.....You and me song

The Wannadies were an alternative rock band formed in 1988 in Skellefteå, northern Sweden. The band's initial line-up featured Pär Wiksten (vocals, guitars), Christina Bergmark (born 1 March 1963) (keyboards, vocals), Stefan Schönfeldt (born 5 June 1965) (guitars) and his younger brother Fredrik Schönfeldt (bass) with Gunnar Karlsson (drums) and Björn Malmquist (violin). Early influences included The Go-Betweens, The Sisters of Mercy, John Lennon, The Pixies and The Clash.

"You and me song" originally released as a single in 1994, it became the group's biggest UK hit two years later when it reached number 18 in the singles chart in April 1996. Appearing on the band's third album, Be a Girl, the song was also included on their next album, Bagsy me, due to the success of the re-released single and the song's appearance on the soundtrack of Baz Luhrmann's film William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet.

The Wannadies are one of those quirky bands that everyone has heard of but can't quite place what song they know. 'You and me song' was the biggest hit of their career and slotted into the music mind of one and all through the latter half of the 1990s.

My name is Luka....

Suzanne Nadine Vega (born July 11, 1959) is an American songwriter and singer known for her highly literate lyrics and eclectic folk-inspired music. Two of Vega's songs (both from her second album Solitude Standing, 1987) reached the top 10 of various international chart listings: "Luka" and "Tom's Diner". The latter was originally an a cappella version on Vega's album, which was then remade in 1990 as a dance track produced by the British dance production team DNA. On a 1987 Swedish television special, Vega said this about the song "Luka" ...A few years ago, I used to see this group of children playing in front of my building, and there was one of them, whose name was Luka, who seemed a little bit distinctive from the other children. I always remembered his name, and I always remembered his face, and I didn't know much about him, but he just seemed set apart from these other children that I would see playing. And his character is what I based the song Luka on. In the song, the boy Luka is an abused child — in real life I don't think he was. I think he was just different...

"Luka" is a song recorded by Suzanne Vega and released as a single in 1987. It remains her highest-charting hit in the United States, reaching #3 on the Billboard Hot 100. This song was one of the earliest to deal with child abuse and domestic violence. One critic said, "the 'happy' music is a metaphorical denial, making this seem beautiful and serene while discussing something terrible and devastating. It is a wonderful use of tune as a metaphor for how many abuse victims also deny their abuse, and is a profound classic"

This video was directed by Michael Patterson, & Candice Reckinge. It was shot over 3 days, in New York City. The part of Luka was chosen after the directors auditioned more than 90 kids for the part. It is her most popular video to date...

Matthew Sweet - Sick of myself

Sidney Matthew Sweet (born October 6, 1964, in Lincoln, Nebraska) is an American alternative rock/power pop musician. He was part of the burgeoning Athens, Georgia music scene in the early and mid-1980s before gaining commercial success during the early 1990s. He continues to release albums and tour. In 1995, Sweet released "100% Fun." The album mixed bouncy pop style with darker lyrics, including a leadoff track, the self-deprecating "Sick of myself." This is the stuff that power pop dreams are made of and it’s never sounded so good...

You don't know.. how you move me
Deconstruct me.. and consume me
I'm all used up.. I'm out of luck.. I am starstruck
By something in your eyes.. that is keeping my hope alive
But I'm sick of myself when I look at you..
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
And I'm beginning to think.. Baby you don't know
I'll take or leave.. the room to breathe
The choice to leave you.. I'll throw away
A chance at greatness.. Just to make this..
Dream come into play.. I don't know if I'll find a way
'Cause I'm sick of myself when I look at you..
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
And I'm beginning to think.. Baby you don't know
I'm beginning to think.. Baby you don't know
There's something in your eyes.. that is keeping my hope alive
But I'm sick of myself when I look at you..
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
And I'm beginning to think.. Baby you don't know
I'm beginning to think.. Baby you don't know..

Radiohead

Radiohead are an English alternative rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, formed in 1985. The band consists of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano, beats), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboard, other instruments), Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals), Colin Greenwood (bass guitar, synthesizers) and Phil Selway (drums, percussion). The band released their debut album, Pablo Honey, in February 1993. It stalled at number 22 in the UK charts, as "Creep" and its anthemic follow-up singles "Anyone can play guitar" and "Stop whispering" failed to become radio or video hits. "Pop is Dead", a non-album single later disavowed by the band, sold equally poorly. Some critics compared the band's early style to the wave of grunge music popular in the early 1990s—to the extent of Radiohead being dubbed "Nirvana-lite"—yet Pablo Honey failed to make either a critical or a commercial splash upon its initial release. Despite shared influences with popular guitar-heavy acts, and some notice for Yorke's falsetto voice, the band toured only British universities and clubs.

