Vanessa Williams - Save The Best For Last

2005-09-15T23:20:00.000-05:00

Sometimes the snow comes down in june...
Sometimes the sun goes round the moon...
I see the passion in your eyes.
Sometimes it's all a big surprise.
Cause there was a time when all i did was wish..
U'd tell me this was love.
It's not the way i hoped or how i planned...
But some how it's enough~~ and now we're standing face to face
Isn't this world a crazy place..
Just when i thought out chance had passed.
U go and save the best for last.
All of the nights u come to me..
When some silly girl had set u free...
U wondered how u'd make it through i wondered
What was wrong with u.
Cause how could u give your love to someone else..
And share your dreams with me.
Sometimes the everything u'er looking for...
Is the onething u can't see.
U when and save the best for last...

The Real Group - I Sing You Sing

2005-09-15T23:07:00.000-05:00

We have sung together for twenty years, made over 2000 performances in many countries all over the world, made 12 CDs in Sweden plus some CDs released elsewhere. Here is an attempt to summarize our history.
The Real Group was formed in 1984. We had been singing in choirs since childhood, and we all played instruments. It was natural for us to form a vocal band.
Bobby McFerrin was a major inspiration at that time. After hearing him sing we understood that the voice can be used in new fascinating ways.
In the beginning we were primarily learning about how to sing a cappella, and to write arrangements for this kind of group. We were very proud if we could sing very fast or difficult. Then there was a period of learning about the recording studio. It took some time before all of us had provided the group with an original composition.
Today we write most of our music ourselves. And we don't really care if a song is fast or slow, difficult or simple, or whatever, as long as we like to sing it. It is not even important for us to sound like instruments. It may appear to others that "our thing" is to sound like instruments. But we are just making music the way we hear it when we listen to a cd or go to a concert. All those impressions have a lot of sounds that come naturally with the musical style, so it is just natural for us to include "instrumental sounds" in our own music. "Why do you do that?" someone might ask. To which we may answer "why not?!!"

The Real Group - Small Talk

2005-09-15T23:06:00.000-05:00

Hello, it's good to see you again
What have you been doin' lately tell me now
Same as always
I can't believe the way time flies
it must have been a million years ago
Really?
Tell me is life treating you well
Could be worse I can't complain and how'bout you
When it rains it pours
You haven't change at all
Small talk is all talk you ever need if to succeed today
Meeting means a lot of greeting
Greeting means a lot of talking
Talking doesn't always mean you're thinking
Still we love those empty words
What a day so nice and warm don't you think
I've been told we'll get some rain this afternoon
It's time for me to go
But have you heard the latest news that you know who
Did you know what with you know who
You don't say
You look fine what's new how is life
Pretty good and how's your car your kids and wife
Not too bad and you
I really have to go now
Small talk is all talk you ever need if to succeed today
Meeting means a lot of greeting
Greeting means a lot of talking
Talking doesn't always mean you're thinking
Still we love those empty words
We use the same familiar phrases over and over again
We use the same familiar phrases over and over again
We use the same familiar phrases over and over again
And over and over again

Lisa Ono - Every Breath You Take

2005-09-15T22:47:00.000-05:00

Every breath you take.. Every move you make
Every bond you break.. Every step you take
I'll be watching you..
Every single day ..Every word you say
Every game you play.. Every night you say
I'll be watching you
O can't you see ..You belong to me
How my poor heart aches ..With every step you take
Every move you make..Every vow you break
Every smile you fake.. Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone I been lost without a trace
I dream at night I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep crying baby, baby, please
O can't you see .. You belong to me
How my poor heart aches .. With every breath you take
Every move you make .. Every vow you break
Every smile you fake .. Every claim you stake
Every move you make .. Every step you take
I'll be watching you
