Alannah Myles

Don't Leave me at home too long
Don't let me fall asleep unsung
Don't stay up with your damn TV
Somebody else might make love to me

Hurry .... Hurry
Hurry make love to me

Don't believe in lyin' low
Don't watch all that tall grass grow
I don't believe in darnin' socks
I just believe in love talks

CHORUS:
Hurry .... Hurry
Hurry make love to me
Hurry ....Hurry
Hurry make love to me
Hurry ...Hurry
Hurry make love to me
"The last song on every album is acoustic. That's how I wave goodbye."

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.
