Emma lives in Sint-Katelijne-Waver (near Mechelen), and goes to Hagelstein College. She took on dancing lessons from an early age and now shares the stage with her musical classmates.
She enjoys and has discovered singing, like many people, in the shower and in the bedroom. But her first steps as a true singer before a big audience were with The Voice Kids, where she performed 'Somewhere only we know', a song by Keane.
It was there that she met lots of people from the music industry including Hans Francken (producer, Musical Director) and Ingrid Mank (songwriter, vocal coach).
Together they combine their talents in a music & singing Studio, called the PopVilla.
This is where Emma knocked on the door asking Hans to try out and record a few songs such as "All I want", a Kodaline cover.
Only 2 hours later, the recording was finished! Because Emma and Hans thought it sounded 'ok', they decided to upload the self-made video to YouTube and release the track on iTunes.
Within one week, the single went straight to the top in iTunes at #1 and Emma's YouTube channel welcomed more than 300.000 visitors within that first week of release.
This success didn't go unnoticed. Clouseau (a very popular band in Belgium) invites Emma as supporting act at their 4 concerts at the Antwerp Sportpaleis with a sold-out capacity of over 15.000 visitors every night.
Emma Bale loves listening to Mumford & Sons, Kings of Leon, Keane, the Civil Wars, Imagine Dragons, Florence & the Machine, Sam Smith and George Ezra.
Emma doesn't have a musical idol because she prefers listening to special songs that move her, as she says, especially when they are from unknown artists.
She is working on her own debut EP right now...
All I Want
Emma Bale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To hear you knocking at my door
'Cause if I could see your face once more
I could die a happy man I'm sure
When you said your last goodbye
I died a little bit inside
I lay in tears in bed all night
But if you loved me
Why'd you leave me?
Take my body
Take my body
All I want is,
And all I need is
To find somebody.
I'll find somebody like you
Oh oh
like you
Oh oh
So you brought out the best of me,
A part of me I've never seen.
You took my soul and wiped it clean.
Our love was made for movie scenes
But if you loved me
Why'd you leave me?
Take my body,
Take my body.
All I want is,
And all I need is
To find somebody.
I'll find somebody
like you
Oh oh
like you
Oh oh
like you
The lyrics of Emma Bale's "All I Want" is about someone who longs for the presence of a past lover. The song's opening lines state, "All I want is nothing more, to hear you knocking at my door." This implies that the singer wishes for a reunion with the person they are addressing. They also mention that seeing their former flame's face once again would be enough to make them a "happy man", suggesting that the person holds a significant place in their life.
However, the chorus sees a shift in tone as the singer questions the reasons behind the breakup. They ask, "If you loved me, why'd you leave me?" and offer their body as a plea for reconciliation. The line, "Our love was made for movie scenes," reveals that the relationship may have had its own share of romantic moments and left an impact on the singer. Overall, the song speaks to an unrequited love and a longing for a past lover.
Line by Line Meaning
All I want is nothing more
All I desire is simply one thing
To hear you knocking at my door
For the sound of your fist hitting my entrance
'Cause if I could see your face once more
If only I could catch a glimpse of your countenance again
I could die a happy man I'm sure
My spirit would be content to depart from this life
When you said your last goodbye
At the time of your final farewell to me
I died a little bit inside
A fraction of me ceased to exist within
I lay in tears in bed all night
I wailed whilst resting on my mattress throughout the night
Alone without you by my side
Solitarily existing without your presence beside me
But if you loved me
However, if your feelings towards me were affectionate
Why'd you leave me?
What reasons compelled you to abandon me?
Take my body
If it pleases you, take possession of my physical form
All I want is,
My desires are comprised of
And all I need is
My necessities consist of
To find somebody.
To discover another person
I'll find somebody like you
I am certain that I will locate someone akin to you
Our love was made for movie scenes
The romance we shared was suited for cinematic displays
So you brought out the best of me,
Therefore, you summoned the most admirable aspects of my character
A part of me I've never seen.
A facet of myself that I had never previously encountered
You took my soul and wiped it clean.
You purged my soul of all impurities and instilled me with purity
Take my body,
If you so desire, lay claim to my physical form
like you
Who is akin to you
Oh oh
Oh oh
like you
Who is analogous to you
Oh oh
Oh oh

My mom passed away from pancreatic cancer this past year, was healthy as can be and then given 4 months to live out of nowhere. She was my best friend and I miss her so much. I know a lot of people probably think of this as a breakup song but to me these words hit hard. "When we said our last goodbye...I died a little bit inside." I am thankful to have been able to say goodbye but ugh we just weren't ready for it. Love this song and absolutely love this cover.

Infelizmente nunca estaremos prontos para o Adeus Eterno. Sentiremos inúmeras dores quando somos obrigados a dar esse adeus eterno

My mother died the same.
But what got me was my wife dying months before. Searching for, as the song. God only knows the way.
