Lyrics:
We have the chance to turn the pages over
We can write what we want to write
We gotta make ends meet, before we get much older
We're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
This time, we know we all can stand together
With the power to be powerful
Believing we can make it better
Ooh, we're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son, oh
Give a look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
Ooh, we're all someone's daughter
We're all someone's son
How long can we look at each other
Down the barrel of a gun?
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah
You're the voice, try and understand it
Make the noise and make it clear, oh, woah
We're not gonna sit in silence
We're not gonna live with fear, oh, woah

Lyrics:
When we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colors on our skin
We were light and paper-thin
And when we first came here
We were cold and we were clear
With no colors on our skin
Til you let the spectrum in
Say my name,
And every color illuminates,
We are shining,
And we’ll never be afraid again.
Say my name!
As every color illuminates!
We are shining!
And we’ll never be afraid again!
Say my name!
As every color illuminates!
We are shining!
And we’ll never be afraid again!
And when we come for you,
We’ll be dressed up all in blue,
With the ocean in our arms,
Kissing eyes and kissing palms.
And when it’s time to pray,
We’ll be dressed up all in grey,
With metal on our tongues,
And silver in our lungs.
Say my name,
And every color illuminates,
We are shining,
And we’ll never be afraid again.
Say my name!
As every color illuminates!
We are shining!
And we’ll never be afraid again!
Say my name!
As every colour illuminates!
We are shining!
And we’ll never be afraid again!
And when we come back we’ll be dressed in black!
And you’ll scream our names aloud!
And we won’t eat and we won’t sleep!
We’ll drag bodies from their graves!
So say my name,
And every color illuminates,
And we are shining,
And we’ll never be afraid again,
Say my name,
As every color illuminates.
Say my name!
As every color illuminates!
We are shining!
And we’ll never be afraid again!
Say my name!
As every color illuminates!
We are shining!
And we’ll never be afraid again!
Say my name!
We are shining!
Say my name!
Say my name!
And we’ll never be afraid again!
Dana International (דנה אינטרנשיונל)
Though born a boy, Dana came out as transsexual at the age of 13. She wanted to become a singer ever since she was eight years old and saw legendary Israeli singer Ofra Haza performing her song 'Chai' in the 1983 Eurovision Song Contest. Although the family was quite poor, her mother worked to pay for her music lessons, and she has explained that her childhood was rather happy. The stage name she adopted, Dana, is the female version of Daniel, the name of her best friend Daniel, who died in a car accident and who had prophesied that she would someday have a successful singing career.
In 1993, Dana flew to London for her sex reassignment surgery and legally changed her name to Sharon. Returning home she released her first album in Israel, where it reached Gold, and soon after, the album was also released in several other countries including Greece, Jordan and Egypt. In 1994 Dana released her second, Trance-influenced album Umpatampa, which built on the success of her debut and provided further hit singles. The album went platinum in Israel and has sold more than 50,000 copies to date. Because of her popularity and the success of this album, she won the award for Best Female Artist of the Year in Israel.
Dana may have failed to qualify for the final representing Israel in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 in Germany, but then again she did win the entire thing already in 1998 with 172 points, when the contest was held in Birmingham, UK with 'Diva'. It is Dana's achievement that she took her success from back then and managed to change Israel's ultra-orthodox Jewish culture to a much more liberal one. Interviewed by CNN, BBC, Sky News and MTV among others mostly focusing on her life as a transsexual person before winning the contest, Dana's words were: 'My victory proves God is on my side. I want to send my critics (i.e.the Ultra-Orthodox Jews whom tried to void her 1998 performance) message of forgiveness and say to them: try to accept me and the kind of life I lead. I am what I am and this does not mean I don't believe in God, and I am part of the Jewish Nation'. Dana released 'Diva' as a single in Europe, reaching the Top 10 in many countries. Dana was about to sign with major Sony/BMG for an international recording contract, but something went wrong in negotiations. These were disagreements that led to Sony canceling the deal before it was completed. In 2003, she released a house version of Cinque Milla, and four years later, achieved regional success with Love Boy.

