lyrics

Love’s Lost in Translation (Chieli Minucci/Philip Hamilton) Every time we try to say goodbye I wonder why (but I know) I can see it anytime you smile There’s a place for me clear across the sea, Those recent memories Can we keep them alive? It’s the kind of love we made Some call me crazy But all I want, is to play with you, lay with you, to say to you, what’s on my mind Even though we know it’s time to go, there’s a ray of hope (and you know) How I always want to stay a while, I can see in your smile, it’s the same, when you whisper my name It’s a symphony, you sing to me, (only me) In the heat of the night You call me crazy How I love to live a life that’s full of promises and dreams of love far away A solitaire that’s hard to bear all alone Where lovers speak a language all their own all their own It’s no fantasy This is real to me All my own Want you, miss you, need you, want you Need you, want to hold you, miss you, need you To lay with you, say to you what’s on my mind what’s on my mind Everywhere I look , every place I go When I’m by myself I can see your face When I lay in bed the nights so lonely without your love When I close my eyes, when I dream of you when you fall asleep, when I kiss your face at night Everyone I see reminds me of you, and what you’ve done to me This lonely heart will find a way to love (Love will find a way) Don’t ever say you’ll go away I want you to stay I’ve gone away, but never away from you Don’t you ever doubt it Don’t ever say you’ll go away I want you to stay Another way to spend the whole day, with you singing all about it

Hushabye (Will Brock, Chieli Minucci) Verse 1 Quiet ain't easy. We think what matters is the stuff that we say Baby believe me. That useless chatter simply gets in the way Chorus Ah Hushabye, Don't say a word look in my eyes Ah Hushabye, Verse 2. Quietly feed me. We'll take what's left and mix to dress the garden to be Silently seed we, weed out the words of wasting so we can be free Chorus Ah Hushabye, Don't say a word look in my eyes Ah Hushabye Bridge, Ya know the words they come easy It's not a thing to believe in Give it up and let them feelings flow in and I know Take your time find the answer; your little heart is a dancer Show up and let your heart be known Ain't no rhyme in the reason, not a word in the season Not a word and it's so clear, Not a sound and we still hear What it means to have no fear Verse 3 Quietly lead me, I'll close my eyes and know you'll keep me from drifting away Silently need me, now take my hand I'll show you with just one word to say Chorus out. Ah Hushabye, Don't make a sound it's your surprise Ah Hushabye Ah Hushabye, Just take a sip and close your eyes

WITHOUT YOU *double CD
Chieli Minucci and Special EFX

Produced by Chieli Minucci
7/2009 – 1/2010

I’m proud to announce the release of the new Chieli Minucci & Special EFX CD, “Without You”. This comes at a very significant time in our long concert career, our 25th anniversary! Containing 22 brand new tracks, including new arrangements of familiar Special EFX favorites, the featured vocal work of longtime bandmember Philip Hamilton, as well as guest vocalist Will Brock, plus a tribute to my late, great partner, percussionist George Jinda, this new release finds our famously eclectic music evolving towards fresh, contemporary world jazz-fusion sounds. Rounding out the regular EFX lineup are guest musicians, keyboardist Jeff Lorber, violinist Karen Briggs (ex-Yanni group member), as well as NYC stringman Alan Grubner. West-coast pianist Lao Tizer makes a special appearance as well.

Over the last few years our compositional approach has steadily shifted towards a global, high energy fusion experience, sometimes even mixing in cinematic ‘sound-design’ textures. Not one to be shy of variety, I've packed this release with all kinds of music - jazz fusion, world-beat, world-pop vocals, contemporary melodies, rock-tinged versions of EFX classics, and even our first ‘straight-ahead jazz’ piece. I'm sure new listeners, as well as our longtime fans will feel exhilaration as they listen to this unusual mix of new music!
