(1) Anka Wolbert: as a co-founder and songwriter of Clan of Xymox (Ronny Moorings, Anka
Wolbert and Pieter Nooten), Anka Wolbert gets signed at age 20 to indie
label 4-AD (London), home to the Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, Pixies,
Throwing Muses, among others. Recorded at Edinburgh's famed Palladium
Studios the band's self-titled debut album is a record full of tumbling
electro beats, throbbing sequencers and musical adventure. This album
receives outstanding press reviews and gains Clan of Xymox cult status across Europe.
In 1987-1988 the band are invited three times to the famous BBC John Peel shows, to record nine songs (John Peel Sessions 1986-1990). During this period Anka moves from Amsterdam to London. Xymox second album "Medusa" is released in 1987. Xymox embarks on their first US tour.
In 1989 Xymox signs to Wing, subsidiary of PolyGram N.Y. and release their third album, "Twist of Shadows". Aided by the impressive 12 inch and single release "Imagination", written by Anka Wolbert and featuring the mainstream U.S. Billboard charts, Xymox earns hit status and is beginning to cause a stir in America.
The bands fourth album "Phoenix" releases worldwide in 1991. Sell out tours around the world follow. Anka moves from London to N.Y.C. (home to Polygram head quarters) But sub label Wing ceases to exist and in 1992 Anka decides to break with Xymox, after extensive touring and increasing disagreements on the musical direction of Xymox. She remains in NYC for 2 more years, to work on new material.
In 1995, Anka returns to London, as well as returning with 4-AD, to sign a development deal. Whereas Xymox has gone completely goth since her split, her music has become more triphop/ guitar fusion oriented and she is inspired by the blooming brit-pop scene in London. She forms her own band Vaselyn and also starts working again with Pieter Nooten.
In 1997 Anka gets signed to EMI (N.Y.C.). EMI's company overhaul to merge with Virgin and move to the West Coast sadly results in the loss of their A&R person. Subsequently, the release of the CD is postponed forever, a waiting game unfolds and in keeping with classic major label music bizz stories the album never gets released at all.
This material however proves the basis for Cocoon Time. Returning to Amsterdam Anka first hooks up with Sophie Zeyl to work on Sophie Zeyl's debut album. A welcome break from her own music Anka feels inspired producing Sophie Zeyl's music. After finishing this album she decides to complete the material initially recorded for EMI.
Cocoon Time features Anka's distinctive vocal signature on thirteen songs including Inside The Bubble, A Storm and Hello Dustlane. It is rich with mood and melody.
Anka recounts,
"This record is part London, part world, a combination of my travels, experiences with people and impressions of love.
Wherever you go, love travels with you. But as in sweet and sour. I want my songs to reflect deep resonance and they have to go from strong lyrics. It is not so much genre but lyrics and melody that can make a song really powerful. You have to go from gut feeling. A good song can seize you and send butterflies down your spine.
When you happen to stumble upon a good song, whether in writing or listening and often at least expected moments, you know it.

(2) Anka - is a Romanian band founded in 2006. At the end of its forming year under the Roton label, the first album is released, having as a title the band's name - Anka. The debut album includes 12 tracks covering genres like pop and electro pop. The main vocal of the band is Anca Badiu, who has an exquisite musical background.
Anca Badiu is an ambitious and stubborn Taurus. She collects paintings (including religious creations), CDs and pens. She says that the one who doesn't know how to lose, won't win anything in life. Her favorite movie is "Schindler's List", due to the realism of the scenes presenting the Holocaust. She loves flowers (especially the forest flowers, lilies and yellow roses), working out at the gym and reading, whenever she's in the mood.
She studied singing in Romania since she was a little girl, and continued her studies in Italy, the country where she stayed for a long time and also where she also sang along with some very famous artists. In February 2006 she returned to Romania and joined Class, after Mihaela Florea's leaving. Along with her new colleagues she released three albums ("Într-o Zi", "Pentru Dragoste" and "Evo"), and became the most successful member. In 2006, she decided to leave the band and start her own solo project. This was the official birth of Anka.
In its short history, Anka already released two smashing singles - "Nopți De Dor" and "My Baby (Tell Me Why)" that climbed on the top of the Romanian charts in no time. Preparing her following hit, "Cineva", having loads of concerts all over the country--with numerous media presences and with a considerable number of fans gathered in such a short time--Anka heads to a promising path in the Romanian (why not?) international show-biz!

