Dive

From space, the planet is blue
From space, the planet is the territory
Not of humans, but of the whale 
 
Captain Nemo

Under the surface so crystal clear
Everyone was really tense
Waiting down there
He had his own world just like I had mine
We'll go separate ways 'til the next time
There are no words to say 
As my friend swims away
Captain Nemo said, "Okay"
(Five, four, three, two, one)
Then I raised my hand and waved
Captain Nemo went away
(Love me when I'm gone)
Left 'em all alone, Nemo's going home
And as I watched him, police boats approached
An alien force haunting us like ghosts
"Wish I could stay here and play for a while
But I must be on my way ..."
The warmest of smiles
Then he dived into the waves
Among the other whales
Captain Nemo said, "Okay"
(Five, four, three, two, one)
Then I raised my hand and waved
Captain Nemo went away
(Love me when I'm gone)
Left 'em all alone, Nemo's going home
Captain Nemo said, "Okay"
(Five, four, three, two, one)
Then I raised my hand and waved
Captain Nemo went away
(Love me when I'm gone)
Left 'em all alone, Nemo's going home
Captain Nemo said, "Okay"
(Five, four, three, two, one)
Then I raised my hand and waved
Captain Nemo went away
(Love me when I'm gone)
Left 'em all alone, Nemo's going home
Captain Nemo said, "Okay"
(Five, four, three, two, one)
Then I raised my hand and waved
Captain Nemo went away
(Love me when I'm gone)
Left 'em all alone, Nemo's going home


The second element

Eyes were glancing
Hopes set high
But just another day went by
Tears are falling
Like never before
Still she's staring at the door
Broken promise
Will you understand
My heart is in your little hand
I hear you call my name
And always you'll be
Blood and soul part of me
My second element
I am longing for you
And always you'll see
That you reflect on me
My second element
Are you missing me too?
Time keeps moving 
She's in so deep
And she cries herself to sleep
 Angels dancing
In the night
And she cuddles up real tight
Children's laughter
Sunny day
Never more I go away
Just like and endless dream
And always you'll be
Blood and soul part of me
My second element
I am longing for you
And always you'll see
That you reflect on me
My second element
Are you missing me too?
And always you'll be
Blood and soul part of me
My second element
I am longing for you
And always you'll see
That you reflect on me
My second element
Are you missing me too?


Ship of fools

Remember the day
When I first set my eyes on you and
You said the same
Seemed like everything was right for us
Endless nights of loving
All my doubts and fears went away
So tell me what went wrong
Now I need you
Do anything to get to you
'Cos we're riding on a ship of fools
Now you're not the same
And all that's left are memories of
The times we had
Seems like it always has to end this way
But now know your secrets
And the time is right
To tell
To tell me what went wrong
Can you hear me?
Do anything to get to you
Cos we're riding on a ship of fools
Do anything to get to you
Cos we're riding on a ship of fools


Once in a lifetime 

Let me dive in
To pools of sin
Wet black leather on my skin
Show me the floor
Lay down the law
I need to taste you more
Then I feel your sea
Raining down on me
Can this be my once in a lifetime
Hell's at heaven's door
As I need you more
You know you're my once in a lifetime
When you take me
And make me cry
Then I feel you satisfy
Show me the cage
It's all the rage
And lock it up
Found a part of me
That's a mystery
That will be just once in a lifetime
When the moon is high
Passion never dies
Will you want me for all a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Once in a lifetime
Giving you my soul
Letting you control
Took away a part of my lifetime
Memories of you
Left me black and blue
Now I know you're once in a lifetime
Then I feel your sea
Raining down on me
Can this be my once in a lifetime
Hell's at heaven's door
As I need you more
You know you're my once in a lifetime
Found a part of me
That's a mystery
That will be just once in a lifetime
When the moon is high
Passion never dies
Will you want me for all a lifetime
Then I feel your sea
Raining down on me
Can this be my once in a lifetime
Hell's at heaven's door
As I need you more
You know you're my once in a lifetime
Found a part of me
That's a mystery
That will be just once in a lifetime
When the moon is high
Passion never dies
Will you want me for all a lifetime
Found a part of me
That's a mystery
That will be just once in a lifetime
 
 
 
