Marcie’s Lyric Picks Volume 5: World Cup Edition
Jun 14th
The edge defines us. The border where time as we know it ends. All that came
before is defined by all that will happen after. What were we racing toward?
What did our time mean? What game did we play? Did we win or did we lose?
Fight for your passion, fight .. for your love.
We find meaning in our existence in a multitude of ways, including through
Art, Sports, Education, and Love. We pursue activities that foster self
expression, discovery, and actualization. We are born equipped with a vast
reservoir of energy to dispel across a lifetime, living to define
ourselves. Overcoming hurdles, we seek moments of transcendence, love that
knows no bounds, and goals worth chasing deep into the abyss of the great
unknown.
We learn that regrets don’t arise from losing. Regrets rear their
ugly heads when we feel we didn’t work hard enough, didn’t live up to our
potential, gave up too easily, or cut corners that cost us the game. Regrets
are what darken our edge making it a scary destination.
We are inspired by those who seem to approach their edge fearlessly. Those
who storm it full force, or casually meander up to it with self
assurance, recognizing it isn’t the finish line.
Winning or losing was never the goal, our journey is always more important
than its end. Stand by each other, for when we all hold hands, nobody goes
over the edge alone….”

LYRICS: World’s End
At the end of the world, would you hold my hand
Would you stand by me, would you understand
When the bell it tolls for the end to come
Will you stand by me, watch it come undone
At the end of the world would you run with me
At the end of the world would you come to me
Cuz I’m never gonna give up this fight
I’m gonna be holding on tonight
Raise it up
we’re screaming loud
Raise it up
we’re screaming loud
There’s a champion who lives inside of anyone who tries
Don’t turn it down, find the will to survive
And on the field we’ll be running hard
Sweatin tears, and crying out our prayers to god
(Will you hold my hand)

Marcie’s Lyric Picks Volume 4: Let’s Sing-a-Long!
May 14th
I had two sing-a-long experiences recently. When I performed at Luminosity, I had a chance to sing tracks I’ve written, while people in the crowd were singing the words back to me. It was an incredible feeling to know that we were sharing a musical thought in real time that way. The next night I attended Trance Energy, and caught Emma Hewitt’s live performance of ‘Waiting’. I stood in the crowd with thousands of others, singing along with Emma. When the chorus hit, Dash Berlin dropped the music down to silence, and a roar of voices sang out the chorus line, “I’m Waaaaiiiiting”. It was beautifully powerful, and gave me shivers in a truly ecstatic crowd moment.
The sing-a-long moment at Trance Energy highlighted the power of the human voice. It’s breathtaking how a large crowd singing together sounds like one uniform voice. One voice that is in no need of autotune, or amplification. One voice that doesn’t need a backing track to cover any imperfections. One single voice alone on a track, (like ‘Waiting’), can speak to a million souls. When all those souls sing the song out together, a million souls become one.
Here are some of my favorite tracks to sing along to.
1) Dash Berlin feat. Emma Hewitt- Waiting (see above)
I found this clip on youtube if you’d like to get a taste of Emma live at Trance Energy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0XLKPrVfRM&feature=related#t=1m57s
2) Ace of Bass- The Sign
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7BRs7z_3EU
I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes
I saw the sign
No one’s gonna drag you up to get into the light where you belong…
These lyrics have to be sung with confidence! They are a declaration of independence fueled on the power that comes from leaving toxic influences behind us.
2) Gloria Gaynour- I Will Survive
Check out Gloria singing live in 1979: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Faf1ch7Q9XE
As long as I know how to love
I know I’ll stay alive!
I’ve never heard this track played without a large group of people singing out this triumphant cry. This is music as personal renewal.
3) Ida Corr- Let me think about it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVnFBEU8xeQ
You saying baby
I’ll take you for a ride
Let’s get together
Work it all night….let me think about it.
The hook here is super flirtatious. It’s fun to sing along with, move our bodies, and think about what might come later… It’s definitely a line that can be delivered with sass.
4) Armin van Buuren & Roger Shah feat. Chris Jones- Going Wrong
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVXKecsThoI
And I can’t see today
And I can’t see tomorrow
You’re burning out my head….
