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.

I Need A Man
Amanda Lear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her silent mystery
Now I’m going to leave
Cause nobody really cared
And nobody really shared
I need silence
Silence
Cause nobody really cared
And nobody really shared
I need silence
I really miss you
I really need you
But everywhere I look
How would you like to be myself
Without your face in my mind ?
I need silence
Silence
A real silence
Cause nobody really cared
And nobody really shared
I need silence
It is really hard to care
Really hard to take care
For a desperate SOS
Anyway, you left
Anyway, I felt
I need silence
Silence
A real silence
Cause nobody really cared
And nobody really shared
I need silence
Such, such, such a noisy town
Such a noisy town
Just an unpleasant crowd
And I would you like I be myself
With all those faces in my head
I need silence
Silence
Gimme silence
Cause nobody really cared
And Nobody really shared
I need silence
The lyrics of Amanda Lear's song "I Need Silence" express a desire for peace and solitude amid a world that feels chaotic and frustrating. The song opens with the singer acknowledging the quiet mystery of the coming night and admitting that they are ready to leave because no one seems to care or share their feelings. The chorus repeats the phrase "I need silence" like a mantra, emphasizing the importance of finding a space free of distractions where the singer can be alone with their thoughts.
The next verse brings in a more personal element, as the singer confesses that they miss someone and need them but cannot escape the constant barrage of reminders of the person's absence. They plead to be able to "be myself / without your face in my mind," further emphasizing the idea that silence is necessary for healing and moving on. The final verse acknowledges the difficulty of caring for oneself amid the chaos of the world, using the metaphor of a desperate SOS to convey the urgency of the situation. The chorus once again emphasizes the singer's need for silence as a source of comfort and clarity.
Overall, the lyrics of "I Need Silence" offer a poignant and relatable reflection on the importance of finding stillness in a world that can feel overwhelming and disconnected. The song's simple yet powerful chorus serves as a reminder of the value of introspection and self-care, even in the face of external pressures and distractions.

Night is coming to give
The night brings a silent mystery

It is really hard to care
I find it difficult to care for myself or anyone else
Really hard to take care
I struggle to provide for my own needs and well-being
For a desperate SOS
I am in dire need of help and support
Anyway, you left
Despite this, you have left me alone to cope with my struggles
Anyway, I felt
Regardless, I am experiencing deep emotions and pain
Such, such, such a noisy town
This town is incredibly loud and chaotic
Such a noisy town
It feels overwhelming and exhausting to me
Just an unpleasant crowd
The people around me are unpleasant and unsupportive
And I would you like I be myself
I wish to be alone and disconnected from everyone else
With all those faces in my head
I can't stop thinking about everyone and everything around me
Gimme silence
Please give me the gift of true silence
Nobody really cared
No one truly cared for me or understood me
And Nobody really shared
No one shared my joys, hopes or fears
I need silence
I yearn for true peace and tranquillity

Were you born stupid or is it something you took up as a hobby she's not a transvestite and if she was there's no reason to not love her music anyway so go lie down until you feel better put a cold cloth on your head and everything will be alright in the morning
