Mr. President - Simbaleo Lyrics

Simbaleo

Bridge:
Tell me who´s in the kitchen? Who is scratching at my door?
It´s the cat in the kitchen, kittie, pretty on the floor

Ha, ha, ha, ha
I was walking thru the jungle in the summertime,
I saw a baby lying having a good time
Uh, he was alone, or was it a crime? Here it is, check my rime
Ah, then I took him home, what could I do?
He was all alone, wouldn´t you to?
So throw your hands in the air and start to party
Here it is, Simbaleo

Bridge x 1

Chorus:
Simbaleo, kittie ya yo, Simba, kittie ya yo
Simbaleo, kittie ya yo, Simba, kittie ya yo

Simbaleo

He was small but his voice was big
And when he got his food, he would be like a pig
I like to play and he likes to run, here it is, yo, have some fun
Uh, he was the cat that had all of that
He be sleeping on a day on the top of my map
So throw your hands in the air and start to party
Here it is, Simbaleo

Mr. President - Give A Little Love Lyrics

Give a little love (3x)

Give me something you can't get backWhat it is I'm needing that
My love so deep insideIt feels so good I just can't hide

To have you here I've tried
Your smiling face beside
Let's rise above
I got to give you just a little love

Bridge:
Shout it out if you feel my love
'Cause you know it comes from above
Shout it out if you feel my love
So pure like a dove

Chorus:
Gonna give a little love to my baby
Gonna give a little piece of my heart
Gonna give a little love to my baby
And I guess it will be not just a part

When you tell me that you love me
Tell me that you care
Make me feel like I got the world
In my hands

Give a little love (3x)
And maybe it's you

The world here in your hand
Your wish is my command
You know I'm here and how I care
And baby that I swear

You know I can't compare
I'll always treat you fair
Let's rise above
I got to give you just a little love

The Beach Boys - Don't Worry Baby Lyrics

Well its been building up inside of me
For oh I don't know how long
I don't know why
But I keep thinking
Something's bound to go wrong

But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
And she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright

Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby

I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
When I started to brag about my car
But I can't back down now
I pushed the other guys too far

She makes me come alive
And makes me wanna drive
When she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright

Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby

She told me "Baby, when you race today
Just take along my love with you
And if you know how much I loved you
Baby nothing could go wrong with you"

Oh what she does to me
When she makes love to me
And she says "Don't worry baby"
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright

Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby
Don't worry baby

The Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be Nice Lyrics

Wouldnt it be nice if we were older
Then we wouldnt have to wait so long
And wouldnt it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong

You know its gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together

Wouldnt it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through

Happy times together weve been spending
I wish that every kiss was neverending
Wouldnt it be nice

Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray it might come true
Baby then there wouldnt be a single thing we couldnt do
We could be married
And then wed be happy

Wouldnt it be nice

You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
But lets talk about it
Wouldnt it be nice

The Beach Boys Mini Biography

The Beach Boys are an American rock band. Formed in 1961, the group gained popularity for its close vocal harmonies and lyrics reflecting a California youth culture of cars and surfing. Brian Wilson's growing creative ambitions later transformed them into a more artistically innovative group that earned critical praise and influenced many later musicians.

The group initially comprised singer-musician-composer Brian Wilson, his brothers, Carl and Dennis, their cousin Mike Love, and friend Al Jardine. This core quintet, along with early member David Marks and later bandmate Bruce Johnston, were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 1988. The Beach Boys have often been called "America's Band", and Allmusic.com has stated that "the band's unerring ability... made them America's first, best rock band." The group has had thirty-six U.S. Top 40 hits (the most of any U.S. rock band) and fifty-six Hot 100 hits, including four number one singles. Rolling Stone magazine listed The Beach Boys as one of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. According to Billboard, in terms of singles and album sales, The Beach Boys are the No. 1 selling American band of all time.



