Music contest from Lithuania

Hurts.



Hurts are a British synthpop duo from Manchester composed of singer Theo Hutchcraft, (From Richmond, North Yorkshire), and synth player Adam Anderson.
In July 2009, the band featured as "Band of the Day" on Guardian.co.uk. They finished in fourth position in BBC's Sound of 2010 poll. The band's song "Wonderful Life" was notably remixed by Arthur Baker. In early 2010 they officially released their debut single, "Better Than Love", and played their first ever live shows. The song "Illuminated" also was the soundtrack to Sky1 HD's advert to promote their best-watched seasonal programmes in High Definition (Bones, House, Fringe, Stargate Universe) in spring/summer 2010. Their debut album called Happiness was released on 6 September 2010. It contains a duet with Kylie Minogue entitled "Devotion".
To promote the release of their debut album, the band collaborated with author Joe Stretch to produce an interactive audio book narrated by Anna Friel. It is found on the online music player Spotify, with the first entry being found by searching for "a5m4". Before Hurts, singer Theo and synthesiser player Adam were previously in bands named Bureau, later to be renamed Daggers. In September 2010 it was announced their UK tour was sold out, and that Hurts would support Scissor Sisters on their UK tour later this year.

Wonderful life.

On a bridge across the Severn on a saturday night,

Susie meets the man of her dreams.

He says that he got in trouble and if she doesn't mind

He doesn't want the company

But there's something in the air

They share a look in silence and everything is understood

Susie grabs her man and puts a grip on his hand as the rain puts a tear in his eye.

SHE SAYS:

Don't let go

Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

Don't let goNever give up, it's such a wonderful life

Driving through the city to the temple station,

Cries into the leather seat

And Susie knows the baby was a family man,

But the world has got him down on his knees

So she throws him at the wall and kisses burn like fire,

And suddenly he starts to believe

He takes her in his arms and he doesn't know why,

But he thinks that he begins to see

SHE SAYS:

Don't let go

Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

Don't let go

Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

Don't let go

Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

Don't let go

Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

SHE SAYS:

Don't let go

Never give up

Don't let go

Never give up, it's such a wonderful lifewonderful life, wonderful life, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful lifewonderful life, wonderful life, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful life

Don't let go

Don't let go
