it was
produced by Bill Szymczykbecause the group wanted a more rock‑oriented sound instead of the
country-rock feel of the first two albums. It is the first Eagles album to
feature guitarist Don Felder. On the
Border reached number 17 on the Billboard album chart and has sold two million
copies.
Three singles were released from the album: "Already
Gone", "James Dean" and "Best of My Love". The singles peaked
at numbers 32, 77 and 1 respectively. "Best of My Love" became the
band's first of five chart toppers. The album also includes
"My Man", Bernie Leadon's
tribute to his deceased friend Gram Parsons.
Leadon and Parsons had played together in the pioneer country rock band Flying Burrito
Brothers, before Leadon joined the Eagles.
This is the first album by the Eagles to be released in
Quadraphonic surround sound. It was released on Quadraphonic 8-track tape and
CD-4 LP. A hidden message carved into the run out groove of some vinyl LPs
reads: "He who hesitates is lunch".
Every night i'm lyin'
in bed
Holdin' you close in my dreams
Thinkin' about all the things that we said
Comin' apart at the seams
We try to talk it over
But the words come out too rough
I know you were tryin' to give me the best of your love
Beautiful faces and
loud empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud
That we could never rise above
But here in my heart
I give you the best of my love
Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
(You get the best of my love)
Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin'
You get the best of my love
(You get the best of my love)
I'm goin' back in time
and it's a sweet dream
It was a quiet night and I would be all right
If I could go on sleeping
But every mornin' I wake up and worry
What's gonna happen today?
You see it your way I see it mine
But we both see it slippin' away
You know we always
had each other baby
(Ooh...) I guess that wasn't enough oh-oh ooh whoa
