The Corrs have released seven studio albums and numerous singles that have achieved Platinum status in several countries. They have sold an estimated 40 million albums worldwide. Their most successful album, "Talk on Corners," reached multi-Platinum certification in Australia and became the highest-selling album of the year in the United Kingdom. The band is among a small number of artists who have held the top two positions simultaneously in the UK album charts, with "Talk on Corners" at number one and "Forgiven, Not Forgotten" at number two. In Australia, "Talk on Corners" was the third highest-selling album of the year. Their third studio album, "In Blue," reached number one in seventeen countries.
The Corrs have received two Grammy Award nominations and one BRIT Award, and were honored with MBEs in 2005 in recognition of their contributions to music and charitable work. They have participated in various philanthropic initiatives, including performances at The Prince's Trust event in 2004 and Live 8 in 2005.
The band was on hiatus for nearly a decade while Jim and Caroline focused on raising families and Andrea and Sharon pursued solo careers alongside family life. According to Sharon, it was uncertain whether the group would reunite. In early 2015, speculation about a reunion emerged, and in a June 2015 radio interview with Chris Evans, Andrea confirmed that the Corrs were working on a new album and would perform at that year's BBC Radio 2 Live in Hyde Park festival. Their sixth studio album, "White Light," was released on 27 November 2015 and was followed by a European tour. Their seventh studio album, "Jupiter Calling," was released on 10 November 2017.

The Corrs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Last night before you fell asleep
You whispered something to me
Was it just a dream
I'm gonna listen to you close
'Cause your goodnight kiss
Felt like a ghost
What are you trying to say to me
What are you trying to say
Everybody's searching for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Everybody's hurting for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
We come into this world alone
From the heart of darkness
The infinite unknown
We're only here a little while
And I feel safe and warm
When I see you smile
Baby don't move away from me
Baby don't pull away
Everybody's searching for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Everybody's hurting for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Remember when you were a child
And your momma would hold you in her arms
And rock you to sleep, yeah, yeah, yeahNow darling there's just you and I
Let's give each other everything, baby baby, yeah, yeah
Everybody's searching for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Everybody's hurting for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Baby come and lay down next to me
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Everybody's searching for intimacy
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Hey, yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Umm, uh, hee he yeah
The Corrs' song "Intimacy" deals with the universal human desire for connection with others. The lyrics describe the vulnerability and uncertainty that come with love, and the search for deeper and more meaningful relationships. The first verse describes a moment of intimacy between two people, when one whispers something to the other before falling asleep. The uncertainty of whether this was just a dream or a real message emphasizes the ambiguity and complexity of human emotions.
The chorus highlights the universal nature of this desire by stating that "Everybody's searching for intimacy" and "Everybody's hurting for intimacy." The repetition of the phrase "Ooh ooh ooh ooh" adds a sense of longing and yearning. The second verse reflects on the briefness of human life and the comfort that can be found in the presence of a loved one. The line "We're only here a little while" reinforces the importance of making the most of the time we have and cherishing those close to us.
The bridge of the song recalls the feeling of being held by a parent as a child, and urges the listener to give themselves to their partner completely. The final chorus repeats the message of the first, affirming that love and intimacy are fundamental human needs.
Overall, "Intimacy" is a poignant and emotionally charged song that speaks to the universal human desire for connection and closeness.
