[Intro]
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
[Verse 1]
Find light in the beautiful sea
I choose to be happy
You and I, you and I
We're like diamonds in the sky
You're a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive
We're like diamonds in the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
I knew that we'd become one right away
Oh, right away
At first sight, I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
[Chorus]
So shine bright, tonight
You and I
We're beautiful, like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye
So alive
We're beautiful, like diamonds in the sky

We're beautiful, like diamonds in the sky
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

We're beautiful, like diamonds in the sky
[Verse 2]
Palms rise to the universe
As we moonshine and molly
Feel the warmth, we'll never die
We're like diamonds in the sky
You're a shooting star I see
A vision of ecstasy
When you hold me, I'm alive
We're like diamonds in the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays
I saw the life inside your eyes
[Chorus]
So shine bright, tonight
You and I
We're beautiful, like diamonds in the sky
Eye to eye
So alive
We're beautiful, like diamonds in the sky
[Post-Chorus]

[Outro]
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond

Oh-oh, yeah
Shine bright like a diamond

Meaning of the song :
It is more about two people coming together and becoming inseparable with the
help of "universe". And going beyond this life even after it ends here. "We are
beautiful like diamonds in the sky". Sia wrote the song and her songs always have
positive messages of resurrection and "second chances". This is more of a love
song of one helping the other come to life and happiness together.
Umbrella
Genre : R&B, Pop
[Intro: JAY-Z]
Uh-huh, uh-huh (Yeah, Rihanna)
Uh-huh, uh-huh (Good Girl Gone Bad)
Uh-huh, uh-huh (Take three, action)
Uh-huh, uh-huh (Hov)
[Verse 1: JAY-Z]
No clouds in my stones
Let it rain, I hydroplane in the bank
Coming down with the Dow Jones
When the clouds come, we gone, we Roc-A-Fella
We fly higher than weather, in G5's or better
You know me (You know me)
In anticipation for precipitation, stack chips for the rainy day
Jay—Rain Man is back
With Little Miss Sunshine, Rihanna, where you at?
[Verse 2: Rihanna]
You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
Maybe in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby, ‘cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you, I'll always share
Because
[Chorus: Rihanna]
When the Sun shine, we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh-eh
[Verse 3: Rihanna]
These fancy things
Will never come in between
You're part of my entity
Here for infinity
When the war has took its part
When the world has dealt its cards
If the hand is hard
Together we'll mend your heart
Because
[Chorus: Rihanna]
When the Sun shine, we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh-eh
[Bridge: Rihanna]
You can run into my arms
It's okay, don't be alarmed
Come into me
There's no distance in between our love
So gon' and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because
[Chorus: Rihanna]
When the Sun shine, we shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath, I'ma stick it out to the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh
Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh-eh
[Outro: Rihanna]
It's rainin', rainin'
Ooh, baby, it's rainin', rainin'
Baby, come here to me
Come into me
It's rainin', rainin'
Ooh, baby, it's rainin', rainin'
You can always come into me
Come into me
It's pourin' rain
It's pourin' rain
Come here to me
Come into me
It's pourin' rain
It's pourin' rain
Come here to me
Meaning of the song :
It's about a friendship between two people that love each other and it's basically a
"i have your back and you got mine" sort of thing, but if we look at it as a
relationship song because of the beginning where she mentions "you had my
heart" it can also mean being with your lover till the end.
Take a bow
Genre : Pop, Soul
[Intro]
Oh, how about a round of applause?
Yeah, a standing ovation
Oh wow, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
You look so dumb right now
Standing outside my house
Trying to apologize
You're so ugly when you cry
Please, just cut it out
[Pre-Chorus]
And don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not
Baby, when I know you're only sorry you got caught
[Chorus]
But you put on quite a show (Uh-oh)
Really had me going
But now it's time to go (Uh-oh)
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show (Uh-oh)
Very entertaining
But it's over now (But it's over now)
Go on and take a bow
[Verse 2]
Grab your clothes and get gone (Get gone)
You better hurry up
Before the sprinklers come on (Come on)
Talking' bout' "Girl, I love you, you're the one"
This just looks like the re-run
Please, what else is on? (Oh-oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
And don't tell me you're sorry 'cause you're not
Baby, when I know you're only sorry you got caught
[Chorus]
But you put on quite a show (Uh-oh)
Really had me going
But now it's time to go (Uh-oh)
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show (Uh-oh)
Very entertaining
But it's over now (But it's over now)
Go on and take a bow
[Bridge]
Oh, and the award for the best liar goes to you (Goes to you)
For making me believe
That you could be faithful to me
Let's hear your speech, oh
How 'bout a round of applause?
A standing ovation
[Chorus]
But you put on quite a show (Uh-oh)
Really had me going
Now it's time to go (Uh-oh)
Curtain's finally closing
That was quite a show (Uh-oh)
Very entertaining
But it's over now (But it's over now)
Go on and take a bow
But it's over now
Meanin of the song :
The bow comes at the end of a play. Here, "take a bow" means it is the end of a
relationship. And, yes, she means both people pretended acted like they were in
love some of the time. Maybe they started really loving each other. But over time,
it got old. They began to act like things were the same. But they can't act
anymore. "The show is over." The relationship can't go on this way. Both know
the truth. It's time to stop pretending and just "Say goodbye."

