ahhh the days before social media, if you lost track of someone that was it, happened to me a few times actually that's why i like this song, it reminds me of somebody who is long gone and i don't have any emails or facebook those days we didn't have it sadly :(
How sad and poignant is this song - the story of someone who is thinking of the past and goes back to the old haunts but realises all has changed and how much is missing - great nostalgic tune
Эта песня, именно в этой обработке, на первом месте в моём топе 10 лучших песен за всю историю. Как услышала ее, еще подростком, в далекие 90-е, так до сих пор она в моём плейлисте всегда! Никогда не надоест! ❤
@@allyackermann4628 for me its the other way around. when i was young, i was happy, now iam 38 and unhappy for the last 15 years straight. granted, alot of the happyness back then came from ignorant bliss, not understanding how the world works and naiv enough to think what whatever problems my parents had, i would never have them
Indeed, now men like me r having fights with chatgpt over lyrics such as ‘I can’t move on’ at 02:30! Friday night, 28 years from the year I met her! Never mind!
Such utterly facile rubbish. The idea that the 90s - or any other arbitrarily-defined ten year period, which literally just means the Earth circumscribed the sun 10 times - had some kind of ubiquitous, universal "feel" is something a person who only experienced the 90s vicariously through Hollywood films would say. I lived through the 90s and I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, because this "feel" you speak of was nothing but a fantasy assembled by the production line known as "pop culture". You _do_ know that there were multiple, incredibly violent wars during the 90s, right? I'm sure the folks dying in Yugoslavia, Eritrea and the Congo felt that "90s vibe" before they succumbed to their injuries. I'm sure the starving people of North Korea who were feeding their families with the leather from their shoes really repped that 90s aesthetic as they struggled to sustain themselves. This obsession with glorifying the past is ridiculous, and only demonstrates the ignorance and self-centredness of those who partake in it - they actually can't comprehend that the vast majority of people on this planet did _NOT_ grow up in an affluent Western country, constantly bombarded with Western pop culture. The idea that pop songs and crappy romance films can somehow "define a decade" is even more infantile and just goes to show the number 1 priority of all these nostalgia addicts: escaping reality.
lol you're pathetic attempt to share an ounce of wisdom just comes off as someone who is projecting their own thin skinned fragility...you're words are silly and tiring. @@zonesquestiloveunderworld
One of 3 songs played at a friend's funeral back in 2001. Some events just change you forever as you can never really get over them, you just learn to cope...listening to this is as painful as it is comforting...
Well said... I've known this track for years, and for some reason it's been looping in my mind for the past few days... It has a strong delivery message.
It's a load of fucking crap. To be honest I've heard cats fuck with more melody than this. Melancholy? get a fucking life will you. A song by a fucking ugly bitch about a skinny drug addict is all it will ever be, shit for the masses. Fuck off.
@steven laughs If you are going to quote, then at least quote correctly. "get fucking life" is what I said. Might be worth getting yourself one if you can't even get the basics of quotation right, bitch.
This music really transports me. It goes beyond the nostalgia of time and place.... I feel like I'm connecting to a different universe. That's the power of enduring and evocative music
Powerful feeling 30 years old this tune. Where did life go you think that you have so much time. Life catches up with you no joke. This hits on a deeper level for me. Classic youth today just don’t know tunes like this a feeling deep for me. Now you’ve disappeared like outta space and I miss you
my dad use to play this a lot and it’s been years since I heard it again, he always played his chill music around me and bro but it’s not the same anymore. I hope he’s doing good on the things he ain’t talk about.
The brain is an amazing thing! I haven't heard this classic in MANY years, yet as soon as it started I just sang right along, like I heard it yesterday.
