Radiohead is a British alternative rock band from Oxford and nearby Abingdon. Many fans and critics regard them as a seminal rock outfit and the natural inheritors of R.E.M. and Pink Floyd's mantle. The band consists of:
- Thom Yorke: lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano
- Jonny Greenwood: lead guitar, keyboards, modular synthesiser, Ondes Martenot, glockenspiel, miscellany.
- Ed O'Brien: supplemental guitar, harmony vocals, auxiliary percussion
- Colin Greenwood: bass guitar, synthesisers
- Phil Selway: drums, percussion
Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood are chiefly responsible for songwriting. Producer Nigel Godrich has worked with the band since the recording of The Bends, where he assisted producer John Leckie, and has contributed significantly to their sound, often being dubbed the "sixth member" of the band. Another major contributor has been Stanley Donwood, who has produced the artwork for the band's albums since their My Iron Lung EP. Donwood and Yorke met at the University of Exeter, and together produce the official band website, Radiohead.com.
Although Radiohead is not a Britpop style band, many believe that their seminal albums - OK Computer and The Bends - have been particularly influential for contemporary bands, like Athlete, Coldplay, Keane, Muse and Travis. However, it has become clear that the band isn't so keen on the new generation of Britpop musicians, inspired by Radiohead's work though they may be. When asked in 2001 by MTV, "How do you guys feel about the fact that bands like Travis, Coldplay, and Muse are making a career sounding exactly like your records did in 1997?", Yorke replied: "Good luck with Kid A." (Ross, 2001)
History
(1986–1990) Formation and first years
The Radiohead story began in the mid Eighties at Abingdon School, a "public," boys-only grammar school located just outside the city of Oxford. Drummer Phil Selway was a year above Thom Yorke and Ed O'Brien, bassist Colin Greenwood a year below them, and Colin's multi-instrumentalist brother Jonny two years below him. Though the five didn't know each other that well, they began meeting up in the school's music department, which Yorke describes as "great-no one came down there, and there were these tiny rooms with soundproofed cubicles." Colin remembers Abingdon's music school as a place "where we would all run and hide away from the tedious conformity of timetables and uniforms." It wasn't long before the boys formed a more or less permanent band, playing music heavily influenced by acts like Joy Division, Magazine, U2, R.E.M., Elvis Costello and the Smiths. After trying and ditching a series of names, they finally settled on the rather uninspired On A Friday in honour of the day they regularly rehearsed. The band played their first gig in 1987, at Oxford's Jericho Tavern. Jonny Greenwood, Colin's younger brother, became the final addition to the band when Colin took him along to rehersals as a shortcut to babysitting him. Soon he began to take his keyboard along and play any parts they wanted on top. It was a long time before Jonny became an official member of the band.
Even though the band were already fairly certain that they wanted to keep playing together, when it came time for college, all chose to bow to parental pressure and continue their education, putting music on the back burner. For almost four years On A Friday didn't play a single gig, and they rehearsed only during holiday breaks. In 1991, the band reemerged to release its first demo tapes. Their first one – the Manic Hedgehog Demo (named after an Oxford record shop) – brought the group to another gig in the Jericho Tavern. In the meantime, the band had already appeared on the cover of Curfew, a magazine based in Oxford.
(1991–1995) One hit wonders and rise to success: Pablo Honey and The Bends
Things went fast as On A Friday started being booked for gigs frequently. Various record labels showed interest and eventually the group signed a 6-album recording contract with EMI. The band were signed not long after the members had graduated from college. The only member of Radiohead without a college degree is Jonny, the youngest, who abandoned his course in psychology at Oxford Polytechnic when the band got signed. Responding to the critic in Curfew who characterised their name as mundane, the band decided to swap it for the title of a cod-reggae tune, "Radio Head" on Talking Heads' True Stories album. The record is a band favourite and would later be a major influence on their own Kid A.
After spending a year trying to break into the consciousness of the British music press, they finally did become well-known with "Creep" in 1992. The band subsequently released Pablo Honey in 1993, began touring America like mad and nearly broke up over the pressure. The band's debut release was a self-produced EP, described by Chris Hufford as "not a clever move." "A huge conflict of interests. I think Thom was very insecure of my involvement. I'd had that happen to me as an artist when one of our managers acted as producer. There was definitely some friction on that front. Otherwise it was a treat; we fired out the songs." The 4-track Drill EP came out in March 1992 with Prove Yourself as the lead track. It reached 101 in the UK singles chart. The band hired Paul Kolderie and Sean Slade, who produced Buffalo Tom's "Let me come over," as producers. The album was finished in three weeks in an Oxford studio. Although representing a style from which the band would later move, songs like the big self-loathing hit "Creep," "Anyone Can Play Guitar," "Thinking About You," and "You" were popular. Because the album kept on breaking around the world, the Pablo Honey supporting tour lumbered into its second year.
