Natalie's debut album was released in late 2000 and contained thirteen original songs. Created with a thoughtful range of subject matter, tempo and mood throughout the album, "Let The Candle Burn" was enthusiastically welcomed by fans and industry personnel alike. She painted an interesting tapestry of sound on an album that included carefree, upbeat tracks, mid-tempo chillout songs and sweet soulful ballads.
Natalie returned to the studio to record the 2003 Holiday album entitled "A Cool Christmas", a 10 song Cool R&B/Pop influenced collection of Holiday favorites. The album included the beloved "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas", the soaring chime of "Silver Bells" and the quietly understated "I'll Be Home For Christmas". Natalie pulled Ray Charles' "Christmas Time" out of the archives and gave it a light, airy spin that served the tune well. Up-tempo numbers included a Swing infused "Let It Snow" and a contemporary pairing of "Winter Wonderland" and "Sleigh Ride". A mellow-groove rendition of "Give Love on Christmas Day" rounded out the sure-to-please Holiday offering.
In the Spring of 2004 the digital singles 'I Wonder' and 'Queen of Me' were made available on Natalie's official site. The songs garnered tremendous attention and In July 2004, 'Queen of Me' was released by Avex, Inc. Japan on the "Soul Essentials 7" series with songs by Rahsaan Patterson, Earth, Wind & Fire and others.
Much to the delight of fans eagerly awaiting new material, January 30th, 2009 saw the release of the long awaited sophomore album "Random Thoughts". The album features a selection of songs with varying themes (Natalie's Random Thoughts) that range from the inspiring "Hold Your Head Up High", the girl power anthem "Queen of Me" and the uplifting "It's A Beautiful Day", to the thought provoking "What's Going on Next Door?", the unity rallying call of "Come Closer", the sultry "How I Love 2 Love U", the soulful "You're Mysterious" and signature love ballad "I Knew You Were The One", and more.
Natalie has actively been licensing her music for Film/TV and Commercial placements for the past 7 years. She's had music placed on every major North American cable network and premium television programs accross the globe. A partial listing of domestic placements can be found on her website.
Natalie can be found commuting between Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and Maryland / DC, USA. She enjoys reading, creating custom jewelry, mentoring other artists, watching movies and shopping.

Leaves Are Turning
Natalie Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Soft as a breeze in May
It was whispering my name
Moons came
Lighting the season’s change
To a secret shore, we sailed away
And now
Here we are at summer’s end
Wading through the tides of time
Another season comes and goes
Leaves once green will turn to gold
Time won’t break the tie that binds
One mind
When two hearts and souls combine
Brought together by a sacred tie
Sweet wine
I taste when your lips touch mine
Each sip I take gets better with time
Leaves are turning once again
Here we are at summer’s end
Wading through the tides of time
Another season comes and goes
Leaves once green will turn to gold
Time won’t break the tie that binds
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh
Leaves are turning once again
Here we are at summer’s end
Wading through the tides of time
Leaves are turning once again
Another season comes and goes
Leaves once green will turn to gold
Time won’t break the tie that binds
Leaves are turning once again
The lyrics of Natalie Brown's song Leaves Are Turning speak about the passing of time and its effect on relationships. The song opens with an image of love arriving softly, like a breeze in May, and how it whispers the singer's name. The moons lighting the season's change signify the passage of time and the changing of the seasons. The singer speaks of sailing away to a secret shore with their loved one, possibly to escape the changes and demands of time, and now they find themselves once again at summer's end, wading through the tides of time.
The chorus of the song speaks to the cyclical nature of time, how each season comes and goes and the leaves that once were green will turn to gold, but time won't break the tie that binds. The bond between two people, when hearts and souls combine, is a sacred one that endures through the passing of time.
The second verse continues the theme of a strong bond, describing how the touch of the loved one's lips is like sweet wine that gets better with time. The tie that binds them is unbreakable, and they continue to weather the tides of time together.
Overall, Leaves Are Turning is a song about the beauty and fragility of relationships, and how they must endure the passage of time and the changing of the seasons.

Love came
Love entered my life
Soft as a breeze in May
Love arrived gently and peacefully
It was whispering my name
Love was calling out to me in a quiet way
Moons came
Time passed
Lighting the season’s change
Marking the change of seasons
To a secret shore, we sailed away
We escaped to a private place
And now
But now, things are different
Leaves are turning once again
The leaves on the trees are changing colors
Here we are at summer’s end
Summer is almost over
Wading through the tides of time
We’re working through the ups and downs of life
Another season comes and goes
Time continues to move on
Leaves once green will turn to gold
The leaves will transform from green to yellow
Time won’t break the tie that binds
Our love will endure over time
One mind
We share thoughts and feelings
When two hearts and souls combine
Our hearts and souls are united
Brought together by a sacred tie
We were connected by something special
Sweet wine
Our love is like a delicious drink
I taste when your lips touch mine
I feel our love when we kiss
Each sip I take gets better with time
Our love improves as time goes on
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh

Leaves once green will turn to gold
The leaves will transform from green to yellow
Time won’t break the tie that binds
Our love will endure over time
