Lindsey Stirling (born on September 21, 1986) is an American violinist, musician, dancer, performance artist, and composer. In 2010 she competed on the fifth season of America's Got Talent. Stirling is noted for her versatility performing music from country to hip hop.
At the age of 23 Stirling was a quarter-finalist on the fifth season of America's Got Talent where she was known as the ‘Hip Hop Violinist’. After Stirling's performance, Sharon Osbourne said, "Wow... we love you Lindsey!” and Piers Morgan called her performance "Electrifying!".
At the age of 5, after being influenced by the classic music records played by her father, Stirling requested the opportunity to learn and play the violin.
Stirling was classically trained through private lessons for 12 years. When she was 16, she joined a rock band with four friends called Stomp on Melvin. As part of her experience with Stomp on Melvin, Stirling wrote a solo violin rock song, and her performance helped her to win both the title of Arizona’s Jr. Miss in 2005 and the talent category of the National Jr. Miss Pageant. As of May 2, 2012, Stirling is 5'3" tall.
Michael Alan Fraser (born 8 October 1983 in Drumnadrochit, Scotland) is a Scottish professional goalkeeper currently playing for Ross County.
Fraser signed for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in 2002. He was previously a talented shinty player with Glenurquhart Shinty Club but gave up the sport to pursue his professional ambitions. His first team breakthrough came when Mark Brown signed for Celtic in January 2007. Fraser made a memorable save in a 3–2 home win over Celtic the following season and was first-choice at Inverness until he conceded five goals against Rangers on 1 November 2008, after which he was dropped in favour of Ryan Esson.
Fraser signed a pre-contract with Motherwell on 19 January 2009, and joined the club in the summer. He made his Motherwell debut in the UEFA Europa League qualifying defeat against Llanelli and rarely featured for Motherwell due to the arrival of John Ruddy on loan from Everton. New signing Darren Randolph took his place as first-choice goalkeeper during Motherwell's pre-season and UEFA Europa League matches, again confining Fraser to the bench.
Kathy Kirby (born Kathleen O'Rourke; 20 October 1938 – 19 May 2011) was an English singer who was reportedly the highest-paid female singer of her generation. She is best known for her cover version of Doris Day's "Secret Love" and for representing the United Kingdom in the 1965 Eurovision Song Contest, where she came in second place. Her physical appearance often drew comparisons with Marilyn Monroe. She peaked in popularity in the 1960s.
Kirby was born in Ilford, Essex. She was the eldest of three children of Irish parents. Her mother Eileen brought them up alone after their father left early in their childhood. Kirby grew up in Tomswood Hill, Barkingside, near Ilford and attended the Ursuline Convent School in Ilford where she sang in the choir.
Kirby's voice became apparent early in life, and she took singing lessons with a view to becoming an opera singer. She became a professional singer after meeting bandleader Bert Ambrose at the Ilford Palais in 1956. She remained with Ambrose's band for three years and he remained her manager, mentor and lover until his death on stage in Leeds in 1971.
David Howell Evans (born 8 August 1961), more widely known by his stage name The Edge (or just Edge), is a musician best known as the guitarist, backing vocalist, and keyboardist of the Irish rock band U2. A member of the group since its inception, he has recorded 12 studio albums with the band and has released one solo record. As a guitarist, The Edge has crafted a minimalistic and textural style of playing. His use of a rhythmic delay effect yields a distinctive ambient, chiming sound that has become a signature of U2's music.