However, some critics and record buyers labeled the band as a "one-hit-wonder" on the heels of the big hit "Creep". The band fully aware of this, immediately after the tour finished, started work on their second album. The hiring of producing legend John Leckie to make their next record – The Bends – showed that the band had further developed as musicians and the latter contributed significantly to the sound of the album. "The best part about working with John Leckie," Jonny recalls, "was that he didn't dictate anything to us. He allowed us to figure out what we wanted to do ourselves." Previous producers Colderie, Hufford and Slade participated in the mixing process and the selection of tracks. Nevertheless the first sessions were exceedingly difficult as the pressure to make a follow-up that would build on the success of Pablo Honey created high levels of tension within the band. Recalling these sessions, Leckie said: "It was either going to be Sulk, The Bends, Nice Dream, or Just. We had to give those absolute attention, make them amazing, instant smash hits number 1 in America. Everyone was pulling their hair and saying, 'It's not good enough! We were trying too hard!'" Thereafter, the band responded by seeking a change of scenery, quitting the studio and touring Australasia and the Far East. Trying new songs while touring, helped in making their second album.
Hufford claimed that "it made them re-evaluate what they were good at and enjoyed doing. Playing live again put the perspective back on what they'd lost in the studio." The EP My Iron Lung (1994) was released between the two albums while the band were touring and saw them in a transitional stage between the pop-like Pablo Honey and the musical depth of their sophomore album. Having worked the songs in on the road, they returned to Britain and completed the album at once in a fortnight in late 1994. It was swiftly mixed and released in May the following year 1995. It wasn't successful however until their third single "Street Spirit (Fade Out)", which hit the Top 5 in UK, that the band were finally recognised and the album bounced to the charts in 1996. The Bends drew heavily on 1960s influences as well as the then-popular music exemplified by groups such as the Pixies and R.E.M. Songs like "High & Dry", "Fake Plastic Trees", "My Iron Lung" (the band response to their big hit "Creep") and "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" were striking, original and profound, hinting that the group were growing as musicians and were on the way to stardom.
Although not regarded as a properly Britpop album, it was associated with the movement and in early 1996 – widely praised a year after the album's release – Radiohead took part in Cool Britannia, battling famous acts like Oasis, Blur, Pulp, and Suede. Now, The Bends is considered by many critics and fans as one of the best albums of the mid-1990s.
(1996–1998) At the height of popularity: OK Computer
Radiohead began writing OK Computer in Canned Applause, a converted studio shed with the latest recording equipment. By July they had recorded four songs with producer Nigel Godrich. Thom Yorke said that the Bends succeeded because "we had to put ourselves into an environment where we felt free to work. And that's why we want to produce the next one ourselves, because the times we most got off on making the last record were when we were just completely communicating with ourselves, and John Leckie wasn't really saying much, and it was just all happening." With the assistance of engineer Nigel Godrich, Radiohead really did produce their next album themselves. They bought their own recording gear and went to work, first in early 1996 at their rehearsal studio, Canned Applause, then in actress Jane Seymour's 15th-century mansion in St. Catherine's Court near Bath. Their plan was to stay away from traditional recording studios and the bad vibes they'd previously set off in the band. But the same tension present during the Bends sessions appeared once again during the tracking for OK Computer. Yet the band eventually realised that creative tension wasn't necessarily bad. Having learnt of the Bends, they decided to perform the songs live before completing the record. After recording four songs in Canned Applause in July and August, they tried them on tour and then without pressure, recorded the rest till the end the year in St. Catherine's Court mansion.
In 16 June 1997 OK Computer was released and received even greater acclaim than The Bends, featuring prominently in many "best album" polls, then and now. It found Radiohead introducing uncommon musical elements, experimenting with ambience and noise to create a set of songs that many consider to be a high point of late-twentieth century rock music. It received a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album and was followed by their big "Against Demons World Tour". Grant Gee, the director of the "No Surprises" video, accompanied the band on their tour and filmed it, which resulted in the "fly on the wall" documentary Meeting People Is Easy, which showed the band starting from their first and foremost tours and finishing in their late burn-out dates in mid-1998. OK Computer has been named the best album of the past 20 years by US music magazine Spin, and the best album of the 1990s by the online music publication Pitchfork.
The band released two EPs No Surprises/Running From Demons (1997) and Airbag/How Am I Driving? (1998), which differ only by a couple of songs. The more notable is the second, which has few songs that could best be described as a bridge between the progressive alternative rock of OK Computer and their subsequent experimental work.
OK Computer and The Verve's final powerful alternative album – Urban Hymns – were regarded as a boost to the already dying Britpop movement, despite the fact that both records departed from the style. Nevertheless OK Computer is regarded by some as one of the greatest rock albums and still tops various charts. It defined Radiohead as top superstars and elevated them to the pantheon of the greatest bands of 90s, among such seminal acts as R.E.M., U2, Nirvana and Oasis.
