1. QED consists of chart-top… Read Full Bio ↴THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO BANDS NAMED QED:
1. QED consists of chart-topping Valentin and vocalist Kristine Hendricks. Artist, writer and producer Valentin is the mastermind behind QED. Having taken the world by storm with his hit remix of Deborah Cox's Something Happened on the Way to Heaven and his uplifting remix of the Billboard smash hit Beautiful by Christina Aguilera (No 1 on Billboard’s Dance Chart with major radio play across Europe). QED's other member is classically trained Kristine Hendricks, whose soaring lead vocals are a perfect match for Valentin's uplifting production style.
Their new album, Mobius, features the hits "Love Bites" (the acclaimed high-energy remake of the Def Leppard classic) and the infectious "Hardly a Day". Mobius also contains 11 other blistering dance tracks.
The single Hardly a Day features an infectious melody punctuated with a euphoric keyboard hook, while the dark, tribal yet trancelike opus Vampyre features a diva-like operatic vocal performance by Hendricks, supported by Valentin's medieval chorus chant. Islands is a haunting duet, destined to become a classic ballad, while the sensuous electronica of Alone is in a category by itself. Lastly, Epilogue, the album's majestic coda and a companion song to Hardly a Day, will surprise listeners with its aggressive, crunching guitars and epic feel.
Attending a QED show is like being dropped into a video game. High-velocity dance grooves set the pace. The well-crafted melodic hooks and lush production provide the depth. If anime were to spring to life on stage, it would be a QED live show. The mind-bending, high-tech visuals they create on the fly don’t overpower…they enhance the evocative vocals and the sumptuous instrumentation.
On stage, Valentin and Hendricks perform alongside incredible visual projections generated from computer keyboards, touch pads, digital cameras and musical instruments to create a whole new dimension of live, multimedia entertainment. It’s like step inside the latest anime game with all its action, twists and turns, colours, textures, nuances and sub-plots.
No wonder QED was a featured performer at "Not So Silent Night", a major dance concert sponsored by WPYM in Miami at the Coconut Grove Expo Center. The groundbreaking video for Love Bites was exclusively premiered at the flagship Apple store in Soho, New York and will soon premiere across America.

QED Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If i walk away like i dont care
Will you magically appear
Oh to wipe away my tears
O the feeling in the darkness
O i could swear
You feel, so near
(female)
Let me tell you how i feel,
I never felt a love so real,
Like an island from a cloud,
You'd picked me some how,
I was yours and you were mine,
In another place and time
Like two islands in the sea,
Seperated endlessly
(male)
Now say you love me like you do,
And all the things i wanna hear,
O all the things you whisper in my ear,
If all the things i lie behind you,
Show me how to work understandyou're here, right now,
And i cant even touch your hand
(female)
Let me tell you how i feel,
I never felt a love so real,
Like an island from a cloud,
You'd picked me some how,
I was yours and you were mine,
In another place and time
Like two islands in the sea,
Seperated endlessly
Is there a chance for love, like i've been dreaming of,
Dreaming about why you and me are gone,
So im holding onnnnn...
Let me tell you how i feel,
I never felt a love so real,
Like an island from a cloud,
You'd picked me some how,
I was yours and you were mine,
In another place and time
Like two islands in the sea,
Seperated endlessly
Seperated endlessly
ENVIADO POR VITTOR MAQUIEL
The lyrics to QED's song Islands depict the longing and desire for love and connection. The male singer expresses his hope that his love interest will appear and be there for him in his time of need, as he struggles with feelings of loneliness and darkness. He yearns for the comfort that only love can provide, and begs for tangible proof that she is truly there with him. The female singer, on the other hand, reminisces about a love so real that it felt like two islands in the sea, connected yet eternally separated. She wonders if there is a chance for them to find each other again, even as she holds onto the memories of their past.
Overall, the song Islands explores the nuances of human connection, the yearning for love and the pain of separation. The lyrics offer an insight into the depths of human emotion and the hope that we hold onto despite the odds against us.

If i walk away like i dont care
I am afraid to show my emotions and vulnerability, so I may leave to protect myself
Will you magically appear
I'm hoping that you'll come to me and make everything better
Oh to wipe away my tears
I need someone to comfort me and help me through my sadness
O the feeling in the darkness
I am overwhelmed by my emotions and feel lost
O i could swear
I am so certain of my feelings and emotions
You feel, so near
I feel like you are with me, even though you may not physically be there
Just touch me if you're really there
I long for physical and emotional connection with you
Let me tell you how i feel,
I want to express my emotions and let you know how I truly feel
I never felt a love so real,
I have never experienced such a deeply emotional and powerful love before
Like an island from a cloud,
Our love feels like a special, almost magical place
You'd picked me some how,
You seem to have chosen me for a special purpose
I was yours and you were mine,
We belong to each other and no one else
In another place and time
Our love transcends the physical world and exists in another realm
Like two islands in the sea,
We are connected but also separated and unique
Seperated endlessly
Our separation seems like it will never end, but our love remains strong
Now say you love me like you do,
I need to hear your words of love to feel reassured
And all the things i wanna hear,
I need to be affirmed and reassured through your words
O all the things you whisper in my ear,
The tender and heartfelt things you say are so important to me
If all the things i lie behind you,
My past mistakes and hurts don't matter because of our love
Show me how to work understandyou're here, right now,
Help me understand how to work through our obstacles and be present in this moment
And i cant even touch your hand
Our physical separation makes it hard to be close and intimate
Is there a chance for love, like i've been dreaming of,
I hope there is a chance for a love that is deeply meaningful and fulfilling
Dreaming about why you and me are gone,
I am struggling with our separation and trying to make sense of it
So im holding onnnnn...
I'm holding onto hope that we can be together again
Seperated endlessly
Our separation seems like it will never end, but our love remains strong

Someone please remix this into a synthwave version with a saxophone playing along. These tunes could get hugely popular with the right promotion.
