They released their first album Forgiven, Not Forgotten in 1995, which had its greatest success in Australia, Sweden, Spain and Ireland, gaining later success in the UK and in Canada. The title track, 'The Right Time' and 'Runaway' were all singles that would reach within the top ten Irish Singles Chart. Success followed in much of Europe, Asia and Australia. Two years later in 1997 a second album Talk On Corners was released which was principally popular in Ireland, eventually raising them to astonishing fame in the UK, and later success followed in much of Europe, Asia and Australia. Both albums have been certified gold in the United States. In 1999, they recorded a Unplugged album as part of MTV's Unplugged series. The session was recorded live on 5 October 1999 in front of an audience at Ardmore Studios, Co. Wicklow, Ireland. In 2000, following the death of their mother, Jean, in 1999, they released their third studio album In Blue, which included the song 'No More Cry' which Andrea, the lead vocalist along with Caroline the drummer, wrote after the loss of their mother. The hit song 'Breathless' from this album also allowed the band to break into the U.S. The band took a break after this, allowing time for Sharon Corr to get married, and Caroline Corr to marry and have her first child, a son, Jake.
A compilation album The Best of the Corrs was released in 2001 featuring previous released songs as well as new tracks. The new single that was only released and featured in this complication is 'Would You Be Happier'. After six months from the album's release, it turned multi-platinum worldwide. Selling just over 17 million copies worldwide, it is The Corrs' most successful album to date; and one of the most succesful albums to come out of Ireland. Andrea Corr also began to flirt with the possibility of acting. After appearing in several movies such as Evita, Boys and Girls from County Claire, and The Bridge. In 2004, they released their album Borrowed Heaven, which featured the track 'Time Enough For Tears' which was penned by Bono and Gavin Friday for the film soundtrack In America, as well as Lady Smith Black Mambazo featuring on the title track. The album was a great success in their homeland Ireland where it peaked at number 1 with all three singles entering the Irish Music Charts. The album also entered the top ten albums in the United States with the single Summer Sunshine entering the top 20 singles. Around this time also, Caroline gave birth to her second child, a daughter, Georgina and now it is said that another baby girl is on the way.
Following this album a year later, the band covered several traditional Irish songs and traditionals on the album simply named "Home". "Home" was compiled through a songbook of their late mother Jean Corr as a tribute to her. Following the album release of Home, Sharon has given birth to her first child, a son, Cathal, and Jim Corr announced his engagement to his girlfriend Gayle. They have a son, Brandon. Andrea is currently working on several film projects and is planning to embark on a solo career, whilst her brother and sisters focus on their families. Her forthcoming solo album is titled "Present" and is produced by Nellee Hooper. Bono is the executive producer of the allbum, which should be out in Spring '07. The band are due to release another Greatest Hits album on the 20th of November 2006, entitled Dreams: The Ultimate Corrs Collection.
Andrea Corr also has acting ambitions. Long before The Corrs made a record, she played a small role in The Commitments (1991), as Sharon Rabbitte, one of the lead's younger sister. She is seen dancing the jig in one of the band casting scenes. She also played in Evita (1996) alongside Madonna as one of president Péron's mistresses, in Broken Thread (2007), The Bridge (2005), The Boys from County Clare (2003), and sang the part of Kayley in Quest for Camelot (1998).
The band has been inactive since 2005 because Jim and Caroline are raising families, while Andrea and Sharon are pursuing solo careers. According to Sharon Corr, it is uncertain if and when The Corrs will reunite.

No Good for Me
The Corrs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see myself in a strong embrace
And I feel protection from the human race
It's not parental
But it's a fantasy, not a reality
And it's no good, no no good for me you have no idea
That I'm walking through the clouds
I'm feeling like a child
Vulnerability
I am shaking like a leaf if you move beside me
And you're all that I see
But it's no good for me
You have a home (you have a home) in a quiet place
And someone else feels your strong embrace
She is protected and she needs no chase
And do you love her
You're a mystery, you are the heart of intrigue
You're no good, no no good for me
That you have no idea
That I'm walking through the clouds
When you're looking at me
I'm feeling like a child
Vulnerability
I am shaking like a leaf if you move beside me
And you're all that I see
But it's no good for me
No it's no good for me, yeah
No good for me
It's so make-believe
You have no idea
That I'm walking through the clouds
When you're looking at me
I'm feeling like a child
Vulnerability
I am shaking like a leaf if you move beside me
And you're all that I see
But it's no good for me
No good, no good
Through the clouds
When you're looking at me
I'm feeling like a child
Vulnerability
I am shaking like a leaf if you move beside me
And you're all that I see
But it's no good, it's just no good for me
The Corrs' song "No Good for Me" is about a person who is in love with someone who is not good for them. The singer daydreams about a quiet place where they are embraced and protected, but realizes that it is just a fantasy and not a reality. The person they are in love with may provide them comfort and make them feel like they are walking on clouds, but ultimately they are not a good match for the singer. They are a mystery, and their heart is full of intrigue. The singer is vulnerable, shaking like a leaf whenever they are near this person, but they know that the relationship is not good for them.
The song explores the idea of wanting someone who is not good for you but being unable to resist them. It can be difficult to acknowledge that someone you love may not be the right person for you, and that the relationship may not be healthy. The singer's feelings are all consuming, but they know deep down that it is not a sustainable situation.
Line by Line Meaning
I see a home in a quiet place
I envision a peaceful home in a serene setting
I see myself in a strong embrace
I imagine myself being held tightly and securely
And I feel protection from the human race
I sense safety and security from the dangers of the world
It's not parental
The comforting feeling is not like that of a parent's love
But it's a fantasy, not a reality
The feeling is not grounded in truth but rather in imagination
And it's no good, no no good for me you have no idea
As good as it feels, it is not healthy for me and you cannot comprehend
That I'm walking through the clouds
I am in a dreamlike state of mind
When you're looking at me
In the presence of the person in question
I'm feeling like a child
I am feeling vulnerable and in need of protection
Vulnerability
The state of being exposed to emotional or physical harm
I am shaking like a leaf if you move beside me
I am so nervous that even the slightest movement by the person startles me
And you're all that I see
The person has my undivided attention
But it's no good for me
Despite the intense feelings, it is not a healthy situation for me
You have a home (you have a home) in a quiet place
The person in question has a tranquil home environment
And someone else feels your strong embrace
Someone else is receiving the same sense of safety and security from the person
She is protected and she needs no chase
The other person is content with the safety and security in their relationship
And do you love her
Is the person in a loving relationship with the other person
You're a mystery, you are the heart of intrigue
The person in question is an enigma and a source of fascination
No it's no good for me, yeah
It is not a good situation for me, without a doubt
No good for me
Not beneficial or healthy for me
It's so make-believe
The feelings are not based in reality but rather imagination
You have no idea
You cannot understand the nature of my feelings in this situation