Meaning of the song :
The song is about her lover and how she will love him and how she would like
him to love her back. One of he lines is say that she will never neglect him even
he does something to deserve it and another says that don't leave her alone when
she needs him the most! All in all this song speaks to me in a positive way
towards relationships like that one that she's in.
LOVE ON THE BRAIN
Genre : Pop
[Verse 1]
And you got me like, "Oh, what you want from me?"
(What you want from me?)
And I tried to buy your pretty heart, but the price too high
Baby you got me like "Oh"
You love when I fall apart (fall apart)
So you can put me together and throw me against the wall
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby you got me like i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-hiii, woo i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-hiii
Don't you stop loving me (loving me)
Don't quit loving me (loving me)
Just start loving me (loving me)
Owwwwww
[Chorus]
And babe I’m fist-fighting with fire
Just to get close to you
Can we burn something babe
And I run for miles just to get a taste
Must be love on the brain
That’s got me feeling this way
It beats me black and blue but it fucks me so good
And I can’t get enough
Must be love on the brain yeah
And it keeps cursing my name
No matter what I do
I’m no good without you
And I can’t get enough
Must be love on the..... brain
[Verse 2]
Baby keep loving me
Just love me
Yeah, just love me
All you need to do is love me, yeah
Got me like, ah-ha-ha-owww
I’m tired of being played like a violin
What do I gotta do to get in your motherfuckin’ heart?
Baby like i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-hiii, woo i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-hiii
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby you got me like i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-hiii, woo i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-hiii
Don't you stop loving me (loving me)
Don't quit loving me (loving me)
Just start loving me (loving me)
Ooooooohhh
[Chorus]
And babe I’m fist-fighting with fire
Just to get close to you
Can we burn something babe
And I run for miles just to get a taste
Must be love on the brain
That’s got me feeling this way
It beats me black and blue but it fucks me so good
And I can’t get enough
Must be love on the brain yeah
And it keeps cursing my name
No matter what I do
I’m no good without you
And I can’t get enough
Must be love on the.... brain
Meaning of the song :
In my opinion this song is about on-sided love, that hurts the narrator because the
other person only uses their feelings and plays with them ("I'm tired of being
played like a violin".) The narrator is head-over-heels for the other one. They put
so much effort into this relationship ("And I tried to buy your pretty heart/ but the
price too high") and are left with nothing else to give ("What do you want from
me?") as the other has treated them in such a bad way ("So you can put me
together/ And throw me against the wall") and has exhausted them emotionally.
Biography
Robyn Rihanna Fenty or commonly known as Rihanna is a singer born in Saint
Michael, Barbados, February 20, 1988. Her father, Ronald Fenty, worked as
warehouse head and her mother Monica Fenty was an accountant. As for Rihanna
is the first child of three siblings. He has two younger brothers named Rorrey and
Rajad Fenty.
Rihanna's love for singing had started since she was little. Growing up in
adolescence, Rihanna, who attended the Charles F. Broome Memorial School,
formed a trio music group with two of her friends. Shortly thereafter, a friend
introduced Rihanna and her two group members to the producer of the single
NSYNC, "God Must Have Spent A Little More Time on You", Evan Rogers. The
group was then audited by Evan. When auditing them, Evan claimed that only
Rihann was the one who attracted his interest. While the other two friends,
Rihanna, seemed to have nothing to share with Evan.
The next few years, Rihanna and her mother visited Evan's house in Stamford,
Connecticut. After visiting, Rihanna established herself to move to the United
States and lived in Evan's house and his wife to pursue his career as a singer. Not
only Evan helped Rihanna, at the time, Evan's partner, Carl Sturken, also helped
work on four Rihanna song demos including, "Last Time" and the single which
later became a hit, "Pon de Replay".
The cultivation of the song demo requires more than a year, considering that
Rihanna was still in school at that time. In addition, he is also only allowed to do
recordings during summer holidays or Christmas holidays. After the song demo
was finished recording and circulated to several leading record labels, the song
demo finally succeeded in attracting the label recording Def Jam Recordings.
Rihanna then signed a contract as one of the singers who took shelter in the record
label which is now part of the Universal Music Group.
Three months later, Rihanna managed to release her first debut album, "Music of
the Sun" (2005). The album 'R' n 'B which features dance pop music, reggae pop
and Caribbean music was a success and sold around 69,000 copies in the first
week. In addition, a number of singles in the album, such as "Umbrella" and "Pon
de Replay" were ranked first on the international charts.
Rihanna's success certainly did not stop there. The 22-year-old actress has
released a number of singles that have become hits including "Russian Roulette"
and "Rude Boy". His name skyrocketed when Rihanna won the 2008 Grammy for
the category Best Rap / Sung Collaboration through a single she brought with
rapper Jay-Z, "Umbrella". In 2010, he even won two Grammy awards for the
category of Best Rap / Sung Collaboration and Best Rap Song through a single he
brought along with Jay-Z and Kanye West, "Run This Town".
Currently, Rihanna is busy holding a tour around Europe, "Last Girl on Earth".
The concert, which began in Belgium in April, will end in Madrid, Spain on June
5. After holding a concert in Europe, Rihanna plans to work on a new album.
According to the news, he will collaborate with around 50 producers for his fifth
album. Also involved in the cultivation of the album, namely Timbaland, Taio
Cruz, Rico Love, Ne-Yo, Sean Garrett, and David Guetta. Reportedly Rihanna
will increasingly emphasize her sexy figure through her new album.
In his works, Rihanna has been inspired by many of his senior idol singers, such
as Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey and Beyonce Knowles. It appears not only from
the style of singing but from the side of his appearance which always looks sexy
and full of energy. One of Rihanna's sexy appearances appears in the music video
for the single "Hard". In the music video, Rihanna appeared in a macho style clad
in a sexy costume with spiked accessories while holding a weapon. Her sexy
appearance can also be witnessed when Rihanna held a concert tour "Last Girl on
Earth" in Zurich, last April. At the concert Rihanna used a tight skin-colored
costume with white mesh accessories. Robyn Rihanna Fenty or commonly known