Anyone can play guitar : (Download)

"Anyone can play guitar" was a single taken from Radiohead's first album Pablo Honey, released just in advance of the album. It was the band's second single, and their first to receive a wide hearing ("Creep" had been issued in limited quantities some months earlier, and had failed to chart, but would soon become a hit and ultimately be re-released later in 1993). "Anyone Can Play Guitar" made relatively little impression on the charts, but it remained a staple of the band's live sets throughout the early-mid nineties.

Radiohead released The Bends in March 1995. The album was driven by dense riffs and ethereal atmospheres from the band's three guitarists, with greater use of keyboards than their debut. It also received stronger reviews for both songwriting and performances. While Radiohead were seen as outsiders to the Britpop scene that dominated the media's attention at the time, they were finally successful in their home country with The Bends, as singles "Fake plastic trees", "High and Dry", "Just", and "Street spirit (Fade out)" made their way to UK chart success; the latter song placed Radiohead in the top five for the first time. In 1995.

High and Dry : (Download)

Two music videos were created for "High and Dry", one produced for the American market and another for Britain. The first version, directed by Paul Cunningham, stars the band in a diner, where other patrons are involved in dramas of their own, which are revealed through the use of flashbacks. A couple and the diner's cook are involved in an unspecified crime. A businessman is hiding something in his briefcase. In the end, the two dramas are resolved when the guilty parties are betrayed, the cook gives the couple a time bomb and the businessman is ambushed and killed (though the murder is only suggested). The British version of the video is in black and white, directed by David Mould. It shows the band performing in a desert setting amidst trucks and filming equipment. By the end of the video, it rains on the band, but they continue playing. This was actually the first version of the video produced, but the band expressed dissatisfaction with it, leading to the other video. Only the US version appears on the band's 1998 video compilation 7 Television Commercials, and both the UK and US versions appear on the Radiohead: The Best Of DVD released in 2008 by EMI.

Stop whispering : (Download)

"Stop whispering" is a single from British alternative rock band Radiohead, released as the band's fourth single in 1993. It is the fourth track off their first album, Pablo Honey (1993). Radiohead have not performed the song live since the mid 1990s. The song was written as a tribute to the Pixies, a band that had an important influence over Radiohead at the time. "Stop whispering" is also one of Radiohead's oldest songs; it was created when the band was still known as On A Friday (1985–1991), originally being on Dungeon Demo. The promotional video, directed by Jeffery Plansker, features Thom Yorke in a very out-of-character style, with blond, shoulder-length hair and wearing a white suit. Since then he has favoured darker clothing and short hair.

Sick and tired...

The Cardigans is a Swedish band formed in the town of Jönköping in 1992. The band's musical style has varied greatly from album to album and encompasses their early indie leanings passing through '60s-inspired pop and more band-based rock. Peter Svensson and Magnus Sveningsson, both heavy metal musicians, formed the group on October 31 1992 in Jönköping, Sweden, with drummer Bengt Lagerberg, keyboardist Lars-Olof Johansson and lead singer Nina Persson. Living together in a small apartment, The Cardigans recorded a demo tape which record producer Tore Johansson heard, leading to an invitation to record at a studio in Malmö. In 1994 they released their debut album "Emmerdale" in Sweden and Japan (it was re-released internationally in 1997).

Sick and tired (Download)

"Emmerdale" though not The Cardigans best album is still a super piece of music. it starts with "Sick and Tired" upbeat but lyrically sounding as though the singer is slightly peed off with life, it is never the less a great song. 'Black letter day' is a slightly sad but lovely sounding song. My least favourite song is 'Sabbath bloody Sabbath' only because I always believe, if you can't do a song as good or better than the original then don't do it at all. All in all this is a very good album with some lovely melodies. their debut album "Emmerdale" (1994) gave them a solid base in their home country and enjoyed some success abroad, especially in Japan. But it wasn't until their breakthrough second album "Life" (1995) that international audiences and critics responded.

