Factual Lyrics

Can I talk to you?

Could you be the one I've been waitin' for?
The love of my life I've been lookin' for
Only wantin' you more and more
Could you be?

Is this a dream or is it real?
Something 'bout the way that it makes me feel
Calling through the endless space of time
Could you be?

Maybe it's factual
But then again maybe it's actual, oh

Could you be the face that I always see
Starin' in the mirror back at me?
Livin' in the garden of my mind
Could you be?

Could you be the voice whispering in my ear
Soft and gentle words that I love to hear?
How can I be sure when it fades away?
Could you be? Oh

Maybe it's factual
(Maybe, maybe just)
But then again maybe it's actual
(Actual but then again)

Maybe it's factual
(Factual but then again)
But then again maybe it's actual
(Actual, yeah)

Come on, come on, oh

Could you be the face that I always see
Starin' in the mirror back at me?
Livin' in the garden of my mind
Could you be?

Could you be the voice whispering in my ear
Soft and gentle words that I love to hear?
How can I be sure when it fades away?
Could you be? Oh

Maybe it's factual
(Factual but then again)
But then again maybe it's actual
(Actual)

Maybe it's factual
(Factual, baby)
But then again maybe it's actual
(But then again maybe, just maybe)

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh
Yeah, yeah
Come on, come on, come on

But then again maybe it's factual
(Factual, baby, baby)
But then again maybe it's actual
(Actual)

Maybe it's factual
(Factual, factual, factual)
But then again maybe it's actual
(But then again, but then again, but then again)

Maybe it's factual
Maybe it's factual

Lyrics provided by LyricsEver.com
At thirteen, Jonathan's talents caught the ears and eyes of British record producer Clive Caulder. He was signed to Caulder's Jive Records and as the old cliche goes, the rest is history.

Jonathan's first single broke down racial barriers, becoming the first song by a black artist to be played by white radio stations in South Africa. Because Jive was headquartered in England, Jonathan decided to move there to focus on his recording career. His commitment to his craft paid off with his self-titled debut album, which received a Grammy nomination for the pop hit "Lies."

Jonathan's ability to blend his roots in African music with western pop sensibilities would be a trademark of many albums to follow, though never more refined than in his latest release.

For example, the first single from Jonathan is a rendition of the folk-rock classic "Fire and Rain." Butler breathes new life into this classic, infusing the vocals with intensity, as subtle as it is powerful. The musical arrangement is lively and soulful, indicative of his roots in World music. "Fire and Rain" is already garnering accolades from top radio programmers. Lori Lewis, program director for WSMJ in Baltimore states, "It literally gave me a lump in my throat. I walked into the studio and introduced it live on air. Vocals this great are really rare."
