I won the state finals discus and javelin in 1997 listening to this while I waited. Probably the crispest memory of 90's high school I have. Absolute clarity moment, I just felt like on that day with the sun shining, a cool breeze about 24 degrees, my best friends around me, great coach, the smell of eucalypt trees and my crush winning her sprint events and this album copied from my older bros CD onto my minidisc player.....there was no way I could lose that day. It was perfect. A perfect day.
Truly one of the most underrated and best masterpieces of a genre that's generally (and deservingly) known for its superficial and positive lyrics. This one doesn't even attempt to hide the desperation and hopelessness and I adore it for that reason as it perfectly strums the strings of my soul (that came out very pompous, so sorry about that..) There are very few other tracks that come to mind, from Eurodance artists, as melancholic as this one, so here are a few: 1. Magic Affair - Homicidal (an amazing track by AK SWIFT) with a very haunting riff. 2. Maxx - Suddenly 3. C-Block - Strung Out (Euro-rap really, but still) 4. DC Project ft. Alexa - Mary's Prayer (used to be my go to tune when depression really set in). 5. DJ Bobo - There's a Paradise. 6. Captain Hollywood Project - Only With You (brings me to tears each time I hear it). 7. Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy (not Eurodance but I just had to mention it) 8. Everything but the Girl - Missing (Todd Terry Remix) 9. Roger Sanchez - another chance
Great list, thanks for sharing. I'd like to add some more: 1. Techno Cop - Miracle Of Life 2. Believe - Dark Side Of The Moon 3. Intouch - Message To You 4. Lori Glori - My Body & Soul 5. Fairy Tale - The Dream 6. Transpose feat Maxime - Shes back (Radio & Maxi Version) 7. Ice Bonfire - Lifetime (Check also the Slow Edit)
@@MariosEurodance Thanks for the list too - I confess I have never even heard some of these before. Found Intouch the most appealing. BTW, I created a melancholic dance/eurodance playlist here: ru-vid.com/group/PLPG-yyt3CP7KDqRT3zQBOn0JenEnz-Xxo and will keep updating it from time to time.
This is I True Hidden Gem in Music, A Message to all who think Suicide is an Answer you have a Choice of Life to Live and Rebuild and be Happy Once again , The World is in Your Own Hands ✋️ ❤
You can walk on the water, shine like a diamond Ring the bells of fortune if you dare You can make any move that you want to make Take everything that you can if you dare Just think the world is in your hands Just think the world is in your hands Think the world is in your hands Just think the world is in your hands Stress on my mind, think I'll end it all, people tell me to stand tall But I don't want to live, got nothing to give and I'm tired of hitting walls They don't understand from where I come, my past not a pretty one Scars, never stars, now I'm ready to quit and let this life be done Some tell me to hold on, tell me to be strong, but the battle's too long No fight left in me, but they don't comprehend that my will is all gone Nothing to grasp, hope is past and my faith is in the trash So save the love that you think I need, I'm going out with a blast You can walk on the water, shine like a diamond Ring the bells of fortune if you dare You can make any move that you want to make Take everything that you can if you dare Just think the world is in your hands Just think the world is in your hands Think the world is in your hands Just think the world is in your hands Troubles got me down, never got a break, just pain and heartache Not looking for a reason to go on, no more, I've had all I can take I'm tired of the same old thing, same old scene, death must now be king I give up, I don't want to live up to the wicked hopes of society Some say excel, but I still fail so well, just call me a pro Reasons for failing, truth be known, I really don't care to know It?s time to move on, time to be gone, farewell to my king Just want to end this losing trend with a bullet and a shot of gin Just think the world is in your hands Just think the world is in your hands Think the world is in your hands Just think the world is in your hands Just think the world is in your hands Just think the world is in your hands Think the world is in your hands Just think the world is in your hands
Finally, the correct lyrics. J's verses are hopelessly wrong on most lyrics websites. Thank you very much. Even thought J's rap is typically very punctuated and clear, there were a few places that left me second guessing myself, but your post has removed any doubt.
@@brandonmoore7497 Mine too. Do you like it because you like Eurorance in general, or just that song in particular because of its dark and melancholic vibe?