Rise & Shine (Download)

"Rise and Shine" is a pop song The Cardigans. It was released as their debut single from their debut 1994 album Emmerdale. It was later re-recorded for their second album Life and was re-released throughout Europe to promote the international version of the album. The rest of 1994 was spent touring Europe and recording "Life", which was released worldwide in 1995. "Life" became an international success, selling more than a million copies and achieving platinum status in Japan. In 1996 "Life" was released under the label Minty Fresh in the U.S., but this release was essentially a compilation of tracks from "Emmerdale" and "Life". "Life" was perhaps a satirical riposte to the first album, and saw the band move in a more avant-garde direction in terms of arrangements and artwork...

Gin Blossoms - Hey Jealousy

Gin Blossoms is an alternative rock band formed in 1987, in Tempe, Arizona. Members during the band's early years included guitarist and songwriter Doug Hopkins, bassist Bill Leen, vocalist Robin Wilson, guitarist Richard Taylor, drummer Chris McCann, McCann's replacement Dan Henzerling, and Taylor's replacement Jesse Valenzuela. They took their name from a photo of W.C. Fields which bore the caption "W.C. Fields with gin blossoms," referring to the actor's gin-ravaged nose. During their early years, the Gin Blossoms became well-known locally around their hometown of Tempe, Arizona. With the band's frequent touring and resulting increase in popularity, the Blossoms also independently recorded their first full-length album, Dusted. By the early 1990s, the lineup had changed to Leen on bass, Hopkins on guitar, Valenzuela on guitar and vocals, Wilson on vocals and acoustic guitar, and Phillip Rhodes on drums. After being signed with A&M Records, the band began to work on their debut album. Initial attempts to create a major-label record faltered and the band released an EP, Up and Crumbling, instead.

Gin Blossoms - Hey Jealousy

Reflecting on the unpleasant new experience of life in a band under a major record label, Gin Blossoms named their first full-length studio album "New Miserable Experience". In February 1992, while still working to complete it, founding member and lead guitarist/songwriter Doug Hopkins drank heavily and grew increasingly stubborn and disillusioned with the process. The album was completed and the first single released from it was Hopkins' song "Hey Jealousy". It would reach #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #4 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks, largely fuelling the success of New Miserable Experience. However, When the band recorded its debut album New Miserable Experience in February 1992, it was reported that Hopkins was unable to stand during his recording sessions. Faced with the prospect of firing Hopkins or being dropped by A&M, the band terminated Hopkins. Doused in aftershave and mouthwash to cover the effects of his days-long drinking binge, he was flown back to Arizona. He was replaced by Scott Johnson. As a result, the band withheld $15,000 owed to Hopkins until he agreed to sign over half of his publishing royalties. The following year, another song penned by Hopkin's, "Found Out About You", would also reach #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 and climb to #1 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks. As the Gin Blossoms experienced mounting success, performing songs he had written, Hopkins became increasingly despondent. Though he had always dreamed of having a gold record, when he received one for the song "Hey Jealousy", he hung it up for two weeks before taking it down and then destroying it. Nine days later, during an intake consultation in the detox unit of Phoenix's St. Luke's Hospital, Hopkins sneaked out and bought a .38 caliber pistol. The next day, December 4, 1993 Hopkins committed suicide. At his memorial service, Wilson recalls, a woman approached his former band members with a message from Hopkins upon his death: he was the one who had poured sugar in the gas tank of their tour van in 1992.

I wanna be with you...

Amanda Leigh Moore was born on April 10, 1984. Mandy Moore is an American singer–songwriter, actress and fashion designer. She grew up in Florida. Moore became famous as a teenager in the late 1990s, after the release of her teen-oriented pop albums "So Real, I wanna be with you, and Mandy Moore". Moore subsequently branched out into a film career, starring in 2002's "A Walk to Remember" and later appearing in the lead roles of other movies, such as Chasing Liberty, also aimed at teenage audiences. Two of Moore's later films, American Dreamz and Saved!, were satires. Her private life, including her relationships with tennis player Andy Roddick as well as with actors Wilmer Valderrama and Zach Braff became the subject of much discussion in the media. Her most recent album as of September 2009, Amanda Leigh, was released on May 26, 2009. Mandy Moore has sold more than 10 million records worldwide.

"I wanna be with you" is the second album from pop singer Mandy Moore. It was released in May 2000 when she was sixteen years old, six months after her debut album. The album contained several new songs and a few remixes from her previous album "So Real". It peaked at number twenty-one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and reached gold status in the U.S. Some criticized the album as merely a remix album containing little new material. The title track, "I wanna be with you", was the only single to chart and reached number twenty-four on the Hot 100 in the U.S., Moore's highest peak to date. Epic re-released the single "Walk Me Home", but it again failed to make an impact on the charts. The album has sold over 805,000 copies in the United States and over 2.5 million worldwide. I Wanna Be With You was the international version of her debut So Real (which was only released in a few countries), including a mix of her debut and the new songs included on this album.