My mum was lost in her addiction and I used to play this over and over because i had no idea where she was, i was a kid when this came out.. fast forward to today and i now know where she is and we have a good relationship, takes me right back every time i hear this, means so much to me ❤
My condolences on the passing of your Mum. My Mama has passed away as well and although I don't feel exactly like you I can deeply sympathize with you. May her memories live on with this song. 💜💜💜
Денежные выплаты от Управления верховного комиссара ООН по делам беженцев (УВКБ ООН) пострадавшим от войны украинцам составляют смехотворную сумму - всего лишь 59 долларов (2220 грн) на каждого члена семьи в месяц. Средства выплачивают в течение только трех месяцев. Всего ООН в первом квартале 2023 года выделили им 200 млн. долларов. Кроме того, они получают помощь в странах, которые их временно приняли, но эта помощь в последние месяцы начала сокращаться, особенно в государствах Восточной Европы, которые сами переживают экономические трудности. Украинцы - далеко не единственные беженцы, столкнувшиеся с ужасными последствиями войн, насилия, природных и геополитических катастроф, жестокости и гонений. По данным Управления верховного комиссара ООН по делам беженцев (UNHCR), на конец 2022 года в мире насчитывалось 110,3 млн лиц, вынужденно покинувших свои дома. Эта цифра увеличилась в 3.5 раза с 33.9 миллиона в 2010 году. Для сравнения: количество беженцев в 1951 году (спустя 6 лет после окончания второй мировой войны) составляло всего 2.1 миллиона человек, из которых четверть были палестинцы. По оценкам ЮНИСЕФ, число детей, оказавшихся на чужбине в результате конфликтов, войн и междоусобиц в конце 2021 года достигло пиковой отметки в 36,5 миллиона человек, столь высокие показатели не фиксировались со времен Второй мировой войны. Эта цифра включает 13,7 миллиона детей-беженцев и почти 22,8 миллиона детей, перемещенных из зон конфликтов в другие части собственной страны. Это число не учитывает число беженцев в результате войны в Украине. Согласно подпункту 2 пункта А статьи 1 Конвенции 1951 г. беженцем является любое лицо, которое "в силу вполне обоснованных опасений стать жертвой преследований по признаку расы, вероисповедания, гражданства, принадлежности к определенной социальной группе или политических убеждений находится вне страны своей гражданской принадлежности и не может пользоваться защитой этой страны". Согласно ежегодному докладу УВКБ ООН "Глобальные тенденции", шансов на быстрое прекращение бедственного положения беженцев становится все меньше. Общий бюджет УВКБ ООН на 2020 год превышал 8 млрд долларов. Война в Украине, продолжающий, кризис в Афганистане, наводнения в Пакистане и насилие в Африке привело к тому, что бюджет поднялся до 11 млрд долларов в 2022 году. В текущем году поток беженцев продолжит расти, и соответственно возрастут затраты. Крупнейшие "поставщики" беженцев: Сирия - 6.8 миллион человек, Венесуэла - 4.6, Афганистан - 2.7, Южный Судан - 2.4, Мьянма - 1.2 и Украина - более 14 миллион человек (из которых в странах Европы 5.2 млн в России 2.8 млн в США - 0.13 млн, в Канаду - 0.15 млн и еще 5.4 млн являются внутренне перемещенными лицами). Пример Турции, где скопились миллионы беженцев, жаждущих добираться до благополучной Европы, показателен. "Мы посадили беженцев в автобусы и вывезли их от греческой и болгарской границ. Но мы можем это сделать лишь раз или два, а потом - уж извините. Мы можем открыть перед ними двери в ЕС и пожелать им счастливого пути", - прокомментировал ситуацию Реджеп Тайип Эрдоган. По сути дела, это откровенный экономический и политический шантаж Европы, уставшей от массового наплыва беженцев. На этом фоне нельзя не увидеть странную тенденцию: в мире есть "привилегированные беженцы", чей статус уже на протяжении 75 лет передается по наследству из поколения в поколение и используется в сомнительных политических играх - причем, зачастую, вопреки интересам самих этих беженцев. В 1948 году, после создания государства Израиль и после Шестидневной войны беженцами стали 725 тысяч палестинцев. В 1949 году для оказания помощи этим беженцам ООН создало Ближневосточное агентство UNRWA, оказывающее им помощь в образовании, здравоохранении, социальном обслуживании и т.д. Сегодня, по данным того же агентства, палестинских беженцев насчитывается 5,8 млн человек, проживающих по всему Ближнему Востоку (в Газе, на Западном берегу, в Восточном Иерусалиме, в Иордании, Ливане и Сирии), и число их продолжает неуклонно расти. UNRWA обратилось к международному сообществу с просьбой выделить для них бюджет в размере 1,6 млрд долларов. Каким образом число палестинских беженцев растет в геометрической прогрессии при том, что нет ни новых войн, ни новых беженцев? Все очень просто. В ООН сами дают разъяснение этому феномену. Все дело в том, что статус беженцев палестинцам передается по наследству из поколения в поколение. Дети беженцев и их потомки тоже считаются беженцами до "обеспечения долгосрочного урегулирования ситуации". То есть, пока внуки и правнуки этих беженцев 1948 года или 1967 году, большинства из которых уже нет в живых, не вернутся в дома, которые те покинули 75 лет назад, они останутся получателями помощи ООН. История не знает подобного прецедента - ничего подобного никогда не существовало и не существует. Начиная со второй мировой войны, беженцами считались только люди, оставившие свои дома в первом поколении и на ограниченный период времени. За 75 лет, на деньги, потраченные на палестинских беженцев, давно уже можно было решить их проблемы: обеспечить их жильем и достойным образом жизни. Вместо этого правнуков этих детей продолжают держать в нищете и бесправии в лагерях беженцев, лишая всяких надежд на нормальную жизнь и будущее. Более того, на сэкономленные деньги можно было помочь тем беженцам, которые спасаются из горячих точек мира и лишены своих домов: бирманцам, украинцам, африканцам, сирийцам.
