George Michael Jesus To A Child by paradixman

Lyrics:

Kindness In your eyes
I guess You heard me cry
You smiled at me
Like Jesus to a child

I'm blessed I know
Heaven sent And Heaven stole
You smiled at me
Like Jesus to a child

And what have I learned
From all this pain
I thought I'd never feel the same
About anyone
Or anything again

But now I know
When you find love
When you know that it exists
Then the lover that you miss
Will come to you on those cold, cold nights

When you've been loved
When you know it holds such bliss
Then the lover that you kissed
Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight

Sadness In my eyes
No one guessed
Or no one tried
You smiled at me
Like Jesus to a child

Loveless and cold
With your last breath
You saved my soul
You smiled at me
Like Jesus to a child

And what have I learned
From all these tears
I've waited for you all those years
And just when it began
He took your love away

But I still say
When you find love
When you know that it exists
Then the lover that you miss
Will come to you on those cold, cold nights

When you've been loved
When you know it holds such bliss
Then the lover that you kissed
Will comfort you when there's no hope in sight

So the words you could not say
I'll sing them for you
And the love we would have made
I'll make it for two

For every single memory
Has become a part of me
You will always be My love

Well I've been loved
So I know just what love is
And the lover that I kissed
Is always by my side

Oh the lover I still miss
Was Jesus to a child

Lyrics:

When I walk
I walk my line
And I take
I take what's mine

And I ain't so high
That I can't fall
And I ain't so low
That I can crawl

Life's too short to throw it all away, yeh ehy
Your love is too high a price to pay, yeh ehy

When you talk
Just say you're mine
And I know - cause I feel - that it's true
You let your love light shine
And I ain't so high
That I can't fall
And I ain't so low
That I can crawl

Life's too short to throw it all away, yeh ehy
Your love is too high a price to pay, yeh ehy

Down my way.....
(Right on, keep on!)
Believe in me!
You can do anything you wanna
be what you wanna be
Time's too short to throw it all away, yeh ehy
Your love is too high a price to pay, ooh....
Uuuuhh

Life's too short to throw it all away, yeh ehy
Your love is too high a price to pay, yeh ehy

Keep on! Right on!
Keep on! Right on!

Lyrics:

All she wants is, all she wants is, all she wants is
All she wants is, all she wants is, all she wants is
Hey spend your money on the corner now ya know you've gotta save some for the shoeshine boy
You've been pulling them by the hand inside oh collecting all your toys
If you need a lead to heaven now just stick around you're gonna be there
What do you care what do you dare what does your heart say now

All she wants is, all she wants is, all she wants is

Divine intervention couldn't keep the word from leaking out
With your pleasure in suspension not to mention what you hang it around
If you need a lead to heaven again a place to share in every position
What do you care what do you dare what does your heart say now

All she wants is, all she wants is, all she wants is more
More, more, that's all now that's all
All she wants is, all she wants is, all she wants is, all she wants is
All she wants is, all she wants is, all she wants is, all she wants is
All she wants is, all she wants is, all she wants is, all she wants is
All she wants is, all she wants is, all she wants is, all she wants is
all she wants is, all she wants is, all she wants is, all she wants is

There's a coldness in the air but I don't care

Lyrics:

Closer

Turn the lights off in this place
And she shines just like a star
And I swear I know her face
I just don't know who you are
Turn the music up in here
I still hear her loud and clear
Like she's right there in my ear
Telling me that she wants to own me
To control me
Come closer

And I just can't pull my self away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop
And i just can't bring myself no way
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop

And I just can't pull my self away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop
And i just can't bring myself no way
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop

And I just can't pull my self away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop
And i just can't bring myself no way
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop

And I just can't pull my self away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop
And i just can't bring myself no way
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop

I can feel her on my skin
I can taste her on my tongue
She's the sweetest taste of sin
The more I get the more I want
She wants to own me
Come closer
She says come closer

And I just can't pull my self away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop
And i just can't bring myself no way
But I don't want to escape
I just can't stop

Come Closer
I just can't stop no

And I just can't pull myself away
Under her spell I can't break
I just can't stop