Cathy Dennis - Waterloo sunset

Cathy Dennis (born Catherine Roseanne Dennis, 25 March 1969, Norwich, England) is a British dance-oriented pop singer–songwriter, record producer and actress. After a moderately successful international solo career, Dennis later received great success as a writer of pop songs, scoring seven UK number ones and winning five Ivor Novello Awards. As a teenager she was spotted recording Stevie Wonder-influenced demos at The Kitchen in Norwich with her father (himself an experienced musician and local restaurateur) on piano. At the time she was working for Norwich Union. Simon Fuller signed her to his 19 Management company (with whom she is still signed) and to label Polydor at aged 17, and this began a career-long association with the impresario that has seen Dennis provide songs for many Fuller-related artists and projects. In 2004, Dennis was listed 66th in the Q Magazine list of the top 100 most influential people in music and in 2006 she won the UK music industry's Woman of the Year Award. According to britishhitsongwriters.com she is the ninety-ninth most successful songwriter in UK singles chart history based on weeks that her compositions have spent on the chart. "Waterloo Sunset" is a song released as a single by The Kinks in 1967, a 1996 version of the song by Cathy Dennis. The lyrics are from the point of view of a solitary man on the south bank of the Thames watching (or imagining) the romantic encounters of a couple at Waterloo Underground, then crossing Waterloo Bridge, The couple - "Terry" and "Julie" - mentioned in the lyrics are widely reported and presumed as being British film stars of the time Terence Stamp and Julie Christie...

Dirty old river must you keep rolling, flowing into the night
People so busy make me feel dizzy, Taxi lights shine so bright
But I don't...need no friends
As long as I gaze at Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise...Sha la la

Every day I look at the world from my window...Sha la la
Jelly jellys in evening time...Waterloo sunset's fine

Terry meets Julie, Waterloo station, Every Friday night
But I am so lazy, I don't want to wonder, I'll stay at home at night
But I don't...Feel afraid
As long as I gaze at Waterloo sunset
I am in paradise...Sha la la

Every day I look at the world from my window...Sha la la
Jelly jellys in evening time...Waterloo sunset's fine

Millions of people, Swarming like flies round, Waterloo underground
Terry and Julie, cross over the river, where everything's safe and sound
And they don't...need no friends
As long as they gaze up Waterloo sunset
They are in paradise

Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine
Waterloo sunset's fine...

Liz Phair... Queen of Indie-rock

Elizabeth Clark "Liz" Phair (born April 17, 1967) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist. Phair began her career in the early 1990's by self-releasing lo-fi audio cassettes under the moniker Girly Sound, before signing with Matador Records and becoming one of the leading artists of the 1990s DIY indie rock underground. In 2003, Phair's fourth album, Liz Phair, was released on her new label, Capitol Records and her music began to move in a more pop rock-oriented approach which resulted in a fan and media backlash. Her signature guitar, which she is often seen playing (and is prominent upon the cover of her self-titled fourth album), is a Fender Duo-Sonic II. Her album Exile in Guyville was chosen as one of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Phair was born in New Haven, Connecticut, but was raised in Winnetka, Illinois by wealthy adoptive parents. She graduated from New Trier High School in 1985. During high school, Phair was involved in student government, yearbook, and the cross country team, and took AP Studio Art her senior year among many other advanced-level classes. She attended Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, and majored in art history. Phair's entry into the music industry began when she met guitarist Chris Brokaw, a member of the band Come. Brokaw and Phair moved to San Francisco together, and Phair tried to become an artist there. After moving back to Chicago, Phair began writing songs and recording homemade tapes under the name Girly Sound, and supported herself by selling her charcoal drawings on the streets of Wicker Park. She became part of the alternative music scene in Chicago and became friends with Material Issue and Urge Overkill, two of Chicago's upstart bands to go national in the early 1990s, as well as Brad Wood and John Henderson, head of Feel Good All Over, an independent label in Chicago. (A later attempt at re-recording the Girly Sound tapes failed after arguments between Henderson and Phair.)

