Umbrella lyrics

[Jay-Z]
Ahuh Ahuh (Yea Rihanna)
Ahuh Ahuh (Good girl gone bad)
Ahuh Ahuh (Take three... Action)
Ahuh Ahuh

No clouds in my storms
Let it rain, I hydroplane in the bank
Coming down with the Dow Jones
When the clouds come we gone, we Rocafella
She fly higher than weather
And G5’s are better, You know me,
an anticipation, for precipitation. Stacked chips for the rainy day
Jay, Rain Man is back with little Ms. Sunshine
Rihanna where you at?

[Rihanna]
You have my heart
And we'll never be worlds apart
May be in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

These fancy things, will never come in between
You're part of my entity, here for Infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard, together we'll mend your heart
Because

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

You can run into my arms
It's okay don't be alarmed
Come into me
There's no distance in between our love
So go on and let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
Because

[Chorus]
When the sun shines, we’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)

It's raining
Ooh baby it's raining
Baby come into me
Come into me
It's raining
Oh baby it's raining


:laughing: Your gayness knows no shame.

This song has nothing.
Heroin is addictive.
It's lyrically retarded.
It's one of the worst pop songs I've heard in my entire life.

Never before have I had the uncontrollable urge to throw heavy objects at the works radio.

David is right, grow some balls Marijan!

Seriously...I mean, what's next Marijan?
You'll be telling me, 'It's Raining Men' by The Weather Girls is ...awesome?!

No...it's FABULOUS!!

You guys suck. I mean the bitch clearly blows Beyonce and Christina and ESPECIALLY that cunt Fergie OUT OF THA FUCKIN' WATER...It ain't my fault you're tone deaf...>.>

OT: OMG, Don't stop the music is tha fuckin' bombbbb...*dances in ALL his gay glory**smug*

Surely, you jest!

My mobile phone's standard ring tones have more musical content.

Talk to the hand cos the face won't listen!*snaps fingers*

No Marijan its.


TALK TO THE HAND CAUSE THE FACE DONT GIVE A DAMN

/snaps in Z formation, sticks hand up and turns head away with a HMPH

:laughing:..... *rehearses move*

hell...marijan..i love it too :D

its so damn catchy

and shes fiiiiine ;)

Werd Mathias, I always knew you had good taste...these suckas are just jealous....*hugs* :)

Ethan totally digs Don't stop the music...:yeah:

I gotta say, it's a pretty solid (mainstream) pop/dance album...I quite like this girl...O.o...:D

Yeah that song is really dancey and good not gonna lie. I actually would love Umbrella if it didn't feature fucking Jay-Z.

Rihanna's music sucks, but she has some nice.....assets.

Why does it "suck"? What pop artists do you listen to and would suggest as a much better alternative to Rihanna?

Okay it sucks because the music part of it isn't really different from the rest of those pop artists like Beyonce, Christina Millan, etc. Lyrically I get tired of pop artists explain their love because they, most of the time, either have to talk about:

A. Breaking up
B. Thinking about that person
C. How good that person looks
D. First time they saw them

Pop artists tell you what you want the modern public wants to hear. That way they can bring in the big bucks.

I suggest the Rihanna quit the whole bussiness because she doesn't really do anything good. Maybe she could go neo-classical or something, but I would doubt that. If she had a better voice I would suggest her to join a band, but I don't think they would accept her.

As a alternative to Rihanna well it really depends what the listener likes about her, which I don't really know right now. You would have to tell me what you like about her music.

Do you listen to pop music?

I used to and I still listen to some, but I don't enjoy it.

So what exactly makes you think you're qualified to make any sort of judgment regarding an artist whose genre you don't appreciate?

Lyrically, I get tired of death metal bands singing about Satan.

As opposed to metal bands that don't cater to teenagers with angst issues?

Again, you feel qualified to spout bullshit on what basis? Do you see me commenting on your favorite metal bands? Take my queue and stay away from topics you know nothing about.

