Alannah Myles

Life leads the thoughtful woman
On a path of many findings
Finding her own companion
From a cast of many thousands

Well for you my love, my melancholy love
Whoa...You pour like rain, pour like rain, Ooooh

Verse II:
Winged thoughts echo freely
In words as strong as diamonds
I may not be your lover
But I'm a shoulder you can cry on

Can't you take a walk with me
Down into the sea, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Chorus:
Mother Nature, c'mon Mother Nature
Taste as sweet as wine, sweet as wine
Like Tahitian orchids baby
Mother Nature's fine, Ha!

Woooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mother Nature tastes so fine

When two people love each other
Ain't no stoppin' Mother nature
'Cause she tastes so fine
Like Mama's wine
Oh, Mother Nature baby
C'mon Tahitian orchids sweetly
Makin' love so fine
Mother Nature, Mother Nature
Mother Nature tastes so fine

Ow, for you my love, my melancholy love
Whoa...Pours like Mother Nature, yeah, yeah
Aw c'mon Mother Nature baby

Oh baby, tastes so fine
I'm gonna drink up all my wine
Ooooh baby Mother Nature tastes so fine...Yeah

Whoa for you my love, my melancholy love
Whoa...pours like Mother nature, yeah, yeah
Makin' love so fine
Like Mama's wine

When Alannah Myles played the role of a young aspiring singer on an episode of The Kids Of Degrassi Street, it was more than just an act. Less than a decade later, the daughter of Canadian Hall Of Fame Broadcaster William Douglas Byles would be a Grammy and Juno Award-winning singer best known for her 1990 international hit “Black Velvet”.

Myles (who changed her last name from Byles as a teen) began writing songs at nine and was participating in Toronto’s Kiwanis Music Festival at twelve. While gigging solo at nineteen across southern Ontario, songwriter/musician Christopher Ward invited her to form a rock and blues cover band with him. During this time Ward became MuchMusic’s first VJ.

Ward spent seven years trying to get Myles signed. He produced a three song demo for her, and her entertainment lawyer Stephen Stohn came up with the idea of making a ‘video demo’ of Myles singing “Just One Kiss”. This finally attracted Warner Music Canada in 1987. The demo was passed along to Warner’s US affiliate labels and Atlantic Records also took interest.
