Ok Michael et al, the lyrics are
"WHEREVER YOU GO, I WANT TO BE, COS GIRL YOU KNOW, YOU'RE MY DESTINY, WHEREVER YOU ARE, I WANT TO KNOW, COS I'M GONNA FOLLOW YOU DOWN THAT ROAD, SO TAKE ME WITH YOU, TAKE ME WITH YOU, TAKE ME WITH YOU
REPEAT FIRST VERSE
SO TAKE ME WITH YOU, I KNOW THIS FEELIN' IS TRUE, ARE YOU FEELIN IT TOO."
For those of you thinking what the fuck, Cosmos-Take Me With You is this amazing intergalactic mystical bleepy electrohouse epic, EPIC track that I've loved pretty much all summer. Think Stardust stuck through a timewarp and fired into the stars until all that bizarre star wars hyperspeed shit happens. The artist name Cosmos is very apt. Anyway they've brought out a 3 minute radio edit with vocals by andrew roachford, how odd this is to me let me tell you. A song you've loved for about 3 months and suddenly it has these vocals in it, incredibly cheesey, it's changed from obscurely beautiful house thumper to bonjoviesque power house ballad.
But the best part is, now I can sing along to it! Imagine how much fun those lyrics are to sing when you're drunk. God I love the new edit alot.
Any anecdotes of music you love totally changing in this way? I now have 2 songs I like. Bizarre.

I'm trying to think of an example that didn't just ruin the original.

Do you know this tune Tim? You'd be into it I'd say, although it's a massive club smash I tend to prefer it as home listening, but if you get a chance it's pretty enjoyable.

hey, ronan, you requested back-up?
ronan's right, this is a classic. i know there's plenty of people around here who love shiny, sparkly house a-la stardust well if you get the chance have a listen to this. loved the instrumental all year, makes "music sounds better with you" sound like leonard cohen. i expected the new roachford vocal to ruin it but, against all odds, it transforms it into "one more time" style testifying. nothing to do with ver punk, it's homegrown genius tom middleton, but the comparison's seem somehow apt. there's a lot of love here. i'm surprised it's only the ilm house-heads singing the tracks praises, has no-one else heard it?

Yeah it's only out I think, christ the vocal remix is something new and magnificent, I made my friend play it at about 6 on Saturday morning and I was belting it out with a few people by the end of it. Also the vocal remix has that wicked part in the climax where the two drums just go one after another like in Another Chance by Roger Sanchez or something.

It's a gorgeous track. I can see what Ronan means when he says he prefers it as home listening. It's really spangly and sweet. I haven't heard the vocal versh of it but I couldn't imagine a vocal on it the first time I heard it but I can see it now. I still think a vocal is unneccesary
