Piece by piece I release
Once was mine now undone
Turned blue like New Orleans
And went down like a southern sun

I still feel you beneath my skin
I am tempted to throw my senses in
'Cause it's easier to fly
Than to face another night in southern sun
And your love is all around
In the air to set me free

Piece by piece I release
Once was mine now undone
Turned blue like New Orleans
And went down like a southern sun

I still feel you beneath my skin
I am tempted to throw my senses in
'Cause it's easier to fly
Than to face another night in southern sun
And your love is all around
In the end to set me free

You last like a song I'm deflated
I am pieces on the wind unrelated

I still feel you beneath my skin
I am tempted to throw my senses in
'Cause it's easier to fly
Than to face another night in southern sun
And your love is all around
In the air to set me free
'Cause it's easier to fly
It's in the air to set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free

Song: For What You Dream Of
Artist: Bedrock
Writers: John Digweed, Nick Muir
Subgenre: House

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Jk26lOI7Ck (Full On Renaissance Remix)


For what you dream of
For what you dream of
For what you dream of
For what you dream of....

When the taking on the giving starts to get too much
Let the music hit you with its healing touch
Last night's just a way of marking time
Everybody must express their feeling sometimes
Express their feeling sometimes

They say a tree is as tall as its many branches, mm-hmm
But not all of God's children have the same chances

Get Down

Let the self be the need in life
Don't you know that you can count on second chances
Remember the future and never look back
Listen to the spirit while your body dances
You're loosing your mind but that's ok
You're locked in the groove
You're locked in the groove

The hall of dangers
The power in love
You walk the fire
For what you dream of

(repeat)

You loosing your mind but that's ok
You're locked in the groove throwin' the keys away

The hall of dangers
The power in love
You walk the fire
For what you dream of

The hall of dangers
The power in love
For what you dream of
For what you dream of

The hall of dangers
For what you dream of
Remember the future
For what you dream of
For what you dream of
For what you dream of
For what you dream of....

This one love
It’s in the air
It’s in you
It’s in me

It’s one love
More than just desire
Burns in me like fire
Moves the light of the day

And this love
Makes me feel inspired
I don’t wanna fight it
With you I will stay

Now I am far from illusion
I will never love you this way
I will follow lights in the future
I wanna live forever inside every day
It’s one love
Oh-oh one love

Could be really called a distance
No fear and no resistance
Another eyes of me
‘Cause I want this
More than I can show you
More than what I know love can do
More than one love is

Now I am far from illusion
I will never love you this way
I will follow lights in the future
I wanna live forever inside every day
It is one love
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh one love
Oh-oh one love
Oh-oh one love

I can feel it coming
I can feel it coming down
I can feel it coming down
I can feel it coming down
I can feel it coming down
I can feel it coming down

Now I am far from illusion
I will never love you this way
I will follow lights in the future
I wanna live forever inside every day
It's one love

Its been too long since you posted anything here sweetie

If we're only six degrees of separation
how can I know you in dreams?
Travelin' to freeze a drop in all the ocean
can you cross all five between?

If we're only six degrees of separation
why do voices in my head
follow me to seize a part of this commotion
How can I not know you yet?

Six degrees and the morning comes
Six degrees and the river runs
Six degrees till you're here with me
Six degrees I'm not alone
Six degrees I'll get to know
Six degrees - are you getting closer?

If we're only six degrees of separation
If we're only six degrees of separation
Travelin' to freeze a drop in all the ocean

If we're only six degrees of separation
why does dreaming wake me cold?
Waitin' for the warm but promise is impatient (?) ....@5:20
will you find me even though?
Will you find me
Find me
Find me
Find me
....

