Donna Summer - I Feel Love (1977) + cover versions & remixes

May 1977: LaDonna Andrea Gaines, a.k.a. Donna Summer, released her album I Remember Yesterday, produced by Giorgio Moroder. The album contained tracks which should represent several decades of the 20th century: 'I Remember Yesterday' represented the 1940s, 'Love's Unkind' the 50s and 'Back in Love Again' the 60s. The album concluded with the then futuristic 'I Feel Love'.
As with Donna's four previous albums, different record labels distributed her work in different nations. Some of the labels chose to release the ballad 'Can't We Just Sit Down (And Talk It Over)' as the first single, with 'I Feel Love' as the B-side, but the impact of the song was so huge that it was soon released internationally as a standalone A-side.
Previous disco tracks had usually been backed by an acoustic orchestra, while 'I Feel Love' was the first ever track to use an entirely synthesized backing track, which would later help develop the music genres Dance and Techno. The repetitive vocals over the backing track helped make the song a massive hit. It finally gave Donna the follow-up 'Love to Love You Baby'.
'I Feel Love' put Donna Summer firmly in her place as the leading female artist of Disco.
The track is so genius that it has been covered endless times, from likely artists such as Blondie, Jimmy Somerville & Marc Almond and Madonna to such unlikely groups as he Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Finnish Psychadelic Rock band Kingston Wall.
Blatant samples of the basic bass track were used by Cher ('All Or Nothing' in 1998) and Moloko ('Sing It Back' in 1999).
Last Year, Gucci ran a TV advertising campaign video, directed by Chris Cunningham, for their scent Flora, which used the song in a trace version.

Deadmau5 & Kaskade - I Remember (2008)

Ryan Raddon, a.k.a. Kaskade

In 2008, Canadian Producer Joel Zimmermann, a.k.a. Deadmau5 and US American DJ Ryan Raddon, a.k.a. Kaskade, hired singer-songwriter Haley Gibby to record one of my favourite tunes that some would classify as Progressive House.


Joel Zimmermann, a.k.a. Deadmau5

There are two video versions, a 10-minute short film and an edited 4-minute version, produced by Anthony & Christopher Donnelly of Mancunian Gio-Goi fame. The video stars Stephen Graham, Warren Brown, Aston Kelly, Greg Walsh & also ex-Coronation Street actress Emma Edmondson. It was filmed in Manchester, with Stephen talking to Warren and Astn about life and rave culture. The two young men then proceed to find a suitable venue for, what is later revealed to be, an illegal rave with Deadmau5 performing as the DJ.
Stephen was almost arrested after police mistook the video for a genuine illegal rave.

Elena Paparizou - Treli Kardia (2004)



Lyrics:

Με ένα σου χάδι που κυλάει στο κορμί μου και την ανάσα σου ακούω αναστενάζω
Νιώθω την καρδιά μου να χτυπά δυνατά μες τη φωτιά
μάτια ερωτευμένα που ζητούν το καυτό φιλί στο στόμα
Τρελή καρδιά που δεν μπορεί σε αμαρτίες να αντισταθεί | 2x
και ψάχνεται μες στον Βοριά και στα δίχτυα του έρωτα | 2x
Με ένα παιχνίδι σου ζητώ τελείωσε με Μεσ' το σκοτάδι ψάχνω να βρω, κυνηγώ
Μες τη φαντασία δυο κορμιά αγκαλιά με φώτα σβηστά
Νιώσε την ανάγκη να ζητάς να μεθάς πάνω στο κορμί μου
Τρελή καρδιά που δεν μπορεί σε αμαρτίες να αντισταθεί | 2x
και ψάχνεται μες στον Βοριά και στα δίχτυα του έρωτα | 2x
I search to find a hunter
Με ένα παιχνίδι σου ζητώ τελείωσέ με Μεσ' το σκοτάδι ψάχνω να βρω, κυνηγώΤρελή καρδιά που δεν μπορεί σε αμαρτίες να αντισταθεί | 4x
και ψάχνεται μες στον Βοριά και στα δίχτυα του έρωτα | 4x
Τρελή καρδιά...

