about whisper my name

" Whisper My Name" is a superb collection of finely crafted, award-winning SOUL/R&B from one of Australia's most versatile and energetic performers.

Louise Perryman sings like nobody you've ever heard. Soothing and soulful, sensual and surprising, you will find yourself swimming in her voice. Her lyrics will tear at your heart and her extraordinary voice will heal your soul.

Capturing the timelessness of classic SOUL/R&B, " Whisper My Name", combines Louise's impossibly pure vocals with Australia's finest musicians. And the result is truly exhilarating. Stripped of vocal gymnastics and heavy-handed production tricks favoured by so many artists these days, Louise Perryman delivers her own brand of SOUL/ R&B. One can almost hear the studio reverberate with joy at the sounds of real musicians and artists at the peak of their craft. (Thankfully, there is not a drum machine within a thousand mile radius of this album!)

For those not fortunate enough to have experienced Louise Perryman live, this recording captures her vibrant essence and electrifying stage presence. She is as swept up by her music as any listener is - and it shines through on every track. It is an immensely mature album from a woman who knows her subject matter and sings it with a rare intensity. A gifted writer, Louise skillfully draws you deeper into her lyrical web with each listen.

"Whisper My Name" takes you on a journey of love, heartbreak and soul searching delivered with an intense honesty and raw passion.  The seductive invitation of the title track segues effortlessly from the quiet pain of "Stay" to the hypnotic rhythm of the award winning "Thinkin Too Much. Each track is a tribute to the power of positive energy and will bring a special joy to your ears.

You will want to come back to this album again and again.

"Whisper My Name" is style with substance - Louise Perryman will go straight to your heart.

And the sweet irony is, that with an album titled "Whisper my Name", the extraordinary voice and songs of Louise Perryman, will finally be recognised - loud and clear.

Whisper My Name
Music: Kere Buchanan & Louise Perryman Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright October 1999

Whisper my name, I know you want it
And I wanna feel the way I feel when you got something to say

I feel the change, the weather's coming my way

And I hear

Every little breeze, it seems to whisper

My name, my name, over and over
Can you say it to me the way you say it when it's just you and me

The more I see, the more I want it

The more I need

It's more than just a breeze
Carrying you and me

This love is like a hurricane chasing the wind


Hush now baby, we can have it all

If you hush now baby, listen to your heart
Oh, hush now baby, ain't no need for words
Nothing's been the same
Nothing's been the same

Won't ya whisper my name, don't stop to think about it
Do what you feel and what you feel is there all over your face

Do you feel the change, no doubt about it baby

Don't you see

There's too many people out there talking way too loud
When there's so much that can be said without having to scream

Having to scream and shout


Chorus x 2

Whisper my name, over and over again, I feel the change, nothing's been the same - ooh,
Over and over again, whisper my name, I said hush now baby, this love is like a hurricane

Every little breeze, carrying you and me, I said hush now baby, I feel a change

Over and over again, over and over again...

Play Your Game
Music: Louise Perryman, Kere Buchanan  & Bill Risby Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright  July 2001

Got nothing  to tell my friends
'Cos ain't nothing making sense

You come and you go from me

Oh lately I just don't know

I break so easily
But I could bend if you love me

Baby won't you say you will


I don't wanna play your game, but I will, for now

(someone to see, somewhere to be,  something to do, something to feel)
I don't wanna live that way, let me out
(comin' around, talkin' me down, tryin' me out)

You want company
So I give you what you need

And you get it all for free

All you gotta do is say the word

Speakin' honestly
There's a limit to every foolish dream

Tell me something I'll believe


Chorus

They say that it don't matter if you win or lose
(or what you choose)
But my concern with you

Is how you been playin' the game

(Hey)

I don't wanna play your game, play your game, play your game
No, no


Chorus

come on now, come on now

You know, I know what your game is, I don't wanna play it, no
No, no, oh yeh

You know you're talkin' me down, tryin' me out

(I know what your game is, I don't wanna play it...)
I know what your game is

Don't wanna play, no, no

You're talkin' me down, tryin' me out

No, no

You don't write, you don't call, when you're saying sorry, you ain't sorry at all

No, no

You want company now

Don't want you just comin' around, talkin' me down, tryin' me out

Everybody Need A Little Love
Music: Kere Buchanan & Louise Perryman  Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright January 2001

(Come and get me babe)
(Come and get me  out)
(Come and get me babe)
Come and get me baby
Wooooh, a-ah
(Come and get me babe)
(Come and get me  out)
(Come and get me babe)

Old man trouble he drawn to me like a magnet
There ain't nothin' I do ever turn out the way I plan it

Long lost lady luck she can't seem to find me

I'm staring down the deep dark tunnel of love and there ain't no way out


(Come and get me babe)

Come and get me  out
(Come and get me babe)
Baby, baby, baby
(Come and get me babe) say ooh
(Come and get me out) out
(Come and get me babe)
Come on

What is thing called love, I don't understand it
I'm sinking under your spell and I can't seem to find my way back up

Whatever I do, I float back to you just like magic

Honey, show me the way, lead me astray, won't ya help me


(Come and get me babe)

(Come and get me out) out
(Come and get me babe)
Come and get me baby
(Come and get me babe) come on
(Come and get me out)  say ooh
(Come and get me babe)
Come on, come on, help me do

Everybody need a little bit of love in their life, yeh, need a little love
Everybody need a little bit of love in their life, yeh, come on

Mmmm....


