Audrey /ˈɔːdri/ is an English feminine given name. It is the Anglo-Norman form of the Anglo-Saxon name Æðelþryð, composed of the elements æðel "noble" and þryð "strength". The Anglo-Norman form of the name was applied to Saint Audrey (d. 679), also known by the historical form of her name as Saint Æthelthryth. The same name also survived into the modern period in its Anglo-Saxon form, as Etheldred, e.g. Etheldred Benett (1776–1845).
In the 17th century, the name of Saint Audrey gave rise to the adjective tawdry "cheap and pretentious; cheaply adorned" (after a fair of St. Audrey where cheap lace was sold). As a consequence, use of the name declined, but it was revived in the 19th century. Popularity of the name in the United States peaked in the interbellum period, but it fell below rank 100 in popularity by 1940 and was not frequently given in the later half of the 20th century; Audrey was the 173rd most common name for females in the United States in the 1990 census. its popularity has again been on the rise since the 2000s, reaching rank 100 in 2002 and rank 41 in 2012. It was also ranked in the top 100 most common names for girls in France, Belgium, and Canada in the 2000s.
Michel Gondry (born 8 May 1963) is a French film director, screenwriter, and producer. He is noted for his inventive visual style and distinctive manipulation of mise en scène. He won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay as one of the writers of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), which is often ranked one of the greatest films of the 2000s.
His other films include the surrealistic science fantasy comedy The Science of Sleep (2006), the comedy-drama Be Kind Rewind (2008), the superhero action comedy The Green Hornet (2011), the drama The We and the I (2012), and the romantic drama Mood Indigo (2013).
He is well known for his music video collaborations with The Chemical Brothers, Björk and The White Stripes.
Gondry was born in Versailles. He is the grandson of inventor Constant Martin.
Gondry's vision and career began with his emphasis on emotion. Much of his inspiration, he says, came from the film Le voyage en ballon. He stated: "When I watch this movie, I dream I'm flying and then I do stories where people are flying. I think it's directly influencing."

Genres: Comedy, Drama, Short,Silent, she wakes up and ponders the day
Takin' her ti-i-ime, feeling her way
Everything is okay in her wor-orld
My life - of which she is so much a part
Has found a new mome-ent, found a new start
And deep in my heart I know-ow
That its Audrey
Lighting my life with her smi-ile
Looking through the eyes of a chi-i-ild
And turning my days into ni-ights
I-if not for Audrey
There would be nothing to share-are
There would be no reason to care-are-are
God only knows where I'd be-ee-ee
Maybe it's crazy-y, but I've never felt this way before
Never been broke-en, 'cause I've never been sure
Of a love so obscure - yesterday-ay
But ti-i-ime - which change is so much a part
Has opened my eye-eye-eyes, found a new start
And deep in my heart I know-ow
That its Audrey
Lighting my life with her smi-ile
Looking through the eyes of a chi-i-ild
And turning my days into ni-ights
I-if not for Audrey
There would be nothing to share-are
And there would be no reason to care-are-are
And God only knows where I'd be, yeah-eah-eah-eah
If not for Audrey-ey
Lighting my life with her smi-ile
I'm looking through the eyes of a chi-i-ild
And God only knows where I'd be-ee-ee
Without Au-audrey
If not for Audrey-ey
Lighting my li-i-ife
If not for Au-audrey-ey-ey
