Their sophomore release, Anything Goes, failed to match the mainstream success of its predecessor although it did produce a #1 on the Club Chart, "Do You Wanna Get Funky." The group disbanded in 1994 when David Cole died of complications from spinal meningitis.
Clivillés and Cole had recorded dance music under other names, and had showcased different vocalists prior to starting their C+C Music Factory project. Their production work for the group Seduction is the most well-known of these earlier endeavours. After the huge success of their debut, they became highly sought after producers and worked with Mariah Carey, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam, Whitney Houston, and James Brown amongst others.
A Deeper Love
C+C Music Factory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I haven't heard a single word
But my message lights are blinking
Everyday when I get home from work
Hesitation then I hang up
And I'm hoping it was you who phoned me
So I'm gonna change my greeting
I wanna make it clear
Next time you call here
Leave a message Juanita
Let me know that you called
Tell me how I can reach ya
Is there hope after all?
My love, the tears we cried won't be in vain
Honey, I'll take all the blame
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
Leave a message, Juanita
And I'll crawl back to you
I called up your momma
Even talked to all your friends
But they wasn't talking
And they told me not to call again
I said, "I understand"
But would somebody help me please
If you see Juanita could you
Tell her that I'm on my knees
I wanna make it right
I miss her everyday and night
Leave a message Juanita
Let me know that you called
Tell me how I can reach ya
Is there hope after all?
My love, the tears we cried won't be in vain
Honey, I'll take all the blame
There ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
Leave a message, Juanita
And I'll crawl back to you
Leave a message, Juanita
And I'll crawl back to you
Leave a message, Juanita
And I'll crawl back to you
The lyrics to C+C Music Factory's song A Deeper Love revolve around a man named Juanita and their complicated relationship. The first stanza sets the scene - it has been three days since the singer has heard from Juanita, and despite their message lights blinking, there hasn't been any direct communication. The second stanza alludes to the singer's hesitancy in picking up the phone, possibly due to the uncertainty or discomfort of the situation, but hopes that Juanita has phoned. The singer decides to change their greeting message to reach out exclusively to Juanita in the hopes of some reconciliation.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the depth of love and the potential for resolution despite the challenges of their situation. The singer takes the blame for whatever happened in their relationship and will do anything to make things right, hence why they beg for Juanita to leave a message that would indicate that there is still a glimmer of hope for them to reconcile. The last stanza has the singer reaching out to Juanita's mother and friends with no results; nevertheless, they remain persistent in their effort to reach Juanita and ask for help from anyone who could relay a message. The chorus plays again in which the singer emphasizes that their love and tears shed will not be in vain, suggesting that they are willing to keep trying to make things work - even if it takes crawling back.

WOW! Love this. This song has the power to awaken every cell in your body. Especially the acoustical rhythms. One of my favorite American high vibrational beats.
