Alannah Myles

Blow wind blow all my worries
Away from me
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way

Day goes down
Upon this dirty little town
You gotta find another lonely soul
To share the night

So may you never end
All my sweet and ragged friends
Won't you raise your glass, your voice
And your will to fight

Cause your life belongs to you

Love's unkind
It'll make your heart unwind
You gotta send a message
To yourself to carry on

Burnt out and broke
Another romance in smoke
You better love a little bit of
Somethin' that'll make you strong

Here's a song to see you through
Yes a song will see you through

Chorus:
Blow wind blow all my worries
Away from me
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow all my worries
Away from me
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way

Life comes true
In spite of
Everything we do
You gotta, learn to love
When the joke is played on you

The great unknown
Will make you shiver to the bone
You wanna close your eyes
And pretend you're not alone

Here's a song to sing you home

Yes a song will sing you home

Blow wind blow all my worries
Away from me
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow all my worries
Away from me
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow all my worries
Away from me
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow all my worries
Away from me
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way
Blow wind blow a little heaven my way

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.
