One of my older songs that were recorded by Cassandra back in 2001. I created a brand new backtrack for her fine vocals, changing the song from a Country Rock ballad into, what? 90's disco'ish? Never mind, call it my electronic poprock playground.
Story behind the song
I got the vocal tracks from my friend Knud Erik Jensen, who recorded some of my songs with a girl named Cassandra in 2001.
I always liked the way she sang and I have created new music for some of the tracks now. I am trying to listen to her voice and see where it takes me , more than just echoing the original chords and style.
Lyrics
How come, that it’s no longer, like the time when I was younger.
Love was such a mystery, filled with dreams and fantasy.
I used to fall, for the tough guys, but now I see right through their lies.
He may be strong and smart, I tell you - he has no heart!
He’s a Romeo, I’m no Juliet, I’m just looking for but I can’t seem to get.
Someone to rely on, someone to get by on.
He’s a Romeo, I’m no Juliet, I’m just looking for but I can’t seem to get.
A diamond in the sand, something more than just a one night stand.
How come, now that I’m am older, I feel wiser, but much colder,
No more heartaches, no more pain, it won’t be the same again.
I’ve become somebody’s wife, he just came and saved my life and
Romeo is dead, this one shares my bed.
He’s a Romeo, I’m no Juliet, I’m just looking for but I can’t seem to get.
Someone to rely on, someone to get by on.
He’s a Romeo, I’m no Juliet, I’m just looking for but I can’t seem to get.
A diamond in the sand, something more than just a one night stand.
Standing on the balcony, and always dressed in black.
She had many names, but she would never love him back.
When he tried to climb the wall, he fell and broke his heart.
He landed – in my arms, and then a whole new life would start.
He’s a Romeo, I’m no Juliet,
I’m just looking for but I can’t seem to get.
Someone to rely on, someone to get by on.
He’s a Romeo, I’m no Juliet,
I’m just looking for but I can’t seem to get.
A diamond in the sand, something more than just a one night stand.
He’s a Romeo, I’m no Juliet,
I’m just looking for but I can’t seem to get.
Someone to rely on, someone to get by on.
He’s a Romeo, I’m no Juliet,
I’m just looking for but I can’t seem to get.
A diamond in the sand, something more than just a one night stand.
A one night stand, yeah, mmmm.
