1998년 전 세계를 강타한 신인 여가수 나탈리 임브룰리아. 청바지에 단발머리 차림의 이 작은 체구의 여가수가 부르던 바로 그 노래 <TORN>은 전 세계적인 열풍을 불러 일으켰고 한국에도 상륙한 나탈리 임브룰리아의 열풍은 그해 발매된 그녀의 데뷔 앨범 [LEFT IN THE MIDDLE]을 8만장 판매하는 것으로 이어졌다. 첫 앨범의 세계적인 성공 이후 영화 출연 및, 광고 모델 활동으로 바쁜 시간을 보내던 나탈리 임브룰리아는 2002년 록적인 느낌이 강한 두번째 앨범 [WHITE ISLAND]로 컴백했고 <THAT DAY> 등의 싱글을 히트 시킨다. 그 후 3년이란 기간동안 훨씬 더 성숙한 모습으로 돌아온 나탈리 임브룰리아가 선택한 음악은 데뷔 앨범으로 회귀한 듯 한어쿠스틱 사운드가 주가 된 밝고 경쾌한 팝 앨범이다. 첫 싱글 <SHIVER>는 마치 <TORN>의 통통 튀는 느낌을 그대로 간직하고 있는 매력적인 싱글이고, 그 외 <COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS>는 후렴구가 묘하게 귓가에 남는 곡, 또 나탈리의 청아하고 영롱한 보컬이 돋보이는 <SANCTUARY> 등 아름다운 팝 음악 12곡이 수록되어 있다.
Starting today I'm not going to waste another moment Even if I Had the chance before I would have blown it But you took me by surprise And you caught me just in time Everyday You give me reason not to walk away I stop believing that the world's gone crazy And if it is you'll save me starting today I'm not going to worry about tomorrow I'll wash away all this fear that's left me feeling hollow cause you make me want to try And you caught me just in time Everyday You give me reason not to walk away I'll stop believing I should burn like crazy Cos if I did you chase me Anyway I should have told you So many times That I shyed away Somehow you always seem to Be there making it easy And you give me reason to stay Everyday Everyday Everyday Oh everyday I'll stop believing that I should burn like crazy Cos if I did you chase me Anyway You give me reason not to walk away I stop believing that the world's gone crazy And if it is you'll save me Starting today I'm not going to waste another moment
I walk a mile with a smile And I don't know I don't care where I am But I know it's alright Jump the tracks Can't get back I don't know anyone round here But I'm safe this time Cos when you Tell me Tell me Tell me Stupid things like you do Yes I Have to have to have to Change the rules I can't lose Cause I shilver I just break up When I'm near you It all gets out of hand Yes I shiver I get bent up There's no way that I know you'll understand
We talk and talk 'round it all Who'd have thought We'd end up here But I'm feeling fine In a rush Never trust You'll be there If I'd only stop and take my time Cos with you I'm running running running Somewhere I can't get to Yes I Have to have to have to Change the rules I'm with you Cause I shilver I just break up When I'm near you It all gets out of hand Yes I shiver I get bent up There's no way that I know you'll understand
What if you get off at the next stop Would you just wave as I'm drifting off If I never saw you again Could I could I keep all all of this of this Inside Cause I shilver I just break up When I'm near you It all gets out of hand Yes I shiver I get bent up There's no way that I know you'll understand I'm a shilver I could shilver Yes I shilver I just break up When I'm near you It all gets out of hand Yes I shiver I get bent up There's no way that I know you'll understand
This summer time I have no fury No chance of sinking sailing ships If time stood still I'd take aim and fire For you For every ocean there must be shore On which I stand with restless toes When everything I look for in myself is in you
I feel a little more than empty But I wanna feel more than full It's a pity all I have Is just enough to keep you satisfied This knot can come undone no matter how we try to keep it tied Inside this bottle theres a message You may be drinking way too much If I had the strength to take the weight of you I would I feel a little more than empty But I wanna feel more than full It's a pity all I have Is just enough to keep you satisfied This knot can come undone no matter how we try to keep it tied Something high it keeps me here Something that keeps us together This knot can come undone You keep me dry despite the weather I don't need to feel this way For you but I do end up feel satisfied
It's a pity all I have Is just enough to keep you satisfied This knot can come undone no matter how we try to keep it tied It's a pity all I have Is just enough to keep you satisfied This knot can come undone no matter how we try to keep it tied It's a pity all I have Is just enough to keep you satisfied This knot can come undone no matter how we try to keep it tied
You were right And I don't want to be here if you're gonna be there Was that supposed to happen I'll hold tight I'll remember to smile Though it has been a while And without you does it matter There's no room No place to start When our souls are apart I want to travel through time See your surprise I'd hold you so tight I'm counting down the days tonight I just want to be a million miles away from here I'm counting down the days How've you been It's just the usual here And days are feeling like years And every day's without you Now I cry just a little too much when I think of your touch And everything about you I feel cold I'm in the dark When our souls are apart I want to travel through time See your surprise I'd hold you so tight I'm counting down the days tonight I just want to be a million miles away from here I want to travel through time See your surprise I'd hold you so tight I'm counting down the days tonight I just want to be a million miles away from here I'm counting down the days I'm counting down the days I'm counting down the days I'm gonna be you surprise I'm gonna hold you so tight Yeah I want to travel through time See your surprise I'd hold you so tight I'm counting down the days tonight I just want to be a million miles away from here I want to travel through time See your surprise I'd hold you so tight I'm counting down the days tonight I just want to be a million miles away from here A million miles away from here
You got it the wrong way round completely The fact that I love you so Doesn't make me a fool One day you just might grow tired of chasing The end of a rainbow Your already there you know So Slow down Tell me why you're running Turn round Let it out keep and it coming Nothing I can do if I can't get to you Slow down
