Shana released an album in 1989 entitled I Want You on Vision Records, which peaked at No. 165 on the Billboard Top 200. The album yielded two U.S. hit singles in 1990, "I Want You" (Billboard Hot 100 peak No. 40) and "You Can't Get Away" (Hot 100 peak No. 82).
After her successes with dance music, Shana disappeared from the mainstream music scene. She reappeared as a country music singer under her full given name, and released three singles with Epic Nashville, "Heaven Bound" in 1998 and "This Time" in 1999. "Heaven Bound" was a hit on CMT and reached No. 60 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. Her third single on country radio was "Something Real", also supported by a music video. Despite three singles, Shana's country music album on Epic Nashville was never released. She is still recording country music but is no longer signed to a major record label.
OUT
Shana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With my hair in the wind.
Blushing deep
Within my very skin.
I am me.
My strength begins to rise,
It′s not time for us to say our "good-byes."
Don't suffer through all your pain alone.
(Simple as that)
Don′t ever forget, the promise that we made
To endure all our pain as one.
What I want to do, I can never do,
But I won't give up 'til I fill up my heart.
I will wake to a new life worth living.
Straight into your arms,
I′ll carry all my love & never let go.
Let′s fly into the sky.
We need no reason why...
Shana's song "Out" is a moving and empowering anthem about taking control of one's life and pursuing one's dreams, even in the face of hardship and adversity. The opening lines, "This is me, With my hair in the wind. Blushing deep Within my very skin," paint a picture of a woman who is unapologetically herself, taking pleasure in the small joys of feeling the wind in her hair and the flush of life in her cheeks. The lines that follow, "I am me. My strength begins to rise, It′s not time for us to say our 'good-byes'," hint at a determination and resilience that are going to be central themes throughout the song. The singer is not going to give up or back down, even when things get tough.
The next lines, "Don't suffer through all your pain alone. Come with me, and all of your despair will dissolve to hope," underscore the idea that we are not meant to face our struggles alone. The power of community and the human connection can help ease our burdens and give us hope for the future. The chorus, "Don′t ever forget, the promise that we made, To endure all our pain as one," reinforces this message, calling on us to support each other through our trials and tribulations.
The verse that follows, "What I want to do, I can never do, But I won't give up 'til I fill up my heart. I will wake to a new life worth living. Straight into your arms, I′ll carry all my love & never let go," speaks to the frustration and disappointment that can come when our dreams don't materialize as we hoped. But the singer refuses to give up, determined to keep going until she finds fulfillment and happiness. The final lines, "Let′s fly into the sky. We need no reason why," encapsulate the idea that we should live our lives with joy and abandon, not worrying about what others think or what the future holds.
Overall, Shana's "Out" is a deeply emotional and impactful song that speaks to the power of resilience, community, and pursuing one's dreams. It's an anthem for anyone who has ever faced adversity but refused to give up.
