Richard Paul "Rick" Astley ( /ˈrɪk ˈæstli/; born 6 February 1966) is an English singer-songwriter, musician, and radio personality. He is known for his 1987 song, "Never Gonna Give You Up", which was a #1 hit single in 25 countries. Astley holds the record for being the only male solo artist to have his first 8 singles reach the Top 10 in the UK and by retirement in 1993 had sold approximately 40 million records worldwide.
After retiring from the music industry in 1993, Astley made a comeback in 2007 when he became an Internet phenomenon, as his video for "Never Gonna Give You Up" became part of a popular Internet meme known as "Rickrolling". Astley was voted "Best Act Ever" by Internet users at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2008.
Richard Paul Astley was born on 6 February 1966 in Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire, England, becoming the fourth child of his family. His parents divorced when he was five, and Astley was brought up by his father. His musical career started when he was ten, singing in the local church choir. During his schooldays, Astley formed and played the drums in a number of local bands, where he met guitarist David Morris. After leaving school at sixteen, Astley was employed during the day as a driver in his father's market-gardening business and played drums on the Northern club circuit at night in bands such as “Give Way” - specialising in covering Beatles and Shadows songs - and “FBI”, which won several local talent competitions.
Neil Ellwood Peart ( /ˈpɪərt/; born September 12, 1952), OC, is a Canadian musician and author. He is the drummer and lyricist for the rock band Rush. Peart has received numerous awards for his musical performances, and is known for his technical proficiency and stamina.
Peart grew up in Port Dalhousie, Ontario (now part of St. Catharines). During adolescence, he floated from regional band to regional band in pursuit of a career as a full-time drummer. After a discouraging stint in England to concentrate on his music, Peart returned home, where he joined a local Toronto band, Rush, in the summer of 1974.
Early in his career, Peart's performance style was deeply rooted in hard rock. He drew most of his inspiration from drummers such as Keith Moon and John Bonham, players who were at the forefront of the British hard rock scene. As time passed, however, he began to emulate jazz and big band musicians Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich. In 1994, Peart became a friend and pupil of jazz instructor Freddie Gruber. It was during this time that Peart decided to revamp his playing style by incorporating jazz and swing components. Gruber was also responsible for introducing him to the products of Drum Workshop, the company whose products Peart currently endorses.
Looks like another day,
Slipping through my window shade.
Chasing the dark away,
Seeking into my room again.
Are you a sad and lonely thing,
Come to steal my piece of mind.
The only peace I find,
Is pretending your that still laying next to me.
So why, why, why
The suns gotta shine,shine.
Why don't it just stay away?
Why do dreams have to fade,
Into all these shades of blue,
Where I wait for you.
Pray love reaches through,
All these shades, shades of blue.
Where you close your eyes,
Feel me by your side.
I will wait for you,
In all these shades of blue.
Thinking back on my mistakes,
I can't undo all the days that I misused.
I thought you that ya always stay.
Its hard to face the simple truth,
That time brings no relief,
And time is all you need you said,
Had to go clear out your head.
While your trying to decide if you'll come back to me.
Why, why, why
Do we have to cry cry cry?
Tell me why this has to be,
Why don't you give into me?
Baby...all these shades of blue,
Where I wait for you.
Pray love reaches through,
All these shades, shades of blue.
Where you close your eyes,
Feel me by your side.
I will wait for you,
In all these shades of blue........
Why did you have to leave?
Why did you have to set me free?
Why did you have to go?
Why did you have to leave?
Why did you have to set me free?
Why did you have to go?
Baby...all these shades of blue,
Where I wait for you.
Pray love reaches through,
All these shades, shades of blue.
Where you close your eyes,
Feel me by your side.
I will wait for you,
In all these shades of blue........
