The once and future lead singer of The Go-Go's 1991 solo album features the hit "Half The World" and the title track. Players include Eric Bazilian (The Hooters), Dave Alvin (The Blasters), Stan Lynch (Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers), Ellen Shipley, Maria Vidal, percussionist Luis Conte, drummer Kenny Aronoff and many more.



Carlisle added a bit of dance flavor to her signature pop/rock stylings on her fourth solo set. Numbers like the catchy "Do You Feel Like I Feel" and the harder-edged "I Plead Insanity" are dancefloor-ready, yet still contain the robust vocal delivery and seeping guitar riffs necessary to please longtime fans. And the timeless melody of "Half the World" is the kind that made earlier hits like "Heaven Is a Place on Earth" and "Circle in the Sand" mainstays on radio long after their chart runs. The elegant arrangement of "Half the World," which includes Spanish guitars, mandolin and oboe, gives the song a universal appeal, whilst "Emotional Highway" has a slight Middle Eastern feel via Carlisle's sullen vocal and the moody surf guitars. Live Your Life Be Free shows the singer to be capable in a variety of musical contexts, and is a pleasing listen throughout.

Mid-priced U.K. reissue on Virgin records of her 1991 solo album, released in the U.S. on MCA. 11 tracks.

With this album, Belinda Carlisle begins to take a slight turn from her three previous albums. It rocks a little harder, I think, especially the title track, which I think ranks as one of her five best songs ever. This was the first real commercial disappointment for her in the states, and she really never rebounded. It's a shame, because people are missing out on some really great music with this album and the follow-up "Real". With this album, you can tell she goes a little beyond the safety net vocally, sounding more raw and better than ever. How many people can you say sound better as they age? Belinda definately does.

Live Your Live Be Free

I see you walking with her
I see you all around
But you don't seem very happy now
You seem very down
I know you feel an obligation
To her emotional state of mind
But this is the time of your life baby
And you should be having a good time

And if you want me I'll be there
To run my fingers through your hair
If you need me it's alright
Come on over baby, and see me tonight (you've got to)
Live your life be free
Live your life be free
Open up your mind and you will see
You should be with me

You know that I'll be waiting
You know my heart is true
I will be your everything
And give everything to you
So is you want me baby, I'm yours
You don't have to knock, kick down my doors
Rules are made to be broken every day
You got one life to live, so hey (why don't you)
Live your life be free
Live your life be free
Open up your heart and you will see
You should be with me, baby
You should be with me

Live your life be free
Live your life be free
And when you free you mind
You will leave your past behind
Live your life be free
Live your life be free
Open up your eyes and you will see
You should be with me, baby
You should be with me
Live your life be free
Live your life be free
Open up your heart and you will see
You should be with me baby
You should be with me


Do You Feel Like I Feel?

I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so shaken by you baby
I can barely breath
Everytime I see you
I just want to break down and cry
No one's ever moved me
Just the way you move me inside

Do you feel like I feel
Or am I all alone
Is this love really real

Baby I've got to know

When you held me last night
Were your words really real
Are you just using me
Or do you feel like I feel
Do you feel like I feel

From that moment that I met you baby
I just knew
It was so easy for me just to be with you
When the sun comes shining
Will you still be lying by my side
Tell me if I'm dreaming
Is there deeper meaning
For me in your life

Do you feel like I feel
Or am I all alone
Is this love really real

Baby I've got to know

When you held me last night
Were your words really real
Are you just using me
Or do you feel like I feel
Do you feel like I feel

I'm the one who wants you
I'm the one who needs you
I'm the one who won't let go
You've got all the power
I'm dying by the hour
Come on baby let me know

When you held me last night were your words really real
God I'm so much in love
Do you feel like I feel, like I feel, like I feel


Half The World

Only one shadow on the wall
Just one candle burning bright
I hold your picture to my heart
I'm alone inside the night
The sun comes up in China ... the lights go on in Rome

Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold
Half the world is praying they'll never be alone
Everytime you leave me a part of me goes too
And half your world is waiting here for you

I reach across an empty bed
I hear your whisper in my ear
But like the sun without the moon
It's half a dream without you here
The train that takes you from me
Brings somebody home

Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold
Half the world is praying they'll never be alone
Everytime you leave me a part of me goes too
And half your world is waiting here for you

Baby the earth stands still
When I'm lying next to you
No matter where you go
Our whole world's inside this room
The sun comes up in China
The lights go on in Rome ... oh

Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold
Half the world is praying they'll never be alone
And everytime you leave me my heart breaks in two
And half the world is waiting here for you

I'm waiting here for you ...