Remember the day you came to see me Even that lonely long drive Couldn't keep us apart And you opened up to me completely And you gave me peace of mind The rest we can leave behind So Slow down Tell me why you're running Turn round let it out and keep it coming Nothing I can do if I can't get to you Slow down
You don't have to hurt yourself And feel so small It's so confusing And you're already there so slow down Tell me why you're running Turn round let it all out keep it coming Nothing I can do if I can't get to you Slow down So slow down Tell me why you're running Turn round let it out and keep it coming Nothing I can do if I can't get to you Slow down Slow down
Sit down wait a minute I thought we were special this town, and everyone in it moves a little faster than the underground no time, time is money feeling like a piece of machinery let down, when I saw you tumble falling over pieces of me I I I wanna be your sanctuary set you free, set you free I I I wanna be your sanctuary set you free, set you free
Foot down, turn it around don't even know where I wanna go no sound, and tunnel vision all I need is you on my raidio no time, time is money we've been through the traffic to cross the street blue skies, now you're talking gotta get the shoes off my feet I I I wanna be your sanctuary set you free, set you free I I I wanna be your sanctuary set you free, set you free I wanna lead you and follow you I wanna hold you and keep it true so many things that I wanna do with you Last night under the light I thought we were special your smile, dance for a while I'm here to help you to keep it to keep it, to keep it, to keep it I I I wanna be your sanctuary set you free set you free I I I wanna be your sanctuary set you free set you free I I I wanna be your sanctuary set you free set you free I I I wanna be your sanctuary set you free set you free I wanna lead you and follow you I wanna hold you and keep it true so many things that I wanna do with you
When I say it doesn't matter It matters most of all You're not up for conversation So I'm blinded by it all The further away you push me The closer I feel to you Every fall every crash Everything that was never meant to be All the perfect little things I could release All the nights every time we were just about to leave Now it makes no sense to me But it seems when we fall that's when we land perfectly
Can't see what's before me Cannot feel the ground This place that we exist in Is the sweetest thing I found The further away you push me The closer I feel to you Every fall every crash Everything that was never meant to be All the perfect little things I could release All the nights every time we were just about to leave Now it makes no sense to me But it seems when we fall that's when we land perfectly
The further away you push me The closer I feel to you Every fall every crash Everything that was never meant to be All the perfect little things I could release All the nights every time we were just about to leave Now it makes no sense to me But it seems when we fall that's when we land perfectly
I'm looking for a way to calm these voices in my head With all this mad confusion I don't wanna leave this bed I'm on the run I'm on the run again And I don't know which way is left And there's no point in not being right So I'll hold my breath till the morning Till I see the light I'm on the run I'm on the run again From me
I'm drowning in these feelings And it's scaring me to death Staring at the ceiling So many things I could have said I'm on the run I'm on the run again And I don't know which way is left And there's no point in not being right So I'll hold my breath till the morning Till I see the light So so many time So many signs You're out there waiting I should have known You're out there waiting
And I don't know which way is left And there's no point in not being right So I'll hold my breath till the morning Till I see the light I'm on the run I'm on the run again From me
Come on home It's not too late We can fall apart together
Beautiful girls smiled When I needed it the most
Smiled on my heavy eyelids again Come on home It's not too late You can fall apart together Come on home It's not too late You can fall apart together Fall apart together Fall apart together Fall apart together
Come on home It's not too late You can fall apart together Come on home It's not too late You can fall apart together Fall apart together
The sun came up Desperate desperate The stars above Held you back Once again Half way here Half way here they whisper You talk so much sense When you're sleeping When you're sleeping And you share all the secrets And the mystery When you're sleeping I saw your tears Violet violet And it's been years The sky's been crying for you I found out Beautiful things about you You talked so much sense When you're sleeping When you're sleeping yeah And you share all your secrets And the mystery When you're sleeping So you go and wonder Where you wonder Lose yourself to take us higher And I'll be waiting For you when you're down You talk so much sense When you're sleeping When you're sleeping yeah And you share all the secrets And the mystery When you're sleeping You talk so much sense When you're sleeping When you're sleeping yeah And you share all the secrets And the mystery When you're sleeping
Melting honeycomb Tie my shoelace on my own That boy laughing you Where are your warm hands To pull me back in Home Home Home To your love Home Home Home To your love Climb down the oaktree Feeling the dry grass under my feet I'm here without you Holding on Holding on Nothing to lose Home Home Home To your love Home Home Home To your love And I don't mind You pretending to the others And I don't mind You protecting all the others
You you carried me in To bed from the car I painted your face But I had to ask Permission to go But don't go to far And we like to watch All the flickering stars You don't like your face But that's who you are I got all those shells And put them in a box How far would you go If I didn't want to stop I looked in your eyes And it was all gone Home Home Home To your love Home Home Home To your love Home Home Home To your love Home Home Home To your love
