She studied art in Paris and in the 60s moved to London. During this period she got to know the most prominent designers, musicians and artists belonging to the artistic circles she frequented. Her preferences were predominantly for the Surrealist movement and for bodily expression, since she has also studied the art of mime. The meeting with Dali changed her life.
In the following 15 years she became the only woman friend, the muse and confidant of the great artist and his wife Gala. She lived in their house in Cadaquès (Spain) and accompanied them when they moved to New York and Paris in the winter. Although he had declared that a woman should never paint, Dali became her mentor, allowing her to work alongside him and teaching her all she knows about art and its techniques.
He took her to visit all the great museums of the world, acting as her guide in the discovery of artists from his own highly individual point of view. Famous throughout the world as a pop singer, she soared to celebrity when her first song entered the international hit parades, but this not lead her to neglect the passion of her life: painting.
In 1975, disillusioned by a shallow but surprisingly conservative fashion industry and encouraged by boyfriend David Bowie, who paid for singing and dancing lessons, Lear decided to launch a career in music. Bowie recommended her a Hungarian voice coach Florence Wiese-Norberg, with whom he also worked.[16] She would record a demo song called "Stars" with him, however, the track still remains unreleased
In 1980 she had her first show in Rotterdam. Encouraged by the success of this and the publicity generated by the media, she went on to display in Paris, Berlin, Milan and Geneva, attracting the attention of the European collectors. She likes to recall the fact that she waited 20 years before having the chance to show her paintings and she is grateful to Dali for having been her friend and teacher. Pop icon Amanda Lear has recorded 15 studio albums and has released some 60 singles to date and has so far sold approximately 15 million albums and 25-30 million singles worldwide.
2012 saw the release of a new album "I Don't Like Disco", from which a few single were taken including La bete et la belle and I Don't Like Disco.

Blood And Honey
Amanda Lear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See the shadow walking in the dark
Here she comes
She's all in black
Long hair flowing down her back
Gotta get her out of my mind.
Honey
Honey
Give me your head
Honey
I want to kiss you
Baby
Let me waste away upon your tender lips
Oh
She loves blood and honey
She's got the devil in her eyes
(She's got the devil in her eyes)
She loves blood and honey
They say nobody survives a deadly kiss
Oh
She loves blood and honey
She's got the devil in her eyes
(She's got the devil in her eyes)
She loves blood and honey
Devil is her love and it's the kiss of death to love he
Now she's lonely walking down your street
She's looking for a bite to eat
When she loves she really leaves her mark
Pain in her eyes and death in her smile:
It'sSa one-way-trip to hell!
Give in to desire and she'll put your soul on fire
Velvety eyes and pearly skin
When she'll knock at your door
Your night will begin
Oh
I want to kiss you
Baby
I want to honey
I want to kiss you
Baby
Got to kill the lady who loves blood and honey.
Oh
Sheloves blood and honey
She loves blood and honey
Honey
I want to kiss you
Honey
Give me your head
Oh
She loves blooa and honey
The Amanda Lear's Blood and Honey is a dramatic and the vivid portrayal of a mysterious woman who loves the thrill of danger and adrenaline; a woman with a dangerous and destructive appetite, and an insatiable desire for blood and honey. In the first stanza, the lyrics depict a dark and eerie atmosphere of midnight in the city, with the singer walking alone in the shadows. This woman is all in black, with long hair flowing down her back. The singer is unable to get her out of his mind as the woman he desires is also dangerous.
In the second stanza, the lyrics start with a repetition of the first stanza, emphasizing the woman's love for blood and honey, and how she's got the devil in her eyes. The following two lines are particularly intriguing because they say that "nobody survives a deadly kiss," which implies that the singer of the song is also in danger. Finally, the lyrics end with the singer contemplating killing this woman to break free from her alluring yet dangerous grasp.
Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a femme fatale who is both alluring and dangerous, willing to do anything to satisfy her thirst for blood and honey. This song creates a sense of danger and unease, which is also reflected in its dark and gothic sound.
