In 1988, the Beu family (parents and eight siblings) left the bright lights of New York City for the serene sounds of New Smyrna Beach, Florida. By the end of the ‘90s, the parents divorced and the sisters unified through music, performing on stage with their mother, opening for major artists like Billy Ray Cyrus and Bo Diddley. They soon came to the attention of Award-Winning Songwriter Desmond Child (Kiss, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith). He introduced them to Record Producer Steve Greenberg (Joss Stone, Jonas Brothers) and the sisters became the second act signed to S-Curve Records.
In 2002, their debut album “Decisions” was released and received rave reviews. Billboard Magazine wrote, “While the environment for instantly accessible melodic music is often hostile at top 40 radio these days, one must remain optimistic that true talent will rise to the top. THE BEU SISTERS demonstrate enormous versatility on their upcoming, DECISIONS. All involved should pop the champagne cork for an effort that radiates joy, humor, passion, and artful, unaffected singing. These gals are simply wonderful.”
As singers and songwriters, the sisters soon garnered numerous movie and television soundtracks: (Double Platinum Selling) “The Lizzie McGuire Movie Soundtrack”; “Home on the Range”; “How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days”; “Because of Winn Dixie”; “Ella Enchanted”; “Smallville”; “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”; “Gilmore Girls”; and, “Charmed.” Quickly becoming a Disney fan favorite, the sisters were featured on “The Disney Channel,” Disney’s 50th Anniversary Celebration at the Hollywood Bowl, “Disneymania II In Concert” (hosted by Raven Simone), and a multitude of Disney albums. They then expanded their existing fan base by opening for “American Idol” Alums Kelly Clarkson and Clay Aiken on a 32-city tour.
It was at this point in their blossoming career that the tides shifted. The sisters were signed to an entertainment deal with Sony/Columbia Records, but delays led them, as a family, to the unanimous decision to return home to their seaside town and release themselves of all contractual obligations. This process took time and the sisters soon found themselves waiting tables again, teaching vocal lessons, gardening, cleaning homes, and performing locally. However, during these lean times, they also found themselves putting down roots, growing families, and cultivating a new vision for their creative dream.
Today, the Beu Sisters are a self-contained trio, expressing a Pop/Urban sound that blends mystical melodies and affirmative recitations over neo-symphonic beats. The artistic rendering of the sisters’ orchestral, 3 part harmony creates the dynamic foundation of this unique and refreshing musical experience. The first single and video, ”Definition of a Lady,” captures their playful journey of self-expression and creative empowerment with elegance, grace and beu-ty.
On their own label, Beach Breakz Records, this Florida family has written, arranged, produced and recorded all songs from their upcoming compilation of 6 EP’s entitled A Collection of Beu-tiful Music. In this diverse collection, the Beu Sisters offer a variety of musical entrées to satisfy a variety of musical tastes. In Beu-tiful: Vol. I, II, & III, the EPs appear in their original form, flavor and content (with original artwork by Danielle Beu). However, Beu-tiful InVersions: Vol. I, II, & III, offers a little something different for the gourmet listener. The “InVersions” deliver a palette cleanser to the heavy beats served on the original 3 EPs. In this edition, every track has been masterfully stripped to the bare essentials, revealing the intricacies of harmony, select instrumentation and lyrical content within.
