Ruth-Ann Boyle
Ruth-Ann Boyle (born 26 April 1970, Sunderland) is an English pop music singer who became famous during the 1990s. Together with producers Tim Kellett and Robin Taylor-Firth, she formed the British band Olive. The band became world famous with "You're Not Alone" in 1997.
In 1999 she sang lead vocals on tracks "Gravity of Love" and "Silence Must be Heard" on Enigma's album "The Screen Behind the Mirror", the former of which was also released as a single. She also performed guest-vocals for their 2003 album Voyageur.
Her first solo album 'What about Us?', produced by Michael Cretu of Enigma, was only released as a digital download via iTunes in 2007, quoting a lack of necessary project support and co-ordination to produce physical copies of the album.
Biography
Influenced by singers like Rickie Lee Jones and Joni Mitchell, Boyle joined various bands from age 17–19, but these turned out to be unpleasant experiences ("folk bands, Rickie Lee Jones and stuff like that, all the angst"). In the intervening time, she performed assembly-line work in factories before ending up managing a pub in Sheffield. Meanwhile, she also recorded vocal samples for The Durutti Column, the Manchester-based musical project headed by Vini Reilly.

More Than Ordinary
by: Ruth AnnI saw the storm to come, before I felt the rain
But we’ve been through it all and the end’s always the same
Lightning and thunder could never break you and I apart
There’s no mountain high enough to stop us once we start
This love we have (it’s more than ordinary)
Can’t break it, can’t shake it, it’s more than ordinary
This love we share (it’s more than ordinary)
Can’t move it, I know that, it’s more than ordinary
Once I found you I never bothered looking around
The only search I have, is a way to keep this treasure I’ve found
It’s nothing I could ever compare, it’s more than a dream come true
I can’t compare the others to what I share with you
This love we have (it’s more than ordinary)
Can’t break it, can’t shake it, it’s more than ordinary
This love we share (it’s more than ordinary)
Can’t move it, I know that, it’s more than ordinary
This love we have (it’s more than ordinary)
Can’t break it, can’t shake it, it’s more than ordinary
This love we share (it’s more than ordinary)
Can’t move it, I know that, it’s more than ordinary
This love we have (it’s more than ordinary)
Can’t break it, can’t shake it, it’s more than ordinary
This love we share (it’s more than ordinary)
