whoever put this here and knew what it was, I love you! you made my year and decade this song means so much to me growing up cause this is when I graduated and had fun, those times are never coming back but the memorie is priceless and to have the music .....thank you so much, I feel like crying shit!!!
YOu have no idea how many years I looked for this shit!
@0StuntCat0 To be specific, it was Richard Dawsons character in the Running Man, in which he was playing game-show host Damon Killian...I liken it to his Family Feud alter-ego :)
Oh my God. I love this track. I was such a good little girl in Sixth Form in Uxbridge, North West London. I went to University in Salford in 1992, discovered alcohol, many other things and generally just let loose in response to the previous 18 years. This song just brings it all back, how hedonistic and estactic my life was back then. Everything was so free and unfettered back then. I'm 37 now. I don't feel old but I hate the way 37 sounds so old. This song makes me feel 18 again! :-)
Samples from The Running Man (film), The Life Of Brian (even better film), and Song To The Siren (a Tim Buckley cover, as sung by The Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser). And a top rave tune to boot. LOVE THIS.
I remember my friends Daniel,Andy and Dusty all jammming this on Y95 in Dallas going to THE Cure Wish concert at Texas Stadium in 1992, love it! LETS RAVE!!!!!
The 90's was the rave century, never forget you wouldn't have the likes of Carl Cox or Mikey B, Fantasia, Ratpack, Qtex, Qfx to name a few. A whole generation of young and eager minds grew up listening to this uplifting stuff. I still love dance and I'm almost 40!! (though have a particular thing for happy hardcore)
I think this was THE song that introduced me to rave and techno ... and I hadn't heard it in over 15 years.... THANK YOU! You just made my weekend :)
this was epic for its time. I remember when Annie Nightingale (late night Radio1 DJ) started playing this. cracking album also. I agree with not replacing the rave sceen of the early 90's. great time. made my hair stand up ... before it fell out!
@englishlawrence true, sounds stupid but they look so much better than girls these days. all that fake tan/hair/eyelashes and shit is just disgusting, specially when the cow stains your pillows with her face haha!
@testpress001 oh this cd blasted into my soul many nights as a teen, my little GTI had 2 12" kickers in the back, and did it ever sound increadble, helped along by the acid and X in our systems no doubt
@testpress001@MXGORKY Agree with both. I can't prefer 1 decade over another. I've crossed over 4 decades and had music lovers in my family for all of them so far from the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s The greatness in music stopped (in my opinion) right around '95. I loved all styles including Techno. After 95 great groups just stopped for some reason and the music industry turned into a mucky fog of brown plaid and grunge with no color, life, or excitement & cynicism became the new norm.
i had someone tell me that some of my music sounds like this idk if this is true or not any one want to give their opinions on this? if you wana hear my music go to myspace /rankoffall
Ok sample spotters from the old days.... work out who these guys are... the female vocalist ("Did I dream...") had a relationship with the son of the person who wrote the origional track, she is being sampled in the cover version. Forget abvious movie samples folks, the obscure is where its at!
Nostalgia! I remember seeing the video on Dance Energy back in 1992 and you could see the female vocalist in all her glory. :D Someone needs to upload that clip! Good usage of The Running Man sample, classic track after all these years. Such a shame that real talent like this is overshadowed by the manufactured cover versions crap on X-Factor being forced down on our throats.
I love how in the 90s everyone wore circular shades :D I bought a cheap pair off eBay cause I love them but now everyone asks me if I'm meant to be John Lennon.
The lady in the video is just lipsyncing. The sample is from "Song to the Siren" by "This Mortal Coil". It won't let me link to the actual video on youtube, but if you zoom to 1:22 to hear that particular line.
@pastamaster39 The woman singing is Liz Fraser from the Cocteau Twins. This was sampled from their work with This Mortal Coil on the album --It'll End In Tears.
@MXGORKY I totally agree the summer of 1992 was priceless, this track and many others are just a dream now compared to todays poor excuse for music !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
omg I used to love this song in my early teens (I'm 30 now) as it was one of my big brother's favourite rave anthems. I'm watching The Running Man now and instantly recognised "Who loves you and who do you love"......"it's time to start RUNNING!". So I only just realised 5 minutes ago that Messiah sampled The Running Man - genius!! Such an awesome rave track; I might be showing my age but they don't make 'em like that anymore. Thanks to the person who posted the video and for sharing.
hunnypotbuzz im so with you on this, its a fantastic track and it took me ages to track it down. all i knew is that was a tune that sampled the running man talk about a needle in a hay stack. but as i looked i found out that there is another film sampled in this song. when you hear killian say "who loved you and who do you love" the crowd say " the messiah , the messiah" which was taken from monty python's life of brian " im now about to get in the car get the roof down and play this tune LOUD,
omg you hit the nail on the head with the "the messiah , the messiah" bit because I was playing the audience back on The Running Man and thinking to myself 'but it doesn't sound like they're saying that!'. Wow, do you think us two perhaps have a little too much time on our hands? lol Another fave of mine is Usura 'Open Your Mind' circa 93 - old skool baby!! lol So I'm guessing by your user name that you're 34 then? I'm 30 so we prob have similar tastes in Old Skool Dance, Trance & Rave tracks x
omg i have open your mind in the car i love that tune, took me a few times of watching total recall till i understood what was going on lol. im 34 in december but yeah it looks like we are on the same wave length with music. loved the utah saints stuff and anything from prodigy.
The video with Arnold in the actual movie and the actors is better...........but, this song is very hard to find in stores and the net, so great post, and thank u. DenVeR CoLoRadO
what i have been wondering for all these year... is who is the messiah? one guy or two? and did they take to many tabs and just vanish with no trace? same question for energy 52 - some one help put an age old myster to end for me? thanks alot for posting! many blessings!
At last!!!Finally we can all see the truly original video made for this track. And we can see Itsy Foster, who is the featured artist performing the vocals and wearing the silver outfit in the video.
Who loves you, and who do YOU love? Messiah, bringing me back to the days! Delish! It's time to start running!