Diana
Anka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Belle e sexy meglio di lei
Ma a me sembra che lei è un po'
Troppo giovane per te
Ti capisco e come no?
Se però soffrire non vuoi
Oh fuggi via da lei
Diana
Già io ti vedo passeggiar
Fra la gente insieme con lei
Mentre c'è chi pensa già
Che di Diana il padre sei
Ed ogni volta dover dire
Che tua figlia lei non è
Oh fuggi via da lei
Diana
Capricciosa bionda e rosa, morbidosa
Poi golosa
Divertente, cotta al dente e tu? E tu?
E tu che non ti accorgi che lei sta cuocendoti a fuoco lento
Anche se poi chi ama di più
Fra voi due è ancora lei (I don't care)
Finché un giorno ti risveglierai
Come un pugile un po' suonato
Dal gran vuoto che ti ha lasciato
Fuggi via da lei
Diana
Capricciosa
Bionda e rosa
Morbidosa e poi
Poi golosa
Divertente, cotta al dente e tu? E tu?
Tu quale non ti accorgi che non sta cuocendo soltanto me
È a un certo punto ormai anche con te
Forse ammetterlo tu non puoi
E sono certo che nei panni miei
Pur di stare vicino a lei
Te ne freghi degli anni tuoi
Perché lei è lo sai
Diana
Già io mi vedo in un caffè
Fra la gente insieme con lei
Mentre i barman già pensan che
Che un bel giorno poi finirà
Come pugili un po' suonati
Quasi morti e innamorati
Resta qui con noi
Diana
Qui con noi
Diana
Qui con noi
Diana
Qui con noi
Diana
Paul, ehi Paul
Adriano, Adriano sono qui
Lei dove è?
Sta arrivando
Ciao ragazzi
The lyrics to Anka Paul's song "Diana" are about a man who is enamored with a young girl named Diana, despite her age and the opinions of others. The singer acknowledges that he has never seen anyone as beautiful or sexy as her, but he also feels that she is too young for the man to be pursuing a relationship with her. The singer urges the man to think about the consequences of his actions and to protect himself from getting hurt. He warns that Diana may not truly care for the man and that he could end up heartbroken.
The second verse is a continuation of the first verse but from a different perspective. The singer imagines the man walking in public with Diana and people assuming that he is her father because of their age difference. The singer acknowledges that it must be awkward for the man to constantly have to explain that Diana is not his daughter. He implores the man to break things off with Diana before they get too serious and hurt each other in the process.
In the final verse, the singer becomes more reflective and shifts the focus to himself. He wonders if he too is falling for Diana and if he is blind to the fact that she may be using him. He suggests that the man may not be the only one getting hurt and that he too may end up with a broken heart. The song ends with a plea for Diana to stay with the singer and not leave him like she has left others before.

And you don't realize she's cooking you slowly on fire; even though she loves you more, it's still her controlling the situation

I already see myself in a cafe with her, and the bartenders already think it'll end someday like two knocked-out boxers, almost dead and in love; Stay here with us, Diana; Paul, hey Paul; Adriano, Adriano, we're here; Where is she? She's coming

I'm so young and you're so old
This, my darling, I've been told
I don't care just what they say
'Cause forever I will pray
You and I will be as free
As the birds up in the trees
Oh, please stay by me, Diana
Thrills I get when you hold me close
Oh, my darling, you're the most
I love you but do you love me
Oh, Diana, can't you see
I love you with all my heart
And I hope we will never part
Oh, please stay with me, Diana
Oh, my darlin', oh, my lover
Tell me that there is no other
I love you with my heart
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Only you can take my heart
Only you can tear it apart
When you hold me in your loving arms
I can feel you giving all your charms
Hold me, darling, ho-ho hold me tight
Squeeze me baby with-a all your might
Oh, please stay by me, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
Oh, please, Diana
