Mylène Farmer (pronounced: [milɛn faʁmœʁ]), born Mylène Jeanne Gautier[milɛn ɡotje]; born 12 September 1961), is a French singer, songwriter, occasional actress and author.
She has sold more than 30 million records and is among the most successful recording artists of all time in France. She holds the record for the most number one hits in the French charts, with twelve to date, eight of which were consecutive.
Mylène Farmer was born in Pierrefonds, Quebec, Canada. Her parents moved from France in the late 1950s as Farmer's father, Max, pursued an engineering contract on a dam. Her family returned to France when she was eight, settling in the Parisian suburb of Ville d'Avray. In her teenage years, Farmer was passionate about horse-riding, qualifying as a riding instructor at the equestrian centre in Saumur. At the age of 17, however, Farmer discovered acting and she abandoned the stables to take a three-year course at the Cours Florent, a drama school in Paris. Changing her name to Mylène Farmer as a tribute to her idol, 1930s Hollywood actress Frances Farmer, she began to earn a living as a model acting in several TV ads such as Fiskars, Caisse d'Epargne etc.
Sergei Sergeyevich Prokofiev (Russian: Сергей Сергеевич Прокофьев; 23 April 1891 – 5 March 1953) was a Russian composer, pianist and conductor who mastered numerous musical genres and is regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century. His best-known works include the March from The Love for Three Oranges, the suite Lieutenant Kijé, the ballet Romeo and Juliet – from which "Dance of the Knights" is taken – and Peter and the Wolf. Besides many other works, Prokofiev also composed five piano concertos, nine completed piano sonatas and seven symphonies.
A graduate of the St Petersburg Conservatory, Prokofiev initially made his name as an iconoclastic composer-pianist, achieving notoriety with a series of ferociously dissonant and virtuosic works for his instrument and his first two piano concertos. Prokofiev's first major success breaking out of the composer-pianist mould was with his purely orchestral Scythian Suite, compiled from music originally composed for a ballet commissioned by Sergei Diaghilev of the Ballets Russes; Diaghilev commissioned three further ballets from Prokofiev – Chout, Le pas d'acier and The Prodigal Son – which at the time of their original production were all highly successful. Prokofiev's greatest interest, however, was opera, and he composed several works in that genre, including The Gambler and The Fiery Angel. Prokofiev's one relative success in that genre during his lifetime was The Love for Three Oranges, composed for Chicago and subsequently performed over the following decade in Europe and Russia.
Sweeney Todd is a fictional character who first appeared as the murderer of the Victorian penny dreadful The String of Pearls (1846–1847) and he was later introduced as an antihero of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and its film adaptations. Claims that Sweeney Todd was a historical person are strongly disputed by scholars, although there are possible legendary prototypes.
In the original version of the tale, Todd is a barber who dispatches his victims by pulling a lever while they are in his barber chair, which makes them fall backward down a revolving trapdoor into the basement of his shop, generally causing them to break their necks or skulls. Just in case they are alive, he goes to the basement and "polishes them off" (slitting their throats with his straight razor). In some adaptations, the murdering process is reversed, with Todd slitting the throats of his customers before they are dispatched into the basement via the revolving trapdoor. After Todd has robbed his dead victims of their goods, Mrs. Lovett, his partner in crime (in some later versions, his friend and/or lover), assists him in disposing of the bodies by baking their flesh into meat pies, and selling them to the unsuspecting customers of her pie shop. Todd's barber shop is situated at 186 Fleet Street, London, next to St. Dunstan's church, and is connected to Mrs. Lovett's pie shop in nearby Bell Yard by means of an underground passage. In most versions of the story, he and Mrs. Lovett hire an unwitting orphan boy, Tobias Ragg, to serve the pies to customers.
Georges Méliès (English pronunciation: /mɛ.li.'ez/); (8 December 1861 – 21 January 1938), full name Marie-Georges-Jean Méliès, was a French illusionist and filmmaker famous for leading many technical and narrative developments in the earliest days of cinema. Méliès, a prolific innovator in the use of special effects, accidentally discovered the substitution stop trick in 1896, and was one of the first filmmakers to use multiple exposures, time-lapse photography, dissolves, and hand-painted color in his work. Because of his ability to seemingly manipulate and transform reality through cinematography, Méliès is sometimes referred to as the first "Cinemagician". Two of his most well-known films are A Trip to the Moon (1902) and The Impossible Voyage (1904). Both stories involve strange, surreal voyages, somewhat in the style of Jules Verne, and are considered among the most important early science fiction films, though their approach is closer to fantasy. Méliès was also an early pioneer of horror cinema, which can be traced back to his Le Manoir du diable (1896).