English translation:

With one your stroke that rows
on my body
and I hear your breath
I sigh
I feel my heart
to beat strongly
into the fire
eyes in love that are asking
the burning kiss to mouth
Crazy heart that cannot
resist to sins
and searches it self into the north-wind
and in love's web
With one game i ask you
finish me
into the dark
I search to find a hunter
Into the fantasy
two bodies huged
with turned off lights
feel the need
to ask, to get drunk
over my body
Crazy heart that cannot
resist to sins
and searches it self into the north-wind
and in love's web
With one game i ask you
finish me
into the dark
I search to find a hunter
Crazy heart that cannot
resist to sins
and searches it self into the north-wind
and in love's web

Eurythmics

Annie Lennox (born 1954 in Aberdeen, Scotland) and Dave Stewart (born 1952 in Sunderland, Northern England), a.k.a. Eurythmics, met in a London restaurant in 1975. Annie was working there at the time and both went on to form and the play together with Peet Coombes in their group The Catch. They released one single, 1977's 'Borderline/Black Blood'. The single was released in the UK, NL, ES and POR. The Catch soon became known as The Tourists, who had some chart success in 1979-80 though disbanded soon after due to legal issues with management, publishers and their record label at the time, Logo Records.
Also having a personal relationship by then, Annie and Dave decided to go it alone and became Eurythmics (named after a style of Greek dance that Annie had did as a child), signed to RCA Records. Their breakthrough came with their second album, Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This), released early 1983. The title track featured a dark and powerful sequenced synth bass line and a dramatic video with Annie sporting an orange crew haircut, rapidly making her the new pop icon.
After strenuous years of touring and recording (Eurythmics had released eight studio albums in eight years), a rift had developed between the duo and Eurythmics disbanded, although no official notice was given. Dave began writing film soundtracks and had a big international hit in 1990 with the instrumental track 'Lily Was Here', featuring saxophonist Candy Dulfer, while in 1992, Annie released her first solo album, Diva. The album was a critical and popular success .

Schiller - Dream of You (2001) + I Feel You (2004)

Taking their stage name from the famed German poet, the production duo of Schiller originally consisted of Mirko von Schlieffen & Christopher von Deylen and debuted in 1998 with Glockenspiel. The two layered trance beats and spoken poetry, which resulted in a couple of trance chart-toppers in Europe in the late '90s and early 2000. Zeitgeist marked the band's debut in early 2001. Schiller's second studio album Weltreise was inspired by a two-month-long road trip that Christopher took with his father from London to Beijing.
The duo soon had creative differences and Mirko departed, leaving Christopher to continue on his own.
Christopher does not provide vocals for any of his compositions. Instead, he chooses to collaborate with singers from within and outside of Germany. Musicians and vocalists who have worked with Schiller include Ben Becker, Moya Brennan of the Celtic group Clannad, Sarah Brightman, Peter Heppner of the German synth pop band Wolfsheim, Xavier Naidoo, Kim Sanders, Ana Torroja, lead singer of the Spanish pop group Mecano, Mike Oldfield, Damae of Fragma and many, many more.
Schiller's collaboration with Wolfsheim's Peter Heppner resulted in 2 very distinctly melancholic tracks: 'Dream of You' and 'I Feel You'.

Schiller mit Heppner - Dream Of You by quattro21

Lyrics:

I've been here all the time
As far as I know doing right
I've always waited for the moment
That you would come through my door
But this brought loneliness so far
I lay my hand onto my heart
Is this the life I want to live
Is this the dream I had of you?

But this brought loneliness so far
I lay my hand onto my heart
Is this the life I want to live
Is this the dream I had of you...
the dream I had of you?

Now I'm standing here alone
I'm waiting on my own
For something that will fill the emptiness inside
The moment that you're mine
But this is loneliness I know
I lay my hand onto my soul
Is this what life has got to give
Is this the dream I had of you...
The dream I had of you?

But this is loneliness I know
I lay my hand onto my soul
Is this what life has got to give?
Is this the dream,
the dream I had of you?

I Feel U ... -Schiller by payam-e

Lyrics:

I feel you...
In every stone
In every leaf of every tree
You've ever grown
That you ever might have grown

I feel you...
In every thing
In every river that might flow
In every seed you might have sown

I feel you...
In every vein
In every beating of my heart
Each breath I take
In every breath I'll ever take

I feel you...
Anyway...
In every tear that i might shed
In every word i've never said

I feel you...

