themed week // Seal, Kiss From A Rose

Seal is a British soul singer, who's career started around 1989 and who's known for songs like Secret, Crazy or Love's Divine.

Along his career, Seal has released eight studio albums - Seal in 1991, Seal (aka Seal II) in 1994, Human Being in 1998, Seal IV in 2003, System in 2007, Soul in 2008, Commitment in 2010 and Soul 2 in 2011.
Besides several live and compilation records.

Kiss From A Rose was initially released as single in 1994 but later, in 1995, re-released and included on the Batman Forever movie soundtrack. A year after, on the 38th Grammy Awards he won the awards for Record of the Year, Song of the Year with Kiss From A Rose and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

Kiss From A Rose is a really iconic song. Personally, I think this song works a bit like a therapy, a lovely approach to this relationship and appreciation with someone we honestly love.
In a very romantic way, Seal seems to be praising his lover showing off her greatness, beauty, kindness and grace - reasons why I find this song so full of love and romance.

"There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny."

I so love this song by Seal!
It's not very known and I can't find it on youtube so, I took the chance and made a video with the lyrics - which are magical! - note: youtube and WMG are a badass  because blocked my video, which was totally inoffensive and only to share the amazing lyrics and music.

Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel, best known as Seal is an amazing british artist married with Heidi Klum for several years now, in common they have 4 children, the first one was from Klum's relationship with Flavio Briatore (Renault Formula One team director) and Seal adopted officially in 2009.
