Virando dias e noites
Rodando de bar em bar
Perdido no labirinto
Podia ser o destino ou não
Tinha que arriscar, eu sei
 
Virando a vida ao avesso
Tentando me encontrar
Quebrava meus próprios sonhos
Queria o meu destino na mão
Queria demais, talvez
 
A gente vive pra mudar
Quando quer
É só a vida dizer sim
 
Perdido em plena floresta
Morrendo de sede no mar
Mensagem numa garrafa
Talvez alcance a praia ou não
Talvez nunca mais, talvez
 
Ninguém prevê o futuro
Nem sabe se vai encontrar
Talvez uma luz no escuro
Talvez o escuro e nada mais
Ninguém saberá, eu sei
 
A gente vive pra mudar
Quando quer
É só a vida dizer sim
 
A gente vive pra mudar
Quando quer
É só a vida dizer sim
 
A gente vive pra mudar
É só a vida.

I’LL SEE YOU IN RIO

Rio de Janeiro
Gosto de você
Gosto de quem gosta desse céu
Desse mar
 
Quero do meu Rio de Janeiro de janeiro a cor
Nas montanhas verdes e no verde quero me deitar
Passeando nestes tons de azul
Entregando as noites de luar
Quero só te amar
Quero te ter
I'll see you in Rio de Janeiro
Gosto de você
Gosto de quem gosta desse céu
Desse mar
 
Quero do meu Rio de Janeiro de janeiro a cor
Nas montanhas verdes e no verde quero me deitar
Passeando nestes tons de azul
Entregando as noites de luar
Quero só te amar
Quero te ter Rio
 
Quero do meu Rio de Janeiro ser o teu calor
Nessas praias lindas e nas ondas quero viajar
E não ter momento de partir
Só poder ter tempo de chegar
Quero só te amar
Quero te ver
I'll see you in Rio
 
Tom é bom
O Sol que beija o corpo
Da morena alegre
Que caminha no compasso de um samba
O seu passo eu vou entrando
Coração que vai batendo
Na avenida carioca
Meu irmão
Rio aqui estou
E dessa vez é pra cantar
 
I'll see you in Rio
I'll see you in Rio
 
Tom é bom
O Sol que beija o corpo
Da morena alegre
Que caminha no compasso de um samba
O seu passo eu vou entrando
Coração que vai batendo
Na avenida carioca
Meu irmão
Rio aqui estou
E dessa vez é pra cantar
 
I'll see you in Rio
I'll see you in Rio
I'll see you in Rio
I'll see you in Rio.

SCORPIONS
SONGWRITERS: RUDOLF SCHENKER & KLAUS MEINE
COUNTRY: GERMANY
ALBUM: TAKEN BY FORCE
LABEL: EMI RECORDS
GENRE: ROCK
YEAR: 1977
 
           Scorpions are a German rock band formed in 1965 in Hanover by Rudolf Schenker. Since the band's inception, its musical style has ranged from hard rock, heavy metal, glam metal, and soft rock. The lineup from 1978 to 1992 was the most successful incarnation of the group, and included Klaus Meine(vocals), Rudolf Schenker(rhythm guitar), Matthias Jabs (lead guitar), Francis Buchholz(bass), and Herman Rarebell(drums). The band's only continuous member has been Schenker, although Meine has appeared on all of Scorpions' studio albums, while Jabs has been a consistent member since 1978, and bassist Paweł Mąciwoda and drummer Mikkey Dee have been in the band since 2003 and 2016 respectively.
        During the mid-1970s, with guitarist Uli Jon Roth(who replaced Schenker's younger brother Michael) part of the line-up, the music of the Scorpions was defined as hard rock. After Roth's departure in 1978, Schenker and Meine managed to take control of the group, giving them almost all the power to compose music and write lyrics. Matthias Jabs joined in 1978, and with the melodic rock he played and the influence of producer Dieter Dierks in the band, the Scorpions changed their sound to melodic heavy metal mixed with lyrical "power rock ballads", which is evident in the album Lovedrive(1979), which began the evolution of the band's sound, developed later in several of their albums. Over the next decade, the band achieved influence, approval from music critics, and significant commercial success with the albums Animal Magnetism(1980), Blackout(1982), Love at First Sting(1984), the live recording World Wide Live(1985), Savage Amusement(1988), their best-selling compilation Best of Rockers 'n' Ballads(1989), and Crazy World(1990), all awarded at least one platinum award in the United States. The band has released twelve consecutive studio albums that were in the top 10 in Germany, one of which reached Nº 1, as well as three consecutive albums that were in the top 10 in the Billboard 200 in the United States. Their latest studio album, Rock Believer, was released in February 2022.
       Taken by Force is the fifth studio album by German band Scorpions, released by RCA Records in 1977. This was the first Scorpions album to feature drummer Herman Rarebell and the final studio album to feature guitarist Uli Jon Roth. Roth left the band in 1978 following the end of the album's tour, and was at first replaced by Michael Schenker and later by Matthias Jabs.
How does it feel babe
To taste sweet revenge?
Do you want me on my knees?
How does it feel babe
To let me feel your strength?
Don't be cruel, can't you see?
 
