UP BRASIL

---

        Too Much was the second single released from the album SpiceWorld and arrived at European shops at 1997 Christmas. For the second time consecutively, they made a number one Christmas single. The first one was 2 Become 1. Too Much, on the contrary of Spice Up Your Life,  it had no problem with sales. It arrived and did its job very well. Too Much is also SpiceWorld: the Movie opening song.

        It's a slower melody which talks about lack of love and the excess of nothing inside relationships, as the chorus shows: "Too Much of nothing...''. The lyrics are well written and got simple and easy verses, but showing interesting messages, in spit of the simplicity.

        There are two remixes tracks. One of them is a Orchestral Version (part 2), that's really wonderful, and the other one (part 1), SoulShock & Karlin Remix, shows us stronger beats, preserving its style and melody. The B-sides are Outer Space Girls (part 1) and Walk of Life (part 2), this last one is a reggae rehearsal which some ska influence which describes London through their point of view. Outer Space Girls is a pure SPICE GIRLS pop/dance style like Wannabe and Say You'll be There. It's got funny lyrics which tell the girls' as people from other planet/galaxy, but having the same attitude e the Spice official trademark: innovation and audacity!

        This time, the criticisms were a little bit better, less cruel, and they even made some praises. The song was a great hit and was always being played by Brazilian radio stations, being considered SpiceWorld's most successful song here until now.

        The pictures on the singles' covers were taken from British ELLE magazine (these pics will be here soon, in complete form, here at your SPICE UP BRASIL), to which the SPICE GIRLS did a photographic essay. The British part 1 cover (above) is the same of the american version. In the UK, both versions brought a SpiceWorld: the movie game postcard as a gift. This game have been already released to Sony Playstation.

Too MuchiiListen!

Love is blind, as far as the eye can see
Deep or meaningless, words to me
Easy lover, I need a friend
Road to nowhere, twist and turns but will this never end

Well my dear you'll know that he pleases me
But sometimes illusion ain't no revolution
That ain't no release for me

(Chorus 1)
Too much of something is bad enough
But something's coming over me to make me wonder
Too much of nothing is just as tough
I need to know the way to feel to keep me satisfied

I wrapped myself from around your finger
Hold me too tight or left to linger
Something fine built to last
Slipped out there I guess we're running out of time too fast

Yes, my dear, you know he soothes me (moves on)
There's no complication, there's no explanation
It's just a groove in me

(Chorus 2)
Too much of something is bad enough (bad enough)
But something's coming over me to make me wonder
Too much of nothing is just as tough (just as tough)
I need to know the way to feel to keep me satisfied
 

What part of no don't you understand
(understand understand)
I want a man not a boy who thinks he can

Boy who thinks he can...

(Chorus 1)
(Chorus 2)

Too much of nothing so why don't we give it a try
Too much of something we're gonna be living a lie
(repeat till fade...)

Walk of Life (This audio will be soon available)

I'm steppin' out into the walk of life
Hold tight the vibe is right
Feel the heat that's in the air
People watchin' everywhere

Rush hour slow it down
Stop and listen to the summer sound
Playing in the park and street talkin'
London Town is walkin', walkin' mmm

(Chorus)
London Town is walkin'
I said it's really talkin', yeah
Steppin' in the walk of life
I said, makin' out the walk of life
London Town I'm stalkin'
I said I'm really walkin', yeah

The sun is down and the lights come up
So we move on to a club
Surround yourself with the feel-good groove
People dancin' everywhere

Make your move go, turn it up
Rockin' rhythm at the rasta club
Singin' in the dark and heart thumpin'
London Town is pumpin'
I said it was jumpin'

(Chorus)

Zing zinga zinga zing zinga zinga
Zing zing zinga zinga zinga zinga
Zinga zaaaaahhhhh
Zing zinga zinga zing zaaaaahhhhh
Zing zaaahhhh ha ahhh

The sun is risin' but we haven't slept
I'm not ready to rest my head yet
Huddle close till you get no air
See the crew down Leicester Square

Pub-crawlers more then you
People watchin' - is it you?
Jump the bus and sack hoppin'
London Town is still buzzin'
Oh it's really buzzin', yeah

(Chorus)

To the Top