Many changes in both musical styles and personnel have occurred during their career, notably because of Brian Wilson's mental illness and drug use (leading to his eventual withdrawal from the group) and the deaths of Dennis and Carl Wilson in 1983 and 1998, respectively. Extensive legal battles between members of the group have also played their part. After the death of Carl Wilson, founding member Al Jardine was ousted by fellow-founding member Mike Love. As of 2008, The Beach Boys continue to tour, with a lineup of Love, Johnston and a backing band of new musicians. Love retained the rights to the Beach Boys name after a legal dispute. Al Jardine and Brian Wilson also continue to tour with their own respective backing bands, as of 2008. All three groups continue to play Beach Boys hits.

Eddy Grant - Gimmie Hope Jo'anna Lyrics

Well Jo'anna she runs a country
She runs in Durban and the Transvaal
She makes a few of her people happy, oh
She don't care about the rest at all
She's got a system they call apartheid
It keeps a brother in a subjection
But maybe pressure will make Jo'anna see
How everybody could a live as one

[chorus:]
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope, Jo'anna
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
'Fore the morning come
Gimme hope, Jo'anna
Hope, Jo'anna
Hope before the morning come

I hear she make all the golden money
To buy new weapons, any shape of guns
While every mother in black Soweto fears
The killing of another son
Sneakin' across all the neighbours' borders
Now and again having little fun
She doesn't care if the fun and games she play
Is dang'rous to ev'ryone

[chorus]

She's got supporters in high up places
Who turn their heads to the city sun
Jo'anna give them the fancy money
Oh to tempt anyone who'd come
She even knows how to swing opinion
In every magazine and the journals
For every bad move that this Jo'anna makes
They got a good explanation

[chorus]

Even the preacher who works for Jesus
The Archbishop who's a peaceful man
Together say that the freedom fighters
Will overcome the very strong
I wanna know if you're blind Jo'anna
If you wanna hear the sound of drums
Can't you see that the tide is turning
Oh don't make me wait till the morning come

Eddy Grant - I Don't Wanna Dance Lyrics

I don't wanna dance
Dance with you baby no more
I'll never do something to hurt you, though
Oh but the feeling is bad
The feeling is bad

I love your personality
But I don't want our love on show
Sometimes I think it's insanity
Girl the way you go

With all of the guys on the corner
Oh baby, you're the latest trick
Oh, you seem to have their number
Look they're dancing still

I don't wanna dance
Dance with you baby no more
I'll never do something to hurt you, though
Oh but the feeling is bad
The feeling is bad

Solo

Baby now the party's over
For us, so I'll be on my way
Now that the things which moved me
Are standing still

I know it's only superstition
Baby, but I won't look back
Even though I feel your music
Baby that is that

I don't wanna dance
Dance with you baby no more
I'll never do something to hurt you, though
Oh but the feeling is bad
The feeling is bad

Don't wanna dance
Don't wanna dance
Don't wanna dance
Don't wanna dance
Don't wanna dance
Don't wanna dance
Don't wanna dance

I don't wanna dance

Eddy Grant Mini Biography

Eddy Grant (born Edmond Montague Grant, 5 March 1948 born in Plaisance, Guyana) is a British reggae musician.

When he was still a young boy, his parents emigrated to London, UK, where he settled. He lived in Kentish Town and went to school at the Acland Burghley Secondary Modern at Tufnell Park. He had his first number-one hit in 1968, when he was the lead guitarist and main songwriter of the multiracial group The Equals, with his self-penned song "Baby Come Back". The tune also later topped the UK Singles Chart again when it was covered by Pato Banton. Another Equals' hits included "Viva Bobby Joe". In 1971, Grant went home to Guyana following a collapsed lung and heart infection which put him out of action at the beginning of that year. He promptly left The Equals to pursue his solo career.

