"The One I Need" - Amber's new song!

[Tarafied4Life]

Hopefully this hasn't already been posted - apologies if it has!

Amber's released a single with James Saez called "The One I Need" - it's a really good song! It's available on iTunes now, and there's a slightly lower-quality version available on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQyv6ztdV7A

Thank you *so* much for sharing this!

It's awesome!! She has such a sweet voice!

Just bought it on itunes!

Amber again proving two things with this song:

One, she has a lovely and sensual voice, sexy without needing to be overtly sexual or provocative. Two, she really needs to do an album.

I agree!

Oh wow, what an awesome song. Different from what I expected after seeing the title, thought it may be more along the lines of 'Under Your Spell'. But will it get released as a single, we don't all have download facilities

[Laragh]

There's a higher quality version on youtube now too

Wow, I was hoping this would get a release - it's from the Killing Jar for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Amber is the only reason to bother watching that film but this song is a lovely bonus.

Can't get over how much like Madonna, circa Ray of Light, she sounds on this. Swoon.

Now there's a comparision I wouldn't have thought of, but so true!

I have to admit, if I didn't already know and had heard this song blind, I wouldn't have thought it was Amber. But after listening to it obsessively for the past week, I can totally pick up on the the little nuances that makes her voice so sweet.

[BeMyDeputy]

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

Can I have sex with her voice?

[Gara2077]

Thanks for posting this. I've been listening to the song for the last couple of days. Does anybody know if there's a transcription of the lyrics somewhere? English is not my first language and while I get almost everything there are a few things that I don't understand. Thanks.

[still waters run deep]

Excellent.

sometimes the 'actress turns singer' thing just does'nt work... but once in a while it just comes good.

The last album I listened to in this vein was Minnie Driver's and she made a good fist of it, she was good live too.

This might be another one to keep an eye open for.

Thanks for posting this.

I LOVE her voice. I really hope she comes out with an album.

[bug2luvu]

I am happy to hear her voice in this tone and style, we need more female singers with deep voices. Hope she does more

[Redsbird]

I'm a little behind on things, but just listened to this. If I didn't know it was Amber, I'd think it was Aimee Mann (as someone on YouTube noted).
VERY NICE!

Another one of those who have fallen behind... only just found this song and it's awesomesauce. Plus, from the lyrics I *was* able to make out, it fits my life pretty much right now. Guessing it will be on repeat for a while.

As for the lyrics, this is what I've been able to get from it (and no, English isn't my native language so please, add, correct etc. lyrics still aren't available anywhere online...)

With every step I take a breath and hope that I start running
but my heart can't leave the ground
If I could see how things could be beyond this life that I'm living
I might finally be found

stuck in my bed
thoughts in my head of all the dreams I followed
... of yesterday
If I could crack the glass and leave this broken life I borrowed
maybe I could get away

and find a way to heal this sorrow
and time to let me breathe
I'm waiting for a new tomorrow
when I can finally be
the one I need

don't know what's inside of me
but I wanna find out
my only ... I need

I'm trying to fly and not to cry and crawl and fall down through it
seems to be there all the time
and there's some things I won't say and I won't do and I won't follow
but it's time to cross that line

and find a way to heal this sorrow
and time to let me breathe
I'm waiting for a new tomorrow
when I can finally be
the one I need

the only one I need

Gotta find a way to change my luck,
change my fate,
you know it's not too late
not to run and not to hide
and find the truth inside of me

I'll find a way to heal this sorrow
and make the time to breathe
I'm building up my own tomorrow
where I'm the only one
the one I need

[Erykae]

Wow this song is great! And perfect for her voice! Sweeeet

[LouCy]

Just heard this song, (I know I know, have I been living under a rock?!)

Fell in love with it straight away and not in a biased I-heart-Amber-Benson way
It's honestly great, and figured I'd reply to this to bump it up a little

[drlloyd11]

How did I not know about this? I mean, me of all people!

[Pavlov'sBell]

I think I've fallen in love with Amber's voice all over again
