    Lyrics
    This may come, this may come as some surprise
    But I miss you
    I could see through all of your lies
    But still I miss you
    He takes her love, but it doesn't feel like mine
    He tastes her kiss, her kisses are not mine, they're not mine
    He takes, but surely she can't give what I'm feeling now
    She takes, but surely she doesn't know how
    Is it a crime?
    Is it a crime?
    That I still want you
    And I want you to want me too
    My love is wider, wider than Victoria Lake
    My love is taller, taller than the Empire State
    It dives, it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean
    I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back
    Is it a crime?
    Is it a crime?
    I still want you
    And I want you to want me too
    My love is wider than Victoria Lake
    Taller than the Empire State
    It dives, it jumps
    I can't give you more than that, surely you want me back
    Is it a crime?
    Is it a crime?
    That I still want you
    And I want you to want me too
    It dives, it jumps and it ripples like the deepest ocean
    I can't give you more than that; surely you want it back
    Tell me, is it a crime?

    • @M.S-Music
      @M.S-Music 2 года назад +14

      The personality in her vocals comes mainly from two things, she does not sing constantly, she has a whisper thing going on and the other really noticeable thing in her singing is that she sings in a higher pitch than the band (basically being off pitch often and she does not correct it like many do with vibrato ). That´s the secret that makes her voice and singing so special. She said it her self: "i have no musical training". Special and very interesting personality.

    I feel very lucky to be 50 years old. Starting in high school, Sade has been the soundtrack of my life. For a white guy from Kentucky she was an unbelievable beauty. I later moved to Florida and married a beautiful young lady of African decent from Montreal. We are still married all these years later. The thought would never have crossed my mind before I saw and heard Sade. There is nothing better than listening to Sade with the wife who is speaking French in her own contra-alto voice. Discussing nothing but the days events. For over 20 years I have been the luckiest person I know. I wish everyone could find such joy in life.

    let me tell you something! I am 42 years and decided to play Sade classic songs at the start of the summer cause I was feeling nostalgia. :-) and listen hear, I didnt know my my 7 year old and 5 old daughters where listening to me listen to this music after a week of playing songs every morning before work. When I tell you I was shocked to hear them singing along by the end of the week!! They kept saying momma play that lady's song again. Her voice is so pretty! Then I showed them the vintage videos of the songs and they have fallen in love with SADE! Ordinary Love is their favorite! The belt out that song like they wrote it and love her being a mermaid in the video! Is it a crime and smooth operator the love too. The surely get a kick out of watching Sade's video and live performance for hours with me. When I tell you Saturday and Sunday Mornings are the best binge times I spend with my girls! Sade's music is magical!

      She is one of the most recursive artists I've ever encounter in my whole life. To see a picture of her is hard because she's uber private and doesn't care about fame. One of the many artist that doesn't care of FAME. She always says in interview she always wanted the music to be loved, but she wanted no parts of the fame and recognition.

    When I was stationed in Germany, the soldiers and the civilians were nuts about Sade in 1984-86. Her band was really tight. The band always sounded like the studio recordings whenever they performed in concert. Her voice is so smooth and mellow. Brings back great times that I don't see existing anymore. It's too bad that many of our children can't share the joy that we had in the 80s and 70s.

    Sade music is only for the classy and sophisticated. light a cigarette, pour a glass of wine, loosen your tie and just sit staring at the manhattan skyline.
