You Got To Go

I am of the opinion that 2011's "You Got To Go" by Above & Beyond is one the most beautiful trance song and music video combinations ever produced by any artist, period! Please pardon my hyperbole and feel free to disagree with me. I have heard a lot of musical pieces from this genre and likewise seen many accompanying music videos and have many favorites but this takes the cake. This tune is transcendent trance and as close to modern musical perfection as one can attain in this age of electronica. The structure of the song is clearly top notch compared to so much of the mediocrity that is out there and even by A&B's high standards it stands out. Add to this  hauntingly beautiful lyrics capturing the hope and innocence of youth combined with the goose-bump inducing vocals of Zoe Johnston and a music video that is dreamy and beautiful and captures the spirit perfectly of the song's lyrics and one has a masterpiece. I have placed the lyrics below. Try to play this song through your home entertainment system's speakers and crank it up but be sure to watch the video below.

Dream on little dreamer

And this is how it all begins

Move your feet

Feel how sweet it is

Dream on little dreamer

Follow all of your own signs

You got to gather what you need

You got to choose a direction

And when the moment is right for you

You got to go

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/above-beyond-you-got-to-go-lyrics.html ]

You gotta keep your ideals high

You got to know that the sky belongs to no one

And you know you got to go

Keep on little dreamer

Keep hold of all that you earn

Move your feet

Feel how sweet it is

Dream on little dreamer

Follow all of your own signs

You got to gather what you need

You got to choose a direction

And when the moment is right for you

You got to go

You gotta keep your ideals high

You got to know that the sky belongs to no one

And you know you got to go
