This Italian … Read Full Bio ↴E.X.P. are Jimmy Nicoli, Luca Galiati and Mario Borgonovo.
This Italian Eurodance trio. E.X.P. were noticed right from the start with their first single "Before The Night" in 1992.
Their formula was simple and consisted to release dance tracks similar to the popular German dance hits of the time. And so "Before The Night" was based on "Understand This Groove" by SoundFactory while "Shake Your Body" was based on Snap!'s "Rhythm Is A Dancer".
The titles of E.X.P. were very 'DJ Friendly' and began to be mixed by DJ's with the hits they were based on.
Fronted by vocalists Julia and Katya Dave, E.X.P. collected the club hits.
"Before The Night" was used in a mash up by The Original. "Shake Your Body" and "Save Me" did well in Europe and Canada.
The latter singles got lost in the saturated market of Eurodance. "The Sound (Keep Rolling)" (1994) was heavily based on Corona's "Rhythm Of The Night" while "Dunga! Dunga!" (1995), the very last song to be released by E.X.P., was very similar to "Dub-I-Dub" by Me & My.
The Sound
E.X.P. Feat. Julia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The fear that stopped us
It is the sound of your breath while you lie
It is the sound of the mistakes we made
It is the sound of the time that's passed
And that's passing now
And don't point your finger at me
You unstable rotting soul
We were tied together by the fate
By the scars we were trying to hide
And i'm begging you
Don't make my eyes meets yours again
Because your pain will take me
And i could die
This time
"The Sound" by E.X.P. feat. Julia is a song that speaks to a deep sense of fear that has stopped us from moving forward. The sound being referred to is a metaphor for the various things that have held us back, whether it be our own mistakes, the time that has passed, or the breath that we take while lying in a state of unease. This fear and anxiety can be seen as a manifestation of our unstable and rotting souls that we try to cover up with scars that only serve to tie us together in a shared human experience.
The singer is begging the subject not to make her eyes meet theirs again because the pain that they carry within themselves is so great that it could take her down with them. This realization is deeply unsettling, and the sound that comes with it is a reminder of the fragility of our existence. It is a call to pay attention to the things that hold us back and to address them rather than try to hide them away, as they will only continue to grow and fester underneath the surface.
Overall, the song is a poignant and emotional reflection on the human condition, and the sense of shared pain that we all carry within ourselves.
