1. Mihajlo Veruović (born 15 September 2001 in Belgrade, Serbia), known professionally as Voyage is a Serbian singer and musician.
2. An Electronic / Chillwave / Synthwave artist from Belgium, active since 2017.
3. A European disco group. Their lone Billboard Hot 100 entry was "Souvenirs," which hit number forty-one in 1979. They had much better luck on the U.S. Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, where two of their albums, "Voyage" and "Fly Away", hit number one in 1978. They also had three hit singles in the U.K.
4. A Techno / Trance outfit. Released an EP titled "Beyond Time" in 1994, also contributed tracks to a number of Trance and Ambient compilations.
5. A Dutch gothic/ doom band, forerunner of Within Temptation, formed by Robert Westerholt and Jeroen van Veen.
Formerly known as The Circle. Founding member Robert Westerholt left The Circle during the recording of their 1st album in 1995 due to creative differences, and immediately afterwards the band changed their name to 'Voyage', because Robert insisted on taking the name with him. Therefore, the band's album was released under the band name Voyage; titled 'Embrace' (1996, Nightfall Records). This album was originally intended to be The Circle's debut album. Robert co-wrote most material from 'Embrace', but he wasn't mentioned in the booklet at all. Robert was replaced on the album recordings by Patrick Harreman.
After the name change of The Circle, Robert Westerholt founded the well known band Within Temptation, with some of the Voyage-members joining him aswell (after Voyage split up). Also in 'WT' is Robert's long time partner Sharon den Adel, who did a guest appearance on the song 'Frozen' from the album 'Embrace', the ment-to-be debut album of The Circle. Her contribution can still be heard on the album as it was released by Voyage, so this particular song must have been recorded before Robert left the band.
The Voyage song 'Frozen' (ft. Sharon den Adel) was put on the internet a couple of months before the release of Within Temptation's 'The Heart of Everything' album because it was thought to be the track 'Frozen' from that album. However, both songs are completely different and this was a total mix up. The Voyage track 'Frozen' is a reworking of a track recorded by The Circle for a DSFA compilation.
Voyage disbanded not long after the release of their 1st (and only) album. Some of it's members would end up with Robert Westerholt in his new band Within Temptation.

8. A Tribal / Experimental / Ambient band, released "Kelimdance" in 1994.
9. A Japanese visual/kei band active in 2004/2005 (Ｖｏｙａｇｅ).
10. Polynesian Folk group from Tahiti

Souvenirs will make you leave here today
For a world of joy and living
A world of love and giving away, far away
Souvenirs are signs that take me away

For a world of joy and living
'Cause all we need is a world of dreams
Forgotten feelings come back in streams
Come join us. Don't hesitate
Just be yourself, be free, let's be free

I am 64 , and this song takes me back to the discos, smoke lifted stages, very upbeat, it makes the world a happy place.
@RumbleFish69
Today, I am 58-years old today and listening to this song, today, has a far different meaning in my heart and soul. Listening to this song, today, in this moment, is truly a souvenir for me.
Today, I listen to this song, and instead of enjoying just the beat, I listen to the words...I really listen to the words....I am consumed and moved by these words.
When I was a young boy, these words had no meaning. I never realized how deep the words to this song truly were. When I was young, there was no need for me to understand what a souvenir was, because young people have no archives, no deep memories; at least not yet. But today, these words have far more meaning and significance because I have built a library of memories.
Almost everything I pick up in my home today, an old record, an old photo with a long lost loves, a hat I used to wear 15-years ago, or the hat my father wore before he passed away. Maybe even just listening to this song, and the great times this song gave me...almost anything, is now a souvenir for me with so many memories attached.
I would really love to record an acoustic version of this song... A song that focuses on the words and puts the beat on the side for a while. I think I'm going to work on that.

I'm 69, and this song brings me the greatest joy of remembering my dancing days and felling so happy and free if only for just a few minutes.
@RumbleFish69
@@wwonka52 That is wonderful! Music is what connects us all to a simpler time in our lives. Times of joy and happiness. Times we all remember fondly.
@JacquesMesrine94
I'm 37 and I approve everything you said.
This song, this masterpiece, also has a meaning for me, as it reminds me of the loss of my Mother, that timeline, this era (it was 20 yrs ago), when I used to listen to it...
Take car Brother, Life is so wonderful despite all the bad things !
@RumbleFish69
@@JacquesMesrine94 Thank you for your kind acknowledgment, friend. And yes, life is wonderful, but it is especially wonderful when we have fond memories and great music to look back upon. The things that will guarantee our smiles from the day the smiles were conceived to our last day.
The only certainty that we are all guaranteed is is death, however, there is nothing that says we cannot go out smiling as we recall the wonderful lives that we all have experienced.
Take care, my friend and I am glad to know that I have a fellow lover of this song!
