Sorry, Ernest! Didn't see your post of Glam Life before I posted...but I had to post this because I was that close to the stage...but the sound doesn't nearly equal on a You Tube video what happened that night! Truly magical!

Doesn't matter. Not a contest or anything - just everyone loving on, and sharing, Sheila E.

Wow, Brownmark looks way younger than I expected. I hope Sheila´s CD will be officially available soon, and not just sold at concerts.

Great job, Poetcorner, on the lyrics. I made a couple changes based on what I believe I'm hearing. See if you agree.

Time stands still for no one

Time won't wait for me

Seeds are slowly planted

Underneath my tree

Quickly water washes

The dark gray clouds away

The sun is sure to rise

At the start of the day

Paint a portrait of your life

And what you will see

Colors of the rainbow

Shines for you and me

Walking on the waters of life

We are...

Dancing on the wings of my mind

Moving like the speed of light

All things work together

It'll be all right

All right

Walking on the waters of life

Can you feel the power

From the rhythm of my heart?

The angels smiled in heaven

From the very start

Fragrance of the flower

The color of its skin

Your eyes forever mine

Your love is deep within

Paint a portrait of your life

And what you will see

Colors of the rainbow

Shines for you and me

Walking on the waters of life

We are...

Dancing on the wings of my mind

Moving like the speed of light

All things work together

It'll be all right

All right

Walking on the waters of life

Here we are right

Where we're supposed to be

Galaxy of stars

One place for us to see

Told the story

How a rainbow...(be?)

We fly...

While walking on

The Waters of Life

Walking on the waters of life

We are...

Dancing on the wings of my mind

Moving like the speed of light

All things work together

It'll be all right

All right

Walking on the waters of life...

Walk with me!

Walk with me!

Walk with me!

I put on the portable CD player with headphones...and I hear what you hear! Your changes are right on the mark! What do you think of this song? I am totally in love with it after several listenings.

Honestly, I've only listened to the song a few times over the past couple years. I like the guitar work a lot, and I love the idea of Sheila taking a harder edge in her music, especially since it's with an all-female band. But all that said, I kept waiting for the song to "grab" me, and it didn't.

I'm going to relisten a few times with my best attempt at fresh ears and see if I start to appreciate it more.

She was selling a CD at the show?!?! What was it?

Thanks for the reviews, you guys. I'm totally bummed I missed it.

Leader of the Band (Prince-penned)

Mona Lisa

Glorious Train

Waters of Life

Trust me

It's now a month later and there's still no news on how people can buy this CD.

Sheesh...

Can someone point Sheila to http://kunaki.com/ , please?

I commented on another thread with my thoughts. Basically same... one of the BEST concerts EVER!

The song Prince wrote for her was Leader of the Band. It's on the CD she was selling. It sounds great on record too.

What price was that CD?

Because $15 for three songs is beyond ridiculous:

The CD at the show has more songs. i'm out of the country now so don't have it on me. it was $20 or $25 at the show but Sheila would sign it for you. I didn't wait in the line to do that but I was happy to buy it as a souvenir anyway.

'Waters of Life' was a single released by Sheila's group project C.O.E.D. with Rhonda Smith, Candy Dulfer and a couple other ladies.