Hoping to capitalize on the acclaim for her debut album, the release of Phair's second album received substantial media attention and an advertising blitz. Whip-Smart debuted at #27 in 1994 and "Supernova", the first single, became a Top Ten modern rock hit, and the video was frequently featured on MTV. Phair also landed the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine with the headline "A Rock Star is Born." Nonetheless, the album received mixed reviews, and although it was certified Gold. Phair's third album, entitled "whitechocolatespaceegg", was finally released in 1998 after some delays, which included a disagreement about content; at one point, the label rejected the album as submitted, and asked Phair to write a few additional radio-friendly songs for the set. The album displayed a more mature Phair, and reflected some of the ways marriage and motherhood affected her. The single "Polyester Bride" received some airplay, but the album was no more successful than her previous records. To promote the record Phair joined the now legendary Lilith Fair. Phair performed on the main stage along with acts like Alanis Morissette, Sarah McLachlan, Emmylou Harris, Sheryl Crow and Missy Elliott.

In 2003, her self-titled fourth album was released on her new label, Capitol Records, Phair had not released an album in several years; she had been working on her record, as well as making guest appearances on other tracks, The debut single "Why Can't I?", co-written by The Matrix, did reach the Top 40 charts in North America, and its follow-up, "Extraordinary," was also somewhat successful: it appeared on the soundtrack to the 2004 movie Raising Helen and was the promotional theme for the 2004 Women's NCAA Basketball Tournament; in March 2007, the song began appearing in Gatorade television advertisements. Phair continued to flirt with sexually explicit themes, however, as was most evident in a track called "H.W.C.", standing for "Hot White Cum".

Somebody's Miracle is the fifth album by Liz Phair, released on October 4, 2005 (see 2005 in music) on Capitol Records. From September 2004 through April 2005, she composed fourteen tracks spanning from lo-fi guitar-driven to high-gloss produced tracks. Much like her debut album, Exile in Guyville, Somebody's Miracle was originally modeled after another canonical album, "Songs in the key of Life" by Stevie Wonder, though only elements of this exist in the final product. The first single, "Everything to me" was released to radio on August 1, 2005. At an estimated 84,000 copies, Somebody's Miracle remains Phair's lowest selling LP to date. The album features a softer side of Phair, with themes of innocence, loss, and love. Many critics and fans accused Phair of having lost her edge. Phair responded to backlash by saying, "If you are an old fan and it doesn't fit what you need, don't buy the disc." Prior to the album's release, Phair embarked on a short acoustic tour where she played in smaller venues, bars, and clubs. After the album's release, she and her band went on a more extensive tour playing at larger venues...

Belinda...Leave a light on...

My story begins in 1991. It all started when I saw her video to "Leave a light on" on earlier RCTI Program "Hollywood Top 10 Charts" and I was enchanted from that point onwards. What this meant for me is that my (then) non-existent music interest started and I had a focal point in my life which was crucially different to the rest of my peers. There was nothing wrong with the music I was listening to at the time (indeed, the music at that time, heavy rock - I still listen to now), but the important point from my point of view was that Belinda was unique to me from within my peer group. Belinda Jo Carlisle (born August 17, 1958, real name: Belinda Kurczesky) is a Grammy Award-nominated American singer. Carlisle is the lead vocalist and a founding member of the groundbreaking all-female new wave band The Go-Go's, and also a successful solo artist. During her career, The Go-Go's became one of the most successful American bands of the early '80s, The Go-Go's broke up in 1985, and Carlisle embarked on a solo career...(from Wikipedia)

Take my hand...Tell me what you are feeling
Understand...This is just the beginning
Although I have to go
It makes me feel like crying
I dont know when I'll see you again

Darling leave a light on for me
I'll be there before you close the door
To give you all the love that you need
Darling leave a light on for me
cause when the world takes me away
You are still the air that I breathe

I can't explain I don't know
Just how far I have to go
But darling I'll keep the key
Just leave a light on for me

Yes I know...What I'm asking is crazy
You could go...Just get tired of waiting
But if I lose your love
Torn out by my desire
That would be the one regret of my life

Darling leave a light on for me
I'll be there before you close the door
To give you all the love that you need
Darling leave a light on for me
cause when the world takes me away
You are still the air that I breathe

I can't explain I don't know
Just how far I have to go
But darling I'll keep the key
Just leave a light on for me

Just like a spark lights up the dark
Baby that's your heart...

Come on feel The Lemonheads...

Evan Dando, Ben Deily and Jesse Peretz formed the Lemonheads as teenagers at the Commonwealth School in Boston around 1986. The and was originally called the Whelps until inspiration came from a brand of candy, which Dando noted was "sweet on the inside and sour on the outside," possibly a metaphor for the band's sound. The band recorded and self-relesaed the 7" EP "Laughing all the way to the Cleaners".