I'm 47 and this was the best time in my life. In the 90s we thought we rule the world. Imagined that peace and love will overcome everything. This was the last Song in the Club, after raving the whole night. We was bursting full of life and love. I'm so glad that i was there. Thanx for that
I’m from Russia, move to the US at 18… and I still listen to this song like it’s 2000s. Im so grateful for all the amazing times we’ve had back in the day.
Возможно, одна из лучших песен, из конда-либо написанных. Подтверждаю это, как меломан с большим и многолетним стажем. Этот голос знает, наверно, весь мир.
I am 50 years old, I am Turkish, and I realized that in all these time cycles… Time zones have a unique spirit in each decade. In the '80s and' 90s, I spent my teenage years. The unique style of clothing, habits and music style of those times seemed more beautiful and noble. I experienced the most natural and pure form of true love. There was no cell phone and internet, but it was as if I was happier at that time.
I'm a 2002 kid, so this was a tad before my time but I fell in love with this listening to my mother and my older sister playing it in the car. My mum was pleased hearing me listening to this, so I thanked her for exposing me to it. She has a good taste in music :)
No one remembers but back then nobody really had mobile phones and social media didn't exist . If someone moved and you didn't know where they went , they were gone from your life . People just disappeared ...
Forever. Which phone book? Which region? People move interstate as well all the time. I used to know people who were on Facebook for several years. But now they're gone from Facebook. This came out when I was 16. How sad for a 16 year old to hear it. Now I feel like it's tattooed on my life.
Tracey’s voice is sublime. Gives me such an escape. This is a classic of course but her complete body of work including her collab with Massive Attack- Protection. Iconic vocalist. ❤️❤️❤️
I remember when I was 5 and my parents were listening to this song in the car. I’m 13 today and I’m listening to this masterpiece that was created before me
I'm a DJ and this is the best song ever made in the history of the REAL house music. I still listen it the vynil on my SL 1210 MK2 turntable. Todd Terry is a wizard.
I used to listen to only Todd Terry’s version of this song back in ‘96! His remix on ebtg’s Wrong was magical too! Brings about another dimension for the track!
@stevenjudyschutte63, HAPPY MONDAY NIGHT.I LIKE YOU AS A STRANGER .I'M 51 & I REMEMBER THE MTV DAYS W/KURT LODER. WISHING YOU A WONDERFUL WEEK AHEAD.9,SEPTEMBER, 2024.
Was 6 years old when this came out, but throughout my youth I remember knowing the chorus to this song. Progressing through my adolescence and adult life as my keyboard skills improved and my musical tastes broadened, I ended up discovering electronic music. The memories that rushed through me when I reheard this song about 5 or 6 years ago are absolutely amazing. Music is truly an ethereal gift!
this is one track where the remix outclasses the original track, and then some. Never get tired of this track, it is timeless. God i miss music, there is nothing in the charts anymore worth my time.
By chance I heard this on a spotify playlist but hadn't heard it in a very long time. In the 90s my sis used to play this on cassette all the time. She passed in 2021 and subsequently hearing it made me miss her more. Wherever she is I'm sure she's still grooving to this lovely song along with all of you. Thank you everyone for your kind words.