Come Closer

BT feat. Vincent Covello - Loving You More (1995)

Brian Wayne Transeau, a.k.a. BT, born in Maryland, US, to Romanian parents, has produced and written for artists such as Paul Van Dyk, Peter Gabriel, 'N Sync, Sting, Blake Lewis, Tori Amos and Tiësto. He is known for using a production technique he calls the stutter edit. This technique consists of taking a small fragments of sound and then repeating it rhythmically.
In 2010, BT was nominated for a Grammy Award for his studio album, These Hopeful Machines under the category Best Electronic/Dance Album.
A couple of days ago he released the audio plug-in 'Stutter Edit' based on his editing digital audio in realtime.

It seems ages ago, that, already back in 1995, that he started capturing my senses by one of his earliest releases. Back then, he hired Vincent Covello to deliver dreamy lyrics on 'Loving You More', another one of my favorite Trance records.

Banderas - This Is Your Life (1991)

Banderas was a female duo of the early 1990s that was signed to London Records and an offshoot of Jimmy Sommerville’s band The Communards. Caroline Buckley teamed up with Sally Herbert, one of his female backing singers. Banderas is mostly remembered for 'This Is Your Life', which was written with songwriter Roger Swallow. You can count them as a one-hit-wonder if you discount their follow up singles, which were largely ignored.
This is your Life reminds me heavily of my years at the Prinz Luitpold Bad, a Bavarian Hotel I worked in, before emigrating to the UK.

Joaquín Rodrigo - Concierto de Aranjuez (1939)

Here is a bit of a treasure: not quite classic, no quite contemporary music, yet one of the most recognisable pieces of formal music of the 20th century and considered one of the pinnacles of Spanish culture. Joaquín Rodrigo, born 22 Nov 1901 (coincidence that it is his 110th birthday today), has been blind since the age of three. He studied music in Paris, where he met Victoria Kamhi, a Turkish-born pianist and whom he married. He composed the beautiful Concierto de Aranjuez in 1939, as a reaction to the miscarriage by his wife. For this, he was awarded the Premio Nacional de Música in 1983, was raised into the Spanish nobility by King Juan Carlos I with the hereditary title of Marquis of the Gardens of Aranjuez, received the prestigious Prince of Asturias Award, Spain's highest civilian honour, in 1996 and was named Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters by the French government in 1998.
Joaquín died 6th July 1999 in Madrid at the age of 97, and was buried next to his wife at the cemetery at Aranjuez.
The adagio of the concierto reached such status that it has often been performed, covered, sampled and - believe it or not - remixed!

Said Mrad - En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor


SAİD MRAD - EN ARANJUEZ CON TU AMOR by seli-mom

Lyrics:

Aranjuez,
Un lugar de ensueños y de amor
Donde un rumor de fuentes de cristal
En el jardín parece hablar
En voz baja a las rosas

Aranjuez,
Hoy las hojas secas sin color
Que barre el viento
Son recuerdos del romance que una vez
Juntos empezamos tu y yo
Y sin razón olvidamos

Quizá ese amor escondido esté
En un atardecer
En la brisa o en la flor
Esperando tu regreso

Aranjuez,
Hoy las hojas secas sin color
Que barre el viento
Son recuerdos del romance que una vez
Juntos empezamos tu y yo
Y sin razón olvidamos

En Aranjuez, amor
Tu y yo

English translation:

Aranjuez, a place of dreams and love
Where a rumour of crystal fountains in the garden
seems to whisper to the roses

Aranjuez, today the dry leaves without colour
which are swept by the wind
Are just reminders of the romance we once started
And that we've forsaken without reason

Maybe this love is hidden in one sunset
In the breeze or in a flower
Waiting for your return

Aranjuez, today the dry leaves without colour
which are swept by the wind
Are just reminders of the romance we once started
And that we've forsaken without reason