Lyrics:
She is all
you'll ever dream to find
On her stage
she sings her story
Pain and hurt
will steal her heart alight
Like a queen
in all her glory
And when she cries
Diva is an angel
When she laughs
she's a devil
She is all beauty and love
Viva Maria
Viva Victoria
Aphrodite
Viva le Diva
Viva Victoria
Cleopatra
Silent tears
drop from these eyes tonight
Tears of prayer
for all those aching hearts
And when she cries
Diva is an angel
When she laughs
she's a devil
She is all beauty and love
Viva Maria
Viva Victoria
Aphrodite
Viva le Diva
Viva Victoria

English Translation:
Six-pack in a chocolate colour
He says France but more likely Morocco
All day in the gym
Then it's not necessary to check his honesty
He's not proficient in words
He speaks with his hands
He's burning with his eyes
When he says, "let's go"
My heart dances in circles
And he sleeps in my bed
And he eats from my plate
I have a permanent trick
Twice a week
I have a love boy
He's not sensitive and not romantic
It doesn't make a difference if he's in favour or against
He doesn't need to know a lot
He's a doctor of honor in how to touch
I don't need to impress
Or be entertaining
Because I know
When he will tell me 'let's go'
My heart will dance in circles

Serge Devant - Addicted & No Good (both 2009)
Not very long after his humble beginnings studying classical music in the former Soviet Union, Serge’s early electronic career is already marked with the achievements of a seasoned veteran.
Serge Devant’s first single 'Transparent' in 2005 is recorded with trance diva Jan Johnston. But his career progression took dizzy heights in 2008, when Coca-Cola has brought Serge on board with an exclusive track 'Peace on Earth' for the Olympics in Beijing and clothing maker Armani Exchange had invited him to represent the brand. Serge Devant hit the coveted DJ Mag Top 100 List and became the youngest resident DJ at New York’s legendary Crobar.
DJ Tiësto names him one of his top 5 favorite DJ’s. Tiësto and many of the worlds DJ elite personally request Serge to share the stage while Serge himself holds residencies in major U.S. cities and headlines globally. With Serge on stage, crowds witness a skillful exhibition from one of the most promising young talents in the industry today.
In 2009 he released his first album, entitled Wanderer, on which has worked with several vocalists, such as ex-iiO's Nadia Ali and Hadley Poole.
Here my favourite two tracks, but I can recommend the entire album!

Grace - Not Over Yet (1995) & Skin On Skin (1996)
God, how did I love these two tracks!
Initially formed as 'State of Grace' in 1994, Paul Oakenfold and Steve Osborn hired Dominique Atkins to showcase their DJing talents and promote their record label, 'Perfecto', founded in 1989. The result were seven Top40 single releases, most notable 'Not Over Yet' and 'Skin On Skin'. The group was dissolved in 1997 as Oakenfold was touring as a performance DJ more frequently and could not commit to recording, while Dominique, born in the Middle East but raised in South London, decided to not continue with Grace and returned to solo work as well as collaborating with Tilt. Here the two charting tracks of the project:

Ono - Walking On Thin Ice (2003)
Ono - Walking On Thin Ice (2003)
Insane! A track on constant loop on my iPod today: Ono - Walking On Thin Ice (2003). Ono, in reference to Yoko Ono, who first released it in 1981, after John Lennon writing this as his last ever song before his assassination on 8 Dec 1980. A remix version was released in 2003, with many different artists and DJs taking a shot (pardon the pun), amongst them the Pet Shop Boys. But it is the Peter Rauhofer one that for me. Trying to find a version to embed on Mark's Tracks, but in the meantime, enjoy this, directly from Peter's My Space site.

Let the music make you rise up
Dirty hands, is what I demand
Let the music make you rise up
Oh put, the needle on it

All my freaks say
Put, the needle on it
I'll tell you where I want it
C'mon and spin me on it

Keep the lights, dark and low
I'll keep you up all night until you
Feel it vibrating through your bones
Dirty hands, I demand

There is a place within all of us,
it is sacred, so free of judgement
and this is yours to share with who you wish
This is your sanctuary.... sanctuary
There is no boundry , no rule to adhere
there is love, there is hate
there is want, there is need
there is greed ....
you can laugh, you can cry
for you are free on the inside
This is your sanctuary.... sanctuary
Take this light, hold it high, feel it shine
I know now that here inside ... this is mine
.... this is yours
This is your sanctuary...

