"Under the Sun" is a song recorded by English singer Cheryl Cole, from her third studio album A Million Lights (2012). The song was released as the second and final single from A Million Lights on 2 September 2012 through Polydor Records. It was written and produced by Alex da Kid, with additional writing from Mike Del Rio, Jayson DeZuzio, Steven Battey, Carlos Battey, and Cole. Lyrically, it speaks of a male telling a female anything she wants to hear to get his way. "Under the Sun" is a mid-tempo song, piano riffs, sun-kissed breakbeats, and a pop chorus.
The song received a positive reaction from most music critics, with most of them, calling it a summery, carefree and enjoyable song. Some critics cited the Chemical Brothers, Natasha Bedingfield, and Lily Allen as references. "Under the Sun" fared commercially well where it debuted on the UK Singles Chart at number 57, climbing to number 13. "Under the Sun", is Cole's second single to date that has not entered the top five. "Under the Sun" also peaked at number 16 in Ireland.
Under the Sun is the second album by Australian rock group Paul Kelly & The Coloured Girls and was originally released in December 1987 by Mushroom Records. In the North American and European markets, it was released by A&M Records in 1988 with the band credited as Paul Kelly & The Messengers, with a different track order and listing.
On the Australian albums charts it peaked at #19 with the single "To Her Door" peaking at #14. Another single, "Dumb Things" peaked at #36 in early 1989, on the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) singles charts; it reached #16 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart. The song was included in the soundtrack for the 1988 Yahoo Serious film Young Einstein.
"To Her Door" won an ARIA Award in 1988 for 'Best Video' directed by Claudia Castle. In 2001, the Australasian Performing Rights Association (APRA) listed the Top 30 Australian songs of all time, including "To Her Door" written by Kelly.
After relocating from Melbourne to Sydney in 1985, Paul Kelly began to play and record with a full-time band, which included Michael Armiger on bass guitar, Michael Barclay on drums, Steve Connolly on guitar, eventually bassist Jon Schofield, and keyboardist Peter Bull joined. Through a joke based on Lou Reed's song "Walk on the Wild Side", the band became known as Paul Kelly and the Coloured Girls. In September 1986 the band released their debut double LP Gossip. Due to possible racist connotations the band changed its name, for international releases, to Paul Kelly and the Messengers. They made an American tour, initially supporting Crowded House and then head-lining, travelling across the United States by bus. Jon Schofield replaced Armiger on bass guitar, Chris Coyne on tenor saxophone and Chris Wilson on harmonica
A Sun outage, Sun transit or Sun fade is an interruption in or distortion of geostationary satellite signals caused by interference from solar radiation. The effect is due to the Sun's radiation overwhelming the satellite signal.
In the northern hemisphere, sun outages occur before the March equinox (February, March) and after the September equinox (September and October), and in the southern hemisphere the outages occur after the March equinox and before the September equinox. At these times, the apparent path of the Sun across the sky takes it directly behind the line of sight between an Earth station and a satellite. The Sun radiates strongly across the entire spectrum, including the microwave frequencies used to communicate with satellites (C-band, Ku band, and Ka band), so the Sun swamps the signal from the satellite. The effects of a Sun outage range from partial degradation (increase in the error rate) to total destruction of the signal. The effect sweeps from north to south from approximately 20 February to 20 April, and from south to north from approximately 20 August to 20 October, affecting any specific location for less than 12 minutes a day for a few consecutive days.
Dematerializing, the dose that you take
To just forget your own name
Fizzle out your worth
Believing that you just should not exist
Look in from the outside
Maybe you'll see
You were worth it to me
(Worth it to me)
Don't just stay here
Lying awake in the fade
When everything could be better
Your life is defined by the choices you make
The viewpoints you take
Demolecularizing, the poison you take
Extracted from your tears
Never flying, Always dying
Letting them clip your wings with your fears
Look in from the outside
Maybe you'll see
You were worth it to me
(Worth it to me)
Don't just stay here
Lying awake in the fade
When everything could be better
Your life is defined by the choices you make
The viewpoints you take
Rise above, Rise above
The place where they want you
You're too damn important to me
Rise above, Rise above
The place where they want you
You're too damn important to me
Don't just stay here
Lying awake in the fade
When everything could be better
Your life is defined by the choices you make
The viewpoints you take
