Wow if it's even possible Lauren's voice has gotten even better and with a sincerity she is often criticised for not having as much of as other singers! Adore this song :D
Fantastic lyrics and sung beautifully by the lovely Lauren Samuels and Louise Dearman, good luck with the musical, I hope to get to the Curve to see it :)
Ellie: A murmur on the hillside, a whisper through the trees A message someone’s sending, a secret on the breeze A voice that’s full of magic, a voice I’ve never heard. A feeling, no, a knowing, I know it sounds absurd. A conversation in the air, A story carried by the Sea. A strange and unfamiliar language That knows, yes it knows, You’re coming back to me. My boy, you see, there’s a knowing inside of me. A growing sense that soon you’ll return. My boy, you see, there’s a voice here that’s guiding me. My choice to wait, to listen & learn. Makes no sense, don’t ask why, Can’t explain, can’t even try. I just know it’s true. And when you do, I’ll be waiting, Be waiting for you. Mrs. D: People passing by can’t hear it, too busy rushing on. Frowning, saying softly ‘Ellie, listen now, your boy has gone.’ But lately she’s heard better stories: Fairies whispering in her ear, Singing songs that lift her heart. She knows, yes she knows, That soon, you’ll be near. Now boy, it’s true, feel the knowing inside of you. A growing sense that soon you’ll return. Now boy, it’s true, there’s a voice here that’s guiding you. Your choice to wait, to listen & learn. Makes no sense, don’t ask why, Can’t explain, can’t even try, But you know it’s true. And when you do, she’ll be waiting, Be waiting for you. Ellie: The summer night seems quiet, The truth is that’s a lie. The whole world’s passing on The news that you’re nearby. Both: The Sea, the Stars, the Moonlight, The Wind, the Trees, the Birds, Humming, chanting, singing, shouting, Can’t you hear their magic words’ Ellie: My boy, you see, There’s a knowing inside of me. A growing sense. That soon you’ll return My boy, you see, There’s a voice here that’s guiding me. My choice to wait, To listen & learn. Mrs. D: My boy, you’ll see, There’s a knowing, A growing sense, Soon you’ll return. My boy, you’ll see, There’s a voice here, Her choice to wait, Listen & learn. Both: Makes no sense, don’t ask why, Can’t explain, can’t even try. Ellie: I just know it’s true. I’ll be waiting, Be waiting for Mrs. D: And when you do Waiting Both: A murmur, a whisper, a secret, A feeling that’s growing, a knowing. Makes no sense, don’t ask why, Can’t explain, can’t even try, Ellie: I just know it’s true. I’ll be waiting, Be waiting for you. I’ll be waiting for you. Mrs. D: And when you do, Waiting, For you, For you.
I love this song so much - my current addiction! Both Lauren and Louise sound amazing and it's such a beautiful song. I wish I could see the show but don't live close enough :( xx
There are some good press reviews too though. Not trying to criticise your opinion though, I respect that you may not like it. I know I can't comment since I haven't seen it, but there are both good and bad reviews I guess - but it's not going to be something for everyone - no musical IS. xx
We see a LOT of theatre (30+ professional productions a year) and always try to judge them on their merit .I have made some positive comments on the show which mainly revolved around set, costume and some of the performances. All I can say is that we had to talk someone we knew to go back in for the second act as they wanted to leave. 4 people sat in front of us didn't come back for Act 2.....
I did a cover of this song on my guitar that I posted to my TH-cam channel. I worked the chords out by ear and I know they're not exactly correct, but if you want, I could record just the guitar part for you? Let me know :)
I've actually already seen your cover since I found it while uploading mine - but really you have a better voice for this song than me; I just loved it so much that I had to sing it anyway! But, even though I was not the one who posted originally about an instrumental, I would be really interested in that if you are really happy to do it? I was thinking of trying to re-record my cover since I know the song a lot better now :) xx
i remember when this came out, and it’s still just as beautiful now ✨
I love the way Louise watches her. it's beautiful. and the song is lovely and the vocals and harmonies is exquisite just stunning
I am amazed to see this as I thought it went bust 6 years ago
It is love to hear it again
Heard them sing this at the 5th Birthday Gala at Curve yesterday, beautiful song and they sound AMAZING together!!
Great song, superbly sung! Louise & Lauren are the best!!
Wow if it's even possible Lauren's voice has gotten even better and with a sincerity she is often criticised for not having as much of as other singers! Adore this song :D