You take my love
You want my soul
I would be crazy to share your life
Why can't you see what I am
Sharpen the senses and turn the knife
Hurt me and you'll understand
I'll never be Maria Magdalena
(You're a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena
(you're a victim of the fight)
(you need love)
Promise me delight
(You need love)
Why must I lie
Find alibis
When will you wake up and realize
I can't surrender to you
Play for affection andv Win the prize
I know those party games too
I'll never be Maria Magdalena
(You're a creature of the night)
Maria Magdalena
(you're a victim of the fight)
(you need love)
Promise me delight
(You need love)
Underworld - Two Months Off (2002)
I've been always wanting to do that: go absolutely ape in warm summer rain...
Karl Hyde and Rick Smith, a.k.a. Underworld, have been working together since the early 1980s, but it wasn't until the makers of the movie 'Trainspotting' in 1996 selected them to provide the soundtrack with 'Born Slippy' that they had their true breakthrough. It took another six years for them to release their most successful track to date: 'Two Months Off'.

It was just silly crap that hit the spot. And he let himself be drawn in.

In a nutshell, the story goes that prim and proper Cornwall housewife Grace Trevethyn finds herself unexpectedly widowed, in dire financial straits when she inherits massive debts that her late husband had been accruing for years, and faced with losing her house. She decides to use her talent for horticulture, and hatches a plan to grow potent marijuana which can be sold at an astronomical price, thus solving her financial crisis. Grace and her gardener's efforts to hide their illegal enterprise from the quaint and curious townsfolk and market their product compose the remainder of the film.
The movie won the High Hopes Award at the Munich Film Festival and the Audience Awards at both, the Norwegian International Film Festival and the Sundance Film Festival, all in 2000, the year of the release.
It was nominated to receive the Empire Award (Best British Actress), a Golden Globe and the Golden Satellite Award (Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical).
But let's not forget that this is a Music Blog: the entire soundtrack is brilliant and entire fitting.
Probably my favourite song from it is Sherena Dugani's 'Accidental Angel'

Keane - Everybody's Changing (live)
Lyrics:
You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same
You're gone from here
And soon you will disappear
Fading into beautiful light
Cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same
So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

Lyrics:
Komm mit mir – der Sonne entgegen
Hab keine angst mit mir zu fliegen
Ich fang dich auf, wenn du vom Himmel fällst
Tue nichts, was du selber nicht willst
Flieg mit mir – der sonne entgegen
Lass uns gemeinsam unsere träume leben
Ich schenk dir die Flügel, du musst dich nur trauen
Komm, flieg mit mir – der sonne entgegen
Du bist oft so still, völlig in sich gekehrt – nein - du lächelst nie
Ich weiß nicht, ob du nicht willst oder kannst – doch bitte sag mir wie
Ich in deine Seele schauen kann und erfahre, was du denkst
Wenn du mir nicht mal ein kleines lächeln schenkst
Ich weiß, es fällt dir schwer, deine Gedanken preiszugeben
Doch willst du wirklich ganz alleine mit deinen Ängsten leben
Deine Augen schreiben Bücher über Enttäuschungen und schmerzen
Vertrau mir, wenn du mich lässt, find ich den weg zu deinem herzen
Gib mir nur ein Zeichen dass du mich verstehst
Dass du nicht sinnlos deinen träumen aus dem wege gehst
Erzähl mir, was es ist, das du brauchst – egal, ich stütze dich
Komm in meine arme – ich beschütze dich
Komm mit mir – der Sonne entgegen
Hab keine angst mit mir zu fliegen
Ich fang dich auf, wenn du vom Himmel fällst
Tue nichts, was du selber nicht willst
Flieg mit mir – der sonne entgegen
Lass uns gemeinsam unsere träume leben
Ich schenk dir die Flügel, du musst dich nur trauen
Komm, flieg mit mir – der sonne entgegen
Du sollst der Engel sein, der mich zum lachen bringt
Doch wie soll ich lachen, wenn mein Engel traurig klingt
Dass glücklich sein leicht ist, hat keiner gesagt
Du musst dein Glück aufs neue suchen, jeden Tag
Jeder Tag ist wie eine Stufe auf unserem Weg
Von Hindernissen gepflastert, wenn man sich´s überlegt
Beginnt mit jedem Tag dein ganzes Leben von vorn
Die Zeit steht nie still, denn du bist auserkor´n
Deinem leben die Flügel die es verdient zu verleih´n
Und dich von deinen sorgen und Ängsten zu befreien
Vertraue mir, auch wenn du manchmal nicht weißt, wie
Flüchte nicht in deine träume, sondern lebe sie
Komm mit mir – der Sonne entgegen
Hab keine angst mit mir zu fliegen
Ich fang dich auf, wenn du vom Himmel fällst
Tue nichts, was du selber nicht willst
Flieg mit mir – der sonne entgegen
Lass uns gemeinsam unsere träume leben
Ich schenk dir die Flügel, du musst dich nur trauen
Komm, flieg mit mir – der sonne entgegen
Fang an, es ist an der Zeit, dich ernst zu nehmen
Lebe deine Träume und verträume nicht dein Leben
Gebe niemals auf, wenn Dunkelheit bei dir einbricht
Zweifle niemals zuviel an dir selbst – sonst geht´s nicht
Wer weiß, wie sich dein Licht noch verändern wird
Vielleicht bin ich dir ein Platz in deinem Herzen wert
Denn mein größter Traum ist nur bei dir zu sein
Denn du lässt in meiner Seele die Sonne scheinen
Komm mit mir – der Sonne entgegen
Hab keine angst mit mir zu fliegen
Ich fang dich auf, wenn du vom Himmel fällst
Tue nichts, was du selber nicht willst
Flieg mit mir – der sonne entgegen
Lass uns gemeinsam unsere träume leben
Ich schenk dir die Flügel, du musst dich nur trauen
Komm, flieg mit mir – der sonne entgegen