Even if it’s going wrong
In his exclusive interview for ‘Behind The Lyric’, Chris Jones said it was his experience performing ‘Going Wrong’ live that convinced him he had penned a lyric that everyone could relate to. He said, ” When you’re playing it live, and absolutely everybody in that room…is singing it back to you onstage, it gives you that special feeling…..That’s the reason that people are in this game….that was always a dream of mine when I was younger: to write a song, and have thousands of people singing back your lyrics….”
(Listen to Chris Jones’ interview here: http://tinyurl.com/3y7mgq5)
5) Roger Shah feat. Inger Hansen- Don’t wake me up
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlYszkgGQdY
In ‘Behind The Lyric- Episode 8′, Inger tells us that he tried to speak of common emotions in this track. We all get lost in our dream worlds, and we all wish at times our real lives were more how we imagine them. It can be painful to wake up from a good dream. But, sometimes we sing out loud to wake ourselves up from reality, and enter the dream state that is music.
6) Above & Beyond feat. Ashley Tomberlin- Can’t Sleep
(This is the only footage I could find of Ashley live): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuqVfmkZe8E
And I can’t sleep… You’re so far away from me
And I can’t sleep… And I can’t sleep
We have all had nights plagued by the elusiveness of sleep. and then fallen victim to the vicious cycle of stress and insomnia. All we can think about is the fact that we are hurting so badly, and that we can’t sleep. And the more we think about it, the more we stay awake. When I hear this song and I’m alone, I may not sing along with it, but just let the words and melody seep into my soul. Ironically, hearing a song sung so gently and emotionally about insomnia can make it easier to relax, which can make it easier to sleep. Singing along can be a soothing way to participate in a relaxing form of meditation.
7) Motorcycle feat. Jes- As The Rush Comes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDAm6mqpPxg&feature=player_embedded#t=3m09s
It’s quite obvious that Jes and her audience have an incredible exchange of energy when she performs live. She is a fantastic performer, and because her songs are recognized by so many in the crowd, the crowd is not only watching a show, but participating in it by singing along, and making personal contact with Jes.
Ferry Corsten feat. Betsie Larkin- Made of Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4kVpQj7sxA#t=1m22s
It just feels amazing to sing ‘We’re all made of Love’ when standing in a crowd. The line brings everyone together.
Let’s think about the potential here…. we all need to use our voice. It’s one of our best tools for creating the world we want. So please remember to sing out loud with each other, be heard, and listen to the voices around you.

Marcie’s Lyric Picks Vol. 3: Getting To Know You
Mar 16th
Many Trance songs speak of how we are affected by the people in our lives. I have invited Sameer Mohamed, aka Birdman, to be a guest on “Lyric Picks” today. We will look at how trance lyrics address the comings and goings of people in our lives. It is fun to dig deep and discuss the meaning of a song with another listener. We may never figure out what the writer truly intended, but we will grow to know each other through the conversation. I can always count on Birdman to make me stop and think, and he is just one example of the amazing people I have met around the world through a shared love of music! I hope you will enjoy this column, as we welcome you to join our conversation as well.
1) Jes – People Will Go
“People will go
People will come”
Birdman: I think the lyrics above summarize the crux of the matter I am trying to convey today: People come into your life for a reason, and people leave your life for a reason. Personally I believe each experience or social encounter in life is a learning opportunity, either about you or the other person involved. It is up to the individual to find the lesson implicated. The individual needs to introspect, understand and analyze to allow growth from the experience.
Marcie: I read a quote recently that goes right along with this, Sameer! It’s from a book called ‘Practicing The Power of Now, and says
“…if you accept that the relationship is here to make you conscious instead of happy, then the relationship will offer you salvation….”
This quote has altered my perspective about my own relationships. Relationships are not meant to fill every void I feel in my soul. They aren’t meant to ‘complete’ me. They are meant to make me aware of my journey through life and to allow me to focus on the here and now, instead of dwelling in the past or worrying about the future. I am grateful to the people in my life who grab my attention and help me accept and fully experience the here and now.
