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.

Discography

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

My town---now and then

My town---now and then
ADANA from past to now…………

Adana is the most important city in the ancient Cilician region,and cradle of many civilisations from Hittities to Ottomans.The city is located by the river Seyhan.From the year 1352 to now,it has changed a lot.Here are some photos from recent Adana and modern Adana.




Adana Central Station is the central station of Adana and one of the major railway hubs in Turkey. The station is located at the Uğur Mumcu Square, steps to the Vilayet station of the metro. he first train station of Adana was built in 1886 at the Kuruköprü area in part of the 67 km (42 mi) railway line that connected Adana to Mersin. The station building is built in the First National Architectural Style. It is a 3-story structure covered with wide eaves triangular roof and has a U-plan in which the open area faces the square. There are administrative offices. The main hall, which is at the height of two floors, is interesting with its spacious environment.









AbidinPasha lived in Adana between 1880 and 1885 and he was governer in Adana .The famous artist Abidin Dino is his grandchild.He carried out a lot of works and buildings for Adana,so its name has been given to the most crowded street in Adana.This street is stil the busiest one in Adana.It is the centre of banks.








Adana is the cradle of cultures.That’s why a rich culture has been formed.The bazaars are very important in a civilazition life.The people used to get together,shop and share material things in bazaars in old days and it is stil same ,you can easily see people while they are shopping..







Küçüksaat is one of the most crowded place in Adana.It was very crowded 30-40 years ago and it is still very busy with its shopping buildings.






Although many of the old Adana houses were pulled down, some have stil been standing.Tepebağ is the oldest district ofAdana.The houses are the synthesis of general characteristics which can be seen in the plans of Turkish houses with the special characteristics of the Mediterranean Region





Taşköprü ( Stone Bridge) is a Roman bridge spanning the Seyhan River in Adana. Until 2007, it was the oldest bridge in the world to be open to motorized vehicles. It was then set for pedestrians only, now hosting social and cultural events. The bridge was built during Roman Empire by the architect Auxentius.D uring Sultan Abdülhamid's reign, restoration was done at the bridge by Governor Osman Paşa.
The length of the bridge in present is 310 m. The road on it, is paved with cobblestone, the width is 11.4 m including sidewalks. The ornaments on the bridge is the lion artwork on north side of the 11th arch and the star-crescent artwork. Evliya Çelebi notes that the apron is 550 feet long. 14 big arches and 5 small discharging arches remained to present, out of the 21 original arches. During the re-arrangement of the river banks, both sides were filled and the bridge was shortened when the tails of the bridge were left underground.








It was built by Adana governer Bahri Pasha in Kuruköprü 1901 .It was used until 1950 but at the beginning of 1950 it was destroyed because of transit roads constructions.In the year 1992, the architect Zeynep Çavuşoğlu designed and made the the new version of the fountain in Atatürk Park.










It is located on Ali Münif Street.The construction started in 1881 by Governer Ziya Pasha and upon his death it was completed by the governer Abidin Pasha 1882.Built of brick and 32 meters tall.It has a look of medieval watchtowers











Atatürk Park