Song: Invisible

Album: Six Feet Above Yesterday (2004)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62MneG12A3I

The days will crash by and they'll trample your roses
But the path where you walked will soon blossom again
On the day when we find we've become our own jailers
And we reach for the key that has always been sleeping within

So tomorrow's child, come and tell me you've never seen this before
Tomorrow's child, come and show me how I could be
So much more
Than what I am now

I don't wanna belong in this landscape of fences
In this world that's rejected the gifts that the future can bring
A world where wings are clipped by the language on billboards
And car alarms teach all the newborn birds to sing

So tomorrow's child, come and tell me you've never seen this before
Tomorrow's child, come and show me how this could be more

And I will take off my skin and go flying
But I'm afraid if I fall I could fall
So give me the courage to be an invisible
But I'm frightened of losing it all

You only take heed when you need to
You only take heed when you need to
And you need to.

Come let me brief you
Make you see where greed leads to
And you need to.

Inspire the love inside your people
Our people, equal
For teens, for all, no steeples, no spires
No more hell-fires and please no more gunfire

Quench the evil then thirst
Put them first
And when the floodgates burst
Come inside and we'll keep you strong

We protect the children of this new dawn
We properly skill and we fear no storm
And what we're building will persevere long
After the wicked then disappear

Justice, truths and rights gone clear
Me and the youth you and I are gon' start this year
Me and the youth we oughta start this year

I dream my dreams, with you...

I live my life, with you...

I know how to find(?) the island...

The island... of love

I know we'll take the journey one day, one day
There's so much waiting for us, one day
...
Then an ocean one day, one day

I know that only sun will see us, one day
I know that only wind will share us
I see your arms around me, one day, one day
I know it's on the island
I know it's on the island of love
The island of love
The island of love
Love...

I dream my dreams with you
I live my life with you
I know we'll find
The island of love
I dream my dreams with you
I live my life with you
I know we'll find
The island of love

It's on the island of love
It's on the island of love
It's on the island of love
It's on the island of love
I know it's on the island of love
The island of love
The island of love

Moon, thank you for this thread. This is not my area of music interest usually. But I'm always open to new things. This thread could end up being a treasure store of correct "Electronika" lyrics! ("Electronika" is OK to use?--The Queen of Hearts will not say, "Off with her head!"? <3) Maybe I will learn some new things. Would you please state--again, for the record--the correct "umbrella" genre for this kind of music? Is it "EM-something"? And again, what does it stand for? (I want to be cool with Teshka!!!! )

I have a pet peeve about incorrect lyrics on printed CD packaging as well as those online. So many online (for English) are done by English-as-second-language translators. How do I know? Well, to me it's obvious. But one way is that they often spell correctly, but then a couple phrases they totally miss because it's in vernacular and they write the lyrics however they "hear" them. I applaud their more accurate spelling, though!

Frankie, yw and thanks for dropping by! The Queen of Hearts is apparently too busy to do any extracurricular whacking any time soon. You'll probably be safe most of the weekend

Tess usually favors EDM (electronic dance music) and I probably use that term more consistently too. The thing is, electronica may be more easily recognizable, but that also includes game music and other stuff that does not fit at all in the "EDM" category.

The only problem is that not all EDM is actually written for dancing. So in theory, it's still a question.

Yep, it's pretty obvious that a lot of English song lyrics are not originally written by native-English speakers. And I think that may create situations where at times we are wrong and "they" are right.... Case in point to show what I mean:

In 2003, Italian DJ/songwriter Gigi D'Agostino wrote La Passion with English lyrics (I love that song!) but several of the lines don't quite make sense in the mind of a fluent English speaker. But as he wrote it, and as he sings it, those slightly strange-sounding lyrics are correct. So.... long story short.... sometimes it's a practical impossibility for us to come up with 100% "correct-English" lyrics

Song: Beautiful Things
Artist: Andain (first remix by Gabriel & Dresden, later remixed by Tiësto)
Album: Nyana (Tiësto, 2003; released as a single on the Black Hole label later that year)
Genre: Trance (or Progressive House)

Got up early, found something’s missing
My only name
No one else sees, but I got stuck
And soon forever came

Stopped pushing on for just a second
Then nothing’s changed
Who am I this time? Where’s my name?
I guess it crept away

