Lost respect for him now. Why set up such an obvious sequel bait if you have no intention of using it? Dude's waiting until his funds are low to cash in that Scott pilgrim nostalgia again
my dad has been a dj for over 35 years, he still has his gear, and he still uses it in our garage, this is the song he ALWAYS, ALWAYS starts with. And I have known every friggin word since I was a little kid, no matter how many times he plays this it will always be a banger.
I've heard this song back when I was younger. Good thing Drag race Canada brought this song back to my memory, or I 'll forget it for the rest of my life.
I thought she was a one hit wonder until I just heard her last five songs all amazing I didn’t realize he was that great of an artist and drop dead gorgeous
💥Wow ..💕.I just heard this track on Billy Blanks Advanced Tae-bo workout ... Wow ... this track is so💯hot ... I just had to search it out. What a fantastic remix. I'm replaying it like so many times and of course I'm downloading it. It's got to go in my favorites.💃🎶💖 Hey and thanks for uploading the lyrics. You made me doubly ecstatic.
I still have it ! with Hex Hector club mix ect ..one of my alltime fave tracks ..didnt do well in the U.K so glad i bought it as loved the film 54 too!
This is an absolutely atrocious version of this song. The original is a beautiful and melancholy song.. this version makes absolutely no sense with an upbeat tune and deep, sad lyrics. Talentless rip off of what is a very beautiful original song.
Speaking as someone who absolutely loves Lightfoot's original, I was really excited when I discovered that theres a pathway of cover versions throughout the dance music of the late 20th century. From Viola Wills' straightforward but very powerful disco cover (which I think was the first), to any number of early 90's power mix versions (which I will admit are not my favorite) to this version, and beyond. Although the production, and especially the "spanish" guitar intro, are definitely of a very particular time, 1998, I think its still a relatively tastefully done albeit innocuously poppy house-influenced track. The more important thing I want to address, is your absurd contention that "deep, sad lyrics" can't be set over an "upbeat tune." There are musical traditions all around the world that have made danceable songs with lyrics about pain, yearning, displacement, loss of homeland, etc. The music of lots of cultures from the Latin diaspora, eastern european and central Asian ethnic groups stand out in my mind. By your logic, uptempo Blues music shouldn't exist, let alone Rock and Roll? Besides that, Disco and House music in particular, which are almost always "uptempo" have been extremely powerful modes of expression for Black and Latino woman and queer for the last 45 years. They've been a way for the singer or songwriter to express their inner tensions beautifully, and maybe more importantly, for the audiences who identify with the content to excise their pain and commune ON THE DANCEFLOOR with people that have shared experiences. The most obvious example is also conveniently the most popular disco song "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. The line between joy and sorrow can be very fine, and this song, whoever is singing it, captures that balance. Beside the social aspect that I disagree with, there's the simple musicological implication that you're making that "fast can't be sad" or vice versa. It's the same extremely simplified logic that makes people say things like "things in minor keys can't be happy." The countless examples one can give to prove that wrong are just that, countless. I honestly thing you were just just came across this and were trying to troll people into replying "What?!?! There's an original?!?!?!" I guarantee there are other people who like this version who also like the original, and we're happily dancing to this one without the man sitting in the corner grumbling "I wish they were playing Gordon Lightfoot at this dance party."
@@abrahamjacobfriedman Absolutely. Lightfoot is the soundtrack of my childhood and it's refreshing to hear different takes on his compositions. Haven't stopped listening to this since it served as the credits in the Scott Pilgrim show.
I had to scroll all the way to the bottom of the comments to see someone with a brain. This version is terrible its defamation of Gordon and she did not mention his name (if you get it) in the description or anywhere
