The group consists of the Corr siblings: Andrea (lead vocals, tin whistle); Sharon (violin, vocals); Caroline (drums, piano, bodhrán, vocals); and Jim (guitar, piano, vocals).
The Corrs have released five studio albums and numerous singles, which have reached platinum in many countries. Talk on Corners, their most successful album to date, reached multi-platinum status in Australia, and in the UK was the highest selling album of 1998. The band are only the second group in history to hold the number 1 and number 2 album positions simultaneously in the UK charts with Talk On Corners at number 1 and Forgiven Not Forgotten at number 2. The first group to achieve this accolade was The Beatles. Forgiven Not Forgotten was the second highest selling album in Australia in 1996, behind Alanis Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill. Their third studio album, In Blue went to number 1 in 17 countries.
Early Story
The Corrs' parents are Gerry Corr, a manager of the payroll department of the Irish Electricity Supply Board, and his wife, Jean, a housewife, who died in 1999 while waiting for a lung transplant. They raised their family in Dundalk, Ireland. The Corrs' paternal uncle, Peter Corr, was a professional footballer who played for Ireland and several clubs including Everton. Gerry and Jean performed together as a band called Sound Affair, and often brought their children to their performances,where they played songs by ABBA and the Eagles in local pubs.
With the encouragement of their parents, Jim took guitar lessons and
Sharon played the violin. Caroline did not learn to play the drums until
she was 17 and was helped by a boyfriend at the time and Andrea did not
take up the tin whistle until she was 19. They were all taught the piano by their father.
Throughout their teenage years the children practised in Jim's bedroom
at a rented house. Andrea sang lead vocals, Sharon played the violin,
and Caroline and Jim played the keyboards. Read more about The Corr here.
The Corrs - Only in My Sleep lyrics
"Only When I Sleep"
You're only just a dreamboat
Sailing in my head
You swim my secret oceans
Of coral blue and red
Your smell is incense burning
Your touch is silken yet
It reaches through my skin
And moving from within
It clutches at my breast
But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
You got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But I only hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But its only when I sleep
And when I wake from slumber
Your shadow's disappear
Your breath is just a sea mist
Surrounding my body
I'm workin' through the daytime
But when it's time to rest
I'm lying in my bed
Listening to my breath
Falling from the edge
But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams, (dreams)
You got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But I only hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep, (in my sleep)
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But its only when I sleep
It's only when I sleep
[Sharon & Andrea solo]
Up to the sky
Where angels fly
I'll never die
Hawaiian High
In bed I lie
No need to cry
My sleeping cry
Hawaiian High
It's reaching through my skin
Movin' from within
And clutches at my breasts...
But it's only when I sleep...
See you in my dreams, (dreams)
You got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But I only hear you breathe
In bed I lie
No need to cry
My sleeping cry
Hawaiian High
But it's only when I sleep... aaaaaaa....
Got me spinning round and round
(Turning upside-down)
Up to the sky
Where angels fly
I'll never die
Hawaiian High
But it's only when I sleep... Thank Azlyrics