If you don't catch me now
I can't stop falling down
Just one more night and the devil got my soul
I need your love babe, don't tell me "No way"
Babe, I miss you so much more than words can say
 
How does it feel babe
To kill our destiny?
I swear I'm not gonna crawl, oh no
How does it feel babe
To make a fool out of me?
How can you be so cold?
Be so cold
 
If you don't catch me now
I can't stop falling down
Just one more night and the devil got my soul
I need your love babe, don't treat me this way
Ooh I miss you, I miss you
 
Baby our love's got what it takes
To give us one more chance to start
Once again
Baby our love will find a way
As long as we believe in love
 
If you don't catch me now
I can't stop falling down
Just one more night and the devil got my soul
I need your love babe, don't leave me this way
Ooh I miss you, I miss you
 
Baby our love's got what it takes
To give us one more chance to start
Once again
Baby our love will find a way
As long as we believe in love
As long as we believe (we believe)
 
Baby our love's got what it takes
To give us one more chance to start
Once again
Baby our love will find a way
As long as we believe in love
 
Baby our love's got what it takes
To give us one more chance to start
Once again
Baby our love will find a way
As long as we believe in love
 
Baby our love's got what it takes
To give us one more chance to start.

COUNTRY: IRELAND

LABEL: 143 RECORDS
GENRE: POP ROCK
YEAR: 2000
 
           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 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 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.
          In Blue is the third studio album by Irish pop rock band The Corrs, released in 2000 which saw the band become known in the United States. The title of the album comes from a lyric in the song "Give Me a Reason". As well as the UK number one single "Breathless", the album also contains new versions of "Radio" and "At Your Side", which had appeared on their previous álbum The Corrs Unplugged. Mutt Lange co-wrote and produced three songs from the album.
       Several of the tracks were used in various television programmes and films: "Rebel Heart" as the theme for the TV minisséries of the same name; "One Night" in Mad About Mambo; "At Your Side" in Say It Isn't So and the trailer for the film The Holiday; and "All the Love in the World" in the film America's Sweethearts. As of 2017, the album has sold 9 million copies worldwide.

I'm not looking for someone to talk to
I've got my friends, I'm more than okay
I've got more than a girl could wish for
I live my dreams, but it's not all they say
 
Still I believe (I'm missing)
I'm missing something real
I need someone who really sees me
 
Don't want to wake up alone anymore
Still believing you'll walk through my door
All I need is to know it's for sure
Then I'll give all the love in the world
 
I've often wondered, if love's an illusion
Just to get you through the loneliest days
I can't criticize it, I had no hesitations
My imagination just stole me away
 
still I believe
(I'm missing) I'm missing something real
I need someone who really sees me
 
Don't want to wake up alone anymore
Still believing you'll walk through my door
All I need is to know it's for sure
Then I'll give all the love in the world
 
Love's for a lifetime
Not for a moment
So how could I throw it away (yeah)
I'm only human
And nights grow colder
With no one to love me that way (yeah)
I need someone who really sees me
 
and I won't wake up alone anymore
Still believing you'll walk through my door
You'll reach for me and I'll know it's for sure
Then I'll give all the love in the world
 
Don't wanna wake up alone anymore
Don't wanna wake up alone
Don't wanna wake up alone
Don't wanna wake up alone.
