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.

Without You
Bel Canto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said you loved me
Then you said you could do well
Without me
O' I've got that, I've got that pain
Something inside me
A kind of pain
In some time maybe I'll wonder how it was
I can't imagine I'll never wonder how it was
I just remember too well
You showed me heaven and hell
You said you loved me
Then you said you could do well
Without me
The lyrics of Bel Canto's song "Without You" reveal the complicated emotions of a person who has been deeply hurt by a past lover. The song starts by describing how the person's former partner showed them both heaven and hell. This probably refers to the intensity of their relationship, with moments of pure joy and happiness as well as times of great pain and hardship. The person then goes on to say that their ex-partner once professed their love, only to later claim they could survive without them. This abrupt turn of events must have been devastating for the person, who is left to grapple with their feelings of hurt and confusion.
The chorus of the song repeats the opening verse, highlighting how deeply the lyrics have affected the person. They are left with a pain that exists inside of them, a pain that is difficult to describe but that is clearly all-encompassing. Despite the fact that the relationship has ended, the person knows that they will always wonder how things could have been different. This, in some ways, is perhaps the hardest part of heartbreak - the knowledge that things could have been so different, if only circumstances had unfolded differently.
Bel Canto's "Without You" is a powerful song that captures the complexities of love and heartbreak. The lyrics are emotive and expressive, capturing the raw feelings that come with the end of a relationship. Whether you are going through a breakup or simply seeking to deepen your understanding of the complexities of the human heart, this song is sure to resonate deeply with you.

You showed me heaven and hell
You highlighted to me the contrast between extreme happiness and agony
You said you loved me
You expressed affection and fondness towards me
Then you said you could do well
Without me
Afterwards, you stated confidently that you didn't need me to succeed or feel content
O' I've got that, I've got that pain
I am experiencing a particular type of suffering
Something inside me
The pain I feel is coming from within me
A kind of pain
It's a specific type of discomfort
In some time maybe I'll wonder how it was
Perhaps in the future, I'll be curious about how things used to be
I can't imagine I'll never wonder how it was
I doubt that I'll never be curious about the past
I just remember too well
My memories of the past are still vivid

In questo pezzo c'è tutta la disperazione (ma anche la bellezza) che ben pochi artisti - ed Anneli è una di quelli - sanno dare