The Edge was born in England to a Welsh family, but was raised in Ireland after moving there as an infant. In 1976, at Mount Temple Comprehensive School, he formed U2 with his fellow students and his older brother Dik. Inspired by the ethos of punk rock and its basic arrangements, the group began to write its own material. They eventually became one of the most popular acts in popular music, with successful albums such as 1987's The Joshua Tree and 1991's Achtung Baby. Over the years, The Edge has experimented with various guitar effects and introduced influences from several genres of music into his own style, including American roots music, industrial music, and alternative rock. With U2, The Edge has also played keyboards, co-produced their 1993 record Zooropa, and occasionally contributed lyrics. The Edge met his second and current wife, Morleigh Steinberg, through her collaborations with the band.
we all pray this comes to an end we hope
your racist images will fall into oblivion and silence
we face your followers are blind
and spoil our generation
we can't find the numbers to break your concern
this is all we have to resist their plans
and save our children from it
this is all we have
the revolution a gift we all have been given
just let the heroes fall and rest in silence
we face your followers are blind
and spoil our generation
so sad attribute to lack of knowledge
the sound of refusal increases their anger
this is a call to reconcile the
belligerent great power nations
it’s not that I care more than others as we fail
but mistakes remain and I won’t show
comprehension for selfishness
your poison has been spread on us to curb
our resentment to save your concern
far from reason your velvet bombs
so trivial to justify my response to the world
I’m sick of distress but I won’t be satisfied
by making the same mistakes a million times
chains start burning scars in our so well-designed bodies
chains start burning scars in our conversations madness-
dictation
society to the bones society in velvet bombs
see how they prosper while people protest for
their rights
it’s everyone’s business to step out for watching
there is a war in my heart but I never felt insincere inside
in my memory in my memory I've always been the good boy
as we try to mention these wars and it's so simple
they'd surrender they'd crumble they'd bury themselves
stand up speak out for us
stand up speak out take back what they robbed
This is my last breath
What do we stand for in 2004
rebuild it rebuild it
are the lies we take or the steps we trace
of summerdays and long gone away
I'm still searching for their names
the more we care the less we forget
unleashed nightmares hold captive instead
I set free from this machine
again the ashes falling down on us
again it’s washed away by
the bloody massacres we cause
don’t feel safe behind their lies
can’t understand why
why cant you find another way
falling blind
misinform the masses
become a part of the weakwilled wave
they fight and fall
they starve and crawl
they pray and hope
we crown the crule
ignore their lies just say
goodbye we struggle
over and over again
to burn in their eyes
resist repression
we’re consuming blind
without any sympathy
reality seems to be far away
ignore their lies just say
goodbye we struggle
over and over again
break the silence break the lies
repulse corruption
we’re consuming blind
without any sympathy
reality seems
to be far away
they fight and fall
they pray and hope
we crown the crule
let your blaze rise
don't rifle my forest years of redemption
bury the matrix of nature's anatomy
haze chaos foreign circumstances
safe a native of a world like this
so just pick up the ashes from the ground
a million insincerities unless we'll be found
we're dying in earth-holes afraid of the end
we'll never loose patience until lullabies end
lights out lights out when will it end
suffer! a sudden contempt to suffer
reject employment
as a raving constrained mercenary
are we really superior to the ones we despise
we're not
we're not more than a fuck
to the ass of the world
they stand alone we're not supreme individuals
to split the core
adding insult
to injury let’s get the masters off their thrones
the latest plague
does not appear
straight trough the main entrance to kick back our asses
in life the wasteful retrieve the highest attention
by wasting the raw materials of earth
how can we live for the fortune without remorse
start to care don’t give up this world
don’t rely on your own will
power for all
on a pure way
so just lean back and get your meat served on a plate
we pass the world…
…and wasting the raw materials of earth
how can we live for the fortune without remorse
start to care don’t give up this world
wake up and break down this walls of
profits bribes and syndication
for one more day lies overtake
trusted betrayed for one more day
I feel the oppression we suffered for too long
