When Belinda Carlisle pursued a solo career, she took more than her share of criticism from rock critics — who complained that slick pop/rock collections like Belinda Carlisle and Heaven on Earth lacked the bite of her work with the Go-Go's. But while nothing here packs quite the punch that "How Much More," "We Got Tthe Beat" and "Turn to You" did, such memorable songs as "Heaven Is a Place on Earth," "Should I Let You In?" and "I Get Weak" show that the Angelino still had plenty of spirit. "Circle in the Sand" is in fact a gem — a haunting Shangri-Las-like song with an early-to-mid-'60s-ish quality that makes you wish you were back in the Summer of '64 on your way to the beach. If one were to own only one solo effort from Carlisle's MCA years, this would be the best choice.

Alex Henderson, All-Music Guide



Früher sang sie bei der Frauen-Truppe "The Go Go's", nun in eigener Regie: eine weise Entscheidung, mit dem Welthit "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" belohnt. Produzent Rick Nowels (Stevie Nicks) liegt die Lady hörbar gut; er fertigte mit ihr ein kommerzielles Pop-Album aus einem Guß.

Belinda Carlisle ist eine attraktive Dame mit Vergangenheit. Bei den Go Go's prägte ihre Stimme den besten Girlie-Pop dieses Jahrzehnts, und auch solo geizt die Amerikanerin nicht mit ihren Reizen. Von dem US-Nummer-1- Hit "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" ausgehend, entfaltet sie selbstbewußt eine breite Palette von Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten, powert wie Pat Benatar ("Should I Let You In?"), zitiert geschmackvoll die Cream ("I Feel Free"), versucht sich an einer Madonna-Melodie ("We Can Change") oder besinnt sich auf bewährte Go Go's-Qualitäten. Das alles ist nicht "der Himmel auf Erden", aber eine schöne Platte von einer talentierten Sängerin.

Heaven Is A Place On Earth

When the night falls down
I wait for you
And you come around
And the world's alive
With the sound of kids
On the street outside
When you walk into the room
You pull me close and we start to move
And we're spinning with the stars above
And you lift me up in a wave of love...

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth

When I feel alone
I reach for you
And you bring me home
When I'm lost at sea
I hear your voice
And it carries me
In this world we're just beginning
To understand the miracle of living
Baby I was afraid before
But I'm not afraid anymore

Ooh, baby, do you know what that's worth ?
Ooh heaven is a place on earth
They say in heaven love comes first
We'll make heaven a place on earth
Ooh heaven is a place on earth


Circle In The Sand

Sundown all around
Walking thru the summer's end
Waves crash baby, don't look back
I won't walk away again
Oh, baby, anywhere you go,
We are bound together
I begin, baby, where you end
Some things are forever !

Circle in the sand
'Round and 'round
Never ending love is what we've found
And you complete the heart of me
Our love is all we need
Circle in the sand

Cold wind, tide move in
Shiver in the salty air
Day breaks, my heart aches
I will wait for you right here.
Oh, baby when you look for me
Can you see forever ?
I begin baby, where you end
We belong together

Circle in the sand
'Round and 'round
Rising of the moon as the sun goes down
And you complete the heart of me
Our love is all we need

Circle in the sand
Circle in the sand
Baby can you hear me ?
Can you hear me calling ?


I Feel Free

Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
I feel free
I feel free

Feel when I dance with you
We move like the sea
You - you're all I want to know
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free

I can walk down the street but there's no one there
Though the pavement's one huge crowd
I can drive down the road but my eyes don't see
Thought my mind wants to cry out loud
Yea my mind wants to cry out loud

Ahh
Ahh
Ahh
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free

As far as I can see
Ceiling is the sky
You're the sun and as you shine on me
I feel free
I feel free
I feel free
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
I feel free
I feel free


Should I Let You In

Should I let you in
Into my house with its concrete walls
Should I let you in
Into my room with its curtains drawn

I want to open up
And let you walk right through my door
Can you tell me
Is it worth
The risk anymore

Should I let you in ?
Should I let you in ?
Should I let you in ?
Should I let you in ?

Should I let you in
Into my far from perfect place
Should I let you see
Where I keep my secrets safe

I want to open up
But I've been hurt this way before
Can you tell me
Is it worth the risk anymore ?
Should I let you in ?
Through my window
I see you now
You're looking in
I'm looking out
My heart will make up its mind somehow

Should I let you in into my house
Should I let you in inside these walls
Should I let you in into my heart
Should I let you in inside my world

Should I let you in ?
Should I let you in ?
Should I let you in ?