During this time, Radiohead also contributed two songs to Baz Luhrmann's 1996 adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, "Talk Show Host" and "Exit Music (For a Film)". The former is b-side to "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" found also on the soundtrack to the film, while the latter was also included in OK Computer.
(1999–2001) Experimental work: Kid A and Amnesiac
Exhausted by their fame and on the verge of burning out, following the end of the "Against Demons World Tour" in middle 1998, the band spent the next year in relative quiet. Thom Yorke admitted that after the tour the band was close to splitting up, and that he himself had fallen into depression for a time. Colin Greenwood said: "It felt a bit like we were in a dead-end street and that was really frustrating." The band only appeared at the Amnesty International Concert in Paris (10 December 1998), and Thom and Jonny performed at the Tibetan Freedom Concert in Amsterdam, where a new song, "Pyramid Song", made its live debut.
The band however were still working on the follow-up, but rather chaotically and were less organised than previous times. Thom said: "I think it was the first time we didn't have a clue what we were going to do, what we were doing. We were just experimenting. We've been in this state for about a year, just fooling around, trying out stuff and listening to what we did, then it finally started to get into shape... after about 18 months." But, after O'Brien's collaboration for the BBC drama series "Eureka Street" in middle 1999, the band holed completely in the studio to record. The amount of the material was huge – about 40 new songs, from which they chose 30 for their subsequent two records.
Radiohead refused to make a follow-up of OK Computer in the same musical vein and chose to be even more ambitious than before, creating an experimental electronic album with minimal guitar work that complemented the lyrical and musical hooks of their earlier work with a more minimalist style. Yorke explained that the band wanted "to experiment and find new angles, leave the old paths. We tried to treat the album like a song, let the album develop itself rather than giving it a shape and moulding it into a shape, and it worked. It was a completely different way we used for work and it was rather liberating."
The album's arrangements have been likened to a meeting of Pink Floyd and Aphex Twin. Their fourth record Kid A was released in October 2000. The band cited Alice Coltrane, Charles Mingus and Paul Lansky as influences, as well as the entire back catalogue of Warp Records. Kid A received a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Album just as its predecessor did, which fired them to superstardom. The band were accused by some critics for creating a radio-unfriendly record, though most of the band's fans hailed it as a masterpiece, and it is now considered by some to be one of their finest records and greatest achievements. The online music publication Pitchfork Media article holds Kid A as the finest album of the first half of this decade.
The follow-up Amnesiac, which was released in June of the following year, comprised further tracks from the same recording sessions. Conceived as two separate sequences of songs, the two albums are similar in style and influences; linked by two different versions of the song, "Morning Bell." Amnesiac is often viewed by critics as the less accomplished of the two works and has been criticised for its lack of cohesion. However, most fans and a growing number of critics refer to this lack of continuity as a deliberate device used by Radiohead to distinguish Amnesiac from Kid A. The album was received very well and nearly reached Kid A's sales, marking a further musical exploration of the band. There is even a division in the opinion of some fans about which of the two albums is better.
After its release, the band staged their own mini-festival in Oxford's South Park, featuring Beck, Sigur Rós, Supergrass, Humphrey Lyttelton (who played trumpet on "Life in a Glass House", the closing track on Amnesiac), and themselves. Initially the band wanted to release "I Might Be Wrong" as their new single after "Pyramid Song" and "Knives Out", but soon the idea expanded into a full-fledged live record. In the fall of 2001, they released their first live album: I Might Be Wrong: Live Recordings, featuring performances from Berlin, Paris, London and a couple of other concerts as well as including one unreleased track, "True Love Waits".
(2002–2004) Mixing from everything: Hail to the Thief
On the high heels of the Amnesiac tour the band took their new material on the road in Portugal and Spain during July and August 2002 prior to recording it. The recording process of the album was more like the Bends-sessions, rather than the previous holing in the studio. With the songs fleshed out and finalised during the tour, the band completed the album in a Los Angeles studio in a fortnight. In 2003 the band released their sixth album Hail to the Thief, which was rooted in less overt experimentation than its two immediate predecessors but was still a long way from their earlier guitar-driven material.
Thereafter, Radiohead embarked on a vast international tour, lasting about a year. The band showed relaxed attitude during interviews and press conference and at the stage shows, they were dancing and grinning. Thom even went to say that the album is their OK Computer 2 and while this sounds overstated, the album was received very warmly by both fans and critics alike and surpassed the previous their experimental records' sales. Among many fans this is regarded as one of their best albums, engulfing all of the band's musical explorations and couple with new sounds and recording energy.
The tour saw the band visiting Australia and Japan for the first time since their OK Computer tour in 1997–1998, more than 6 years previous. Many Australian fans were deeply upset by the cancellation of the last show merely hours before its scheduled start due to problems with Yorke's throat. Radiohead headlined the main (Pyramid) stage on the Saturday of the Glastonbury 2003, to huge crowd acclaim and positive press reviews. The same year, Jonny Greenwood, with the help of his brother Colin Greenwood, recorded and produced the soundtrack to the avant-garde documentary Bodysong.
