An old song! The lyrics are so beautiful and touching.
By the way, the singer is so pretty! Even after 20 years, she is still a pretty woman with sexy figure. She is one of the actresses in the "Desperate Wife".
Below is part of the lyrics: Sometimes the snow comes down in June; Sometimes the sun goes around the moon; I see a passion in your eyes; Sometimes it's all a big surprise; There was a time all I did was wish; You tell me this was love; It's not the way I hope or how I plan; But somehow it's enough; But now we stand face to face; Isn't this world a crazy place; Just when I thought our chance had passed; You come and save the best for last! ...

(1) Give me that slow knowing smile
-The lyrics describe how a broken-heart woman searching back her soul and remedying her broken-heart. On the contrary, she is looking forward to that well-known face and smile of her ex-lover!
- I love the whistle in the beginning and end of the song
(2) I don't mind
-Once you fall in love, there is a huge change in one's life. You don't mind what others' think and their criticisim!
-Harmonica was used. Just love it. The usage and appearance of harmonica directly lead me to associate it to Fukuyama Masaharu's songs. Both Fukuyama Masaharu and Lisa really know how to use this instrument effectively!
- It seems that there's another instrument appearing in the middle of and at the end of the song together with harmonica. What is it???? Quite attractive!
(3) I'll be around
-I love this song and the lyrics! I hope that this ideal dreamlover will appear soon. He will sing this song just for me. Huh huh!!
-Trumpet was used and appeared in the middle of the song.
(4) One life
-Meaningful lyrics
-The music is elegant
-Love this song
-Is it the sound of castanet appearing loudly in the beginning and middle of the song???

Actually, it's an album published in mid 2009. She came to South East Asia region to promote her first debut album in late 2009. One day, I accidentally heard one of her songs from a local radio station. Her music is pleased to the ears! What a relaxing melody with meaningful lyrics!
I also read a detail interview related to her from a local newspaper later. That article wrote her personal, educational and musical background. Although she is a newcomer in singer-songwriter field, she is so talented in music. She can write music and lyrics.
Nearly all the songs (including lyrics and music) in her first debut album are written by Zee Avi herself. Also, she is good at playing guitar and Ukulele. This is her feature. She can even play piano. I strongly recommend you all, who have not listened to her music before, to listen to her music.
--all songs (except "First of The Gang") written by herself: Zee AVI, a singer songwriter
Here's my favourite songs and sharings of her debut albumn: (1) Bitter Heart
-written in simple English
-spry rhythm
-describe a lady's deep down feeling during waiting her sweetheart. However, the darling finally leave her. A bitter heart must be hidden
(2) Poppy
-Poppy is harmful one’s life and affects his/her sweetheart!
-meaningful lyrics conveying good message
(3) Honey Bee
-(As compared to another famous Japanese singer-songwriter Masha's song,) there's a precise shortcoming in musical arrangement.
(4) Just You and Me
-spry rhythm
-a song state what a pair of lovers has to face during the dating stage and the difference in between a man and a woman.Just a process of how to get along with each other!
