Live at Symphonica in Rosso
About the album
Live At Symphonica In Rosso is a 2014 double live album recorded during Anouk's Symphonica in Rosso concerts, following her successful Eurovision and Sad Singalong Songs period.
Backed by Guido's Orchestra, Anouk performed orchestral arrangements of songs from different parts of her catalogue, placing familiar material in a larger symphonic setting.
The release appeared as a double CD rather than a DVD; Anouk made clear at the time that no DVD version of the Symphonica in Rosso shows would be released.
The first part of the album leans strongly on material from Sad Singalong Songs, while the second part includes more transformed versions of older songs.
Songs such as Girl, Lost and Nobody's Wife were singled out for the way they changed within the orchestral setting.
The album also includes Nothing At All, performed with guest vocalist Trijntje Oosterhuis.

Rule nr. 2: that's for you
Rule nr. 3: when in doubt there's the door
Rule nr. 4: tell me more
No lies, no tricks of any kind
Be true, love art, show insight
And I will absolutely love you
Rule nr. 5: make sure God's on your side
Rule nr. 6: it will never be fixed in the mix
Rule nr. 7: leave no space in between
And here's nr. 8: just be real not a make believe
No lies, no tricks of any kind
Be true, love art, show insight
And I will absolutely love you
When shadows appear
Show me the power to shine
Travel the world all around
Laying our troubles down
No lies, no tricks of any kind
Be true, love art, show insight
And I will absolutely love you
Turns boys into men, it's awkward
The good life
A time to live and a time to die
A time to fall and a time to fight
The good life
Every word is just another lie
I wonder why I do even try
I'm wishing that someone was near me now
Letting me know I'm ok, that I'll survive
Take me back 10 years ago when I thought
I lived the dream my heart had been longing for
'Cause time does not forget what I was made for
So I follow the stars, without too many regrets
Tick tock so many changes
Going through all the stages
The good life
A time to hate, a time to love
Time makes me wait for God
The good life
Unknown future, it's scaring me
For now this is all that I can be
Instead of making a fast run
I'm tryin' to make this heart come undone
Take me back 10 years ago when I thought
I lived the dream my heart had been longing for
'Cause time does not forget what I was made for
So I follow the stars, without too many regrets
Time's ticking and it's crawling forward
It's the good life
How you come around is that guilt still growing
As you slowly fade away
You were standing tall but that's the past
As many other things they do not last
Though I had to step away step away
I'm wondering are you lonely
Ever since you walked away walked away
It's so clear
'Cause when you're in the shower all alone
That's when you fall down
Not able to stand up again
At night as you're turning down the sheets
That's when you fear your mind
When it's tryin' to go back in time
You don't even know how it all started
Still beggin' for my love now we have parted
Though I had to step away step away
I'm wondering are you lonely
Ever since you walked away
Walked away
It's so clear
'Cause when you're in the shower all alone
That's when you fall down
Not able to stand up again
At night as you're turning down the sheets
That's when you fear your mind
When it's tryin' to go back in time
I'm wondering are you lonely
Don't kill that man
He could be the one that brings you gifts for Christmas
Don't kill that man
Don't kill that man
He could be the one for free without the dullness
This could be great
Don't just let go
He might be the one to know
The way you should be loved
A few words are enough
To lighten up your days
When shadows fade away
But I'm not sure he's sane
No I'm not sure yet
Don't just let go
Don't kill that man
Don't kill that man
He could be the one to trust when you've been lied to
Don't kill him yet
Don't kill him yet
He could be the one you can turn your blind eye to
This is pure gold
Don't just let go
He could be that man who knows
The way you should be loved
A few words are enough
To lighten up your days
When shadows fade away
But I'm not sure he's sane
No I'm not sure yet
Don't just let go
He could be that man who knows
Clouds have taken all the light
I have no control
It seems my thoughts wonder all of the time
When I try to live life without you
Birds falling down the rooftops
Out of the sky like raindrops