Uh man these cringy over emotional UA-cam comments are getting old, I'm tired of seeing them everywhere. Go talk to a psychologist or a family member because I came here to listen to an old but gold song not to hear your sob story.
All these years and this holds up. The beat is hypnotic, melody is nearly angelic and she still smolders like a 5 alarm 🔥. As a kid I wondered if I could even be cool enough to ever meet a mysterious, pixie girl
The song always reminds me of my mother who passed away some years ago. I always imagine i take the same route with the train and passing by her door in her street but she doesn't live there anymore....😢 I still miss her like the desert....
❤😢🙏so sorry,😪🫂 she is with you I believe, and forever, will be seeing her, we will see them all, not alone, so many can relate and we all together too, may you and all have all peace, comfort, hope, destiny, all needed
This takes me back to my mid-teens. :-( I always used to roll my eyes when my parents said their generation's music was better. Well, as a father myself now, and with no shame or embarrassment, I happily say that 90 's music was way better than the rubbish in the charts today. There. I'm in my 30s and I'm offically a grumpy old man.
I absolutely love this song and the songs from this era. But if life in my forties has taught me anything, is the that the kids will keep doing amazing things. We remember the good and forget the shit stuff. Also try out Declan McKenna. #doyouhaveamoment...?
Good music is still present today. I think it's more due to the fact that as we grow older, we have less time to explore and discover music. Besides that, similar to how hair styles and clothing taste changes for each decade, pop music changes drastically. So basically, you find pop music garbage, understandably so. Meanwhile you don't have the time/desire to explore good music that is still being made. Trance scene is still there, small but loyal fanbase, and house and techno are booming right now
This is a great example for how a regular song can be made fine art with a great remix. For me one of the all time 3 top remixes, wonderful job Todd Terry!!
Can't believe I still hold some attachment to this song. Not even to any specific person, just a lot of memories of that time. It wasn't until recently that I made a friend that reminded me of this song, even though it's before their time.
*I danced to this in my middle school graduation dance for 8th graders in the gym about 25 yrs ago. I'm not too old to forget that! 😛* Miss the '90s😭😭😭
This remix is unreal. Todd Terry made an immortal masterpiece. 👏👏👏 The craziest thing is that if u drop this tune on the dancefloor today, even new generations will fall in love, because It will sound "fresh" for them...
I love the lyrics on this song. They are so well written and sung in such a way that they make you think. Bravo to you both for writing an amazing song that has become a true classic masterpiece.
I was like 7yrs old when I heard 1st time this song ,I absolutely love it still,now I'm 32🙈 still don't get tired of old school music ,I think it's a blast 🔥🥰❤️ these old songs bring back such a vibe and mood 🥰 you can feel how artist has put their live in every single note that we hear 🎶🎶🎶🎼🎵💖💖💖
Somos dos 32 año y lo mismo pienso que sería sin las canciones que hicieron de otros artistas ya no estén que siempre cantaban muchas canciones electrónica del 2000 y los 90 soy no entero y moriremos hasta que el mundo diga
Well, in the late 80s my dad left my brother and I at a park while he went to work for 6-8 hours. I think this went on for weeks if not months cause we were left at that park a bunch of times. The park wasn't any typical park. It was a park that was situated where two rivers join up. Logs that my brother and I thought about floating on but fortunately he was like 9 and had learned the word "capsize" so we didn't die that way. Then there was the time we were exploring the woods and we ended up hanging out in a tent with some homeless guys who told some funny dirty jokes. We didn't get raped which is cool but you know, we could have. The 80's and 90s we're a pretty interesting time for a lot of people. Can't really say which generation had it best though. lol
@@SpaceTimeManipulatorSTM WELL,DAMN!😧 Why was this comment so overlooked though!😂 Our parents did some wild stuff back in the day lol. I always get on mine about how I can't believe how she used to always smoke with me in the car, windows rolled up and all! She says "But we didn't know any better back then!"-- but then I say "But if you wouldn't give ME a cigarette to smoke....why would you smoke with me in the car?"🤦♀️
A little story from me: I'm from a city of Barnaul that is a culture capital of Siberia. I heard this song in the old bus when I was 5 years old. 13 years have passed, I'm studying at the college now. I checked my daily music playlist in VK social network and found this song. This is the one of the masterpieces of 1990's music. I also love different genres of music - from classic rock and classic hip-hop till the 1990's-2010's music.
