Sherrie and Nick both agree that her music reveals a great deal about her personally, and that the range of emotions heard in the songs are very evident in the new recordings. Sherrie was encouraged to develop her songwriting, and with her new musical partner found a talent in crafting seductive lyrics deep-rooted in new fashioned love themes. The striking lyricism of Sherrie's prose together with Nick's music and production propels dance music to a new plateau. Sherrie states "I think we hit it off immediately because we were both open minded to trying different things and experiment with a blend of electronic and live instrumentation. With Sherrie's alluring vocals drawing comparisons to, among others, Eurythmics' Annie Lennox, the two had found the partnership of which they'd long dreamed.
This year is primed to introduce the extraordinary talents of Sherrie as the buzz gets louder, and the crowds get larger. Sherrie’s “Over My Head”, co-written with Bryan Adams, was featured on the top selling “Women & Song” (Volume 7) compilation (Warner Music Canada). A new era and an impressive forthcoming debut CD, “Spellbound”, will help propel Sherrie Lea to the masses. “No Ordinary Love”, the first single, has been licensed in numerous territories across the world, rising to the top ten on radio and international dj charts, while garnering an impressive one thousand spins at regional radio alone! “Spellbound”, the title track and second single is currently the #2 top added song at HOT AC radio and "buzz" track pick from Amsterdam Dance Event 2005 and promises to be another successful single for Sherrie Lea and Hi-Bias Records.

Sherrie Lea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Miscellaneous
Anyway
Empires crumble in the distance
Violet crumble [brian: it's a kind of chocolate bar] in my bowl
Conspiracy theory, timothy leary
None of this is good for my soul
Salamander extravaganza
Anyway in my own way
I don't make sense any more
It's so hard to fake
One lucky break
Cocaine and cake
Young master morris had a closet in the forest
But where were the bears when he let down his hair
Pieces of ice dragging over the windscreen
Look out wonderland we're bursting through the black screen
Anyway in my own way
I don't make sense any more
It's so hard to fake
One lucky break
Cocaine and cake
(...inaudible mutterings...)
Millions of consumers are lost in the rumours
Overhead the weather (...) along their leathers
Fighting real fires with the rabbis and the friars
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker
(...more inaudible mutterings...)
You know that all of them are users
None of them are takers
Making sunday music with their tom-toms and their shakers
Anyway in my own way
I don't make sense any more
It's so hard to fake
One lucky break
Champagne and cake
(...)
Anyway in my own way
I don't make sense any more
The lyrics of Sherrie Lea's song Anyway portray a sense of confusion and disorientation in the mind of the singer. The first few lines of the song speak of the fall of empires in the distance and a chocolate bar called Violet Crumble in the singer's bowl, followed by a reference to a conspiracy theory related to Timothy Leary. The singer questions the impact of all these distractions on their soul, as they are unable to make sense of anything anymore. They then sing of a Salamander Extravaganza and wonder if they should sing like Mario Lanza.
The song continues with references to a young master Morris who had a closet in the forest, but there were no bears when he let down his hair. The singer talks about pieces of ice scraping against a windshield and the wonderland bursting through the black screen. There are also several inaudible mutterings in the song. In the end, the lyrics touch on the confusion caused by rumors and weather, and the singer feels lost and unable to make sense of anything anymore.
Overall, the lyrics of Sherrie Lea's song Anyway convey a chaotic and perplexing state of mind, adding to the song's sense of ambiguity and abstractness.

There was a young man named Morris who had a secret closet in the forest
But where were the bears when he let down his hair
I am wondering if there were any bears around when Morris revealed his secret
Pieces of ice dragging over the windscreen
Sounds of ice scraping against a car's windshield
Look out wonderland we're bursting through the black screen
We're breaking through and heading towards an unknown future
Millions of consumers are lost in the rumours
Countless people are confused and consumed by rumors
Overhead the weather (...) along their leathers
The weather is affecting them and their belongings
Fighting real fires with the rabbis and the friars
People with different beliefs are working together to fight against a common threat
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker
People from all different professions are involved in this struggle
You know that all of them are users
Everyone involved is using each other for their own benefit
None of them are takers
Despite the rampant use, none of them are truly benefiting from the situation
Making sunday music with their tom-toms and their shakers
Despite the chaos, people are still trying to make music and celebrate life
Champagne and cake
Continuing thoughts about indulging in luxury and decadence