Also a shrewd businessman, in 1972 he set up the first black-owned recording studio in Europe, Coach House, and began recording his own music on his Ice Records. As a result, he is thought to be the only major recording artist who owns the rights to all his songs. In 1979, Grant scored a hit "Living on the Frontline" under a distribution deal with Columbia Records, which bought the masters to all of his recordings with the Equals and set up a record pressing plant.



Musical achievements
In 1982, his solo recording of "I Don't Wanna Dance" spent three weeks at Number One in the UK Singles Chart. He scored a Top Ten album in the same year, with Killer on the Rampage.
"Electric Avenue" was both a UK and US number 2 hit single in 1983, selling over a million copies. Plus, a later remix of the song was a UK Top Ten hit again in 2001.
In 1984, Grant had a minor hit single in the U.S. with his original song written to accompany the Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner film, Romancing the Stone. Despite being commissioned by the film's producers, all but the guitar solo would be cut from the film during its final edit.The song did not appear on its soundtrack. Grant released the song as a single with the original video that featured scenes from the film until it was re-edited without the Romancing the Stone clips.
His later single, "Gimme Hope Jo'anna", during the apartheid regime ("Joanna" stood for Johannesburg, South Africa) was a song about apartheid in that country, and was subsequently banned by it. Lyrics include:
"Well Joanna she runs a country, she runs in Durban and the Transvaal.
She makes a few of her people happy, she don't care about the rest at all.
She got a system they call apartheid, it keeps a brother in subjection.
But maybe pressure will make Joanna see, how everybody could live as one."
This song was later adapted for use on a commercial for Yop, a commercially available yoghurt-based drink, with the altered lyrics "Give me Yop (me mama?) when the morning come".
Other tracks, such as "War Party" were also political protest songs. "The only decoration is the one upon the graves". "Living on the Front Line" was another. "They got me living on top of my existence, oh appreciating my resistance".
In 2001, Eddy Grant, The Greatest Hits was released. He also appeared at that year's Party in the Park concert.
June 29 2008 Eddy Grant performed at the Glastonbury Festival.

Solid Base - Ticket To Fly Lyrics

You're my ticket to fly
You're my energy ride to the rhythm of love
You're my ticket to fly
You're my energy ride to the heaven above
You have your bottom and I have mine
We can find something together
I wanna know what you feel inside
Ho can I go on without you
It's in the rhythm you made to me
Nobody else will do. I gotta have you
I wanna hear you say
You're my ticket to fly
You're my energy ride to the rhythm of love
You're my ticket to fly
You're my energy ride to the heaven above
You're my ticket to fly
You're my energy ride to the rhythm of love
You're my ticket to fly
You're my energy ride to the heaven above
Hey girl, tell me waht's the deal
Now I know just how I feel
Now loving you is my mission
When it comes to you I can have no competition
I come correct when I say
That I always treat you in the proper way
And girl you know you all
So now I know where my heart is at
It's in the rhythm you made to me
Nobody else will do. I gotta have you
You're my ticket to fly
You're my energy ride to the rhythm of love
You're my ticket to fly
You're my energy ride to the heaven above
You're my ticket to fly
You're my energy ride to the rhythm of love
You're my ticket to fly
You're my energy ride to the heaven above
You have your secrets and I have mine
We can hide always together
I wanna know when you feel all right
How can I stay here without you
It's in the rhythm you made to me
Nobody else will do. I gotta have you
You're my ticket to fly
You're my energy ride to the rhythm of love
You're my ticket to fly
You're my energy ride to the heaven above
You're my ticket to fly
You're my energy ride to the rhythm of love

When I saw you standing there in the darkness

It was about a queen who asked the mirror

Tell me what I'm looking for

As the clock goes tic-ticky-tic-toc
Me no worry, me no worry
If it's alright me no time to hurry
Tell the queen that me is in the castle
Look into the mirror but there's no hustle
Hear me tale in a ragga man way
So listen to what me wanna' say

Solid Base Mini Biography

Solid Base was created by the producers Mattias Eliasson & Jonas Eriksson. Isabelle Heitman is the vocalist and Thomas Nordin (or Teo T) the rapper. Their name comes from a synthetizer sound. Isabelle tells how the story began "I heard there was this group called Solid Base that needed vocalists. I was working with a producer that was signed to the same record company. He just told me about the group. So I went down there to do test singing and that's how we met". Teo T adds "We had another vocalist from the beginning. She wasn't that nice though, so we had to fire her and get a new one. So we had like 25 girls there auditioning, Isabelle was the best one. When Isabelle started singing, we all got goose flesh! So here we are."

