Their first single, "Around The World (La La La La La)" (which was a cover of the song "Pesenka" of the Russian group Ruki Vverh) was number one in Germany for six weeks in 2000. It was later on a Top 40 hit in the United States and United Kingdom. The song was in television commercial for General Electric in the United States. It has since been covered by DJ Carlee and re-titled "Dizzie Round The World" in the Hardcore techno genre[1]. The song was also covered in 2007 by the band BeFour under the name "Magic Melody."
Their debut album Planet Pop featuring songs from Alex Christensen and Clyde Ward was released on February 6, 2001, by Sony BMG Music Entertainment, for which they were awarded an ECHO for 'Best Dance Act'. Similar sounding follow-up singles were successful in parts of Europe, but A Touch of Class are mainly remembered for their first hit.
They originally were promoted as "ATC" but the DJ and producer ATB successfully took the band's record label to court, and they were forced to change their name to A Touch Of Class. Three singles were released from their second album Touch The Sky in 2003 but they were not particularly successful, and the group decided to go their separate ways.
Secret World
A Touch Of Class Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Faster than the stars are flying
You can close your eyes and feel free
In my secret world
It's just another rainy day
You need to find another way
To get away from this dimension
Listen to what you feel inside
There is no need for you to hide
Follow me through these new directions
You can dream about it
Fantasize it
Come into my world
Comets in the skies are shining
Faster than the stars are flying
You can close your eyes and feel free
In my secret world
I know there's something in your mind
Each time I look into your eyes
We can create a new connection
Together we play this simple game
Whenever you need me, call my name
Feel this pure vibration
You can dream about it
Fantasize it
Come into my world
Comets in the skies are shining
Faster than the stars are flying
You can close your eyes and feel free
In my secret world
Comets in the skies are shining
Faster than the stars are flying
You can close your eyes and feel free
In my secret world
Hear me, calling, fall into my secret world
Hear me, calling...
Comets in the skies are shining
Faster than the stars are flying
You can close your eyes and feel free
In my secret world
Listen to my voice and singing
Melodies you never heard
Only when you let yourself fall in my secret world
Comets in the skies are shining
Faster than the stars are flying
You can close your eyes and feel free
In my secret world
The lyrics of "Secret World" by A Touch of Class describe a world that is hidden and inaccessible to most people. The image of shining comets in the sky implies that this world is mysterious and magical. The singer invites the listener into his or her secret world, where they can feel free and dream about anything they want. It's a world where rainy days and other problems of ordinary life have no power, and new directions can be explored. The lyrics are about creating a connection with someone that is deeper than anything in the everyday world, a pure vibration that is created when they play their simple game together. To be in the secret world, one has to let go and fall into it, but the rewards are great.
