After "I Love Your Smile", Shanice continued to record albums, including 1999's Shanice, produced chiefly by Babyface. While she has not achieved significant commercial success with her later albums, she is acknowledged as a talented singer and many of her songs appeared on various soundtracks. She also sings backup and does studio sessions and can be heard on Toni Braxton's song "Unbreak My Heart". She can also be heard making vocal contributions to various games. She is married to actor/comedian Flex Alexander, with whom she has two children.
Not a stranger to taking long gaps between albums and singles, "Every Woman Dreams" finally emerged in June of 2005. The single is currently doing moderately well, and Shanice is now signed to IME Records (which is distributed through Universal/Motown). After several pushbacks, her fifth studio album (titled Every Woman Dreams) will be released on February 21, 2006. The video for "Every Woman Dreams" was released in December 2005 and is in current rotation on music networks like BET, MTV and Vh1.
Fall For You
Shanice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the truth is written somewhere in between
But there's always something missing in the dark
There you will find the true condition of the heart
Well I can visualize the pieces of a dream
And it's not as far away as it may seem
But if truth be told it's you that holds the key
[Chorus]
I've been in love a time or two
I've seen the world but not with you
I want to fly and spread my wings
Don't want to cry, I want to sing
I want to live and take a chance
I'm not afraid to love again
I want to fall, fall for you
And I want you to fall for me too
I've had plenty conversations my heart
'cause I want this thing to work, not fall apart
Oh, I ask my heart how can it be so sure
And it answers me because your heart
I have every expectation that it's true
'cause my heart won't lie to me, much less to you
But if truth be told it's you that holds the key
[Chorus]
To the mountain snow that melts into the stream
My heart flows like that river to the sea
To the heavens above
I pray to God our destiny is love
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Shanice's song "Fall For You" speak to the idea of taking a chance on love. The opening lines suggest that there are definitive answers to life's questions, but the truth is often found in the grey area between right and wrong. The darkness can reveal the true condition of the heart. The singer, however, has a dream and can visualize its pieces, and she believes that the person she loves holds the key to unlocking her destiny.
The chorus expands on this idea of taking a chance on love. The singer has been in love before, but not with the person she is singing to. She wants to spread her wings and live life to its fullest, without the fear and sadness that have previously accompanied her. She states that she is not afraid to love again because she wants to fall for this person, and she wants them to fall for her too.
In the final verse, the lyrics take on a more poetic tone. The singer compares her heart to a river that flows to the sea and her dream of love to a prayer to God. She believes that she and the person she loves are destined to be together.
