Liège (French pronunciation: [ljɛːʒ]; Dutch: Luik, [lœyk] ( listen); Walloon: Lidje; German: Lüttich; Latin: Leodium; Limburgish: Luuk; Luxembourgish: Léck; until 17 September 1946 the city's name was written Liége, with the acute accent instead of a grave accent) is a major city and municipality of Belgium located in the province of Liège, of which it is the economic capital, in Wallonia, the French-speaking region of Belgium.
The city is situated in the valley of the Meuse River, near Belgium's eastern borders with the Netherlands and Germany, where the Meuse meets the Ourthe. It is in the former sillon industriel, the industrial backbone of Wallonia. The Liège municipality includes the former communes of Angleur, Bressoux, Chênée, Glain, Grivegnée, Jupille-sur-Meuse, Rocourt, and Wandre.
The city is the principal economic and cultural centre of Wallonia. As of October 2011, Liège has 196,496 inhabitants. The metropolitan area, including the outer commuter zone, covers an area of 1,879 km2 and has a total population of 749,110 as of 1 January 2008. This includes a total of 52 municipalities, a.o. Herstal and Seraing. Liège ranks as the third most populous city in Belgium, after Brussels and Antwerp, and the fourth municipality after Antwerp, Gent and Charleroi. (note that the size of the municipality can be relatively small compared to the real size of the agglomeration)
Damien Saez is a French singer-songwriter.
Damien Saez was born in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, Savoie, on 1 August 1977, where he lived until the age of 3–4 years before his family moved to Marseille. Saez spent most of his childhood in Marseille until he moved to Dijon when he was about 8 years old, where he was raised by his Algerian mother, after she divorced her Andalusian husband. Later, she met a director of documentaries who worked for the French channel 'France 3' and gave birth to Damien's two younger brothers.
At the age of 8, Saez started taking piano lessons with Boris Nedeltchev at the Conservatoire National de Région de Dijon and graduated 9 years later. He then took an interest in playing the guitar. His career as a singer began in 1995 when he let his interest in writing come out. He stopped playing in bands that sang covers of more famous bands like Pink Floyd. He wanted to work on his own songs that he had written and try to attract a new audience.
In 1999, a record company became interested in his compositions, and he signed a record contract with Island and began to record his first album Jours étranges ("Strange Days", a tribute to the album of the same name by The Doors) which went double platinum. His first single Jeune et con was broadcast on many radio stations and reached the general public, which earned him a nomination for award The Newcomer of the Year' at the Victoires de la Musique in 2001.
Jacques Brel (French pronunciation: [ʒak bʁɛl]; 8 April 1929 – 9 October 1978) was a Belgian singer-songwriter who composed and performed literate, thoughtful, and theatrical songs that generated a large, devoted following in France initially, and later throughout the world. He was widely considered a master of the modern chanson. Although he recorded most of his songs in French, he became a major influence on English-speaking songwriters and performers such as David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, and Rod McKuen. English translations of his songs were recorded by many top performers in the United States, including Ray Charles, Judy Collins, John Denver, the Kingston Trio, Nina Simone, Frank Sinatra, Scott Walker, and Andy Williams. In French-speaking countries, Brel was also a successful actor, appearing in ten films. He also directed two films, one of which, Le Far West, was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1973. Jacques Brel has sold over 25 million records worldwide, and is the third best-selling Belgian recording artist of all time.
The going rate on seduction must be a dime a dozen
So don't get your hopes up
This life's a contradiction,
a typecast for hypocrisies,
but you run the miles away on to sell yourself short
And i am the one who dreams of you
I dream of you as a concubine
Taste the salt from your worthless tears
I felt your heart beat for one last time
and i let go forever
And I am the one who dreams of you
I dream of you
I still dream of you
Sirens fade from silence
this is were the story ends
In a dream of truth, they'll never find you
Yellow tape, empty chalklines,
that's all she wrote
Head first through a noose,
I'd shed a tear for you,
but you're not even here
I scream your name for one last time
Can you here me now?