In Aranjuez, my love
You and I

J. Birkin & S. Gainsbourg - Je T'aime (1967/69)

'Je T'aime,...Moi Non Plus' is a - if not THE - classic French duet. It was written for and recorded with Serge Gainsbourg's then-girlfriend, Brigitte Bardot, in winter 1967. Brigitte asked him to write the most beautiful love song he could imagine and that night he wrote 'Je t'aime'. They recorded an arrangement by Michel Colombier at a Paris studio in a two-hour session in a small glass booth; the engineer William Flageollet said there was 'heavy petting' involved. But news of the recording reached the press and Brigitte's then-husband (yes, it appeared to be a very liberal interpretation of 'free love' back then), German businessman Gunter Sachs, was angry and called for the single to be withdrawn. Brigitte pleaded with Serge not to release it, and although he protested that 'The music is very pure. For the first time in my life, I write a love song and it's taken badly', he complied.
In 1968, Serge fell in love with English actress Jane Birkin on the set of their film 'Slogan'. After filming, he asked her to record the song with him. Jane had heard Brigitte's version and thought it hot. She said:' only sang it because I didn't want anybody else to sing it', jealous at the thought of his sharing a recording studio with someone else. Serge asked her to sing an octave higher than la B.B. It was recorded in an arrangement by Arthur Greenslade in a studio at Marble Arch. Jane said she 'got a bit carried away with the heavy breathing – so much so, in fact, that I was told to calm down, which meant that at one point I stopped breathing altogether. If you listen to the record now, you can still hear that little gap'.
There was media speculation, as with the Brigitte Bardot version, that they had recorded live sex, to which Serge told Jane: 'Thank goodness it wasn't, otherwise I hope it would have been a long-playing record'. The track was released in February 1969. The single had a plain cover, with the words 'Interdit aux moins de 21 ans' (forbidden to those under 21) - perhaps a predecessor of the modern-day 'Adult Guidance'. Brigitte Bardot regretted not releasing her version, and her friend Jean-Louis Remilleux persuaded her to contact Serge - they released it in 1986. The song has since been covered by many different artists, but obviously has never reached the original...

Rui da Silva & Cass Fox - Touch Me (2001 & 2006)

One of my favourite track vocals: a deep husky female singing voice... - Cass Fox was busking on London's tube, bumped into Rui da Silva, of Portuguese descent, who spotted her at Piccadilly Circus station. That's just like London life goes... - from zero to hero - or vice versa.
'Touch Me' was first released in 2001 to worldwide success; five years later Cass(andra) re-released it including a very skilled remix by Spencer & Hill, which made the official radio version.

Money talks, listen, mmm-hmm-hmm, money talks
Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you, woh-oh
Money talks, money talks
Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you, woh-oh

Everybody wants to be famous,
Nobody wants to be nameless, aimless,
People act shameless
Tryna live like entertainers,
Want a fat crib with the acres,
So they spend money that they ain’t made yet,
Got a benz on tik that they ain’t paid yet,
Spend their pay cheque
In the west end on the weekend
Got no money by the end of the weekend.
But they don’t care cos their life is a movie,
Starring Louis V, paid for by yours truly,
lyricsmusicvideo.blogspot.com
Truthfully, its a joke, like a bad episode of hollyoaks,
Can’t keep up with the cover girls,
So they got bad credit livin’ on day rate,
Livin’ in debt when they still don’t get
Cos they too busy livin’ the high life, the night life
Lovin’ the high when livin’ it large
And they all say

Money talks, mmm-hmm-hmm, money talks
Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you, woh-oh
Money talks, money talks
Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you, woh-oh

Let me take you down to London city
Where the attitude’s bad and the weather is shitty
Everybody’s on a paper chase
It’s gonna be rat race
…

Money talks, mmm-hmm-hmm, money talks
Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you, woh-oh
Money talks, money talks
Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you, woh-oh

I’ve no excuse, I just want you to use me
Take me and abuse me
I got no taboos, I’ll make a trade with you
Do anything you wa-ant me to

Money talks, mmm-hmm-hmm, money talks
Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you, woh-oh
Money talks, money talks
Dirty cash I want you, dirty cash I need you, woh-oh

It's like a bad dream
Money's a friend
Do you know what I mean

People are lying in the street
Trying to find somebody to meet
Who'll get them to the top
And get them there fast
Trying to get that dirty cash

It doesn't matter, woman or man
Anyone who'll give them a hand
Cash money, that's green
Cold cash, that's the scene

I want your money

I've no excuse
I just want you to use me
Take me and abuse me

I got no taboos
I'll make a trade with you
Do anything you want me to

True love comes for free

I'm keepin' my heart open, and hopin' you won't stab me in it
'Cause I've been in love before, and when I had to pay I didn't
I'll lose my sanity, tryin' to measure your intentions
What do you want from me?
How much will it be?

