An A-line skirt is a skirt that is fitted at the hips and gradually widens towards the hem, giving the impression of the shape of a capital letter A. The term is also used to describe dresses and coats with a similar shape.
The term was first used by the French couture designer Christian Dior as the label for his collection of spring 1955. The A-Line collection's feature item, then the "most wanted silhouette in Paris", was a "fingertip-length flared jacket worn over a dress with a very full, pleated skirt".
Although an A-shape, this silhouette was not identical to what is now understood to embody the A-line idea. That idea was given its definitive expression and popularized by Dior’s successor, Yves Saint Laurent, with his "Trapeze Line" of spring 1958, which featured dresses flaring out dramatically from a fitted shoulder line.
A-line clothes remained popular in the 1960s and 70s, disappeared from fashion almost completely by the early 1980s and were revived by the retro trend of the late 1990s. By that time, "A-line" was used more loosely to describe any dress wider at the hips than at the bust or waist, as well as a number of flared skirt styles. "True" A-line shapes on the pattern of Dior and Saint Laurent saw a revival in the early 2000s.

Richard Clayderman (born Philippe Pagès, 28 December 1953, Paris, France) is a French pianist who has released numerous albums including the compositions of Paul de Senneville and Olivier Toussaint, instrumental renditions of popular music, rearrangements of movie soundtracks, ethnic music, and easy-listening arrangements of most popular works of classical music.
Clayderman learned piano from his father, a piano teacher.
At the age of twelve, he was accepted into the Conservatoire de Paris, where he won great acclaim in his later adolescent years. Financial difficulties, not the least precipitated by his father's illness, forestalled a promising career as a classical pianist. So in order to earn a living, he found work as a bank clerk and as an accompanist to contemporary bands. He accompanied French singers such as Johnny Hallyday, Thierry Le Luron, and Michel Sardou.
In 1976, he was invited by Olivier Toussaint, a French record producer, and his partner Paul de Senneville, to record a gentle piano ballad. de Senneville had composed this ballad as a tribute to his new daughter "Adeline". The 23-year-old Pagès was auditioned along with 20 other pianists and got the job. "He was an interesting musician with a soft touch and good technique", said Toussaint. "And he looked good, too".
it's easier not to be wise
and measure these things by your brains
I sank into Eden with you
alone in the church by and by
I'll read to you here, save your eyes
you'll need them, your boat is at sea
your anchor is up, you've been swept away
and the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
to leave you there, by yourself, chained to fate
I alone love you
I alone tempt you
I alone love you
fear is not the end of this!
it's easier not to be great
and measure these things by your eyes

alone in the church by and by
to cradle the baby in space
and leave you there by yourself chained to fate

only love can save us now,
all these riddles that you burn
all come runnin' back to you,
all these rhythms that you hide

See the light shining
Filling up the sky
Jah light is that sun shine
Bringing light to all dark places
The truth must be revealed
To the light of day
Father, Spirit, Son please guide us
As we travel on our way
Chorus:
Give thanks unto the Father
Give thanks unto the Son
Give thanks to the Holy of Holes
Woe the Holy One
And like a tree planted by the rivers of water
I set forth My roots, My roots, My roots unto this water
And Grow, Grow, Grow in the Spirit
And understand the ways of truth and light
Jah word the power to heal you
Health and strength and love and life
And you know in due season
So strong and firm your fruit shall be
And tasting sweet as honey
HOLY
I am giving enough thanks unto the Father, giving enough thanks to the Son
I said Almighty Jah Jah Yeshua the Holy One
I am giving enough thanks unto the Father, giving enough thanks to the Son
I said Jesus Christ yes He is the only one
He was born of a virgin in Bethlehem
With His 12 disciples he walked on the land
He made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem
For thirty pieces of silver Judas betrayed the Son of Man
Then He fulfilled the prophecy, the Passover Lamb
When He hung upon the cross that is the crucifixion
Three days later that is the resurrection
Forty days later is the ascension
The Pentecost, the Holy Spirit upon the land
It is in you and it is in I man.
I am giving enough thanks unto the Father, giving enough thanks to the Son
I said Almighty Jah Jah Yeshua the Holy One
I am giving enough thanks unto the Father, giving enough thanks to the Son
Some store
I'm not going back there anymore
Wandered in
Don't think I'll do that again
No I don't think I'll do that again
I swear
Look at me cross-eyed and I don't know what to do
No I don't know what to do
Crazy loon
There's a room in his pallet
There's a pillow for his head
Sees an offshoot in his bottle
When he wants to see me dead
Heirlooms A loon
Never thought I'd see that silly grin
Never thought I'd see that fool again
Never thought I'd love that lunatic
Nothing left to dance around
What a hero
What a black and blue bird
What a loon, A loon
Loud and proud
Loud and proud
Alone, in the crowd
Sometimes I feel more dead than alive
Sometimes I feel I can do it this time
Sometimes I feel so empty inside
Sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mind
Sometimes I feel like trash cast aside
Sometimes I feel suffocated by the lies
I want to burn it
I want to hurt them
The spider readies the web
May the bridges I burn light my way
Isolated in defiance, I will remain
May the bridges I burn light my way
I will never comply, I'll forever defy
I'm strange
I'm odd
I'm queer
I'm flawed
I'm one of a kind
I'm strange
I'm odd
I'm queer
I'm flawed
I am divine
Alone, in the crowd
Sometimes I feel nothing at all
Sometimes I feel everything is my fault
Sometimes I feel the hate break my mind
Sometimes I feel they deserve it this time
Sometimes I feel my scars are for rent
Sometimes I feel my hands around their necks
I want to crush them
I want to hurt them
The spider readies the web
May the bridges I burn light my way
Isolated in defiance, I will remain
May the bridges I burn light my way
I will never comply, I'll forever defy
I'm strange
I'm odd
I'm queer
I'm flawed
I'm one of a kind
I'm strange
I'm odd
I'm queer
I'm flawed
I am divine
Don't let the heavy drapes of the world drag you down
I don't wanna be complete
I don't wanna be content
I don't wanna be perfect
I don't wanna be like them
Loud and proud
Loud and proud
I don't wanna be complete
I don't wanna be content
I don't wanna be perfect
I don't wanna be like them
May the bridges I burn light my way
Isolated in defiance, I will remain
May the bridges I burn light my way
I will never comply, I'll forever defy

Quero ver você sair ao mar
Amar o precipício solto numa boa
E deixar atrás o velho cais
E na distância ver a olho nu
Com asa fechada ninguém voa
Vamos juntos nessa lição aprender
Arriscar até secar as lágrimas
E deixar atrás todo o cais...
Quero ver você dormir em paz
Amar sem perguntar o nome da pessoa
E deixar atrás o velho lar
Na solidão e ver a olho nu
Na falta de céu ninguém voa
E cantar alguma canção é a toa
Arriscar até a lágrima inundar
Todo o cais...