This is my feel good song. In my darkest hour , the world is in my hands. Tortsen fenslau wrote a beautiful Performed by the beautiful TANIA EVANS AND JAY SUPREME
During the chart success of Anything, one of the local music programmes did a short interview with Jay and Tania, it looked like they were on set and surrounded by snow, this video explains a lot. Despite being known for their more uptempo tunes, this video proves Torsten Fenslau can make sombre, downbeat tracks and make them sound great. I think the lyrics to this song are profound and something I can identify with....
Great song,shame it's not known as much as "Mr.Vain". '90 were the greatest. How come I didn't heard that magic piano in this version?Didn't knew there's a version with out it.
..Culture beat got it down to the tee, everything,choreography,beat,bass-line and the vocals,lyrics are awesome ..I can't fault any of there music ...😎
I wonder where this video was made. The ship is Turkish (sign Istanbul) but it wasn't Turkey I think. Too much snow and frozen environment...Brilliant 90's, good memories. I was only 14 in 1994 and I didn't appreciate this music kind at that time. By the way Tania Evans never looked better than "Serenity" time (93-94). RIP T.Fenslau
You're right! And since you've been speaking about techno movement the first attempts are generally situated in USA. ( Chicago House, Detroit Techno and Love Parade). But after a short while this music phenomenon grew stronger and outbreak in Europe. One of the reason may be the US soldiers troops stationed in West Germany, France, Denmark ... (Captain Hollywood Project, B.G. the Prince Of Rap...) They bring a new wave and a fresh beat in electronic music, combined with short rapp passages.
Thank you for uploading the video! I adore Culture Beat since the fist time I've ever listened to their music! And this song always makes my hormones spin around. It is so true, profound, real and unique... Viva La EuroDance Always and Forever!!
Ты можешь ходить по воде, сиять, как бриллиант, Звонить в колокол судьбы, если ты хочешь. Ты можешь ходить везде, где желаешь, Взять всё, что ты хочешь, если ты хочешь. Наверно, мир в твоих руках, Весь этот мир в твоих руках, Этот мир в твоих руках, Весь этот мир в твоих руках, Сумбур в моей голове, Когда уже кончится всё это. Мне говорят: «Подожди рассвета». Но я не хочу жить, Я хочу всё забыть, И я устал ждать тёплого лета. Они не понимают, Какой была дорога, И в прошлом всего было много: Поражения и победы, Но я готов всё бросить. И пусть смерть подводит итоги. Мне говорят: «Подожди Всё ещё там впереди!» Но бесконечны дожди… Я опустел - ничего Не осталось во мне, И кто был со мной - ушли. Ничего не понять, нет… Надежда не оставляет след, И моя вера - в хлам. Нужно сохранить любовь, Я думаю, что ты сможешь, И я ухожу в яркий свет. Вся жизнь - борьба, война, Полностью не вздохнуть. Только страдание, боль. И я не ищу причин, Чтобы дальше идти, Я отыграл свою роль. Недостижимым был мой идеал Боже, как я устал… И теперь кончен бал… Я сдаюсь, Я уже не вернусь. И я, наверно, всё проиграл… Я пытался, Бился, старался, Но, увы, значит - всё зря. И мне остаётся только ждать, Когда горизонт ярко вспыхнет - Когда взойдёт заря. Время идти туда, Где яркая звезда, Последняя строчка. Это просто финал, Я так сильно устал - Выстрел поставит точку.
"you can walk on the water, shine like a diamond ring the bells of fortune if you dare you can make any move that you wanna make take everything that you can if you dare JUST THINK THE WORLD IS IN YOUR HANDS"
Another timeless majical euphoric 1990s song 🎵 that still sounds as fresh as the day it was released!!! Nearly 3 decades later and this song 🎵 is timeless and sounds better than this boring 😴 shite music 🎶 of the 2020s 😎🥰🥳🥳🥳🥳
I hope you don't mind if I make some corrections to your statement: First of all, the techno, electric or later, eurodance music, emerge from electronic music and is a phenomenon specific to Europe. This is where it all begins, grows and it has his roots. Culture Beat - Germany (Tania Evans - U.K. and Jay Suppreme - U.S.A.) 2 Unlimited - Netherland (Anita Doth and Ray Slijngaard - both Dutch) From UK are Moby, Prodigy, Take That, East 17, etc
