When Sade first came on the recording scene in the '80s, her record company, Epic, made a point of printing "pronounced shar-day" after her name on the record labels of her releases. Soon enough the world would have no problem in correctly pronouncing her name. Born Helen Folasade Adu in a village 50 miles from Lagos, the capitol of Nigeria, she was the daughter of an African father and an English mother. After her mother returned to England, Sade grew up on the North End of London. Developing a good singing voice in her teens, Sade worked part-time jobs in and outside of the music business. She listened to Ray Charles, Nina Simone, Al Green, Aretha Franklin, and Billie Holliday. Sade studied fashion design at St. Martin's School of Art in London while also doing some modeling on the side. Around 1980, she started singing harmony with a Latin funk group called Arriva. One of the more popular numbers that the group would perform was a Sade original co-written with bandmember Ray St. John, "Smooth Operator," that would later become Sade's first stateside hit. The following year she joined the eight-piece funk band Pride as a background singer. The band included future Sade band members guitarist/saxophonist Stuart Matthewman (a key player in '90s urban soul singer Maxwell's success) and bassist Paul Denman. The concept of the group was that there could shoot-offs. In essence, a few members within the main group Pride formed mini-groups that would be the opening act. Pride did a lot of shows around London, stirring up record company interest. Initially, the labels wanted to only sign Sade, while the group members wanted a deal for the whole band. After a year, the other band members told Sade, Matthewman, and Denmn to go ahead and sign a deal. Adding keyboardist Andrew Hale, the group signed to the U.K. division of Epic Records. Her debut album, Diamond Life (with overall production by Robin Millar), went Top Ten in the U.K. in late 1984. January 1985 saw the album released on CBS' Portrait label and by spring it went platinum off the strength of the Top Ten singles "Smooth Operator" and "Hang on to Your Love." Her third album, Promise (November 1985), featured "Never As Good As the First Time" and arguably her signature song, "The Sweetest Taboo," which stayed on the U.S. pop charts for six months. Sade was so popular that some radio stations reinstated the '70s practice of playing album tracks, adding "Is It a Crime" and "Tar Baby" to their play lists. In 1986, Sade won a Grammy for Best New Artist. Sade's third album was 1988's Stronger Than Pride and featured her first number one soul single "Paradise," "Nothing Can Come Between Us," and "Keep Looking." A new Sade album didn't appear for four years. 1992's Love Deluxe continued the unbroken streak of multi-platinum Sade albums, spinning off the hits "No Ordinary Love," "Feel No Pain," and "Pearls." While the album's producer Mike Pela, Matthewman, Denman, and Hale have gone on to other projects. The new millennium did spark a new scene for Sade. She issued Lovers Rock in fall 2000 and incoporated more mainstream elements than ever before. Debut single "By Your Side" was also a hit among radio and adult-contemporary listerners. The following summer, Sade embarked on her first tour in more than a decade, selling out countless dates across America. In early 2002, she celebrated the success of the tour by releasing her first ever live album and DVD, Lovers Live.

He told me sweet lies of sweet love Heavy with the burden of the truth And he spoke of his dreams Broken by the burden Broken by the burden of his youth Fourteen years he said I couldn't look into the sun She saw him laying at the end of my gun Hungrey for life And thirsty for the distant river I remember his hands And the way the mountains looked The light shot diamonds from his eyes Hungry for life And thirsty for the distant river Like the scar of age Written all over my face The war is still raging inside of me I still feel the chill As i reveal my shame to you I wear it like a tattoo I wear it like a tattoo I wear it like a tattoo

free I will not run I will not run I will not run Babyfather We were waiting for the bus No-one much around but us Then I see this young boy cut a look at me I'm stunned In a daze He had the whole

air She saw him looking acted like she didn't care That's how we knew And so love grew a flower A flower that is you Your daddy knows you're a flame Your daddy knows you're a flame Your daddy knows

