![]() Sing and Dance (2002) [ larger cover art ] |
Not very often have we met
But the music's been too bad
Can only sense happiness
if the music is sad
So, I'm going home
I must hurry home
Where a life goes on
We're too old to make a mess
Dreams will keep me young
Old enough to stress
Only mirrors tell the time
So, I'm going home
I must hurry home
So will my life go on
Yes, I'm going home
Going home alone
And your life goes on

| grant | Posted: Apr 26, 2013 - 13:47 I love Sophie Zelmani. I also think she sings beautifully. |
| kdarwish (Turku, Finland) | Posted: Mar 26, 2013 - 02:11 Super quality voice, the music is fine enough, but would love to hear an a cappella rendition. |
| BazH | Posted: Jan 25, 2013 - 05:31 Great song, first one of hers I ever heard, prefer some of her other ones now though. |

You're right, that's what I first thought it was going to be. Still I like the sound of it and think it's worth keeping in the lineup. ![]() |

| AndreasL (Calden, Germany) | Posted: Jun 22, 2011 - 13:56 Not one of her bests but okay, like Sophie |
| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Jun 02, 2011 - 15:58 For some weird reason, I have Claudine Longet (Andy Williams' ex-wife) on my MP3 player singing "God Only Knows", and this reminded me of her voice. Do with this what you will - and I know you will. |
| j2e1n9 (23221) | Posted: Mar 31, 2011 - 11:01 I thought it was Jewell. |
| scrubbrush (Sea of Calm) | Posted: Mar 31, 2011 - 11:01 good tune |

| woodchuk (Lunar Lagrange point L1) | Posted: Sep 23, 2010 - 07:59 Intriguing, but somewhat mediocre in a muzak sorta way... 5 |
| ziakut (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Sep 23, 2010 - 07:58 This is Aimee Mann without all the sedatives and depression medication. It's Aimee Lite. I like it a lot. |
| drews (London, Blighty) | Posted: Aug 10, 2010 - 13:26 If that were flying over the gulf of mexico, that would be nauseating from the stench of oil, so I take it you mean somewhere far far away from there DrSlump wrote: It's like flying over the ocean... |

| david1045 (Madison Wisconsin) | Posted: Dec 11, 2009 - 22:40 This is good. She has an intriguing voice, a slight distance from the song that gives it less shine than I expected. It gets more tense but rounded at the end. Very nice. |
| Coaxial (23 miles north/northeast of Paradis) | Posted: Nov 10, 2009 - 12:47 Don't let the door hit you... |
| keller1 (In A Gadda Da Vida, Baby) | Posted: Sep 28, 2009 - 12:34 Reminds me: I think I'll upload Screaming In my Pillow by SSQ —- same ethereal, seductive kind of female voice, offset by much harder edged lyrics. FWIW, I like this one. Still trying to figure out why. |
| denmom (Connecticut) | Posted: Sep 28, 2009 - 12:33 Totally inoffensive. And dull. |
| liveinthewire (The exact center of the universe) | Posted: Aug 07, 2009 - 23:33 "Yes I'm going home" So go. |
| Proclivities (Carrboro, NC) | Posted: Jun 05, 2009 - 12:53 Not a bad little song, and yes, it is a pretty standard chord progression. "Knocking On Heaven's Door", "Oh, Yoko", the aforementioned "No Woman No Cry" and I'm sure many others. She wouldn't be the first artist to use traditional/folk chord arrangements. |

The rather ugly makeup job and flat light makes her look pretty much like any other swedish girl coming in to town on fridays. Do a google image search whydontcha. ;) |

| manzanitafire | Posted: Sep 25, 2008 - 17:19 How about some Cajun music to chase this one? |
| equinoxus (Sweden) | Posted: Aug 25, 2008 - 04:04 Gotta love this! Seen her live once and it was really great. |
| petesku (Cologne, Germany) | Posted: Aug 13, 2008 - 13:00 if you would cut of the 'No women No cry' part it would be worth a 7... |
| Droidac (4066 kms east of Paradise) | Posted: Aug 13, 2008 - 12:58 Anyone else think the verses sound just like Mandela Day, by Simple Minds? Aside from that, I quite like this! EDIT: I guess I should read the song comments first. This has been mentioned before. |

| semTake (Calgary, AB) | Posted: Mar 20, 2008 - 13:24 OK, do all current female Swedish singers sound the same? This is WAY too similar to Lisa Ekdahl, only in English. |

Oh yeah, I looked ... and saw the prices: upwards of $20 for each CD! I didn't necessarily want to buy 3 CDs to get the 3 or 4 songs I really like. Might, though. |

Me too... when I absolutely have to hear her, I can find this one on youtube. I would love to have "Hard to Know" - so far, I haven't been able to clear the barrier that would allow me to order CD's on line or pay "import" prices |
