      nobody has to produce stuff like this again, its already been produced in an era im glad i lived in. no phone cams, dark night clubs and really good music. Every generation says the same but all envy the 90s trance scene

    haven't heard this in many years. it just brought tears to my eyes. reminds me so much of my youth and the days of glorious anthem trance and the giant outdoor raves and all the incredible lights and thousands of people bouncing in rhythmic synchronization. the nights that never ended. the weekends that never ended. pounding trance taking the longest trip through the hallways of my mind.

It has brought so many memories of when times where perfect, of times before social media, driving around with friends listing to music. Going to music festivals and clubs with out a care in the world. Those feeling shot back when this song came on. Life is good, music makes it better through the music we live

    I could not agree more with every single one of you. Anyone who was clubbing in the UK between 96-03 will totally get it. This period in my life although it was a haze of wild 😜 weekends of total madness and debauchery I would not change it for the world it’s made me who I am today and I cemented amazing friendships with people in these clubs who are still close friends with me today some sadly are no longer here you know who they are ❤️The Trance era and generation got to experience something that only happens once in a lifetime any kids reading this won’t understand. We were like one big family every weekend filling the likes of Gatecrasher,Cream,Gods Kitchen,Passion and those who were hard core enough would then go on to Sundissential to continue the Madness until Monday morning it was just epic times and I feel blessed to have been a part of it I am 42 next month and still feel all different emotions when I hear these tunes because they still take you back to where you were and who you were with it would be so amazing to just go back in time and relive it again just for one night mind you it would take me a month to get over the come down haha 😂 stay safe my fellow Trance generation from Coronavirus 😷 x

It doesn't even seem real that it's been that long ago now but....these days stay still SO close to me as if I were hanging onto both my past and my future.... We went through a very temporary time rift or warp into a place that was so very special if for only a little while. When I die I hope to regain the happiness of these blissful days.

    Well, this tune here will forever remind me of the Doncaster warehouse in 1999.
    Everyone would get up for this one. I close my eyes and I'm stood on that dancefloor. The smoke machine is in full effect and I can hardly see the person in front of me, but I can hear hundreds of feet stomping on the floor in unison. MAGIC!

    Still the best remix of this. One of the best trance songs ever, original is good and the tidy revamps are awesome. Wid and Ben remix but technikal remix probably tops the modern remixes. Still this version brings back so many memories for me and still adore it

    Looked for the lyrics to this. Several sites said it was unknown. I admit, it's a bit hard to understand. But I found it, finally.
