Abęl Makkonen Tesfaye (born 16 February 1990), known professionally by his stage name The Weeknd (pronounced "the weekend"), is a Canadian singer, songwriter and record producer. In late 2010, Tesfaye anonymously uploaded several songs to YouTube under the name "The Weeknd". He released three nine-track mixtapes throughout 2011: House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence, which were critically acclaimed. The following year, he released a compilation album Trilogy, thirty tracks consisting of remastered versions of the mixtape material and three additional songs. It was released under Republic Records and his own label XO.
In 2013, he released his debut studio album Kiss Land, which was supported by the singles "Kiss Land" and "Live For". His second album, Beauty Behind the Madness, which became his first number one album on the Billboard 200, included the top-five single "Earned It" and produced the number-one singles "The Hills" and "Can't Feel My Face". The songs have simultaneously held the top three spots on the Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart, making him the first artist in history to achieve this.
The Bee Gees were a pop music band formed in 1958. The band's line-up consisted of brothers Barry, Robin, and Maurice Gibb. The trio were successful for most of their decades of recording music, but they had two distinct periods of exceptional success: as a popular music act in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and as prominent performers of the disco music era in the late 1970s. The group sang recognisable three-part tight harmonies; Robin's clear vibrato lead vocals were a hallmark of their earlier hits, while Barry's R&B falsetto became their signature sound during the late 1970s and 1980s. They wrote all of their own hits, as well as writing and producing several major hits for other artists.
Born on the Isle of Man to English parents, the Gibb brothers lived in Chorlton, Manchester, England, until the late 1950s, and formed the Rattlesnakes. The family then moved to Redcliffe, in Queensland, Australia, and then to Cribb Island. After achieving their first chart success in Australia as the Bee Gees with "Spicks and Specks" (their 12th single), they returned to the UK in January 1967 where producer Robert Stigwood began promoting them to a worldwide audience.
as time passes by
girl we've had our ups and downs
but there's one thing I know
to be certain
girl we've really got sweet love
the problems we've over come
make us stronger everyday
as we wake to the morning sun
it gives me one more chance to say
that I really love you girl
and with you my heart will stay
and there's one thing that I know
can't be taken
CHORUS
we got our love
we got our love
we got this love
it's the only thing that life dreams of
as day slips slowly slowly into night
oh how our youth just fades away
don't you know we'll be
walking hand in hand baby
oh together on life's highway
cause I'll never leave this love
it's the best thing that I've known
I wouldn't pass you up
and you will never be alone
I'm so in love with you
you're the reason why I breath
this is the one thing that I know
can't be taken
CHORUS
it's the only things that life dreams of
I dreamed of true love
it's the only thing life dreams of
then I found you
and there's nothing more I need
cause you're everything I've ever hoped for