After high school, Dando enrolled at Skidmore College but couldn't maintain his grades and dropped out to pursue a musical career. Having signed to local label Taang! Records, the Lemonheads released the albums "Hate your friends" (1987), "Creator "(1988), and "Lick" (1989) with Deily and Dando sharing lead vocals and songwriting duties. The band enjoyed a good deal of college radio airplay and were popular in the burgeoning indie rock scene, up until Deily left the band in 1989. Dando then recruited David Ryan on drums, signed to major label Atlantic Records, and produced the album "Lovey" in 1990. Straddling punk rock, country music and heavy metal, Lovey album was released a year before the commercial explosion of grunge and did not sell well by mainstream standards—roughly 30,000 copies. ...

Evan Dando cut his losses and flew to Australia to write some songs with friends Nic Dalton and Tom Morgan.

The Lemonheads' popularity grew in 1992 with the album "it's a Shame about Ray", followed by a cover of Simon and Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson", which eventually became one of the band's most successful singles. The band officially renamed themselves from "Lemonheads" to "The Lemonheads" prior to the release of the "Come on Feel the Lemonheads" LP. A huge breakthrough single still eluded the band as they released "Come on Feel the Lemonheads" in late 1993. This was a successful album but paved the way for future madness with tracks like "it's about time" and "The Great big no" The band enjoyed modest mainstream success.

Evan Dando famously befriended Oasis and appeared at the band's live shows. The cracks were beginning to show, and after one particularly disjointed interview where Dando (not being able to speak, having lost his voice after smoking crack cocaine) admitted to having a drugs problem. he was no longer viewed as the "Slacker Sex Kitten" of the previous year... and in 1996, Dando re-formed The Lemonheads, featuring old friends John Strohm Murph (ex-Dinosaur Jr), as well as Ken Lyons of 38 Special. This band produced another Lemonheads album, "Car Button Cloth". While featuring jangly guitar songs such as "If I could talk I'd tell you," this set also showed off the darker side of Dando's writing: "Break me" and "Losing your mind" suggested that all was not well with Dando.

Band leader Evan Dando later saw the actual line "It's a shame about Ray" in a Sydney newspaper article about something that happened to a child named Ray. "It's a shame about Ray" was a big international hit for the band, as well as a #5 hit on the Modern Rock Tracks chart in America...(from wikipedia)

She attended school at St. Stephen's School and later Godolphin and Latymer School in Hammersmith. Among her earliest public performances were with the W11 Opera children's opera from the age of thirteen, and she is now a patron of the organisation.

Ellis-Bextor began her musical career in 1997, with an indie band called The Audience. She sang the lead vocal in the band. While she was a band member, readers of Melody Maker elected her to the Number 1 position among the 'most sexy people in rock'. She recorded a duet with Manic Street Preachers—Black Holes for the Young—as a B-side for their 1998 single The Everlasting. Several songs released by theaudience are I Got the Wherewithal, If You Can't Do It When You're Young; When Can You Do It?, I Know Enough (I Don't Get Enough), and A Pessimist Is Never Disappointed (perhaps their best-known single). The band split in December 1998. In 1999 Ellis-Bextor made an appearance on the Departure Lounge album Out Of Here. After The Audience split, Ellis-Bextor took a year off from singing. In 2000, Ellis-Bextor collaborated with Italian DJ Spiller on adding vocals to his then-instrumental club track "Groovejet", her first recorded work since that with theaudience. "Groovejet (If this ain't love)" entered the U.K. charts at No. 1, just beating former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham on her first solo outing to the top spot. Since then, the two have been described as rivals. Both women deny, however, that there is any rivalry between the two of them. "Groovejet" won several awards: No. 1, Pop Top 20; No. 1, ILR; No. 1, Radio 1; No. 8, top dance track of 2000 and single of the year in Melody Maker. In the Metro Newspaper, it received ninth place in the contest for the Greatest No. 1 of all time, beating even Madonna. In 2000, it was a finalist in The Record of the Year. In that same year, it won the awards for Best Single and Best Ibiza Tune at the Ericsson Muzik Awards.

