Nach ihrer mit Erfolg überstandenen Erkrankung meldet sich Anastacia auf ihrem gleichnamigen neuen Album vitaler und vielseitiger den je zurück. Die Sängerin und Songwriterin spielte mit Unterstützung von Glen Ballard (Alanis Morrissette), Dallas Austin (Pink, Madonna, TLC) und Dave Stewart das abwechslungsreichste Album ihrer Karriere ein.

Die Mixtur aus Rock-, Pop- und Soul-Elementen hat sie beibehalten, doch die zwölf Tracks klingen so energetisch und lebendig wie nie zuvor. Vergleicht man Anastacia mit dem Vorgängeralbum Freak Of Nature, dann fällt auf, welche eindrucksvollen Fortschritte die Künstlerin gemacht hat. Songs wie der kräftig rockende Opener "Seasons Change" oder das nicht weniger zielstrebig voranschreitende "Left Outside Alone" überzeugen neben eingängigen Melodien vor allem durch die exzellente Gesangsperformance von Anastacia. Doch auch die Liebhaber von geschmackvoll inszenierten Balladen kommen bei Stücken wie dem mit opulentem Streichersound veredelten "Heavy On My Heart" voll auf ihre Kosten.

Anastacia erweist sich, egal ob bei rockigen Hymnen oder eleganten Midtempo-Nummern, als wahre Meisterin der Emotionen. Mit ihrer Stimme ist sie mühelos in der Lage auf überzeugende Weise jeden Gemütszustand passend zu illustrieren. Dass sie sich in der zurückliegenden Zeit viele Gedanken über sich und die Welt gemacht hat, wird bei Songs wie "Where Do I Belong" und "Welcome To My Truth" deutlich, die noch einmal eindringliche den Reifeprozess der Künstlerin aufzeigen, der auch mit Anastacia noch nicht abgeschlossen ist.

Norbert Schieglá, Amazon.de



Anastacia, the self-titled third album from the former wedding singer picks up where Freak of Nature left off, completing her transformation from disco-pop diva to full-on rock goddess. "Seasons Change" opens the album with a nu-metal guitar riff and pretty much sets the tone for the other 11 songs. Lead single "Left Outside Alone" demonstrates the diversity of Anastacia's voice: she starts off very pronounced in an Evanessence style before going back to her old self. Sadly, the vocals are more restrained than usual, with only a few songs showing off her range. The ballad "Heavy on my Heart" builds to some dynamic choruses, reminiscent of Joe Cocker's screaming rendition of "With a Little Help from My Friends" but the only time Anastacia really lets loose is on "Sexy Single", where her distinctive nasal vibrato loosens up and puts a real feel into the music. It's a shame there are none of the funk or disco numbers that made her debut so explosive but with such a unique voice, Anastacia could sing anything and it would sound great.

Seasons Change

Cradle the weight of your life
You can survive
What lies before you
It's only a matter of time
Before the night
Turns into day
Oh, it should feel incredible, whoa..
To know you're not alone, uh
Just look in my eyes (just look in my eyes)
Whoa.. just look in my eyes

Chorus:
I said now...
Happy turns to sad
Sometimes life gets bad
Things get rearranged
Nothing stays the same
It just never ends
And here we go again
One thing
Still remains, uh
Seasons seasons change

C'mon yeah seasons change
C'mon yeah seasons change
C'mon yeah seasons change

Are you scared of today?
Running away
I can see through you
Whoaoah..
It feels like an eternal haze
But it's only a faze
It's all in your mind
Oh, when you feel invisible, uh
Just know you're not alone
(c'mon, c'mon)
Just look in my eyes
(look in my eyes, huh, look in my eyes)
Just look in my eyes

Chorus:
Happy turns to sad
And sometimes life gets bad
Things get rearranged
I said...
Nothing stays the same
It just never ends
And here we go again
One thing
Still remains, uh
But the seasons seasons change

You can feel the air start to change
When you're walkin' out in the rain
And the colors inside your brain start fading
Til the winter is washed away
And nothing really feels the same
When sunlight's in your eyes
You feel alive

What I really want..
What I really want..
What I really want..
What I really want..
I said, yeah, yeah!
Yeah!

