I have been haunted by this song from the first time I heard it on the Ultra Trance 4 compilation album.
Zoe Johnston's voice gives me goosebumps in this track more than almost any other of her performances which is really saying something given how utterly, gorgeously, haunting her voice is which makes it perfect for trance tracks like this one. The version I heard on the album was the Gabriel & Dresden edit directly below. However, I equally enjoy the longer original version replete with trippy video clip from what appears to be some Japanese animated movie. Therefore I have included it below the shorter G&D edit I heard first. This longer version does a better job of bringing out Johnston's voice's magic and mystery while the other version is much more danceable. Be sure to crank up your speakers and if possible play this through your home entertainment system's speakers and not your computer's speakers in order to get the full richness of this music.
The lyrics to this song can hold multiple levels of different relationship meaning. The speaker can be speaking as a human to God or as a man to a woman or a woman to a man, etcetera. I have included them below.
Down through the dark trees
You came to save me
You're so ugly and you're so beautiful
You're like no one on Earth could be
Take me home
Let me be the one
All of my life I've been waiting for you
And I wanna be the one you take home
Let me be the one
Cause I'm so lonely
Take me home with you
No one on Earth else knows me like you do
Take me home
In time you will love me like one of your own
So come on
So come on
Take me home with you
No one on Earth else knows me like you do
Take me home
In time you will love me like one of your own
So come on
So come on
Take me home with you
No one on Earth else knows me like you do
Take me home
In time you will love me like one of your own
So come on
Take, take me home with you
No one on Earth knows me like you do
La la la la la la la I'm going home
I'm glad you enjoyed them, my friend! Thanks for taking the time to check it out and comment... I regret I have not been checking out your blogs much lately or anybody else's for that matter... this Summer has turned out to be the busiest time of my life thus far and it that is after I elected not to try summer school this year.
Both versions are to die for... can't pick just one!
