Biography

British vocalist, musician, and artist. Born: 25 June 1945 in Hammersmith, London, England, UK. Brought up in London, Siffre is the son of an English mother and Nigerian father. After jobs such as mini-cab driver and delivery man he started to concentrate on music full-time leaving for Cannes, France to play guitar with a variety of soul musicians and bands. He returned to the UK in the late 1960s and enjoyed solo hits in 1971 with "It Must Be Love" (later covered by [a=Madness]) and "Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying". Although "Watch Me" (1972) was his last hit of the 1970s, he made a spectacular comeback with "(Something Inside) So Strong" (1987). In recent years Siffre's work has been reassessed by a new generation after the break from his song "I Got The" from album "[Link]" (1975) (and featuring [a=Chas And Dave] as session musicians!) was sampled by [a=Eminem] in his breakthrough hit "[Link]" (1999). Siffre nowadays spends much of his time writing poetry which deals with gay rights and other world issues.

LYRICS

This is my song
And no one can take it away
It's been so long, but now you're here,
here to stay
And I wonder if you know what it means
To find your dreams come true

This is my song
And no one can make it a lie
It's been so long since someone
Could make me cry
And I wonder if you know what it means
To laugh as tears go by

I may not always sing in tune
And sometimes you don't hear me
But you don't have to be near me
To know that I'm singing

This is my song
And nothing can make it die
It's been so long and it's stronger
I know why
And I wonder if you really, really know
That as long as I live I will sing my song for you
