Finally
Kings Of Tomorrow And Danny Tenaglia Mix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time keeps its own time,
Here we stand at beginning,
And then goes passing us by
And I, I, I can'T dream for us all,
I hope I'm in a better state,
When here and now crumbles and falls
I knew you'd come knocking one day,
Unannounced like a thief in the night.
So tell me how do you do
Finally I meet you
You don't know what I've been through,
Waiting and wondering about you
I had a dream my trip would end UP at you,
And now I know paradise.
Where do we go from here,
Time ain't nothing but time,
I now have no fear of my fears
And no more tears to cry,
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow means nothing at all
If we don't hear the line,
When today places its call, and morning, morning,
Morning won't ever be the same,
Now I won't make the same mistakes, time and time again
Time and time again
So tell me how do you do
Finally I meet you
You don't know what I've been through,
Waiting and wondering about you
I had a dream my trip would end up at you,
And now I know paradise.
So tell me how do you do
Finally I meet you
You don't know what I've been through,
Waiting and wondering about you
I had a dream my trip would end up at you,
And now I know paradise.
The lyrics to Kings of Tomorrow's Finally are rich with themes of time, patience, and destiny. The song begins by acknowledging the unstoppable march of time and the fact that we are powerless to stop it. Despite this, the song suggests that there may be a kind of personal timelessness that lies beyond the daily grind of life. This theme is picked up in the next lines which talk about standing at the beginning and watching time pass us by. Here, the listener gets a sense of the fleeting nature of life and the importance of seizing the moment before it is too late.
The chorus is a powerful expression of the song's central message. It is a message about fate, destiny, and the power of perseverance. The singer is hopeful that they will be in a better state when the present moment crumbles and falls. They are also certain that they will meet someone who can make their world collide. It is a statement of pure hope and anticipation, but it is also a reminder of how powerful the present moment can be if we are willing to seize it.
Overall, the song is an optimistic meditation on the many mysteries of life. It suggests that anything is possible if we are willing to keep moving forward and take whatever life throws our way with a grain of salt. It is a message that is timeless and uplifting and speaks to the very heart of what it means to be alive.

Time marches on never ending,
Time keeps moving forward without any pause.
Time keeps its own time,
Time follows its own course and cannot be controlled.
Here we stand at beginning,
We are at the starting point of our journey.
And then goes passing us by
Time goes by quickly and we are left behind.
I, I, I can't dream for us all,
I cannot dream for everyone, only for myself.
I hope I'm in a better state,
I hope to be in a better mental state.
When here and now crumbles and falls
In times of distress, my hope is to be mentally strong.
And you, you, you who make worlds collide
The person who causes change and creates new opportunities.

Unannounced like a thief in the night.

And no more tears to cry,
I have no more sadness left inside me.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow means nothing at all
The future is uncertain and cannot be relied upon.
If we don't hear the line,
If we do not listen to our inner selves.

When opportunities come our way.
Morning won't ever be the same,
The morning after change occurs will be different.

Time marches on never ending,
Time keeps its own time,
Here we stand at beginning,
And then goes passing us by,
And I, I, I can dream for us all,
I hope I'm in a better state,
When here and now crumbles and falls
And you, you , you who make worlds collide
I knew you'd come knocking one day,
Unannounced like a thief in the night.
Where do we go from here,
Time ain't nothing but time,
I now have no fear of my fears
And no more tears to cry,
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow means nothing at all
If we don't hear the line,
When today places its call, and morning, morning, morning
Won't ever be the same,
Now I won't make the same mistakes, time and time again
Now I won't make the same mistakes, time and time again
So tell me how do you do
Finally I meet you
You don't know what I've been through
Waiting and wondering about you
I had a dream my trip would end at you
And now I know paradise

Probably the greatest remix of all time, thank you Danny Tenaglia for this masterpiece etched in history forever and is now 21 years old already!

From danny himself today: 'Finally' is now officially 20 years old! 🎶
It was an incredible honor to have had the opportunity to remix one of the most legendary deep house songs of our time. The amazing lyrics with a story that is both hypnotizing and fun to sing along with, and a great performance by Julie McKnight. I've worked on a couple of hundred songs since 1988 and this one shall remain in my top 5 for all eternity, with no doubt. Peter Daou added that amazing piano solo for me and Jim Albert was the engineer making it sound as great as it does.
Most people do not know this story, but I was in my studio in NY when completing the remix and I could never forget this day for as long as I live. I was getting calls and messages to turn on the TV and it was when the first airplane struck one of the Twin Towers on 911. Obviously, I was not going back down to finish what I was doing, and it had put a huge damper on the project as it would've been impossible to easily get straight back into the groove and feel any joy in the studio. This song is about a loved one and then reuniting in Paradise. On that day, 1000s & 1000s lost loved ones and 'Finally' will always have that very special extra meaning to me." @defectedrecords

Real house from the golden era. Think I listened to this 2-3000 times. Bassline is pure classic and genius.

I think this is my favourite mix so far. Most of the other mixes don't do it justice but this just works. Love how the music builds up slowly then climaxes. Wishing I could dance house.
