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.

Dreaming Girl
Bel Canto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have my dreams and thoughts in another world
But I live my life
So lost in time, so lost in space
I belong to an unknown human race
But I live my life
Perhaps, I will come back again
See all my dreams don't belong to you
They have nothing with your world to do
They just live my life
So who are you, o' so wise
Who can tell what is wrong or right
And I'll just stay right where I am
My dreams belong to dreaming land
I'm not coming back again, my dreams
Belonging to dreaming land, that's why
I'll stay right where I am, see I
I don't need a helping hand
I am such a peculiar girl
Keep my secret thoughts in a secret world
That's how I live my life
So don't tell me how one's supposed to live
'Cause your eyes don't shine, they have done their time
You have lived your life
That's why, I'll stay right where I am
'Cause I, I don't want to die my friend
No I, I don't want those withered eyes
'Cause I, I want to live my life
No I, don't want those withered eyes
See, I want to live to live my life
The lyrics to Bel Canto's song Dreaming Girl portray a character who identifies as a peculiar girl with dreams and thoughts that originate from an unknown human race. She creates her world, which is kept separate from reality, and she lives a life that is lost in space and time. The character gently asserts that her dreams do not belong to anyone else but her- with no connection to the real world. They are unique because they belong to the world of dreams.
The character goes ahead to state that she does not need anyone's help because she has everything she needs in the world of her dreams. She is content, notwithstanding the fact that people may consider her strange or strange. Her sentiments are evident where she says, "I am not coming back again, my dreams belonging to dreaming land, that's why I'll stay right where I am. See, I don't need a helping hand." She prefers to remain and thrive in her world of dreams and secret thoughts, and she is not willing to conform to others' expectations.
The lyrics to Dreaming Girl evoke feelings of sadness and isolation, but the character is steadfast in her decision to live life her way regardless of other people's opinions. The song captures the feeling of being an outsider and celebrates the need for self-expression—a powerful message that encourages people to be themselves regardless of social norms.
Line by Line Meaning
I am such a peculiar girl
I am a unique individual
Have my dreams and thoughts in another world
I have a rich imagination that takes me to another realm
But I live my life
Despite my peculiar nature, I exist in reality
So lost in time, so lost in space
I feel displaced in the world
I belong to an unknown human race
My individuality separates me from others
Perhaps, I will come back again
Maybe one day, I will return to this reality
But I, I don't bother how or when
I don't worry about the details of that possibility
See all my dreams don't belong to you
My aspirations are personal and not for anyone else
They have nothing with your world to do
My dreams don't relate to your reality
They just live my life
I keep my dreams contained within my own existence
So who are you, o' so wise
Why do you think you know best?
Who can tell what is wrong or right
No one is capable of dictating what is good or bad for me
And I'll just stay right where I am
I will continue to exist as I am
My dreams belong to dreaming land
My dreams are allocated to another dimension
I'm not coming back again, my dreams
I won't be returning to this place with my dreams
Belonging to dreaming land, that's why
My dreams are where they need to be
I'll stay right where I am, see I
I have no need to leave where I exist
I don't need a helping hand
I don't need assistance to live how I do
Keep my secret thoughts in a secret world
I keep my private thoughts to myself
So don't tell me how one's supposed to live
I don't need any advice on how to live my life
'Cause your eyes don't shine, they have done their time
Your spirit lacks vitality, having gone through too much in life
You have lived your life
You've already had your experiences, let me have mine
'Cause I, I don't want to die my friend
I don't want to let go of my essence
'Cause I, I want to live my life
I yearn to experience my existence fully
No I, don't want those withered eyes
I don't want to be drained of vitality
See, I want to live to live my life
I want to live my life on my own terms
