@DjMattJolly "Ligaya" means "Happiness" in Tagalog, an Austronesian language spoken as a first language by a third of the population of the Philippines. Ferry's wife is from the Philippines ;-) [FC MGMT]
What the flying F???? All these years I'd been listening to Ferry... I just found out now he's married to a filipina... I've always wondered if he traveled to the Philippines and somehow was inspired and titled this classic trance hit... "Ligaya" ... mind blown today...
Dear Ferry, want U listen to somme of my amateur tracks. I can produce so many and various trance amazing melodies ... My computer and my head are full of sound projects but there no one to listen 😓 m.soundcloud.com/kaissous/amazonian-whispers
This is my life's anthem. Listen to it every time I face a formidable challenge - taking a life changing exam, prepping for a job interview, anything that's do or die. Gets me psyched every time!
That's not true, John Ewbank is credited on all releases and not Tiësto, since he was he left the "Gouryella" project after the 3rd "Gouryella" track "Tenshi". You can check every "Ligaya" CD and vinyl, John Ewbank is mentioned in the credits. [Ferry Corsten management]
The original Ligaya did not have these vocals and I have to say by including them they definitely added another very enjoyable dimension to the already highly complex track. I’ve seen Ferry countless times and I will never cease to be amazed by just how masterful many of his productions are. Thank you for a LIFETIME. 😊
kinda builds a knot in my throat knowing the days of this wonderful musical era, has long passed...and all we have now, is the ability to revisit it, like revisiting an old house you grew up in, with all the memories still beating within it, somehow.
Jeremy Given Wow... I had no idea! I just checked it out. Beautiful track! Thanks for the tip Jeremy. Will be following this movement all over again. :]
I feel like current trance (sometimes) offers great new opportunities. There are some electro-influenced trance tracks out there that do a great job combining beautiful melodies with the grittier, advanced sounds of nowadays. But I'm really glad Ferry is resurrecting the Gouryella sound! I'd love to see old and new artists/styles working together to reach new heights. Long live trance!
I really miss these original Trance musics.... Where are those sounds like this nowadays.. The current main stream of Trance music is somewhat like dubstep or just like other branch of electro musics... I don't blame on trance musician. They have their musical trend ...however, I just.. miss the original trance sound like this one ..
+hs880425 John 00 Fleming, Manifestor, Simon Templar, The Digital Blonde, the guys at Pulsar Recordings, Ellez Ria for Trance The guys at NeoGoa, Zion 604, DAT Records, Cronomi, Suntrip, etc. for psytrance. It's still alive. Try John 00 Fleming - Healing and Imperial Echoes of Devastation.
Trance was actually THE mainstream genre in the late 90s and early 00s. Trance was pretty different from it's origins back then. John Smith's suggestions are great btw, listen to it.
I listen this song almost every month since 12 years... One of the most beautiful song EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR. I think only beautiful inside people can truly love this song.
Been listening to this tune for 13 years and still say it's one of the best trance tunes I've ever listened to. The days when Trance music was food to the Soul and healed the mind. ☺️ #TRANCE4EVER
this track does the trance scene VERY proud,even people that do not follow trance seem to think this a piece of art,words cant describe what Ligaya does to people when they hear it...simply stunning!!makes me a proud to follow this genre of genius music
This is..... ❤️. Ferry Corsten work whit Tiesto 🤮 but tiesto stopped working he is a fake. Full respect 4 Ferry corsten. Tiesto stole the most of his tracks
This song hits me hard no matter how many years passing. After over a decade I can't get burnt out on this song. In fact, I've never had such a vivid thought of a single thing making life worth living as this song haven't just listened to it.
Back in 2000's this was probably one of the best video trance song ever created. So much imagination, conflict and understanding that comes with experience of trance music.
I love this song too, but it is kinda sad how this song too is taking humanity into a BAD way: see the words at 2:16 ´´digital life equals ultimate happiness´´. Hmm kind of bio-robotic!
This track was made by Ferry Corsten alone, this was released in 2002 after Tiësto left the formation, this is the last track released with the Gouryella guise , the rest of the tracks were made by both Tiësto and Ferry.
