La storia della musica mondiale vede i Corrs come primo gruppo di fratelli e sorelle musicisti di talento e di gran bellezza. Per il secondo aspetto dall'album successivo si noterà dalle copertine la grande bellezza di Andrea rispetto alle (non "peggiori") sorelle. Andrea, immagine del gruppo sul palco e nei video, grande voce, è seguita in ordine di importanza da Sharon, la violinista, da Caroline, la batterista (quella a sinistra di Jim, la più carina), e da Jim, il chitarrista, del quale ne parlerò se sarà necessario.
L'album d'esordio si muove su due direzioni che in un modo o nell'altro suoneranno per i dischi successivi: da una parte il folk irlandese (sei brani strumentali) e da un'altra una pop song americana miscelata al folk della terra da cui vengono (appunto l'Irlanda).
Questo è un disco di riscaldamento in vista del successivo che darà molto di più, in termini di successo. Si ricorda qui, ma in tono minore, i primi due classici inseriti nella storia Corrs: appunto "Forgiven, not forgotten" e "Runaway".

02 Forgiven, Not Forgotten (04:15)
All alone staring on, watching her life going by
When her days are grey and her nights are black
Different shades of mundane
And the one-eyed furry toy that lies upon the bed
Has often heard her cry
And heard her whisper out a name long forgiven
But not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're not forgotten
A bleeding heart torn apart left on an icy grave
In their room where they once lay face to face
And nothing could get in the way
But now the memories of a man are haunting her days
And the craving never fades
She's still dreaming of a man long forgiven
But not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're not forgotten
Still alone staring on
Wishing her life goodbye
As she goes searching for the man long forgiven
But not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're forgiven, not forgotten
You're not forgotten
You're not forgotten
No, you're not forgotten
03 Heaven Knows (04:18)
Deep, deep in our hearts, strangers apart,
Oh please come back to me, no more to leave, never to grieve
I give my world to you, send, send her away to her grieving,
I will never set you free, no more, no, no more a life without meaning,
You and I will fly away to love, in my mind,
Love, in my soul, I just can't let go,
Sadness fills my life, Oh my fruitless plight,
Only heaven knows,
Tears, tears in the night, sorrow take flight,
Oh please come back to me, each we believe, never to grieve,
I give my world to you, send, send her away to her grieving,
I will never set you free, no more, no, no more a life without meaning,
You and I will fly to love, in my mind, love, in my soul,
I just can't let go, sadness fills my life,
Oh my fruitless plight, only heaven knows,
Sadness fills my life,
Sadness fills my life, oh,
Sadness fills my life,
Sadness fills my life, oh,oh,oh wow, oh
Send, oh send her away to her grieving,
You and I will fly away to love, in my mind,
Love, in my soul, I just can't let go,
Sadness fills my life, oh my fruitless plight,
Only heaven knows
Love, in my mind, love in my soul,
I just can't let go, sadness fills my life
Oh my fruitless plight, only heaven knows Heaven Knows,
Love, in my mind, love, in my soul,
I just can't let go Heaven knows, sadness fills my life,
Oh my fruitless plight, only heaven knows Heaven Knows
05 Someday (03:51)
Fragments of a love, that's all we have
What we had was fantasy ,dreams and photographs
Hypnotic melodies could sing our song
A comfortable rhythm in a comfortless world
How do you know when love has gone ?
There's so much more within me
How do you know the passion's gone ?
I know I just don't feel it !
How do you know when love has gone ?
Oh baby !
How do you know the passion's gone ?
I know we have to move along
Someday you'll forget me, someday you'll forget me
Someday you'll forget me, someday you'll forget me
A fragrant memory is soon to fade
We lived our love of make believe, dreams and fairy tales
Now we say goodbye, habitual romance
A rose without her petals and a song without a dance
How do you know when love has gone ?
There's so much more within me
How do you know the passion's gone ?
I know I just don't feel it !
