1)Shangri La is a Croatian rock band made in 2006. Altough they had several changes in their lineup, they are soon to record their first album on an indie label.
The recent lineup is as follows:
Lara - vocals
Jura - rythm guitar

2) Shangri La is one of the most promising Bulgarian rock bands nowadays. It was originally created in 1992 (their name was "Sad Toy Killer") but in 2000, after the main vocalist moved to London, they decided to change the name of the band and start over. Inspired by the legend of heaven existing on earth, as described in the book "The Lost Horizon" (by James Hilton) they decide on the name "Shangri La".
The single "Iskah da te imam" rolled exclusively on "BG Radio" in June 2001 and within the following two months became one of the most aired songs on the radio. It entered the "Our 20" chart and stayed there for 10 whole weeks, two of which in the #1 spot. The band also won the prize "Discovery of BG Radio 2002" - the only category that the radio crew indulged to create and award based entirely on their own judgment and specifically for Shangri La.
The band's second single - "Kakto nikoga predi" has been on Bulgarian radios for two months now. It's premiere was in BNT's (Bulgarian National Television's) show - "Vsyaka nedelya". The clip is with an exceptionally atractive vision, including unique underwater shots and the band playing in the burned Theater of Youth. The video was done by the following crew: director Nickolay Penchev (well known for his work on the attractive basketball clip "Horata ot getoto"), cameraman Ivo Iliev, and the master of underwater shots Stefan Todorov.
In the meantime Shangri La were chosen to participate in the prestigious Romanian festival "The Golden Deer" in the resort town of Brashov. There, alongside 16 more performers from across the globe, including Scorpions, t.A.T.u. and The Kelly Family, they formed the face of this year's musical event in front of over 10 000 people live audience and over 30 million TV viewers.

Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
In violent times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white
They really really ought to know
Those one track minds
That took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to shout for joy
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
They gave you life
And in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind
I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to break your heart
Shout
Shout
Let it all out
These are the things I can do without
Come on
I'm talking to you
Come on
"Shout" by The Shangri-La's is a song that speaks about the anger and frustration of youth. The song begins with the repetition of the titular word "shout" and a call to "let it all out". The lyrics talk about things in life that can be done without, such as selling one's soul and jumping for joy. The singer talks about the pressure put upon her by "one track minds" that took her for a "working boy" and how she shouldn't have to shout for joy. The second verse speaks about the coldness of the world, and how it gave life, but in return, life has given them hell - hence the line, "they gave you life, and in return, you gave them hell."
Line by Line Meaning
Shout
Express yourself loudly and forcefully
Shout
Repeat previous statement
Let it all out
Don't hold back your feelings
These are the things I can do without
I don't need these things in my life
Come on
Encouraging someone to take action
I'm talking to you
Directing the message to a specific person
In violent times
During periods of upheaval and conflict
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
You shouldn't have to compromise your integrity
In black and white
In clear and certain terms
They really really ought to know
They should already understand this
Those one track minds
People with narrow and inflexible perspectives
That took you for a working boy
That treated you like an expendable laborer
Kiss them goodbye
Get rid of those people
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
You shouldn't have to go to great lengths to be happy
They gave you life
Your parents brought you into the world
And in return you gave them hell
You caused them trouble or were difficult to deal with
As cold as ice
Unfeeling and aloof
I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we survive to talk about it
And when you've taken down your guard
When you've become vulnerable
If I could change your mind
If I could persuade you to see things differently
I'd really love to break your heart
I'd want to cause you emotional pain

Mary died yesterday. I am very, very sad. Condolences to her sister, Elizabeth.
@cynthiasummers8238
Mary had my exact birthday, month day and year. She died on January 19, my sister Elizabeth's ( Libby) birthday. Talk about coincidence! Born same day. Sisters with the same name.. and she died on that sister's birthday. What are the odds?

RIP Mary. The Shangri Las' were the epitome of "cool".