Lyrics:

This is the end you know
Lady, the plans we had went all wrong
We ain't nothing but fight and shout and tears

We got to a point I can't stand
I 've had it to the limit I can't be your man
I ain't more than a minute away from walking

We can't cry the pain away
We can't find a need to stay
I slowly realized there 's nothing on our side

Out of my life, out of my mind
Out of the tears we can't deny
We need to swallow all our pride
And leave this mess behind
Out of my head, out of my bed
Out of the dreams we had, they 're bad
Tell them it's me that made you sad
Tell them the fairytale gone bad

Another night and I bleed
They all make mistakes and so did we
But we did something we can never turn back right

Find a new one to fool
Leave and don't look back. I won't follow
We have nothing left it 's the end of our time

We can't cry the pain away
We can't find a need to stay
There's no more rabbits in my hat to make things right

Out of my life, out of my mind
Out of the tears we can't deny
We need to swallow all our pride
And leave this mess behind
Out of my head, out of my bed
Out of the dreams we had, they 're bad
Tell them it's me that made you sad
Tell them the fairytale gone bad

Out of my life, out of my mind
Out of the tears we can't deny
We need to swallow all our pride
And leave this mess behind
Out of my head, out of my bed
Out of the dreams we had, they 're bad
Tell them it's me that made you sad
Tell them the fairytale gone bad

Tell them the fairytale gone bad
Tell them the fairytale gone bad

Banned/Censored! - Enrique Iglesias - Sad Eyes (1999/2000)

Everyone seems to think Enrique Igleasias, son of Julio Iglesias, is this fluffy little vocalist, but there's more:

Back in September 2000, Enrique decided to cover Bruce Springsteen's 'Sad Eyes', which apart from scoring #8 in the US Dance Charts and #34 in the official US Billboard Charts, went largey ignored. But this is why I love remixes - HQ2, an Australian DJ outfit gave it a once over and the tune appeared on dancefloors. Eric Kupper did the same in the US.

But the question is, why did Enrique Iglesias' handlers ditch the gem of a music video to the track, featuring a naked Enrique cavorting with a stripper who dances around a pole that extends from between his legs? Can't they see this is art? The video for Enrique's cover of Bruce Springsteen's Sad Eyes randomly surfaced on David LaChapelle's website (I told you: art!) and has begun to make the rounds, with responses from somewhere between OMG and WTF.
Mr. Iglesias' phallic fantasy begins with an ode to the loneliness of fame, watching a video of himself performing, then flips channels to a phone sex ad, and he is drawn in sexy trance towards the glowing screen. He then goes cruising for hosin a fancy car and finds the sex ad lady (played by porn star Cassidey, says Tabloid Prodigy ), who is a sad but lighthearted whore who comes to his home and dances the 10-foot steel pole that stands erect between his legs. But wait! Was it all a dream? A possibly-jacking-off Enrique alone in bed with a nudie magazine featuring a trashy picture of sex ad lady. All in all: an indisputable cinematic triumph for the son of Julio Iglesias, rife with pathos and cleavage.

Enrique Miguel Iglesias Preysler, better known as Enrique Iglesias, started his musical career on Mexican label Fonovisa. This helped turn him into one of the most popular artists in Latin America and in the Hispanic or Latino market in the US, and the biggest seller of Spanish language albums for a number of years. Before the turn of the millennium, he made a crossover into the mainstream English language market, signing a deal with Universal Music Group for an unprecedented US$48 million to release his Spanish albums (and Interscope to release the English versions). Last year he parted with Interscope and signed with Universal Republic.

Lyrics:

Every day here you come walking
I hold my tongue, I don't do much talking
You say you're happy and you're doin' fine
Well go ahead, baby, I got plenty of time
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie

Well for a while I've been watching you steady
Ain't gonna move 'til you're good and ready
You show up and then you shy away
But I know pretty soon you'll be walkin' this way
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie

Baby don't you know I don't care
Don't you know that I've been there
Well if something in the air feels a little unkind
Don't worry darling, it'll slip your mind

I know you think you'd never be mine
Well that's okay, baby, I don't mine
that shy smile's sweet, that's a fact
Go ahead, I don't mind the act
Here you come all dressed up for a date
Well one more step and it'll be too late
Blue blue ribbon in you hair
Like you're so sure I'll be standing there
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie

Lyrics:

Woke up this morning
Closed in on all sides
Nothing doing

I feel resistance
As I open my eyes
Someone's fooling

I've found a way to break
Through this cellophane line
Cause I know what's going on
In my own mind

Am I living in a box
Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living in a box
Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living in a box

Life goes in circles
Around and around circulation
I sometimes wonder

What's moving underground
I'm escaping
I've found a way ...
I've found a way ...

Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living in a box (living)
Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living in a box (living)
Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living in a box (living)
Am I living in a cardboard box

Am I living am I living am I living

Am I living am I living

Am I living in a box
Am I living am I living
Am I living in a cardboard box
Am I living in a box
