Gabriel Rene and Mei-Lwun Yee started experimenting with hip-hop back in 1989. They were soon joined by Gabriel's sister Gina Rene. With the addition of keyboardist Andy Caldwell, the band moved from a simple dance music perspective to experimental electronic music, delivering captivating vocals, deep house, and jungle/drum'n'bass with contemporary rhythm & blues, jazz, and funk influences. Named after the solstice, when the sun reaches the highest point in the sky, the group turned into Soulstice to symbolize the soul's highest point in the sky. In April 2001, OM Records released Soulstice's debut album, a 11-track trip-hop record called Illusion.

Illusion
*** Thanx a lot to Frank for these lyrics ***
Illusion Shut off to the world outside In order to look in Caught up in a battle This is where I've been Accepting negativity Not listening to truth I must return to lighter ways That I knew as a youth I used to move to Create change Realized and rearranged Believing in myself I'd see My dreams into reality All my life I felt confusion Black and white The colors of my Illusion Turned on to the world outside To free myself within Overcome this battle Heeding love again Since I want to feel then I know I have to live Got to move to create change Realize and rearrange Believing in myself I'll see My dreams into reality From the light The color fusion It's what works right Do you feel my Allusion Illusion Got to move to create change Realize and rearrange Believing in myself I'll see my dreams into reality All my life I felt confusion Black and white The colors of my Illusion illusion illusion illusion illusion
Fall Into You I've been losing leaving Fooling, deceiving I've been stealing, hiding Calling, crying I've been alone I'd rather be in love I'm gonna let it all go And fall into you I've been longing, searching Wanting, hurting I've been looking finding Forgetting, reminding I've been alone I'd rather be in love I'm gonna let it all go And fall into you Just want to let it all go Falling for you Falling into you Falling into you I've been living, learning Relieving, returning I've been talking, freeing Loving, being I've been alone I'd rather be in love I'm gonna let it all go and fall into you Just want to let it all go Falling for you Fall into you falling for you fall into
Colour I'm alone with you so far It doesn't matter where you are I want to wash up on your shore More beauty then i've seen before no secret lover Will ever take the place of you Colour me blue As you I want to see you yesterday The little things in your way It's in your eyes i realize The parallels of our disguise No single other Can understand my point of view Colour me blue as you Colour me blue As you With you now i've come to find That my love for you was blind Was it the depths of your sea That pulled me from you Or you from me I want to see you yesterday The little things in your way Your happiness and sorrow too They only come in shades of blue But no other colour Could give off quite a hue Colour me blue As you Colour me blue As you Colour me blue As you Colour me blue Lovely Looking back at my life i see The emptiness and pain that was inside of me My faded memory only reminds me How you helped put the past behind be You are the one like sun Beaming light rays into my eyes You are the like the sun Beaming light rays into my eyes I can't describe the way i feel The words escape me it so real But you're lovely in the best way Lovely like the rain on a summers day You wash away my pain in every way You came along and showed me that i made it And they say that love is never For the jaded I can't describe the way i feel The words escape me it's so real But you're lovely In the best way Because you're lovely so lovely In the best way So lovely in the best way You came along and showed me that i made it And they say that love is never for the jaded Andromeda You are the night And i am the day In the 17th hour we meet Whenever i desced in sunset There you are following My night so sweet With the scent of life you fill me I want to return this love For it's always spring when you're near Bringing the serenity of a pure white dove Yes you do with your love I am the moon You are the sun When daylight breaks soon darknesss will come It is in this cycle we become one I am you are me a reflection When looking i see myself You are the night and i am the day Veil the sky you body In a blanket of deep blue So i can uncover undress and complete you Wind As the winds blows my heart knows As the wind blows through the trees My heart is dstirring like the leaves Even as the rain falls from the sky Clouds fills my eyes and i wonder why Wonder in a sense of amazement and awe At how life begins It never seems to never to cease In it's educating reminding awakening us From the things that we think that we know As the wind blows My heart knows As the wind blows through the trees My heart is stirring like the leaves Even as fires flames burning bright I feel my soul is my guiding light I wonder in a sense of amusement and awe At how life evolves It never seems to never cease In it's elevating redefining awakening us From the things that we think that we know I thought i knew i thought i knew As the wind blows my heart knows As the wind blows through the trees My heart is stirring like the leaves The Reason You knew before i ever told you Descend the light on me baby Could not see through the darkness Through the darkness to the dawn I prayed that youd come along I felt before you even touched me Descend the light on you baby I can see right through the darkness Through the darkness to the dawn You showed me You helped me keep on You are the reason The reason It's true our story is unfolding The sunight on our faces we can see right through the darkness Through the darkness to the dawn Tomorrow a new day Will show me a new way Cause you are the reason that i am alive The reason the reason Leaving the darkness in the past Now that ive found love to last You're the reason So beautiful and full of bliss A little piece of happiness You're the reason You are the reason The reason the reason Not Alone If you want to see my soul where it's at It's gonna take a key To unlock the door inside of me Struggle i do with what is called sanity It's so hard it's so hard it's so hard to be me Sometimes I am not alone i am not alone I am not alone i am not alone I saw a face in the mirror but i realized It was my own Through the depth of the looking glass I saw somebody staring back at me Hey open up the door Battle i do with what is called vanity It's so hard it's so hard it's so hard to see Sometimes Oh and i know that you will always be there for me Suddenly subtly certainlly so Suddenly subtly suddenly I am not alnoei am not alone I am not alone I am not alone I Am Not Alone Tenderly The evening breeze caress the trees Tenderly The trembling tress embrace the breeze Tenderly Then you and i came wandering by And lost in sigh were we The shore was kissed by sea and mist Tenderly I can't forget when two hearts met Breathlessly Your arms opened wide And closed me in inside You took my lips you took my love So tenderly Then you and i came wandering by And lost in a sigh were we The shore was kissed by sea and mist Tenderly I can't forget when two hearts met breathlessly Your arms opened wide and closed me inside You took my lips you took my love So tenderly

Where Were You Where were you when I needed you so Where were you when the waves came crashing upon the shore Where were you when this kind of love I couldn't uphold Where were you when I couldn't take it anymore We shared a lifetime of love In those days see The fruits of love We're barely beginning Again and again I'd live as you had shown me to be Yet as fate changed you'ld act As if you didn't know me I thought family was supposed to stay close throughout the end I wanted to be your loved one not only your counseling friend And although you seemed happy I simply could not understand Where were you when I needed you so Where were you when the waves came crashing upon the shore Where were you when this kind of love I could'nt uphold Where were you when I couldn't take it anymore All I did want Was for someone to hold me So close that I'd feel Oh some security To ease my intermost pleas Tenderness who held the key Time as it passes Proves only that I've grown free Of the fears that we both shared when I was a just a little girl I found out that tears shed for pain are like rain it starts to fall where the earth absorbs water that nourishes it's deepest core Expressed emotion helps me to grow I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake But where were you when I needed you so Where were you when the waves came crashing upon the shore Where were you when my heart lay bleeding on the floor Where were you Now old regret Has started to flee Anger and tears No longer afflict me, yeah True humility Can only let you be Time as it passes Proves only That we're growing free Now our lives take a new meaning since we're changing what has past Though the hurt was strong and pain was felt love cannot be surpassed And it's true there's few who wont tarnish the pearls you do cast And I know that we both want to grow So here we are now I forgive you so Here we are now Let's let life's healing overflow Here we are now This is how I always wanted to be I need you so
