D… Read Full Bio ↴Laura Fygi (born August 27, 1955, in Amsterdam) is a Dutch singer.
Daughter to a Dutch father, a manager at Philips, and an Egyptian mother, a belly dancer by profession, Fygi lived with her parents in South America for the first eight years of her life.
Between 1987 and 1991, she was a member of popular Dutch girl-band, Centerfold. During performances, the trio dressed themselves in sexy lingerie. They had hits in the Netherlands and all over Europe, and were equally famous in Japan.
In 1991, the ladies of Centerfold stopped performing and Fygi (together with Rowan Moore) started a band called The Backlot. After one performance in Dutch theatre Paradiso, an album was expected, but Mercury Records had already asked Fygi to make a solo album. This first album, Introducing Laura Fygi, comprised mostly jazz numbers, and was produced by Ruud Jacobs. In the album, Fygi was accompanied by celebrated Belgian musician Toots Thielemans.

Laura Fygi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To give your heart a song to sing
And then a kiss, but more than this
I wish you love
And in july, a lemonade
To cool you in some leafy glade
I wish you health and more than wealth
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cosy fire to keep you warm
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
My breaking heart and I agree
That you and I could never be
So with my best, my very best
I set you free
I wish you shelter from the storm
A cosy fire to keep you warm
But most of all, when snowflakes fall
I wish you love
The lyrics to Laura Fygi's "Let There Be Love" express a simple but profound sentiment: that love is the most important thing in life, the one thing that truly matters. The opening lines, "Let there be you, Let there be me," are a declaration of unity and partnership, a statement of the importance of two people coming together to create something greater than themselves. The next lines, "Let there be oysters under the sea," are a whimsical, slightly surreal touch that adds a sense of adventure and spontaneity to the song, suggesting that life should be full of surprises and delights.
The rest of the song follows a similar pattern, with each line expressing a different aspect of life that is made richer and more meaningful by love. Wind and rain, chili con carne and champagne, birds singing in the trees and blessings when we sneeze - these are all simple pleasures that become sources of joy and comfort when we share them with someone we love. Towards the end of the song, the lyrics become more fanciful, with references to cuckoos, larks, and doves, but the message remains the same: that love is the key to a fulfilling and happy life.
Overall, "Let There Be Love" is a charming and optimistic song that celebrates the power of love to transform our lives and the world around us. Its lyrics are uplifting and inspirational, reminding us of the beauty and wonder of everyday life, and encouraging us to embrace love and all of the joys that come with it.

I like Laura having her own channel. It's like a pipeline from the real Macoy. Very nice.
