Serena Lyrics

So what, life's rough
You should get over yourself
Like everyone else and enjoy
The girls and the boys
And everything in between
Serena, in an effort to aviod
The things that annoy you
You hide-far, far away
And life just passes you by


Theme (Serena) x 1

Are you gonna give up
Are you gonna give out
Ain't that a shame
You've got no one to blame
But your conscience
If it doesn't make sense
I know that only to well
So tell me
Did it happen one day
When the day that you faced
Wasn't happening
It just didn't bring
Anything more
Anything more than despair

Theme (Serena) x 2

Do you remember, the morning would come
And just like a child filled with the sun
And the hours never seemed long
Where have those days gone?
Beyond us...
Or so you would believe
But I can't agree, those illusions
Will you ever get through them
And find the diamond,
Find the diamond inside

Theme (Serena) x ad inf

Duncan Scott Sheik (born November 18, 1969) is an American singer-songwriter. Born in Montclair, New Jersey, Sheik's upbringing was split between his parents' home in South Carolina and that of his grandparents in New Jersey. His grandmother, a piano graduate of The Juilliard School, taught him to play the piano and encouraged his musical development. He graduated from Phillips Academy in 1988, after which he studied semiotics at Brown University.

Sheik began his professional musical career playing for other acts, including Liz And Liza (with Lisa Loeb and Liz Mitchell), and played on His Boy Elroy's 1993 album. Through connections from fellow Brown alum Tracee Ellis Ross, Sheik's music gained the attention of executives at Atlantic Records. Duncan Sheik's eponymous debut album for Atlantic spawned the 1996 hit single "Barely Breathing" in the US, which remained on the charts for 55 straight weeks. In 1998, he was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Barely Breathing."

In addition to his work as a solo artist, he collaborates with the poet and writer Steven Sater. Together, they have written an album of art-pop songs, ''Phantom Moon'', a Broadway musical, ''Spring Awakening'', and the score for the film ''A Home at the End of the World''. They are currently working on a new musical based on the story of "The Emperior and the Nightingale", which will have its workshop premiere in 2007 at the La Jolla Playhouse.

As of 2009, Whisper House is the sixth studio album recorded by Duncan Sheik, released in the United States on January. The album is Sheik's first for the RCA Victor label, as well as his first in the wake of success from composing music for the Tony award-winning musical Spring Awakening. Read more on Last.fm.
