Right after High School, although he thought of going to university, he began writing seriously his first songs, while at the same time studying composition and arrangement.
Since his first album "Let's not talk about it", including the hit "Survivor", Mike carried through his activity as an author and composer with great success, other than for himself as in "Let Me In", for other artists, in this particular case for Amii Stewart in "Friends" (already on top of both Black American and English charts) and "Together", where he is again author-composer.
The following year, he came out with his second LP, "Features", which shows undoubtedly his musical evolution as well as particular artistic inspiration. Among the ten songs within the album, starting with a prelude, we suggest you listen to "Features of Love" and "You can't get out of my Heart" to better comprehend the progressive growth of his musical personality. This album includes also the hit "Together", and the remake of two old hits "I'm not in Love" by 10 CC and "Lovely Day" by Bill Withers.
"Dusty Road" is another of Mike's great songs. A "Classics" or other greatest hits collections from Mike are also available for those who want to discover the music of this artist who specialized in a melodic and very sophisticated form of dance music.
Don't You Know
Mike Francis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By: Mike Francis
don't you know I can be calm for hours and hours when I am lying in your arms.
as I begin to feel the motion synchronizing can u tell.
for every single beat your heart makes I took a breath in time with you.
though you keep talking more and more I'm always listening to.
close my eyes and then.
it only takes for a minute until I find my thoughts are filled with you.
and I never understood how I made you feel the same and true.
I hear your voice inside me as I lay across your body.
and the noises all around me fade into the sound of you.
I drift away
when I'm with you
so far away
away with you
don't you know can't you see that I go silent every time you touch me.
all of my fears and troubles live with every word I had for you.
I start to dream and you were with me giving me warmth and safety.
I couldn't tell you how I feeling when I feel this way babe.
close my eyes and then.
it only takes for a minute until I find my thoughts are filled with you.
and I never understood how I made you feel the same and true.
I hear your voice inside me as I lay across your body.
and the noises all around me fade into the sound of you.
I drift away
when I'm with you
so far away
away with you
if only I could do for you all the things you've done for me.
if only I could give you everything you gave to me.
baby I'd lay my head down next to yours knowing you could finally see.
that all that I ever wanted is there to be only. only you and me...
don't you know. don't you know.
lalalalalala... lalalalala...
don't you know I can be calm for hours and hours when I am lying in your arms.
can u tell...
for every single beat your heart makes I took a breath in time with you.
In Mike Francis's "Don't You Know," the artist shares deeply emotional and introspective feelings that relate to a profound connection between two lovers. He starts by saying that he can remain calm for hours when he is wrapped in the loving embrace of his partner. He says he feels a synchronization between them and even breathes in time with each other's heartbeat. Despite his partner talking, he is always listening to them. He could close his eyes and drift away into a world where everything disappears except for them. This level of intimacy between two people is rare, and Francis expresses it in this song.
He continues by expressing how being close to his partner makes him calm and fills his thoughts with them. Francis acknowledges that he never truly understood how he made his partner feel so lovingly towards him. It's a deep and intimate connection that he feels inside himself when he lies across their body. Despite the noise of the world around them, everything fades away when he is with his partner, and all he hears and feels is them. He ends by saying he would do anything for his partner if only he could give back all they've done for him and that all he has ever wanted is to be with them... only with them.
Overall, the lyrics of "Don't You Know" speak to the profound love two individuals share with each other. It's a love that creates an emotional and spiritual connection between two souls that transcends all other noise in the world. The song expresses the dream of finding a partner who can make us feel safe, loved, and cherished above all things.
