suedenyc Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 There was a time when my other-half and I broke up after 3 years. My singer-friend Gioia sent me this demo she recorded and I lost my mind. He had to hear it...I emailed him a copy...10 minutes later, my phone rang...there was nothing but silence...then sobbing. We both finally spoke after breaking all ties for 6 weeks...we both ended up leaving work early that day and that all led to us working things out---ah the power of music!!!Anyway, here are some of the lyrics;"You moved into my life, like salvation to my soul.Your touch was like a fire, your voice was like a willow.And the words you chose to woo me, brought my senses to their knees.Until you had my trust and my belief.You hold me like a lover, protect me like a saint. You promised that no other, would ever take my place.Chorus:I love to hear you say how much you love me.I love to hear your every reason why.As I lay here with a special card you left for me to find (you know how I love a good surprise); Just never thought I'd hear you say, Goodbye.--------Thankfully, I'm actually very happy these days. We've now officially hit 3.5 years and our relationship is better than ever. The song was recorded as a demo by Gioia and produced by Tony Moran. It was written by a man who has since passed away however his wife would not sell Gioia the rights so she can't use it...I guess it's too personal. The sad thing is that the world will never hear it. I wanted to share it with all of you. Please don't record it or make any copies...it is copywritten and heavily protected.Here's a "secret" link to the song on her website...I had to add static noise here and there to mess up any attempts at copying it. http://www.gioiabruno.com/RealAudio/never.ram Have a good cry,Rich------------------Peace,Love & Hairgrease,Rich Suede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melichacha Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Well, this isn't particularly the best song ever, and it's not by any of my favorites, but "Near You Always" by Jewel has some great lyrics... It goes...***Please don't say I love you,those words touch me much too deeplyand they make my core trembleDon't think you realize the power you have over meAnd please don't come so closeIt just makes me want to make you near me alwaysPlease don't kiss me so sweetit makes me crave a thousand kisses to followAnd please don't touch me like thatmakes every other embrace seem pale and shallowPlease don't look at me like thatIt just makes me want to make you near me alwaysBRIDGE: Please don't send me flowersthey only whisper the sweet things you'd sayDon't try to understand meyour hands already know too much anywayIt just makes me want to make you near me always And when you look into my eyesplease know my heart is in your handsIt's nothing that I understand, but when in your armsyou have complete power over meSo be gentle if you please 'causeYou hands are in my hair, but my heart is in your teethAnd it makes me want to make you near me alwaysI want to be near you alwaysI want to be near you alwaysI want to be near you always***Anyway... I love that song... feels good to sing sometimes... Far as happier songs with a lot of meaning, I have to go with either Stevie Wonder's "Overjoyed" or Anita Baker's "You Bring Me Joy" (my FAVORITE song to perform ever)... Of course, those all have to do with love, but whatever... - Meli - ------------------ "MeliChaCha -- Saving the world before bedtime... wait...

Yeah, Gioia has a very unique, destinctive voice. Some of you might remember her from her Expose days: Come Go With Me, Point Of No Return, Exposed To Love, Let Me Be The One, Seasons Change, What You Don't Know, Tell Me Why, I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me, etc...The right deal will come along someday and when it does...Look out!Thanks for your ears everyone,Rich------------------Peace,Love & Hairgrease,Rich Suede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