A salty dog

All hands on deck
We've run afloat
I heard the captain cry
Explore the ship
Replace the cook
Let no one leave alive
Across the straits
Around the horn
How far can sailors fly
A twisted path
Our tortured course
And no one left alive
We sailed for parts
Unknown to man
Where ships come home to die
No lofty peak
Nor fortress hold
Could match our captain's eye
Upon the seventh sea sick day
We made our port of call
A sand so white
And seas so blue
No mortal place at all
We fired the gun
And burned the mast
And rowed from ship to shore
The captain cried
We sailors wept
Our tears were tears of joy
How many moons
And many Junes
Have passed since we made land
A salty dog
The seaman's log
Your witness, my own hand
 
 
Seven seas

Waters deep
Waters blue
The gently flow
From me to you
Your coloured voice
It's vibrant toned
The hidden force
Of the big crystal blue
And by the light
Of the silvery moon
The wild horses
Come running home
Miles apart
But still entwined
I like to think 
That you sit here too
And let your thoughts 
And let your soul
Be gently lulled 
By what's in front of you
Too many ashore
And the distant land
The seas unite
Bringing me to you
Johnny wanna live

I got something on my mind
Makes me sad and makes me cry - oh no
Johnny wanna live
Just an ordinary day
An animal will pass away - oh no
Johnny wanna live
Who's to say he got no rights
Even not a right to life
Don't know why it leaves you cold
Don't know how to make it show - oh no
Johnny wanna live
Johnny wanna live
Got to give his skin away
For coats the wear on summer days - oh no
Johnny wanna live
Beauty aid and all the rest
Come directly from a test - oh no
Johnny wanna live
Through his eyes I look inside his heart
He can feel like me an you
Can't defend himself cause he can't talk
And this is why I talk to you
Johnny isn't just a name
He stands for every creature's pain - on no
Johnny wanna live
Johnny wanna live
Go an try to look inside his heart
You can find your own mistakes
Try to hide them thinking he can't talk
But he can read them on your face
Tell me why it leaves you cold
I swear I'm gonna to make it show - oh no
Johnny wanna live - oh no
Johnny wanna live (repeat some times)
 

By now

I look in your eyes
And I see a little bit of heaven in view
I face your disguise and
I See you running too
A teardrop of silence
That's dissipating in an ocean of blue
So let me dive under
In memory of you
By now it's loving and affection
By now it's love
By now it's loving and affection, baby
By now it's love
And will you still see me
When I am lying under heavenly skies
And will you still feel me
When I reach out to you
And when it's all over
Just let me dive into the 
Pools of your eyes
And then I'll float timeless
Into a part of you
By now it's loving and affection
By now it's love
By now it's loving and affection, baby
By now it's love
By now it's loving and affection
By now it's love
By now it's loving and affection, baby
By now it's love
By now it's loving and affection
By now it's love
By now it's loving and affection, baby
By now it's love
 

Island

What's life revealing
But base reality
Take it how you want to
Nothing comes for free
We go all round believing
In perfect harmony
Who tells us that's the right way?
Just open up and see
Like living on an island
I'm lost no land in sight
Like living on an island
I'm drifting without end
Somehow believe in this dream of life
Like living on an island
Never ending questions
A trip through darkened space
Sometimes getting nearer
To question asked with grace
But in the end it's all believing
In whichever way you will
The answer or the mystery
Once black is now too white
Like living on an island
I'm lost no land in sight
Like living on an island
I'm drifting without end
Somehow believe in this dream of life
Like living on an island
Like living on an island
I'm lost no land in sight
Like living on an island
I'm drifting without end
Somehow believe in this dream of life
Like living on an island
Like living on an island
I'm lost no land in sight
Like living on an island
I'm drifting without end

 
When it rains in America 

Do you wanna feel freedom
Do you wanna see sun and rain
Do you wanna be near me
Do you wanna light up the way
A strange magical feeling
That maybe baby we'll find someday
I thought I heard you laughin'
I never wanted to make you cry
I only needed a reason
To see a teardrop in your eye
'Cause lovin' you keeps me from the storm
When it rains in America
There's a place we can run to
Far away from the city stare
Where's the ocean's a desert
But the wind still blows in your hair
Where we can watch the sun go down
When it rains in America
When it rains in America 
When it rains in America 
When it rains in America 
Cause loving you keeps me from the storm.
When it rains in America 
When it rains in America 
When it rains in America 
When it rains in America 
When it rains in America 
When it rains in America 
When it rains in America 
When it rains in America 
When it rains in America 
 

