At the age of one, Ruth loved the film Annie and would sing along in English, even though she had no idea what the words meant. Her mother nurtured Ruth's love of music by playing music and dancing with her.
Ruth was six when she first heard Monserat Caballet, an opera singer in Spain and she started to sing opera when her mother bought her Monserat's album. Ruth imitated her vocals until she was pitch perfect to the iconic Spanish opera singer.
At twelve years old, Ruth moved to America with her family and this was the first time Ruth had the opportunity to get involved with music at school. She took every music, theatre, dance and choir lesson going and all of her teachers encouraged Ruth, she was put into competitions and played lead roles in My Fair Lady and Phantom of the Opera.
The family moved back to Spain when Ruth was 16 and although Ruth had some singing lessons by this point, she had to give them up due to the financial difficulties her family were having. Ruth gave up on her dream as it was becoming clear that it would never be something that would pay the bills.
Ruth was approached by a rock band when she was 19 this was a new challenge because she had only ever sung classical music. Ruth made the decision that she would give up her job at the family business and follow her dream once again. The band became very close as the toured Spain and Ruth stayed with them for 3 years.
Before X Factor UK, at the age of 19, Ruth auditioned for 'Operacion Triunfo' Spain's biggest TV talent show at the time.

Eternity
Ruth Lorenzo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cradled in our arms
Memories locked in a cardboard box
The pain just melts away
Eternity without you
Is meaningless to me
Eternity is just too long
Your strength's my only weakness
Makes me tremble at the knees
My love, i'm just. taking it back
If you're not here with me
Eternity without you
Is meaningless to me
Eternity is just too long
If you're not here with me
Eternity without you
The endless agony
Eternity is just too long
Share eternity with me
It was so hot in Venice
It was just me and you
We threw a penny in the wishing well
Made my dreams come true
Spend eternity with me
The song "Eternity" by Ruth Lorenzo is a love song that speaks about the desire to spend eternity with someone who is deeply loved. The first verse uses imagery to explain the desire to preserve memories of the times that are spent with the loved one. The pain that one might experience is transient and can be forgotten as long as the memories are preserved. Ruth Lorenzo expresses the sentiment that eternity without the loved one feels empty, hence the need to have eternity where the loved one is present.
The second verse of "Eternity" is an ode to the strength that the loved one gives the singer. The strength makes the singer feel weak and tremble at the knees. The singer vows to take back her love if the loved one is not there to be with her. The chorus reiterates the fact that eternity without the loved one is meaningless because the singer cannot spend that length of time without the loved one.
In the closing, Ruth Lorenzo offers a beautiful memory that was shared with her loved one in Venice. They threw a penny in a wishing well and made her dreams come true. The final line of the song, "Spend eternity with me," speaks to the hope that the loved one will always be there, enabling them to share eternity and all the beautiful memories that would come with it.
