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.

Natalie Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He was warm - he came around like
He was dignified
He showed me what it was to cry
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You don't seem to know - don't seem to care
What your heart is for
No I don't know him anymore
There's nothin' where we used to lie
Conversation has run dry
That's what's going on
Nothing's fine
I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am chained
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm cold and I am shamed and bound
And broken on the floor
And I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
So I guess the fortune teller's right
I should have seen just what was there
And not some holy light
But you crawled beneath my veins
And now I don't care
I have no luck
I don't miss it all that much
There's just so many things
That I can't touch
There's nothing where he used to lie
My conversation has run dry
That's what is goin' on
Nothin's right
I'm torn
I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake
And I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn
The song "Torn" by Natalie Brown depicts a complicated and painful relationship where the singer has been left feeling torn and broken. The opening lyrics "I thought I saw a man brought to life, He was warm - he came around like he was dignified" describe the first impression the singer had of her lover, an impression that was later shattered. The next lines, "He showed me what it was to cry, Well you couldn't be that man I adored" reveal that the man was not what she thought he was, and she has been hurt by him.
The subsequent lyrics show a relationship that has lost its way with "nothing where we used to lie" and "conversation has run dry." The singer is torn and feels like she has lost her faith with "I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel," demonstrating how deeply she has been hurt. The use of the phrase "lying naked on the floor" further emphasises the emotional vulnerability of the singer. The line "the perfect sky is torn" contradicts the ideal of a perfect relationship and brings us back to the idea that this relationship is far from perfect.
Line by Line Meaning
I thought I saw a man brought to life
I thought I found someone who made me feel alive
He was warm - he came around like
He was kind - he made me feel comfortable
He was dignified
He had a sense of respect and honor
He showed me what it was to cry
He allowed me to show my vulnerable side
Well you couldn't be that man I adored
You have shown me that you are not the person I loved
You don't seem to know - don't seem to care
You are unaware or unconcerned about how I feel
What your heart is for
What your true intentions and emotions are
No I don't know him anymore
I have lost the person I once knew
There's nothing where we used to lie
Where we used to connect, there is now emptiness
Conversation has run dry
We no longer have anything to talk about
That's what's going on
This is the situation we are in
Nothing's fine
Everything is falling apart
I'm torn
I am deeply conflicted
I'm all out of faith
I have lost trust and belief
This is how I feel
This is the emotion I am experiencing
I'm cold and I am chained
I am emotionally disconnected and trapped
Lying naked on the floor
I am vulnerable and exposed
Illusion never changed
The false sense of safety and love never turned into something real
Into something real
Into a genuine, authentic relationship
I'm cold and I am shamed and bound
I feel ashamed and restricted in expressing myself
And broken on the floor
I am shattered and hurt
And I can see the perfect sky is torn
Even something that was once thought to be perfect is now flawed
You're a little late
You have missed your chance
I'm already torn
I have already been emotionally damaged
So I guess the fortune teller's right
Maybe the predictions of a fortune teller were accurate
I should have seen just what was there
I should have been aware of what was really happening
And not some holy light
And not some false sense of righteousness or purity
But you crawled beneath my veins
You insinuated yourself deeply into my life
And now I don't care
And now I feel apathetic towards many things
I have no luck
I am not fortunate
I don't miss it all that much
I don't particularly long for it
There's just so many things
There are so many things beyond my control
That I can't touch
That I cannot affect or change
Nothin's right
Everything feels wrong
I'm wide awake
I am alert and conscious

The 90's feel so different. Not just a nostalgic thing, but like we crossed a threshold into another world that we can never come back from. Everything feels so different.
@GabrielLopez-nd5fc
Before smartphones ruined it all and before 9 11 were the last of the good ol'days there was violence back then too but people were different they weren't zombies like today with their phones, a world without smartphones think about it that was beautiful ❤️❤️❤️😳🤳😳🤳😳🤳😳🤳😳🤳😳🤳
@Nixie_536
Totally agree..🤍🔆⚘Miss them days so much.
Everything is so different now beyond words.. but you both captured it well.
This song is also how I feel about the world; wide awake, torn broken on the floor.
Wide eyed but aware. 🙏🏻
Out of faith , ashamed of humanity 💔 at times. Torn. It's the extremes of everything and how people treat one another .. total disregard and like they aren't a being at all.
@mesya6893
absolutely the same. I would love to be an adult in the 90s...