About one year after the release of Hail to the Thief, Radiohead released a new EP entitled COM LAG (2plus2isfive), while on their 2004 tour in Australia and Japan. With 10 tracks, COM LAG is longer than the average Radiohead EP. It features live takes, remixes, and different versions of Hail to the Thief-era songs, as well as a handful of acoustic and electronic numbers. The band finished touring and promoting Hail to the Thief in mid-2004 with an acclaimed performance at the Coachella Festival.
(2005–2006) Next Album
At first, the band stated that it's natural to record some more material, on the heels of the previous record and started jamming in their Oxford based studio, but then gave up as Ed and Colin were expecting children and the band wanted some time off after a three-album cycle. Free of any contractual obligations, Radiohead spent the rest of 2004, resting and devoting themselves to solo projects and recordings with other artists. They recorded sporadically and put some pieces before working fully again in early 2005. The band gave note of themselves with the DVD The Most Gigantic Lying Mouth Of All Time in December 2004. Jonny Greenwood, along with Phil Selway, will have a cameo role in the next Harry Potter film – Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Jonny became a composer for the BBC, charged with creating classical pieces. He and Thom participated in the Band Aid 20 project, playing respectively guitar and piano, collaborating with myriad of famous artists.
Radiohead returned fully again to recording sessions in early 2005, although they recorded on and off in during the hiatus. The band got together back in January 2005 and Thom played a bunch of his new songs for the others. Having never heard the material before, the rest of the band just jumped in and started adding their own parts. The whole recording process has been portrayed as "unorganised" and very different than the usual ways Radiohead has recorded before. Later Thom described this change to NME as the way the band worked during the gap of OK Computer and Kid A. It's unknown whether close collaborator Nigel Godrich will produce the album, but it's most likely. It's been reported that he is frequently visiting the studio, where the band is recording, and that Thom gave him a tape with some new songs. Stanley Donwood will be painting for them again.
It's been revealed that it's unlikely that the band would re-sign with EMI.Their management also dismissed recent rumours that Warner Music were lining up to sign the band, saying: "The band (are) not looking for a record company in any way, shape or form. They are out of a contract, but they're not actively looking for another one. They're getting on with doing what they do."
On September 30, Thom posted what seems to be 21 songs that the band have been working on. A list has been extrapolated by members of the ateaseweb.com fansite. Not all of these 20 songs will make the cut and probably these are not all the songs that Radiohead are working on. It's quite normal for a band to work on many songs during the recording process and then narrow down the ones they feel will fit on the album. Probably 10 to 15 songs will land on the new album, others will be used as b-sides and some will be eventually scrapped or remain in the back burner for further releases.
The band leaked some titles for tracks which are being considered for the new album, including "Rubbernecks", "Bodysnatchers", "Solutions", "Pig's Ear", "Burn The Witch", "Morning Mi' Lord", "House Of Cards", "Reckoner" and "Arpeggi". The band are already discussing next year's tour dates, although no dates are confirmed. In 22 October, Thom and Ed made an appearence at the blog and at the message board. Radiohead have finished two weeks of non-stop recording sessions, making one track a day. Also Thom said the following on the official site messageboard: "next year we will play some small gigs. actually maybe a couple of large ones too. but im afraid 2006 will not include argentina. if we are all still here in 2007 then it would be great."

Radiohead by others
- Australian musician Frank Bennett gave an unconventional makeover to Radiohead's song "Creep" on his 1996 album "Five O'Clock Shadow", performing it in the style of Frank Sinatra. The album is out of commercial distribution, but The Official Frank Bennett website provides mp3 downloads of his recordings.
- In September 1998, American jazz pianist Brad Mehldau included his version of Radiohead's "Exit Music (For a Film)" on his album The Art Of The Trio, Vol. 3. In August 2002 he released the album Largo which featured Radiohead's "Paranoid Android". Both of these tracks are taken from OK Computer. The Anything Goes album, released February 2004, includes a re-working of the track "Everything in its Right Place" from Radiohead's Kid A. All three albums were released by Warner Brothers. His Live in Tokyo album from 2004 (on Nonesuch) includes a 19-minute, live rendition of "Paranoid Android".
- In 2000, spoof act Richard Cheese included a lounge music-style version of the song Creep on his first album Lounge Against the Machine. The song culminated in a partial rendition of Fitter, Happier.
- The Section, a popular music string quartet, released two albums (on independent record label Vitamin Records) covering Radiohead: 2001's Strung Out On OK Computer, a track for track reprise of OK Computer; and 2003's Enigmatic, which draws mostly from Kid A and Amnesiac with a few tracks from The Bends.
