A meeting with Herbert resulted in the two working together and eventually marrying; it's Siciliano's voice that graces the likes of "Going Round," "Leave Me Now," and "Suddenly" -- three of Herbert's most successful and original dancefloor-oriented singles. Other outside collaborations with Brooks and fellow Herbert accomplice Phil Parnell were sprinkled throughout the early 2000s. In 2004, Siciliano released her first solo album on K7, Likes..... Though Herbert was on board, Likes... was definitely her show.
On 19 September 2006, Siciliano released her second album, Slappers.

Big Time
Dani Siciliano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right me
I am exploring
Voices, sirens, choices
You've been ignoring
My sight stops at nothing
Is it informing
Life lines, lost lives cut tines
This is big time
Pirate ship
With a mooring
In your favourite slip
This anchor's recoiling
Mastheads we've lead now you jump without wearing
Champagne new name big time sets in the morning
This is big time
Champagne
New name
Big time
Here is big time
Reel from
Wakes she is splitting
In this cap sized kiss
Rise up to her calling
Could it be she's taking me away to sea
A kiss of leave
A small wave to me
Could it be she's taking me to depths and leagues
Return to me
Not easy to fathom
Could it be explaining where I need to be
Adrift from thee
Escaping these moorings
Could it be explaining what I need to breath
A chance to feel the rocking of mourning
Could it be she's taking me away to sea
A kiss of leave
A small wave to me
Could it be explaining where I need to be
Adrift from thee
Escaping these moorings
Could it be she's taking me to depths and leagues
Return to me
Not easy to fathom
Could it be she's taking me away to sea

The song "Big Time" by Dani Siciliano is a reflection on the desire for adventure and exploration. The lyrics describe the singer's willingness to take on new challenges and experiences, even if they come with risks and unknown outcomes. The first verse speaks of voices and sirens that the singer has been ignoring, indicating a sense of pent-up excitement and a readiness to take action. The imagery of lost lives and life lines being cut suggests a willingness to let go of the past and forge new paths.
The second verse continues with the nautical theme, likening the singer's exploration to a pirate ship with a mooring. The anchor recoiling and mastheads leading the way indicate the excitement and anticipation of setting sail. "Champagne new name big time sets in the morning" reinforces the idea that this is a momentous occasion, worthy of celebration and marking a new chapter in the singer's life.
In the bridge, the singer reflects on the potential consequences of their choices, wondering if they will be taken away to sea or if they will return to familiar shores. The repetition of "could it be" highlights the uncertainty and sense of possibility inherent in taking on new challenges.
