My song of the day: "You gotta be" by Des`ree You know how there are certain songs that can make you smile... 
This song does it for me, "you gotta be" by Des`ree. You gotta be You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold You gotta be wiser, you gotta be hard You gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm You gotta stay together All I know, all I know, love will save the day  | |

It's sort of a running joke in the UK. It's been re-re-re-released so many times, and appears to be a B-side to all her other singles  | |

I don`t know. Her last single that i know of was "it`s okay" from 2003, and it`s a great song.  | |

I know, it`s not exactly hard to find... "Life" is a good song too, but "you gotta be" is her signature song.  | |

'Life' is an even bigger joke here. People always remember the stupid lyrics
Personally I've always been a big fan of 'Feels So High' and ashamedly 'What's Your Sign' | |

Yes, it`s the message that makes this song so special 
It`s such an ispiring song, and that`s what i like about Des`ree, look at the lyric for it`s okay. Sun is up should be feeling great, your feeling rough got too much on your plate, a busy day got a lot to do, a heavy head you think you've caught the flu. Something deep inside begins to stir, spirit, conscience your not really sure. It's gonna be okay... It's gonna be okay... Another day your late for work, the shower's cold you ain't got no clean shirt. A cup of tea just might do the trick, the milk's gone off by now feeling sick. Something deep inside begins to stir, spirit, conscience your not really sure. It's gonna be okay... It's gonna be okay... We laughed, we cried, we shared along the way, we did some things we knew we shouldn't do. So after all what's this life living for, work it out or head straight for the door It's gonna be okay...either way It's gonna be okay... You close your eyes, try to sleep. Scold yourself for hours that you keep. Drifting off will I dream tonight? In my dreams perhaps I'll get it right. Something deep inside begins to purrr, spirit, conscience your not really sure. It's gonna be okay... It's gonna be okay...either way It's gonna be okay...  | |

I read somewhere that her idea of fun was fingering herself while watching QVT? true or wha? "Art calls for complete mastery of techniques, developed by reflection within the soul."

I remember when this song first came out and it was called Love Will Save the Day. When I tell people that, they look at me like I'm crazy, but I can remember seeing that title written in the corner of the screen when the video was played. | |

I didn`t knew that, but i guess it makes sense. I still like "you gotta be" better though. How do you like the song? | |

I'm afraid of the dark Especially when I'm in a park And there's no one else around, Oh I get the shivers. I don't want to see a ghost, It's the sight that I fear most I'd rather have a piece of toast And watch the evening news. Life, oh life! Oh life! Oh life! doo, Doot doot dooo... Life, oh life! Oh life! Oh life! doo doot doo | |

I always thought "Gotta Be" sounded like a women's deodorant commercial. | |

The second bajillion I couldn't stand it. It's ripe for inclusion in a Lifetime made for TV movie though: You Gotta Be: The Susan Anton Story ... [Edited 12/7/05 6:10am] | |

This is probably the only place i can get compliments for my musical taste Feels good to discuss music with people who actually know who someone like Anita Baker is. I don`t know anyone in real life who have even heard the name before!! | |
