I'm not even vaguely familiar with the rest of her work other than "You Gotta Be". But this song levels me every time. I forget about it a lot cuz I don't own anything by her. Does anyone know this one? It's in the movie "Romeo & Juliet". I think part of the emotion behind it comes from the scene it's in. It's that amazing part where Claire Danes and Leo are finding eachother at that ecstasy costume party looking through the fish tank. Surreal! If you don't know this song, check it out.

she also did a cover of Burce Springsteen's "Fire" as a duet with Babyface in the later 90's for some movie.

I love "Kissing You." It's a great love-making song. Des'ree also was TTD's duet partner on "Delicate," which is one of my all time favorite songs.

Awwww

PURRRRR

THAT song and Kissing You....



I remember all the British soul diva's poppin up and then resurfacing. Where is Mica Paris?
At least Des'ree is still at it.

Nice picture gooey
Yeah, Delicate is such a beautiful song :

Delicate (from TTD's "Symphony Or Damn"):
Delicate like rain
Delicate like snow
Delicate like birds
Delicate just so
Delicate like air
Delicate like breeze
Delicate like you and me

A delicate advance
A delicate retreat
Delicately planned
Delicate like peace
Delicate like a touch
That's delicately brief
Delicate like you and me

Delicate like trinkets on her bracelet
(Like trinkets on her bracelet)
Delicate like a bracelet on your arm
(Like a bracelet on your arm)
Delicate like sweet arms around me
(Your sweet arms around me)
Delicate like me on top of you

Delicate like words
Delicate how time
So delicately runs
Then delicately dies
Delicate how eyes
So delicately breathe
Delicate like you my dear
Delicate like me my love
Delicate like you and
Delicate like me and
Delicate like
Delicate like you and me

lawl,your avatar looks tough.

Christopher said:

It is! So you better watch out!

Just wondering, do you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour?

Absolutely adore this song, brings me near tears every single time I hear it. Something about the quality of her voice & the way she sustains the notes... I dunno, I just dig it way too much...

Same here. I just put it on a mix disc and it sits very nicely between "Silver Tongue" and "Simple" by kd lang.

GangstaFam said:

lol

"Tell me now bob....i need to know"


omg

bitch,im fucking talking to you man!"

i watched that again a week or so ago.still a great flick!

GangstaFam said:

Yea, I have it on a mix too - lots of sparse, (mostly) piano based songs. Falls between Maxwell (This Woman's Work) & Brian McNight (Never Felt This Way)...

Christopher said:

The best ever! If I ever come back as me, we still need to do the Freeway thread.

"I'd put out for you anytime, Mesquita."

"Shit. I only do that in lock-up."

GangstaFam said:

"You & yerrr skipper wiiiife!" LOVE the shit outta that movie

"Sex-o!"

"He was gon' kill me & do sex to me!" (or something like that, lol)...

CalhounSq said:

I LOVE THIS SONG.....

after watching the film the emotion in the song kinda gets you,

might have to watch it later now....

GangstaFam said:

I love that scene. I had her first 2 cds, but sold them to a used store. I just couldn't get totally into them. But I did make an mp3 copy of "You Gotta Be" and I have the Romeo and Juliet soundtracks.

I love this song and "Gotta Be". The Romeo and Juliet albums were pretty good. What did ya'll think about the remake of "When Doves Cry" on the other disk?

I was just gonna mention that now that I thought about the movie. I like that version of "When Doves Cry", but it is, by no means, the original.