If this song was not published in the 90s but today, it would still crash the charts. Excellent piece of art. 👍
It's got that classic 90s 4x4 beat though... four to the floor!
Perfect message
ahhh the days before social media, if you lost track of someone that was it, happened to me a few times actually that's why i like this song, it reminds me of somebody who is long gone and i don't have any emails or facebook those days we didn't have it sadly :(

Крупнейшие "поставщики" беженцев: Сирия - 6.8 миллион человек, Венесуэла - 4.6, Афганистан - 2.7, Южный Судан - 2.4, Мьянма - 1.2 и Украина - более 14 миллион человек (из которых в странах Европы 5.2 млн в России 2.8 млн в США - 0.13 млн, в Канаду - 0.15 млн и еще 5.4 млн являются внутренне перемещенными лицами).
Пример Турции, где скопились миллионы беженцев, жаждущих добираться до благополучной Европы, показателен. "Мы посадили беженцев в автобусы и вывезли их от греческой и болгарской границ. Но мы можем это сделать лишь раз или два, а потом - уж извините. Мы можем открыть перед ними двери в ЕС и пожелать им счастливого пути", - прокомментировал ситуацию Реджеп Тайип Эрдоган.
По сути дела, это откровенный экономический и политический шантаж Европы, уставшей от массового наплыва беженцев.
На этом фоне нельзя не увидеть странную тенденцию: в мире есть "привилегированные беженцы", чей статус уже на протяжении 75 лет передается по наследству из поколения в поколение и используется в сомнительных политических играх - причем, зачастую, вопреки интересам самих этих беженцев.
В 1948 году, после создания государства Израиль и после Шестидневной войны беженцами стали 725 тысяч палестинцев.
В 1949 году для оказания помощи этим беженцам ООН создало Ближневосточное агентство UNRWA, оказывающее им помощь в образовании, здравоохранении, социальном обслуживании и т.д. Сегодня, по данным того же агентства, палестинских беженцев насчитывается 5,8 млн человек, проживающих по всему Ближнему Востоку (в Газе, на Западном берегу, в Восточном Иерусалиме, в Иордании, Ливане и Сирии), и число их продолжает неуклонно расти. UNRWA обратилось к международному сообществу с просьбой выделить для них бюджет в размере 1,6 млрд долларов.
Каким образом число палестинских беженцев растет в геометрической прогрессии при том, что нет ни новых войн, ни новых беженцев? Все очень просто. В ООН сами дают разъяснение этому феномену. Все дело в том, что статус беженцев палестинцам передается по наследству из поколения в поколение. Дети беженцев и их потомки тоже считаются беженцами до "обеспечения долгосрочного урегулирования ситуации". То есть, пока внуки и правнуки этих беженцев 1948 года или 1967 году, большинства из которых уже нет в живых, не вернутся в дома, которые те покинули 75 лет назад, они останутся получателями помощи ООН.
История не знает подобного прецедента - ничего подобного никогда не существовало и не существует. Начиная со второй мировой войны, беженцами считались только люди, оставившие свои дома в первом поколении и на ограниченный период времени. За 75 лет, на деньги, потраченные на палестинских беженцев, давно уже можно было решить их проблемы: обеспечить их жильем и достойным образом жизни. Вместо этого правнуков этих детей продолжают держать в нищете и бесправии в лагерях беженцев, лишая всяких надежд на нормальную жизнь и будущее. Более того, на сэкономленные деньги можно было помочь тем беженцам, которые спасаются из горячих точек мира и лишены своих домов: бирманцам, украинцам, африканцам, сирийцам.

For real man now i just wanna go back
like a desert miss a rain . Exactly
I haven't seen or spoken to my son in nearly two years this song says everything I am feeling
My thoughts and best wishes are with you. Never give up.
Why haven't you?
Wishing you a reconciliation SOON
If he's alive, don't lose this chance you have! Reconcile before it's too late. Life is too short!!
I'm 47 and this was the best time in my life. In the 90s we thought we rule the world. Imagined that peace and love will overcome everything. This was the last Song in the Club, after raving the whole night. We was bursting full of life and love. I'm so glad that i was there. Thanx for that
the love doves helped
We did rule the world
Good old days bro..