2) Arnej feat Josie – Strangers we’ve Become
“We fell so hard, so young
look at the strangers we’ve become”
Birdman: Off the cuff, it would seem that the lyric speaks only to the aspect of people leaving your life. Well it does in a sense, but I think we need to look prior to the incident of friends becoming strangers. Looking back to our youth, there would be many an instance where we would deem ourselves as not with the best of manner and behaviour. Ultimately, the petty childish behaviour and traits from our self or the other party involved led to a breaking tie in a friendship. I think now as adults, we should ponder the variables of our youth to allow ourselves not to fall into the same traps of “friendship” again.
I believe that an incident is only a mistake when you do it for the second time around. Use the experiences of the people who are out of your life as an assessment criterion of those you now allow in, and on the same note, adjust traits of yourself from the past that pushed people away – to allow people to let you into their life.
Marcie: Everyone deserves a chance. We are all very busy, and it’s impossible to meet and know everyone around us. I don’t think every relationship is meant to last forever, but every interaction teaches us something we can carry forward.
3) Mazzy Star- Into Dust
“It was you breathless and tall
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
And two strangers turning into dust
Turning into dust”
Marcie: For me, this is about fleeting moments with others, and how losing someone important can make us feel we have lost everything we are made of.
3) Cor Fijneman ft. Melissa Mathes – Disappear (Cliff Coenraad & Thomas Hagenbeek Repimp)
“What are you waiting for?
I might disappear
I really need to know
I need to know”
Birdman: As human beings we are generally oblivious to what is good for us. The person we are searching for, the completion of our being and soul could be right under our noses. People are in your life for a moment, for a reason, do not let them disappear.
Marcie: When I hear these lyrics, I hear a desperate plea from a person caught up in a passionate entanglement. There’s desperation here, for while she is saying she may not be there forever, I think deep down she feels that she has no choice but to wait. She cannot turn off her emotions, even though logically she knows that she should walk away. Passion can lead us to traps that are not good for us, but are difficult to escape from. Passion can also illuminate our priorities, and cloud our judgments.
5) The Doppler Effect – Beauty Hides In The Deep
“A little pearl
Locked in a shell…
Beauty hides in the deep”
Birdman: A direct stem from the above, personally I don’t make friends or acquaintances – I make brothers and sisters. To find those people who are not of your blood yet they pulsate through every heartbeat of your being, is no easy feat. Their beauty hides in the deep, it is up to us to find it – before they disappear.
Marcie: This is so well said, Sameer! I don’t always find it easy to like everyone around me, or to accept my own faults or the faults of others. We’re all human, with limits as to what makes us comfortable, and how close we allow ourselves to get to others. I like to believe that people usually have good intentions. Most people are more complicated than we give them credit for. It’s worth it to try to see people for who they really are. Often this is how we learn about ourselves as well.
6) Armin van Buuren feat. Jennifer Rene- Fine Without You
You’ve made it clear now
This is the end
No more goodbyes and sympathies from me
All you still want is a physical thing
But you’ve taken enough from me
Marcie: How much change do we accept in a relationship? That answer is different for everyone. I don’t find it’s healthy to allow myself to become drained from too much more give than take. I think these lyrics are about reaching our bottom line, where we decide we won’t give up any more of our energy to save a relationship.
7) Kirsty Hawkshaw Meets Tenishia – Reasons To Forgive (The Blizzard Remix)
Birdman: Again as humans, we have flaws. A sad one is finding a reason to forgive. If a person is out of your life due to a breach of trust or promise, we need to look past the nostalgia, and not find a reason to forgive. Trust is earned.
Marcie: I see what you’re saying here, Sameer. If someone has proven untrustworthy, then we shouldn’t be naive and allow them to regain our trust only to hurt us again. I agree that the lyrics address how difficult it is to trust, but I also think forgiveness is helping Kirsty find a way to trust again.
I focus on the positive
Remember why I live
Thank you for reminding me
Reasons to forgive
I think forgiveness is something that can be granted without giving others a free pass to hurt us. In my mind, forgiveness is meant to liberate ourselves from the suffering that comes with holding on to our pain. When we forgive someone, we are not condoning their actions. We are not seeking reconciliation. We are forgiving in order to gain an inner peace that comes from taking our life experience less personally, and we are moving forward with a positive outlook on the future.
Thanks to Birdman for taking time to discuss his feelings about lyrics with me. Thank YOU for joining in as readers! Let’s keep getting to know each other.