"Music gets the best of me" is a song by Sophie Ellis-Bextor released in 2002, from her first solo album, Read my lips, although it was only included upon the re-released edition of the album. Although most of her fans like this song, it did not do so well on the charts. Her first three singles went straight into the top 3, where "Music gets the best of me" only made it as high as #14 on the UK charts (but it managed to peak at #4 on the World Chart in 2003). It was also poorly charted in the ARIA charts too. This is most likely because Read My Lips had gone platinum by then..... "Music gets the best of me" also has two different music videos. One is the original version, the version that was released to TV and the other one is an alternate version. Both are available on her DVD "Watch my lips". The first video shows clips of Sophie having fun in the sun. We see her swimming, tanning and just enjoying her time. Later near the end of the video, we see Sophie having fun at a carnival. During most of the video, we see her with headphones showing that she's enjoying her music. The alternative version of "Music gets the best of me" shows Sophie going into a dinner party where she is not invited. She then puts in a CD, and starts to sing and goes from place to place. It then ends by her saying that she had a fun time at the party, and leaving. Both videos were directed by Sophie Muller.

Maybe I've forgotten
The name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known
It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day
It's the school exam
The kids have run away

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day, that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart
I was upset, you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now, you are mine

I wouldn't even trust you
I've not got much to give
We're dealing in the limits
And we don't know who with
You may think that I'm out of hand
That I'm naive, I'll understand
On this occasion it's not true
Look at me, I'm not you

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day, that would be a start
I would not complain of my wounded heart
I was a short fuse
Burning all the time
You were a complete stranger
Now, you are mine

I would like a place I could call my own
Have a conversation on the telephone
Wake up every day, that would be a start
I would not complain about my wounded heart

Just wait 'til tomorrow
I guess that's what they all say
Just before they fall apart...

Brainstorm... take me away from the norm
I got to tell you something... this phenomenon
I had to put it in a song... and it goes like

Chorus:
Whoa... Amber is the color of your energy
Whoa... shades of gold displayed naturally...

You ought to know what brings me here
You glide through my head blind to fear
And I know why...

(Chorus 2x)

You live too far away
Your voice rings like a bell anyway
Don't give up your independence
Unless it feels so right
Nothing good comes easily
Sometimes you gotta fight...

(Chorus)

Launched a thousand ships in my heart
So easy, still it's fine from afar
And you know that...

Whoa, brainstorm take me away from the norm
Whoa, I got to tell you something...

Every time I think of you
I get a shot right through
Into a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living the life that I can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
And every day my confusion grows
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You say the words that I can't say
I feel fine and I feel good
I feel like I never should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say
Every time I see you falling
I'll get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say...

Natalie Imbruglia - Wrong impression (edit)

Sebenarnya lagu ini bukan dari generasi 90an, karena "wrong impression" sendiri baru dirilis pada 29 Januari 2002 di US, namun ada yang istimewa dari video ini, kalau diantara kalian pernah melihat atau mempunyai video klip yang seperti ini, tampak adanya perbedaan dengan video klip hasil editan saya dibawah ini....durasi video ini lebih panjang daripada yang aslinya....jujur pertama kali saya melihat video originalnya. saya sedikit kecewa karena ada bagian melodinya yang saya sangat sukai sengaja dihilangkan, mungkin dengan alasan cuma untuk keperluan promo...akhirnya saya edit ulang video ini dengan menambah beberapa frame dari sesi "behind the scene" pembuatan video tersebut, lalu digabungkan dengan sound MP3 192kbps, walaupun kualitas gambar videonya pas-pasan, namun kualitas soundnya lumayan dan saya cukup puas dengan hasil editan saya ini....

Calling out, calling out...haven't you wondered
Why I'm always alone, when you're in my dreams
Calling out, calling out...haven't you wondered
Why you're finding it hard, just looking at me

I want you....but I want you to understand
I leave you.....I love you.....

Didn't want to leave you, with the wrong impression
Didn't want to leave you, with my last confession
Yeah! .....Of love
Wasn't trying to pull you, in the wrong direction
All I wanna do is try and make a connection
Yeah!.....Of love

Falling out, falling out...haven't you ever wondered
If this was ever more, than a crazy idea
Falling out, falling out...haven't you ever wondered
What we could've been, if you'd only let me in

I want you....but I want you to understand
I miss you.....I love you.....

Didn't want to leave you, with the wrong impression
Didn't want to leave you, with my last confession
Yeah! .....Of love
Wasn't trying to pull you, in the wrong direction
All I wanna do is try and make a connection
Yeah!.....Of love.....haven't you ever wondered...

I need you
I love you.... (back to reff)

"Wrong Impression" is the second single released from the album White Lilies Island by Natalie Imbruglia. This single had a better reception compared to the first single from White Lilies Island, "That Day". Still, it wasn't as successful as the songs from Left of the Middle but it reached #10 in the UK. Also worth noting is that "Wrong Impression" received radio airplay in the US, not much but enough to propel it into #64 in the Hot 100 Billboard charts. In Australia, the song was a radio hit, but did not do very well in sales - only reaching #33. "Wrong Impression" had the 39th place on RIANZ's New Zealand Top 50 Singles of 2002 chart.

