Winter
Andrea Britton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is ice, alive, turn ice into fire
I want, I need, to feel such desire
A pain lies deep, in the heart of my soul
This truth, unfolds, and I'm losing control
And I'm losing control..
I drift in this place, I can't see ahead
[x2]
And it's cold, outside, and I feel the winter
There's a chill, in the air, of secrets untold
Hey yeah.. ohh ahh..
Tonight, I crave, sunlight on my face
For I, can see, it's lonely in space
A touch, can make, your senses awake
But fear, controls, your every mistake
Your every mistake..
I drift in this place, I can't see ahead
Searching around, for the answers..
[x4]
And it's cold, outside, and I feel the winter
There's a chill, in the air, of secrets untold
Hey yeah.. ohh ahh..
And it's cold outside.. and it's cold, outside
And it's cold outside..
[x4]

Trance will never be this good again. The golden age was the early 2000s.

Aaand that’s when it died

I feel like '98 till '08 might probably have been the best decade of my life.
Entranced
Wrong. There's actually a lot of insanely good trance that has come out within the past 10 years and even quite recently. The early years were amazing for sure but more modern stuff is incredible. You're missing out.

Such a pleasure to re-discover (again) this trance classic by Darren Tate & Andrea Britton... true classic - you can tell that D. Tate is classically trained, beautiful, hypontic song, which didn't achieve a much-deserved high chart position... I LOVE 'WINTER'!
Bayoudigger
This song got me through college. It has timeless value.
