The Musée du Louvre (French pronunciation: [myze dy luvʁ])—in English, the Louvre Museum or simply the Louvre—is one of the world's largest museums, the most visited art museum in the world and a historic monument. A central landmark of Paris, France, it is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the 1st arrondissement (district). Nearly 35,000 objects from prehistory to the 19th century are exhibited over an area of 60,600 square metres (652,300 square feet).
The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace (Palais du Louvre) which began as a fortress built in the late 12th century under Philip II. Remnants of the fortress are visible in the basement of the museum. The building was extended many times to form the present Louvre Palace. In 1682, Louis XIV chose the Palace of Versailles for his household, leaving the Louvre primarily as a place to display the royal collection, including, from 1692, a collection of antique sculpture. In 1692, the building was occupied by the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres and the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, which in 1699 held the first of a series of salons. The Académie remained at the Louvre for 100 years. During the French Revolution, the National Assembly decreed that the Louvre should be used as a museum, to display the nation's masterpieces.
Marc Minkowski (born 4 October 1962) is a French conductor of classical music, especially known for his interpretations of French Baroque works. His mother, Mary Anne (Wade), is American, and his father was Alexandre Minkowski, a Polish-French professor of pediatrics and one of the founders of neonatology. Marc Minkowski is a Chevalier du Mérite.
Marc Minkowski was born in Paris. His maternal grandmother, Edith Wade, was a violinist. He began his musical career as a bassoonist for René Clemencic's Clemencic Consort and Philippe Pierlot's Ricercar Consort.
In 1982 Minkowski formed "Les Musiciens du Louvre", an orchestra dedicated to showcasing French Baroque music which has championed works by Marin Marais (opera Alcione), Jean-Joseph Mouret (opera Les amours de Ragonde), Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Jean-Baptiste Lully (opera Phaëton at Opéra National de Lyon) and Jean-Philippe Rameau (opera Hippolyte et Aricie). The ensemble has also revived lesser-known Handel operas, such as Teseo, Amadigi, Riccardo Primo and Ariodante, as well as several operas by Christoph Willibald Gluck including Armide (at the Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles), Alceste and Iphigénie en Tauride (at the English Bach Festival at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden).
Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (/ˈstɛfəniː dʒʌrməˈnɑːtə/ STE-fə-nee jurr-mə-NAH-tə; born March 28, 1986), known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American singer and songwriter. Born and raised in New York City, she primarily studied at the Convent of the Sacred Heart and briefly attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before withdrawing to focus on her musical career. She began performing in the rock music scene of Manhattan's Lower East Side, and was signed with Streamline Records by the end of 2007. During her employment as a songwriter for the record company, her vocal abilities captured the attention of recording artist Akon, who signed her to his label Kon Live Distribution.
Lady Gaga came to prominence as a recording artist following the release of her debut album The Fame (2008), which was a critical and commercial success that topped charts around the world and included the international number-one singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face". After embarking on the The Fame Ball Tour, she followed the album with The Fame Monster (2009), which spawned the worldwide hit singles "Bad Romance", "Telephone" and "Alejandro". The album's success allowed her to embark on the eighteen-month long Monster Ball Tour, which later became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. Her most recent album Born This Way (2011) topped the charts of most major markets and generated more international chart-topping singles, including "Born This Way", "Judas" and "The Edge of Glory". Besides her musical career, she involves herself with humanitarian causes and LGBT activism.

Is this real?
Everything seems so made up to me What have we become?
For now.
Stop pretending we're not ending everything that we
once were
Better things to do
Better things to see
As I run away I cant look back or I'll fall over
I've changed my mind a dozen times before
What is one more?
It's hard to feel where it should be
Is this close enough?
Why can't we just pretend for now?
Stop believing we're not leaving everything that we
both love
Better things for you
Better things than me
As I drive away I'm looking back into the mirror
I've changed my mind a hundred times before
What is one more?
Will you take the wheel?
I can't hold on
I can't control myself
I'm running off the road again
Is this real?
Am I dreaming?
Stop pretending
I'm not pretending anymore.
As I drive away I'm looking back into the mirror
I've changed my mind a thousand times before
What is one more?
Will you take the wheel?
I can't hold on
I can't control myself
I'm running off the road again Somebody save me from
What if you could change yourself into anything?
Would you still look the way that you do?
There's no consequence when you're confident
Are you thinking clearly?
There are so many things that could go wrong
Well at least you're trying
Are you ready?
Here we go
Better think it over.
Everything will be o.k.
Keep your fingers crossed
Everything will be just fine if you give it time.
There are so many things that went wrong
But at least you're smiling
Are you ready?
Here we go
Better think it over.
Thinking
Can't stop thinking
Can't stop wondering
What is coming?
Better write this down before you forget There goes
everything.
Why?
What if you change the past?
Would you take it back, or just give up like you did?
Are you confident?
Overconfident