How do you know when love has gone ?
Oh baby !
How do you know the passion's gone ?
I know we have to move along
Someday you'll forget me, someday you'll forget me
Someday you'll forget me, someday you'll forget me
How do you know when love has gone ?
The song has gone within me
How do you know when passion's gone ?
I know we have to move along
Someday you'll forget me, someday you'll forget me
Someday you'll forget me, someday you'll forget me
Someday you'll forget me, someday you'll forget me
Someday you'll forget me, someday you'll forget me
06 Runaway (04:24)
Say it's true
There's nothing like me and you
I'm not alone
Tell me you feel it too
And I would run away
I would run away, yeah yeah
I would run away
I would run away with you
Because I, have fallen in love with you
No, never, I'm never gonna stop
Falling in love with you
Close the door
Lay down upon the floor
And by candlelight
Make love to me through the night
Cause I have run away
I have run away, yeah yeah
I have run away, run away,run away
I have run away with you
Because I, have fallen in love with you
No, never, I'm never gonna stop
Falling in love with you
And I would run away
I would run away, yeah yeah
I would run away
I would run away with you
Because I, have fallen in love with you
No, never, i'm never gonna stop
Falling in love with you
With you, my love
With you
Runaway yeah, runaway yeah
runaway, runaway, runaway, runaway
runaway yeah, runaway yeah, runaway, runaway, runaway yeah...

07 The Right Time (04:07)
This is the right time, once in a lifetime
So I find it hard to sleep, don't you know
The sun is shining in my window, life's in flow
Making music in the morning, laughter's light
Creativity touches in full flight
This is the right time, once in a lifetime
Keep it going, let's not lose it, feel the flow
Oh! flying free in a fantasy, with you I'll go
This is the right time, once in a lifetime
Now something has entered my mind
Shattering all of my thoughts
It's no good, it's just one big waste of my time,
but what can I do to recall
This is the right time, once in a lifetime
This is the right time, once in a lifetime
This is the right time, once in a lifetime
This is the right time, once in a lifetime
13 Closer (04:05)
I see you
Walking everyday
with a smile beneath a frown
But I will not look away
Yeah hey
What does it mean?
What's there to see?
If I look closer, closer
Closer, closer
Closer, closer
Closer, closer...
Where you going?
And what you thinking at all?
Your eyes show nothing more
Than a dazed oblivion
What does it mean?
What will I see?
When I look closer, closer
Closer, closer
Closer, closer
Closer, closer
Ah, yeah
You don't see me
Watching everyday
My smile could warm your frown
And I'd never look away
(Never look away)
There's more to me
Than what you see
When you look closer, closer
Closer, closer
Closer, closer
Closer, closer
Closer, closer
Closer, closer
Ah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Closer
Closer
Closer
No, no
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
(Ah, ah)
Oh, no no
Oh yes
Closer...
Oh, no no
Oh yes...
14 Leave Me Alone (03:40)
I'm alone
Hiding in the dark
I'm looking for a light to come and rescue me
I sleep
I rise
Hear your denies
Endlessly inside
It's crazy but
(Sometimes I feel like)
I want to run away
(Sometimes I feel like)
I've got to get away
(One day you will see)
Another side of me
(My life I command)
It's not the way that you planned
Leave me alone
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Out on my own
(Out on my own)
Leave me alone
What do you want from me
Do you dream of a life?
Your life through me?
Myself
My time
In one we unite
I don't ever want to be that girl
You want it to be
(Sometimes I feel like)
But I want to run away
(Sometimes I feel like)
I've got to get away
(One day you will see)
Another side of me
(My life I command)
It's not the way that you planned
Leave me alone
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Out on my own
(Out on my own)
Leave me alone
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah!
(One day you will see)
Another side of me
(My life I command)
It's not the way
It's not the way that you planned
Leave me alone
(Leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Out on my own
(Out on my own)
Leave me alone
