1) Jenny… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two artists by the name of Jenny Morris.
1) Jenny Morris OAM is a New Zealand-born Australian pop, rock singer-songwriter. Began singing in the Wide-Mouthed Frogs in the late '70s. She joined The Crocodiles in 1980 and moved to Sydney, Australia, with that band in 1981. The Crocodiles disbanded soon after.
Morris released a number of solo singles as well as an album with QED. The latter produced three singles that were only minor successes in Australia. In 1985, Morris joined INXS as a backing singer for the Listen Like Thieves world tour, before releasing her first solo album (Body & Soul) in 1987. The disc was a success, selling over 70,000 copies in Australia (platinum status), and produced a number of hit singles, including "You I Know," written by Neil Finn.
Her second album, Shiver, consolidated her position as one of Australia's leading female singer/songwriters by selling over 250,000 copies, although her third disc (Break in the Weather) was a comparative flop, producing one hit single plus two others that missed the Top 40 completely. The Story So Far, a best-of compilation, was released in 1992, but the rest of the '90s saw little of note from Morris, apart from an album called Salvation Jane in 1995.
The appropriately titled single βDowntimeβ arrived in 2002 with the album Hit & Myth following later that year.
In January 2003, on Australia Day became an Australian citizen.
In 2004 Listen: The Very Best of Jenny Morris was released, with the Alive DVD landing in 2005. A year later, Clear Blue in Stormy Skies appeared, filled with acoustic versions of some of the singerβs most popular songs.
In January 2010, on Australia Day received Australian of the Year.
2) Jenny Morris, later to join the pop girl group Innosense in 1999, released a country album, Girl on the Run in 1997.

You're gonna find her
Waiting for some recognition
It's her transiton to recognition
She has to be loved
She want to be needed
Don't want to be hated
See the beauty in her eyes
She love to be looked at
See her come alive
See her come alive
Now she's the perfect person
Radiates the perfect presence

Just love to be wanted

Is it not amazing how a simple [yet great] song such as this can fill you with so much joy whilst transporting you back in time - flooding you mind with so many happy memories from your past.
This one took me right back to what I still consider my "happy place"... Brisbane November 1989. To the love of my life Fiona β€ (Fi), in the Bowen Terrace backpackers.
Such great memories, reminding me of happy times and "what if's and maybe" had things turned out differently back then. π€
But for now, I've got this song on repeat, a tear in my eye and a smile on my face. Ah... memories - just like a tune. So hard to get out of your head.
So to Fi & and her best friend from Dunedin [Julie]... here's to happy times π» Thank you π