Chorus:
Happy turns to sad
Sometimes life gets bad
Things get rearranged
And nothing stays the same
It just never ends
And here we go again
One thing
Still remains
The seasons seasons change

Chorus:
Happy turns to sad
Sometimes life gets bad
Things get rearranged
Nothing stays the same
It just never ends
And here we go again
One thing
Still remains
The seasons seasons change

c'mon, c'mon yeah seasons change
c'mon yeah seasons change
c'mon yeah seasons change
The seasons seasons change
Huh seasons change
Yeah seasons change
Whoahhh

Chorus:
Happy turns to sad
Sometimes life gets bad
Things get rearranged
Nothing stays the same
I said seasons seasons change
It just never ends
here we go again
One thing
Still remains
Seasons seasons change

(yeah, c'mon)
Woo!



Left Outside Alone

All my life i've been waiting
for you to bring a fairytale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not ok, i dont feel safe

I dont feel safe (oooh)

Left Broken, empty and in despair
Wanna breathe, can't find air
Thought you were sent from up above
But you and me never had love
so much more i have to say
help me find a way

And i wonder if you know
how it really feels,
to be left outside alone
when it's cold out here
Well maybe you should know
just how it feels
to be left outside alone
to be left outside alone

I tell you,

All my life i've been waiting
for you to bring a fairytale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not ok, i dont feel safe

I need to pray..

Why do you play me like a game?
Always someone else to blame
careless, helpless little man
someday i might understand
Theres not much more to say
but i hope you find a way

Still i wonder if you know, how it really feels
to be left outside alone, when its cold out here
well maybe you should know, just how it feels,
to be left outside alone
to be left outside alone

I tell you,

All my life i've been waiting
for you to bring a fairytale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not ok, i dont feel safe

I need to pray..
Ooh Pray
Heavenly father (oooh)
(Please)Heavenly father (Save me) Oh save me
Oooooh..

And I Wonder If you know
How it really feels
To be left outside alone
when its cold out here
Well maybe you should know
just how it feels
to be left outside alone
to be left outside alone

All my life i've been waiting
for you to bring a fairytale my way
Been living in a fantasy without meaning
It's not ok, i dont feel safe

I Need to Pray....



Time

Time keeps runnin' away
No matter what's left behind
It keeps on movin'

Ohh.. Time...
Time..

They say timing... is everything
But nothing you control
'Cause there's always tomorrow
But tomorrow never knows
it's one day at a

Chorus:
Time keeps running away
No matter what's left behind
It keeps on moving
Tomorrow is not in today
And all of your yesterdays
Are only a matter of
time.. time..

And the journey of a lifetime
Will begin with one step
When you're climbing up that mountain
It's so easy to forget
it's one step at a

Chorus:
Time keeps running away
No matter what's left behind
It keeps on moving
Tomorrow is not in today
And all of your yesterdays
Are only a matter of
time

Keeps running away
No matter what's left behind
It keeps on moving
Tomorrow is not in today
And all of your yesterdays
Are only a matter of
time

Oh time oh...
Whoa.. Oh... Whoa.. Ohh.. Whoa...!
Hah! Ooooh.. I said now...

Chorus til end:
Time keeps running away
No matter what's left behind
It keeps on moving
Tomorrow is not in today
And all of your yesterdays
Are only a matter of
Time



Sick And Tired

My Love is on the line, my love is on the line
My Love is on the line, my love is on the line
2x[Dil La Liya Be-parvah dey naal]
My Love is on the line, my love is on the line

A little late for all the things you didn't say
I'm not sad for you
But I'm sad for all the time I had to waste
'Cause I learned the truth
Your heart is in a place I no longer want to be
I knew there'd come a day I'd set you free 'cause
I'm sick and tired of always being sick and tired

2x[Dil La Liya Be-parvah dey naal]

Your love is unfair
You live in a world where you didn't listen
And you didn't care
So I'm floating, I'm floating on air
4x[Dil La Liya Be-parvah dey naal]
(I am on air)

No warning of such a sad song
Of broken hearts
My dreams of fairy tales and fantasies
were torn apart ohhh
I lost my peace of mind somewhere along the way
I knew there'd come a time you'd hear me say
I'm sick and tired of always being sick and tired

2x[Dil La Liya Be-parvah dey naal]

Your love is unfair
You live in a world where you didn't listen
And you didn't care
So I'm floating, I'm floating on air

My Love is on the line, my love is on the line
My Love is on the line, my love is on the line

2x[Dil La Liya Be-parvah dey naal]

My Love is on the line, my love...

