Lost It All 03:30
Have you ever loved someone And you forgot to love yourself Have you ever lost someone You feel you lost yourself I forgot how to live life on my own And I’m ashamed cuz I was so strong I’m saying prayers to empty skies and I Feel like a child, tears in my eyes I took a heavy fall Head over heals for you I slipped and lost it all Can’t find the pieces to my heart I hate that I wasted time All I have to show is a jaded mind and A heart that beat itself dry And I realize now I could do better, n’ better n’ And I know somehow I will move on I had my head in clouds My heart lost in a fog I had my life on pause I’m building castles in the skies and I Feel like a child, tears in my eyes I took a heavy fall Head over heals for you I slipped and lost it all Can’t find the pieces to my heart In love you might win oh I won once but I lost him When all is done I lost more than one I lost my way and I lost him I said, in love you might win oh I won once but I lost him When all is done I lost more than one I lost my way and I lost him I said, in love you might win oh I won once but I lost him When all is done I lost more than one I lost my way and I lost him I said, in love you might win oh I won once but I lost him When all is done I lost more than one I lost my way and I lost him (and I lost him)

It isn’t you, no That’s holding me down It’s that I… I’m feeling lost like I cant be found Oh, my heart aches and my mind is numb And everyday I pray I’m gonna overcome But in the mornings I cant even get myself out my bed Get these things out of my head It’s like I said over and over and over again Oh-oh-over and over I’m breakin’ my own heart And every time I loose another part (Its making life so hard) I keep on fa–llin’ down Cuz I can’t find how to stand my ground So what am I to do if I cant get a grip, huh What am I to do if I’m too afraid to slip and fall Isn’t that all that this is all about So why can’t I give myself a break And be ok with me makin’ mistakes Is it cuz I’m afraid of breaking my own heart Over and over and over again Oh-oh-over and over (and over again) I’m breakin’ my own heart And every time I loose my soul (Its making life so hard) I keep on fa–llin’ down Cuz I can’t find how to stand my ground Oh-oh-over and over I’m breakin’ my own heart And every time I loose my soul (Its making life so hard) I keep on fa–llin’ down And I can’t find how to stand my ground I’m breakin’ my own heart I’m tearin’ myself apart I can’t find ground, I can’t stand, I can’t stand I’m breakin’ my own heart.. My heart… My heart! Oh yeh-heh

Amen When I wait for you its like I’m waiting for the train I go insane wishin’ it would hurry up and Come and carry me Wherever you would be Waitin’ there for me I can almost see And when you come for me its like I’m let free My body’s feenin’, I can hardly breathe Makin’ love to you, makin’ love to you, makin’ love to you I wanna be with you… forever…. and ever… And ever…. Amen I wanna be with you… forever…. and ever… And ever…. Amen When the sun comes up you jump to leave my side And I lie there tryin’ to keep quiet I leave all I’m feeling inside aside as I Bite my lip to keep me from cryin’ But I’m dying cuz I’m wishin’ that you would stay Don’t run away so fast, just relax. I’ll make us some breakfast Whatever I can do! Just lemme cater to you I wanna be with you… forever…. and ever… And ever…. Amen I wanna be with you… forever…. and ever… And ever…. Amen I wanna be with you… forever…. and ever… And ever…. Amen I wanna be with you… forever…. and ever… And ever…. Amen

about

In listening through the songs of “Untouched”, you are witnessing Rebecca Kingsley in actual motion as she is finding her way, her sound, her voice.  She assumed the role of the artist, writer, bandleader, arranger, producer and executive producer in the making of her first ever album collective.  Every step and component of this project she dealt with hands on.  But she never could have made it happen had it not been for the many other hands on deck. 
 
Following her graduation from college, Kingsley launched a Kickstarter project and- with the help of family, friends and fans- gathered enough money to take charge of her own production processes.  She spent the next six months exploring new sounds and building the album from the ground up, all with the unburdened freedom to assert her creativity and individuality.  The project features an exceptional group of musicians and collaborators including R&B legend, Bernard "Pretty" Purdie and 3-time Grammy Award-winning recording artist, Wyclef Jean.
 
Miss Kingsley named this album “Untouched” upon its completion June 1st, 2012 because it was something she took entirely into her own hands.  But when its release was put on hold as she pursued the making of a second, very different project, this title innocently took on further meaning as the album was left “Untouched” for more than a year. 
 
While all of the songs on the album are soulful fusions of Jazz and R&B with some organic hip-hop textures, the bonus track on "Untouched" is a Bachata cover of the classic R&B standard, "Killing Me Softly". Rebecca's music video for "Killing Me Softly" became a hit on YouTube.
