	LYRICS (song by Benjamin Russell) I'm on the outside, looking in You're on the inside dreaming I'm on the outside, I can't get in You're a sleeping beauty and I can't disturb the spell Till you're ready, only time will tell When the bubble breaks, you'll need me When the bubble breaks, you'll see me I will be waiting for you You are pure, heaven sent You think love is innocent (it is!) But you won't feel joy or pain As long as you're living outside the rain And no price charming's going ring that bell Till you're ready, only time will tell When the bubble breaks, you'll need me When the bubble breaks, you'll see me I will be waiting for you We're all sleeping, living in our dreams And we can't shake the fantasy So it seems When the bubble breaks...

about

Written in the 80s and released on Benjamin Russell's LIFE IN THE ICE AGE album, WHEN THE BUBBLE BREAKS has spawned numerous recorded versions. This one is unique as it reunites the team that created the successful MIRACLE 2021 (the John Roland Penner mix) last year with a significant addition: the uber-talented Shimmer Johnson on vocals.

This team is the brainchild of Kevin Alberga who was behind the 2021 Miracles. Benjamin did a rough arrangement and sent it off through the internet to John Roland Penner. Months passed and the song was transmogrified beyond recognition with the addition of synthesizers, then guitar by John Boldt, and Shimmer Johnson's wonderful vocals. Benjamin Russell contributed backing vocals.

As with Miracle, this new WHEN THE BUBBLE BREAKS was then put in the magical hands of Trepanic (aka Conor O'Sullivan) who broke it down and rebuilt it into a pulsing, driving track that makes you want to DANCE!

This is the first offering from this team in 2022. What's next? Keep your ears open, there's more coming soon!