[Janet:]
No more than you're willing to give
'Cause you won't pay nothin' for this good lovin', it's for free

[Luther:]
And I won't make you promises,
I'll just do all I can to be your lover 'cause I understand

Toni Braxton - Unbreak My Heart & You're Making Me High

Toni Braxton was born 1967 in Severn, Maryland into a strict religious family with her dad being a Methodist clergyman. As with so many women of R&B, Toni has her first musical experiences in her church choir.
Together with her four sisters Traci, Trina, Towanda and Tamar, Toni began performing as The Braxtons. Their first single 'Good Life', released in 1990 through Arista Records, was not successful, but it attracted the attention of Antonio 'L.A.' Reid and Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds. This was Toni's chance: both had written 'Love Shoulda Brought You Home' for Anita Baker for the soundtrack of Eddie Murphy's film Boomerang, but because Anita was pregnant at the time and decided not to record it. Toni's recording was later included on the soundtrack along with 'Give U My Heart', a duet by Braxton & Babyface.

On July 13, 1993, LaFace Records, Babyface's subsidiary of Arista, released Braxton's self-titled debut album. 'Another Sad Love Song' and 'Breathe Again' were chart topping releases thereof.

In June 1996, Braxton released her second and most successful album, Secrets.
With help of first single 'You're Makin' Me High', which became Braxton's first #1 hit, the album became her most successful.
The album's second single, 'Un-Break My Heart', written by Diane Warren, became the biggest hit of her career, spending eleven weeks at #1 and also topping the Hot Dance Singles Sales chart. The song is the second biggest selling single by a female singer in US Billboard Chart history behind Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You. Background vocals were performed by R&B singers Shanice Wilson and Chante Moore. The music video featured Braxton mourning the death of her lover, played by Ralph Lauren model Tyson Beckford (pictured right).

En Vogue - Hold On (1990)

Girl groups. Every generation has theirs, from The Supremes to Destiny's Child. The nineties were all about En Vogue. They were beautiful, seductive and they mixed the 1950's and 60's Doo-Wop look with 90's hip hop to perfection.

Lyrics:

When I had you
I treated you bad
Wrong my dear
But since, since you went away
Don't you know I sit around
With my head hanging down
And I wonder who's loving you

Oooh, my first mistake was
I wanted too much time
I had to have him morning, noon, and night
If I would of known then
The things that I know now
I might not have lost the time I complain about

Don't waste your time
Fighting blind minded thoughts of dispair
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love
Ooh, ooh, baby hold on
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love

The art of playing games now
Is not the hearts you break
It's bound good love you make
When it's heart's on fire
Give him love everyday
Remember he needs space
Be patient and he'll give his heart to you

Don't waste your time
Fighting blind minded thoughts of dispair
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love
Ooh, ooh, baby hold on
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love

Trust and honesty too
Must be the golden rule
You'll feel the strength of passion in your soul
Burn so deeply within
Ooh, the magic that you share
So sacrifice and show how much you care

Don't waste your time
Fighting blind minded thoughts of dispair
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love
Ooh, ooh, baby hold on
Hold on to your love
You gotta hold on
Hold on to your love

Don't let go
Keep the ties
Hang on tight
And don't let go
Oh,Oh,Oh
Do Daba Do Dabo Hold on
If you need him
Really need him
Just keep on
Just keep on hanging on
Little trust, honesty, golden rules
Feel the strength of passion in your soul
It's burning so deep
Have faith
Just keep the fire burning at home
Hey yea
He'll come home to you
He'll be there for you
He'll want to have you

Jade - Don't Walk Away (1993)