They started releasing singles in 1994 : Dance To the Beat, Together or In Your Dreams all became hits. So in 1996 they released their debut album entitled Finally which has been selling pretty good all over Europe.




Solid Base have long since secured their place on the charts in Scandinavia. The gold and platinum records (for the singles and their debut album Finally) speak for themselves in the competitive music trade. Triple gold in Norway (where they now live) and platinum in Finland made the two newcomers one of the hottest groups last summer. Now Isabelle and Teo. T. are ready to conquer the rest of the international music world.

Toy Box - The Sailor Song Lyrics

So if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together, just to sing we love you
And if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together just for you

Racing all around the seven seas
Chasing all the girls and making robberies
'Causing panic everywhere they go
Party-hardy on Titanic

Sailing, sailing, jumping off the railing
Drinking, drinking 'till the ship is sinking
Gambling, stealing, lots of sex-appealing
Come, let us sing the sailor-song

So if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together, just to sing we love you
And if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together just for you

Sailorman, you really turn me on
Now the guys are gone, come and let us get it on
Girls like me are pretty hard to find
So if you go, I'll kick your Heine

Sailing, sailing, jumping off the railing
Drinking, drinking 'till the ship is sinking
Gambling, stealing, lots of sex-appealing
Come, let us sing the sailor-song

So if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together, just to sing we love you
And if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together just for you

Now, let's fight!
Ha, that's not a knife, this is a knife!
eik!!!

Sailing, sailing, jumping off the railing
Drinking, drinking 'till the ship is sinking
Gambling, stealing, lots of sex-appealing
Come, let us sing the sailor-song

So if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together, just to sing we love you
And if we all come together, we know what to do
We all come together just for you

I'm king of the world! woohoo!
Wow, this was great!
Yeah, baby, you can sail my ship

So if we all come together, we know what to do

When you touch me, I feel funny
I feel it too, when you're touching me
Come to my tree-house, to my party
Yes, I'll go if you carry me


Tarzan is handsome, full of surprise
He's really cute, and his hair is nice
Tarzan is handsome, Tarzan is strong
So listen to the Jungle-song:


Oo-ee-oo-ee...
I am Tarzan from Jungle, you can be my friend

Go Cheetah, get banana
Hey monkey, get funky
When I am dancing, I feel funky
Why do you keep ignoring me?
Tarzan is here, come, kiss me, baby
Oochie coochie kiss me tenderly


Tarzan is handsome, Tarzan is strong
He's really cute, and his hair is long
Tarzan is handsome, Tarzan is strong
So listen to the Jungle-song:


Oo-ee-oo-ee...

(Chorus)
Come on dream on
Come on dream on
Come on dream on, boy
Your dream will come alive
Come on dream on
Come on dream on
Come on dream on, boy
Your dream will come alive

Once again a song comin' strong,
here to remind you got to dream on.
Go for what you know don't let it slide,
take a change let's ride.
To the future not to the past,
take it easy and not to fast.
Many failed in society,
to blind to see you need to be free.
Free from the strain that causes pain,
pain is the name and life is the game.
Dream on try to survive,
keep hope alive reach for the sky.
Do the best you can make a wish come true,
listen here's the clue:let it flow before it's all gone,
come on boy you got to dream on.