Ferry Corsten is unforgotten, Hes the true master of Trance along with Armin. This is the very best Trance melody ever, 2nd comes Status Excessu D and 3rd maybe Yuri Kane - Right back
In my opinion I will say DJ Jürgen with Higher and Higher or Ayla (Part II) is some of the greatest tracks from this time... but when they first got popular there were many awesome dj's. Tiesto, Antiloop, Armin van Buuren and so on... and ofc Paul Oakenfold and Binary Finary... too much of the good djs to put them in here ^^
This is so awesome...I mean you can hear which parts are Corsten and which parts are Tiësto, just by the composition, tones, and note/chord progression.
@TommyMuc No it's not, all Gouryella tracks are produced by Ferry and released on his label. Tiësto was part of Gouryella for the first 3 tracks (Gouryella, Walhalla and Tenshi). Then he left the project, so now Gouryella is Ferry on his own.
It's written by John Ewbank, a Dutch composer. It was originally written for the song 'Voor Altijd' by Marco Borsato and later remixed Ferry Corsten under the name 'Gouryella - Ligaya'
It's the same for me .. I'm 21 and i've been listenning to trance too ! My big brother was a great fan and now i'm too... Trance has changed ! Too much commercial .. And this song is the greatest ! LOVE from Belgium !
By the way guys, do you know if this track without vocals is on youtube too? By preference some kind of 'radio edit' , since i'm not a big fan of those long intro's where melodically not much is happening. thanx!

Angelsのリガヤは鳥肌立ちました 今でもこの曲は私のベストトランスです

Tiesto is a fake. He stole tracks from me Avicii after his death etc etc 🤮
I've been listening to this for 20 years and still can't hold back my tears.

I’ve seen Ferry countless times and I will never cease to be amazed by just how masterful many of his productions are. Thank you for a LIFETIME. 😊
did you know ligaya is a remix from a marco borsato song? listen to voor altijd ...

Wow... I had no idea! I just checked it out. Beautiful track! Thanks for the tip Jeremy. Will be following this movement all over again. :]
Ferry Corsten played this song live yesterday... Trance is still alive, I couldn't believe it :')
Anahera isn't perfectly like the early 2000s style but it is a good first effort. Also, Gouryella (Ferry) made another song this year.
Jeremy Given Yeah, I see a big difference between today's trance and classic trance.
I feel like current trance (sometimes) offers great new opportunities. There are some electro-influenced trance tracks out there that do a great job combining beautiful melodies with the grittier, advanced sounds of nowadays. But I'm really glad Ferry is resurrecting the Gouryella sound! I'd love to see old and new artists/styles working together to reach new heights. Long live trance!
私の一番好きな曲👍
コロナが、終息したら、世界中のligaya大好き人間で、盛り上がろう🙋
フェリー・コーステンの曲の中で一番好き
정말 믿기지 않던 음악과 뮤비... cg 기술도 그리 넉넉치 않던 때였는데~
시간이 제법 흘렀음에도 명곡 멋진 뮤비임에 틀림이 없는 😎 👍
워 이 할 줄 아시네. 멜로디 트랜스의 성경이지 이 음악은
디스더 퍼스데이 오마이 라이프. Mp3고장날때 까지 들었네요. 23년 지났네요
天使とリガヤ、素晴らしいです。
Is without a doubt one of the best trance tracks ever made.
i switch between this and tenshi
Well he said one of the best. Which it 100% is.
I really miss these original Trance musics.... Where are those sounds like this nowadays..

Yeah; well, this is actually the first Gouryella hit for Ferry Corsten *without* Tiësto.
Hugo Hakvoort In that years even mainstream music was AWESOME. Today is CRAP
THE Hymn of Trance music, if there is a National anthem of Trance it's Ligaya 😍💙
I listen this song almost every month since 12 years... One of the most beautiful song EVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR. I think only beautiful inside people can truly love this song.
Kvarnholmen Whatever makes you happy...
very good song with inspiring beat & melody
+1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Scapegoat: A Survivor i still have goosebumps bro til now! This song is so fckin amazing!!👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
@@drpd8 what this guy said, so true...
Still here in 2020. Long live Ferry! This week's ASOT 958 hosted by Ferry reminded me to come back here.
