The Backstreet Boys released this CD in 1997...

Four ugly guys plus a cute blonde arrive on MTV with the unforgettable song "Everybody"... an extraordinary video that dropped you into a 90s horror atmosphere... the song in question is perfect for group dances for athletic seniors... another song that became quite trendy was "As Long As You Want Me" (it’s as long as you want me), leaving aside the borderline pornographic title, we must say this song made its mark among the 90s youth, with their Magnums and Pickwick sweatshirts... who would put on their Walkman on the bus... coming back from school with their Invicta backpack... happy to go home and watch a nice episode of Beverly Hills... the other songs were just made to fill the CD... but what can you do... the Backstreet Boys were terrible... uglier one than the other... AJ the semi-bald one with protruding ears and black nail polish... Howie the intellectual of the group who appeared in videos only in sad moments and when the girl dumped the guy... Kevin or whatever his name was with the goatee that I always thought was 30 years old... the blonde who still occasionally vegetates on MTV with some ridiculous singles... and the singer who is a mix between a dwarf and a werewolf (also known as Jaw or Jawline)... the Backstreet Boys still sold many CDs just like the previous Take That... yesterday as today is the era of commercial music... music made just to sell CDs... but who hasn't sung a Backstreet Boys song... unfortunately, we live in a period where consumerism and banality far outweigh artistic value.... but what can you do...

Ah, one last thing... do you think that the various bands like Babyshambles, Strokes, White Stripes are not a regurgitation of the 90s version... "rockstars who love to destroy their lives"... it's all the same story, it's all the same sauce, but they want us to look at it from a different perspective... well, I’m not buying it... you better hold on tight to your old CDs... stuff like that won't be seen again... bellaaaaaaa.... one kiss for my sexy teen... Ilaria girl of my dream... sexy teen street life... hey Emiliano, how’s it going in there huh??

Tracklist Lyrics and Videos

01   Everybody (03:47)

02   As Long as You Love Me (03:44)

As long as you love me

Although loneliness has always been a friend of mine
I'm leaving my life in your hands
People say I'm crazy and that I am blind
Risking it all in a glance
And how you got me blind is still a mystery
I can't get you out of my head
Don't care what is written in your history
As long as you're here with me

I don't care who you are
Where you're from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you're from
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me

Every little thing that you have said and done
Feels like it's deep within me
Doesn't really matter if you're on the run
It seems like we're meant to be

I don't care who you are(who you are)
Where you're from(where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me(I don't know)
Who you are(who you are)
Where you're from(where you're from)
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me

As long as you love me

I've tried to hide it so that no one knows
But I guess it shows
When you look into my eyes
What you did and where you're comin' from
I don't care, as long as you love me, baby.

I don't care who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
What you did
As long as you love me (you love me)
(repeat to fade)
who you are (who you are)
Where you're from (where you're from)
Don't care what you did
As long as you love me (you love me)

Who you are(who you are)
Where you're from
what did you did
as long as you love me

who you are
where you're from(where you're from)
as long as you love me

who you are as long as you love me
What you did (I don't care)
as long as you love me

03   All I Have to Give (04:37)

I don't know what he does to make you cry,
but I'll be there to make you smile.
I don't have a fancy car,
to get to you I'd walk a thousand miles.
I don't care if he buy you nice things
Does his gifts come from the heart? - I don't know...
But if you were my girl...
I'd make it so we'd never be apart.

Chorus:
But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I can live
I wish I could give the world to you... but
Love is all I have to give.

When you talk - does it seem like he's not
even listening to a word you say?
That's okay babe, just tell me your problems
I'll try my best to kiss them all away...
Does he leave when you need him the most?
Does his friends get all your time?
Baby please... I'm on my knees
praying for the day that you'll be mine!!

Chorus

Bridge:
To you...Hey Girl,I don't want you to cry no more - inside
All the money in the world could never add up to all the love
that I have inside ... I Love You baby

Bass break:
And I will give it to you
All I can give,all I can give
Everything I have is for you
But love is all I have to give

Drum break & Chorus 3x and out:
But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I can live
I wish I could give the world to you ... but
Love is all I have to give...to you.

05   That's the Way I Like It (03:41)

06   10,000 Promises (04:05)

07   Like a Child (05:08)

08   Hey, Mr. DJ (04:28)

09   Set Adrift on Memory Bliss (03:33)

Dadadadadada Dadadadadada Dadadadadada dadadadada
(On memory's bliss of you)
Dadadadadada Dadadadadada Dadadadadada (oh) dadadadada

The candle plays the hour glass days go
And all I do is think of you
And wonder where you are at night
I remember everything
Every smile, even all the reasons why you say
I pushed you out of my mind

CHORUS:
Baby you send me,
baby you send me,
Set adrift on memory bliss of you
Baby you send me,
Set adrift on memory bliss

Destiny in everything
Reality has replaced you with
The biggest empty void I've ever had in life
I bet you say that I don't care
I bet you say that I don't even think of you
But God knows how wrong you are

Baby will you be there
Just give me time
To fix my life
baby will you be there when I open my eyes
After all the time I spent wishing

CHORUS

Sadness that overwhelmed me
My mind fights carelessly imagine
you are happy with your life right now , oh ...
I guess that's just the way it goes
Forever's gone
So now I must place you with all the things
That I could never have

Baby you send me, baby you send me,
baby you send me
Set adrift on memory bliss
Send me, you send me,
Come on now
I know this love is true
I know this love is true
