앨범이 발매 되기 전 이미 온라인 상에서 뜨거운 반응을 모았던 스윗박스처럼, 귀에 착 감기는 후렴구와 클래식 음악의 차용으로 낯설지 않은 멜로디, 묘하게 중성적이며 매력적인 보컬로 이미 2005년 하반기를 책임질 기대주로 급부상한 JEM은 앨범 발매 이전에 이미 국내 TV광고의 배경음악으로 두 곡이나 결정되는 진기록을 세우기도 하였다. < THEY > 제일모직의 '빈 폴' 광고 - 다니엘 헤니'내 이름은 김삼순'에 려원 친구로 출연와 기네스 펠트로헐리웃 최고의 여자배우가 출연하는 이번 빈 폴광고는 막대한 광고 물량과 함께 캐스팅만으로 광고 방영 전부터 이미 뜨거운 관심을 모으고 있다. < WHISH I > 최근 대한항공의 대대적인 광고를 의식한 아시아나의 TV광고에 삽입 결정! 국내 가수 하유선이 표절해 더욱 화제가 되었던 < THEY >의 파격적인 노출 비디오로 관심을 모으고 있는 JEM의 데뷔 앨범 [FINALLY WOKEN]은 가슴에 꽂히는 사운드트랙으로 더 많은 화제를 모았던 히트 영화 [클로저]에 삽입되어 이미 온라인상에서 누구의 노래인지 많은 화제를 불러 일으켰던 곡 < COME ON CLOSER >, 강력한 록과 아름다운 현악중주, 일레트로닉 비트가 어우러진 곡 <24>, <바흐의 전주곡 F 바 단조>를 현대화한 곡으로 웅장한 편곡과 코러스 위에 JEM의 신비하면서도 중독성 있는 보컬이 어우러진 첫 싱글 <THEY> 등 고감도의 관능적이고 중독적인 팝송으로 꽉 찬 앨범 .... ....
I've been thinking 'bout things For a long while I'm Feeling so calm I've got a big smile I have a view of the sun Right over the sea And now I can feel Life is flowing through me
You see I've finally woken From a long sleep I'm ready to jump To make that blind leap 'Cause I now believe I have the power in me I've got the faith baby I can truly be free
Finally woken Finally woken
Child don't worry it's OK The sun is out for another day And I say it'll be alright (be alright) Today's the first day of the rest of your life Remember, remember, remember this, remember
Child don't worry it's OK The sun is out for another day And I say it'll be alright (be alright) Today's the first day of the rest of your life remember, remember, remember this, remember
Child don't worry it's OK The sun is out for another day Today's the first day of the rest of your life And I say it'll be alright (be alright) Remember, remember, remember this, remember
Finally woken Finally woken Finally woken Finally woken And I say it'll be alright And I say it'll be alright
I've gotta stop my mind Working overtime It's driving me insane It will not let me live Always so negative It's become my enemy
Save me Save me Save me Save me Save me Save me
Why would I think such things Crazy thoughts have quick wings Gaining momentum fast One minute I am fine The next I've lost my mind To a fake fantasy
And none of these thoughts are real So why is it that I feel So cut up and so bad I need to take control 'Cause my mind is on a roll And it isn't listening to me
Save me Save me Save me Save me Save me Save me
Mirror mirror on the wall Who's the dumbest of them all Insecurities keep growing Wasted energies are flowing Anger, pain and sadness beckon Panic sets in in a second Be aware it's just your mind And you can stop it anytime
Save me Save me Save me Save me Save me Save me
OK so here we go If it works I'll let you know One two three I say stop
Been given 24 hours To tie up loose ends To make amends His eyes said it all I started to fall And the silence deafened Head spinning round No time to sit down Just wanted to run and run and run Be careful they say Don't wish life away Now I've one day
And I can't believe How I've been wasting my time
In 24 hours they'll be Laying flowers On my life It's over tonight I'm not messing no I Need your blessing And your promise to live free Please do it for me
Is there a heaven a hell And will I come back Who can tell Now I can see what matters to me It's as clear as crystal The places I've been The people I've seen Plans that I made start to fade The sun's setting gold Thought I would grow old It wasn't to be
And I can't believe How I've been wasting my time
In 18 hours they'll be Laying flowers On my life It's over tonight I'm not messing no I need your blessing And your promise to live free Please do it for me
In 13 hours they'll be Laying flowers On my life It's over tonight I'm not messing no I need your blessing And your promise to live free Please do it for me
I'm not alone I sense it I sense it
All that I said I meant it I meant it
And I can't believe How much I've wasted my time
In just 8 hours they'll be Laying flowers On my life It's over tonight I'm not messing no I need your blessing And your promise to live free Please do it for me
In just 1 hour they'll be Laying flowers On my life It's over tonight I'm not messing no I need your blessing And your promise to live free Please do it for me

Daylight comes, daylight comes and you've gotta go Breaks my heart, breaks my heart to have to watch you go Wish I knew, wish I knew when you'll be back again However long it's just too long until we meet again
Stay now, stay now just a little more Cause this love, this love is what living's for Stay now
Hide in bed, sheets overhead Blocking out the sun Feel like we are marooned at sea away from everyone
And I, I hate to say goodbye I, want you to touch me one more time
Stay now, stay now just a little more Cause this love, this love is what living's for Stay now, stay now just a little more Cause this love, this love is what living's for Stay now Stay now Stay now
You can't know, oh no, you can't know How much I think about you, no It's making my head spin Looking at you, and you are looking at me And we both know what we want So close to giving in
Feel so nice, oh yeah you feel so nice Wish I could spend the night, But I can't pay the price Oh no, no
But I'm flying so high High off the ground When you're around And I can feel you're high Rocking me inside, it's too much to hide
I know, oh yes, I know that we can't Be together, but I, I just like to dream It's so strange the way our paths have crossed How we were brought together It's written in the stars it seems
Feel so nice, oh yeah you feel so nice I'd love to spend the night, but I can't pay the price Oh no, no
And I'm flying so high, High off the ground When you're around And I can feel you're high Touching me inside, and it's too much to hide
Back to earth, where did you take me to? I know there's no such thing This painless love, well it'll catch us up And we can never win But oh, I feel so alive Oh, just wanna hold you Hold you so tight
And I'm flying so high High off the ground When you're around And I can feel your high Touching me inside And it's too much to hide
And I'm flying so high High off the ground When you're around
