Wilde grew up as part of a family group, La Voyage, playing in local clubs. In the 1970s, the group became Tight Connection, and was later known as Simplicious. Broomfield also recorded an album with Curtom Records in 1979 as a member of Today, Tomorrow, Forever. He changed his name after seeing an advertisement in a newspaper for a nightclub which he had gone to the night before. He had sex with a hooker and then decided to call it the Wilde Flowers of sex.
In 1984 he joined Philly World Records, and wrote and recorded his first hit, "Gotta Get You Home Tonight", which rose to #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and also made #18 on the UK Singles Chart. After a couple of less successful follow-ups, he hit #1 again a year later with "Don't Say No Tonight". He also had some lesser hits, including "Diana" (1986), but his career stalled when his record label collapsed.
In 1987 he recorded a duet with Sheena Easton, "What If We Fall in Love", which appeared on Easton's album, No Sound But a Heart.
Subsequent releases on the MCA label, solo and with the group Cabo Frio, were less successful. He later ran the independent label Wilde City Records in Florida. Wilde continued his career, expanding into becoming a professional songwriter. He has written hits such as "I'll Never Break Your Heart" for the Backstreet Boys and "I Wish" for Victoria Beckham. He also continues to record his own songs. Visit both http://www.celerityrecords.com/eugene.html and http://www.myspace.com/eugenewildeofficialpage his official websites.
Show Me the Way
Eugene Wilde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
-----------------
[Verse I]
Tell Me.Is something Wrong.?
What does it take for you to respond.
Because I tried.
Every trick in the book.
I'm sure you must be .holding back.
Cause you should be responding.
To my commands.
Yet, you sit here
In full control...
And by now... you should be ready
To Explode.
So, why don't you.
Chorus:
Show me the way... show me...
To your heart.
Why don't you.
Show me, show me, show me...
Show me the way...(show me)
To your heart.
Why? don't you
Show me, show me, show me.
Show me.(the way).
Verse II:
You tell me.
When i buy roses for you lady.
That i really think that it's time.(oh)
To prove that.
You really care about me lady.
Then why? won't you give me
A sign.
But, when it's time to reveal...
Your too afraid to show me how you feel...
If it's time you need...
Please tell me...
Or let me know.
If i'm doing something wrong.
So, why? don't you.
(repeat chorus.instrumental break)
Vamp:
I'm not saying.that we're wasting time...
But, Girl Let's get Cozy.
Come lay beside Me.
Let's Take a Ride
Into Paradise.
I'll satisfy your.
Insecurities just fine.
Why? Don't You...
(Repeat chorus-adlib till fade)
Taken off the Eugene Wilde CD/LP "I Choose You " (Tonight) .
The lyrics of Eugene Wilde’s “Show Me The Way” seem to be coming from someone who is struggling to express their own feelings towards their significant other, who is not responding to their attempts to connect. The first verse suggests that the singer has tried many ways to get the attention of their partner but nothing is working. He seems to be holding back his true feelings and expects his partner to respond to his commands. However, his partner remains in full control and is not ready to reveal how they truly feel. The chorus is a plea for his partner to open up and show him the way to their heart. The second verse continues with the singer’s struggles as he tries to understand why his partner is holding back. He wants to know whether there is something he is doing wrong, and he wants to be rewarded with a sign of her feelings for him. The vamp at the end of the song seems to be giving his partner the ultimatum to either show him affection or they would just be wasting time in their relationship.
Overall, the lyrics of the song explore the idea that communication is key when it comes to relationships. A healthy relationship requires both parties to open up, express their feelings and communicate regularly. Without communication, it is easy for misunderstandings and doubt to fester which can lead to further problems down the line. Eugene Wilde’s “Show Me The Way” serves as a reminder to express one’s feelings openly and to encourage one’s partner to do the same.