on this mass we get served
time spent so restless
by thinking of threat
I just can’t find no threat in me
no conspiracy I can’t see
I defy I defy
you better stop chasing ghosts
don’t let the publication start tomorrow
for our children it’s up to everyone
to resist the masses and join today
we consume with a blindfold on our eyes
the propaganda infront of our television screens
I just can’t see can’t find no threat wasting my
fuck the boundries fuck the borders fuck the political
warfare
fuck the traps, fuck the bricks we get stupid on every word
yeah we get stupid on every word they say
is all that I am and all I have worked for to amuse the
corrupt delightful
is all that I am and all I have worked for to amuse this
breed
fuck the boundries fuck the borders fuck the political
warfare
fuck the traps, fuck the bricks we get stupid on every word
it´s annoying to see millions of bugs are investigated to
create these stupid killing robots regardless of everything
and when the silence speaks switch over to automatic
and when the curtain falls consider yourself as target
and when the silence speaks switch over to automatic
and when the curtain falls nail them on a cross
this breed plagued us
this breed controls on their own
this breed plagued us
I can remember there was nothing but hatred
The loyalties that have been broken and failures
Appearing on the wall now we´re better off in coffins
Why must we stay honest at raid
Raid raid sacrifice us all
Raid raid save your last resort
The bombs falling to the ground
They´ll never understand
When will they open their eyes
Fall into the ground
They´ll never understand
When will they open their minds
Their minds their hearts spoiled by recruitment
they say recall cauterize my lungs and reign inside my head
these rumours decline by weighing your lies
the parade is waving goodbye
we must protest more! then we ever could without reminiscence
to realize the day has come to a fuckin' end right now
a melody a fairytale it's all inside my head
we must protest more then we ever could
to realize the day has come to an end
relief and forgiveness should rise for a moment
say can we strike the enemy
relief and fame will shine forever in a pinch of grace
is it over now is it over now
these spoiled gentle eyes say
It's over now it's over now
lifting the veil see if it's worth to break your own eyes on this tragedy
don't feed on demand and ruin what's left
the blood has already dried in our hands
when passion has failed appears the price to pay on your skin
now lift the veil explore the fuckin' truth
it's rat-race faked to stab us from ambush
the temperature is gone and I remember well
we stood by the source watching our idols fall
and saw you rise and saw you rise
Break my spine with spirit embrace uncertainty
so completely ruthless this place ain't no treasure for them
trapped inside like parasites
watch us fall watch us fall
a slight good bye at one side of the bridge
no temporary stay! Bullshit
crumble as if there were no tomorrow
preparing the farewell
they are slaves to their graves
at the edge of the battlefield
bury all the sights
make all the monsters come down tonight
bury all the sights
make all the monsters come home tonight
I am fine
won't scream out loud
the pillbox transmiting new orders
and the ones claim to follow
waiting for miracles
these constant wars
tipple my will
Yeah i found a way out of this katastrop(hob)ik cell
We got in touch we got in touch paid the price for glory
My hero my hero won´t you come and save tomorrow
My hero
These writings on the wall foretelling you the fall
Stop polishing your rifle stop punishing your kids
Tread them like you wanna be treaded
So here is an anthem for everyone
One by one sing what´s unsung
Yeah this is an anthem for everyone
This is an anthem sing what´s unsung
This is an anthem to defend our beliefs
This is an anthem
No fear no fear as you struggle through your maze
You put your faith in friends but friends regardingprivileges
My hero my hero won´t you come and save tomorrow
My hero
Pay! i spill my heart but you deny it once again
Compassion fails despite of strain
We Are The Valid
this is yours
now the spotlight turns
on the course into my grave
it’s a nail it’s a cross it’s a curtain
I can’t forget every fuckin’ step
within these four walls a fallacy itself to remind
of every single breath I took for you
it’s got me wrapping up in shame
the devotion of silence embellish every day
wake me up
the reflection of distrust always on time
to proclaim I’ll die
the solid state of brick you call heart
won’t crush me anymore it was always you
the better me a lifeless party and I’m still the king of
gutters
supposed to rot in here that´s more than shame
brand-new me I’m not missing any second
nice wish it’s growing sorrow every second
bury this place it´s the source of the worst
nightmare you spill these spitefull dreams