No air, no pride
If being myself is what I do wrong
Than I would rather not be right
Hopes turned into fear
And with my one wing I can't fly with sunrise
Embrace my dreams tight
And that's why
Birds falling down the rooftops
Out of the sky like raindrops
No air, no pride
Birds
To a place without fear with no moonlight
All I need are trees and flowers and some sunlight
Where memories are being made
And where the old one dies
Where love ain't lost
Birds falling down the rooftops
Out of the sky like raindrops
No air, no pride
That's why birds don't fly
Every single word you say
It's the way your lips shake
When you're getting down and dirty baby
Did you ask me how I know
And why it's time for you to go
'Cause you should've known better
Before you were getting down and dirty baby
I know I ain't supposed to cry
But I can't keep it inside
Cheater
Thinking you could get away
But you don't know who you're dealing with
No you don't
I let you buy just a little time
So you could find a way to say
A little more time before I slam
In your face
So tired of the heartache and the
Lie awake
I know I ain't supposed to cry
But I can't keep it inside
Cheater
Thinking you could get away
But you don't know who you're dealing with
All the love we had is gone
You gave it to the other ones
You're never gonna find a love like mine
The way I'm getting down and dirty baby
Now you're crying on my phone
You should've done that months ago
And now it's time for me to get
Getting down and dirty baby
I know I ain't supposed to cry
But I can't keep it inside
Cheater
Thinking you could get away
But you don't know who you're dealing with
You did me wrong
You done me wrong
No you don't know who you're dealing with
Dirty boy
I can't tell you, you were standing in one place for way too long
What you got don't you know
Got baby
Well have you told your mom
That you won't be coming home
I can get you home now
You call me
Now we're all alone
You make me lose my cool
I can't deny it and I can't pretend
What's ours is what I discover
While I know that somebody else can see
Here we stand
I believe that we can make it through
Take me as I am it's up to you
Think it over now that you still can
Are you tough enough to be my man
Or will you still try to walk away anyway
Wait have you got my heart
Oh baby so take it in
Boy you look so fine baby how about upstairs
You shot me
Right here in my heart
That's how long
Your woman
With someone else the better it gets boys
Do you have a purpose in your life
Besides cheating on the wife
For fuck sake show some sense
Hail to all you boys and girls
Hail to all what I've seen
Hail hail this modern world
Hail hail this modern world
These days adoption is a hot thing
You can get a child for nearly nothing
You take them home to a nanny and
Buy off your guilt with toys and candy
But all that money that you work for girls
There's only one thing they can't fix
And I won't let you be misled
And that's the hole in your head
Can't do nothing 'bout that
Hail hail modern world
Hail to all you boys and girls
Hail hail to all what I've seen
Hail hail this modern world
Hail hail this modern world
Crazy way to get your kicks
Stop the silicone in your lips
If you fight me I will turn your back
They suck the fat right off your back
Make up your mind about your girls
They can puff 'm up so no bra will fit girls
There's only one thing they can't fix
And I won't let you be misled
And that's the hole in your head
Can't do nothing 'bout that
Hail hail modern world
Hail to all you boys and girls
Hail hail to all what I've seen
Hail hail this modern world
Hail hail this modern world
Yeah yeah yeah...
You tell her that she's beautiful
And put her on a pedestal
But as you Google triple x
Imagination kicks in
would you die for me?
If I ever lose my mind,
would you fight for me?
Cause lately you, haven't been around.
And I am still waiting babe, to be found.
Do any of you ladies ever get tired.
Tired of being strong.
Still trying to make things right.
When he's gone way too long.
No I won't play that game no more.
Cause you will never know how bad it hurts.
When my heart is shattered to pieces, on the floor.
I won't play that game no more.
No more tears on my pillowcase
Only one step away from the trouble and mess you've made.
You've made, yeah.
The night's so cold.
And I am all alone.
Cause I have been way too long, on my own.
Probably you, couldn't care less.
If I wouldn't suffocate from loneliness.
Do any of you ladies ever get tired.
