My favorite song (Umbrella)

Umbrella (song)

Umbrella is my favorite song because it is about friendship. Umbrella has a message very pretty about time shared with friends. In a friendship the most important thing is despite of the problems, difficulties, despite of the sadness and happiness. The true friend will always be with us in good and bad moments.

As the song says:

YOU HAD MY HEART.AND WELL NEVER BE WORLD APART.THEY BE IN MAGAZINES.BUT YOULL STILL BE MY STAR.BABY, CAUSE IN THE DARK.YOU CAN SEE SHINY CARS.AND THATS WHEN YOU NEED ME THERE.WITH YOU ILL ALWAYS SHARE.BECAUSE…WHEN THE SUN SHINES, WELL SHINE TOGETHER.TOLD YOU ILL BE HERE FOREVER.SAID ILL ALWAYS BE A FRIEND.TOOK AN OATH, IMA STICK IT OUT TILL THE END.NOW ITS RAINING MORE THAN EVER.KNOW THAT WELL STILL HAVE EACH OTHER.YOU CAN STAND UNDER MY UMBRELLA.

Umbrella (song)
"Umbrella" is a song by singer Rihanna. It was written by Terius "The Dream" Nash, Christopher Stewart, Kuk Harrell and Jay-Z for Rihanna's third album, Good Girl Gone Bad (2007). Featuring vocals by Jay-Z, it was released as the album's lead single during the second quarter of 2007.

It has, in the short time since its original release, been covered by other artists in one form or another. Following a highly successful chart run around the world and a positive reception from music critics, the song achieved number one on Entertainment Weekly magazine's list of the Ten Best Singles of 2007, as well as number three on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007; it was also named Song of the Year in Blender magazine's Readers' Poll 2007.

In 2008 "Umbrella" won a Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration in addition to receiving nominations for Record of the Year and Song of the Year

The music video for "Umbrella" was directed by Chris Applebaum on April 13, 2007. It premiered on April 26 at the thisisrihanna.com website. The video was released on May 11, and reached the number one spot for eight weeks.

The video features Jay-Z rapping in the beginning while in a rain of sparks. Rihanna is then shown singing in a steamy place. In the first chorus, Rihanna walks around en pointe while in the rain. In the second verse, she is seen dancing with an umbrella in a different place.

Later, she is painted silver and posing in several positions while nude. At the end of the video, Rihanna is again dancing with an umbrella while in a shower of sparks falling like rain.

"Umbrella" reached the number one spot in a number of countries. It topped the charts in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, Austria, Belgium, Norway and Switzerland at the same time. It peaked at the top spot in the United Kingdom for ten weeks in a row from May 20 to July 29, 2007. It was the longest running number one song since "Love Is All Around" by Wet Wet Wet in 1994 (that song spent 15 weeks). It was knocked off the number one spot in the UK by Timbaland's "The Way I Are".

The song's reign at number one in the UK happened when the country was hit by extreme rainfall and flooding, which led some people to jokingly suggest the two events were related, calling it the "Rihanna Curse". Interestingly in Greece (the single's worst performing market) "Umbrella" was released at a time when people were suffering through a summer of several heatwaves topping 45C/113F and the worst forest fires of modern history, killing 60.

The song only reached number fourteen in the Greek singles chart. "Umbrella" was at number one in the American Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks and in the Australian ARIA Charts for six weeks.