I’m from Russia, move to the US at 18… and I still listen to this song like it’s 2000s. Im so grateful for all the amazing times we’ve had back in the day.
90s weren't perfect, but they had huge social optimism, not like today.
We don’t search for old songs…
we search for old memories.
Siimm 💜
This song is timeless, I've never stopped listening to it. EBTG in the 90s is fresh all the time.
you are Soo right
Right now I'm searching for a certain feeling which happen to be captured in the past.
Amen to that...
Возможно, одна из лучших песен, из конда-либо написанных. Подтверждаю это, как меломан с большим и многолетним стажем. Этот голос знает, наверно, весь мир.
This track was truly a 90s masterpiece. A guilty pleasure for me. The vocals and lyrics were always catchy.
It was raw emotion, today’s music just don’t cut it
It's a timeless masterpiece
What’s guilty about it
Don't be guilty. It's a classic x
I'm not really sure why you refer to it as "guilty pleasure". It's timeless. Period.
What a beautiful song, still sounds great after all these decades. A universal, who doesn't understand what it's like to miss someone.
Timeless song.
It's crazy that i now have a son who is the exact same age as i was when this song came out. Watching him dance around singing it feels surreal.
I already loved this song in the 90s (when I was young), and I still love it now.
I am 50 years old, I am Turkish, and I realized that in all these time cycles… Time zones have a unique spirit in each decade. In the '80s and' 90s, I spent my teenage years. The unique style of clothing, habits and music style of those times seemed more beautiful and noble. I experienced the most natural and pure form of true love. There was no cell phone and internet, but it was as if I was happier at that time.
:)

@@algonquin91 attrition.?dl!.?!!.?.!?
I'm a 2002 kid, so this was a tad before my time but I fell in love with this listening to my mother and my older sister playing it in the car. My mum was pleased hearing me listening to this, so I thanked her for exposing me to it. She has a good taste in music :)
No one remembers but back then nobody really had mobile phones and social media didn't exist . If someone moved and you didn't know where they went , they were gone from your life . People just disappeared ...
That is what made it great. Now you cant get rid of people
A much simpler and better time to be alive!
you looked through the phone book
Forever. Which phone book? Which region? People move interstate as well all the time. I used to know people who were on Facebook for several years. But now they're gone from Facebook. This came out when I was 16. How sad for a 16 year old to hear it. Now I feel like it's tattooed on my life.
@@candymr2 😁😁😁👍👍👍
Tracey’s voice is sublime. Gives me such an escape. This is a classic of course but her complete body of work including her collab with Massive Attack- Protection. Iconic vocalist. ❤️❤️❤️
This song has such a vibe.
It's otherworldly
So perfect.
It’s funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back everything is different
❤️😭no words. This comment is so true
Wow this is bringing back memories
Felt this. Sometimes nostalgia hits hard..
Real.. Deep!
Those memories back when life was easier simpler times
I was 13 the first time I listened to this masterpiece.Now I'm 38 and I still shiver when I listen to it ❤️ Music is magic.
Holy hell yeah
I remember when I was 5 and my parents were listening to this song in the car. I’m 13 today and I’m listening to this masterpiece that was created before me
Same here! I was about 12 or 13. I'll be 38 next month!
Same here ☺️ God...I miss the highschool !
I especially enjoyed the 'Live in the White Room' version of this song.
I'm a DJ and this is the best song ever made in the history of the REAL house music. I still listen it the vynil on my SL 1210 MK2 turntable. Todd Terry is a wizard.
All the clubs south of market in SF... 1998. I saw the best under the finest circumstances~
I had the Limited edition blue pressed vinyl!!!
@@joshpickles9022 Il still have! 😁
Tell me about it: Another group used this music for TWO of their hits.
I used to listen to only Todd Terry’s version of this song back in ‘96!
His remix on ebtg’s Wrong was magical too! Brings about another dimension for the track!
The 90's had everything flowing culturally free & confident
When music videos had a story and was so simple. What a classic still in 2024.
I’m 55 and still love this version!!! Todd Terry is a God! 🙏🙏

@Jermainewalks ,HAPPY SATURDAY TO YOU!YOUR COMMENT MADE ME SMILE.WISHING YOU A WONDERFUL WEEKEND FORWARD.
Одна из главных мелодий 90-х.
