In Greek mythology, the Three Graces represent beauty, wisdom, and charm. Just like the legendary figures who inspired their name, these artists personify exhilarating talent. On their self-titled debut album, the trio explores a stunning array of musical styles and moods, singing in English, Italian, Spanish and French. Their mix of the best of pop, Broadway, and opera creates a unique listening experience that will undoubtedly win audiences' hearts. Three Graces is compromised of Sara Gettelfinger, Kelly Levesque and Joy Kabanuck.
All three artists are tremendously accomplished in the genres from which they respectively come. Joy Kabanuck starred in the lead role of Mimi in Baz Luhrmann's Broadway production of Puccini's opera La Boheme. Joy was also a Los Angeles district finalist in the highly prestigious New York Metropolitan Opera Council auditions and a finalist in the Los Angeles Artist of the Future competition. She has also sung the leading roles in Mozart's opera Cosi fan Tutte and Donizetti's Betly, as well as performing in Gounod's Faust, Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, and Verdi's La Traviata.
Kelly Levesque (pronounced Le-Vek) sang duets onstage with Andrea Bocelli during his last US tour. Other world-famous artists with whom she has performed include Josh Groban, Russell Watson, and Vittorio Grigolo. The roster of Grammy Award-winning producer/songwriters with whom she has worked includes David Foster, Diane Warren, and the Neptunes. She also sang the song "Some Hearts" on the soundtrack of the Julia Roberts/Catherine Zeta Jones film America's Sweethearts.
Sara Gettelfinger has starred on Broadway in such shows as Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Seussical the musical, The Boys from Syracuse, and NINE. Other credits include Edith ("Little Edie") Bouvier in the Playwrights Horizon world premiere of Grey Gardens as well as the first national tour of Fosse.
In the course of working together for the past two years, these talented young women have had the chance to explore avenues that might not have otherwise been part of their musical paths. "What's wonderful," Joy remarks, "is that since we've had very different experiences in life and in the music business, we've learned a ton from each other."
Their range of expertise is what makes Three Graces the compelling artists they are. As Sara notes, "The more variety you have, the more colors you have to paint with, and the more thrilling the experience is both for us and for listeners." "I like to call what we do ‘smart pop," Kelly observes. "There's something for everyone."
On their debut album, slated for release on Decca in January 2008, these talented young women have joined forces with some of the world's top music producers and songwriters. They include Walter Afanasieff (Mariah Carey, Celine Dion), Desmond Child (Bon Jovi, Ricky Martin), Guy Roche (Christina Aguilera, Michael Bolton) and Mark Portmann (Luis Miguel, Barbra Streisand).
The result is a unique mix that will leave listeners spellbound. Three Graces features a breathtaking array of inspiring words, soaring harmonies, and melodic fireworks. They include pop favorites like Phil Collins' "Against All Odds," Snow Patrol's "Run," and Heart's "These Dreams," all given the magical Three Graces touch. Showcasing another side of Three Graces' incredible talents, the group's debut also features two songs co-written by the trio, including "I Wish (All the Love in the World)" and "Don't Let Me Forget."
Pure talent, incredible emotion, and dazzling presence: Three Graces have it all.
These Dreams
Three Graces Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Save some light for me
Figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
These dreams in the mist
Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no hands
I want to see you clearly
Come closer than this
But all I remember
Are the dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
Is it cloak 'n' dagger
Could it be spring or fall
I walk without a cut
Through a stained glass wall
Weaker in my eyesight
The candle in my grip
And words that have no form
Are falling from my lips
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
There's something out there
I can't resist
I need to hide away from the pain
There's something out there
I can't resist
The sweetest song is silence
That I've ever heard
Funny how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
In a wood full of princes
Freedom is a kiss
But the prince hides his face
From dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
The song "These Dreams" by Three Graces seems to describe a dream-like state of being where the singer is searching for someone or something, but can only grasp onto fragments of memory and fleeting sensations. The song opens with the singer asking someone to "spare a little candle" and "save some light" for them as they navigate through a misty landscape. The imagery presented is both eerie and beautiful--"figures up ahead/moving in the trees" and "white skin in linen/perfume on my wrist." The singer wants to see this person or thing more clearly, but can only remember what they've experienced in their dreams.
The second verse continues with the imagery of darkness and shadows, and the singer searching for something that cannot be found. They long to see clearly and come closer to the object of their search, but can only grasp at words that have no form. The chorus then describes how these dreams continue even when the singer closes their eyes, and how they live a different life every second of the night. The dreams "sleep when it's cold outside," but when the singer is awake, they feel further away from what they seek.
The third verse seems to ask more philosophical questions about the nature of reality--is this dream-like state a cloak and dagger situation, or is it simply a part of the changing seasons? The singer walks without being harmed, but through a "stained glass wall" that distorts their perception. They struggle to articulate what they're looking for and can't resist the pull of whatever it is they seek. The song concludes with a beautiful set of metaphors about freedom being a kiss in a wood full of princes, yet the prince hides his face from the dreams that linger in the mist.

Spare a little candle
Please save some light for me
Save some light for me
Keep some hope alive for me
Figures up ahead
Shapes moving up ahead
Moving in the trees
Dancing in the trees
White skin in linen
Pale skin draped in white linen
Perfume on my wrist
Fragrance lingering on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
The full moon above me, glowing
These dreams in the mist
These dreams shrouded in mist
Darkness on the edge
Darkness looming on the horizon
Shadows where I stand
Shadows surround me where I stand
I search for the time
I long to know the time
On a watch with no hands
On a broken clock with no hands
I want to see you clearly
I wish to see you with clarity
Come closer than this
Come closer than you are now
But all I remember
But all I can recall
Are the dreams in the mist
Are the hazy dreams
These dreams go on when I close my eyes
My dreams persist when I sleep
Every second of the night I live another life
Each night, I live another life in my dreams
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
My dreams that recede when it's chilly outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
The more I am awake, the more distanced I feel
Is it cloak 'n' dagger
Is it something secretive?
Could it be spring or fall
Perhaps it is spring or fall
I walk without a cut
I walk unharmed
Through a stained glass wall
Through a colorful yet fragile barrier
Weaker in my eyesight
My vision is weaker
The candle in my grip
I hold onto the candle
And words that have no form
Words that lack shape
Are falling from my lips
Are slipping from my mouth
There's something out there
Something is out there
I can't resist
I cannot avoid it
I need to hide away from the pain
I must conceal myself to avoid the pain
The sweetest song is silence
The most beautiful sound is silence
That I've ever heard
That I've experienced
Funny how your feet
It's strange how your feet
In dreams never touch the earth
Don't touch the ground in dreams
In a wood full of princes
In a forest of royalty
Freedom is a kiss
Freedom is like a passionate kiss
But the prince hides his face
But the prince conceals his face
From dreams in the mist
From the hazy dreams
