    Earlier this year, Above & Beyond performed some of their best-loved songs acoustically as part of a 15-piece band, across four sold out shows at London's famous Porchester Hall. The response from fans was overwhelming and led to two sold-out nights at The Greek Theater in Los Angeles in October, described by Billboard Magazine as "one of the finest and more memorable shows in EDM history."
    Above & Beyond partnered with THUMP on the production and filming of the London shows to create a concert film that captures the Porchester Hall performances and the story behind the acoustic project. The songs performed at Porchester Hall also form the basis of the "Above & Beyond Acoustic" studio album, which was recorded in the spring and summer of 2013 and features a 24-piece orchestra.

    This song is a symphony of emotions. People who missed their chance to be with their only true love will feel the burn inside, while listening to it.

    There was a time, there was a place
    But there was fear inside
    A witty line to save my face
    A parachute of pride
    To cross the line takes a tiny step
    But will the spark cause the bridge to burn
    My fear entwined with my regret
    I beat a path for safe return
    So here we are, we're just the same
    And you will never know
    My secret plan, how close we came
    To share another road
    And have I lost my only chance
    To tell you how I feel inside?
    Is it just me, I'd like to know
    Or are we all just a little blind?
    There's a thing called love that we all forget
    And it's a wasted love that we all regret
    You live your life just once
    So don't forget, forget about a thing called LOVE

    I swear, Alex Vargas on this song and "Sun and Moon" and Ashley Tomberlin on "Can't Sleep" off Tri-State can seriously make me curl up and cry like a child. This just broke me down and built me right back up. Never heard A&B acoustic before but my god.....

    First of all, my English isn't really good, hope you guys could understand what I'm writing here.
    I saw someone being really rude here. How come you guys did that while listening to this good song? Whatever the reason of coming here, we should be polite, right? Whoever your idol is, we should be respect, right? Sooo many singer in this world, we shouldn't expect anyone to know your idol,even how famous he/she is in your country or all over the world, because someone may really don't know.
    Hope my English level won't misunderstood anyone of you.
    Finally, guys be peace and listen to this beautiful song.

    The acoustic version is simply the best. This song means a lot to me. It was this song that gave me the strength and courage to ask this girl out and tell her about my feelings for her. Unfortunately she changed her mind and now she ignores me. However I still believe that she will change her mind again - this time for the good of both of us. I would just like to say one big "thank you" to Above & Beyond for making such good and positive music. It sure helps me get through some dark days in my life. But love will be back, someday, anyday, maybe even today :)

These guys are unbelievable and proper artist who know their stuff. All those stupid people who put their thumbs down are all crazy and have no clue in music and the rave music scene.... They are proper musicians and one of best DJ's around the world catering people from all ages, from all walks of life around the world and having sell out gigs.. Truly Masters of their craft!

    This version is extraordinarily beautiful and meaningful. Listening to the one with Richard Bedford I am thinking - why would you do something like that to such a pristine song?!...
    These lyrics deserve to be sang just like guys did it here, classy and touching. That's the way to go!

    • @jakejones1955
      @jakejones1955 10 років тому
