Minnie Driver (born Amelia Fiona J. Driver; 31 January 1970) is an English actress and singer-songwriter. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the 1997 film Good Will Hunting, as well as for an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe for her work in the television series The Riches.

Early in her career, Driver was a member of a band called “Puff, Rocks and Brown”; the band was signed to a development deal with Island Records, which ended without a release.

She began a low-profile return to music in 2000; the following year, she signed with EMI and Rounder Records and performed at SXSW. Canadian music producer Colin Craig assisted in the eventual release of Everything I’ve Got in My Pocket, which reached No. 34 in the UK, and a second single, “Invisible Girl” peaking at No. 68. The album was backed by a group including members of the Wallflowers and Pete Yorn’s band. Driver wrote 10 of the 11 songs on the album and also covered “Hungry Heart” from Bruce Springsteen’s The River. In 2004, Driver was the support act for the Finn Brothers on the UK portion of their world tour.

In 2004, Driver played Carlotta Giudicelli in Joel Schumacher’s film of The Phantom of the Opera. Because of the vocal requirements of the role, Driver was the sole cast member to have her voice dubbed. However, she did lend her own voice to Learn to be Lonely, a song written by Andrew Lloyd Webber specifically for the film version of his musical (it plays over the closing credits of the movie). Driver released her second album entitled Seastories on 17 July 2007. The 12-track set is produced by Marc “Doc” Dauer, who also produced Everything I’ve Got in My Pocket. Ryan Adams and his band The Cardinals and Liz Phair are among the list of collaborators for the album.

Song Lyrics:

The late light of the desert made
The mountains a silhouette
As curved as a woman’s side
As far off as I feel inside
Gravity it’s heavier than my fears
Pulls me to a new conclusion
The light of you is the weight that keeps me here

I wake up with my soul on fire
I’m swimming in my heart’s desire not
Drowning in somebody’s wake, not
Smiling for somebody’s sake
Why don’t you just stay here in the sun
Beats me why you disappear honey
Ain’t I your beloved one

My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one

I see you blue eyed old and grey still
Up all night ’til break of day.
You dance me across the kitchen floor,
You still got one eye on the door.
How you love me with,
Them halfway eyes.
And when I think there’s nothing left
I think of love and all the time it buys.

My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one

The late light of the desert made
The mountains a silhouette
As curved as a woman’s side,
As far off as I feel inside.
The battle was hard fought but nobody won,
I’ll be your magnetic north baby,
You be my beloved one.

My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved one

Song Lyrics:

One more night, one more night

I’ve been trying, oh so long to let you know
Let you know how I feel
And if I stumble, if I fall, just help me back
So I can make you see

Please give me one more night
Give me one more night
One more night
‘Cause I can’t wait forever

Give me just one more night
Ooh, just one more night
Oh, one more night
‘Cause I can’t wait forever

I’ve been sitting here so long, wasting time
Just staring at the phone
And I was wondering should I call you
Then I thought, maybe you’re not alone

Please give me one more night
Give me just one more night
Oh, one more night
‘Cause I can’t wait forever

Please give me just one more night
Ooh, just one more night
Oh, one more night
‘Cause I can’t wait forever

Give me one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
‘Cause I can’t wait forever

Like a river to the sea
I will always be with you
And if you sail away
I will follow you

Give me one more night
Give me just one more night
Oh, one more night
I can’t wait forever

I know there’ll never be a time
You’ll ever feel the same
And I know it’s only words

But if you change your mind
You know that I’ll be here
And maybe we both can learn

Give me just one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
‘Cause I can’t wait forever

Give me just one more night
Give me just one more night
Ooh, one more night
‘Cause I can’t wait forever
