I LOOK TO YOU LYRIC
As I lay me down,
heaven hear me now,
I'm lost without a cause
after giving it my all.
Winter storms have come
and darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?
I look to you...
I look to you....
After all my strength is gone
in you I can be strong
I look to you...
I look to you...
And when melodies are gone
in you I hear a song
I look to you...
About to lose my breathe
there's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
searching for that open door
And every road that I've taken
Lead to my regret
And I don't know if I'm going to make it
Nothing to do but lift my head
I look to you...
I look to you....
After all my strength is gone
in you I can be strong
I look to you...
I look to you...
And when melodies are gone
in you I hear a song
I look to you...
My levees are broken
My walls have come
tumbling down on me
The rain is falling
defeat is calling
I need you to set me free
Take me far away from the battle
I need you
shine on me
I look to you...
I look to you....
After all my strength is gone
in you I can be strong
I look to you...
I look to you...
And when melodies are gone
in you I hear a song
I look to you...
heaven hear me now,
I'm lost without a cause
after giving it my all.
Winter storms have come
and darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?
I look to you...
I look to you....
After all my strength is gone
in you I can be strong
I look to you...
I look to you...
And when melodies are gone
in you I hear a song
I look to you...
About to lose my breathe
there's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
searching for that open door
And every road that I've taken
Lead to my regret
And I don't know if I'm going to make it
Nothing to do but lift my head
I look to you...
I look to you....
After all my strength is gone
in you I can be strong
I look to you...
I look to you...
And when melodies are gone
in you I hear a song
I look to you...
My levees are broken
My walls have come
tumbling down on me
The rain is falling
defeat is calling
I need you to set me free
Take me far away from the battle
I need you
shine on me
I look to you...
I look to you....
After all my strength is gone
in you I can be strong
I look to you...
I look to you...
And when melodies are gone
in you I hear a song
I look to you...

Whitney Houston: the comeback
If the last couple of weeks in pop music have been dominated by the death of a superstar, this week marked at least the beginning of the return of another. Whitney Houston was in London for a playback of tracks from her forthcoming album, ‘I Look At You’, her first release since 2003.
Houston’s fall from grace has been well chronicled, when her image went from girl next door to gaunt, confused, drug-addled diva (who famously declared “crack is wack”). But since her divorce from R&B singer Bobby Brown in 2007, she has apparently been making concerted efforts to put her life back on track.
Although she didn’t perform, Houston looked in good shape. There was a slightly heart stopping moment when, whilst making a schmaltzy speech (“I love London, you and I go back”), a small, coloured lump of something dropped from about her person onto the stage. Houston stared at this suspicious object, then bent to pick it up, announcing, “I really wanted that piece of candy! But frig it, it happens!” It was certainly better than the alternative, but somehow did not quite dispel all doubts about the extent of her recovery. She strayed from the script when she revealed recording sessions became so fraught, executive producer Clive Davis called her the most impossible person he had ever worked with. Given that Davis’s curriculum vitae includes Janis Joplin and Aerosmith, this was saying something. “I’ll accept that,” commented Houston. “I take that as a compliment.”
On the tracks we heard, Houston’s voice (surely the most important part of the equation) sounded rich and strong, although a little huskier. It has all the famous ululating flexibility of yore but I kept waiting for the big key change and power note, which never arrives. These days, when she goes for the highest register, she does it with soft falsetto. Many tracks sounded over-thought and contrived, from a Diane Warren power ballad ‘I Didn’t Know My Own Strength’ (full of self-referencing lines like ‘I did not crumble”, “I was not built to break”) to a host of club friendly contributions from contemporary stars, including Alicia Keys and R Kelly. I am not quite sure what a gospel soul singer once acclaimed as “The Voice” is doing duetting with Akon, the new king of autotune. Best of the bunch was an old fashioned hi energy disco version of Leon Russell’s ballad ‘A Song For You’, on which Houston really sounds like she’s enjoying herself, and not trying too hard to prove she’s back and she’s still hip.