An angel with coal painted feathers washed ashore
An angel that needn't be cleansed anymore
All the earth and air with out substance smeared
On days passed heaven overflowed
Now with a thousand clouds covered
In the broad white dawn
All the lights so strangely float
From rainbow fallen in the glowworm's light
Under the bodies of dew we were still
It's all so clear, like silver from gold
Once this was our will
Silver like the ebb and tide gone by
Silver the farewells and goodbyes
This is for the stillness of empty days
For the nevers... and the always
Like the sorceress in you in the light of these thoughts
We'd stay till we ran out of fears
You gave me a world of reasons to endure
So the prophecy said love
When we meet and the fire shows
Just let it all go
Yes, just let it go
We feel the same we two
We're so close me and you
Girl, you are all that I need
Yes, you are all that I need
We draw flame we catch fire with every breath
All the thrills in the world are not enough
This love is the remedy
Medicine that keeps us free
Pain, relief and ecstasy
Now this is all we'll ever need
This love is the remedy
Sweetest drug that sets us free
Pain, relief and ecstasy
Now this is all we'll ever want to feel
We both uphold the dream
And we'll always know what it means
When we set it free
Yes, we set it free
Surrender to the feel
A vibe that is unreal
Girl, you are all that I need
I know there's a little love in you yet
I know there's a little life in us left
I know there's a little love in you yet
I know there's a little chance for us left
I should be praying but I don't want you to know
If the rain will fall like the summer rains
We've seen too many of them
We've been watching the rain
Every now and then
We've been praying for rain
She is burnt so badly by the flames from her heart
Devil dancing on our souls to keep up part
For the bridges we burnt, for the dreams that died
We cry, we pray
She is burnt so badly by the flames from her heart
Devil dancing on our souls to keep up part
For the days we lost, for the times we missed
We cry, we pray
With her nothing's quite what it seems
It feels like we were part of the same dream, dream of
Deep deep love and deep deep wounds
The deeper the love the deeper the wounds
She is burnt so badly by the flames from her heart
Devil dancing on our souls to keep us part
For our song unsung, for our lives undone
We cry, we pray
With her nothing's quite what it seems
It feels like we were par of the same dream, dream of
Deep deep love and deep deep wounds
Light, this ecstatic light
There when our lives are burning with the speed of light
Rain, everfalling rain
We're running through the night to shelter from the rain
And we're raising a fire, we give it life
Just let me hold you, just one more time
Don't say you're leaving now
Stay 'till the morning light
We drift on through the night
Night, this ecstatic night
There when our hearts are beating with the pulse of night
Stars, evershining stars
When we light a fire reaching to touch the stars
And we're losing all sense, we give it away
Nights of ecstasy that kill the days
Don't say you're leaving now
Stay 'till the morning light
You couldn't cut me deeper with a knife if you tried
The burden of tomorrow makes me run off and hide
You stripped me off my skin, let me know "love I come"
Glasscat lioness, now what have we done?
You and me we're in love with a lie
Morphine, morphine
You and me again that's why
Morphine, morphine
With plastic happiness comes the laughing emptiness
We've always been forgetting these magic recipes
You stripped me off my skin, let me know "love I come"
Glasscat lioness, now what have we done?
You and me we're in love with a lie
Morphine, morphine
You and me again that's why
Morphine, morphine
Putting on my oblivious helmet pretending I am dead
Trying again to sleep your words out of my head
Scratch not the surface, deep beneath the feelings lie
Moving in silence
Shelter their souls
Moving elegance
So complete and whole
Their eyes are shelled with darkness
They speak
With their lips shut
Cos beauty do not needs words
Venus lent her soul
A role
Perfection
Divinity so whole
Breathing fresh air
They speak
With their lips shut
Cos beauty do not need words
They're high and adored like never before
They're high and adored will never lose it all
Spirit and soul like a work of art
Beautiful faces, beautiful hearts
Like models
If I should lose, lose you today
You've been drifting, drifting away
If I should lose you, lose you today
I would calmly beg you, beg you to stay
But I've been losing you, losing you today
I only wanted you to stay
But I've been losing you, losing you today
And now our love is so far away
If I should lose you, lose you today
My stars would lead me, lead me astray
But I've been losing you, losing you today
I only wanted you to stay
But I've been losing you, losing you today
My coldly dreaming world
Renew my own perspective
Unresolved, shallow and empty
And so there is my whole - altogether
And so broken my soul - forever
So take it all, take it all away
Take me out of your game
It's all the same today, anyway
So take it all, take it all away
My softly dying star
Rebuild my own desire
Unfulfilled, hollow and dire
So take it all, take it all away
Take me out of your game
It's all the same today, anyway
So take it all, take it all
If we'd love ourselves to death
If we'd draw another breath
It's all the same in the end though
With her lion winter it is always spring
Hotel beds and hot windy summer mornings
We'll say yes to coming seasons, growth and change
I was chocked by the voracious springtime rain
You take away the pain
In your eyes I see eternal summer
In our world there'll be eternal summer
Hand in hand we met love in the apocalypse
Rhythmically lulled asleep she bit her lip
And said "when we made love on wedding day
did you feel this is for always, for always?"