On My Mind
Beu Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was always you
From the start
To begin with
Oooh Boy when I hear your name
From my ears into my brain
Can't stop filter, refrain
Just wanna explain to everybody that you drive me insane
So if you want to caress me please do
Oooh Boy I'm so versatile
From my kicks up to my smile
Give you my digits to dial so we can reconcile
Promise I can make it worth your while
Cause I can't hide how you make me feel deep inside
So if you want to caress me please do
Do you think of me
I'm always thinking about you
Do you dream of me
Oooh yes-I'm dreaming about you
Don't you understand
Oh no I can't live without you
Baby if you can't read the signs
I'm letting you know that you're on my mind
I think you know by now what I want you to do
Am I coming on too strong
Coming on a little too strong for you
Are you the kind of man who likes the chase
Never been that kind of girl
I've never been the kind of girl to waits
I just get too impatient
I wanna make or break it
Do things my own way
Those games I don't play
We could be creating something so exhilarating
So stop debating, hesitating
Why would you wanna keep this girl waiting
Do you think of me
I'm always thinking about you
Do you dream of me
Oooh yes I'm dreaming about you
Don't you understand
Oh no I can't live without you
Baby if you can't read the signs
I'm letting you know that you're on my mind
I wonder if I'm ever on your mind
I wish that you would just give me the time
So that I could find out what lies behind those mysterious eyes
(X2)
Do you think of me
I'm always thinking about you
Do you dream of me
Oooh yes I'm dreaming about you
Don't you understand
Oh no I can't live without you
Baby if you can't read the signs
I'm letting you know that you're on my mind
(Spoken) Don't even play
The lyrics to Beu Sisters' song "On My Mind" tell the story of a girl who is hopelessly infatuated with a boy. From the start, she knew it was him, and every time she hears his name, it filters into her brain and she can't help but think about him. She's so head-over-heels for him that she can't lie about how he makes her feel, and she's willing to do whatever it takes to be with him, even if it means coming on a little too strong. She wonders if he ever thinks of her, and wishes he would just give her a chance to find out what lies behind his mysterious eyes.
The song's lyrics capture the feeling of being overwhelmingly attracted to someone, to the point where you can't stop thinking about them, and you'll do whatever it takes to be with them. The song's catchy melody and upbeat tempo give it an infectious quality, making it perfect for dancing or singing along to. The spoken interlude in the middle of the song is a clever way of breaking up the verses and adding an element of spoken-word poetry to the track.

It was always you
You've always been on my mind
From the start
Ever since I've known you
To begin with
At the beginning of it all
Oooh Boy when I hear your name
Your name triggers an uncontrollable response in me
From my ears into my brain
I can't help but think of you when I hear your name
Can't stop filter, refrain
I can't ignore or suppress my feelings for you
Just wanna explain to everybody that you drive me insane
I want everyone to understand how strongly I feel about you
And I can't lie about the way you make me feel inside
I can't pretend my feelings aren't real
So if you want to caress me please do
If you want to touch me, I welcome it
Oooh Boy I'm so versatile
I have a range of emotions when it comes to you
From my kicks up to my smile
My feelings about you affect my entire being
Give you my digits to dial so we can reconcile
I'll give you my number so we can make things right
Promise I can make it worth your while
I can assure you it will be worth your time to give us a chance
Cause I can't hide how you make me feel deep inside
I can't conceal the way I feel about you
Do you think of me
Do thoughts of me cross your mind?
I'm always thinking about you
I'm constantly thinking about you
Do you dream of me
Do you dream about me?
Oooh yes-I'm dreaming about you
I dream about you myself
Don't you understand
Do you not get it?
Oh no I can't live without you
I can't imagine living without you
Baby if you can't read the signs
If you don't know how I feel
I'm letting you know that you're on my mind
I'm telling you, you're all I think about
Am I coming on too strong
Am I overwhelming you with my feelings?
Coming on a little too strong for you
Are my feelings too intense for you?
Are you the kind of man who likes the chase
Do you prefer a challenge in relationships?
Never been that kind of girl
I'm not the kind of girl that plays games
I've never been the kind of girl to waits
I don't like waiting around for things to happen
I just get too impatient
I tend to be impatient when I want something
I wanna make or break it
I want to either make this work or move on
Do things my own way
I'm not one to conform to what others expect of me
Those games I don't play
I won't play games in relationships
We could be creating something so exhilarating
We have the potential to create something amazing
So stop debating, hesitating
Don't hesitate or second-guess yourself about us
Why would you wanna keep this girl waiting
Why would you want to make me wait any longer?
I wonder if I'm ever on your mind
I'm curious if you think of me the way I think of you
I wish that you would just give me the time
I hope you'll give me a chance
So that I could find out what lies behind those mysterious eyes
I want to know more about you
Don't even play
Don't act like you don't know how I feel

I've been a huge fan since I bought your all's album at Walmart when I was like 14. I have religiously listened to it throughout the years. I love crushed... It's one of my anthems. I was only & unbelievably you also make my day when I hear them. The entire album is a wonderful triumph and will always be special to me. I love this song as well and just want you all to know you have influenced me as an artist. Thank you for the music & the joy.