Your love is unfair
You live in a world where you didn't listen
And you didn't care
So I'm floating, I'm floating on air

Your love isn't fair
You live in a world where you didn't listen
And you didn't care
So I'm floating, I'm floating on air



Heavy On My Heart

I try to fly away but it's impossible
And every breath I take gives birth to deeper sighs
And for a moment I am weak
So it's hard for me to speak
Even though we're underneath the same blue sky

If I could paint a picture of this melody
It would be a violin without its strings
And the canvas in my mind
Sings the songs I left behind
Like pretty flowers and a sunset

CHORUS:
It's heavy on my heart
I can't make it alone
Heavy on my heart
I can't find my way home
Heavy on my heart
So come and free me
It's so heavy on my heart

I've had my share of pleasure
And I've tasted pain
I never thought that I would touch an angel's wings
There's a journey in my eyes
It's getting hard for me to hide
Like the ocean at the sunrise

CHORUS:
It's heavy on my heart
I can't make it alone
Heavy on my heart
I can't find my way home
Heavy on my heart
So come and free me
It's so heavy on my heart

Love, can you find me in the darkness, and love,
Don't let me down
There's a journey in my eyes
It's getting hard for my to hide
And I never thought I'd touch an angel's wings

Whooo...
(Repeat chorus til end)



I Do

Who are they anyway
With their sticks and stones
Don't they know that we know?
There's a chill within their bones
They blame and they name
Make us feel so cold inside
But they cannot take us there cause we will fight

I think the world's gone crazy
I think the world's gone crazy
I think the world's gone crazy
I think the world's gone crazy

Chorus:
Who wants a love without anger and rage?
I do
Who wants a world where a kid can be safe?
I do
Who wants to pray for the end of the pain
For the calm at the end of the day
Where there's not always more of the same
I do

Wanna breathe 
Wanna move and not ever feel afraid
Wanna live in a place
Where the truth still finds a way
To rise and advise
And when everything is lies you break
Cause there's nowhere you can run and still feel safe

I think the world's gone crazy
I think the world's gone crazy
(Yeah)
I think the world's gone crazy
I think the world's gone crazy
(Whaoo)

(Chorus)
Who wants a love without anger and rage?
I do
Who wants a world where a kid can be safe?
I do
Who wants to pray for the end of the pain
For the calm at the end of the day
Where there's not always more of the same
I do

I won't be a part of something so obscene
I think I'm falling
but I won't be falling

(Repeat chorus)
Who wants a love without anger and rage?
I do
Who wants a world where a kid can be safe?
I do
Who wants to pray for the end of the pain
For the calm at the end of the day
Where there's not always more of the same
I do



Welcome To My Truth

Sentimental days
In a misty clouded haze
Of a memory that now feels untrue
I use to feel disguised
Now I leave the mask behind
Painting pictures that aren't, so blue
Pages I've turned are the lessons I've learned

Chorus:
Somebody bring up the lights I want you to see
(Don't you feel sorry for me)
My life turned around but I'm still living my dream
(Yes it's true that I've been)
Through it all
I've hit about a million walls
Welome to my truth
I still love...
Welcome to my truth
I still love...

Tangled in a web
With a pain hard to forget
That was a time
That i've now put to rest
Oooh, the pages I've turned are the lessons I've learned...

Somebody bring up the lights I want you see, ooh
(Don't you feel sorry for me)
My life turned around but I'm still living my dream
(Yes it's true that I've been)
Through it all
I've hit about a million walls
Welome to my truth... I still love
Welcome to my truth... I still love
I still love... Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah...
And you know that i still love, oh yeah yeah yeah...

Sentimental days,
In a misty clouded haze,
Of a memory that now feels
untrue...

So somebody bring up the lights that I want you to seeeeee ohhhhhhh
(Don't you feel sorry for me)
My life turned around but I'm still living my dreammmm of the
(Yes It's true that I've been)
Through it all
I've hit about a million walls
Welcome to my truth...I still love
Welcome to my truth... I still loveee. 


Pretty Little Dum Dum

Floating in a circle of illusion and deceit
drifting far beneath the skin
the taste of bitter sweet
giving into fantasies
playing every part
It's hard to break away from what
he says you are

Chorus:
He Calls you pretty little dum dum
he says he loves you but he lies
he says that you're the one one
but that's eleven in his eyes
whatever happens from one through ten
don't be a victim of his past tense
pretty little one one don't be a pretty little dum dum

A never ending silence
in a never ending sleep
walking through the darkness
complicated melodies
praying for a change of heart
and looking for a sign
it's hard to find the love you want
in broken time

(chorus)

It's hard to be what you wanna be
and you wanted to be the one
but you know that you have to run
your life's incomplete
it's so bittersweet
and you wanted to be the one
but you know that you have to run
it's hard to be what you want to be

(chorus)



Sexy Single

All my life I've tried to find
A love to give me piece of mind
And I, I looked into your eyes
Captivated by your wicked smile
I was mesmerized there
for a while or two
But what's a girl gonna do?

