Faithless

Artiestinformatie

Land	Verenigd Koninkrijk

Faithless is een Britse Dance-act bestaande uit Sister Bliss, Rollo en Maxi Jazz, opgericht in 1995. Het eerste album Reverence dat ze in 1996 uitbrengen is meteen een succes. Salva Mea (Save Me) en Insomnia weten de Top 40 te halen, en groeien uit tot klassiekers in hun genre. Beide singles komen zelfs tot twee keer toe in de Top 40 terecht, in een iets andere edit weliswaar.

Hun tweede album Sunday 8PM uit 1998 levert Faithless hun eerste en enige nummer 1-hit op: God Is A DJ voert in september dat jaar één week de Top 40 aan.

We Come One, van het derde album Outrospective, haalt in de zomer van 2001 net niet de nummer 1-positie, en blijft steken op nummer 2.

In 2004 is I Want More de (voorlopig) laatste hit voor Faithless.

Rollo komt uit een muzikale familie: zijn jongere zusje Dido scoort tussen 2001 en 2007 ook zeven hits in de Top 40.

Maxi Jazz overleed op 24 december 2022 op 65-jarige leeftijd in zijn slaap.

Songtekst

Packing your bags like people in the movies do,
All severe, and not saying a word,
And I'm sitting down here just watching you,
And I'm thinking:
Where has all the love gone?
Where's the love gone to?

Don't leave,
You got me hurting,
Don't leave
You know it's never been easy to love someone like me,
Oh, don't leave.

Hanging with friends like we used to do,
I didn't know anything was wrong,
And last night while I was thinking it through,
Trying to find who am I and what do you need me to do?
Don't leave.

There's a record you used to play,
There's Joni singing 'best to be without you',
And I know just what she's saying: Help me, I'm falling,
Where did all the love go?
Where's the love gone to?

Don't leave.
You got me hurting,
Don't leave.
You know it's never been easy to love someone like me,
Oh, don't leave.

Where did all the love go?
Where's the love gone to?
Don't leave.

I would fly around the world, give you what you're giving me,
I should have dressed you up in pearls,
Find that silk to touch your skin,
Don't know how to write a love song,

But Don't leave.
You got me hurting,
Don't leave.
You know it's never been easy to love someone like me,

Don't leave
Don't leave
Don't leave
Don't leave
