this song takes me back to memories of times long gone! I heard it for the 1st time on FM about 11 years back... time really does fly and it all seems like yesterday!
This song / video is amazing on so many levels; it's a godsend. It's one of the songs that got me into electronic music when I was a teenager. Every time I listen to it, I think of our escape from Vietnam for some reason. LOL. Maybe because we escaped by sea. This is my first time seeing this video, and it has all the elements I would have expected, so the coincidence is quite eerie, but maybe that's cuz it's called Offshore. LOL Either way, it's an unbelievable track. As good as as it ever was.
@Viruza I think I figured it out here awhile back. I tried to Google her tfor info. on her for the present day with no success. She struck me because she is a unique performer in her expression as a singer. Loved the energy. You do not find that much with many female performers here in the States. The U.S. is a Ken and Barbie doll society.
The very first chicane track, heard this at virgin marys, commerial rd prahran, vic, australia. since then i have been a big fan and they are my number one dance artist.
In 1997 I bought a triple CD pack called Rennaisance4 from Herbie James at
the DJ Store in Ft. Lauderdale. In that pack Dave Seaman threw down this set that was like an apocalyptic battle for the heavens... THIS track was the grand finale. The first time we all heard it, there was silence for 5 minutes after the CD was over. Then everyone in the room looked around at each other and just went "WOW!"
although the ambient version sounds more relaxing (yeah, i know it suppose too...:) ) this version including the lyrics it guides you to certain ideas of what Chicane wanted to tell us with the song itself
these arent chicanes lyrics, its a mashup of chicane and power circle,the lyrics are from power circles tune "a little love" made more famous by this incarnation, much like coco's lyrics on toca's miracle.
i hardly think the legend that is nick bracegirdle would have chose these lyrics if they were shit. they make the tune more up-lifting, plus listen to the words.
this tune needs no vocals. she may be a great singer, no question, but the lyrics are gratuitous and basically sh1t. they sound like a load of wank. she can sing, no doubt, but the vocals totally ruin this tune.
Don't just say it's better, because the true Chicane fans prefer the original. Next time state that it's your opinion instead of talking like you're on behalf of the world.
Heard this tune first this year, when I bought a cd with this track on it... the '97 mark almost immediately lead me to youtube... where I found that the original was (ofcourse) better...
this song has got to be played in my funeral its the song that would always remind me of the the pain ive been through certainly a inspiration to help me carry on what a tune
they shouldnt touch the original.....
