You're gonna find someday you gotta run away. You gotta run,run,run away. Ha haha ha ah Monday 05 April At 28 years of age he has the musical potential to be around for many years to come. Born in Madrid, Spain he spent much of his youth growing up in Miami, Florida having been sent there by his mother following the kidnapping of his paternal grandfather in a ransom attempt. He lived here with his father, brother and sister.
His parents divorced when he was just 3 years old. Enrique has become the biggest-selling Spanish language artist in the world. The Magazine: What and when was your 1st big break? Enrique: My Big Break arrived in the form of my 1st record contract when I was years old. The thing was that I was just happy to have a record contract.
What did you do with your first pay cheque? I bought a house. In them days the bank took it back!! On your new album Seven, you wrote or co-wrote and produced every song. Where and how do you find new inspiration to achieve this?
I generally find the time when I'm on the road, which is where I wrote most of the songs for my latest album. But I write most of my music at home. Most of my inspiration comes through life experiences. How would you describe your music from Seven? The New Album is more honest. You write a song and worry if its too negative, too happy, or if the Record Company are gonna dig it.
But this time around I just had to erase these thoughts from my mind and concentrate on the lyrics and be honest in my work. Did you write the track Addicted, with it in mind that it would be the first single out of the Album? I wrote Addicted about 2 years ago whilst on tour in Germany, never thinking it would be the 1st single.
It was all done spontaneously and we just wrote songs we loved. Is there any particular track that sticks in your mind more than any other?
Each song points out a period in my life so it would be difficult to pick one in particular. They all have different meanings to me. Do you have a favourite Songwriter that you most admire? I look up to many Songwriters. From Bruce Springstein to Bono to Sting. These I would have to say would be amongst my favourites along with Lionel Ritchie, whom I had the honour of working with just over a year ago.
You have already visited Lebanon. What is your personal opinion of the place? Enrique: To be honest, I was impressed by the people and the strength they have If so, what did you think of the music you heard?
Do you foresee an opportunity to include Dubai or any other Middle Eastern country into your schedule? I had a great time and would love to come back to the region You have done collaborations with different artists in the past.
Would you ever consider doing collaboration with an Arabic artist such as Chris de Burgh and Elisa? If the song is right and we get along I would. As I have done in the past with other talented artists. Do you feel your Spanish blood is the reason for the huge amount of passion expressed in your songs?
I don't think my Spanish blood is the only reason, but it definitely has something to with it. How difficult has it become for you to have a personal life being so successful as you are? The only thing that is difficult at times is not spending enough time at home, and with friends.
Your father, as well as being a famous singer was also an accomplished footballer goalkeeper. Do you have any hidden talents that we should know about? I have a small plane that I like flying at times. How do you keep yourself in such fantastic shape? I eat a lot of cheeseburgers. Citing other improvements in human indicators, Iglesias remarked that there is practically no difference in rates between boys and girls in basic education, child and maternal mortality rates have decreased, and much progress has been made in improving access to reproductive health.
Iglesias described poverty as a social problem with economic implications. Poverty is also a political problem in which democracies must be legitimized by possessing the capacity to deliver social goods and to have feasible ways of reducing poverty and inequality, Iglesias said.
On the issue of inequality, he noted that Latin America had the worst record of developing countries, with pockets of exclusion containing a strong ethnic component, particularly of indigenous groups in the Afro-American community.
He pointed out that the million people in poverty could be full consumers and producers, and that Latin America is thus deprived of an immense force which, if empowered, could become a tremendous impetus.
Unemployment is also a tremendous problem for younger generations, which represent half the population of the region. Iglesias listed five lessons he thought should guide development practices. First, growth matters. In Latin America, unless the rate of per capita growth doubles from its current 3. Next, stability matters. Third, Iglesias noted the importance of spending on education and considering it an investment, not an expenditure.
The fourth lesson was to localize policies where possible and let the communities themselves solve problems. Iglesias described urbanization as a quick, disorderly, and disorganized process. The conditions of life in cities, including water, housing, sanitation, access to different services, daycare, paved streets, and environmental protection, have become a major problem. He believes local communities should manage these programs, as is the case now in Brazil.
A final lesson was that countries need not necessarily spend more on social policies, but rather spend more efficiently, with a focus on quality. Iglesias spoke of a number of IDB priorities, including improving competitiveness to spur growth, social reform through social protection mechanisms, youth programs, natural disaster protection, good governance, and spreading the benefits of global public goods.
Also, he stressed that freer trade will provide access to markets for poor people, particularly in rural areas. Do you know what it feels like to be the last one to know the lock on the door has changed? If birds flying south is a sign of changes At least you can predict this every year Love, you never know the minute it ends suddenly I can't get it to speak Maybe if I knew all the things it took to save us I could fix the pain that bleeds inside of me Look in your eyes to see something about me I'm standing on the edge and I don't know what else to give.
How can I love you? If you just don't talk to me, babe. I flow through my act There's a question: Is she needed? And decide all the man I can ever be. Looking at the last 3 years like I did I could never see us ending like this. Seeing your face no more on my pillow Is a scene that's never ever happened to me. But after this episode I don't see You could never tell the next thing life could be Do you know what it feels like loving someone that's in a rush to throw you away?