Bridge

Chorus

Try to relax and move to the track,
go for your goals and don't hold it back.
Strive to keep you dreams and hopes alive,
do it know and don't pass it by.
Life is to short so give me your hand,
I will lead you to another land.
D. R. O. C. K. is here with the light,
shinin' bright cause I'm right.
Close your eyes and just concentrate,
it's never to late to erase the hate.
Focus your mind when I say my rhymes,
cause I'm always on time.
Do the best you can make a wish come true,
listen here's the clue:let it flow before it's all gone,
come on boy you got to dream on

Bridge

Chorus

Dreams are the way to express yourself from the heart,
now it's time to depart.
On a journey for the mind,
peace of mind is what you will find.
Like Martin Luther King, I had a dream,that we all would sing
in peace and harmony comin' strong.
Come on boy you got to dream on.

I know a place where the sun's always shining,
with lovely flowers around everywhere.
Come take my hand , I'll show you I'll guide you.
I know this place it's deep down inside you.
I know a place where people not fighting,
with smiling faces around everywhere.
Come take my hand , I'll show you I'll guide you.
I know this place it's deep down inside you.
Come take my hand I'll lead you just follow me.
To wonderland, it's deep down inside of you.
Come take my hand I'll lead you just follow me.
Come take my hand, come take my hand.
Come take my hand I'll lead you just follow me.
To wonderland, it's deep down inside of you.
Come take my hand I'll lead you just follow me.
Come take my hand, come take my hand.
Fantasize, energize, only you can rise, rise.
If you really wanna do it, get in to it, baby move it.
Slip slide to the place, bring a happy face, bass.
Treble rebel is what I am, I boogie in the wonderland.
It's up to you to find, what you're looking for,
as I rock, rock, rock to the rhythm, I can give you more, more,
from the soul, take control, find yourself never to old.
Come, Come take my hand, and I will take you to this land.

Take a chance, to enchant, on the floor as you dance.
Come, come take my hand, travel with me to a land,
of happiness for everyone, run, run here I come.
Pick it up, pick it up, don't be late, feel the groove don't be late,
to go inside take a ride, now you now you can't deny.
What you feel is it real, let it go and you will know,
what to do it's up to you, follow me it's nothing new.
Come, come take my hand and I will take you to this land.

2 Brothers on the 4th Floor Mini Biography

The Boer brothers had already been experimenting with music in a small bedroom when they finally gained note in 1990, when their since Can't Help Myself was picked up by Dutch radio stations and became an international hit. The brothers then brought together rapper Da Smooth Baron MC and singers Peggy "The Duchess" and Gale Robinson to form their stage act. The release of their next single, Turn Da Music was somewhat less successful, but helped the band to gain name recognition.

2 Brothers on the 4th Floor made two hit singles together before separating. Martin Boer moved into a new professional studio and started making remixes under the name Dancability Productions, making remixes for artists such as Becky Bell, Twenty 4 Seven and Luv' (for their Megamix '93), while Bobby Boer designed record covers and CD inlays for other artists.



2 Brothers on the 4th Floor was revived by the Boer brothers in 1994. Bobby joined Martin in his studio and, after some time, released the single Never Alone. This single was the first to be launched with rapper D-Rock and singer Des'Ray. The song "Dreams", which the title song of the band's first album, was a song that captured the essence of Eurodance. Due to the genre's popularity when the song was released in 1994, the song became a hit both nationally and internationally. The band's renewed style and concept was accepted well by Dutch audience. Never Alone topped the charts for weeks and went gold. Dreams, the band's subsequent single, went straight to number one and remained on the charts for weeks and Let Me Be Free, its successor, remained in the top ten nationally for some time.

In 1995 and 1996, 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor further widened their success with the singles Fly (Through The Starry Night), Come Take My Hand and Fairytales. These singles topped the charts in various European countries. At the end of 1996, the band released the single There's a Key and its second album, 2. After 2, the band shifted styles and recorded the singles One Day and I'm Thinkin' of U, R&B tracks that departed from their typical Eurodance style.

n March 1998, 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor released the single Do U Know, a mid to low tempo pop track. At the beginning of the fall of 1998, the single The Sun Will Be Shining was released. It contains remixes by Mark van Dale & Enrico, Dance Therapy and the Dub Foundation. Packaged with The Sun Will Be Shining was a CD-ROM featuring the videos of "The Sun Will Be Shining" and "The Making Of".