World Without You

If there was no sunshine
I could learn to live with the rain
Darling if I had to
I could trade pleasure of pain
I could live without food or money
Wouldn't be so hard to do
And if the stars fell down from the sky
Baby I would make it through !

But in a world without you
Where would I be
Where would I be without you babe
In a world without you
Where would I be
Where would I be without you babe
I couldn't breathe without you babe

Wouldn't be no music
No reason to laugh, no reason to smile
Couldn't call it living
Without nothing to make the living worthwhile
You know that it would all seem worthless
If you weren't here with me
I could have the world in my hands
But I wouldn't have a thing

Baby - it would all be worthless
If you weren't with me
I could have the world in my hands
But I wouldn't have a thing


I Get Weak

When I'm with you
I shake inside
My heart's all tangled up
My tongue is tied it's crazy
Can't walk, can't talk, can't eat, can't sleep
Oh, I'm in love, oh I'm in deep 'cuz baby
With a kiss you can strip me defenseless
With a touch I completely lose control
'Til all that's left of my strength is a memory, wo...

I get weak when I look at you
Weak when we touch
I can't speak when I look in your eyes
I get weak when you're next to me
Weak from this love
I can't speak when I look in your eyes
I get weak

Convincing eyes, persuasive lips
The helpless heart just can't resist their power
You know you've got a hold over me
You know you've got me where I want to be 'cuz lover
Like a wave you keep pulling me under
How I'll ever get out of this I don't know
I just know there's just no way to fight it, wo...

I get weak when I look at you
Weak when we touch
I can't speak when I look in your eyes
I get weak when you're next to me
Weak from this love
I'm in deep when I look in your eyes
I get weak I get weak I get weak

Just a kiss you can strip me defenseless
Just a touch I completely lose control
'Til all that's left of my strength is a memory, wo...

I get weak when I look at you
Weak when we touch
I can't speak when I look in your eyes
I get weak when you're next to me
Weak from this love
I can't speak when I look in your eyes
I get weak I get weak I get weak


We Can Change

In my head I hear a haunting melody
It reminds me of the way things used to be
There was a time when we had everything
We gotta stop living in that dream

No nothing remains the same
We can't hold on but baby, baby
We can change

Oh - we can change anything we want to yeah
Oh - we can change the world
And make it better
But first we gotta change together now
Oh baby baby we can change
There's a message in the falling rain outside
There's a message in the tears falling from your eyes
I swear we don't have to hurt anymore
Throw the old ways out and close the door

No, nothing remains the same
We can't hold on but baby, baby
We can change

Baby, when you're trapped something snaps
And you start to die
Living all those years with our fears and
You wonder why


Fool For Love

When I look into your eyes I see
Everything I was meant to be
If I'm a fool in love
I don't care, I don't care
When we're together
All I know
There is a place
I need to go

If I'm a fool in love
I don't care, I don't care
If I'm a fool in love
If I'm a fool in love
If I'm a fool in love
I don't care
I don't care

Visions of moonlight
In the park
We kissed and danced away
In the dark

If I'm a fool in love
I don't care, I don't care
Was it wrong to show you
All I feel ?
No, I think that what
Does us in is the end is
Love we're afraid to reveal...
Driving midnight highway one
Love is the ocean
You're the one


Nobody Owns Me

Nobody owns me
I don't wanna be anybody's fool
No one can make me do
What I don't want to do - no, no
Nobody owns me
Nobody but you
I'm gonna follow my heart
Wherever it leads oooh
I'm not afraid of my destiny - oooh
There's another point of view
It takes me back to you
I wanna dream my dreams
And live them too - oooh
Do a million things before I'm through - oooh
There's another side of me
That only you can see


Love Never Dies

I never knew how long a day could be
It was winter and the sun was shining
Beyond the shadows I could see
It was winter and the wind was blowing

Love never dies
I know that true love never dies
The season end
And time moves on
But true love never dies

I look at picture I took of you
Now it's winter and the color's fading
I just sit here while the wind blows through me
No matter how hard I try
Can't stop this feeling

Love never dies
I know that true love never dies
A day comes to end
And time moves on
But true love never dies
True love never dies
Never dies
Now I don't want to be wanting you
It's been three years and my heart's still crying

Love never dies
I know that true love never dies
A day comes to end
And time moves on
But true love never dies !
True love never dies !
Love never dies
Love never dies
Love never dies...
