Billie Ray Martin began her music career as a guest vocalists for Die Zwei (Miss Fit – 1984) and S’Express (1989). Her work continued as member of Electribe 101 from 1988 – 1990, releasing house classics; Talking with Myself, You’re Walking and Inside Out. Her solo career took off with the release of her classic dance track, Your Loving Arms – this song is what I chose for song of the week this week.
Your Loving Arms was released in 1994 and was an instant hit around clubs and dance floors around the world. Many consider this song an all-time classic of dance – personally, this song and the Sound Factory Remix is definitely in my top 5 of all-time! Deadline For My Memories, Billie Ray Martins first solo album, was mainly considered a ‘dance album’ but the musical influences are definitely tinged with soul and R&B. Billie Ray Martin’s voice is distinctive, unique and smooth. I always look forward to any new music that Billie Ray Martin releases, whether it is collaborations with other artists or dj’s or her amazing solo work – it is always fresh and innovative. Do you want to know why Billie Ray Martin is dubbed “the queen of electronic soul” – just take a listen to the music she has released.
The lyrics, audio and video (remix) of Your Loving Arms follow, hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
YOUR LOVING ARMS
So many times have I asked you to tell me
That I’m you’re girl
Time after time I have needed a reason
Just to get inside your world
So many times have I asked you to
ask me
How it feels to love
And when this love seems the only conclusion
That I’m guilty of
Baby then you
Put your loving arms around me
And it feels like shelter when you
Put your loving arms around me
And inside your arms I’m burning
Put your loving arms around me
And you whisper to me when you
Put your loving arms around me
And inside this love I’m yearning
Sometimes the way that you act makes me wonder,
What I am to you
And sometimes I can’t stand the way that I’m acting
To be part of the things you do
Often I ask you for too much of your time
Like I’m stealing
And when I dream of the fear that you’re leaving
And I reach out
My baby then you
Put your loving arms around me
And it feels like shelter when you
Put your loving arms around me
And inside your arms I’m burning
Put your loving arms around me
And you whisper to me when you
Put your loving arms around me
And inside this love I’m yearning
