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.

Hearts Unite
Bel Canto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You rule my world.
You rule my every thought.
But for a lifetime´s savings I still can not buy your love.
I just want everything.
I just want everyone to see me happy and safe in your arms.
Instead I guess I have to wait.
Guess I have to wait until our hearts unite, until you redecide.
I´ll live my life, i´ll do my best.
The very best I can.
And no one has the right to tell me where on how or when.
Be my delight tonight.
Step out into the light.
Don´t make me wander about in distress.
Tonight is the night when the stars are gonna give you my caress.
They´ll make our hearts unite.
They´ll make you redecide.
That´s when you hearts unite.
That´s when we syncronize.
Until our hearts unite, until you redecide.
Until out heats unite, ooh, until we syncronize.
Bel Canto's song "Hearts Unite" captures the theme of unrequited love and the desire to be with someone despite being unable to obtain their love. The opening lines "You rule my dreams, you rule my world, you rule my every thought" express the passion and intensity of the singer's feelings towards the person they desire. They long to be happy and feel safe in their lover's arms, but acknowledge that money cannot buy love.
The lyrics are tinged with sadness as the singer discusses their inability to be with the one they love despite all their efforts. The phrase "guess I have to wait until our hearts unite, until you redecide" implies that the other person may have already rejected their advances, and the singer is hoping for a change of heart. Nevertheless, the singer is determined to live their life to the fullest and not let others dictate their happiness, as expressed in the line "no one has the right to tell me where on how or when."