Can you feel me now?
But i must move on to find
reason for years of weakening disaster
So wait for passion, but tell me,
do you fear for heartache?
There's no hope left for solace
I know, I know so let go
This blackout begins to define this sorry moment
So wait for passion, but tell me,
do you fear for heartache?
I let go of everything I loved
From all the bridge drops,
I leave her crimson tide
There's no hope left for solace
I know, I know so i let go
This blackout begins
How many times?
How many times should I stab you in the face?
How long will shame instill suffering?
"But it won't happen again" she says, lying through her teeth.
Rotting at the mouth she prays for tragedy, With your hands tied around your back.
You drown in your own blood.
You choke on dependence.
You were always powerless.
Erase your self-worth.
This time her blood will spill.
This time I won't stand still.
Last call for decadence.
She's already gone.
My eyes will bleed from what I've seen.
Thorns enter through belief and the covering, but your downfall is inevitable.
Cry out for help textbook battered wife, but she says she's sorry, but it'll happen again.
Spread your legs for revenge.
How does it feel?
Does it feel good?
Does it feel like success?
You kiss the knife that slits your wrist.
You long for love that doesn't exist.
Thorns enter through belief and the covering, but your downfall is inevitable.
Murder, question for the hour
Should she paint the town red again?
Such an act of compassion,
such a waste of life
She awakes her smile with the keys in her hand
Pretty facial mod with the tire marks in his skin
He'll wait to forgive you
He'll lose this time and never win
Like clockwork, oh how the tables have turned
This tragic play of cards you've been dealt
Fall in love, lose your life
Back and forth again, it's suicide
Love is suicide, it's freedoms child
She couldn't bear the pain
Broken skies beyond the diagnosed,
fade the sun to black and wait for the ghost.
Love is suicide, it's freedom's child
She couldn't bear the pain
No sense to beg for mercy
No sense to reconcile now
Persisting beyond maladaptive disorder
Stitching the mouth shut spitting disposition
Spineless is the brace of weakness
Masking contortion behind walls of indigence
Perish in your guilt
Let go of benediction
Hang from the branch of truth
Time runs thin for redemption
The air reeks of betrayal
So i hold my breath
You pushed too far
There's nothing left
Backstabbing your way to the bottom of denial
There is no forgiveness left
within my sorrow
The air reeks of betrayal
so i hold my breath
In this our we devour all our fears
Nothing you say is real
Denial is passion for the weakminded fool
that insulates reality
a far call for hallucinations and household stereotypes
This one rocks them all
This is when angels fail
Slice the lips and never kiss again
Watch the tides take me away
If only Jesus could repay
If only revenge was sacred
Still I won't sulk in silent strife,
I'm not your saint
Still I'll slice your lips every night
just to taste your blood
To forget fade your eyelids shut
Nail your hands to the cross with love
I will have your end tonight
I will finally win
You won't forget me, not after this
I'm here to make you pay
Without a soul I take your life forever
Hollowed-bodied skin textured
vacuum of innocence
I couldn't stop her from killing herself
Everytime that i see her face
it takes me away
Everytime that I open my eyes
I see her crying, I see her dying
Fake that smile for one more kiss of the death you spread
Face the lies 'cause tonight's your night to realize
Happiness, i heard, is a heart attack for you'd
better check your vital signs.
At any moment, the incisive will recognize defeat like perfection, bleeding fever, holy season of reckoning
You twist the knife
and you like to pretend when you cry it's all right
Well it's all right
The lies you cannot hide
We'll meet again and again at the fault line
We'll meet again at the fault line
You were the first one to stop my heart
You'll be the last one to hold me back
Expect the worse.
You deserve nothing but
another prayer, another tragedy
Happiness, i heard, is a heart attack for you'd
better check your vital signs.
Another prayer, another tragedy
The tears will fall like rain tonight
under a bloody moonlight
and a bleeding sky
Vomit paints the picture, losing flesh in a missing moment.