Been listening to this tune for 13 years and still say it's one of the best trance tunes I've ever listened to. The days when Trance music was food to the Soul and healed the mind. ☺️
#TRANCE4EVER
Absolutely Loved it Back in Childhood...still Love this Track today ❤
I love classic TRANCE

Listening in 2021. Such a great trance song!
I’d give anything to have a pill, drift off and watch the lazers all night long to this tune. I miss the 90s 00s
Ever since I heard this song in 2003, I have cried every time I listened. It truly is a masterpiece. Gouryella is purely the best in the world.
This is..... ❤️. Ferry Corsten work whit Tiesto 🤮 but tiesto stopped working he is a fake. Full respect 4 Ferry corsten. Tiesto stole the most of his tracks
it’s 2022. and i’m gonna listening to this track for a life time.
Most beautiful trance song ever
One of the best trance songs ever made... 09.2023 and the feeling is great❤
How to did you came up with this melody?
Only there is no word respect
Level Mozart
Ferry Corsten is the Mozart and Beethoven of our time! He does it over and over again. Anahera, Neba and Surga are proof of that
Damals genial, heute genial! Und das sage ich mit inzwischen 52. Hab immer noch die Maxi-CD im Regal, auf der schon damals das Video drauf war.
…seit wann gibt es _m/AX¡💿CD‘s_ ?
_/AngeL_
almost 10 years and it still bring tears to my eyes god I love gouryella
P.L.U.R. always
Add another 10
20 years by now, and still listening... Great tune, great artist
PLUR always and forever
20, gone in a flash
Jedna z najlepszych piosenek w historii całego trance i ten vocal miażdży wszystko !!!
to boli casy... toto sa uz nikdy nevrati...
Dokładnie ;)
can't believe this song is 10 years old...and it still gives me goosebump when i hear it everytime...tiesto and ferry should team up again!
This one is the best Trance-Song ever!!!
Despite so many years since I first heard it... Still number one...
I probably won't hear anything better...
This track really elevates you and keeps you up there, truly an uplifting Classic!
Trance the Era of dreams now faded away. I still Trance out hard! long live Trance
LOVE THE VOCAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song hits me hard no matter how many years passing. After over a decade I can't get burnt out on this song. In fact, I've never had such a vivid thought of a single thing making life worth living as this song haven't just listened to it.
These tunes are so uplifting!
Back in 2000's this was probably one of the best video trance song ever created. So much imagination, conflict and understanding that comes with experience of trance music.
I f*cking love it.... Goosebumps even after all these years
The vocal on this is outstanding. nothing like it!!
Pure trance...reminds me of my younger age.Great track & memories.
Just perfect! It made me cry hearing it for the first time @Electronic Family last weekend. Beautiful.... Thank you so much Ferry Corsten!
This song makes me scream so much, I remember the end of time. I only wish that the animals do not become extinct anymore.
This track is still very fresh and blows my mind! I can even say it's my most favourite trance trck ever!
2024, anyone?
Hell yeah. Relaxing after smoking some ribs and got this on
Yes of course 💯👌🙏❤
Nunca e conocido a alguien en persona que le guste ésta canción 😢😢
2050 even!
No brainer. Living it up in 2024! :)
What about above and beyond-no one on earth?I like all this old good songs :) They r not same like now.
man I swear miss the days of trance like this. But this mix is infinite
De los mejores tracks, sin duda el estilo Ferry Corsten es de lo mejor. ☺
Just beautiful. Got to be in the running for the best trance song of the decade!
Wow................I actually cried!!!!!!!!
my absoulte favourite of ALL time. no other track can beat this one, ever!
Still the best Trance tune of all times after 12 years. Well to be fair it's quite a challenge to beat this! Sorry Anahera.
Only you can do it Ferry!!
Oceanlab ft. Justine Suissa 'Beautiful Together' and Mike Shiver & Elevation 'Hurricane' are equally amazing. 😁
I looooooooove this song... it`s like a sad, but wonderful dream... could hear it a whole night through... THANX!!!!
I love this song too, but it is kinda sad how this song too is taking humanity into a BAD way: see the words at 2:16 ´´digital life equals ultimate happiness´´. Hmm kind of bio-robotic!
