I never heard of her before until now but I really like her music. I can totally hear Mariah's We Belong Together in this song. Mariah picked a great song to sample from.
Renee is simply queen if soul n can't compare her too anyone Like a library of music knowledge we have just lost one of the greatest music book ever written that can't be replaced So in the mean time I'll keep you alive through me churr
This song makes me think of all the people who wanna be sneaky, stare, and whisper.. instead of saying shit to my face.. this song just reminds me, "let' em keep starin' and whisperin'".. it's just fuel for me to keep going and doing better. ♥️
I can remember hearing this song on the radio when I was only 7 years old in the late 70s. After all these years I didn’t even know the name of the song or the person who sang it but I only remembered the tune of the song that would play in my head every time I would think of it until finally today I couldn’t believe that sadly today in my lounge room watching the news on my big screen tv, It was announced that Renee Geyer who sang this song had sadly passed away with tears in my eyes. This song brings back a lot of my childhood memories of my mum, dad and my 3 sisters living with my great grandparents until we got our own home. I remember when my great pop was desperately looking for his lost cattle dog Ginger, missing for a week until he found him dead killed by dingoes. When pop came home to tell us the sad news I was so sad to hear the bad news then this song came on my great grandparents old radio. Every time this song would pop in my head I would think of Ginger our loving cattle dog who was our protector who would watch over us playing out on my great grandparents farm. Now 2023 I can finally listen by putting all the pieces together to listen to this beautiful song on RU-vid with tears 😢
Still have the original vinyl album. I'm word perfect having listened to it over and over; love sick teen that I was. The first cut is the deepest and I was cut pretty deep.
They just stare and whisper .. they did when I was young and beautiful ( modest too) with a baby from an abusive marriage; ; back then you were a scarlet woman if you were on your own with a baby !! how times have changed, love Renee and this song in particular.
Beautiful song...not sure I'd agree that Mariah "sampled" this though. I can actually hear a lot of songs in this...notably from Diana Ross ("Ain't No Mountain" and "I Thought It Took A Little Time"). A lot of songs out there have a similar chord progression to this, so it's hard to say anyone took it from anyone else...
I don’t know what’s not clear about it…ain’t no mountain and I thought may have similarities…..but we belong together is practically identical. Maybe you have to listen a little closer
They just stare and whisper Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm Everybody's talkin' Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm Everybody's talkin' They just stare and whisper wherever I go They just stare and whisper, now everyone knows That the dream I thought I had found Has come tumbl'in' down What seemed more perfect than the future that we pla-anned Walking proudly by your side I could not see, you-ou were deceivin' me How could I be so blind to all the reasons why They just stare and whisper wherever I go They just stare and whisper-er-er, now everyone knows That the dream I thought I had found Has come tumbl'in' dow-own I found her picture that you safely tucked away-ay-ay There was no need to explai-ain or to question you It was written clearly o-on your face That you love her more-ore and oh-oh They just stare and whisper wherever I go They just stare-are and whisper-er, now everyone knows That the dream I thought I had found Has come tumbl'in' dow-ow-own Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh... Ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh... (Oh-oh-oh-oh) They just stare-are and whisper-er wherever I go They just stare-are and whisper-er, now everyone knows They just stare-are and whisper wherever I go (I feel like a fool) They just stare and whisper-er, now everyone knows Source: LyricFind
