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.
Summertime
Emjay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's all the same to me
Another jab, another crap,
And I wanna be broken heart
Love's ...
When you said that I'm the one
What I need is to get back now
What I need is to be loved
If the time and the feeling's right
In the middle of the summernight
We'll be making love, going on and on
Until the break of dawn
If the time and the feeling's right
In the middle of the summernight
I can take you on, you could be so strong
Until the end of time
They say that times have changed,
Well it seems the same to me
Boy finds love, boy finds another
He's got to get straight in his head now
Can it be that ...
...love is all it seems
Another ..., another ...
Got to play in my head
Gotta keep on going
Gotta keep on loving
Gotta keep on caring
Is it what I see yeah
Just keep on going
Just keep on loving
Just keep on caring
It's just what I see yeah
The song "Summertime" by Emjay talks about the ups and downs of love, and how every relationship seems to have the same pattern. The first verse talks about how the singer is used to people leaving and how he wants to experience heartbreak. He then reminisces about a past relationship where he thought he had found the one, but it didn't work out. The chorus talks about how if the time and feelings are right, they could make love until the break of dawn. The second verse talks about how love always seems to follow the same pattern, and how he needs to straighten his head out. The song ends with the singer talking about how he needs to keep going, keep loving, and keep caring.
The lyrics of the song describe the frustrations that come with relationships, how they always seem to follow the same cycle even though everyone is unique. The singer is looking for a way to break out of the cycle and find something lasting. The chorus is about finding that connection with someone under the right conditions and allowing yourself to fully experience it. The song's message is that love is worth the risk, even though it can be frustrating at times.
Line by Line Meaning
Another ... walks out my door
Another person leave my life and I am indifferent about it
And it's all the same to me
Their departure doesn't affect me because it is a recurring event
Another jab, another crap,
Another hit or negative situation has occurred
And I wanna be broken heart
I long to experience heartbreak, as it would be better than the current situation
Love's ...
Love's effect on me has been a mixed experience
When you said that I'm the one
When you declared that I was the only one for you
What I need is to get back now
I need to go back to the time when we were together
What I need is to be loved
What I need most is love
If the time and the feeling's right
If the conditions for a passionate moment are in place
In the middle of the summernight
During the peak period of summer where the heat and passion are high
We'll be making love, going on and on
We will engage in passionate lovemaking for a considerable time
Until the break of dawn
Until the sunlight illuminates the scene
I can take you on, you could be so strong
I can handle you during the moment because you are physically and emotionally strong
Until the end of time
Until the conclusion of our lifetimes
They say that times have changed,
People have declared that the world is different now
Well it seems the same to me
But to me, things appear the same as before
Boy finds love, boy finds another
Men experience love with a person and later move on to someone else
He's got to get straight in his head now
They must organize their thoughts about the current situation
Can it be that ... love is all it seems
Can love truly be as transparent as it appears?
Another ..., another ...
Another situation, another issue to deal with
Got to play in my head
I must think about it repeatedly
Gotta keep on going
We must continue to press on
Gotta keep on loving
We must keep the love alive
Gotta keep on caring
We must continue to show concern for others
Is it what I see yeah
Is this image in my mind accurate?
Just keep on going
Just continue moving forward
Just keep on loving
Just keep the love alive
Just keep on caring
Just keep being compassionate
It's just what I see yeah
It's simply my perception
