Kenneth Bruce Gorelick (born June 5, 1956), better known by his stage name Kenny G, is an American adult contemporary and smooth jazz saxophonist. His fourth album, Duotones, brought him breakthrough success in 1986. Kenny G is the biggest-selling instrumental musician of the modern era, with global sales totaling more than 75 million albums.
Kenny G was born in Seattle, Washington to a Jewish family and grew up in the city's Seward Park neighborhood, which is a center of the city's Jewish community. He came into contact with a saxophone when he heard someone performing with one on The Ed Sullivan Show. He started playing the saxophone in 1966 when he was 10 years old. He learned how to play under the direction of local trumpeter Gerald Pfister and by practicing along with records (mostly of Grover Washington, Jr.), trying to emulate the sounds that he was hearing. His first saxophone was a Buffet Crampon alto.
Kenny G attended Whitworth Elementary School, Sharples Junior High School, Franklin High School, and the University of Washington, all in his home town of Seattle. When he entered high school, he failed on his first try to get into the jazz band, but tried again the following year and earned first chair. In addition to his studies while in high school, he took private lessons on the saxophone and clarinet from Johnny Jessen, once a week for a year.
Céline Marie Claudette Dion, CC OQ, (French pronunciation: [selin djɔ̃] ( listen); born March 30, 1968), is a Canadian singer. Born to a large family from Charlemagne, Quebec, Dion emerged as a teen star in the French-speaking world after her manager and future husband René Angélil mortgaged his home to finance her first record. In 1990, she released the English-language album Unison, establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English-speaking areas of the world.
Dion had first gained international recognition in the 1980s by winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest. Following a series of French albums in the early 1980s, she signed on to CBS Records Canada in 1986. During the 1990s, with the help of Angélil, she achieved worldwide fame after signing with Epic Records and releasing several English albums along with additional French albums, becoming one of the most successful artists in pop music history. However, in 1999 at the height of her success, Dion announced a hiatus from entertainment in order to start a family and spend time with her husband, who had been diagnosed with cancer. She returned to the top of pop music in 2002 and signed a three-year (later extended to almost five years) contract to perform nightly in a five-star theatrical show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Paradise, Nevada.
In the love downfalls
I seize my graves with myself like black ghost.
Queen Night is hugging me,
She wants to cure my wounds, to allay my pain.
From the crown of the everlasting oak
Floats the alleviation for the mundane self
Which is calling The Flower,
Whispering It's Name
With it's chapped lips.
Had Baudelaire known
The flower of desires,
This kind of flower?
The flower of life...
Cruel Nymph! Be...
The flower of desires,
The flower of life...
My heart is overflowing with pain
My soul is playing cards with hatred
Love
Buried in rubble
Trembles
In the long agony
The fire burns, although is covered up with sand
And salt
Eating up the wounds
In the love downfalls
I seize my graves with myself like black ghost.
Queen Night is hugging me,
"raindrops taste like tears, without the pain"
tell me that your stars have not died
tell me that your eyes do not lie
join me, in my dance
St. Vitus dance
on this cliff
oh see me, see me dawn
in my excess
yet fearfull, threatened me
and if, you wish
under your stars
under your stars I confess
someone to raise
to raise my soul
all alone
as I'm sitting in the rain
my eyes, full of tears
so is the rain
do drops bring the pain
in the black, hear my call
see me fall
do you think the same
and I know, that there is
something like a heart
that's torn apart
let me see, let me see you
all the pain
Well this flower is my soul
But it's not half of what I owe
I should give you every rose that I ever grew
But take this one here for a start
And you can keep it in your heart
I have everything I need because of you
Well if my life was long enough
to pack up everything I love
I would do just that and give it all to you
But it's impossible to pay
All the things that you gave away
Si this flower I give will have to do
All the flowers growing wild
For ten thousand lonely miles
It's not near enough to give you what I should
So I will owe you for a while
Maybe longer than my life
The petals fall and the seeds are sewn
Like the mother's womb that conceived us all
A tiny flower that blooms without a care
This child is born to this heartless place
Time has passed and the flower's strong
Its moonlight bloom shining on an on
I start to wonder - how long can this go on ?
The flower's time coming to its dawn
Now your time has come and the seeds are sewn
To our mother's womb that conceived us all
And I wonder - I'd really like to know
Why the flower's time come into this dawn
Does anybody know
Where do we do ?
Does anybody know
Where do we do ?
And I wonder - I'd really like to know
