She now resides in Monaco and has recently sold her London apartment. Many of its furnishings were auctioned for charity. Two very popular 'Audiences With Shirley Bassey' have aired on British TV, the most recent being in March 2006.
In 2006, UK retailer Marks and Spencer hired Bassey for their Christmas advertising campaign, with Dame Shirley singing a cover of P!nk's 'Get the Party Started'.
In late 2009 Bassey released 'The Performance' her first studio album for two decades, which was released in a maelstrom of anticipation. Still popular well into one of the longest and most illustrious musical careers in British and indeed international history, Bassey is considered by Brits to be a national treasure.
Call Me
Shirley Bassey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a service I can render
Tell the one who loves you only
I can be so warm and tender
Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
When it seems your friends desert you
There's somebody thinking of you
I'm the one who'll never hurt you
Maybe that's because I love you
Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me, and I'll be around
Now don't forget me
'Cause if you let me
I will always stay by you
You've got to trust me
That's how it must be
There's so much that I can do
If you call I'll be right with you
You and I should be together
Take this love I long to give you
I'll be at your side forever
Call me
Don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Shirley Bassey's song "Call Me" is an emotional ballad that speaks to the idea of being away from someone you love and offering your faithful support. The lyrics suggest that the singer of the song is ready to step in and "serve" the person they love, offering them warmth, tenderness, and emotional support when they need it the most. They call on this person to reach out to them whenever they feel sad or lonely, assuring them that they will always be there for them.
The chorus of the song is a powerful call to action, urging the individual to put their trust in the singer and to call on them whenever they need assistance. The song suggests that this trust is an essential component of a healthy relationship, and even though the person may feel abandoned at certain times, there is always someone thinking of them.
The song ends with the singer assuring the person they love that they will always be there for them, promising to remain by their side forever. It is a message of support, comfort, and unwavering love, which the singer hopes will give the person they love the strength they need to persevere through difficult times.
