Patrick Nuo(born 31 August 1982) is a Swiss
singer.
Nuo was born and raised in Lucerne,
Switzerland. His mother is Swiss and his father is an ethnic Albanian from Kosovo. He has a younger
brother, Simon. In the meantime he also worked as a model for charity projects.
In 2002, Patrick met producer and songwriter David Jost, who
helped Nuo sign a contract with Warner Music.
In the following months, the duo created a whole album together, which was
eventually released under the name Welcome in September 2003. A top 20 chart success in Switzerland and
Germany, it spawned three singles; including debut single "5 Days"
and follow-up "Reanimate", which reached number 18 on the Swiss Singles
Chart.
That same year, Nuo joined Zeichen der Zeit, a Christian music project whose first single "Du bist nicht allein" became a
top ten success in Germany. A second single released from the project's
self-titled compilation album, "Ein weiterer Morgen", entered the top
40 of the German
Singles Chart the following year. Also in 2004, a
reissue of Welcome was released. It spawned the single "Undone",
which served as the theme song for American comedy film Scooby-Doo 2:
Monsters Unleashed(2004) in German-speaking
Europe.
In May 2005, Nuo's second álbum Superglue was
released. While not as commercially successful as Welcome in Germany, it would
eventually become his highest-charting to date, reaching number four on the
GIRL IN Swiss Albums Chart.
Two singles were released from Superglue: "Girl in the Moon" and
"Beautiful", the latter of which became his first and only top ten
hit to date. The song peaked at number nine and number seven in Switzerland and
Austria respectively. In 2006, Nuo reteamed with Zeichen der Zeit to produce
their second album Generation David(2006), and participated in another
non-profit aid project when he provided vocals for the Fury in the
Slaughterhouse cover, charity single "Won't
Forget These Days", released during the 2006 FIFA
World Cup.
In 2007, after a label change to Ariola Records, Nuo's
third album Nuo was released. It widely failed to match the success of his
previous studio albums and produced three singles of which lead single
"Watchin' Over You" became the only single to chart. In September
2009, the single "Come On Now" was released on Flash Records.
Somethin'beautiful
touched my soul
Somethin'from the outside took control
And I can't wait till the end of the day
When she comes over to take me away
She makes me fly
It's in her eyes
Chorus:
She's my girl in the moon
An Angel put a smile upon her face
She's my girl in the moon
In the dawn she's gone without a trace
Ain't nobody else's girl
No one can tear us apart
How I wish I'd carry her
Forever in my heart
On my own I watch the stars tonight
I'm longin for her until it hurts inside
I hope she comes at the end of the day
When she unfolds me
To take me away
She makes me cry
It's in her eyes
Chorus:
She's my girl in the
moon
An Angel put a smile upon her face
She's my girl in the moon
In the dawn she's gone without a trace
Ain't nobody else's girl
No one can tear us apart
How I wish I'd carry her
Forever in my heart
Chorus:
She's my girl in the
moon
An Angel put a smile upon her face
She's my girl in the moon
In the dawn she's gone without a trace
Ain't nobody else's girl
No one can tear us apart
How I wish I'd carry her
Forever in my heart.
