@Gandalfgeo1

Another great track from ATB! Simple lyrics but superb backing and pitched vocals which convey the emotional message of song perfectly. ATB is arguably the best DJ and mixer alive in the trance genre.

This might be the most original song ATB has ever made. Looking back at Dedicated... I kind of get the feeling that it is a very creative album. I mean it does have some radio hits like "Hold You" or "Let You Go", but then you listen to something like "I Can´t Stand... or "Remember" and it just takes you to a completely different place.