Not knowing where you stand.
Still you can help yourselves
From loving that man
I won't play that game no more.
Cause you will never know how bad it hurts.
When my love is shattered to pieces, on the floor.
I won't play that game no more.
No more tears on my pillowcase.
Only one step away from the trouble and mess you've made.
Thinking about all your lies.
Cause I walked away from you.
Leaving me here to cry.
There's nothing left to do.
So get out of my life, I won't make up my mind.
No I won't play that game no more.
Cause you will never know how bad it hurts.
When my heart is shattered to pieces, on the floor.
I won't play that game no more.
No more tears on my pillowcase
Only one step away from the trouble and mess you've made.
That you made babe, you made babe.
I won't play that game no more
No more No more babe
No more
No
And imagine you're here
Did it all seem so hopeless
Given the chance
I would ask
Forgive me
I didn't do a thing to make you stay
I didn't say a word to make you stay
If I would have known
Could I have tried to make it easier
But I didn't do a thing
Or say a word
One word
And I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams
Now you're, you're a star in heaven
My thoughts unsaid
Stuck in my head
And it all feels so useless
Never forget to give all I have
Forgive me
I couldn't do a thing to make you stay
And I couldn't say a word to make you stay
If I could have known
Could I have tried to make it easier
But I couldn't do a thing
Or say a word
One word
And I don't know why you're gone, now you're gone
No beautiful goodbye
You will never leave my mind
And it turns out to be so much different than our dreams
Now you're, you're a star in heaven
Living a lie I couldn't go on another day
I must have been way too busy adoring you
It's over
I hear your hello holding up my phone and I can't recall
That I ever felt this sad in my whole life before
My blood runs cold and honestly
I feel lonely baby
So lonely baby
These days are just way too bright
I need a reason to believe
'Cause I keep telling myself that we are still in love
Even though you took off and broke my heart
Letting me know that I ain't the one you're looking for
Why do I keep telling myself that we are still in love
Even though you took off and broke my heart
Letting me know that I ain't the one you need
Talking all night to a filthy sky and some rain
I'm trying to find just little bits of yesterday
I guess you never knew how much I needed you
It's over
My hand on the mic
Covering my eyes so I can't see
That some things ain't just always what they seem to be
Things in my mind keep flashing by
What's going on
What the hell is going on
These days are just way too bright
I need a reason to believe
'Cause I keep telling myself that we are still in love
Even though you took off and broke my heart
Letting me know that I ain't the one you're looking for
Why do I keep telling myself that we are still in love
Even though you took off and broke my heart
Letting me know that I ain't the one you need
We're living a lie
This is what we're gonna do
Let me put my arms around you once more
There's nothing left here to waste
Just walk away just a little bit closer
Break through to the other side
I keep on wondering if you are gonna let me know
There was nothing at the time I could say was sad
What do you say when it's all over
What do you do when it's not with you
What do you say when you're about to give the word
Don't want no flowers don't need love and understanding
What do you say it's about you
The troubles in your mind
What do you do when you get lost inside your soul
What do you do when love's gone
Where do you go when it's all over
It was so hard when I watched you falling down
But now it was time for you to walk alone
And you're feeling that you wouldn't need a friend
And you've gone so far you know you can't go on
Take my hand I will blow your fears away
Back in to the other side
For bitter or worse I knew you better than anyone else you
And I'll be by your side
What do you say when it's all over
What do you do when it's not with you anymore
What do you say when you get lost inside your soul
What do we do when all the love's gone
Where do you go when it's all over
Scream it all because reality
That this is where it ends for you and me
The world will find a way on this
I love you and all your mistakes
If I could do it all again
Wouldn't change a single thing
What do you say when it's all over
What do you do when it's not with you anymore
What do you say when you get lost inside your soul
What do you do when all the love's gone
Where do you go when it's all over
Filled with lies
When you got lost
I got so lonely