How I loved this track all the way back in 1993! And that, rather than for it's dancability, more for it's heavy, deep bass line. Try it out: turn up this track with a touch of extra base and you'll have a gut-tingling experience.
Tonya Kelly, Joi Marshall and Di Reed were Jade. Their first single was titled 'I Wanna Love You' and was deeply considered as the answer song to male R&B group Color Me Badd's 'I Wanna Sex You Up' (remember?) The track led the way for the trio's biggest known single 'Don't Walk Away' and their debut album went on to receive platinum status.
Due to 'irreconcilable differences' with their record company and mismanagement of funds, Jade disbanded after the release of their 1994 album 'Mind, Body, & Soul'.
Joi went on to release an independent solo gospel album in 2007, Testimony & Praise, and wrote a book entitled 'Answers to the 20 Most Asked Questions in the Music Business'. Tonya became an interior designer with her own successful firm. She gained a degree in Interior and Architectural Design prior to joining Jade. Di continues to work on solo music and has been singing backup for the likes of Rod Stewart and Usher.

Lyrics:

( Hi, were not in right now but if you leave your name and number, we'll get back to you, to you, to you, ahhhh)

I got all this love, waiting just for you
I just got to know, that your love is true
Can't keep running boy, in and out my life
Wanna be your girl, not cause the mood is right

If i let you come inside
Tomorrow will you hide?
Will you be there for me?
When i need someone to hold

Baby don't misunderstand
I do want you for my man
I just need a little time
Before i invest my love

Don't walk away boy
My love wont hurt you
Don't walk away boy,
I'll be right there for you

You say all the things
That i like to hear
You push all my buttons baby
Love to have you close to me
Wanna feel your love
Wanna be for sure
Thats its me you need baby
Each and every nite

If I let you come inside
Tomorrow will you hide?
Will you be there for me?
When I need someone to hold

Baby don't misunderstand
I do want you for my man
I just need a little time
Before i invest my love

Don't walk away boy
My love wont hurt you
Don't walk away boy,
I'll be right there for you

Baby don't misunderstand
I want you for my man
I need a little time
Before I give you my love

Don't walk away boy,

My love wont hurt you
Don't walk away boy,
I'll be right there for you

Don't walk away boy
My love wont hurt you
Don't walk away boy,
I'll be right there for you

Brandy & Monica - The Boy Is Mine (1998)

In 1998, Brandy Rayana Norwood from McComb, Mississippi, and Monica Denise Brown (born Arnold) from Atlanta, Georgia, released an album that should contain a track with the same name: 'The Boy Is Mine'. Written by LaShawn Daniels, Fred Jerkins III, Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins and Brandy with co-production by Dallas Austin, the song's lyrics tell a story about two women disputing the love of a man and is commonly perceived as Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson's duet 'The Girl Is Mine', which was charting 16 years earlier, in 1982.
'The Boy Is Mine' was the first number-one pop record for Brandy and for Monica, both stateside and internationally. Exploiting the presumption of a rivalry between two young singers, the song became one of the most successful records of the year, spending a record-breaking 13 weeks at US#1 that summer. It won the first Grammy Award of their respective careers.

Brandy ft. Monica - The Boy Is Minefound onYouClubVideo

Lyrics:

Brandy- Excuse me, can I please talk to you for a minute
Monica- uh huh, sure, you know you look kinda familiar

Brandy- Yeah, you do too but, umm,
I just wanted to know do you know
somebody named you,
you know his name.

Monica - Oh, yeah definitely I know his name.

Brandy - I just wanted to let you know he's mine.

Monica - Huh..no no, he's mine.

You need to give it up.
Had about enough.
It's not hard to see,
the boy is mine.

Brandy - I think it's time we got this straight,
let's sit and talk face to face.
There is no way you could mistake him for your man,
Are you insane?

Monica - See I know that you may be
just a bit jealous of me.
Cause' you're blind if you can't see
that his love is all in me.

Brandy - See I tried to hesitate,
I didn't want to say what he told me.
He said without me
he couldn't make it through the day,
ain't that a shame.

Monica - And maybe you misunderstood,
Plus I can't see how he could
wanna take his time and that's all good.
All of my love was all it took

The boy is mine.
You need to give it up.
Had about enough.
It's not hard to see,
the boy is mine.
I'm sorry that you
seem to be confused.
He belongs to me
the boy is mine.