Want somebody else's man, when I get fly niggas from band
Got me stuttering cuz I don't want your man
I don't need no insecurities
I don't need this shit in my life
I don't want your man
Break it down
Nigga got me in the mood
Let's hope our knees got bruised
That's how we do (yeah!)
Hair pulled to my backside
About 2 1/2 hour ride, that's just when I'm beginning
Girl, I'm just kidding
Girl, stop playing on my phone
Girl, Girl, leave me alone
Won't you understand, nothing has changed
Friends still remain
GIRLFRIEND
I GOTTA TELL YOU GOTTA TELL YOU
WHAT I'M FEELIN' INSIDE
I CAN SEE THROUGH ALL THE MAKE UP

WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES YOU DEAL
WITH THE THINGS YOU DEALIN' WITH
IS IT THE CAR, THE DIAMOND RINGS
THE THOUGHT OF SEEING ANOTHER GIRL

THEN WHY DIDN'T YOUR MAN

cause you are everything
girlfriend
{chorus]
you gotta do you girl
no one else could ever ever love you
the way that you love you
from a friend to a friend
It's going on five years that we've been together
It's time to let me know, if it's going further
You know you promised me that you will always be, in my life
And when I bring it up, you just shut me out
Let me know
Why should I
Settle down
Raise your kids and you not marry me
Is that the way it has to be
Why should I
Wait around, while you decide if you're going to be with me
I'm looking for commitment, if not just let me be
We been dating on the regular for awhile now, a year far too long
Had the code to my cellular, get the Bentley, got whatever you want
Don't ask for much, I put in why can't you put out like me babe
Understand just commit to me, I'm dying inside this won't go on
I love you to death but, but boo, what's next for us
Vacations alone, no talks on the phone, don't call my phone
If this can't be, it is for us
Just let me be, leave me alone
It's over now
I had high hopes that we'd be together
I gave you everything including a child
You said that one day we'd be a family, but its never gonna be
So why should I
You know I love you
You promised

