     Christopher John Davison(born 15 October 1948), known professionally as Chris de Burgh(English:/dˈbɜːr/;d'-BER), is a British-Irish singer-songwriter and instrumentalist. He started out as an art rock performer but subsequently started writing more pop-oriented material. He has had several top 40 hits in the UK and two in the US, but he is more popular in other countries, particularly Norway and Brazil. His 1986 love song "The Lady in Red" reached number one in several countries. De Burgh has sold over 45 million albums worldwide.
      De Burgh was born in Venado Tuerto, Argentina, to Colonel Charles John Davison, a British diplomat, and Maeve Emily (née de Burgh), His maternal grandfather was Sir Eric de Burgh, a British Army officer who had been Chief of the General Staff in India during the Second World War. He took his mother's maiden name, "de Burgh", as a stage name when he began performing, while his legal surname remains "Davison". His father had substantial farming interests, and Chris spent much of his early years in Malta, Nigeria and Belgian Congo, as he, his mother and brother accompanied Colonel Davison on his diplomatic and engineering work.
     The Davisons finally settled in Bargy Castle, County Wexford, Ireland, which was somewhat dilapidated at the time. It was a twelfth-century castle which Eric de Burgh bought in the 1960s. He converted it into a hotel, and young Chris sang for the guests there.
   De Burgh attended Marlborough College in Wiltshire, England, where he was in the year below Nick Drake; de Burgh asked to join a jazz band Drake had formed with four schoolmates, the Perfumed Gardeners, but was rejected as his taste was "too poppy". De Burgh went on to graduate from Trinity College Dublin, with a Master of Arts degree in French, English and History.
       This is the first time I've ever put a track that is completely instrumental on a record. It's very evocative, and very 18th Century, which leads then into the title track..."

I was just a young man when I found love
In seventh heaven way too many times always breaking up
But the thought of you brings a glimmer to my face
Yeah, and I miss our love and your kiss, your warm embrace
 
And I knew that I'd find our goodbye
Wrong sometime and I was afraid to hear you say
 
Baby, please stop breaking my heart again
It now belongs to another man
Our love is so far away
I couldn’t leave, and you couldn’t stay
 
Will you make me your friend and understand why I pretend
That I love him the way I loved you?
 
You say you’ve spent so many sleepless nights waiting for me to call
That you didn’t want to dim the flame, hoping for my recall
But I wandered through moments of unreality
Looking for someone to love me because I’m strong while being weak
 
And I’m done and my find is a naked state of mind
I want you back again, but this is what you say
 
Baby, please stop breaking my heart again
It now belongs to another man
Our love is so far away
I couldn’t leave, and you couldn’t stay
 
Will you make me your friend and understand why I pretend
That I love him the way I loved you?
 
What would I give to change my lonely days into a night with you
Not a single day without you on my mind, nothing I wouldn’t do
Well, I’m drowning in a grown desire ‘cause I’m coming true
Yeah, and I love you, I still love you
 
Well, I always made the same mistakes, seems like I still do
I gave myself up to create a fake, so I gave up on you
Please stop breaking my heart again
Stop breaking my heart again
It now belongs to another man
Our love is so far away
I couldn’t leave, and you couldn’t stay
 
Will you make me your friend and understand why I pretend
That I love him the way I loved you?

       Chitãozinho & Xororó é uma dupla brasileira de música sertaneja formada pelos irmãos José Lima Sobrinho e Durval de Lima. Chitãozinho & Xororó são recordistas em vendas de discos no Brasil: eles venderam mais de 37 milhões de álbuns e ganharam cinco prêmios Grammy Latino. Eles foram creditados, por abrir espaço para a música sertaneja nas rádios e televisão a partir da década de 1980 e influenciaram diversos artistas do gênero.
       O nome artístico da dupla baseia-se na canção homônima "Chitãozinho e Xororó", originalmente lançada em 1939 pelos compositores Serrinha e Athos Campos. Na música, o cantor diz que vive só e só se alegra quando cantam o inhambuxitã (Crypturellus parvirostris) e o xororó (Crypturellus tataupa). Começaram a carreira bastante jovens, sendo que o primeiro disco oficial foi em 1970, que incluía a canção "Galopeira". Durante os anos 1970, gravaram também os discos "A mais Jovem Dupla Sertaneja" em 1972, "Caminhos de minha Infância" em 1974, "Doce Amada" em 1975 e "A Força Jovem da Música Sertaneja" em 1977. Em 1979, gravaram o disco "60 dias apaixonado", obtendo relativo sucesso. Em 1981, gravaram o disco "Amante Amada", conseguindo atingir a marca de 400 mil cópias vendidas. Mas o reconhecimento do grande público veio em 1982 com a canção "Fio de Cabelo" do disco "Somos apaixonados", que vendeu mais de 1,5 milhão de cópias e abriu as portas das rádios FM's para a música sertaneja. Em 1986, começaram a apresentar aos domingos o programa de TV "Chitãozinho e Xororó Especial" no SBT, no qual cantavam e recebiam convidados.
      No mesmo ano, participaram na TV Globo do especial de Roberto Carlos, cantando junto com o Rei a canção "De Coração Pra Coração".
Lá no alto da montanha
Numa casa bem estranha toda feita de sapé
Parei uma noite o cavalo
Por causa de dois estalos que ouvi lá dentro bater
 