Chorus x 4

I need a little love now, come on
Show me the way babe

(Everybody need a little bit of love in their life)

Come on, come on, help me do

I need a little love now

Come get me babe

(Everybody need a little bit of love in their life)

Come on, come on, help me do

Come on, come on, help me do, hey hey

(Everybody need a little bit of better love)

Come on, come on, help me do

Said show me the way

(Everybody need a little love)

Stay

Music: Kere Buchanan & Louise Perryman Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright February 1999

Stay, for such an easy word it's so hard to say
Stay, 'cos if you leave I don't believe in anything, any day

Don't you leave me here, there's too much time and too much space for me to think

Talk is cheap when your eyes shout to the world that you're not seein' me

Mmm, that's not how it used to be


ow can I just let you leave

If you go, tell me should I let you be
I don't know what I'm supposed to feel

You ask too much of me, wanting me to smile when it's all I can do to breathe
Haven't you got a little something left for me,

I don't need much, just a simple touch, some honesty

Oh, if I cry a thousand tears

Will you change your mind and come back to me

(If you go) If you go, how can I just let you leave
(If you go) If you go, tell me should I let you be

I don't know what I'm supposed to feel

If I cry a thousand tears
Will you change your mind and come back to me

Where there's love, there's hope and my love's for real

You tell me what I'm supposed to feel

(If you go...if you go...)

if you go,ooh...stay baby, stay baby...

stay, ooh yeh... oh-oh-oh-oh yeh...if you go...

if I cry a thousand tears, don't you know my love's for real...

stay, stay, stay...

Thinkin' Too Much
Music: Kere Buchanan & Louise Perryman Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright February 1999

I think I'm thinkin' too much
Why do I make it so tough
I twist and turn in my bed
I wanna love you so bad
I want, oh, I want to have
I'm thinkin' I think too much

Tempted, ooh,I'm tempted, yeah
I wanna spend a little time

Mmm

Helpless, ooh, I'm helpless (yeh, yeh)
You know I wanna make you mine

Ooh baby, the consequences (the consequences)


I think I'm thinkin' too much

Why do I make it so tough
I twist and turn in my bed
I wanna love you so bad
I want, oh, I want to have
I'm thinkin' I think too much

Ah, what happens if?
How could this be?

I'm thinkin' faster than I speak

Are you for real?

Are you all I need?

I think...

Reckless, ooh I'm reckless, yeh
It's not like lovin' is a crime

I'm going out of my mind (mind)

I think I'm thinkin' too much


Chorus...

Prayer for You

Music: Kere Buchanan & Louise Perryman Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright August 1999

Be still my little heart
While I say a prayer for you

Precious words filled with love

I wish it all for you

I would rather like not to let you go

What I'd like to do is keep you safe from harm

But it's the only way I know for a new heart to learn


So this is my prayer for you

Even when you feel there's no hope in sight
This is my prayer for you 'cos I believe in you with all of my might
May you only ever shed a happy tear
Your biggest joy be your darkest fear
I pray you know that my heart is your home

If I could change the world for you
Change it back from what it's coming to

Make it simple, good and true

I would give my life for you

I would rather like not to let you go

What I'd like to do is keep you safe from harm

But it's the only way I know for a new heart to learn


Chorus

Wherever you go
My heart is your home


Chorus

This is my prayer...

This Is Heaven
Music: Bill Risby & Louise Perryman   Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Arrangement: Kere Buchanan
Copyright  May  2000

I love your face
You are amazing

I ain't got no need to cry no more

I feel released

You're perfect baby

I can't believe you could be wanting me

You restore my faith
Now I see what grace is

I ain't got no need to try so hard no more

I feel at peace

In your heart baby

Now I know love, it's such a sweet relief

I can't speak for you babe
This is all through my mind and inside my body

I can't think for you babe, this is out of my hands

What I can do is sing for you

Straight from my heart, I'm thanking you baby

Now I'm not afraid


You are my love, my piece of Heaven

Now I can come and go as I please
I feel so free to love you baby
This is Heaven
This is Heaven

This is how it should be
It's so damn easy

So good to feel so sure of love

Baby, come with me

Believe it

Oh, too good to be true is just fine with me

I can't speak for you babe
This is all through my mind and inside my body

I can't think for you babe, this is out of my hands

What I can do is sing for you

Straight from my heart, I'm thanking you baby

Now I'm not afraid


Chorus x 2

(your sweet grace, you give me faith)


Chorus...

Heaven, my piece of heaven
Heaven, you are my heaven

You Can't Stop Me Now

Music: Kere Buchanan & Louise Perryman Lyrics: Louise Perryman
Copyright November 1999

I been in the trenches long enough to know my heart ain't gonna break
Everybody always saying too hard, too hard, for heaven's sake

It's all a question of how far you'll go to get what you believe

I ain't nothin' special but I know now that I'm ready to receive

So baby, rain on my sky

But say your goodbyes

(gotta get on, gotta get on, gotta get on)


You can't stop me now

I just got going
You can't stop me now
Oh no, no no

I been in some places sure enough I'd say would make a grown man weep
Everybody always saying so hard, so hard, won't you let me be

Oh baby, rain on my sky

And say your goodbyes

(gotta get on, gotta get on, gotta get on)


You can't stop me now

I just got going
You can't stop me now
Oh no, no no no
(gotta get on, gotta get on, gotta get on)


You can't stop me now

I just got going
You can't stop me now
Here I go, oh yeh
I said, here I go

(gotta get on, gotta get on, gotta get on) mmm, yeh
(gotta get on, gotta get on,gotta get on)  you can't stop me now

(gotta get on, gotta get on, gotta get on)  no-ee

(gotta get on, gotta get on, gotta get on)


You can't stop me now

I just got going
You can't stop me now
Oh no, no

You can't stop me now

I just got going
You can't stop me now
Here I go, I say here I go

Hey yeh...you can't stop me now...hey yeh
Look at me I'm flying...here I go...you can't stop me now...

Gotta get on, gotta get on, gotta get on...no-ee

Look at me I'm flying...hey yeh...

Here I go...goodbye...
