Which Song is it this week?
This week the song is........ Breathe Easy by BLUE. Cruel to the eye
I see the way he makes you smile
Cruel to the eye
Watching him hold what used to be mine
Why did I lie
what did i walk away to find
Ooh why
Ooh why
And I.........can't breathe easy
I cant sleep at night
Until your by my side
No I........can't breathe easy
I cant dream yet another dream without you lying next to me
There's no way
Curse me inside
For every word that caused you to cry
Curse me inside
I wont forget, no I wont baby I
Don't know why
(Don't know why)
I left the one I was looking to find
Ooh why
Ooh why
WHY
I.........can't breathe easy
I cant sleep at night
Until your by my side
No I........can't breathe easy
(Breathe easy)
I cant dream yet another dream without you lying next to me, there's no way
No I.........can't breathe easy
I cant dream yet another dream without you lying next to me, there's no way
Out of my mind
Nothing makes sense anymore
I want you back in my life
That's all I'm breathing for
Ooh I......................
Tell me why................
Ooh Tell me why
I cant dream yet another dream without you lying next to me, there's no way
no no no no no I................can't breathe easy
I cant sleep at night
Until your...by my side
Yeah
I...................Can't breathe easy
No I...
I can't dream yet another dream without you lying next to me, there's no way
There's no way

Blue (lookin fly)
In May 2001, a new band named Blue released their debut single.
Two No.1 albums, three No.1 singles, two BRIT Awards, 5 million albums and 2.9 million singles later, Blue are now officially one of the biggest pop acts not only in the UK, but across the world.
Comprising of London based lads Duncan James (25), Anthony Costa (21), Lee Ryan (20) and Simon Webbe (25), Blue released their first single in May 2001, the anthemic All Rise, which entered the UK chart at No. 4 and stayed in the Top 10 for five weeks. The next two singles Too Close, and If You Come Back went on to be even bigger hits, both crashing into the chart at No.1 and selling in excess of 200,000 copies each.
The boys followed this massive success with their eagerly anticipated debut album All Rise, which has now sold over 1.5 million copies in the UK alone, reaching No.1 in the album charts after a phenomenal 23 weeks. Numerous awards followed including Best Newcomer at the BRIT Awards 2002, Best Newcomer at the Smash Hits Awards, and Best Single, Best Newcomer and Best Pop Act at the Capital FM Awards.

In March 2002 the boys hit the Top 10 with the fourth single from the All Rise album, Fly By II. Reworked and remixed, the track proved to be a massive airplay hit, reaching No.1 in the official airplay chart, and is today still a firm favourite with radio programmers across the country.
After spending the summer touring the globe, November 2002 saw Blue unleash their second album One Love, a confident collection of classic r'n'b/pop tracks featuring some of the best songwriters and producers around. The album entered the UK album charts at No.1, and has to date sold more than 1.3million copies in the UK, and an amazing 2.7million copies worldwide.
The lead single from the album, title track One Love, shot straight into the UK Top 3 and provided Blue with their second consecutive No.1 airplay hit. This was quickly followed by another single, a duet with international superstar Elton John on a poignant cover of his 1976 hit Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Wordâ„¢. Released in December 2002 the track entered the chart at No.1, providing Blue with their third UK chart topper.
Following the One Love album release Simon, Antony, Lee and Duncan embarked on their first ever tour - a mammoth Arena tour of the UK and Ireland, taking in Sheffield, Cardiff, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester and Londonâ„¢s Wembley Arena. The spectacular tour was a sell-out success, with the guys earning rave reviews wherever they played across the country.

Blue
After a summer spent recording, touring Europe and the Far East and appearing at festivals up and down the UK, the boys from Blue will return this October with a brand new single Guilty. The track, an emotive and heartfelt ballad written by Duncan with production team, True North, beautifully showcases the smooth vocal talents of the band. With lush strings, soaring harmonies and an indelible melody, Guilty creates a pop sound that is both soft and mellow, yet still unmistakably Blue.
With their highly anticipated third album following the singles release this November and another massive UK Arena tour already sold out for November and December, the Blue story looks set to continue long into 2004 and beyond.
This is one rollercoaster ride of success that wont be stopping for some time yet. |
