Duncan Sheik - On A High (Gabriel & Dresden's Love From Humboldt Mix)

this has got to be the first SOLID tune of 2003. It's an absolutely beautiful song. After armins Yet Another Day, this is a top notch male vocal track. It's so uplifting. agree?

can't wait for the release. forget the dub, the vocals MAKE this track, w00t!

respond

Very good song. One of Gabriel and Dresden's best remixes. I have to go with the vocal version too because it does make the song.

AWESOME!

I've been banging this one out for over a month now and still love it. Excellent remix by G&D, but that's expected from them. I think that Gabriel & Dresden are going to be huge this year.

Boring

I thought this G&D remix was one of their worst.
The production is starting to follow a similar pattern of their previous remixes. Slow beats hidden by a strong vocal.
I guess I dont like this one because the Sheik vocal is horrible sounding in my opinion.

This is my TOP tune right now! I posted about it a couple of weeks ago. All I can find is a set rip of it..... Does anyone have a full rip of it?

lyrics (of the original)

such beautiful lyrics

I'm on a high, I'm on a high
there's nothing more to it.
We are the sea and the sky
and the blue that runs through it, yeah.

and there are some who say there are so many things I need
so I run or I fight and I crawl or I scream and I bleed
I bleed, I bleed

well, it's a lie it's a lie - don't you believe it.
if you're fine then you're fine - it's all how you see it.
oh, there never will be no conspiracy of happiness.

I'm on a high I'm on a high
and there's nothing more to it
I have the sun, it's a star
why should I refuse it

and there are so many reasons I could give you why I should be down
there's not enough money or time and my love you're not around
around, around

but it's a lie it's a lie - don't you believe it.
if you're fine then you're fine - it's all how you see it.
oh, there never will be no conspiracy of happiness.

you're alive you're alive - how else could you hear me?
you are fine, you are fine - there's nothing worth fearing
'cause there never will be no conspiracy of happiness

I'm on a high, on a high
we are the sea and the sky
I'm on a high, on a high
I'm on a high

It's a lie, It's a lie don't you believe it
'Cause I've tried and I've tried, and I can't really see it
Yeah, I'm trapped inside my conspiracy of happiness
said I was yours, you were mine but I didn't really mean it
and I lied and I lied
and I wish you hadn't seen it
'cause I'm trapped inside my conspiracy of happiness
I'm on a high, on a high, there's nothing more to it, yeah.

This song is awesome. I would venture to say that it could be "anthem material". I, too, believe that G&D will be big this year. On a higggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh

Well man, it depends on taste..
As to 'similar patterns' in fact i like G&D style, in the end every producer uses his own library of samples he created - thats why their works sound so similar, and its an advantage cuz you`re always know the artist name from the first beat/instrument.

Posted by djVersus on Jan-23-2003 17:46:

"on a high" is a great tune, not a bad mix by G and D either but then again, you can't really go wrong with vocals such as "on a high".

I really don't understand how anyone can NOT like the vocals, I guess everyone is different- oh well.

as for Gabriel and Dresden, I must admit that their style is getting a bit bland and their last mixset on global dj broadcast was also too much of the same thing - vocal remixes that share all the same instrumentals, it's the same soundscape with minimal changes.

How strange. I just saw that Duncan Sheik is suppose to play in Dallas the 24th. Very Odd.