Ellie:
A murmur on the hillside, a whisper through the trees
A message someone’s sending, a secret on the breeze
A voice that’s full of magic, a voice I’ve never heard.
A feeling, no, a knowing, I know it sounds absurd.
A conversation in the air,
A story carried by the Sea.
A strange and unfamiliar language
That knows, yes it knows,
You’re coming back to me.
My boy, you see, there’s a knowing inside of me.
A growing sense that soon you’ll return.
My boy, you see, there’s a voice here that’s guiding me.
My choice to wait, to listen & learn.
Makes no sense, don’t ask why,
Can’t explain, can’t even try.
I just know it’s true.
And when you do, I’ll be waiting,
Be waiting for you.
Mrs. D:
People passing by can’t hear it, too busy rushing on.
Frowning, saying softly ‘Ellie, listen now, your boy has gone.’
But lately she’s heard better stories:
Fairies whispering in her ear,
Singing songs that lift her heart.
She knows, yes she knows,
That soon, you’ll be near.
Now boy, it’s true, feel the knowing inside of you.
A growing sense that soon you’ll return.
Now boy, it’s true, there’s a voice here that’s guiding you.
Your choice to wait, to listen & learn.
Makes no sense, don’t ask why,
Can’t explain, can’t even try,
But you know it’s true.
And when you do, she’ll be waiting,
Be waiting for you.
Ellie:
The summer night seems quiet,
The truth is that’s a lie.
The whole world’s passing on
The news that you’re nearby.
Both:
The Sea, the Stars, the Moonlight,
The Wind, the Trees, the Birds,
Humming, chanting, singing, shouting,
Can’t you hear their magic words’
Ellie:
My boy, you see,
There’s a knowing inside of me.
A growing sense.
That soon you’ll return
My boy, you see,
There’s a voice here that’s guiding me.
My choice to wait,
To listen & learn.
Mrs. D:
My boy, you’ll see,
There’s a knowing,
A growing sense,
Soon you’ll return.
My boy, you’ll see,
There’s a voice here,
Her choice to wait,
Listen & learn.
Both:
Makes no sense, don’t ask why,
Can’t explain, can’t even try.
Ellie:
I just know it’s true.
I’ll be waiting,
Be waiting for
Mrs. D:
And when you do
Waiting
Both:
A murmur, a whisper, a secret,
A feeling that’s growing, a knowing.
Makes no sense, don’t ask why,
Can’t explain, can’t even try,
Ellie:
I just know it’s true.
I’ll be waiting,
Be waiting for you.
I’ll be waiting for you.
Mrs. D:
And when you do,
Waiting,
For you,
For you.
Really looking forward to this, its been a long time coming!!!! xx
Like the song, once its orchestrated im sure that it will have a great emotional pull! honestly surprised a rehearsal track would be released.
I love this song so much - my current addiction! Both Lauren and Louise sound amazing and it's such a beautiful song. I wish I could see the show but don't live close enough :(

You're missing nothing in my opinion. This was as good as it got........
bluetoothpick Really? That's the first negative review I've heard for this show.
xx
The press aren't loving it - www.leicestermercury.co.uk/Review-Water-Babies-Curve-Leicester/story-21042225-detail/story.html

This is awesome!
I wish they release the soundtrack
Amazing! Does anyone know where I will be able to get the sheet music for this song?
Still can’t believe this never made it to the West End….such a terrible shame
Has anyone got a backing track for this? or know where to get one?
You can make (an imperfect) one on Audacity - that's what I did :)

Kate Riley That would be amazing! :) I love your cover :) xx
***** I definitely do not mind doing it. I'll probably record and upload it sometime next week. If you do another cover, I'd love to hear it :)
It's good.... But Louise staring at Lauren at the start is so creepy