- In 2003 classical pianist Christopher O'Riley recorded True Love Waits, a collection of Radiohead tracks from various albums arranged for solo piano. It was published by Sony Music. On 12 April 2005 Christopher O'Riley released his second Radiohead tribute. "Harmonia Mundi" is the name of the new label for the True Love Waits follow-up. Hold me to this contains 14 new piano interpretations of Radiohead songs.
- At the 2003 Download festival glam rock band The Darkness first performed their heavy rock cover of Street spirit (fade out). The cover greatly increases the tempo of the original song, and is performed on electric guitars with heavy distortion. This was met with much praise from the general public and Darkness fans, but with a mixed response from Radiohead fans - many of whom thought this heavy cover betrayed the maudlin roots of the original song.
- British pop-jazz artist Jamie Cullum included a cover of "High and Dry" in his 2003 album "Twentysomething".
- American singer-songwriter John Mayer has performed the song "Kid A" live numerous times, and included it on the "Bigger Than My Body" single.
- Radiohead is mentioned in the Comedy Central sitcom , South Park, in episode 501 : Scott Tenorman Must Die. Scott Tenorman likes the band Radiohead , and one of the show's characters explains it further by saying , 'You know , the band has that song - I'm a creep , I'm a weirdo...'. Indeed, the episode guest stars the band, and revolves around Cartman trying to make them insult the aforementioned Tenorman. South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker have frequently said that they are big fans of Radiohead.
- The Japanese rock band Plastic Tree is reputed to have adopted their name from Radiohead's "Fake Plastic Trees."
- The jazz trio The Bad Plus has covered Karma Police live in their trademark "deconstructive" fashion.
- American Musical Comedy group Hard n' Phirm released a Bluegrass medley of over 15 Radiohead songs entitled "Rodeohead" which features on their debut album "Horses and Grasses".

Rachel Stevens Music Lyrics:
Rachel Stevens - Sweet Dreams My La Ex
Lyrics :
"Sweet Dreams My La Ex"
Hey, hang your red gloves up
'Cause there's nothing left to prove now
Hey, hang your red gloves up
Baby, no-one cares but you
What planet are you from
Accuse me of things that I never done
Listen to you carrying on
Cheating another love song
If I were in your shoes
I'd whisper before I shout
Can't you stop playing that record again
Find somebody else to talk about
If I were in your shoes
I'd worry of the effects
You've had your say but now its my turn
Sweet dreams my L.A. Ex
We've had it on full steam
'Til the light comes back to you now
Hey, is it all it seems
Is it all you dreamed and more
What planet are you from
Accuse me of things that I never done
Listen to you carrying on
Cheating another love song
If I were in your shoes
I'd whisper before I shout
Can't you stop playing that record again
Find somebody else to talk about
If I were in your shoes
I'd worry of the effects
You've had your say but now its my turn
Sweet dreams my L.A. Ex
Does it make you feel the man
Pointing the finger because you can
I spare it loud and clear
Baby, that tongues not welcome around here
You turned the city round (L.A. Ex)
Do you think I give a damn (L.A. Ex)
Do you think that I'm the fairer (S-E-X)
Sweet dreams my L.A. Ex
If I were in your shoes
I'd whisper before I shout
Can't you stop playing that record again
Find somebody else to talk about
If I were in your shoes
I'd worry of the effects
You've had your say but now its my turn
Sweet dreams my L.A. Ex

Rachel Stevens - Fools
Lyrics :
"Fools"
It'll be O.K. with the next one
I always end up on a leash up having no fun
Yeah, I'm always stuck
Feel like getting up now
Make it understood, crazy
And it means getting down
I'm so tired and bored of the Mr. Nice Guy
Treats me well, but "stiff" if the word on my mind
So send me in the fools
Throw away the heros
I need some excitement here tonight
Send me in the fools
I'm startin' up the party
I make wakin' up wanna feel the vibe
What I need is something
That's not against the law
It just fit in space and
Baby I'm bored, I'm bored of the feelin'
That safe, easy touch
Need a man to get my
engine started up
Don't change - too lame, that don't make my kind of man
Find a wild side somewhere and maybe we can
So send me in the fools
Throw away the heros
I need some excitement here tonight
Send me in the fools
I'm startin' up the party
I make wakin' up wanna feel the vibe
Get me off this one-way road I'm goin' down
All I feel like now is
Heaven's so far
So send me in the fools
Throw away the heros
I need some excitement here tonight
Send me in the fools
I'm startin' up the party
I make wakin' up wanna feel the vibe
So send me in the fools
Throw away the heros
I need some excitement here tonight
Send me in the fools
I'm startin' up the party
I make wakin' up wanna feel the vibe
So send me in the fools
Throw away the heros
I need some excitement here tonight
Send me in the fools
I'm startin' up the party
I make wakin' up wanna feel the vibe

Rachel Stevens - Breathe In Breathe Out
Lyrics :
"Breathe In Breathe Out"
So breath in, breath out
Breath in, breath out
Can you feel what I'm feeling now