IT'S YOUR LOVE THAT KEEPS IT THUMPIN'
IT MAKES ME WANNA DO
SOMETHIN' SOMETHIN' SOMETHIN'
YOU GOT THE ILL FLY SH**
NIGGA YA SHIT SO CRIS
HOW COULD I LET ANOTHER
HELL NO YOU MUST BE SICK
(V-1)
I was born to a raging tide
Always fighting 'gainst the lines
Free, myself, no troubled mind
There's nothing that keeps me confined
(Chorus)
So look up on me and let it go
Like doves lost at sea
We're looking for
A place to call our home
(V-2)
If you wonder why
The stars fall from the sky
They're searching just like you and I
For a steady place
Not just hung in space
So don't tell me you can't relate
(Chorus)
So look up on me and let it go
Like doves lost at sea
We're looking for
Outshined
(V-1)
I don't need my eyes to see
Just how much you've done for me
It's written upon everything
That this is what was meant to be
And I have never been one to carry on like some silly love song
But now with every word you make me want to sing along
Oh what have you done what have you done
(1st Chorus)
'Cause I run to you
And I don't think to break my fall
Don't think I even thought at all
And that's so extraordinarily unusual
It's like the sun was outshined by the moon
(V-2)
It's just like me to complicate
The simple things like love and faith
But then you came and swept aside
The confusion behind which I hide
And now I'm exposed oh
What have you done what have you done
(Bridge)
'Cause I run to you
And I don't think to break my fall
Don't think I even thought at all
And that's so extraordinary
You broke all the chains I carry
You exhume the love I burry
Making sure that when my day is through
(3rd Chorus)
I run to you
And I don't think to break my fall
Don't think I even thought at all
And that's so extraordinarily unusual
You're much too great I make a space so that I can relate
I keep you in It's easier when you're not so big
But now looking up I am free
You're finally released of what I want you to be
I throw up my hands I never understand
So just be and I'll just be... Amazed
This wall I've built was made slowly out of years of guilt
But now I see because your Love drives fear away from me
But now looking up I am free
You're so much greater than I allowed you to be
I throw up my hands I finally understand
I'm a cynic though I hate to admit it you forgive it and forget it it's done
But it blinds me and it binds me it confines me you remind me that it might be done
'Cause all these cold shoulders and all these hollow stares are enough to break the soul who cares
All these walls between us that we build for protection are blocking out the sun and dividing everyone
And I say
Hey now tear 'em down, down to the ground I said
Hey now tear 'em down
For the good of everyone
I for one don't like what we've become
So fathers tell you sons there's much work to be done
Let's stand as one you daughters and you moms
Decide that we are done with this wicked indifference
Hey now tear 'em down, down to the ground I said
Hey now tear 'em down
For the good of everyone
It's so simple to look away
It's another world and they don't think the same
But we should know better pain is pain
I'm on the verge and Monday was so low
And I can see your reasoning
I nearly drowned in all that I don't know
It's not me this uncertainty has brought me low
It's not me and I can't be low anymore
I'm on the verge of Tuesday
Collect my hopes and I'll float away
Cause it represents a new day
And I'll go but what I've learned I will take
And though I take more than I give
(V-1)
There's a fire on the outskirts and it's staring to spread
It's all that I can do to keep my head
But it's never easy when there's smoke in your eyes
God bless the good man I feel I'm lost sometimes
(1st Chorus)
The mast is broken on a confidence set sail
When there's friends helping friends fail
(V-2)
So go easy on me 'cause I swear I'm not myself
I'd love to say I'm in control but at times it's hard to tell
I'm not a wicked man I'm not given to lust
I'm just your average sinner who hurts the ones he loves
(2nd Chorus)
The mast is broken on a confidence set sail
When there's friends helping friends fail
(Bridge)
The waives came up and broke the bow
We cut the rigging and cried who can save us now
A fight broke out among the mates
For who would rise up and take the captains place
And the wind she screamed and she tore the sails
(V-1)
Don't hold so tight
The fear in your heart
You've been quiet
For so long now
Only fools
Follow the crowed
You've been waiting on a voice
Scared to make a choice
Hiding within your own doubt
(1st Chorus)
Sing sing sing
You've been given the melody
There's fools in the back waiting to attack
They'll criticize everything so sing
(V-2)
You're the spark that dies for the flame
You'll burn out but the blaze remains
So light up and be slow to fade
Go on and raise your joyful voice turn silence into noise
Now is your time to shine out
(2nd chorus)
Sing sing sing
You've been given the melody
There's fools in the back waiting to attack
They'll criticize everything so sing
(Bridge)
I have realized
That time is not on our side
And we're chasing the days through the years
Hoping there's someone who hears
Us sing
(3rd chorus)
Sing sing sing
You've been given the melody
There's fools in the back waiting to attack
moi sun nimi on Homeboy fubu mctwist
sul on niin helvetin pieni ja sun on pakko olla kovis
muuten pojat ne kiusaa ja tytöt ei tykkää
ne sut joka välitunnil roskalaatikoihin lykkää
sul on merkkivaatteita uusia hiphop-levyjä
maailmalle yrität nyt todistaa olevasi mies
niin vitusti kaipaat sä äidin lämpöä
mutta kenelle sen nyt uskaltaisin kertoa
sä oot neljätoist vee oot niin vitun pupu jee
lempijuoma on kalja lempiauto bmw
kuulemma kahdeksan naista nyt jo vittua haista
sä et tähän hätään yhdenkään nimeä muista
oot uhri mainosten häpeäksi ihmiskunnalle
vaikka ootkin valkoinen sun henki haisee tummalle
oot euroneekeri sinä vitun feikki hoppari
avaa jo silmäsi et ole mikään gangsteri
saat kotoa rahaa viisisataa viikossa
ja saman tien tuhlaat ne colosseumissa
jos jotain jää käteen ne käytät olueen
ja leijut etkä rahojesi eteen mitään tee
olet pilalle hemmoteltu pikkukakara
luulet olevasi kova ilman käytöstapoja
kuuden oluen jälkeen sä katuja nuolet
vielä yhdenkin juot siihen paikkaan sä kuolet
sä tytöille kaikenlaista rivoo ehdotat
mutta tosipaikan tullen lakanoille laukeat
oot puheittesi mukaan saanut aika monelta
mutta oikeesti oot nähnyt ne vain tietokoneelta
väität et oot ollu monta kertaa pilvessä
vaikket koskaan ole nähnyt edes hampun lehteä
kaljan alle vedät kaksi aspiriiniä
tiedäksä etteivät ne mitään vaikuta
oot uhri mainosten häpeäksi ihmiskunnalle
vaikka ootkin valkoinen sun henki haisee tummalle
oot euroneekeri sinä vitun feikki hoppari
avaa jo silmäsi et ole mikään gangsteri
on sulla isot kultaketjut nimilaatat kaulassa
kun hengaat kavereittes kanssa koulun ala-aulassa
luulet olevasi kingi näiden kulmakuntien
mutta kukaan ei sua pelkää minä ainakaan en
luulet todellakin eläväsi jossain ghetossa
vaikket koskaan ole käynyt edes yöllä metrossa
luulet olevasi koko vitun maailman omistaja

I ran into some of our mutual friends last night
To hear them tell it I treated you every which way but right
So I just called to tell you I think we should agree
On the way that you're portrayin'
The history of you and me
Make it sad but don't make 'em cry
Make it a bad thing we ever said goodbye
Make it you're movin' on with every day that goes by
Make it the truth but don't make it lame
Make it our plans for the future weren't the same
Make it all done between you and I
But don't make it lies
Before I go I should let you know that I set 'em straight
I couldn't have your lies bein' spread around all over the place
I'm gonna let you know one thing before I say goodbye
This is what I say when someone asks about you and I
I make it sad but I don't make 'em cry
I make it a bad thing we ever said goodbye
I make it I'm movin' on with every day that goes by
I make it the truth but I don't make it lame
I make it our plans for the future weren't the same
I make it all done between you and I
But I don't make it lies
So, make it sad but don't make 'em cry
Make it a bad thing we ever said goodbye
Make it you're movin' on with every day that goes by
And make it the truth but don't make it lame
Make it our plans for the future weren't the same
Make it all done between you and I
But don't make it lies
Just make it all done between you and I
But don't make it lies
Don't make it lies
