Eric Patrick Clapton, CBE, (born 30 March 1945) is an English guitarist and singer-songwriter. Clapton is the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: once as a solo artist, and separately as a member of The Yardbirds and Cream. Clapton has been referred to as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time. Clapton ranked second in Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time" and fourth in Gibson's Top 50 Guitarists of All Time.
In the mid 1960s, Clapton departed from the Yardbirds to play blues with John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. In his one-year stay with Mayall, Clapton gained the nickname "Slowhand". Immediately after leaving Mayall, Clapton formed Cream, a power trio with drummer Ginger Baker and bassist Jack Bruce in which Clapton played sustained blues improvisations and "arty, blues-based psychedelic pop." For most of the 1970s, Clapton's output bore the influence of the mellow style of J.J. Cale and the reggae of Bob Marley. His version of Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff" helped reggae reach a mass market. Two of his most popular recordings were "Layla", recorded by Derek and the Dominos, another band he formed and Robert Johnson's "Crossroads", recorded by Cream. A recipient of seventeen Grammy Awards, in 2004 Clapton was awarded a CBE for services to music. In 1998, Clapton, a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, founded the Crossroads Centre on Antigua, a medical facility for recovering substance abusers.
Armin van Buuren (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɑr.mɪn vɑn ˈby.rə(n)]), OON (born 25 December 1976 in Leiden, Netherlands) is a Dutch trance producer and DJ. Between 2007 and 2010, he was voted number one in DJ Magazine's annual top 100 list of the most popular DJs. In the 2011 list, he ranked in second place. Since 2001, Van Buuren has hosted a weekly radio show called A State of Trance, which claims to have around 15 million weekly listeners in 26 countries, which would make it one of the most listened-to radio shows in the world. His 2008 studio album, Imagine, entered the Dutch album chart at #1, a first for a dance music artist in Dutch music history.
Armin van Buuren was born in Leiden, Netherlands on 25 December 1976, but grew up in Koudekerk aan den Rijn. Van Buuren started making music when he was 14.[citation needed] He was inspired by French electronic music composer, Jean Michel Jarre, and wished to become a great electronic music composer like Jarre.[citation needed]
He finished high school at the Stedelijk Gymnasium Leiden in 1995, and left for college to study law at Leiden University. While studying law, Van Buuren's interest for making music blossomed, and he began working as a DJ in a local club called Nexus. As his musical career began to take off, he put his law degree on hold, although he did return to finish law school in 2003.

The story is about a very poor boy that wanted abundance and wealth because he basically didn't own anything. He was in love with an equally poor girl that his father wouldn't accept. He moves to another village and starts drinking...

Play it slow, lay it low
you lead and then I'll follow
ooh heaven, i don't know
where art thou my romeo
sing it slow
sing it so we can be infatual
doesn't matter where we go
it's unconditional
will you still be here tomorrow
catching morning rays in Tahoe
will i see you there tomorrow
baby can't you see
the love in me
(Chorus)
in 2004
will you be loving me more
through all that stormy weather
say forever
for you i'll do for sure
will you open the door
will you come catch me when i fall
at the end i hope together we can soar in year 2004
ooh baby
I'm gonna give you all the love I have
ooh baby baby baby baby baby
i love you
I love you and I know you do to
ooh baby baby baby baby
I'm gonna give you...
*back to (c) & chorus.
I'm gonna love you
Oh yes I will
I'm gonna teach you
Baby yes I will
I'm gonna save it for you, then I will give it to you
ooh baby yes I will
Don't you know you should never look back, they only want us dead
Even though in a minute or two you might just be ahead
Last year was messy but promises were sweet
Last year was ugly and you were incomplete
When you know that you did your best they say that you're off-peak
Maybe now it's a little to late to turn the other cheek
Your dream is holy and worth the spill of blood
But please don't worry, it's gonna be alright
Anytime you cry
Anytime you smile
Anytime you're lonely
Anytime you cheat
Anytime you lie
You don't have to bother
The year 2004 will be yours
You don't believe in anything
You don't believe in me
You don't believe in fantasies
You don't believe it's real
Anytime you cry
Anytime you smile
Anytime you're lonely
That's what I felt
During that
Amazing year
2004
Life made us fall in love
With the present
Not the future
Not the past
And I can't tell
Well what you gave us
While we were all around
In 2004
We brought ourselves into the dream
That we kept locked for so long
Breathe the universe
And Feel you're stronger than pain
That's what that year gave us
Breathe the Universe
And Feel you're able to change
Love yourself again
Us
The van
And then
The streets again
To dream one more day
In 2004
We let our souls
Try to believe
We're better together
And I can't tell well
What You gave us while
We were all around
In 2004
You gave us strength
And Brought us love
The dream we dreamt for so long
