any lyrics out there on this "chanel chanel"???

am hooked on it lately like a bad habit! haha! downloaded a while back (a year?) and only played it a few times. but love it now! that bridge rocks: "she was not anything that she had...loved because he would have lost...if he had...loved...and then...."

and then i have no idea what's going on. i know there's a "whoahhh noooo!" in there!

sounds very early in the RAL period...her voice was still kickin!

i LOVE this song chaaaaaaaaaaanel chanel :thumbsup:

I know how hard it is to keep promises secret
Real secrets, the hardest of all
Well, I need to go, but the free spirit has been sold
And now she's gone
As you leave the shore
Woah, remember there is always a chance
You may never return

Take your time
Push down your walls
Well, I have run from places where I could not speak
And neither could I breathe
Well, I wake up in the middle of the night now
I need to know

Lady traveler
Leave the room the way it was
Well, the scent I left...
Well, they can't stand up in the darkness
Ooh, Chanel, Chanel

She was herself, she was not his
She was not anything that she had loved
Because he would have lost if he had loved
And never yet found
What they both were, no
Such a beauty...
Woah, love can never be lost

All he knew is there was something there
Woah, as his hands leaned against her side
Ooh, that feeling from the past
Well, that is something that she understands

Oh, lady traveler
Leave the room the way it was
When they fall
And they can't stand up in the darkness

Oh, take your time
I remember a man, well, he said to me,
He said, "What do you do?"
"I sing"

Chanel Chanel is great. Wish she had recorded it. I only have one version of it, but I think it's much later than RAL, maybe 1995-2000. Just before she starts singing, she says something to "Sheryl." Sheryl Crow? Sheryl Louis?

I always thought she was saying, "the Shirelle Sisters, thank you very much."

The Shirelles - Will You Love Me Tommorrow (1960)

The Shirelles were the first major female vocal group of the rock era, defining the so-called girl group sound with their soft, sweet harmonies and yearning innocence. Their music was a blend of pop/rock and R&B -- especially doo wop and smooth uptown soul -- that appealed to listeners across the board, before Motown ever became a crossover phenomenon with white audiences. Even if the Shirelles were not technically the first of their kind, their success was unprecedented, paving the way for legions of imitators; their inviting musical blueprint had an enduring influence not just on their immediate followers, but on future generations of female pop singers, who often updated the style with a more modern sensibility. What was more, they provided some of the earliest hits for important Brill Building songwriters like Gerry Goffin & Carole King, Burt Bacharach & Hal David, and Van McCoy.
