Her smash hit "Heard It All Before" was made into some house remixes by Ben Watt (one half of the DJ/producer set "Lazy Dog" and the DJ of "Everything But The Girl) and E-Smoove (Eric Miller, a Chicago DJ, partially responsible for the growth of house music). These remixes are extremely hard to find, but if you do, be prepared to pay a pretty penny to get your hands on them.
Sunshine Anderson is back in the studio working on her sophomore album, Sunshine at Midnight, due for release in January 2007. The first single, "Something I Wanna Give You", started to receive airplay as early as June, 2006 in some places and officially impacted radio in the second week of August. A video directed by Gil Green was shot in the same week.
Sunshine also did a vocal track for Groove Armada, for their Lovebox album, titled Easy.
Where Have You Been
Sunshine Anderson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Making me wait so very long for you
'Cause out of nowhere you just appeared before my eyes
Letting me know that there'd be no more lonely nights
Where have you been all of my life?
What took me so long to get it right?
Where have you been all of my life?
How did you know when it was time to make your move
And how did you know this heart of mine was this needing?
Being with you helps me realize that dreams come true
Next time don't take your sweet old time
To bring your love to me, oh yeah
Where have you been all of my life?
What took me so long to get it right?
Where have you been all of my life?
To be honest, it's not fair
That so much time went by
Before we had a chance to share
Our love, we should've been together
But it's better late than never
Where have you been all of my life, baby?
Where have you been all of my life? Tell me
Where have you been all of my life?
What took me so long to get it right?
Where have you been all of my life?
In Sunshine Anderson's song "Where Have You Been," the singer expresses her elation over finally finding love after waiting for so long. She wonders why it took her so much time to find the person who was meant to be with her all along. The lyrics suggest that the person she has been waiting for, who has finally arrived, must have been hiding from her.
The chorus of the song is an expression of the singer's surprise and joy at finally having found her true love. She asks, "Where have you been all of my life? What took me so long to get it right?" The persona is happy that the waiting is finally over, and that loneliness is no longer going to be a part of her life.
Verse two of the song sees Sunshine asking how he was able to discern the perfect time to make his move, and how he knew that she needed him as much as she did. Being with him has made her understand that dreams come to fruition, and she implores him to not keep her waiting in the future.
The lyrics don't explicitly say how the couple met, but the emphasis is on the fact that they have finally found each other after a long period of waiting. The song promotes the idea that love is worth waiting for, even if it takes longer than expected.