+Ferry Corsten Someone has to have it in Full HD or HD at least. It would be so great to see it!
Both this and out of the blue are my favourite trance tracks. God level trance when you could let the music narrate your own emotional journey
Classic that sometimes just makes me cry. Beautiful song!! From the beginning to the end. I WANT A GOURYELLA COMEBACK
This track was made by Ferry Corsten alone, this was released in 2002 after Tiësto left the formation, this is the last track released with the Gouryella guise , the rest of the tracks were made by both Tiësto and Ferry.
Ferry Corsten is unforgotten, Hes the true master of Trance along with Armin.
This is the very best Trance melody ever, 2nd comes Status Excessu D and 3rd maybe Yuri Kane - Right back
This is pure joy, brilliance, happiness, peace, amazing, it will never die.
In my opinion I will say DJ Jürgen with Higher and Higher or Ayla (Part II) is some of the greatest tracks from this time... but when they first got popular there were many awesome dj's. Tiesto, Antiloop, Armin van Buuren and so on... and ofc Paul Oakenfold and Binary Finary... too much of the good djs to put them in here ^^
This is so awesome...I mean you can hear which parts are Corsten and which parts are Tiësto, just by the composition, tones, and note/chord progression.
the best trance had to offer in its pure form is gouryella.
this song made me cry at transmission in prague! amazing gouryella tunes!
Beautiful song,one of the best Trance tracks ever.
mooiste nummer ooit lekker chillen ermee en kippevel krijgen ervan
Love love love it. I had lost the link. So happy to find it again. Much gratitude!
absolutely amazing!!
@TommyMuc No it's not, all Gouryella tracks are produced by Ferry and released on his label. Tiësto was part of Gouryella for the first 3 tracks (Gouryella, Walhalla and Tenshi). Then he left the project, so now Gouryella is Ferry on his own.
2019 год ! Кто слушает?
100 % Trance 90s y 2000s época dorada
最高✨✨✨～
If there was a battle of the genres, trance's bet would definitely be this epic track. "Trance track to rule them all"
Zeitlos!😢🎉
ferry is the best producer in edm: FACT!
I'm addicted to this song. I listen to it every evening; not so smart considering it being the most euphoric electronic song ever!
was für ein beat was für ein track .....einer meiner absoluten top tracks ♥
velfarre や classic tranceは今でも車の中でよく聞く
I DARE YOU TO NAME A BETTER SONG THAN THIS ONE, because there isn’t one ❤️
It's written by John Ewbank, a Dutch composer. It was originally written for the song 'Voor Altijd' by Marco Borsato and later remixed Ferry Corsten under the name 'Gouryella - Ligaya'
It's the same for me .. I'm 21 and i've been listenning to trance too ! My big brother was a great fan and now i'm too...
Trance has changed ! Too much commercial .. And this song is the greatest !
LOVE from Belgium !
THE CLASSIC TRANCE IS JUST PERFECT!!!!!
페리 코스텐
티에스토 고리엘라 ♡♡♡♡
hello from portland oregon 4//8/16 still love old trance
Beautiful vocals
This is the best music I’ve ever heard in my life it feels like god is near me
この曲はあまりにも美しいとおもいます(^^)
Yep I must say from the top DJs he brings out the best artist albums. But I must say too that this will stay GREAAAAT!
TranceHeads unite! We need more Trance parties. Nearly got me Bus Pass and I'm still dancing! Trance 4 eva!
By the way guys, do you know if this track without vocals is on youtube too? By preference some kind of 'radio edit' , since i'm not a big fan of those long intro's where melodically not much is happening. thanx!
I amazingly only just found out Gouryella was Ferry Corrsten and Tiesto :O They need to reform! The Gouryella stuff is epic :)
One of best songs ever made
I love that tune as well haha. I got massive chills the first time I heard it. That track is a fine example of what what modern trance should be.
二十一年後的今天 依然是神曲
what a duo they made, tiesto and corsten, they have to get back together sometime... they make the best if they work together
the videoclip has nothing to do with the feelings this song gives...the song is amazing..LOVE IT
Actually the composition is of a dutch composer by the name of Ewbank. Ferry teamed up for this track with him.
