Although the project released four singles in the mid '90s, with initial singers Kimberley Kearney and Dacia Bridges, worldwide success came with third vocalist, Tina Harris. Everything's Gonna Be Alright was released in 1997, which topped charts around the world and started a musical theme, sampling classical music, which the project would later become known for.
Tina Harris left after two years, with Jade Villalon replacing her as the fourth vocalist with five original albums, all reaching Gold or Platinum in Korea. Villalon, along with "Geo" left the project after seven years to go on and do other projects.
Vocalist Jamie Pineda took the role as new vocalist shortly after in late 2007 and then releasing her first studio album The Next Generation in 2009, which was produced by Derek Bramble. Pineda released one more album, Diamond Veil in 2011 and it was released in Japan and Korea, as the 8th studio album from Sweetbox.
In 2013, famed Japanese singer Miho Fukuhara became the new frontwoman and for the first time in the projects history, male vocalist/rapper LogiQ Pryce would co-front the project with her. The studio album, titled #Zeitgeist21 is due for release in July 2013.
Liberty
Sweetbox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gravity...
Eternity...
Memories...
Freedom...Free
One life wasted
No one can replace it,
But the world's
Still turning.
Did you want this?
Did you think it over?
Your mother sits there crying
What do I say to her
(chorus)
Is there liberty?
Gravity?
Do memories remain?
Did you find freedom
Or did you break free?
Liberty?
Gravity?
Do memories remain?
Did you find freedom?
Or did you break free?
(rap verse)
I never knew why you gave up early
I think of the times you were depressed and if didn't concern me
Days we had good and the bad
But all that's gone now
And who wouldn't be sad?
Who could have saved you from cutting your life short
The answer is priceless
But definitely something to fight for
Holing on to our memory the tears unfurl
To the world you were someone
And to someone the world
(repeat chorus)
(second rap verse)
Is there anger, is there pain, and do the faces stay the same?
Is there justice, is there blame, or do we all just end in vain?
Tell meâ?¦ tell me
Is there mercy, is there fame, did you find a better way?
Do you feel us, do you see us, do you hear us when we pray?
Tell meâ?¦ tell me
(repeat chorus)
Liberty?
Gravity?
Do memories remain?
Did you find freedom
Or did you break free?
The song "Liberty" by Sweetbox explores themes related to suicide, freedom, and memory. The opening lines of the song "Liberty... Gravity... Eternity... Memories... Freedom... Free" can be interpreted as the different states of being that we experience in life, including the freedom we have to make choices and the memories that we create. However, the subsequent lyrics suggest that some people feel trapped and are unable to find a way out of their pain, ultimately leading them to take their own life. The lyrics "One life wasted, No one can replace it" speak to the tragedy and finality of suicide.
The chorus of the song poses several questions about the aftermath of suicide: "Is there liberty? Gravity? Do memories remain? Did you find freedom or did you break free?" These lines suggest that suicide might be perceived as a way to find freedom from pain, but at the same time, it robs us of the opportunity to create new memories and experience the fullness of life. The rap verses add more personal and emotional depth to the song, as the singer reflects on the loss of their loved one and wrestles with questions of blame and justice.
Overall, "Liberty" is a poignant song that highlights the complex emotions and experiences related to suicide. The lyrics encourage us to think critically about the possible reasons behind someone's decision to end their life and the impact it has on those left behind.
