Her passion for music began at age 12, with a 7 year stint singing as a backup vocalist with a local Ottawa band. She devoted virtually all her spare time practising the many different choreographs, along with aerobic training to ensure she was in top shape for her live performances of non-stop singing and dancing. Even at that young age, Emjay was willing to work hard and do what it took to attain her dream; to one day become a lead singer. The effort was well recognised; the band won 8 American Guild Awards. Still with the band in 1993, Emjay won first place as Pop Solo Artist at the American Guild Awards.
In 1994 she recorded a solo project, resulting in her first recording contract with Primus, and the song "Sound Of My Heartbeat", which charted at #7 on The Record's Dance chart. More singles followed, "Fascinated" (a cover of the 1986 hit by Company B) rose to #5, "Flying To The Moon" to #3, and her biggest success yet to come, "In Your Arms". In July 1995, she performed at the Théâtre du Forum in Montreal alongside Bananarama, Whigfield, Los Del Mar, BKS and others, in front of a 5000 capacity-crowd.
In August 1995, Emjay's first album, In Your Arms was released. This debut earned her five hit singles in Canada, and In Your Arms led to her first Juno for Best Dance Recording at the 26th Annual Juno Awards, on January 29, 1997, and a MuchMusic Video Award.
In November 1997 Emjay signed with Tycoon Records. Although a new album never appeared, her single "Over & Over" led to Emjay once again being nominated for Best Dance Recording at the Juno Awards.
Bring Me
Emjay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It seems to drag on and on
He said he can't, he says he won't
And when it happens he says:
Don't talk away, don't walk away
Tomorrow is another day
Please stay with me, how can't you see
Bring me to another place
We go toward the time and space
Hope I can find a way
To move on, to move on forever
Bring me to another day
Take me up, take me far away
Got to see what love will bring
For me, for me to be here
Take some chance, another romance
Want me to take a second chance
I know you throw my heart and go
My mind is strained, can't engage
Don't take my heart, don't stop a start
Tomorrow is another day
You're not for me. How can't you see
I need a man to take me away
So you see you know you are wrong
I always knew you were too strong
Now you know, you've been told
I hope you find the soul you sold
The soul you sold
The soul you sold
The soul you sold
Don't change my mind another time
Tomorrow is another day
Start to see, you're not with me
I need a man to take me away
The main theme of this song is about the desire for change, moving on and finding love. The singer is talking about a situation where she feels stuck with a man who is not giving her what she needs emotionally. She pleads with him to take her away, to bring her to another place, to a time and space where they could be happy together. She wants to move on forever and find a new day where she can be with someone who will love her the way she wants to be loved.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful where she begs him not to walk away or talk away from her as she needs someone to be with her. She cannot foresee what tomorrow will bring, but she is hoping that it will be a new love or a new chance at love. The bridge of the song is where she realizes that the man she is with is not right for her, and that she needs to find someone else.
The lyrics of this song are simple yet powerful, and they convey the emotions and struggles of a woman who is in a difficult relationship. It is a song that many people can relate to, as everyone has gone through a situation where they are not getting what they need emotionally from a partner. The song brings out a sense of longing and hope, and it gives the listener a sense of comfort that they are not alone in their struggles.

Start to see, you're not with me
He's being told that we're not meant to be together
I need a man to take me away
I still want to find someone who will make me happy and take me away from this situation