Lyrics:
There's a kind of peole who loves the good things
who loves the deep soul things we love to play sweet games together like a big family
on the dancefloor we are the kids of the quiet revolution and we fight for the new quiet concept of revolution
we play house music
you dance house music
we feel house
music
Here we love the light
We love the truth
We will enjoy your truth
Even if he's alive who cares it's all good baby it's all good we love what is real
as real as you're showing
and here we are flying flying
and here we are dreaming dreaming
Let's get together don't get lost
Here we love the light
We love the truth
Let's get together don't get lost

Lyrics:
Yo, you need a beat, where the bass is raw
The kinda beat that the clubs look for
I see her and I can't ignore
The way she moves when she's all on the floor.
I move to the bar
I get drunk 'cos I don't have a car.
She gets drunk 'cos she thinks I'm a star
She likes B, I can tell by the car
See I'm having a good time
And I don't mind if she's winding and grinding on me
Now, baby I don't waste time
So give me your waistline
And let's just move to this beat.
Is she on the guestlist?
'Cos I'm on the guestlist
I guess this was meant to be
And I'm in a good mood
And you're in a club mood
So let's just ride to this beat
I know what your wanting
I know what you need
I know what you're feeling so you're coming home with me, babe
I know what your wanting
I know what you need
I know what you're feeling
So c'mon and get it on...
So c'mon and get it on...
Save this up like the music
Cos I ain't got time
I can't wait for cupid
I got a feeling that you're feeling me
So Ima get you a drink on me
Sip slow 'cos the night is young
And so are you girl, have your fun
I'm over there if you need me though
'Cos that girl's looking thirsty yo..
She telling me that she's your friend
She looks good, yo, I can't pretend
She asked me for my number and
Told me to see her at the end
I know what your wanting
I know what you need
I know what you're feeling so you're coming home with me, babe
I know what your wanting
I know what you need
I know what you're feeling
So c'mon and get it on...
(C'mon and get it on...C'mon get it on)
I know what your wanting
I know what you need
I know what you're feeling
I know what you need
I know what you're feeling
I know what you're feeling
So C'mon Get It on
Yo, you need a beat, where the bass is raw
The kinda beat that the clubs look for
I see her and I can't ignore
The way she moves when she's all on the floor.
I move to the bar
I get drunk 'cos I don't have a car.
She gets drunk 'cos she thinks I'm a star
She likes B, I can tell by the car
See I'm having a good time
And I don't mind if she's winding and grinding on me
Now, baby I don't waste time
So give me your waistline
And let's just move to this beat.

