There’s a new song by Rihanna that I like called Umbrella. You can watch the music video: Rihanna – Umbrella. I thought the tune was rather catchy and the beat was nice, though I didn’t particularly like the intro, as I’m not a big fan of rap. The ella, ella, eh, eh is especially catchy.
Here are the lyrics (from metrolyrics) (Show):
Jay-Z:
Ahuh Ahuh (Yea Rihanna)
Ahuh Ahuh (Good girl gone bad)
Ahuh Ahuh (Take three… Action)
Ahuh Ahuh
No clouds in my storms
Let it rain
I hydroplane into fame (Eh eh)
Come’n down with the Dow Jones
When the clouds come we gone
We Rocafella (Eh eh)
She fly higher than weather
And she rocks it better
You know me
An anticipation for precipitation
stacks chips for the rainy day (Eh eh)
Jay, rain man is back with lil Ms. Sunshine
Rihanna where you at?
[VERSE 1]
You had my heart
and we’ll never be world apart
Maybe in magazines
but you’ll still be my star
Baby cause in the Dark
You can see shiny Cars
And that’s when you need me there
With you I’ll always share
Because
[CHORUS]
When the sun shines
We’ll shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
That I’ll always be your friend
Took an oath
I’mma stick it out ’till the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we still have each other
You can stand under my Umbrella
You can stand under my Umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)
[VERSE 2]
These fancy things,
will never come in between
You’re part of my entity
Here for Infinity
When the war has took it’s part
When the world has dealt it’s cards
If the hand is hard
[Umbrella lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
Together we’ll mend your heart
Because …
[CHORUS]
When the sun shines
We’ll shine together
Told you I’ll be here forever
That I’ll always be your friend
Took an oath
I’mma stick it out ’till the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we still have each other
You can stand under my Umbrella
You can stand under my Umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)
[BRIDGE]
You can run into my Arms
It’s okay don’t be alarmed
(Come into Me)
(There’s no distance in between our love)
So Gonna let the rain pour
I’ll be all you need and more
Because …
[CHORUS]
When the sun shines
We’ll shine Together
Told you I’ll be here forever
That I’ll always be your friend
Took an oath
I’mma stick it out ’till the end
Now that it’s raining more than ever
Know that we still have each other
You can stand under my Umbrella
You can stand under my Umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh)
Under my umbrella
(ella ella eh eh eh eh eh eh)
It’s raining (raining)
Ooo baby it’s raining
baby come into me
Come into me
It’s raining (raining)
Ooo baby it’s raining
You can always come into me
Come into me……
Anyway, the radio stations around here has been playing a remix of the song Umbrella and has inserted a guy singing You can be my Cinderella. I thought the newly added lyrics fitted well with the original song, though I think they still had some cutting/editing problems as the song had some parts that didn’t flow too smoothly. You can listen to the music in this video: Rihanna ft. Chris Brown- Umbrella/Cinderella (with lyrics). The video is just a collage of images.
Here are the lyrics (from metrolyrics) (Show):

When I first showed this song to RayAlome, he was commenting on how slow the song was. Apparently he has been listening to the Lindbergh Palace Remix, which is like twice or thrice the speed of the original. Not a bad remix either, as the beats are nice. When the song first started playing, the first few words of ella, ella, eh, eh, eh was really fast and having been told by RayAlome that he was accustomed to listening to the song a 3x the speed, I was totally expecting chipmunks. However, the voice sounded normal through the song. I was wondering if they had Rihanna sing fast for the remix and RayAlome said she must’ve. Cause when you increase speed, the pitch gets all messed up. There was also the Seamus Haji & Paul Emanuel Radio Edit which is also beaty. Not sure if I like that one yet. Both songs are available on her Umbrella CD.
