More (Alison Moyet Song)
"More" is a song by English singer Alison Moyet, which was released in 2003 as the third and final single from her fifth studio album '' Hometime''. It was written by Moyet and Pete Glenister, and produced by Tim Norfolk and Bob Locke under the name The Insects. Like the two previous singles from ''Hometime'', the single failed to enter the UK Top 100, but did enter the Top 200, peaking at #127. Unlike the two previous singles, a promotional video was filmed for the single. The single's two B-Sides are "If You Don't Come Back To Me (Live)" and "Should I Feel That It's Over (Live)", which were both songs from ''Hometime'', recorded live in October 2002. The B-Sides were exclusive to the single. Critical reception In a review of ''Hometime'', Andy Stevens of the ''Press & Sun-Bulletin'' commented: "...still, ''Hometime'' is not devoid of sexiness, nor sass. Track 3 for example ("More") gives us a longing Moyet, smokily growling over lost love opportunities." Reviewing the 2016 d ...

"Almost Blue" is a song recorded by English group Elvis Costello and the Attractions from their sixth studio album, ''Imperial Bedroom'' (1982).

The song was covered by several performers, notably Chet Baker in 1987, Gwen Stefani in 1998, and by Costello's wife Diana Krall for her seventh studio album, '' The Girl in the Other Room'' (2004) ...

2003 Singles
3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious or cultural significance in many societies. Evolution of the Arabic digit The use of three lines to denote the number 3 occurred in many writing systems, including some (like Roman and Chinese numerals) that are still in use. That was also the original representation of 3 in the Brahmic (Indian) numerical notation, its earliest forms aligned vertically. However, during the Gupta Empire the sign was modified by the addition of a curve on each line. The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...

Songs Written By Alison Moyet
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers fo ...