'Cos I'm on the guestlist

Lyrics:
You might think I'm crazy but I'm serious
It's better you know now
What I thought was happiness was only part time bliss
You can take a bow
It was all just one big night out on the town
Riding in your limousine
We turned right and I said wrong which brings us to a stop
As the light is changing
Oh my meters running so I got to go now
It's the pleasure principle oh oh ohh
It's the principle of pleasure, ohh
It's the pleasure principle oh oh
It's true you want to build your life on guarantees
Hey, take a ride in a big yellow taxi
I'm not here to feed your insecurities
I wanted you to love me
This has become an all too familiar scene
It's not the first time I paid the fare
Where'd you get the idea of material possession?
Thank you for the ride nowhere
And oh my meters running so I've really got to go
It's the pleasure principle oh oh, oh hoo
It's the principle of pleasure
Ohh, ah
It's the pleasure principle oh oh, ohh, ah
I know, what you mean to me
Baby this is nowhere
You know what came in between you and me, human differential
Sa dat dit dit dit baby
It's the principle of pleasure
Oh, oh oh oh ah
It's the pleasure principle, principle
Oh oh oh oh, ah
You might say that I'm no good for you
I wouldn't trust your looks, baby, if I could
I got so many things I wanna do, before I'm through
Hey, da dit da dit dat baby
It's the pleasure principle
It's the pleasure principle
Hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey hey
It's the pleasure principle
Baby you can't hold me down
Baby you can't hold me down
After all the love that we've been through
After all you've put me through
Hey hey hey, yeah
Love me, hey yeah, love me, yeah!
Hoo ooh ooh ooh
It's the pleasure principle
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah!
Oh
Narcotic Thrust
Ever wondered what a Narcotic Thrust is? Fear not, it's not something spectacularly sinister or sexual, it is, in fact an anagram of Stuart Crichton, one half of the British dance music duo. Stuart and Andy Morris met in 1996 to produce 'Funky Acid Baby', which was petty much ignored.
Their breakthrough came with the track 'Safe From Harm', for which they hired Yvonne John Lewis on the vocals. 'Safe From Harm' is completely meaningful to the people on the dance floor and carries a captivating voice, it's a peak hour track yet not bangin'. Deep, groovy and driving bass line, with vocals and strings, and a trippy overall feeling, this track is almost the definition of 'Progressive House'. The difference between the several mixes is really subtle; the original being the 'flattest' one; the others nicely emphasize the 'housy' aspects. It went on to become my Tune of the Year 2002.

Kirilmam mi,darilmam mi of!
Kadersiz miyim neyim?
Oyuncagin miyim neyim?

Of of Kömür gibi yaniyorum

Of of Düslerime giriyorsun
Bi girdin mi cikmiyorsun

Dur dedigin yerde durdum
Bes para etmez dünyada
Güvendigim bir sen oldun
Olan yine bana oldu
Sana bir gün daha dogdu of!

Lyrics:
Especially for you
I want to let you know what I was going through
All the time we were apart
I thought of you
You were in my heart
My love never changed
I still feel the same
Especially for you
I want to tell you I was feeling that way too
And if dreams were wings, you know
I would have flown to you
To be where you are
No matter how far
And now that I'm next to you
No more dreaming about tomorrow
Forget the loneliness and the sorrow
I've got to say
It's all because of you
And now we're back together, together
I want to show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you
Especially for you
I want to tell you, you mean all the world to me
How I'm certain that our love was meant to be
You changed my life
You showed me the way
And now that I'm next to you
I've waited long enough to find you
I want to put all the hurt behind you
Oh,
And I want to bring out all the love inside you
Oh
And now we're back together, together
I want to show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you
You were in my heart
My love never changed
And now we're back together, together
I want to show you my heart is oh so true
And all the love I have is
Especially for you

Lyrics:
I saw you there, just standing there
And I thought I was only dreaming yeah
I kissed you then, then once again
You said you would come and dance with me
Dance with me across the sea
And we could feel the motion of a thousand dreams
Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning
Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling?
Ships at night give such delight
We all leave before the morning light
Please don't go no please don't go
Cause I don't want to stay here on my own
Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning
Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling?
Fever breathe your love on me (breathe your love)
Take away my name (take away)
Fever lay your hands on me (breathe your love)
Never be the same
Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning
Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling?
Oh, Doctor, doctor, can't you see I'm burning, burning
Oh, Doctor, doctor, is this love I'm feeling?
Come with me and make believe
We can travel to eternity

Lyrics:
Like a movie scene
In the sweetest dreams
I have pictured us together
Now to feel your lips
On my fingertips
I have to say is even better
Then I ever thought it could possibly be
It's perfect, it's passion, it's setting me free
From all of my sadness
The tears that I've cried
I have spent all of my life
Waiting for tonight, oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, oh
I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight
Tender words you say
Take my breath away
Love me now, leave me never
Found a sacred place
Lost in your embrace
I want to stay in this forever
I think of the days when the sun used to set
On my empty heart, all alone in my bed
Tossing and turning
Emotions were strong
I knew I had to hold on
Waiting for tonight, oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, oh
I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight
Waiting for tonight, oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, ohv I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight
Gone are the days when the sun used to set
On my empty heart all alone in my bed
Tossing and turning
Emotions were strong
I knew I had to hold on
Waiting for tonight, oh
When you would be here in my arms
Waiting for tonight, oh
I've dreamed of this love for so long
Waiting for tonight
