She was born in Dundalk, County Louth, Ireland, the youngest daughter of Jean and Gerry Corr, two musicians. She and her elder siblings, sisters Caroline (b. 1973) and Sharon Corr (b. 1970) and brother Jim (b. 1964), formed The Corrs to audition for the 1991 film The Commitments. Although all four appeared in the film, Andrea was the only one to be given a speaking part. But several years later, in another fleeting appearance in a major film, she was wanted strictly for a singing role - it was the musical Evita, in which she played Juan Peron's mistress, who is abruptly displaced by Madonna's title character. She stands 5'1" tall, making her the shortest of the four Corr siblings.
As the youngest member of the band, Andrea joined it directly from school, not having the chance to move into a flat of her own until the age of twenty-five. She has confessed to the distinctive habit of sucking her thumb for reassurance, and for recreation enjoys cooking, reading and going for walks. In addition, she is known to be doing live performances barefoot.
Andrea has recently finished recording her first solo album, titled Ten Feet High. The album is being produced by Nellee Hooper and is due out on the 28th of May 2007. Besides singing, she will also be playing the piano. The single track will be called Shame On You (To Keep My Love From Me) and we should hear it in the radio soon.
I Do
Andrea Corr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Black horses and shiny shoes.
An off white vintage lacy gown,
I've Juliets hand me downs.
But Romeo ain't my lover
And all that really matters is
I want a dream my mothers smile
Rains confetti from the sky
And dad's got a brand new poem to try,
He's sailing a lullaby.
And happily ever after
Is where I'm gonna live, 'cause
Hey I love you. Hey I love you, love you I do.
I do. I do. I do.
Hey I love you. Hey I love you. I love you I do.
The lyrics of Andrea Corrโs โI Doโ centers around the idea of a dream wedding and the joy of finding true love. The first verse expresses the singerโs desire for a grand entrance with an open chariot, black horses, and shiny shoes. She also mentions wanting to wear an off-white vintage lace gown that reminds her of Julietโs dress. However, she doesn't have Romeo as her lover. It may refer to the idea of wanting a fairytale wedding, but the most important thing is the love she shares with her partner.
The second verse describes the dream wedding as something that brings her family together, with her mother smiling and throwing confetti while her father recites a lullaby. The singer believes in happily ever after as the place where she will spend her life because she has found love that is true and everlasting. The chorus repeats the lines "Hey, I love you. Hey, I love you, love you I do." which reinforces the idea that true love is the foundation of her dream wedding.