Every dark cloud's gone away out of sight
Can you feel the relief inside
Every tension dissapeared over night
All that I want is right here in front of me
Now I see what it's all about
No more questions all my wrongs turn to right
I know what I've got
And I don't wanna be without
So breath in, breath out
This is a new day coming
Breath in, breath out
Let's cherish every morning
Don't let anything get you down
Today, the sun is shinin'
So breath in, breath out
This is a new day coming
Let's get up and get on our feet
I can't wait to sieze the day, you and me
Can achieve what we're dreamin' of
So c'mon, we're getting late, gotta go
Everybody's on time
And I don't wanna miss the show
Can you feel what I'm feeling now
Every dark cloud's gone away out of sight
I know what I've got
And I don't wanna be without
So breath in, breath out
This is a new day coming
Breath in, breath out
Let's cherish every morning
Don't let anything get you down
Today, the sun is shinin'
So breath in, breath out
This is a new day coming
So breath in, breath out
(so breath in, breath out)
So breath in, breath out
Breath in, breath out
This is a new day coming
So breath in, breath out
(Breath in and breath out)
Breath in, breath out
(This is a new day coming)
So breath in, breath out
Can you feel what I'm feeling now
Breath in, breath out
Can you feel the relief inside
Don't let anything get you down
Today, the sun is shinin'
So breath in, breath out
This is a new day coming
So breath in, breath out
(Breath in and breath out)
Breath in, breath out
Let's cherish every morning
Don't let anything get you down
Can you feel what I'm feeling now
So breath in, breath out
This is a new day coming

Rachel Stevens - Glide
Lyrics :
"Glide"
I'm livin' love in the fast lane
Seein' the world from an airplane
Uh uh
Strange little thing called love
Tastin' the air as we're racing
Smilin' faces as we're passing
Uh uh
Strange little thing called love
The air is clear
Get out of here
Baby, grab your coat; let's take a ride
Hold on to me
And silver breeze
Late into the night
Oh, yell it
Glide, Ooo, higher than the window
Glide, Ooo, out into the neon sky
Baby, wanna glide
I know that you want to
(Ooo, glide, baby)
Carryin' off into the air stream
The city's un-so-resting
To much
Strange little thing called love
The air is clear
Get out of here
Baby, grab your coat and hitch a ride
so come on 'round
Go hit the town
Late into the night
Oh, yell it
Glide, Ooo, higher than the window
Glide, Ooo, out into the neon sky
Baby, wanna glide
I know that you want to
(Ooo, glide, baby)
Glide, Ooo, higher than the window
Glide, Ooo, freeer than an airborn cloud
Baby, fly around
I know that you want to
(Ooo, glide, baby)
Glide,
Freeer than the wind blows
(Than than the wind blows, baby)
Glide,
Freeer than the wind blows
(Than than the wind blows, baby)
Oh, yell it
Glide, Ooo, higher than the window
Glide, Ooo, out into the neon sky
Baby, wanna glide (Wanna glide, yeah)
I know that you want to
(Ooo, glide, baby)
Glide, Ooo, higher than the window
Glide, Ooo, freeer than an airborn cloud
Baby, fly around
I know that you want to
(ooo, glide, baby)

Rachel Stevens - Heaven Has To Wait
Lyrics :
"Heaven Has To Wait"
I can't explain what I dont understand
Time slipping through my hands
As the seconds turn to yesterdays
I think that in my world it's so serene
I'm driven by a dream
One night when were alone again
Feeling's getting closer each day
This setting's now the right time to say
I just wanna lay down beside you, be naked where you sleep
Sing you a love song that makes your body weak
I can promise all of my tomorrows, my love for you today
I'll give you everything, but heaven has to wait
Oh yeah, Baby
Oooh
I already know that you're the one
The earth around my sun
But still there's things I need to hide
I know I see an angel fly above
This heart can't hurry love
The time's not right for you and I
Feeling's getting closer each day
This setting's now the right time to say
I just wanna lay down beside you, be naked where you sleep
Sing you a love song that makes your body weak
I can promise all of my tomorrows, my love for you today
I'll give you everything, but heaven has to...
I feel so tempted, here in this life
Sure would be easy, to love you tonight
Now is the right time, here in the dark
Finding my secrets, heaven has to wait
Heaven has to wait
I just wanna lay down beside you, be naked where you sleep (Naked where you sleep)
Sing you a love song that makes your body weak
I can promise all of my tomorrows, my love for you today
I'll give you everything, but heaven has to wait

Rachel Stevens - Blue Afternoon
Lyrics :
"Blue Afternoon"
Do Do Do Do, Do Do
Love washed out
The colors fade
Love so red
Is now pase
Never found
A pot of gold
At the end of all my rainbows
Blue afternoon
Nothin' to do
Wonderin' why I'm feelin'
Blue afternoon
Thinking of you
Wonderin why I cry on
My blue afternoon
Case of love
Is what we'll be
I engulge
In sweet envy
Sand is tinged
With streams of gold
But, I've been told
That on a rainbow
Blue afternoon
Nothin' to do
Wonderin' why I'm feelin'
Blue afternoon
Thinking of you
Wonderin why I cry on
My blue afternoon
I can continue
Can't give it up
Why can't they
So I'd live it up
My feelings
Will they ever stop
For you
For you...