Was 6 years old when this came out, but throughout my youth I remember knowing the chorus to this song. Progressing through my adolescence and adult life as my keyboard skills improved and my musical tastes broadened, I ended up discovering electronic music. The memories that rushed through me when I reheard this song about 5 or 6 years ago are absolutely amazing. Music is truly an ethereal gift!
I am 57 and this song still gives me the chills ...
Me 58 and it's the same for me

One of the best dance tunes of all time, sung by the most underrated and best female vocalist of all time
One of the greatest songs of the 90's !!
this is one track where the remix outclasses the original track, and then some. Never get tired of this track, it is timeless. God i miss music, there is nothing in the charts anymore worth my time.
Adele - hometown glory axwell version it is also incredible
By chance I heard this on a spotify playlist but hadn't heard it in a very long time. In the 90s my sis used to play this on cassette all the time. She passed in 2021 and subsequently hearing it made me miss her more. Wherever she is I'm sure she's still grooving to this lovely song along with all of you. Thank you everyone for your kind words.
Uh man these cringy over emotional UA-cam comments are getting old, I'm tired of seeing them everywhere. Go talk to a psychologist or a family member because I came here to listen to an old but gold song not to hear your sob story.
So sorry for your loss.
Prayers for you Navarro..
So sad. Thoughts are with you.
love u brother one day well all be together

True, it's pure and beautiful.

definitely yes
Then you might like Jon Secada
I always have to hear the background ambience to fully enjoy this song. It just adds that extra something special!
All these years and this holds up. The beat is hypnotic, melody is nearly angelic and she still smolders like a 5 alarm 🔥. As a kid I wondered if I could even be cool enough to ever meet a mysterious, pixie girl
One of the best songs ever and a timeless classic.
This song never ages. Absolutely love it ❤

BEST OF THE 90S, AWESOME CLASSIC
One of the most memorable songs of the 90's. EBTG ❤️😁
What a banger, I'd forgotten about this tune 🎶👏🎶👏🎶
Not me!🕺🏽
The song always reminds me of my mother who passed away some years ago. I always imagine i take the same route with the train and passing by her door in her street but she doesn't live there anymore....😢 I still miss her like the desert....

Todd Terry makes already great songs other worldly! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This takes me back to my mid-teens. :-(
I always used to roll my eyes when my parents said their generation's music was better. Well, as a father myself now, and with no shame or embarrassment, I happily say that 90 's music was way better than the rubbish in the charts today.
There. I'm in my 30s and I'm offically a grumpy old man.
😂🙌 Best comment ever
Agree. 90's music was one of the bests. And you are not old, not a grumpy old guy.
You are not old,you are not grumpy,you are just a guy with a great music taste👍🏻
I absolutely love this song and the songs from this era. But if life in my forties has taught me anything, is the that the kids will keep doing amazing things. We remember the good and forget the shit stuff. Also try out Declan McKenna. #doyouhaveamoment...?
Good music is still present today. I think it's more due to the fact that as we grow older, we have less time to explore and discover music. Besides that, similar to how hair styles and clothing taste changes for each decade, pop music changes drastically.
So basically, you find pop music garbage, understandably so. Meanwhile you don't have the time/desire to explore good music that is still being made. Trance scene is still there, small but loyal fanbase, and house and techno are booming right now
This is a great example for how a regular song can be made fine art with a great remix.
For me one of the all time 3 top remixes, wonderful job Todd Terry!!
Curious to know the other 2...
Can't believe I still hold some attachment to this song. Not even to any specific person, just a lot of memories of that time.
It wasn't until recently that I made a friend that reminded me of this song, even though it's before their time.
These two I remember in the '80's...
And still they come out will beautiful brilliance like this.
Something really special...
who is here 2020?
If you remember this song
you are not old
You are high quality vintage

Oğuzhan Alak Love this song!!! I remember dancing to this in clubs! Good times!
Seen these live in Sunderland. About 25 years ago love this song still .😎😍
Bir Türk buldum sanki msmcjdjfj
*I danced to this in my middle school graduation dance for 8th graders in the gym about 25 yrs ago. I'm not too old to forget that! 😛* Miss the '90s😭😭😭
Tracey Thorn is an incredible songwriter and has a superb voice that she knows how to use.