On February 5th, 1999, the single Heaven Is Here was released. October 29th of that year saw the release of the single Living In Cyberspace. On June 16th, 2000, the single "Wonderful Feeling" was released. On June 29th, 2001, the single "Stand Up And Live" was released.

I`ve got all systems go nothing standing in my way
I should be far down the road but I`m not
Something`s holding me back like a wild boar attack
and I`ve got you by my side but you`re not
Do you remember when we thought there was no end
a shooting star around the sky
Do you remember when you were from heaven sent
how far the wind could make me fly
Angels crying, when you`re far away from me
Always trying, I will make you see
Angels crying, when you`re far away from me
No denying, we were meant to be
I tumbled from the sky where I was soaring so high
Never thought that I could fall back down to the ground
Somewhere along the ride I found
that we can`t stop the tide
it is time for me to buy another round
Do you remember when we thought there was no end
a shooting star around the sky
Do you remember when you were from heaven sent
how far the wind could make me fly
Angels crying, when you`re far away from me
Always trying, I will make you see
Angels crying, when you`re far away from me
No denying, we were meant to be

E - Type - Angels Crying Lyrics

I`ve got all systems go nothing standing in my way
I should be far down the road but I`m not
Something`s holding me back like a wild boar attack
and I`ve got you by my side but you`re not
Do you remember when we thought there was no end
a shooting star around the sky
Do you remember when you were from heaven sent
how far the wind could make me fly
Angels crying, when you`re far away from me
Always trying, I will make you see
Angels crying, when you`re far away from me
No denying, we were meant to be
I tumbled from the sky where I was soaring so high
Never thought that I could fall back down to the ground
Somewhere along the ride I found
that we can`t stop the tide
it is time for me to buy another round
Do you remember when we thought there was no end
a shooting star around the sky
Do you remember when you were from heaven sent
how far the wind could make me fly
Angels crying, when you`re far away from me
Always trying, I will make you see

E - Type - Princess of Egypt Lyrics

I'm coming home
and I don't want to hear another word about this
It's hard to fight well
and come alone back from the abyss
No more of them lunatic thoughts time's up
for the Don Quixot
All I ever wanted was to give this my best shot

The sad part is that you come
from a different kind of life
I'm up and leaving now I'm living by the knife
I've lost my faith in human kind and it's time for a rest
Even though I did my best I didn't pass your test

You are the princess of Egypt and I'm just a man
I want to be with you, I feel astray
I need a miracle how to make you understand
I'd make you happy but you're far away

You don't know what you're missing
What it is you leave behind
My good intentions for you makes me one of a kind
You'll get by in your fortress
you will hide behind that wall
But one day you will find out you almost had it all

The sad part is that you come
from a different kind of life
I'm up and leaving now I'm living by the knife
I've lost my faith in human kind and it's time for a rest
Even though I did my best I didn't pass your test

You are the princess of Egypt and I'm just a man
I want to be with you, I feel astray (I wanna be with you)
I need a miracle how to make you understand
I'd make you happy but you're far away (Far away)

you are the princess and I'm just a man
now I need a miracle to make you understand,
the princess of egypt and I'm just a man
will I ever make a princess to be my ding-a-ding, come!