Love came back
In shape of you
And now my afternoon
Is blue
Everywhere
I look is gold
At the of every rainbow
Blue afternoon (Blue) (Afternoon)
Everything's new (Everything's new)
Suddenly I'm not feelin'
Blue anymore (anymore)
Never again (Never again)
Never say, "Go away"
Go away
Go away
You blue afternoon

Rachel Stevens - I Got The Money
Lyrics :
"I Got The Money"
Yeah
You got the time, I got the money
We'll have it all and just be happy
Oh-oh Yeah
You got the time, I got the money
We'll have it all and just be happy
Wishin' on a star's no good
Would it be said that we really could
Live out everything our hearts have dreamed of
waiting here's never gonna be enough
You know that we could be so much more
Cos we've only got one chance in this life
Don't you wanna do it right, baby
All my life, I wonder where you take me too
(All my life)
So I should take this chance, baby
All my love, I'd do anything for you
C'mon and we'll do something crazy
Let's run away, we've got nothin' to lose
We'll go anywhere, any place we choose
If you got the time, I got the money
We'll have it all and just be happy
Leave everything, start a life with me
We'll be anything that we wanna be
If you got the time, I got the money
We'll have it all and just be happy
Yeah, Yeah
You should never be afraid to fall
Don't you know nobody has it all
We can be closer than we've ever been
See all the things that we have never seen
Who knows what will become of me
But I'm sure that as long as you are by my side
We're gonna be alright, baby
All my life, I wonder where you take me too
(All my life)
So I should take this chance, baby
All my love, I'd do anything for you
C'mon and we'll do something crazy
Let's run away, we've got nothin' to lose

We'll go anywhere, any place we choose
If you got the time, I got the money
We'll have it all and just be happy
Leave everything, start a life with me
We'll be anything that we wanna be
If you got the time, I got the money
We'll have it all and just be happy
Oh, we'll be happy
If we get to places I see
Everyday the same house the same street
Wouldn't it be nice if you and me
Could forever be free
If we get to places I see
(We'll be free, baby)
Everyday the same house the same street
Wouldn't it be nice if you and me
Could forever be free
(Ooh, love the way baby)
Let's run away, we've got nothin' to lose
We'll go anywhere, any place we choose (any place we choose)
If you got the time, I got the money
We'll have it all and just be happy
Leave everything, start a life with me
We'll be anything that we wanna be (anything we wanna be)
If you got the time, I got the money (anything we wanna be)
We'll have it all and just be happy
Let's run away, we've got nothin' to lose
We'll go anywhere, any place we choose
If you got the time, I got the money (Mmmmmmhmmmm)
We'll have it all and just be happy
Leave everything, start a life with me
We'll be anything that we wanna be
If you got the time, I got the money
We'll have it all and just be happy

Rachel Stevens - Little Secret
Lyrics :
"Little Secret"
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Down, shivers up and down
Wondering what we'll get up to
I'm feeling high I get excited
You know how I like it
I'm dying just to be with you
No need to tell a sole, keep it under control
Just tell me where to go
We'll be in privacy
I'll be your secret, your holy secret
Baby, no one need know what we'll get up to
I'll be your secret, your little secret
Don't you know I can't wait just to be with you
Oh
So tell me what's the plan
Your wish is my command
I'm longing just to please you, tease you, be my mystery man
You make me rude, got me in the mood
It's so exciting, hiding my secret rendezvous
We're on a role, keep it under control
Just tell me where to go
We'll be in privacy
I'll be your secret, your holy secret
Baby, no one need know what we'll get up to
I'll be your secret, your little secret
Yes, it's you that my heart is addicted to
Oh yeah
I said I like it when you do it like that
Slow moves knockin' boots in the back of your car
I like it when you do it like that
(like it when you do it like that)
Jumpin' hoops gettin' cute in the middle of the dark
(Wo-oh-oh-oh)
I like it when you do it like that
I'll be your secret, your holy secret
Baby, no one need know what we'll get up to
I'll be your secret, your little secret
Don't you know I can't wait just to be with you
I'll be your secret, your holy secret

Rachel Stevens - Solid
Lyrics :
"Solid"
You're solid, yeah
Like a rush that I don't wanna stop
Saw the signs in your eyes
What was up wasn't right
And none of us was innocent
Baby, still we played our games
Scared to win,
Left the mess we were in
On uneven ground,
Lost what we found
I had to put away my pride
To find a way that I could love you more
I couldn't keep away from you
Then you walk back in my life
And all at once we were just like before
No one does what you can do
You're solid, yeah
Like a rush that I don't wanna stop
Boy, your love goes on and on
You're solid, yeah
