Out of all the bands that emerged in the immediate aftermath of punk rock in the late '70s, few were as enduring and popular as The Cure. Led through numerous incarnations by guitarist/vocalist Robert Smith (born April 21, 1959), the band became notorious for its slow, gloomy dirges and Smith's ghoulish appearance, a public image that often hid the diversity of the Cure's music. At the outset, the Cure played jagged, edgy pop songs before slowly evolving into a more textured outfit.

Borrowed Heaven is an album by The Corrs and it was produced by Olle Romo. The album was released 28 May 2004.
For this album Sharon Corr managed to write and play and make a significant contribution with songs such as 'Hideaway', 'Long Night', and 'Goodbye'.
The Corrs created a folkier, edgier, and more guitar oriented album than previous albums, notably their year 2000 album In Blue. This is because Jim Corr plays most of the guitars and keyboards.
Reviews for this album varied greatly. Fans of the band generally agree the album represents a return of sorts to the group's Celtic folk pop origins after the much 'poppier' In Blue released in 2000.
The band released three singles from this album: 'Summer Sunshine', 'Angel', and 'Long Night'. A remixed version of 'Goodbye' was released as a download-only single in 2006. Other notable tracks include the title track 'Borrowed Heaven' which featured an appearance from Ladysmith Black Mambazo, and 'Time Enough For Tears' which was penned by U2's Bono.
he album was a great success in their homeland Ireland where it peaked at number 1 with all three singles entering the Irish music charts. The album was greeted with success in western Europe, charting in nearly every country. Success in eastern Europe was varied from number 1 chart positions to not charting at all.- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