Apeei com muito jeito
Ouvi um gemido perfeito, uma voz cheia de dor
Você, Tereza, descansa
Jurei de fazer vingança por causa do meu amor
 
Pela fresta da janela
Por uma luzinha amarela de um lampião quase apagando
Vi uma cabocla no chão
E um cabra tinha na mão uma arma alumiando
 
Virei o meu cavalo a galope
Risquei de espora e chicote, sangrei a anca do tal
Desci a montanha abaixo
E galopando aquele macho e seu doutor fui chamar
 
Voltemo' lá pra montanha
Naquela casinha estranha eu e mais seu doutor
Topei um cabra assustado
Que chamando nós pro lado a sua história contou
 
Há tempo eu fiz um ranchinho
Pra minha cabocla morar
Pois era ali nosso ninho
Bem longe desse lugar
 
No alto lá da montanha
Perto da luz do luar
Vivi um ano feliz
Sem nunca isso esperar
 
E muito tempo passou
Pensando em ser tão feliz
Mas a Tereza, doutor
Felicidade não quis
 
Pus meu sonho neste olhar
Paguei caro o meu amor
Por causa de outro caboclo
Meu rancho ela abandonou
 
Senti meu sangue ferver
Jurei a Tereza matar
O meu alazão arriei
E ela eu fui procurar
 
Agora já me vinguei
É esse o fim de um amor
Esta cabocla eu matei
É a minha história, doutor. 

I CAN'T MAKE YOU LOVE ME

  George Michael(born Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou; 25 June 1963 – 25 December 2016) was an English singer, songwriter, and record producer. He is considered one of the most significant cultural icons of the MTV generation and is one of the best-selling musicians of all time, with sales of over 120 million records worldwide. Michael is known as a leading creative force in music production, songwriting, vocal performance, and visual presentation. He achieved seven number-one songs on the UK Singles Chart and eight number-one songs on the US Billboard Hot 100. Michael won various music awards, including two Grammy Awards, three Brit Awards, three American Music Awards, twelve Billboard Music Awards, and four MTV Video Music Awards.

        Born in East Finchley, North London, Michael rose to fame as a member of the music duo Wham! and later embarked on a solo career. Forming the duo Wham! With Andrew Ridgeley in 1981, the band's first two albums, Fantastic(1983) and Make It Big(1984), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart and the US Billboard 200. Their hit singles included "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" and "Last Christmas". Establishing themselves as a global act, Wham! toured China in April 1985; the tour was the first visit to China by a Western popular music act, and it generated worldwide media coverage.
       Michael's first solo single, "Careless Whisper", reached number one in over 20 countries, including the UK and US. Before embarking on the production of his first solo album, Michael went on to release two more number-one singles, "A Different Corner" and the Aretha Franklin duet "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)".

His personal life, drug use, and legal troubles made headlines during the late 1990s and 2000s, as he was arrested for public lewdness in 1998 and was arrested for multiple drug-related offences after that time. Michael came out as gay in 1998. The 2005 documentary A Different Story covered his career and personal life. Michael's 25 Live tour spanned three tours from 2006 to 2008. Michael fell into a coma in 2011 during a bout with pneumonia, but later recovered. He performed his final concert at London's Earls Court in 2012. On 25 December 2016, Michael was found dead of heart disease at his home in Goring-on-Thames, Oxfordshire.
Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices
Inside my head
 
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close
Don't patronize
Don't patronize me
 
'Cause I can't make you love me
If you don't
You can't make your heart feel
Something that it won't
 
Here in the dark
These final hours
I will lay down my heart
And I feel the power
 
But you won't
No, you won't
And I can't make you love me
If you don't
 
I'll close my eyes
Then I won't see
The love you do not feel
When you're holdin' me
 
Mornin' will come
And I'll do what's right
Just give me 'til then
To give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
 
And I can't make you love me
If you don't
You can't make your heart feel
Something that it won't
 
And here in the dark
In these final hours
I will lay down my heart
I feel the power
 
But you won't
No, you won't
And I can't make you love me
If you don't
 
Ain't no use in you tryin'
It's no good for me baby
Without love
 
All my tears, all these years, everything
I believed in
Baby
Oh, yeah
 
Someone's gonna love me.
