What makes Sonique so unique as a DJ is that she has blended her excellent powerful and emotive singing abilities with a natural mixing talent to create a unique club atmosphere. As soon as she steps up to the decks she picks up the mic and introduces herself, instantly connecting with the crowd and setting up the atmosphere for an unforgettable night. Right at the peak of the best tunes comes the perfect crescendo of smooth vocals just made up on the spot yet somehow sounding like they are meant to be there. This talent never before seen in clubland is unique to Sonique.
The other leg of her career is to write, record and remix songs, mainly dance-orientated and soulfoul with a high potential to go on top of the club charts as well as the pop charts. Sonique's greatest hit so far is the song «It feels so good», being re-released in 2000 and becoming a chart-topper in many countries that year. Up to now she has recorded three solo albums, has released more than 10 singles and can point to a long list of collaborations with other artists' projects from William Orbit to Josh Wink. Several record labels have released also some albums with live mixes of Sonique's DJ sets.
Learn To Forget
Sonique Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The selfish way I've learnt to live
With it all take and none left to give
It's strange the change we're left to face
When love's gone I find myself back at square one
[chorus]
I gotta learn to forget
Only memories that fad
Speak with my heart not my head
Cause some things are better left unsaid
Guess you and I were never meant to be
Seems the more I look, the less that I see
Wasting time when I'm trying to find
The thing that we lost for far too long
And now it's back to square one
[repeat chorus]
Wish that I could change the things I said about you
Wish that I could change the way that you feel
And God knows I'd die to be in your arms again
Chase away the hurt, kiss away the pain
[repeat chorus]
Learn to to forgive and forget
Love's empty words and regrets
Cause some things are better left unsaid
Sonique's song "Learn to Forget" is a melancholy reflection on the heartbreaking process of moving on from a failed relationship. The singer bemoans the selfishness that led to the end of the relationship and recognizes that there is no future in dwelling on the past. She urges herself to speak with her heart, not her head, and to let go of the memories that are only holding her back. The chorus underscores this sentiment, emphasizing that some things are better left unsaid and that the key to moving forward is to learn to forget.
The second verse emphasizes the futility of holding onto what is lost, acknowledging that the more the singer looks, the less she sees. She recognizes that this search for something that is gone is a waste of time, and simply leads her back to where she started, at square one. The final verse is a plea for forgiveness, a desperate wish to undo the hurtful things that were said and to regain the love that was lost. However, even the prospect of being back in the arms of her former lover is not enough to justify holding onto the past. Ultimately, the key to healing is to learn to forgive and forget.