Admit it...Not only are the lyrics stupid(That's already been adressed), but her voice is incredibly immature. Um-br-ell-a, when it's actually um-brell-a. I like the beat and meolody but beyond that...

Ok, then give me a lyrically more challenging and vocally superior contemporary mainstream pop alternative.
I love her voice, I think it's fresh and cool, and she appears to be aware of her vocal boundaries, unlike Beyonce that thinks she's the new Aretha Franklin, she doesn't pull any vocal-masturbating stunts that make her sound like a cat being strangled.

When there’s sunshine, we’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella

Those lyrics aren't that bad, and yes i'm much more qualified to judge lyrics than you.

plus, she doesnt need to have good songwriting or vocals

shes hawt >.<

First of all I appreciate every genre, even pop. I really only like the original pop artists though because the rest are nothing, but crap.

Second of all death metal does not always talk about satan. In fact a lot of them don't talk about satan. I can get so many people to back me up on this that it isn't even funny. That stereotype of death metal is used so much even though it even lacks fact to back it up. I don't quite understand.



Not really the metal I listen to. And everyone should stop using metal as a term because it is so general. I mean why should Avant-Garde Metal and Thrash Metal be considered similar enough to say that they are practically the same thing?

Start commenting on my favorite bands because I don't care as long as you back it up with good reasoning and not go off on some rant about how anyone can do a good death grunt because they can't. And how can I not know something about pop when I am bombarded with it every day?

Why do we have to pick a mainstream artist?

Then it shouldn't be too difficult for you to name a few better alternatives to Rihanna.
I was merely using the same kind of stereotyping you used previously:
to demonstrate just how retarded your argument was. Obviously, not all pop songs are about love, in fact, the song in question is (if I'm not mistaken) about friendship...


You mean like when you discard all contemporary pop based on snobby generalizations and prejudice? Hypocritical much? Because you stated you don't enjoy the genre, call me stupid, but that doesn't exactly make you qualified to judge artists belonging to this specific genre...just like I'm not qualified to utter crap about jazz, or METAL.


Because I know a good number of indie alternatives to mainstream pop, but that's not the topic of this discussion.

What exactly makes you more qualified to judge lyrics than me? Anyway, I just find the Umbrella analogy to just be incredibly stupid. She never even says what exactly she's protecting Jay-Z from with this Umbrella of hers! To Adidass I said her voice was immature not bad, and what else does pop sing about besides love? that's the whole point of the genre! It may be a stereotype but it's true.

Don't Stop The Music
 

Apparently "Don't Stop The Music" is Rihannas new song?

The best song of the year so far!!!

No it's not. what about the other obvious pop topics: A sunny day, a good time, a party, the list goes on and on.

And what do those topics inevitably lead to...Anyway the topic is mainstream pop.

Ummm...they lead to the end of a song about a sunny day? And yes, the topic is mainstream pop. How insightful of you.

i was being moderately sarcastic...How much mainstream pop do you hear not talking about love?

Oh I hear ya, I was just pointing out that it's not all (though there is a whole lot) about love. and I don't like rihanna either, I think she makes crappy music.

Yah pop in general can be about virtually anything but mainstream pop is pure love ditties these days...

i think her overall image is better now and the cd reflects her style change, imo. i think she's coming into her own as an artist.

is it? i have been hearing "shut up and drive" on my local radio stations. i like both songs, though, so I don't mind. ^_^

Sorry im in Australia, Shut up and Drive for the North ???

Yep in America it's "Shut up and drive" at least from what I've heard. it's a great album, though, so it's all good. ^_^

Good Lord, I could go on like this forever. What constitutes crappy music? I'm fine with you saying you don't like her, but to follow that with that kind of statement is a bit ludicrous seeing as how the woman is topping the pop charts and probably will be doing that a lot this summer. Obviously, if the album was crap it wouldn't have been as successful (this isn't Britney Spears, who can at this point put out complete shit and still have it sell a couple of million). I'm gonna just assume you're not a fan of mainstream pop (you too cool fer school!) and leave it at that.