Monica - Must you do the things you do
Keep on acting like a fool
You need to know it's me not you
And if you didn't know it girl it's true.

Brandy - I think that you should realize,
And try to understand why
He is a part of my life
I know it's killing you inside.

Monica - You can say what you wanna say.
What we have you can't take.
From the truth you can't escape.
I can tell the real from the fake.

Brandy - When will you get the picture.
You're the past, I'm the future
Get away it's my time to shine
if you didn't know the boy is mine.

Monica - You can't destroy this love I've found
Your silly games I won't allow
The boy is mine without a doubt
You might as well throw in the towel

Brandy - What makes you think that he wants you,
when I'm the one that brought him to
The special place that's in my heart,
he was my love right from the start

Brandy: He belongs to me (sang in chorus)
Monica: The boy is mine, not yours (after chorus)
Brandy: But mine!
Monica: Not yours!
Brandy: But mine!
Monica: Not yours!
Brandy: But mine!

I'm sorry that you
seem to be confused.
He belongs to me
the boy is mine.

What you doin' to me girl I can't hold back

So why we waitin' (let's dance)

Hit the floor show me what you workin'
Sequins on your skirt accentuates all of your curves and
Girl you know I'm likin' all the things you're doin'
Specially when them other girls be checkin' out your moves and

Girl I want in

You so hot like you come straight out of the kitchen
When you dip it down low 'cos we trippin'

Girl it's all about you so what we gonna do

Hands all up my back with my arms wrapped around your waist and
Temperature be risin' beat straight hypnotizin'
Ain't no time for talkin' girl let's keep this whole thing movin'

The glare of the strobe lights getting down on the floor
Syncopated reactions girl well that's how I do
But it ain't about me no it's all about you

Don't want this to stop so let the record just play
Till the crowd wants the re-wind get it from the DJ
Girl I wish that we didn't have no clothes on at all
But before we head to the door

Sexy thong, mini-skirt, stilettos on, shakin' all that (and all that) (let's dance)
What you doin' to me girl I can't hold back
Some hot stuff is all that I need

Lyrics:

Let's dance put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's dance to the song they're playin' on the radio

Let's sway while colour lights up your face
Let's sway sway through the crowd to an empty space

If you say run, I'll run with you
If you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Let's dance for fear your grace should fall
Let's dance for fear tonight is all

Let's sway you could look into my eyes
Let's sway under the moonlight, this serious moonlight

If you say run, I'll run with you
If you say hide, we'll hide
Because my love for you
Would break my heart in two
If you should fall
Into my arms
And tremble like a flower

Let's dance put on your red shoes and dance the blues
Let's dance to the song they're playin' on the radio

Let's sway you could look into my eyes
Let's sway under the moonlight, this serious moonlight

Lyrics:

I try to discover a little something to make me sweeter

Oh baby
refrain from breaking my heart.
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you gimme no reason why you make me work so hard.

That you gimme no
that you gimme no

That you gimme no
that you gimme no soul.
I hear you calling
oh baby
please
give a little respect to me.

And if I should falter
would you open your arms out to me?
We can make love not war
and live at peace with our hearts.
I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue

What religion or reason could drive a man to forsake his lover?

Don't you tell me no
don't you tell me no

Don't you tell me no
don't you tell me no soul.
I hear your calling
oh baby
please
give a little respect to me.

I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
That you gimme no reason
you know you make me works so hard.
That you gimme no
that you gimme no
...

I hear you calling
oh baby
please
give a little respect to me.

Jinny - Keep Warm (1991 & 1995)

Alessandro Gilardi, Claudio Varola, Federico Di Bonaventura and Walter Cremonini were Jinny, an Italian Pop/House formation which released tracks throughout the 90s. The original singers were session singers, but Jinny had several female 'faces', who did not actually sing. British book of hit singles lists singer as Janine Brown. Feel the Rhythm was also released with a male Jinny. There were numerous different CD covers around the world with faces most suited to their particular market. The Italian 'Keep Warm' for instance featured a topless female whilst the UK release had no image of a person at all. Jinny also had a string of follow up hits in continental Europe but none could reach this track's UK#11 position in 1995.

