In 1999 Neja releases "The Game", the winning track from A Song For The Summer. That same whirlwind year she performs it on the popular Italian music show Festivalbar and flies to Japan to promote the single. The Game also becomes the title of her first album, whose ten tracks let Neja expand her repertoire to include pop music Fairytale and Mum’s Day.
But The Game doesn’t say goodbye to dance music: January 2000 sees a dance remix of Fairytale circulating around Europe. She travels to Germany to shoot a video to be distributed by Universal. Later that summer Neja releases the new single Singin Nanana and appears a second time on Festivalbar.
In 2001 Neja releases Time Flies and Back 4 The Morning, the latter of which launches her for the first time into American consciousness. She flies to New York, Boston, and San Antonio for successful performances.
In 2002 Neja signs with Universal to sharpen her focus on pop music. Looking For Something is the summer hit that brings her for a third time to Festivalbar and opens the way to her second album Hot Stuff, including the single To The Music.
From 2003 to 2005, Neja performs for her devoted fans in Italy and other parts of Europe, as well as in India as a representative of an Italian clothing company.
In 2005 she signs with the label Melodica which releases her 11th single "Who’s gonna be?", a pop-ish song with several remixes (raggae, dance, rock...) and a video.
In 2007 with a new team production composed by Ivan Russo (Atollo records) and the french dj Benjamin Braxton (Sound4label) Neja returns to the dance music with the new single Catwalk, released at first in France. She’s now writing her third album.
2008 is the year of sperimentation for her, she returns to her old "root": jazz , recording Acousticlub, an album of cover hits rearranged in an acoustic, jazzy way (as Sweet dreams, Papa don't preach, man in the mirror, hit me baby one more time...) and a new version of her songs (Destiny and The game). She likes this project so much that she records another album of this kind called 133 Sushiclub in collaboration with two excellent musicians (guitarist cristian Montgnani and Bass player Larry Mancini).
2009 is dedicated to dance music again... Loving you is the new single in collaboration with two deejays from Turin, Peter Damir and Gianluca Argante. The song is in promotion in Uk and rising the club charts...
Sweet Dreams
Neja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas.
Everybody's looking for something.
Some of them want to use you.
Some of them want to get used by you.
Some of them want to abuse you.
I wanna use you and abuse you.
I wanna know what's inside you.
(Whispering and Moaning:
Hold your head up, movin' on.
Keep your head up, movin' on.)
Movin' on!
I'm gonna use you and abuse you.
I'm gonna know what's inside.
Gonna use you and abuse you.
I'm gonna know what's inside you.
Neja's song Sweet Dreams is a deep commentary on human behavior that explores our search for fulfillment and the lengths we are willing to go to find it. The lyrics "Sweet dreams are made of these. Who am I to disagree? Travel the world and the seven seas. Everybody's looking for something," suggest that everyone is searching for something, be it love, money, power, or fame. Neja is acknowledging that a desire to fill a void in our lives is inherent in human nature.
However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that there are those who will use, abuse, and manipulate in order to obtain what they want. The lines "Some of them want to use you. Some of them want to get used by you. Some of them want to abuse you. Some of them want to be abused," suggest that not everyone is prepared to play by the rules. Some people are happy to exploit others in order to attain their goals.
