Huge tune back in 1997, with big commercial crossover, it was & is all about the (Mood II Swing Extended Vocal Mix" as soon as the initial guitar / string intro comes in its instantly recognisable and along with Ultra Nate's anthamatic vocals making this a massive track with a laidback summer lovin vibe !

This was unescapable throughout the summer of 1997. A massive dancefloor smash in the UK and in Ibiza where the record really made itself heard. Also, notoriously used with the extremely popular Sky One programme "Ibiza Uncovered".
I first got switched onto this early '97, about april-ish when a neighbour used to have it constantly blaring from his Renault Clio. It took me ages to find out who this track was by as i was just starting to get into the house scene at the ripe old age of 16.
The track itself in it's Mood II Swing extended mix is the one that got hammered - everywhere, with reason too. Very very uplifting guitar licks, nice bassline and those vocals totally make the track. For me, this track is a bit of a timebomb. One of those records that you hear, you where you first heard it, who you were with and you situation at the time. It's one of those tracks where you listen to it and it really does take you back. Oh, and listen to the full intro, who nice is that!?!