Eating locusts, asleep for days.
Silver splendor burns the memory.
Let the blood from our vein run dry all night.
Carry the soul that signifies your heart through mine.
Murder awakes the child.
Cancer whore of manipulation, stab wound mistress plays the travesty.
Let the blood from our vein run dry all night.
Carry the soul that signifies your heart through mine.
And it signifies your heart and it signifies your arms broken, bathing in sin.
Open dissection, removing skin.
I have nothing with you.
You're just nothing.
I'm sorry you did this to yourself and I'm sorry you failed again.
It's time to reverse the aim of this barrel, to forget I'm punctured forever.
The purity died and so will I so cough your lungs out cancer.
Let the blood from our vein run dry all night.
Carry the soul that signifies your heart through mine.
I'll wait for the answers someone else has given you.
I'll wait for days
I failed my heart for way too long.
I've fallen apart, but thats over now
Those who disrespected me, tread upon broken glass and they will not last
I gave everything i had just to be here.
Their words don't mean shit
And life's not fair
So wait for days all alone with the false idea of truth
Pray for the empty walls you build around your hope
This is my last request to you before it's too late
Cherish the time you've been given too look forward
Go ahead, lie to my face, but just for today.
I remember everything.
I failed my heart for way too long.
I've fallen apart, but that's over now.
It's time to set this straight.
We won't turn back now.
You turned your back on me
Call out for friends you don't have.
We won't turn back now.
You turned your back on me.
I smell your fear, filled with reject.
As a last resort, today I watch you die.
Walk the line as the fade.
The immaculate deception, as you dwell for years.
Parasite with credulous eyes, but your lost something more.
Redemption is born denying the trusted.
Savor the time serial killin'.
Off seconds to a magic misery.
Forget this passage, forget the sorrow.
I've gone and done it again.
Across the pathways of premonition, a cyanide romance called disbelief.
You keep searching.
I'll keep searching for a remedy to light the way.
I'll keep my head held high.
Am I just a fool to trust in you?
The immaculate deception, you're just a fraud.
Parasite with credulous eyes.
Today I watch you die.
Slash the heart and spread the light.
Open rib cage watchin' you die.
I found nothing.
I have gone and done it again.
Scream aloud dismembered friend.
Open rib cage watchin' you die.
I found nothing.
Cut your heart out.
Count to ten.
Where incision begins, illusion will end.
Dispose love, her crying embrace.
Shatter my hope into pieces.
And I'm left to pick up the pieces.
Every word that you spoke was just poison and I choked.
Everything that we had meant nothing to you.
Kisses burn my lips with sick sadness.
Awake from years of slumbering fear.
Love is a filthy word.
Puss flowing from the heart of burden.
Now say goodnight my love.
Well I guess this is goodbye with knives stabbed through my eyes one last time for feeling safe.
Now say goodnight my love.
Cut your heart out and count to ten.
One day you'll see there's no such thing as a happy ending.
Every word that you spoke was just poison and I choked.
Everything that we had meant nothing to you.
It meant nothing to you.
Every word that you spoke was poison.
No more crying eyes.
No more sick sadness.
No more pretty faces.
No more happy endings.
Now say goodnight.
This is your brain on drugs
This is who you are now
Are you happy?
Are you satisfied with the whore you've become?
You face the end
It's like you're already dead
Take a good look at yourself
You're next to nothing and there's nothing left for you
Check the pulse as the veins cauterize, say hello to the goodnight horizon
Date this day as forever when we felt another letdown
The American dream is a fabrication, a lie
Smile for the camera.
Right now this joke's on you
No matter what path i walk
I tear knives from my back
You can try to hold me down, but right now this joke's on you
Me against the world, i fight my way through
You can try to hold me down,
but right now this joke's on you
With a gun against your head
tell me who's laughing now?
Smile for the camera
Right now this joke's on you
You squeal like a pig when your fucked
You'd lick the blood off a dick for a head
You squeal like a pig
