The whole album is wonderful. But the first track “Loveher” sets the mood, the tone, for everything that follows. dance music that tears at your heart.
Dance with me, shoulder to shoulder
Never in the world have two others been closer than us
Hold my hand under the table
It's not that I'm not proud in the company of strangers
It's just some things are for us

favourite song of all time. i play it when i wake up because i can’t help but dance when i hear it, i belt it out in the shower, when i hear it at the club all my friends scream with me because they know it’s my song. (special mention to it featuring in baz luhrmann’s romeo and juliet - therefore being the song accompanying the best ever samba on strictly come dancing) best believe that despite its lyrics it will be playing at my wedding because i can’t live without it

A new version of an old song; an old song, “L’Amour Toujours” by Gigi D’Agostino, made slower and more lethargic by a teenage Lithuanian DJ. A song about dreams, about the things you’ve been waiting for, coming down to you, but only in your mind. A tale as old as time!In London in the Noughties I never went to Italo disco clubs. But my buddy Joel, a fantastic furniture designer, did. He told me the first time he went, as a teenager, he was standing in line outside, hoping to get in, and an elegant lady stepped out of the club wearing a silk gown, smoking, walking a ferret on a leash. That’s how he knew he was in the right place.D’Agostino wears a lot of hats. Often he dresses like a pilot. He’s been a mega Italo disco star since the Eighties, his music gives the feeling of driving around Tuscany at sunset in a sports car. His “Bitter Sweet Symphony” is sublime. The sound of Italy and England in perfect romantic harmony; Byron swimming to Shelley across the Bay of Poets.