You take away the pain
In your eyes I see eternal summer
In our world there'll be eternal summer
When the rain was over
Naked world uncovered
For once the sky was blue
No not in time, never saw the signs
Didn't know the lines how they were undersized
No hesitation, just give me a reason
Not an explanation, cos I know the game is on
Seize today yes seize the day
No tomorrow anyway - Elysée
No missing ties, never jeopardized
Didn't see the lies though they were underlined
No insinuations, just these old expressions
The rain is thrumming on
Windows soak the tears
I am so alone without her here
The rain is thrumming on
Downward-burning flame
Don't want her to know
Heaven wept again
The rain is thrumming on
Dark rivers that sear
I would want her to know
How I miss her here
I am haunted by her voice
By her eyes and by her touch
Still feeling her voracious love
Though she's gone and out of reach
Cold all white science bare white slave all over
Worship fixed in circles white floor glass ceiling painted
Nails fall white essence wrinkles stitched together
Minions blind miracles white eyes stare only fainted
One last day in Rome like a white dove in hell
Falling stars, silent wishes merely broken shells
Swing low, swing low
When stitched and sewn all over
Go down, go down
White scars unseen as ever
Gone to white presence seam white sewn unover
Last rose given never white thick oily scent departed
Preach to white silence dry mouth foams just slower
You strangle me so gently I choke on your hold
Your beautiful hands all over my soul
I try to forget but you are so whole
Like a star of heaven you shine alone
If I could only hear yo say perhaps, my name
My world would never ever be the same
If I could only see you eyes, smell your dark chestnut hair
Until I can hardly see, I feel that you're here
You drive the needle you shoot up my soul
You drive the needle in a world of gold
You drive the needle
I'm washing away but the pain still shows
I'm hurting inside but the pain still grows
The memory of you makes my day feel old
A long time ago I was too cold
Call your coroners girl, I'd die for your smile
If need could be reasoned with emotions would die
But I see through the darkness, a light to my eyes
You are the spiritfire on an earth of ice
You drive the needle you shoot up my soul
You drive the needle in a world of gold
If the light that cleaned our bodies
Only would have guided our souls too
If the life we shared in between the storms
Only would have let us know
Butterflies in your belly
Love lasts forever
Your body's like jelly
Your senses come together
If only we knew
That love lasts forever
Butterflies fly free
Fly free forever
If the hope that filled us with dreams
Only would have outlasted us two
If the air that we breathed
When December blacks out I haven't wept for days
Beneath the shade I still feel your vivid textures
I know you're watching the same stars anyway
Beneath the shade I still see these glowing pictures
When I'm in your arms, I'm always so free
When we are apart, it cuts so deep
We will never clash, it's easy to see
A perfect mismatch, we'll always be
With every breath I take I'm recalling your eyes
Beneath the shade I still taste your magic kisses
Every living moment I fall with driving rains
Beneath the shade I still hear these silent wishes
Waves keep the silence and winds wail in all stillness
When days and nights get colder I'm wrapped in blankets
I always knew you don't like secrets, or darkness
Rose die with me, fruits embitter and swans drown
Summer came and passed away without a sound
But it's over now and what can I do?
