JANE CLIFTON - GIRL IN THE MIRROR (Lost Hit)

Hello and welcome back..... Lead singer from the Australian Band "Jo Jo Zepp & the Falcons" (think Taxi Mary) & the "Stiletto's", Jane Clifton was also know for her stint on TV series "Prisoner" (Margo Gaffney).
I love this song, its got gritty, slap in the face lyrics, She may be big-bottomed,short-legged & her nose is out of place...perhaps may not look like the girl on the wall...at all. Excellent song.

Hello and welcome back.....Ok, so its not 80s...But it does have a Synthesizer in it so we're half way there. This blokes voice blows me away, every time I hear it...U.K singer / songwriter "Passenger" - Let Her Go....I remain speechless.

PASSENGER - LET HER GO  (Thanks to Passengermusic for the video)


Sometimes I find it hard to listen to this song without a tear in my eye, Its just Beautiful....But, Thats me.

                                                                LET HER GO
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you’re missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast

You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast

Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh)
And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh)
Well you let her go

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

ALISON MOYET - WHEN I WAS YOUR GIRL (New Music)

Hello and welcome back......Due for release back in Feb 2012, Alison Moyet's ( Yazoo, Yaz) new album "The Minutes" was put on hold, Change record company, and now due for release on 6th May (U.K) - 11 June (U.S) 2013.

"When I was Your Girl" is the new single from this album and was released in April 2013.... It also features Alison's daughter in the video.

Its great to hear Alison's remarkable voice that time has not changed..... although the song has a dark undertone, not like anything Yazoo or Alison's earlier work, she has matured and it shows in her music giving her a more raw sound.....I like it, It suits her.

Awesome song, welcome back Alison.

Hi everyone:

I’m so happy to announce today that my new dance single, “Sun”, which is my first pop release here in the U.S. in over 15 years, will be released on March 19th!

When I first heard “Sun”, I immediately knew I had to record it. It’s the best song I’ve recorded since “Heaven Is A Place on Earth”, and I’m really excited for everyone to hear it!

The song will be available for download as a single on iTunes, as well as part of the brand new “Belinda Carlisle – ICON” album which will be released online and in stores by Universal Music on the same day, which will include my top solo hits from over the last 27 years!

I’m so grateful for all the support my fans have given me so far, and I can’t wait to kick off this new adventure! Will keep you updated as we get closer to the release.

For now, thanks for the support, and let’s get the news out there!

Love,
Belinda xx
