Stacey Q
Stacey Lynn Swain (born November 30, 1958), known by her stage name Stacey Q, is an American pop singer, songwriter, dancer and actress. Her best-known single, "Two of Hearts", released in 1986, reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and in the top ten on charts in other countries.
Early life
Swain was born on November 30, 1958 in Fullerton, California. She is the youngest of three children. Her mother, Joyce, bred Cardigan Welsh Corgis that have appeared in Hollywood films and television. In an 1989 interview, Swain said she was three years old when she asked for dance lessons, but had to wait until she was five, when she did classical ballet. In 1969, she became the youngest member of the Dance Theater of Orange County, a local company that performed at benefit shows in Anaheim. She spent eleven years studying ballet, and also learned flamenco dancing. She performed at multiple Disneyland's Christmas Fantasy on Parade events. She studied at the Community Theatre of Performing Arts and the Wilshire Theatre of Arts. She also performed in costume as the "Dutch Puppet", a name she used as a publishing alias during her early recording career. She went to Loara High School during her sophomore year, but then transferred to Anaheim High School. After graduating from high school in 1976, Swain joined the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus, where she performed as a showgirl in her first year, and as an elephant rider in her second year. Her first singing project was a Los Angeles radio spot where she would introduce and announce programs while impersonating members of The Go-Go's.
Stacey Q (album)
Stacey Q is the first extended play by American singer Stacey Q, released in 1985 by On the Spot Records. It was only released in cassette format limited to 500 copies. Produced by Jon St. James, the EP features an early version of her hit song "Two of Hearts", which would later peak at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and become one of the highest-selling singles of 1986. Other songs on the EP include "Dancing Nowhere" from her debut album Better Than Heaven (1986) or "Dancing in the Dark", a cover version of Kim Wilde's song. "Shy Girl" was released as a single.
Background and recording
After the release of the album Playback (1983) with the band SSQ, Swain began working with Jon St. James on her solo material. St. James brought the song "Two of Hearts" and wanted her to record it. The song was originally intended for Sue Gatlin who co-wrote it with John Mitchell and Tim Greene. At first, Swain refused to record a song written by someone else, but later she changed her mind and decided to record it. After being signed by Atlantic Records, "Two of Hearts" was included on her debut album Better Than Heaven (1986).

Tara
by: Stacey Q(Verse 1)
High on a hill,
One man looking down.
Up in the sky, he could see for miles and miles.
When he rememberes the vow he made,
His heart sunk oh so low.
And a single tear rained down around us all.
(Hook)
When Tara spins red, white green and blue.
On the air, always there for you.
(Chorus)
Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha
Om Tare
Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha
Om Tare
Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha
(Verse 2)
On that day out of love,
She came into this world.
A girl so bueatuiful, with a heart of gold.
She said "to shelter you from harm,
Well I'd do anything".
Ride as high above, she never grows old.
(Hook)
Now Tara spins red, white green, and blue.
On the air, always there for you. There for you.
(Chorus 2x)
Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha
Om Tare
Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha
Om Tare
Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha
(Verse 3)
And now a rain of flowers come down around the mountain
And a yellow lady danced across the sky.
Until the clock the strikes me out loses it's meaning
And your life flashes right before your eyes
Don't you cry, she's on your side.
And she promises to stay, just the girl she is.
(Hook)
Yes Tara spins red, white green, and blue.
On the air always there for you.
(Chorus 3x)
Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha
Om Tare
Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha
Om Tare
Om Tare Tuttare Ture Soha
