Brian is a male given name of Irish and Breton origin, as well as a surname of Occitan origin. It is common in the English-speaking world. It is possible that the name is derived from an Old Celtic word meaning "high" or "noble". For example the element bre means "hill"; which could be transferred to mean "eminence" or "exalted one". The name is quite popular in Ireland, on account of Brian Boru, a 10th century king of Ireland. The name was also quite popular in East Anglia during the Middle Ages. This is because the name was introduced to England by Bretons following the Norman Conquest. Bretons also settled in Ireland along with the Normans in the 12th century, and 'their' name was mingled with the 'Irish' version. Also, in the north-west of England, the 'Irish' name was introduced by Scandinavian settlers from Ireland. Within the Gaelic speaking areas of Scotland, the name was at first only used by professional families of Irish origin. It was the fourth most popular male name in the United Kingdom in 1934, but a sharp decline followed over the remainder of the 20th century and by 1994 it had fallen out of the top 100.
Brian McKnight (born June 5, 1969) is an American singer-songwriter, arranger, producer, and R&B musician. He is a multi-instrumentalist who plays eight instruments including piano, guitar, bass guitar, percussion, trombone, tuba, flugelhorn and trumpet.. McKnight is perhaps most recognized for his strong falsetto range, and is widely regarded as one of the strongest talents in the adult urban contemporary R&B genre, although his recent efforts have received mixed reviews.
McKnight's work has earned him 16 Grammy Awards nominations, but currently holds the record for having won none.
McKnight was born in Buffalo, New York. His musical career began in childhood when he became a member of his church choir and a band leader for his high school, Sweet Home High School..
In 1987, McKnight's older brother, Claude McKnight III, and his band, Take 6, signed a record deal with Warner Brothers. This encouraged McKnight to shop his own demo tapes and by the age of 19, he'd signed his first recording deal with Mercury Records subsidiary, Wing Records. In 1992, Brian McKnight was released, and his self-titled debut peaked at fifty-eight in the Billboard 200 chart, which primarily featured the ballad (and top twenty single) "One Last Cry". It was followed by two more albums for Mercury, 1995's I Remember You and 1997's Anytime. Anytime, McKnight's final album with Mercury, sold over two million copies and was nominated for a Grammy. The video for "Anytime", directed by Darren Grant, was nominated for Best Male Video at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards.
Brian Griffin is a character from the animated television series Family Guy. An anthropomorphic dog, he is voiced by Seth MacFarlane and first appeared on television, along with the rest of the family, in a 15-minute short on December 20, 1998. Brian was created and designed by MacFarlane himself. MacFarlane was asked to pitch a pilot to the Fox Broadcasting Company based on The Life of Larry and Larry & Steve, two shorts made by MacFarlane (the second one at Hanna-Barbera for Cartoon Network's "What-A-Cartoon" project) which featured a middle-aged character named Larry and an intellectual dog, Steve. After the pilot was given the green light, the Griffin family appeared on the episode "Death Has a Shadow".
Brian is a member of the Griffin family. He primarily works in the series as a struggling writer attempting essays, books, novels, screenplays and newspaper articles. His appearance was a redesign of the protagonist Steve from MacFarlane's previous animated short films, The Life of Larry & Steve. He has been featured in much of the Family Guy merchandise, including toys, t-shirts, and video games, and has made crossover appearances in the other MacFarlane-produced shows, American Dad! and The Cleveland Show.

Steve Higgins (born August 13, 1963) is an American writer and comedian. He is currently the announcer for the NBC late-night talk show Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Higgins was previously best known as one of the stars and creators of the Comedy Central (formerly The Comedy Channel) sketch comedy series The Higgins Boys and Gruber. Since 1995, he's has a long-time association with Saturday Night Live in mostly behind-the-scenes roles as writer and producer. In the early 1990's, Higgins was a writer for the MTV programs Trashed and The Jon Stewart Show. He has been nominated for several Emmy Awards, including for Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Series and Outstanding Writing For A Variety, Music Or Comedy Program in 2008, both for his work on Saturday Night Live as a writer.
In addition to being a television series, The Higgins Boys and Gruber was also a sketch comedy trio featuring the Higgins brothers (Steve & David Anthony Higgins) and comedian Dave Gruber Allen. In 1989, Higgins performed at The Vic Theatre in Chicago, Illinois for HBO's One Night Stand television series, along with his brother Dave, and Gruber. With Nick Bakay, Higgins performed at the Girly Magazine Party show at Theatre/Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California in 1993, acting as "a sleazoid male chauvinist comedy duo who exchange off-color ethnic jokes and prance around in suits and ties like Steve Martin on acid". His brother, Dave, performed in the show as well in a separate act. Steve Higgins was praised for his ability of knowing "when to go over the top and when to rein it in", and how he was able to be "acutely tuned in to the comings and goings around them and know how to play off each other".

I never thought that I would feel this way
All I ever wanted was for love to stay
Baby hold me tight
Look into my eyes
Love has died
I know that this ain't right
I came to say goodbye
For the very last time
I never thought that I would feel this way
I'm still looking for the words to say
All I ever wanted was for love to stay
Right here in my arms, but you know
You know I'm not gonna be that strong
You know I can't keep on holding on and on
To what's gone, and now
You've been here loving me
Unselfishly
Willingly
I'll keep the memory, inside
But baby I've come down to my goodbye
My heart is filled with pain
Don't wanna play this game anymore, no no
Honey can't you see
You gotta set me free
'Cause I don't love you like before, no no
You know I hate to say it but you got me wrong
We've been going through with this for far too long
I know you got to thinkin' that you might belong
Right here in my arms, but you know
This time I'm not hangin' on to hope
This time I'm not gonna be the ghost
That haunts you home
You've been here loving me
Unselfishly
Willingly
I'll keep the memory, inside
But baby I've come down to my goodbye
You've been here loving me
Unselfishly
Willingly
I'll keep the memory, inside
But baby I've come down to my goodbye
You've been here loving me
Unselfishly
Willingly
I'll keep the memory, inside
when you love someone - you'll do anything
you'll do all the crazy things that you can't explain
you'll shoot the moon - put out the sun
when you love someone
you'll deny the truth - believe a lie
there'll be times that you'll believe you could really fly
but your lonely nights - have just begun
when you love someone
when you love someone - you'll feel it deep inside
and nothin else can ever change your mind
when you want someone - when you need someone
when you love someone...
when you love someone - you sacrifice
giving everything you've got and you won't think twice
you risk it all - no matter what may come
when you love someone
you'll shoot the moon - put out the sun
