Billy Porter sings “You Gotta Be” ...

Call 1-855-637-4055 for our Psychic line as low as 66¢/min About Des’ree: Desirée Annette Weeks (born 30 November 1968), stage name Des’ree, is a British R&B recording artist who rose to popularity during the 1990s. She is well known for her hits: “Feel So High” (which were recorded two different music videos), “You Gotta Be“, “Life”, and “Kissing You” (from the soundtrack of the film William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet). Des’ree has not released any new material since 2003’s Dream Soldier. She currently lives in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Described by Stuart Elliott in The New York Times as “an infectiously sunny tune about the affirmative powers of self-confidence,” “You Gotta Be” according to Des’ree is, like all the songs on its parent album, “about having the inner strength to figure out who you are” with “You Gotta Be” specifically being “born out of me stopping myself and thinking everyday how you gotta be something. You have to be cool and calm in situation, and then you have to be bold and strong in another situation.” Des’ree drew inspiration for “You Gotta Be” from the Shakti Gawain book Creative Visualization which had abetted the singer’s recovery from a painful romantic breakup; “I’ve always been blindly optimistic, and that helped me rise from my melancholia,” explains Des’ree who it is said “swears by daily affirmations.” “You Gotta Be” was released several times in the UK: first in April 1994, then in 1995, and in 1999 in a remixed version because of its use in the 1999 Ford Focus advertising campaign and following the success of Des’ree‘s previous singles “Life” and “Kissing You”. The latter release of “You Gotta Be” charted in its highest position out of all three releases in the UK, peaking at #10. This version, entitled the “1999 Mix” was added to a re-issue of her third studio album Supernatural. The 1995 release peaked at #5 in the United States and is the most popular version of the song. The remixed version of the song was released in 1998 in Spain, and went to #1 there. lyrics: Listen as your day unfolds, challenge what the future holds Try and keep your head up to the sky Lovers, they may cause you tears Go ahead release your fears, stand up and be counted Don’t be ashamed to cry You gotta be You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together All I know, all I know, love will save the day Herald what your mother said Reading the books your father read Try to solve the puzzles in your own sweet time Some may have more cash than you Others take a different view, my oh my, heh, hey You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together All I know, all I know, love will save the day Don’t ask no questions, it goes on without you Leaving you behind if you can’t stand the pace The world keeps on spinning You can’t stop it, if you try to This time it’s danger staring you in the face Remember, listen as your day unfolds Challenge what the future holds Try and keep your head up to the sky Lovers, they may cause you tears Go ahead release your fears, my oh my heh, hey, hey You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together All I know, all I know, love will save the day You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold, you gotta be wiser You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough, you gotta be stronger You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm, you gotta stay together All I know, all I know, love will save the day Click here to return to positive music list Read the full article
