The Band was founded together with Geir Jenssen. He left after the second album in 1990 and pursued a solo career in ambient music as Biosphere.
During the years from 1985 to present (2006) Bel Canto have been taking breaks as Anneli Drecker has pursued a solo career and done concerts with other bands and artists (including touring with A-Ha), as well as playing in films and theatre plays. Nils Johansen, on the other hand, has composed music for film and television as well as working and performing with his other band, Vajas.
21 Years after the band was founded they are still active. In the fall of 2006 they continued to do concerts, primarily in Norway.
In 2007 Bel Canto will continue to work together, both by writing new material and by doing more gigs. At the same time both Anneli Drecker and Nils Johansen will also work on other projects. Latest update by 2022 is that Bel Canto are currently working on their next album.

All I Want to Do
Bel Canto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When good memories are those to bring me down.
And it's all because of you for after all this time still being on my mind.
´cause all I want to do is being close to you.
To hold you by the hand and make you understand.
So another winter's here again...
Frosty windows are blocking my view.
I have refurnished for the umpteenth time.
Oh, but all I want to do is being close to you.
To hold you by the hand and make you understand.
Oh, we´re losing so much time...
You´re always on my mind.
No, I cannot see this through.
I long so much for you.
My heart gets broken every little now and then...
Why, tell me why, wonder why, tell me why I, you and I, you and I said goodbye.
´cause all I want to do is being close to you.
To hold you by the hand and make you understand.
We´re losing so much time...
You´re always on my mind.
Oh, my days are pretty blue.
I need to be with you... that's all I want to do...