I almost forgot she was part of Massive Attack at one point - 'Protection'
This remix is unreal. Todd Terry made an immortal masterpiece. 👏👏👏 The craziest thing is that if u drop this tune on the dancefloor today, even new generations will fall in love, because It will sound "fresh" for them...
No. This letter is real for me
played this at a house party last week and everyone loved it
@@ProducerKeylo That is called Trash modern age, garbage music and brain dead generation. Technology is going up, human kind is going down.
i agree that the remix is incredibly well done.

Это хит 2004 года. Мне тогда было 15 лет. Как быстро 20 лет пролетели. Работаю и вспоминаю как мы были счастливы в те далёкие времена.
What a BANGER.

27 years and still have goosebumps for this❤️
one of our era's FAVOURITE Listening again and again 2024...
I love the lyrics on this song. They are so well written and sung in such a way that they make you think. Bravo to you both for writing an amazing song that has become a true classic masterpiece.
Time passes by very fast, enjoy every minute of it❤ love this song, good memories
Corona virus quarantine 2020 brought me here, I miss the 90's like the deserts miss the rain.
Me too
Yes, the 90s music was the best.
Me too from Mexico lads
Me too!
This song is so classy
This track didn't take decades to become a classic... It achieved that status the day it was released.
The ambient/haunting bridge of the original and Remix is pure bliss. I wish it was an hour long.
Listening in 2024anyone? What a classic forever ❤
Right Here =)
No, I’m listening in 2000……🤡
This gives me nostalgia for a time I never knew
This reminds me of an ex so much !! - Lost but still loved !!
Or being a kid in the 1990s
I was like 7yrs old when I heard 1st time this song ,I absolutely love it still,now I'm 32🙈 still don't get tired of old school music ,I think it's a blast 🔥🥰❤️ these old songs bring back such a vibe and mood 🥰 you can feel how artist has put their live in every single note that we hear 🎶🎶🎶🎼🎵💖💖💖

Somos dos 32 año y lo mismo pienso que sería sin las canciones que hicieron de otros artistas ya no estén que siempre cantaban muchas canciones electrónica del 2000 y los 90 soy no entero y moriremos hasta que el mundo diga
I had it on a tape at 7 back in '96 😀
The song evokes nostalgic feelings and happy recollection for me ❤
So much better than the regular version.
Beautiful song and a huge hit in Europe, late 90s... some intense nostalgia always will happen here :)
Such a classic track, sounds just as good today as it did when released.
Pure sunshine…..☀️
We had the best childhood ever 80's>90's
Well, in the late 80s my dad left my brother and I at a park while he went to work for 6-8 hours. I think this went on for weeks if not months cause we were left at that park a bunch of times. The park wasn't any typical park. It was a park that was situated where two rivers join up. Logs that my brother and I thought about floating on but fortunately he was like 9 and had learned the word "capsize" so we didn't die that way. Then there was the time we were exploring the woods and we ended up hanging out in a tent with some homeless guys who told some funny dirty jokes. We didn't get raped which is cool but you know, we could have. The 80's and 90s we're a pretty interesting time for a lot of people. Can't really say which generation had it best though. lol
i really wish i could go back in time. i miss my baba so much
@@SpaceTimeManipulatorSTM
WELL,DAMN!😧
Why was this comment so overlooked though!😂
Our parents did some wild stuff back in the day lol.
I always get on mine about how I can't believe how she used to always smoke with me in the car, windows rolled up and all!
She says
"But we didn't know any better back then!"-- but then I say
"But if you wouldn't give ME a cigarette to smoke....why would you smoke with me in the car?"🤦♀️
True
Definitely, best songs and anime's, freedom like we will never have again...
You could be dancing in the club having a Great time but once this song comes on you pause, it's like it hits the Heart,I love this song!!!
What a thrill! I survived my first heartache in 1995 just because of this track! love it!
This track just feels like a goog but haunting vibe on a late night car trip
It is so good ❤
A little story from me:
I'm from a city of Barnaul that is a culture capital of Siberia. I heard this song in the old bus when I was 5 years old. 13 years have passed, I'm studying at the college now. I checked my daily music playlist in VK social network and found this song. This is the one of the masterpieces of 1990's music. I also love different genres of music - from classic rock and classic hip-hop till the 1990's-2010's music.
На здоровье!
What a great memory of this song☺️