Said there's something that you need to know It's gonna be alright And when in this life in this life When I can only turn my chin I know it's gonna be alright When this big old town is closing in And I have lost again Here I could stay But I'll keep moving on Here I could stay but I'll keep moving on Could be I won't be wrong There's a long hard road ahead But a voice inside me said Said there's something that you need to know It's gonna be alright Said there's something that you need to know It's gonna be alright Be That Easy You baby were like the sky You held me up To let me fly That's just like you to tell me I've nothing to fear But I am a broken house I'm holding on a broken bough Now it's easy for me to see It couldn't be that easy It had to be much harder That's just like you to tell me I've nothing to fear But I could have been falling free Falling all these years Now it's easy for me to see Full of air Sun on my face Wind in my hair Falling down Flying as slow as I can I'm not trying to reach the land Just falling somewhere It couldn't be that easy It had to be much harder Meanwhile boy I love you Bring Me Home The ground is full of broken stones The last leaf has fallen I have nowhere to turn now Not east not west North or south And all that's ahead of me And everything I know I know nothing so So bring me home Put me on a plate with petals and a fire And send me out to sea Turn my angry sword against my heart And let me free The dawn holds the heaviness of the night I've heard the restless sighs and lovers lies The brook, the beach and seen the devil's eyes So bring me home I've cried for the lives I've lost Like a child in need of love I've been so close but far away from god My tears flow like a child's in need of love I've cried the tears So let the tide take me I won't fight I've cried the tears The small step I need to take is a mountain Stretched out like a lazy dog Send me to slaughter Lay me on the railway line I'm far away from god My tears flow like a child's in need of love I've cried the tears So build the fire and light the flame Bring me home In Another Time You'd be surprised girl Soon they'll mean nothing to you They'll fall into their brew And take down some of the boys with them too There's nothing Nothing that you have to do In another time girl Your tears won't leave a trace In another time girl In another place You've been down girl Their whispers are hailstones in your face You're so tired of waiting For something to change They don't know what to do with Something so good That you wouldn't hurt them You wouldn't hurt them if you could One of these days They're gonna fall into their brew And they'll know exactly what they did to you Darling I just want you to know Your tears won't leave a trace In another time girl In another time girl In another place Darling I just want you to know Your tears won't leave a trace In another time girl In another time girl Skin When I found out this love's undone I was like a gun Sure as it was over Felt like nothing good could come Sure as it's gonna play and play Like Michael back in the day I'm gonna peel you away Now as I begin To wash you off my skin I'm gonna peel you away 'Cause you're not right within I love you so Sometimes love has to let go So this time don't think it's a lie I say goodbye Now as I begin To wash you off my skin I'm gonna peel you away 'Cause you're not right within Now it's time To wash you off my skin Now as I begin It couldn't be right 'cause you're not right within I say goodbye The Safest Place In my heart Your love has found The safest hiding place Inside is a field And trees and a lake Around is a wall No-one from hell could break In there you'll shine In there you will cry My heart has been a lonely warrior Who's been to war So you can be sure In my heart your love has found The safest hiding place Inside is a stream Around is a wall No-one from hell could break In there will shine The light of heaven's eye In there you will cry My heart's been a lonely warrior Who's been to war So you can be sure Your love's in a sacred place The safest hiding place My heart has been a lonely warrior before Who's been to war So you can be sure

( Percy Mayfield ) Heaven please send to all mankind, Understanding and peace of mind. But, if it's not asking too much Please send me someone to love. Show all the world how to get along, Peace will enter when hate is gone. But, if it's not asking too much, Please send me someone to love. I lay awake night and ponder world troubles. My answer is always the same. That unless men put an end to all of this, Hate will put the world in a flame, (oh) what a shame. Just because I'm in misery. I'm not begging for no sympathy. But if it's not asking too much, Just send me someone to love. Heaven please send to all mankind, Understanding and peace of mind. But if it's not asking too much, Please send me someone to love. Hmmm
Mum
( Voices for Darfur Dvd - 2006 )
These eyes, they are the witnesses They need no other reasons to cry And now that they are a river They will never run dry They cut you down Now night is endless And i wait for morning to come Lying there helpless You saw me lose you mum And you were the strongest tree Falling Watching me The cold eyes of hatred showing you no mercy So in this darkness the place i dwell In it is the darkest well And as my arms begin to mend They only wish To hold you again
The Big Unknown (Widows OST) Only love could bring us Bring us to this bitter plane And only one of us Who's gonna walk away Here in the deep below That only darkness really knows I'm hoping for a humble seed to grow No, I won't surrender to this hard hearted night Though I know the sun's gonna bring the palest of light And all that remains is everything that's gone This life is mine so I'll carry on I'm just trying to hold on I'm falling in the dark below I feel I'm falling in the big unknown Here in the deep below I will rise I will rise again A humble seed will grow I have to go back To pull me from the wreck I know it's not over yet There's no fire and no flame On this cold, cold plane And no way to measure my pain I'm just trying to hold on I'm falling in the dark below I feel I'm falling in the big unknown I will rise I will rise I will rise again The humble seed will grow