Give it time
Don't move on
Let it dry
Time's passin' by so slowly
Borderline face
I'll keep it straight
No one knows
I only have dark days
New love no use
Pain in my face
Pretending as always
And these are the bright days
In my dreams I'll make you want me
One more time the sun will shine
They won't love you like I loved you
You still make me cry
Grief makes numb
Every day
How does it come
I get lost on a speedway
No joy or delight
Just put me to bed so I can shut my eyes tight
(Did you love him like you know you should)
I was in it for the long run
(Will you ever feel the same again)
There's no turning back 'cause my heart is long gone
(Did you love him like you know you should)
There's no turning back
(Will you ever feel the same again)
In my dreams I'll make you want me
One more time the sun will shine
They won't love you like I loved you
You still make me cry
Without you even knowing
Three days in a row
I saw the time just like sunshine
Just be prepared for a hell of a ride
Don't ever doubt 'bout the way you feel
For heaven sake boy I'm beggin' you
I've been loving you
Without you even knowing
Three days in a row
And I haven't seen you since that day
Baby boy, when I saw you the first time
I knew right away that you and I
Were connected in a way
That I could never express in my own words
I just knew at the time
Baby boy it felt so wrong
I belonged to you but it all felt so wrong
I did the things that my heart gave in
Baby I'm telling you
I've been loving you
Without you even knowing
Three days in a row
And I haven't seen you since that day
With loads on our minds
A few good-byes
We could never have given it a real try
But you were in a way in my soul
And at this point of my life I just know
If you let me go baby let it be
Baby believe me
I've been loving you
Without you even knowing
Three days in a row
And I haven't seen you since that day
I'm back babe
But you've got the nerve to make a face
Although I'm strugglin'
You can't tell because I keep it caged
We are together
But I feel you're pushing me aside
The thought won't even cross your mind
You need to take a good look at yourself
'Cause I'm about to close up shop
If you need a servant go find someone else
It's time to step up
'Cause if I go
I'll be taking more with me than you would care to lose
Or you'll see me walk away
Time is up step it up
Just so you know
Nothing you can do could make me turn around again
Your time is up step it up
Do you'll see me walk away
It's time to step up
Yeah time to step it up
Time to step it up
I said it's time babe to step it up
Step it up
If we're together
Why do you feel the need to
Why you're taking chances boy
Ooh my mind gets blocked girl
Speak up 'cause my jaw is locked
Which is good, good for me girl
It hides like a warning sign
But I'm too blind to see
Speak up, yes I'm coming down
with an ice-cold fever
Still got my hands they're clinging
So I just keep going
I don't know where I belong
Could I belong to you
No I don't know where I belong
Could I belong
Girl girl girl get it while it's hot they say
You see I'm burning up here
I want to but I just can't stop
And it hurts, it hurts like hell girl
You turn me inside out and upside down
you got me head over heels
I'm stuck yes I'm coming down
with an ice-cold fever
Still got my hands they're clinging
So I just keep going
I don't know where I belong
Could I belong to you
No, I don't know where I belong
Could I belong
I wonder if you ever think of me
It's been 9 years since that kiss
I can't help but reminisce
Hey Michel do you remember
We walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping that they all could see
That we belonged together you and me
against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it
wasn't meant to be
Now it's you and her I see
You were my first and worst love
And so it only could go wrong
But ain't that just the way you learn
Hey Michel I just wanted to let you know
That someone else has stolen my heart
And now another girl has caught your eye
That doesn't mean I don't think of you
I am just hoping that she'll treat you right
Do you remember
How we walked the street to the beat
Hand in hand you and me
Smiling faces so in love
Hoping that they all could see
That we belonged together you and me
against the world
But we found out the hard way cause it
wasn't meant to be
Now it is you and her I see
It was just a silly dream
You let me get away so easily
Even though I was the one who called it over
I guess you didn't even try anymore
Maybe tomorrow, I can forgive
I do want to thank you for absolutely nothing
(Nothing at all) at all, hmm
(Nothing at all) at all
So I better pack these heavy bags and run