(bridge)
No one’s calling for me at the door
And unpredictable won’t bother anymore
And silently gets harder to ignore

Look straight ahead, there’s nothing left to see
What’s done is done, this life has got its hold on me
Just let it go, what now can never be

(chorus)
I forgot that I might see
So many beautiful things
I forgot that I might need
To find out what life could bring...
Beautiful things

Take this happy ending away
It’s all the same
God won’t waste this simplicity
On possibility

Get me up, wake me up, dreams are filling
This trace of blame
Frozen still I thought I could stop
Now who’s gonna wait

No one’s calling for me at the door
And unpredictable won’t bother anymore
And silently gets harder to ignore

Look straight ahead, there’s nothing left to see
What’s done is done, this life has got it’s hold on me
Just let it go, what now can never be

So many beautiful things
So many beautiful things

(instrumental)

Now what do I do?
Can I change my mind?
Did I think things through?
It was once my life
It was my life at one time

Beautiful things
So many beautiful things
So many beautiful things

Love until it hurts
Love until you feel
Sadness in your heart
Sorrow you must heal

Love until it hurts
Love until you find
All that’s left to give
Is everything you live for

Sometimes you hurt more than words can say
Melting on the inside
Living every moment of the day
Love until it hurts you all the way
Love until it hurts you all the way

Love until it hurts
Love until you bleed
When you know it’s real
Love is all you feel

Love until the stars
Are dancing in the sky
Lighting up your life
Showing where the truth lies

Sometimes you love more than words can say
Shaking on the inside
Living every moment every way
Love until it hurts you all the way
Love until it hurts you all the way

Love until it hurts
Love until it breaks
The emptiness you fear
Decisions that you make clear

Love until it hurts
Love until you free
Memories of the past
No longer meant to be here

Sometimes you need more than you can say
Sinking on the inside
Longing just to hear the words we say
Love until it hurts don’t fade away
Love until it hurts don’t fade away
Love until it hurts you all the way

I guess you wonder where I’ve been
I searched to find love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can’t let go
My friends wonder what is wrong with me
Well I’m in a daze from your love you see
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can’t let go
I guess you wonder where I’ve been
I searched to find love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can’t let go
Some people go around the world for love
They may never find what they dream of
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can’t let go
In the world only you
Make me do for love
What I would never do
I guess you wonder where I’ve been
I searched to find love within
I came back to let you know
Got a thing for you
And I can’t let go

Dear Moon, I need to clarify my meaning. I wrote "translations" are often done by English-as-second-language "translators."
No. What I was actually referring to was TRANSCRIPTION of English lyrics, not translations. Although thank you for that neat example above--something I would not have known on my own!

I should say it this way: One of my pet peeves is when the CD insert lyrics do not match the actual words of the final song cut and when lyrics are posted online, but they are inaccurate . . . then, as you said . . . they get passed along as the actual lyrics and may not be. = All this adds up to I respect what you're doing with making sure the lyrics to these songs are transcribed correctly!!

I'm guessing that he meant to say all of that too Frankie bcs we've talked so much about how translation errors become mistakes in a phrase here and a phrase there that's not familiar to someone who doesn't know English fluently....and so they write (as you said) individual words that they think they hear, rather than the correct whole phrase that we can discern bcs of our intimate familiarity with the language

i wanna add too that another difficulty with understanding EDM lyrics is that often the musical sound is so overpowering that it can be extremely hard to understand that "small voice" of so many trance and house vocalists....as EDM traditionally is mostly about the music rather than the singer?....idk if that's really a correct thing to say but thats how it seems to me

Under the stars
We run in the wind
Taking every single moment that we can
Look into your eyes
We run from the lights
Believe it but you can’t know how I feel
I can’t believe that you still think we’re friends
Like someone I just met, you can’t pretend
That you don’t feel the magic, tell your mind
And I am on a mission to show you how
These are moments you can’t live without
Knowing that you can’t ever say goodbye