Kings of Tomorrow & Julie McKnight - Finally (2005)

Kings of Tomorrow feat. Julie McKnight - Finally (2005)



Lyrics:

Time marches on never ending,
time keeps its own time,
Here we stand at beginning,
and then goes passing us by,
And I, I, I can dream for us all,
I hope I'm in a better state,
When here and now crumbles and falls
and you, you , you who make worlds collide
I knew you'd come knocking one day,
unannounced like a thief in the night.

Where do we go from here,
time ain't nothing but time,
I now have no fear of my fears
And no more tears to cry,
tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow means nothing at all
If we don't hear the line,
when today places its call, and morning, morning, morning
Won't ever be the same,
now I won't make the same mistakes, time and time again

So tell me how do you do
Finally I meet you
You don't know what I've been through,
waiting and wondering about you
I had a dream my trip would end at you,
and now I know paradise.

1st verse again flipped

So tell me how do you do
Finally I meet you
You don't know what I've been through,
waiting and wondering about you
I had a dream my trip would end at you,
and now I know paradise.

So tell me how do you do
Finally I meet you
You don't know what I've been through,
waiting and wondering about you
I had a dream my trip would end at you,
and now I know paradise.

Kings of Tomorrow feat. Haze - Dreams (2003)

8 Years ago. 8 years? Yes, 8 years ago! Time FLIES! Sandy Riviera, born in Manhattan's north, Harlem, is behind such infamous projects like Kings of Tomorrow. He has had several big hitters to date, but one I remember very much is this one: Dreams. It's Arabesque subnote is something you wouldn't normally expect of a Latino DJ & remixer. Other tracks preceeded and followed, both under his name and synonyms, such as 'Changes', which I shall recommend shortly.
Sandy lives in New Jersey these days. Personally, I don't understand the progress route of residencies, but then again, New Jersey - like Wales in the UK - is famous for it's vocalists. Pulse on the talent?

Ahhh... Yeah yeah

Heartbreaks and promises, I’ve had more than my share
I’m tired of giving my love and getting nowhere, nowhere

Lyrics:

Well, well, well
You finally got here
I've been sitting up all night
Just waiting to talk to ya
But that is nothing unusual huh,
Is it honey?
Well, what happened?
Your bit of trash, she kicked you out
And you thought you'd come
Running back to me?
Well let me tell you honey
I've got better things to do
Than sit around waiting for you
Just listen to me, listen to me honey
I’m own the house, i pay the bills
And you've been living on borrowed time
Can you dig it?
You'd better believe it
Don't look at me like that
With those sogged eyes
Thinking i'd come running back to you
What am i doing?
Yes, i'm packing your bag
Don't touch me
Don't, don't, don't touch me

I have taken all
I'm gonna take from you
You kicked and beat me until
I was black and blue
Never again will i suffer in silence
From your verbal abuse and
Your physical violence

Now boy it's my turn, my home and my glory
Here comes the end of a very long story
I'm out control now and as weak as i am
I'm at that point where i don't give a damn

This is a love eviction,
An end to the friction
Just head straight for the door
A love eviction, a sentence and conviction
You don't live here anymore

This is a love eviction,
An end to the friction
You're leaving now, there's no doubt
A love eviction, a sentence and conviction
Just take your things and get out

You're leaving tonight boy,
It's my turn to shout
Get out of my sight,
I'm kicking you out
I'm saving myself respect,
Saving my pride
Start packing your bags,
Leave your keys on the side

Get out of my house now,
Don't ever come back
You'd better start moving,
I'm on the attack
Don't ever return here,
Don't dock in my door
For this love affair is over,
I can't stand it no more

This is a love eviction,
An end to the friction
Just head straight for the door
A love eviction, a sentence and conviction
You don't live here anymore

This is a love eviction (get out),
An end to the friction (get out)
I said get out
A love eviction, a sentence and conviction

Get on up, get on now
Get on up and get out of my house
What do you think you're doing?
I said get up and get out
Get on up, get on now
Get on up and get out of my house
Get on up, get on now
Get on up and get out of my house
Get on up, get on now
Get on up and get out of my house
Get on up, get on now
Get on up

