AT&T Mobility LLC (branded and referred to as AT&T, formerly Cingular Wireless LLC) is a wholly owned subsidiary of AT&T that provides wireless services to 103 million subscribers in the United States, including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. AT&T Mobility is the second largest wireless telecommunications provider in the United States and Puerto Rico below Verizon Wireless, which has 108.3 million customers as of the third quarter of 2011. AT&T Mobility is headquartered in the Lenox Park area of DeKalb Co. Georgia, just outside Atlanta.
Originally Cingular Wireless LLC from 2000 to 2007, a joint venture between SBC Communications and BellSouth, the company acquired the old AT&T Wireless in 2004; SBC later acquired the original AT&T and re-branded as "AT&T". Cingular became wholly owned by AT&T in December 2006 as a result of AT&T's acquisition of BellSouth.
In January 2007, Cingular confirmed it would re-brand itself under the AT&T name. Although the legal corporate name change occurred immediately, for both regulatory and brand-awareness reasons both brands were used in the company's signage and advertising during a transition period. The transition concluded in late June, just prior to the rollout of the Apple iPhone.
Charlyn Marie Marshall (born January 21, 1972), also known as Chan Marshall or by her stage name Cat Power, is an American singer/songwriter and occasional actress and model. Cat Power was originally the name of Marshall's first band, but has come to refer to her musical projects with various backing bands. Over a twenty year career she has produced eight studio albums, one live album and two EPs.
A native of Atlanta, Georgia, Marshall loved soul, rock 'n' roll and country music from childhood and began to play guitar in experimental bands with friends in her early adult years. After a move to New York at age 20, Marshall recorded two lo-fi, improvised solo albums, Dear Sir (1995) and Myra Lee (1996), collaborating with Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley. Cat Power then signed to Matador Records to release her third, more focused album, What Would the Community Think? (1996), which united her with notable indie musicians. She followed with Moon Pix (1998) and The Covers Record (2000), receiving notice for her spare, intense originals and radically stripped down takes on folk songs and familiar songs. You Are Free (2003) was more structured indie rock and brought Cat Power wider attention. Marshall followed it up with the one-take performance film, Speaking for Trees (2004), filmed in a forest. The Greatest (2006), in which she worked with classic R&B and gospel musicians, was her most recent collection of original songs, and her best-selling. A second covers collection, Jukebox (2008), with a horn-led backing band, is her most recent album.
The stars came out tonight
And your eyes locked on to mine
Our hands intertwine
We layed in the grass on a blanket
We let the cool air carry us away
When I'm with you
It's like Im floating on thin air,
So easy to breathe,
To believe in,
The things you do that sweep me off my feet
That semi-drifting into space
It's like there's no more gravity
And now I'm mesmerized
High above the city lights
The rocket sparks ignite
And our hearts take flight
And I just need you to know
When I'm with you
It's like Im floating on thin air,
So easy to breathe,
To believe in
The things you do that sweep me off my feet
That semi-drifting into space
It's like there's no more gravity
And I asked one thing: Will you always hold on to me?
Oh we're floating x3
& I asked one thing: Will you always hold on to me? Hold on to me
When I'm with you
It's like Im floating on thin air
So easy to breathe
To believe in
The things you do that sweep me off my feet
That semi-drifting into space
