2) Fire & Ice is a trance formation consisting of Laurent Véronnez aka L-Vee and Jurgen Leyers aka DJ Fire.
They met at Love Parade '97 and after a long talk decided to do a project together, with focus on producing "emotional trance". Their first single "Lost Emotions" hit Europe by storm and is still one of their biggest hits so far. After that first one, other big hits followed : "What you are for me/Out of Darkness", "Beyond my control", "Neverending Melody" and "Forever Young".
Their single "Lost Emotions 2001" made them big in Germany and Switzerland. They belong to the favorites of e.g. Tiesto and Armin van Buuren. Practically every single reached the top 10 of the Belgian dance charts... The next single "Souvenir de Chine" (a cover of a Jean-Michel Jarre track) continued their path of success all over Europe. Their remix of Sonic Inc.'s single "The Taste of Summer" scored massively all over! It stayed as the number 1 entry of the Belgian Dance charts for 2 consecutive weeks and went Top 50 in the Dutch singles chart. Their other releases "Heart and Mind" and "Close to me" both scored massively and can be found on leading compilations like Ferry Corsten"s "Washington MTV". "Samoa/Para Siempre" became a big trancehit all over the globe and was played by every top DJ.
Close To Me
Fire & Ice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You gotta' hold me close
I saw it in you from the start
Don't play with my heart like a harp
I may hit that note a Lil' flat baby
But she know my knife it be sharp
And I know that you have been hurt
It hurts me when I see you cry
I'm lucky to be here alive
So I gotta' hold you close
And I wanna do the most
And I wanna cop that wraith
But she don't wanna see my ghost
And ya'll never see my pain
Cuz I always keep that door closed
I gotta' numb my feelings, hol' up
I gotta make a toast
I'm thankful for you tonight
You treat me, you treat me so right
I know that we both in the shadows girl
But I think that I see the light
Just let me make everything right
Sometimes I ain't using my head
But when it's the end of the night
I want you all up in my bed
Bed, bed, bed, bed
You gotta' hold me close
You gotta' hold me close
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah woah
You saw it in me from the start
Woah
You saw it in me from the start
Hold me close
You saw it in me from the start
Woah
You saw it in me from the start
Hold me, hold me, hold me close
You saw it in me from the start
Woah
You saw it in me from the start
Hold me close

The singer goes on to mention the pain they have felt in the past and how it hurts them to see their partner cry. The lines, "And I know that you have been hurt, It hurts me when I see you cry," express the empathy the singer feels for their partner's pain. The singer also acknowledges their mistakes by saying, "Sometimes I ain't using my head," but they know that their partner makes everything right.

Just let me make everything right
I want to fix any problems or issues we may have together
Sometimes I ain't using my head
Sometimes I make mistakes or act impulsively
But when it's the end of the night
By the end of the day, all I want is you by my side
I want you all up in my bed
I want to share intimate moments with you
You saw it in me from the start
You recognized my potential or worth from the beginning
Hold me close
Please keep me close to you

@jimcollins9999
It doesn't get any better than this! The 80's were awesome. 👍
@kenperkins7921
T the super 70s is number one bia little the 60s would have made it even tighter if not for the Vietnam War. The the 90s came in next and may have moved up more if they hadn't killed themselves off so quickly, the 80 was too much of a rip off of the SUPER 70S
I blame video games
The 80 kids didn't put in the, blood, sweat and tears needed to become legendary but at least they had fun.
@kenperkins7921
LOL
@jimcollins9999
@@kenperkins7921 The 70's were a great decade for music 4 sure, but the 80's saw more than double the bands and total songs released. Don't get me wrong, the 70's were a great decade of music that I believe are the top 2 decades in music history. 👍
