Better-known 1990s vocalist and ballad maker Duncan Sheik is one of the few creative people who supervised to become prospering not just in the mainstream euphony industry but also Broadway. With a couple of Grammy and Tony Awards below his belt, Sheik can be saw as one of the few artists who come across crucial and bum achiever in both Singable domains. And as well it should—as a mainstream vocal writer for best-selling songs such as “Barely Breathing,” his vocals leap to life with making lyrics and catchy music; and as an artist intended on the theater, his lyrics and euphony are elating and simply grand. “Barely Breathing” is Sheik’s first individual, and the vocal that garnered him mainstream applaud. This break hit was the Hot 100’s fourth longest-running hit during that time—a rare feat for an artist like Sheik who isn’t even an all-pop singer. The words of “Barely Breathing,” however, has what no other pop song has during that time—a hook that’s serious sufficiency while persisting true to unquestionable persuasion that doesn’t reek of syrupy redolence which was common of words during that time. Find Out the lyrics of “Barely Breathing,” and note how the tender persuasion is checked to invalidate being too common: “'Cause I am barely breathing / And I can't find the air / Don't know who I'm kidding / Imagining you care / And I could stand here waiting / A fool for another day / I don't suppose it's worth the price, worth the price / The price that I would pay.” Nor astonishingly, the report and structure of his earlier lyrics can still be detected in his later works, specially in his work in the theater. Another notable vocal with euphony and lyrics by Sheik is “Wishful Thinking,” which was used in the 1998 movie Great Expectations. As with older individual, ‘Wishful Thinking” has the same acute lyric poems, lyrics that do not call or directly state its purposes and meaning. For a pop-rock artist, Sheik’s lyrics are full of surprising metaphors and turn of phrases, alluding to various frequent quotations and symbolic representations that add astuteness to his songs. Note this part of the lyrics of “Wishful Thinking,” and ascertain the substance it strains to connote: “Feel the blades of grass / How it brings you back / it will always be / Only as green as you can see.” But peradventure the superlative of his notional career is his intimacy in the Braodway Dulcet jump Awakening. Winning the Tony Award for Best Dulcet during its first run, Sheik’s musical compositions are artful and poetic, even if the topics and the theme of the play are provocative, to say the least. For instance, the lyrics of one of the Honeyed’s showstoppers, “I Don’t Do Sadness,” barefacedly use tall devices. Try Out lyric poems: “Awful sweet to be a little butterfly / Just wingin' over things And nothing deep inside. / Nothing goin', goin' wild in you, you know. / You're slowing by the riverside, / Or floatin' high and blue.\