La Mer

Ancient unknown animals
On a stormy sea
Like Buddha in the water
A velvet energy
As the night takes over
The spirits of the deep
Marvel at his majesty
The whale is in his sleep
Oh, la mer
You're shimmering through
Oh, la mer
Magnificent blue
Shimmering through the water
In search of sanctuary
Currents travel faster
In alien territory
Dancing in the distance 
In a puff of spray
In a single moment
The dolphin glides away
Oh, la mer
You're shimmering through
Oh, la mer
Magnificent blue
Oh, la mer
You're shimmering through
Oh, la mer
Magnificent blue
Oh, la mer 
 

The second element II

Burning fire
A light in the dark
Shining day and night for me
Flowing water
The source of our life
Covering the world
Gentle air blowing
Caressing my face
Carry me into dreams of love
The endless symphony ...
Wasn't it you
Who was filling my dreams
The second element
Everywhere you are rife
Wasn't it you
Who was filling the streams
The second element
With the power of life
Creeks are winding
Just seeking their way
Hardly tryin' to reach the sea
Raindrops falling
From skies to the earth
Bringing life to you and me
Lakes of silence
A magical sound
Keeping secrets in the ground
A perfect harmony ...
Wasn't it you
Who was breaking the light
The second element
And the rainbows arise
Oh, wasn't it you
Who was standing a fight
The second element
From the earth to the skies
Wasn't it you, who was filling my dreams
Wasn't it you, who was filling the streams
Wasn't it you, who was breaking the light
Wasn't it you?

SARAH BRIGHTMAN

 

The musical career of Sarah Brightman needs little elaboration here, suffice to say that in the last decade her voice has graced stages worldwide, from the Metropolitan in New York to Tchaikovsky Hall in Moscow, from Broadway to sell out shows in London . Despite that, Brightman (32) is still seeking fresh challenges and this spring the release of her new album DIVE will undoubtedly become one more facet of her hugely successful recording career.

 

DIVE features fifteen songs linked by an aquatic theme, co-produce and created in collaboration with Enigma’s key member Frank Peterson.” wanted a concept album,” Brightman explains, but something more than just a collection of new age sounds.”

 

DIVE is group of songs with a nautical theme, with subjects ranging from the sirens of Greek mythology to the doomed sailors of Procol Harum’s classic “A Salty Dog” to the imaginative beauty beyond the scenery:

I look in your eyes
 And I see a little bit of heaven in view
 I face your disguise and
 I See you running too
 A teardrop of silence
 That's dissipating in an ocean of blue
 So let me dive under
 In memory of you

 

Lyrics from “By Now”

 

It was Brightman who initiated the idea of DIVE.  I was looking for something to  fit in with what I was,” she explained. “I didn’t want to be Madonna or Paula Abdul or Lisa Stansfield. Somebody played me the Sadness,” by the German group, Enigma, and it was something I really liked.” Investigating further Brightman contacted Frank Peterson, a German musician and engineer who helped create Enigma’s sound with singer-songwriter Michael Cretu.

 

DIVE was written and recorded over a year’s time at Peterson’s studio in Hamburg and lo­cations as far apart as London, Madrid and Tokyo, in a schedule fit around the singer’s concert sched­ule.

 

The first single to be released is “Captain Nemo” and the striking video (directed by Howard Greenhalgh) features Brightman as an underwater sea creature meeting Jules Verne’s mythical character, Captain Nemo.

 

Brightman is no stranger to pop music, having danced in two contemporary groups, “Pan’s People” and “Hot Gossip,” known to British television fans during the ‘70s, and having recorded and the Top 10 dance-oriented single “I Lost My Heart to a Starship Trooper” in 1978.

 

Still, it’s on the musical and concert stages that the singer has made her greatest impact, appearing in the original London cast of “Cats” and “The Phantom of the Opera,” both the London and Broadway productions of “Aspects of Love” (which she is currently performing in Los Angeles), as well as the first production of “I and Albert” and ‘The Nightingale” by American composer Charles Strouse, the New Sadler’s Wells Ballet Company presentation of “The Merry Widow,” being nominated for a Grammy as Best New Classical Artist for her recording of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Requiem” with opera star Placido Domingo, and appearing at prestigious concert halls around the world Brightman also sang the closing song (which was also the theme song) for the ‘92 Barcelona Olympics with Jose Carreras.