And you feel
Like you’re all alone
Can’t you recover your heart and let it go?
And you see
Just how good we’d be
Just close your eyes now and let your body feel

And now you feel
Like you’re all alone
My love will surround you
In ways that you don’t know
And now you feel
Like it could be real
My love will surround you
Close your eyes and see

And out of this daze
Where memories were made
I tell you how the life you want to leave
Lightning will strike
In a way that you like
And fate'll take its hand just come to me

I can’t believe you’re coming back around
For a moment you were there then you hit the ground
It’s almost like you started to believe
You say enough for me to know you tried
But everything you’re feeling is stuck inside
Open up your heart and set us free

And now you feel
Like you’re all alone
Telling everybody
Nothing’s going on

And then you stood
Feeling so alone
It’s like everybody knows that I’m the one

I feel it in my skin
You know where I have been
There’s no need to cover
It’s time that you begin

And then you stop...stop...stop
Cause you feel
(Did you see how good we’d be)
So alone
(When you open up to me)
Not alone
(Did you see how good we’d be)
Not alone
(When you open up to me)
Not alone

Did you see how good we’d be when you open up to me
Did you see how good we’d be when you open up to me
Did you see how good we’d be when you open up to me
Did you see how good we’d be when you open up to me

It’s possible to love someone
And not treat them in the way that you want
It’s possible to see your eyes
Be the devil in disguise with another front
And it’s possible to change this world
Revolutionize the boys and girls
It’s possible to educate
The next generation that will rule the world someday

Now the changing times of the 21st century
Means nothing to me coz I would rather be
At the beginning of time
Earth would be mine
Living in luxury
Discovering a world out there
Believing in the sun, earth, water and air
Take me there, so I could see the world bloom
Standing on a sea cliff howling at the moon

Creating a world for the open minded
A unique perception of truth inside it
I know we could find it
It’s just a matter of where and when
We collectively decide it
The world is not a vicious place
It’s just the way we’ve been raised
Discovering time and space
I know that we could make a change
Rearrange the way that we appreciate the world today

It’s possible to love someone
And not treat them in the way that you want
It’s possible to see your eyes
Be the devil in disguise with another front
And it’s possible to change this world
Revolutionize the boys and girls
It’s possible to educate
The next generation that will rule the world
Someday
Someday
Someday

Now as I start to put my mind into words
I stall, I fall I’m losing it all, my inhibition
The thought of wasting a way
The fact that the music’s at a place not far away
Yet I stray and stick to my world
In love with my life my beliefs and a girl
Is it luck that I love this crazy place?
The human race?

Don’t get me wrong, I still think we could change
But this life and the fact that time exists
And we're here and we don’t come equipped with it all
Half the fun is learning and I’m having a ball
While the world keeps turning my role is small
But I’ll make a change
I hope you’re feeling the same way
I hope you’re seeing what I say

It’s possible to love someone
And not treat them in the way that you want
It’s possible to see your eyes
Be the devil in disguise with another front
And it’s possible to change this world
Revolutionize the boys and girls
It’s possible to educate
The next generation that will rule the world
Someday
Someday

In this concrete jungle we live
Our survival is love that we give
Now my instinct is guiding my way
It’s true what they say
The world is your chance to create
(repeat 3x)

It’s possible to love someone
And not treat them in the way that you want
It’s possible to see your eyes
Be the devil in disguise with another front
And it’s possible to change this world
Revolutionize the boys and girls
It’s possible to educate
The next generation that will rule the world
Someday

(repeat)

Someday
Someday
Someday...

Come and catch me babe
I'm falling
Come and catch a fire babe
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me fade away

Come and catch a feeling
It's electrifying me
Breathe for me baby
Awake before I'm down
Awake before I'm down

Come and touch me baby
I need to be loved
Come and hold me babe
I need to feel loved
I need to feel loved

Come and catch a fire
Don't let me fade away
Come and catch a fire babe
Don't let me fade away
Come and catch a feeling
It's electrifying me