Oh I lay in my bed
with your stupid face in my head
Just another piece in my life
Now I'm a sexy single
Sexy single that's OK
I'm living on my own
And I'm feeling the way I do
Like a sexy single
Sexy single

Birds of a feather
We flock together
Like leaves on a tree
We were meant to be in love
I guess it was just a dream

Oh I lay in my bed
with your stupid face in my head
Just another piece in my life
Sexy single
Sexy single that's OK
I'm living on my own in my special way
Like a sexy single
Sexy single
I'm sexy single
Sexy single
Sexy single

I said I'm living on my own
And feeling the way I do
When I'm not with you

I said I'm sexy single
That's OK
Living on my own
And feeling the way I do
I said when I'm not with you

Sexy single that's OK
I'm living on my own in my special way
Like a sexy single
Sexy single



Rearview

Ohhh.. Ohh..

I used to tell myself that you would wait
I borrowed time for two and I twisted fate
I left us floating in the air for wind to hold on to
It let me down it let you go

I drive around like everything's okay
And I feel the lightening in our own mistakes
And I was gonna tell you
I wish all our wrongs could be right
I'm too late
I looked in my rearview
And now I don't see you

Sometimes the things you want are hard to take
Sometimes the ones you love are risks you don't make, yeah
The dust has settled into nothingness
and I yearn for yesterday
Just look around
I'm still the same

I drive around like everything's okay
like everything's okay
And I feel the lightening in our own mistakes
and I was gonna tell you
I wish all our wrongs could be right
I'm too late
I looked in my rearview
And now I don't see you

So many things that we didn't say
So many reasons the world's not the same
Oh, it's not the same

I drive around like nothing's here has changed
But I know the sky has one more cloud to break
And I was gonna tell you
I wish all our wrongs could be right
I'm too late
I looked in my rearview
And now I don't see you

I said I
I drive and everything has changed
ohh..
and I feel the lightening it's in my own mistakes
and I was gonna tell you
I wish all our wrongs could be right
I'm too late
I looked in my rearview
and now I don't see you

I used to tell myself
that you
would wait



Where Do I Belong

Ohhh.. Ohhh..

Life doesn't promise a bed of roses
Or white knights
Fields of emotions I'm trapped in darkness
Why me
Save me
To win this twisted war inside me
Won't justify the pain
Life doesn't promise a bed of roses

Chorus:
Lightening strikes the pages keep on turning
Help me to be strong
I'm floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I belong?

Ohhh.. Ohh..

They paint you a picture of perfect nowhere blue skies
Within every lie there's a web of comfort
For them
Not me
To win this twisted war inside me
Won't justify the pain
They paint you a picture of perfect nowhere

Chorus:
I said now
Lightening strikes the pages keep on turning
Help me to be strong
I'm floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I belong?

Where do we go from here?
I wish I would disappear
I'm a lonely soul
So far from home

Yeah, yeah, yeah..

Lightening strikes the pages keep on turning
Help me, help me
I'm floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I.. I said
Lightening strikes, I said lightening strikes
Floating in a sea of strange believers
Where do I belong?



Maybe Today

Poison like the air we breath in
This complicated world we weave
Spins around, pulls us down
This life we lead is overrated
Mixed up, fucked up calculated
That's the way
So they say

And all we ever need
Is a chance to be
Freedom lies beneath reality
Find a way
Maybe today

And all the fairytales and fantasies
Can we find a way where we can be free?
Today
Underneath the way we feel
We've lost ourselves between what's real
No lost and found
We're broken down
Take a piece of someone's dreams
They're never simple as it seems
They're thrown away
Like yesterday

All we ever need
Freedom lies beneath reality
Just find a way
Oh maybe it's today
All the fairytales and fantasies
Can we find a way
Where we can be free?

Find a way today
We all will be alone
If this house is not a home
It won't be too long before the air is gone
The love that lonely people crave
Follows them into their grave
We should never leave them lonely

All we ever need
Freedom lies beneath
Find a way (find a way)
Al the fairytales and fantasies
That you need is within
Find a way today