Chicane - Saltwater (1999)

Nick Bracegirdle, a.k.a. Chicane, in 1999 composed one of my all-time favourite tunes in musical category of Trance : Saltwater

Turn it up loud, close your eyes, and imagine being in Chicago, walking on the stormy wave-whipping lake shore while the rain is battering down from above.
Ending up absolutely sogged from all sides, but happy, watching the city skyline with sea birds circling. Exactly this is what I experienced. Awesome! - The track uses parts of Clannad's 1982 hit Theme From Harry's Game with both re-recorded and newly-written lyrics, performed by Irish Celtic folk singer and Clannad singer Máire Brennan, sister of Enya.

Nana Mouskouri - Weisse Rosen aus Athen (1961)



Lyrics:

Weiße Rosen aus Athen
sagen dir: "Komm recht bald wieder!",
sagen dir: "Auf Wiedersehn",
weiße Rosen aus Athen.

Der Tag erwacht, die Sonne, sie kommt wieder
und wieder kommt nun auch der Abschied für uns zwei.
Nun fährt dein Schiff hinaus mit Wogen,
doch es sind Grüsse aus der Heimat mit dabei.

Weiße Rosen aus Athen
sagen dir: "Komm recht bald wieder!",
sagen dir: "Auf Wiedersehn",
weiße Rosen aus Athen

Weiße Rosen blüh'n an Bord
in der weiten weiten Ferne,
blüh'n für dich allein so schön
weiße Rosen aus Athen.

Im fernen Land, wo keiner auf dich wartet,
da seh'n die Sterne in der Nacht ganz anders aus.
Dort ist die Welt so fremd und du bist einsam,
darum begleiten dich heut' Blumen von zuhaus.

Weiße Rosen aus Athen
sagen dir: "Komm recht bald wieder!",
sagen dir: "Auf Wiedersehn",
weiße Rosen aus Athen.
Auf Wiedersehn!

English version 'White Rose of Athens':

Till the white rose blooms again
You must leave me, leave me lonely
So goodbye my love till then
Till the white rose blooms again

The summer days are ending in the valley
And soon the time will come when we must be apart
But like the rose that comes back with the spring time
You will return to me when spring time comes around
Till the white rose blooms again
You must leave me, leave me lonely
So goodbye my love till then
Till the white rose blooms again
Till the white rose blooms again
You must leave me, leave me lonely
So goodbye my love till then
Till the white rose blooms again

Goodbye till then
Goodbye till then
Goodbye till then

Greek version 'San sfirixis tris fores':

Mi mou milate yia livadia

Ta poulia petoun sta dasi

Ti zitas apo to homa

French version 'Roses blanches de Corfou':

Roses blanches de Corfou
Roses blanches, roses blanches
Chaque nuit je pense à vous
Roses blanches de Corfou

Pourquoi faut-il que la bateau s'en aille
Quand le soleil se lève encore dans le ciel bleu
Quand nous vivons le temps des fiançailles
Pourquoi faut-il que vienne le temps des adieux?

Roses blanches de Corfou
Roses blanches, roses blanches
Chaque nuit je pense à vous
Roses blanches de Corfou

Votre parfum est si doux
Quand l'aurore vient éclore
Mais je suis bien loin de vous
Roses blanches de Corfou
Je pense à vous
Je pense à vous
Je pense à vous

Lyrics:

We walked in the cold air.
Freezing breath on a window pane,
Lying and waiting.
The man in the dark in a picture frame,
So mystic and soulful.
A voice reaching out in a piercing cry,
It stays with you until

The feeling has gone only you and I.
It means nothing to me.
This means nothing to me.
Oh Vienna,.

The music is weaving
Haunting notes, pizzicato strings,
The rhythm is calling.
Alone in the night as the daylight brings,
A cool empty silence.
The warmth of your hand and a cold grey sky,
It fades to the distance.

The image has gone only you and I.
It means nothing to me.
This means nothing to me.
Oh, Vienna.

This means nothing to me.
This means nothing to me.
Oh, Vienna.