You Came Out Of Nowhere

I thought I heard a sound
Somebody calling out to me
So I turned around
Strangers as far as I could see
Drifting through this crowd
Barely awake form last night's dream
I call your name out loud
I never thought you'd answer
You came out of nowhere baby
Just when I felt like giving up
Do you know where I've been searching
Everywhere this side of reality
This side of eternity
Why'd you take so long
Man I thought you'd never get here
I waited for the dawn
Never finding you was my one fear
It's dark before it's light
And just when you can't believe your eyes
Morning breaks bright and the storm is over
You came out of nowhere baby
Just when I felt like giving up
Do you know where I've been searching
Everywhere this side of reality
This side of eternity
You came out of nowhere baby
Just when I thought it was all too much
Do you know where I've been searching
Everywhere this side of reality
This side of eternity
It might have rained for the rest of my life
But you came along
It could have been pain for all of these nights
But you came to stay
You came out of nowhere baby
Just when I felt like giving up
Do you know where I've been searching
Everywhere this side of reality
This side of eternity


You're Nothing Without Me

I guess I didn't hear your right
Did you say that you were leaving me
You really must be feeling bad
To say those kinds of things to me
I'm sorry that you feel that way
Because I ...
Thought that we really had it made
That you and I were gonna last
I guess it's fair to let you know

You're nothing without me
I wouldn't walk out that door
Or you may find out the hard way
Just what love is for
You're nothing without me
You'll never fall in love again
Because there's only one me and you
Why pretend

So you wanna be someone new
You want to go and have a ball
The party's been missing you
Baby can't you hear them call
Well I won't stand in your way
I just want to ...
Give you a little free advice
I'd like to help you help yourself
Save you some trouble on the way

You're nothing without me
I wouldn't walk out that door
Or you may find out the hard way
Just what love is for
You're nothing without me
But the person that you used to be
Do you remember what a drag it was
Being so lonely

You're nothing without me
I wouldn't walk out that door
Or you may find out the hard way
Just what love is for
You're nothing without me
But a ship without a sail
Alone in the middle of a dead calm sea
Standing still

You're nothing without me
But a person in a sad cafe
May I suggest dinner for one
Before you go on your way


I Plead Insanity

I can't be responsible
For anything I do now or say now
I get too excitable
To control the way I behave now
I'm afraid of what I'll do
If I find myself alone with you
It's just a crime of passion baby
Don't hold it against me
I'm innocent
I'm just out of my mind

I plead insanity
Whoa, I'm so mad about you
I can't think straight, I can't see straight
I plead insanity
All I do is obsess about you
I can't work days
I can't sleep nights

I plead insanity
I know that there are rules for this
And I plan to break every one of them
And if I go too far tonight
Baby you can be my alibi
And if I act irrational
I'm not responsible
For anything that happens here
Don't hold it against me
I'm innocent
I'm just out of my mind
I plead insanity
All I do is obsess about you
I can't work days
I can's sleep nights
I plead insanity

I plead insanity
Whoa, I'm so mad about you
I can't think straight, I can't see straight
I plead insanity
All I do is obsess about you
I can't work days
I can't sleep nights
I have a fantasy...


Emotional Highway

Heard you're up to no good
Doin' everything I never would
Shakes me up
Brings me down
Puts my world six feet underground
Well I need to know what's going on
Before I lose my mind
If I catch you with her I don't know what I'll do
When I get home what will I find

Whoa emotional highway
Driving all night and day through the pouring rain
I've heard a rumor now
I've got to find out for myself
If my baby's giving his heart to someone else

Well my mind's playing tricks
To think of you and her just makes me sick
Every mile that I go
I keep praying I don't lose control
Well the road is long and conditions are bad
And all I think about is you
I don't have time to wait in line
Move over mister
I've gotta get through

Whoa emotional highway
Driving all night and day through the pouring rain
I've heard a rumor now
I've got to find out for myself
If my baby's getting it on with someone else

Emotional highway
Emotional highway
Emotional highway, emotional, emotional, emotional

Baby baby I know that we're two of a kind
That's why I've got suspicion on my mind

Whoa emotional highway
Driving all night and day through the pouring rain
I've heard a rumor now
I've got to find out for myself
If my baby's me up for someone else