You and I thought that our thrill was gone
You were solid than a rock
Like a cool summer breeze
You're the fan for the heat
I feel lying next to you natur..ally
There's a switch in my heart
Only you can turn it on
You're the flame that lights late at night
Deep inside me
For so long I tried to fight
The way I felt the way you made me fall
But I couldn't keep away from you
But then you walk back in my life
And all at once we were just like before
'Cos no one knows what you can do
You're solid, yeah
Like a rush that I don't wanna stop
Boy, your love goes on and on
You're solid, yeah
You and I thought that our thrill was gone
You were solid than a rock
Surrender, when you do the things you do
Together, I cant get enough of you
You're the missing piece
The other half of me
To make me complete
You're solid, yeah
Like a rush that I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop, no no
You're solid, yeah
You and I thought that our thrill was gone
You're solid, you're solid
You're solid, yeah
Like a rush that I don't wanna stop
Boy, your love goes on and on
You're solid, yeah
You and I thought that our thrill was gone
You were solid than a rock
You're solid, yeah
Like a rush that I don't wanna stop
Boy, your love goes on and on
You're solid, yeah
You and I thought that our thrill was gone
You were solid than a rock

Rachel Stevens - Silk
Lyrics :
"Silk"
Dangerous is you to me, addicted I sure am
Lock me up and keep me from this devil's master plan
It mystifies me how you drive me crazy with a kiss
Spellbound, boy, I still dream of this
I like the way you look at me
Every mornin' when I wake up
I can't deny sometimes I believe
Give me what I need
Your touch is like silk
Strokin' my body
Softer than skin
Bringin' my pleasure in
Your touch is like silk
Makin' me shiver
Makin' me sweat
I must get free of this boy I cant forget
Your touch is like
Your touch is like
Your touch is like
Silk
Fragile is this broken heart, can't take this pain no more
Inflammable is my whole life, yes, I've been burned before
Keep my distance, though I'm drawn to everything I miss
Tongue tied, I can still taste your kiss
I like the way you smile at me
In the evening 'cross a crowded room
I can't forget how good it feels
When you're close to me
Your touch is like silk
Strokin' my body
Softer than skin
Bringin' my pleasure in
Your touch is like silk
Makin' me shiver
Makin' me sweat
I must get free of this boy I cant forget
Your touch is like
Your touch is like
Your touch is like
Silk
Your touch is like silk
Strokin' my body
Softer than skin
Bringin' my pleasure in
Your touch is like silk
Makin' me shiver
Makin' me sweat...
Your touch is like silk
Strokin' my body
Softer than skin
Bringin' my pleasure in
Your touch is like silk
Makin' me shiver
Makin' me sweat
I must get free of this boy I cant forget
Your touch is like
Your touch is like
Your touch is like
Silk (Silk)

Rachel Stevens - Some Girls
Lyrics :
"Some Girls"
My baby drives a car (hey)
He calls me when he wants (hey)
I don a pair of zip-up boots
I go and shake my hair out loose
I never take my eyes off you
Oh no no, oh no no
No I don't think so
Some girls always get what they wanna wanna
All I seem to get is the other other
This won't last for long, not forever
And the champagne makes it taste so much better better
Some girls always get what they wanna wanna
All I seem to get is the other other
Dreams of number one last forever
It's the only way to make you feel better
Footloose and fancy-free (hey)
My baby waits for me (hey)
He likes to put his own records on
He likes to tell me the things he's done
Such a strange way of having fun
Oh no no, oh no no
And away we go
Some girls always get what they wanna wanna
All I seem to get is the other other
This won't last for long, not forever
And the champagne makes it taste so much better better
Some girls always get what they wanna wanna
All I seem to get is the other other
Dreams of number one last forever
It's the only way to make you feel better
Hey, stop
You made a promise to make me a star
(A hat, a lift)
You made a promise I'd get to the top
(A chat, a gift)
You made a promise to make me a star
(A drink, a kiss)
You made a promise I'd get to the top
(A hit, a miss)
Some girls always get what they wanna wanna
All I seem to get is the other other
This won't last for long, not forever
And the champagne makes it taste so much better better
Some girls always get what they wanna wanna
All I seem to get is the other other
Dreams of number one last forever
It's the only way to make you feel better
(You made a promise to make me a star)
Some girls always get what they wanna wanna
(You made a promise I'd get to the top)
All I seem to get is the other other
(You made a promise to make me a star)
This won't last for long, not forever
(You made a promise I'd get to the top)
And the champagne makes it taste so much better better
Some girls always get what they wanna wanna
All I seem to get is the other other
Dreams of number one last forever
It's the only way to make you feel better