Dark are the days now, all year through
Can you hear the silence
Can you feel the thorns
Can you feel the silence
Can you hear the storms
Oh you were sad then in a time long gone
Not with you I drifted off into dead zones
And you were sick back when, chasing those fears
Needed me close and still I wasn't there
Can you hear the silence
Can you feel the thorns
Can you feel the silence
Can you hear the storms
You, you know what I'm feeling
Yes, you're all that I needed
You, you reach into my shell
Yes, you know me all too well
You, you breath the air I breathe
Yes, you see the world I see
You, you own my earth my sky
Yes, you said "let's get high and die"
And I do it all for you
I do it all for you
It's only you, it's only you
That make me feel like you do
It's only you, it's only you
And I do it all for you
It's only you, it's only you
You, you know when I'm so low
Yes, you're the girl I dreamed of
You, you free my desires
Take this down ca 1993
Grey dusk envelops the dying stream
Failing yet holding sway
Slowly going away
Grind me down, into the ground
Down again, when I drown
I've failed again
Absinthe always this way
Absinthe my loveless angel
Shaking nervously with intenser days
The pissant drags a bloody soul away
Building beds out of flesh
Rotting time, an empty caress
Grind me down, into the ground
Down again, when I drown
I've failed again
Absinthe always this way
Absinthe my loveless angel
A long way to go when chained to the earth
Sometimes, somewhere, someday
Out there so far away for you
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
3 am, a warming rain
I saw your cheeks red with springtime fires
Visualizing you all the time, again
When you were making faces in the river
You build me up when I'm torn down
I'll try to forget when I'm under ground
But you got the cure for me, the cure I need
Here it comes again, I am overwhelmed
These days are crazy, her weather is magic
Sometimes, somewhere, someday
Out t here so far away for you
I'll be waiting, I'll be waiting
3 am a warming rain
I saw you your vivid eyes and spirit glow
Visualizing you all the time, again
It's not easy to wake up without you
It's not easy to wake up at all
I'm ticking like a bomb
So empty and numb
These hardened eyes
Were windows of a shell thats broken
Break it, take it bleed it dry
Steal it, shake it let it die
Heal it, save it give it life
Fear it, feel it going high
Snowblind
It's not easy to wake up still sleeping
It's not easy to wake up alone
Been sweating through the parks
So shallow and dark
These hardened eyes
Do you know why our lives have grown cold
Maybe time had drawn us apart
And maybe we've been drifting apart
You're my whole world
But you've been on your way for a long time now girl
Would you kill the pain, just kill the pain
Make it beautiful again
Praise the earth that give us life
So kill the pain, just kill the pain
We could have it all again
Kiss the sun the stars the skies
Do you know if our love has burned out
What if we're afraid to let go
And what if, some dreams never let go
You're all to me
I've been reaching out into
Such emptiness it's hard to carry on
And so it seems, you never understood
I can never be without your soul
Cos your life pulsed through my body too
These stolen moments
Girl do you know
These stolen moments
Where are they now
Dark, dark were the days
That tore us part, that broke our hearts,
That brought these scars
Deep, deep were the nights
That made us one, when we were young,
Our love was strong
I light a fire each day
For when the cold wind blows
And you're not here (with me)
And so it seems, you never understood
I can never be without your soul
Cos your life pulsed through my body too
These stolen moments
Girl do you know
These stolen moments
Where are they now
So briefly, so easily, so cheaply
The went away
So briefly, so easily, so cheaply
Oh cotton girl you wind up
The sun and moon and stars
You kiss the deep night goodbye
Heal my wounds clean my scars
You infuse a deeper meaning
New colours and hues
You're my "girl on heaven hill"
God's talent put to use
All I needed, to be free
All I wanted, for us two
To hear you say the words "I do"
All I needed, to be free
All I wanted, to be with you
Yesmine, you're never mine
Yesmine, always on my mind
Oh cotton girl you draw away
Dark nights and cold lives
You take me to the boulevards
Where the rich meet to die
You exhude spiritual guidance
Blue notes for my soul
You enlight meanings hidden
With your passion and glow
All I needed, to be free
All I wanted, for us two
To hear you say the words "I do"
All I needed, to be free
All I wanted, to be with you
Yesmine, you're never mine
All things broken properly ordered and put away
Dead flowers, pictures of happy faces
Broken promises inked on white paper
Little things, just little that seemed to mean a lot
So much beautiful love made for nothing
Still feelings are warm and surprising
A bond that wouldn't break no not this time
How could it have been even better anyway
I loved you then, I love you now and I'll love you always
What they said was true, you gotta fight to win always
Never knew how to ask, but what I wanted to say
Was, "do you want to be with me for the rest of our days?"
A love so promising, so true and pure
Now it's so difficult to commit again
Feel like leaving, going away, drifting away
This is the world I see
You know we were misled but still meant to be
I wish your eyes were only open to see
This is all we'd ever need
This is the dreamless night
The secret world of starbirth and neon light
I remember how everything turned white
This time we will make it right
You know how these nights have affected me before
You know just how badly I want it all
These nights are not ever familiar
They are better than a million
And you know just how badly I want it all
This is the air I breathe
If we were stars, if it all was for real
The dreams, the darkness, the bitter on the streets
She and I were running through the parks
Beneath the clear black sky
Guided by the stars that shone to us a way
In July the heat was blue
Born into a night so new
She said "this summer my heart belongs to you"
I saw her, dark and sweet
Her presence an ecstasy
In the summer night set free
We will never be apart
In the summer of her heart
She and I were drowning in the heat
All sense of time and space
Was lost in the night of summer and fire
In July all we would do
Watch the stars burning too
She said "this summer my heart belongs to you"
I saw her dark and sweet
Her presence an ecstasy
In the summer night set free
We will never be apart
