She began her singing career at the age of eight on Australian radio, and during this time she entered and won several talent quests. By the age of 15 she had her first hit record in Australia, with the song "You Made Me What I Am", and she won a "Best Female Vocalist" award. She quickly became a well known celebrity on Australian television, but she felt her career was limited if she remained in Australia. She travelled to the United Kingdom and performed with such groups as Herman's Hermits, The Hollies and the Bee Gees. Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees wrote "The Love Of A Woman" for her, and her recording became a hit in some European countries.
By the mid 1970s she had changed her name to Samantha Sang, and had moved to the United States where she renewed her acquaintance with the Bee Gees. The Gibb brothers wrote another song for her, which coincided with their huge level of popularity, and the single "Emotion" (with back-up vocals by the Bee Gees) became a major hit worldwide. It reached number 3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 in 1978, and earned Sang a platinum record.
Determined to succeed on her own merits, she would not record another Gibb song to capitalise on her success, and chose a disco song, "You Keep Me Dancing" as her next single release. The song did not become a hit, stalling at number 57 in the U.S., and her career faltered.
In 2004, and residing again in Melbourne, Sang announced that she would return to live performing, and that her three albums would be released for the first time on CD.
Charade
Samantha Sang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And at the tide we held our love in our hands
And we listened to music the ocean was playing
The words that our two hearts were saying
That only two lovers can make
Let us ride on the wind while this moment is real
Your the light of my life
And this felling knowing you blessed me forever
And believing I have been touch by your love
And the pleasure of knowing the evening won't tare us apart
We can follow the sun to the day light is gone
We can gaze up the sky till the night is over
Light of my life
You are welcome to my charade
And this felling knowing you blessed me forever
We can follow the sun to the day light is gone
We can gaze at the sky till the night is over
Light of my life
You are welcome to my charade
And this feeling knowing you blessed me forever
We can follow the sun to the day light is gone
We can gaze at the sky till the night is over
Light of my life
You are welcome to my charade
The lyrics of Samantha Sang's "Charade" are about a couple who share a deep and passionate love for each other. The lovers spend their time on the beach, making love in the sand, and holding each other's hands as the tide comes in. They listen to the music of the ocean, a metaphor for the unspoken language between them. Only the two of them can understand the words their hearts are saying.
The chorus of the song, "You are the light of my life, you are welcome to my charade, and this feeling knowing you blessed me forever," speaks to the deep love and commitment the two have for each other. They feel blessed to be with each other and know that their love will never fade away. The second verse continues this theme, with the lovers believing that their love will overcome any obstacle, and they can follow the sun and gaze at the sky together till the night is over.
Overall, "Charade" is a song about the power of love to conquer all, and how two people can create a powerful connection that can withstand anything.
