Skye Edwards

Skye Edwards (born Shirley Klaris Yonavieve Edwards; 27 May 1974) is a British singer-songwriter. Her career began in 1994 when she and the Godfrey brothers (Paul Godfrey, a DJ, and Ross Godfrey, a multiinstrumentalist) formed Morcheeba, which released five albums with Skye as lead vocalist. In 2003, the band split, after which Skye released two solo albums: Mind How You Go in 2006, and Keeping Secrets in 2009. In 2010, Edwards returned to Morcheeba, again as lead vocalist. In 2012, she released her third solo album, Back to Now.

Edwards decided to shorten her name to Skye by taking the first letter of each of her names and putting them together. She is married to bass player Steve Gordon and they have three children. Edwards has sung on two charity collaborations: Perfect Day (1997, in aid of Children in Need) and Band Aid 20 (2004, in aid of famine relief in Sudan, Africa).

Early life

Edwards was born in London and grew up in the East End. Of Jamaican heritage, she was fostered by white parents from an early age. She described her growing up as 'I always say it was fish and chips, not rice and peas in our house'. Her first musical influences were the country and western records of her mother.

Keeping Secrets (Motor Ace song)

"Keeping Secrets" is the second single in Motor Ace's second album Shoot This. Along with Carry On it is the most publicly played Motor Ace song with the single reaching the top 10 on the ARIA charts in Australia during 2002.

Interpretation

A hooky, guitar driven intro blends into an impassioned narrative that explodes into one of the most melodic choruses heard this year. Vocalist Patrick Robertson said that the song is “…about having the best night of your life…feeling the anticipation of the night ahead – the night you’ve been waiting for all week long. ‘Keeping Secrets’ refers to the idea that the ‘city lights’ hold the secret to the nights pleasures and dramas, to the unpredictability that makes life exciting.”

  • Main Street (novel series)

    Main Street is a children's novel series by Ann M. Martin aiming at age group 8–12. The story revolves around two sisters, Ruby and Flora Northrop, who move to the small town Camden Falls to live with their grandmother after the sudden death of their parents. The books tell us about the girls' new journey and adaptation in a new town and new people with old memories, and some with rather dubious ones. There, they make new friends like Olivia and Nikki. Olivia's grandmother owns a store with Ruby's and Flora's grandmother.

    After completing the Baby-Sitters Club series, Ann M. Martin began the Main Street series. She has stated in one of her interviews that she always liked writing about small towns and this made writing the Main Street series even more interesting. The books have at one point or another talked about almost everyone and all shops in the town. According to Martin, she had to create a whole new imaginary town which was very enjoyable. Each book has a detailed map of the town.

    Skye

    Skye or the Isle of Skye (/sk/; Scottish Gaelic: An t-Eilean Sgitheanach or Eilean a' Cheò) is the largest and most northerly major island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. The island's peninsulas radiate from a mountainous centre dominated by the Cuillins, the rocky slopes of which provide some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the country. Although it has been suggested that the Gaelic Sgitheanach describes a winged shape there is no definitive agreement as to the name's origins.

    The island has been occupied since the Mesolithic period and its history includes a time of Norse rule and a long period of domination by Clan MacLeod and Clan Donald. The 18th-century Jacobite risings led to the breaking up of the clan system and subsequent Clearances that replaced entire communities with sheep farms, some of which also involved forced emigrations to distant lands. Resident numbers declined from over 20,000 in the early 19th century to just under 9,000 by the closing decade of the 20th century. Skye's population increased by 4 per cent between 1991 and 2001. About a third of the residents were Gaelic speakers in 2001, and although their numbers are in decline this aspect of island culture remains important.

    The Rescue

    by: Keeping Secrets

    I lay this out on the table
    Only if you catch me
    Call me out on this fable
    Just to hear my story
    I will look you in the eye
    Say those words that make you melt inside
    History repeats again just like me
    This will never end I will never end
    I’ll be as sketchy as this pen and paper
    Sending you to war without a weapon
    Using my ability to get your sympathy
    The only thing this is, its apathy
    Just one more
    You’ve seen this so many times yet you can’t walk away
    Behind closed doors
    Lights out you think you know me
    So delicately I wanted more
    So I lied and betrayed you
    This must be love
    How could you miss the doubtful look in my eyes?
    When I told you that this felt right
    I will kiss your lips again
    With the passion that you only see in movies
    I’ll set you up to take this fall
    Make you think that I am perfect I’m so perfect
    I own the blueprints to your heart
    And just like mines on a battlefield
    I’ll use these phone calls so strategically
    Placing them perfectly