You are the princess of Egypt and I'm just a man
I want to be with you, I feel astray (I wanna be with you)
I need a miracle how to make you understand
I'd make you happy but you're far away (Far away)

You are the princess of Egypt and I'm just a man
I want to be with you, I feel astray (I wanna be with you)
I need a miracle how to make you understand
I'd make you happy but you're far away (Far away)

You are the princess of Egypt

E - Type Mini Biography

Bo Martin Erik "E-Type" Eriksson is a musician who was born in Uppsala, Sweden in 1965. E-Type's breakthrough came in 1994 with the collaboration with the producers from Cheiron (Denniz PoP, Max Martin, and Amadin) on his debut album Made In Sweden. A single from this album, Set The World On Fire reached gold status in Sweden, #1 on the Swedish dance chart, #2 on the Swedish sale chart, and #4 in Israel. Eventually four other singles were released from the album: the ballad Do You Always (Have To Be Alone) and Russian Lullaby (co-written by Jonas Berggren from Ace of Base). The album itself was released in November 1994 and made it up to #2 on the album-chart. Over 100,000 copies were sold in Sweden and the album was listed for 26 weeks.

During 1996, E-Type and the producer-team spent their time working on a second album The Explorer, which was released in Sweden on the 23rd of October. The album sold more than 20,000 copies. He recorded the official song, Campione 2000 for Euro 2000.


In 2001, E-Type released his new single Life in November 12. The forthcoming album release, entitled Euro IV Ever, was postponed until the end of 2001. Finally released in November, most of the tracks feature the voice of Na Na as female vocalist. An album release party was held on the 25th of November.

Max Martin, Rami and E-type produced the album Loud Pipes Save Lives in 2004, and released it on the 24th of March. At the beginning of April, Paradise reached #11 in Finland and entered the Finnish Dance chart at position #28.

On May 14, 2007, he released a new single called True Believer. There was also a new album in 2007, Eurotopia.

In the spring of 2008, he appeared in Melodifestivalen 2008 and performed the song Line of Fire together with the rock band The Poodles. They advanced to a second chance heat, which was held in Kiruna on March 8 where they lost to Sibel.

The music of E-type followed the typical eurodance formula of synthesizer music built up to a dance floor crescendo, accompanied by his own voice, and a chorus sung by a Nana Hedin. Nana provided vocals for more than half of all E-type songs. Much of E-type's success in the 1990s was built on Hedin's on-stage stand-in, dancer Dilnarin "Dee" Demirbag. Dee mimed to Nana Hedin's voice.

Dee left the band in 2001 to pursue a solo career. However, Dee got back together with E-type in December 2006 for a concert in Russia. She is still touring with the band occasionally.Nana Hedin's voice was last heard with E-type in the song Paradise in 2004.

Sonic Dream Collective - Don't Go Breaking My Heart Lyrics

Teardrops falling down
Falling down because of you and I
Everything has changed
Since the first time you looked in my eyes

It just isn't the same
But who am I to blame
I see you walk away
Oh hear me when I say

[chorus]
Don't go breaking my heart
Don't tear us apart
I need you so
Don't go breaking my heart
Don't tear us apart
Oh please don't go

You used to say
That you'd always love and cherish me
I was yours to keep
But something happened can't you see

Love turns into sand
Slipping through my hands
The wind takes it away
Oh hear me as I say

[chorus]

[toast]
Well it's my mind on my lover
And my lover on my mind
What a lovin´ combination
My lover on my mind
And my mind on my lover
Oh what a good good combination

Me thinking about she, she thinking about me
Oh man what a loving combination
She thinking about me, me thinking about she
Oh man, what a good good combination

Lonely, feeling lonely feeling blue
And though you're near me
I'm longing so for you
Trying, trying hard to see the sun
But worse than lonesome
Is lonesome when you're two

I can see your pain and sorrow
Please have faith in our tomorrow

[chorus]
All that I want is for you to hold me
Kiss me and tell me that you'll stay the night
Oh, baby all that I want is that when you've told me
Kiss me again and I'll be alright

Darkness, it's so dark around us now
Hanging on to a promise
And a vow
Waiting, I don't mind waiting for a while
If you'll just hold me
And tell me when and how

Please be strong I know it hurts you
Love you so I won't desert you
