1983 in Neuseeland geboren, lernte Brooke Fraser zunächst Klavierspielen, bevor sie sich mit 16 Jahren selbst das Gitarrenspiel beibrachte. Mit 18 Jahren hatte sie ihren ersten Plattenvertrag in der Tasche. Bereits zwei Jahre später gelang der Pop-Folk-Sängerin der Durchbruch mit dem Song „Better“. Drei Alben folgten, darunter 2010 „Flags“, dessen Auskopplung „Something in the Water“ auch in Deutschland die Charts eroberte.
Do-do do-do-do do-do-do-do-do
I wear a demeanor made of bright pretty things
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears
Birds singing on my shoulder in harmony it seems
How they sing, how they sing, how they sing
Give me nights of solitude, red wine, just a glass or two,
Reclined in a hammock on a balmy evening
I’ll pretend that it’s no thing that’s skipping my heart when I think
Of you thinking of me, babe, I’m crazy over you
Aaah Aaah Aaah
there’s something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
There’s something in the water that makes me love you like
I’ve got halo’s made of summer, ribbons made of spring
What she wears, what she wears, what she wears
I got crowns of words a woven each one a song to sing
Oh I sing, oh I sing, oh I sing
Give me long days in the sun,
Preludes to the nights to come
Previews of the mornings laying in all lazy
Give me something fun to do, like a life of loving you
Kiss me quick now baby I’m still crazy over you
Aaah Aaah Aaah
There’s something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
There’s something in the water that makes me love you like I do
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Oooh oooh oooh
Give me nights of solitude
Red wine just a glass or two
Give me something fun to do
Aaah Aaah Aaah
There’s something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
There’s something in the water that makes me love you like I do
Aaah Aaah Aaah
There’s something in the water, something in the water
Aaah Aaah Aaah
There’s something in the water that makes me love you like I
