1) MICHELLE is a fresh musical collective hailing from New York City. Weaving in and out of R&B, Pop, Jazz and Indie sounds, the group of six pays homage to these genres through 70s inspired basslines, driving drum beats, plush synths and enticing vocals. Having recently celebrated their first year on the scene as an ensemble, MICHELLE is already solidifying itself as a strong current in a new wave of emerging NYC staples. MICHELLE’s unique stylings are the result of fine-tuned production and arrangements by Julian Kaufman and Charlie Kilgore, with singers Jamee Lockard, Layla Ku, Sofia D’Angelo, and Emma Lee churning out illustrative lyrics and powerful harmonics. Written and recorded in Kaufman’s bedroom over the span of two weeks, their debut album “HEATWAVE” captures a compilation of sentimental moments – snapshots of youth through a New York summer, all immediately recognizable to those who’ve lived them (and those that have wished to).  

2) German singer Tanja Shitawey (née Hewer) (born February 15, 1972 in Villingen-Schwenningen), she represented Germany in the ESC 2001 with "Wer Liebe lebt" ("To Live for Love").
3) Michelle McManus from the UK was the UK Pop Idol winner in 2003 and is best known for "All This Time", just credited 'Michelle' on her releases.

4) Dutch singer Michelle Courtens participated at the ESC 2001, she did perform "Out on my own" to place 18.

5) Michelle Narine from Trinidad released the track "Standing Here All Alone" in 1996 in the UK.

6) Norwegian singer Michelle Purvis did perform "Baby don't stop the music" in the Norwegian selection to ESC 2008.

7) A four piece band from Spain that formed in 2000. They released their first full length album in 2007, titled Rock 'n' Roll Babilonia

Weil Wir Wehrlos Sind
Michelle Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Geht das schon wieder los
hab' ich mir nur gedacht
hab' doch gerade erst
mit Liebe Schluss gemacht
uns war beiden klar
irgendwas beginnt
weil wir wehrlos sind

Erst ein paar Blicke nur
so im vorübergeh'n
Totaler Grossalarm
ich muss dich wiederseh'n
klarer Geist in mir
du hast ausgedient
weil wir wehrlos sind

Ich hab' gespielt und verloren
weil nur der Wahnsinn gewinnt -
weil wir wehrlos sind
du kannst dich dreh'n oder wenden
dein Herz gehört immer dem Wind -
weil wir wehrlos sind
denn nur aus Liebe zur Liebe
kann alles gescheh'n
und manchmal macht Liebe
auch blind
weil wir wehrlos sind
weil wir total wehrlos sind

Es ist ein Teufelskreis und
wir zwei mittendrin
sag endlich gnadenlos:
das gibt doch keinen Sinn
bevor die Gänsehaut
uns den Atem nimmt
weil wir wehrlos sind
du hast mich angeseh'n
hast meine Hand berührt
vielleicht nur einfach so
doch ich hab' Glut gespürt
war im Augenblick hilflos
wie ein Kind weil wir
wehrlos sind

Ich hab' gespielt und verloren...

Ich hab' gespielt und verloren

Overall Meaning

"Weil Wir Wehrlos Sind" is a German song by Michelle that talks about the power of love and how it can make people vulnerable and helpless. The lyrics depict a situation where the singer has just ended a relationship, but is drawn back to their former partner due to their feelings. Although they are aware of the consequences of falling back in love, they are powerless to resist the temptation. The song highlights the danger of love and how it can put people in a dangerous cycle that they cannot break free from without suffering.

The song opens with the singer expressing their disbelief that they are feeling drawn back to their former love interest. They had just ended their relationship, but the lure of love has made them weak and vulnerable. The lyrics show that both parties are equally powerless, and that they cannot resist the pull of love. They know that something is beginning, and they cannot stop it. The chorus emphasizes the weakness that love creates, and how it can make people helpless and vulnerable. The second verse describes how the singer feels helpless in the face of love. They are drawn to their former love interest like a moth to a flame, and they cannot resist the temptation. The final verse talks about the cycle of love and how it can be dangerous. The singer acknowledges that they have played and lost the game of love, and that it is only the madness of love that wins. The song concludes with the refrain that they are helpless against love because it is too powerful for them to resist.
