Innocente

I liked the voice of Leigh Nash that fronted the group Sixpence None the Richer since I first heard it in the late 1990's when the song "Kiss Me" was all over the radio. Following my initiation into the world of trance and modern electronica in 2001 as described HERE I stumbled upon the music of Delerium and various incredible trance remixes of their music, most notably then-DJ Tiesto's (now just Tiesto) remix of "Innocente" shown below and immediately was transfixed by the fusion of Delerium's haunting sound and Tiesto's trancetacular rhythms and Nash's goosebump-inspiring vocals all blended in the single below:



You can't see my eyes
You can't see my eyes
They don't see yours
Hear me when I say
I don't mind at all

It's the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger or a ghost
It's the quiet of a storm approaching
That I fear the most
It's the pain that I hear coming
The slightest crystal tear, drops to the ground
In silence, when my love is near.
Darling, when did you fall? When was it over?
Darling when? When did you fall? When was it over?

It's marching through my door now
The stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and then my lonesome song begins
It's marching through my door now
The stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and now my lonesome song begins

Darling, when did you cry? I couldn't hear you
Darling when? When did you cry? I couldn't hear you

I suppose it is the price of falling in love
I suppose it is the price of falling in love

It's the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger, not a ghost
Of the quiet of a storm approaching
That i fear the most
It's the pain that i hear coming

The slightest crystal tear drops to the ground
In silence when my love is near
It's marching through my door now the stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and now my lonesome song will end

Darling when did we fall? When was it over?
Darling when? When did we fall? When was it over?

I suppose it is the price of falling in love.
I fear that it's the price of falling in love