St Etienne - He's on the phone

"He's on the Phone" is a song by British pop group Saint Etienne in collaboration with French singer-songwriter Étienne Daho. A fast-paced Eurodance track, it is one of Saint Etienne's biggest hits, reaching #11 on the UK Singles Chart. The lyrics tell of an "academia girl" trying to escape from a relationship with a married man: "He's on the phone / And she wants to go home, / Shoes in hand, / Don't make a sound, / It's time to go." At the centre of the track is a spoken-word section by Daho.

The song is a remix by Motiv8 of "Accident", which appeared on the Saint Etienne/Étienne Daho Reserection EP, released a few months previously in June, 1995. "Accident" itself is a rewritten version of Daho's 1984 French-language hit single "Weekend à Rome", with original English lyrics. Daho's spoken-word vocals are from the Reserection opening track, "Reserection". the single was credited to "Saint Etienne featuring Étienne Daho". Daho also appears in the song's music video and joined the band in their performance of the song on Top of the Pops. Daho would also go on to perform the original "Weekend à Rome" lyrics with the instrumentation from "He's on the Phone" in a performance on the French edition of Star Academy. Spanish pop singer Princessa covered the song on her 1996 album Calling You.

According to producer Steve Rodway, the band had never intended to use "Accident" as single material, but had given it to him for remixing as it was "the only new track they had" at the time of the release of Too Young to Die. Rodway retained an edited-down portion of Daho's vocals, and otherwise only kept the opening piano riff from the original instrumentation (both at the band's request).

Sound on Sound magazine describes "He's on the Phone" as characteristic of most of Rodway's "trademark" sounds:
“ ...the bass is a sampled Minimoog, and the driving arpeggios are taken from Steve's Juno 106. The rhythm is again composed of TR909 samples, overlaid with a programmed conga pattern, and the snare only performs fill duties... The high string line is once again from the U220, and pads are supplied by the faithful Wavestation and JD800. ”

A hard disk recorder was used to create backing vocals echoing the original through time stretching and pitch shifting... (from Wikipedia)

Eddie Brickell - Goodtimes

One of the songs in the 90's memories, there was the classic old dial up internet, good cartoons, movies, music, sex, drugs, culture, tv, etc. that's the best God damn decade ever. I wish it was still the 90's...

You don't even have to try
It comes easy for you
The way you move is so appealing
It could make me cry
Go out driving with my friends
In bobby's big old beat up car
I'm with a lot of people then
I wonder where you are

Good times, bad times, give me some of that...

I don't want to say goodbye
Don't want to walk you to the door
I spend a little time with you
I want a little more

Good times, bad times, give me some of that...

The group are also very popular in Japan. although Swing Out Sister are currently a duo, they began as a trio in the UK. the group was formed by Andy Connell (keyboards) and Martin Jackson (drums), and were later joined by Corinne Drewery (vocals). the name came from a 1945 movie starring Arthur Treacher, called Swing Out, Sister, and they claim they chose the name because it was the only thing the band could agree on, in that they all hated it. Both Connell and Jackson had been playing in other bands prior to forming SOS, while Drewery was actually a fashion designer and model before she became the band's lead vocalist.....(from wikipedia)

Make it fast, make is slow,
But it won't soften the blow
When it's time to go
May be old, may be scared
But you'll never be prepared
for that final blow

Better use your wits or you'll lose your mind...
There's a world to discover and you're running out of time
Life's a roller coaster ride
That took you by surprise
Now you're burnin' up inside

Better make it better,
Better make it better,
Better make it better,
'cause time is running out fast...make it last...

You can scream you can shout,
But when your time runs out
Deep inside you'll know
May be rich, may be poor,
But when you knock at Heaven's door,
Well you have to go

Make the most of what you've got
For it's better than to not have anything at all.
Take each day as it's your last
Or you'll find the future's passed and you're left with nothing at all

Better make it better,
Better make it better,
Better make it better,
'cause time is running out fast...make it last...

Cherish everyday each hour each and every single minute
There's no second chance to turn when they start again living your life...

Better make it better,
Better make it better,
Better make it better,
'cause time is running out fast...make it last...

Better make it better,
Better make it better,
Better make it better,
'cause time is running out fast...make it last...
