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.

Follow Me
Amanda Lear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm moving on
And from now on
Address unknown
I should I be difficult to find
So follow me
Just follow me.
I'm trading hope
I'm opened
I am the night
I am your fate
So follow me
Just follow me.
Faust was right
Have no regret
Gimme your soul
I'll give you life
And all the things you want to get
So follow me
Just follow me.
I'll give you wings
I'll sell you fame
Merry-go-round
Maybe to hell
I am the key to your problem
So follow me
Just follow me.
Unbelievable maybe
You'll have a new identity
For a second of vanity
I want to change your destiny
Unbelievable maybe
Follow me
Follow me
I'll give you anything you want
Your wish is my command
If you agree to follow me.
The lyrics to Amanda Lear's "Follow Me" tell a story of a mysterious figure offering the listener a new identity and an escape from their current life. The singer is leaving and starting over, with no clear destination in mind. The message is clear: follow me, and I'll give you everything you want. The song's theme is a warning against blindly following the desires of another person without considering the consequences.
The first verse reveals the singer's intention to start anew and remain anonymous. They're eager to create a clean break and leave their past behind. However, they're not content with simply starting over; they want to bring others with them. The second verse is a call to action, urging the listener to follow them and experience a new existence, promising them everything they desire.
The chorus is a plea for the listener to buy into the singer's promises. The lyrics suggest that they'll offer everything the listener desires, from new identities to fame, but warns that something sinister may be waiting for them in the end. The lines "maybe to hell/I am the key to your problem" hint at a warning, a caution that merely following the singer will lead the listener down a dark path.
Overall, the song highlights the dangerous power of persuasion, and that sometimes, the offer may seem too good to be true. The lyrics point out what can happen when we blindly follow others and don't think through the possible consequences.