Knowing I cannot afford to show anything
And even though I was the one who called it over
Every day, I find it harder to pretend
So maybe tomorrow, I can forgive
For now, I just thank you for absolutely nothing
(Nothing at all) at all, at all
(Nothing at all) at all
Nothing at all, whoa-ooh-oh-oh-ooh-oh
Nothing at all
Even though you gave me hard times
I'll be able to forgive you
But I feel like loving you no more
And how it goes you can never tell
Just know you'll never have my heart back
And I wanna just thank you again
For nothing at all, at all, at all, whoa
Nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all
Whoa, whoa, nothing at all, nothing at all
Nothing at all, you let down, you let me down
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Born and raised in the suburbs
Became a rock 'n roll singer
Tryin' to find my way going uptown
Hard work and determination
I never asked for anything
No higher education
Stood up, tired of waiting
Too many choices and illusions
Smack flow just to survive
All clues but no solutions
Struggle each day just to stay alive
It ain't just image I create
Don't fill your judgement full with hate
It ain't worth it, it ain't worth it
I'm that true blond proud wigger
Born and raised in the suburbs
Became a rock 'n roll singer
Tryin' to find my way going uptown
Bring on that revolution
My kids brown sugared skin
People jumping to conclusions
Letting me know I was made to sin
So done with moderation
You look around, but you never look up
No intelligent conversation
I'll eat dirt but I won't shut up
It ain't just image I create
Don't fill your judgement full with hate
It ain't worth it, it ain't worth it
I'm that true blond proud wigger
Born and raised in the suburbs
Became a rock 'n roll singer
Tryin' to find my way going uptown
And violets to be blue
Why isn't my heart meant for you
My hands longing to touch you
But I can barely breathe
Starry eyes that make me melt
Right in front of me
Lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
And when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found
This music's irresistible
Your voice makes my skin crawl
Innocent and pure
I guess you heard it all before
Mister Inaccessible
Will this ever change
One thing that remains the same
You're still a picture in a frame
Lost in this world
I even get lost in this song
And when the lights go down
That is where I'll be found
I get lost in this world
I get lost in your eyes
And when the lights go down
That's where I'll be found
Am I the only one
I just wanted you to see
That I can get you much better love
I'll be that bitch she'll never be
I ain't no homewrecker
But you deserve that killer bee honey
And if you're up for anything but easy
Let me reply it's gotta be me
You can't imagine what I'm going through
When all those ladies stop and stare at you
Now come on and get it
Now let's get higher
'Cause I'm the kind of girl dancing on a thin wire
Walk down here baby leave it all up to me
'Cause I will make you cry for more
Before you know it you'll be beggin' me on your knees
'Cause I've got that fire
Now come on and get it
When it comes to making love
I'm the one you're looking for
Don't you waste all of my time
Come over here before I change my mind
Now come on and get it
I'll take you higher
I'm the kind of girl dancing on a thin wire
Walk down here baby leave it all up to me
'Cause I will make you cry for more
Before you know it you'll be beggin' me on your knees
Come on and get it
'Cause I got that fire
Now you put it on me
I'm taking you higher
I'm ready
For the times that I killed your dreams
For the times that I made your whole world rumble
For the times that I made you cry
For the times that I told you lies
For the times that I watched and let you stumble
It's to bad, but that's me
What goes around comes around, and you'll see
That I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
And when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, 'cause I, I'll never be nobody's wife
I'm sorry for the times that I didn't come home
Left you lyin' in that bed alone
Was flyin' high in the sky when you needed my shoulder
Your like a stone hangin' around my neck, see
Cut it loose before it breaks my back, see
I've gotta say what I feel before I grow older
I'm sorry but I ain't gonna change my ways
You know I've tried but I'm still the same
I've got to do it my way
It's to bad, but that's me
What goes around comes around, and you'll see
That I can carry the burden of pain
'cause it ain't the first time that a man goes insane
And when I spread my wings to embrace him for life
I'm suckin' out his love, 'cause I, I'll never be nobody's wife
