She passed the audition with flying colours and began doing session work. She also decided that great food and sunshine were a good reason to stay in Italy. After a while, seeing that she enjoyed singing and everybody said she had an amazing voice, she decided to start a solo career.
She went to Larry Pignagnoli, a famous producer of dance music with a long list of international hits to his name, and did a studio test on a track that Larry was working on with a young, highly talented arranger called Marco Soncini.
The result is 2 Times, one of the most extraordinarily unforgettable debut songs to come out of the international dance scene in a long while.
2 Times went to no.1 in Denmark, no.2 in United Kingdom and Belgium, Top 10 in in France, Germany, Austria, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Netherlands, Norway and East Europe, collecting many Gold and Platinum discs.
The second single, Voices, reached top 1O positions in [palce]Spain, Denmark and the Czech Republic. It was released in United Kingdom in February 2000 and went straight into the Top 30.
The third single, an irresistible cover version of Ring My Bell came out in Europe, while 2 Times began exploding in Canada.
Ann Lee's debut album, Dreams, is currently on release and selling well all over the globe!
The fourth single, taken from the Dreams album, So Deep, gave free rein to her inimitable vocal prowess.
Now Ann Lee is back with an irresistibly catchy dance anthem No No No, just released all over the world.
Helpless
Ann Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But distance makes it so hard
There's nothing to do but wait for the day
We're no longer apart.
Oh time passes fast when I come back home
And miles they get back inbetween us
It never can last 'cos I've got to go
That I'm so
Helpless helpless
In your arms
'cos time goes flying - flying by
And it's endless endless
Far apart
I ask why - if you're still mine.
Helpless helpless far away
There's just the telephone
Just to make less helpless
What I say
When i hear the sound - you're calling me now.
So I look at you and you look at me
In pictures hung on the wall
And what can I do but wait for the day
I hear your voice when you call.
So always remember - never forget
The love that is living inside us
If my voice is sad I only regret
That you are far - and I'm so
Helpless by Ann Lee is a song that speaks about being away from the person you love and the feeling of helplessness that comes with it. The lyrics express the longing for that special someone and the difficulty that distance creates. The song speaks of waiting for the day they can finally be together to end the separation. It touches on how time seems to pass quickly when they are together and how endless it feels when they are apart. The chorus repeats "Helpless, helpless in your arms" which emphasizes the feeling of helplessness that separation creates.
The second verse speaks about how they try to bridge the gap with a telephone call but it's not enough. The only thing they can do is to wait for each other and hold onto the love that they have for each other. The song conveys the message that love can conquer distance and that both parties should hold onto the love that is keeping them together. It's a song about hope and the belief that anything is possible with love.
