After all, the broken stones
That were thrown, for no good reason
Inside, she's loving him still
After all this time
And though her heart, begs the stars
No sign of healing, It's All right
She's loving him still, after all this time.
Ohh yeahh
Trying to push the past away
Still waiting for the lights to change
Try, try for the sake of it
Pride pride
Learning to barely feel the pain
Thicker the skin the less the strain
And though it's really hurting
She aint breaking, breaking, breaking
Cos she's loving him still, after all this time
Now he knows his weakness shows
Selfish soul, never changing
That's fine, because she's loving him still
After all this time
And to the outside eye
You see you found a different guy
And it all seems perfect, and that's how she wants it
Cos she's loving him still, after all this time.
Trying to push the past away
Still waiting for the lights to change
Try, try for the sake of it
Pride pride
Learning to barely feel the pain
Thicker the skin the less the strain
And though it's really hurting
She aint breaking, breaking, breaking
Cos she's loving him still, after all this time
After all this time....
After all, after all, after all this time
Bones have to grow, and age it shows
Though we try and hide it
Inside, she's loving him still After all this time
And behind his tired eyes, she sees the boy with his arms wide
Who made her feel like an angel
Ohh thats why she's loving him still
For the rest of her life, she's loving him still
For the last of many miles
She's loving him still After all this time
Over...

一直是Blue创作灵魂的Simon Webbe，在他的首张个人专辑，一口气包办了8首歌的创作，跳脱泡泡糖时代的曲风，仍会听到有如Blue甜味一般的熟悉乐音，但加入更多自我风格的细致用心，就如同巧克力的芬芳在舌尖缓缓融化扩散，层次分明。Simon对歌唱的兴趣从童年萌芽，他从教堂的演唱中，领略到福音歌曲与和声唱法的技巧，回到家里，他则是沉浸在Bill Withers、Bob Marley与无数福音艺人的唱片世界中，青少年时期，Simon迷上了足球，但是，当他准备一圆足球明星梦的时候，却因在一场比赛中发生韧带撕裂伤的伤势，迫使他不得不永远高挂足球鞋。足球梦破灭后，Simon把梦想投射到娱乐事业上，19岁的时候，Simon凭着姣好的面容赢得模特儿的合约，虽然来自曼彻斯特一带的走秀邀约纷纷涌进，不过，Simon还是希望能够成为一位歌手，他的歌唱梦想稍后随着Blue的成军而开始发光发热，2001年起，Blue连创3张英国金榜冠军专辑、3首英国金榜冠军曲与8首英国金榜TOP 10畅销曲的纪录，其中，《All Rise》、《One Love》、《Fly By II》等单曲都是Simon的创作曲。
　　首张大碟《Sanctuary》中的首支感人单曲《Lay Your Hands》一出场就写下了空降英国金榜第4名的闪亮成绩单，为Simon的个人歌唱旅程抢得了好彩头，揉合了老式灵魂乐与当代都会民谣风格的第2首单曲《No Worries》势将再造排行佳绩。专辑中有8首歌曲都是出自Simon的创作，其中包括了兼具动感与悦耳听觉特质的小品《After All This Time》、具有民谣放克节奏因子的《Unjustified》。Simon展现了词曲创作的才华与软调灵魂乐的唱功，完成一张融合了都会节奏感，不插电原音吉他弹奏音色以及灵魂乐完美唱腔之R&B大作。
