Produced by Kasim Sulton
Recorded at Cloud 9 Recoding, Long Island, NY, Feb–March 2000
Not a whole lot of information can be found on these four demo tracks. From Patti's page on Cloud 9's website one would assume that the recording-engineer is Cloud 9 Recording co-owner/chief-engineer Joe Napoli, drums by John Miceli, and guitars by George Cintron, who is in the band Grand Baby with John. Best guess for bass is of course Kasim.
These tracks were never officially released.
IN MY HEART
The seasons are changing
Colors are fading in front of my eyes
I look past the darkness
And wait for the sun to rise
Now maybe I'm blinded
Maybe my love's in the way
Maybe I'm helpless
Or maybe the facts are too hard to face
'Cause I know where I stand, I know I should leave
But my heart won't let me
I know what is true and I know what it means
But the truth won't set me free
I can remember
When there were no thoughts that we couldn't share
But now you have secrets
And I look away as if they're not there
Living without you
Something I can't bear to take
Maybe I'm foolish
Or maybe the ties are too hard to break
I know where I stand, I know I should leave
But my heart won't let me
And the reasons to stay go on I my dreams
And they're all you've left me
I know what is true, I know what it means
But the truth won't set me free
(on and on)
It seems the more I hold on
The more you are drifting away
(——, so long)
To let this go on one more day
I can't forget what you've put me through
And it won't upset me
'Cause no matter what, I will always love
And love won't forget me
I know where I stand, I know I should leave
But my heart won't let me
I know what is true, I know what it means
But the truth won't set me free, yeah
(on you've led me)
I know where I stand, I know I should leave
I know the truth won't set me free, yeah, oh yeah....
WHERE WERE YOU
The first time I saw you I knew I was falling too fast
You reassured me that what we were feeling would last
So I held you close in my arms
Then I surrendered my heart
Just like a storybook romance you played me so well
And the more I believed you, the harder I fell
Something was missing inside
And when I opened my eyes
Where were you?
Where was I?
When our world started crumbling I searched for a reason why
I looked deep in my heart
Trying to find
I can remember the passion that burned in your eyes
I can't bear that another feels that passion tonight
While I sit alone in the dark
My life is falling apart
Where were you?
Where was I?
When our world started crumbling I searched for a reason why
I looked deep in my heart
Trying to find
A reason you'd take all my love and leave me behind
How can you just walk away, was it all just a game for you?
And could I be such a fool, giving all my love to you
Still I sit alone in the dark
My life is falling apart—over you....
Where were you?
Where was I?
When our world started crumbling I searched for a reason why
I looked deep in my heart
Trying to find
A reason you'd take all my love and leave me behind....
Well, I can remember the passion that burned in your eyes
Where were you…?

Some of you have already heard this song, as it was on the recording studio's website quite a few years ago. Well, now I get the chance to put it up!
I grew up listening to alot of Italian music so it was inevitable that I'd end up writing a song with that style in mind. I'm in the process of translating the lyrics to sing this one in....ITALIAN!! (bet you never saw that coming...) My Mom doesn't know I am doing this so SHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!! xxoo Ciao!!!Patti Russo, myspace
BALLERINA
Ballerina, child can you hear me?
Turn away, but you were never gone at all
Young child, come to me, I shall keep you warm
Ballerina, dance for me
You're the only shadow on the wall
Are you listening to me, at all…?
Can you show me?
I wanna be like you
Oh, if only
I could be like you
Show me
I wanna be like you
Ballerina…
Little girl, can you hear me?
Can you spare a moment of your time for me?
That's all I'll ever need
Come to me, with all your broken hearts and sorry dreams
No one will ever hear the cries
When you keep all your hurt inside
You need me
You know me
Are you listening to me at all?
You can't be without me
I'm the one who cast you on the wall
Believe me, you need me!
Ballerina, child can you hear me?
You turn away, but you were never gone at all
Young child, come to me, I shall keep you warm
Lonely one, reveal your tired, troubled soul to me
I'm the one that you'll refuse
But I'm the one you'll hate to lose!
You need me
You know me
Are you listening to me at all?
You can't be without me
I'm the one who cast you on the wall
Believe me, you need me! Aaaah!
Lonely shadow on the wall
You turn around, I try to call you
Who are you…?
You need me
You know me
Are you listening when I call you?
You can't be without me
I'm the one who cast you on the wall
Mirror, mirror on the wall…
I'm the fairest one of all…
Mirror, mirror on the wall…
I'm the fairest one of all…
(repeat)
MADELINE
Looking through the dust and gloom
With eyes trying so hard to fool you
Dreams that never had the chance to see the light of day
Do you ever wonder what they've done to you?
Is there's anything left for you?
Oh Madeline
Don't let them get too close
Don't let them use you
Madeline, time and again
Don't let them get too close
Is this all some twisted dream
That they will have you to believe?
That all the wonders of the world will fall around your feet
Well, once upon a time is only make believe
Once is all it takes to see
Oh Madeline
Don't let them get too close
Don't let them use you
Madeline, time and again
Don't let them get too close
Was it that you would defy any reason?
No one could tame you and no one could please you
You held the world in the palm of your hand
Now, where do you stand … Madeline....
Oh, cast away this lonely life
Reveal the fire in your eyes
Or can the fires burn away the pain inside your heart
Do you ever wonder what they've done to you?
And do you listen when I cry for you?
Oh Madeline
Don't let them get too close
Don't let them use you
Madeline, time and again
Don't let them get too close
Madeline
Don't let them get too close
(don't let them use you)
Oh Madeline, time and again
(don't let them use you)
Madeline
(don't let them get too close)
(don't let them use you)
(Madeline, time and again)
(don't let them get too close)
Oh, Madeline
(don't let them get too close)
(don't let them use you)
(Madeline, time and again)
Hold on, ooooh
(don't let them get too close)
(don't let them use you)
Madeline....