Emotional highway
Emotional highway
Emotional highway, emotional, emotional, emotional

Got to get back, get back to my baby

Emotional highway
Emotional highway
Emotional highway, emotional, emotional, emotional

Got to get back, get back to my baby


Little Black Book

There was a time you and I were everything
You'll never know the days and nights
I spend imagining

Yesterday is the only place
We'll ever know oh oh

In my little black book
There's someone I used to know
Day by day time slips away
Where did our love go
In my little black book
You're always there to remind me
It wasn't just a dream
And baby in my heart you will always be

Picked up the phone
Didn't know
What I was gonna do
I heard your voice
I had no choice
I hang up on you

Yesterday is the only place
We'll ever know oh oh

In my little black book
There's someone I used to know
Day by day time slips away
Where did our love go
In my little black book
You're always there to remind me
How it used to be
But baby in my heart
You're still a part of me

There's no future living in the past
You can dream but you can never go back
Oh no you will always be there
In my little black ... in my little black book

There's someone I used to know
Day by day time slips away
Where did our love go
In my little black book
You're always there to remind me
It wasn't just a dream
We're worlds apart
You're in my heart
And there you'll always be

In my little black book
There's someone I used to know
Day by day time slips away
Where did our love go
In my little black book
You'll always be
A part of me
You always be
In my little black book


Love Revolution

This is gettin' old baby
Time for a real change
Time to turn our whole world around
'Cause I been getting restless now
Wondering what's up between you and me
Is gettin' me down
We've been hangin' on for far too long
Somehow everything went wrong
We're in a place we don't belong anymore

You know that it's true baby
So I'll see you around
Just walk away until you can make
A love revolution (love revolution)
And come back to me
Just do whatever it takes
Whatever you need to make
A love revolution (love revolution)
For you baby, for me baby

I said love, love revolution
I said love, love revolution

Hey I'm not afraid to change
Inside and out baby
With or without you by my side
It's time to scream and shout
Let all these feelings out
Find out what's happening inside
Take away the borders inside your head
And you'll see other things instead
Realize the life we've led is all over now

You know that it's true baby
So I'll see you around
Just walk away until you can make
A love revolution (love revolution)
And come back to me
Just do whatever it takes
Whatever you need to make
A love revolution (love revolution)
For you baby, for me baby

I said love, love revolution
I said love, love revolution

If we're gonna turn the world around
It's time that we get down to it
If we're gonna turn the world around
It's time that we get down to it
Now I know that there's another way
And I'm not waiting one more day
To make love revolution
For you baby, for me baby
And I wanna be around
When your walls come tumbling down
In a love revolution
A love revolution
Love revolution


World Of Love

Under me
The endless sky
I have my peace of mind
I can see
For miles and miles
I hear my heartbeat echo
I feel the colors flowing over me
World of love
It only happens in a world of love
Can you feel it, so divine, I'll make my own
World of love
Everything changes in a world of love
So surreal I believe the way I feel
Do you believe
In destiny
Ooh it will set you free
Everything starts with a kiss
No thought of tomorrow
Right now is just a place for you and me
World of love
It only happens in a world of love
Can you feel it, so divine
I'll make my own
World of love
Everything changes in a world of love
So surreal I believe the way I feel
A trip through wonderland
Will make you understand
All you need harmony ooh
World of love
It only happens in a world of love
Can you feel it so divine I'll make my own
World of love
Everything changes in a world of love
So surreal I believe the way I feel


Loneliness Game

She could have anything
But still she's down
The happiness that means everything
Is not around
On the outside
It looks like a perfect world
Inside I know what you're thinking
She's too pretty to be sad
She's too rich to cry
She's no different
She's just the same
No one's left out of this loneliness game
She can't find her way out of the loneliness game
No she can't find love
Pearls don't mean a thing
When love's not there
No gold or diamond rings
Can stop the tears
From the outside
You couldn't feel her pain
Inside I know what you're thinking
She's too pretty to be sad
She's too rich to cry
She's no different
She's just the same
No one's left out of this loneliness game
She can't find her way out of the loneliness game
No she can't find love
In the loneliness game, the loneliness game
She lies awake at night
Alone in silence
She reaches for the light
And waits for guidance
She's too pretty to be sad
She's too rich to cry
She's no different, she's just the same
No one's left out of this loneliness game
She can't find her way out of this loneliness game
No she can't buy love
In the loneliness game, the loneliness game ...
