Interview with Armin Van Buuren


The Story Behind: Yet Another Day
“Ray said ‘I’m gonna send you a song, it’s about a friend who killed himself.’”

I met Ray at a club in Scotland called Room At The Top. Ray said I’m gonna send you a song, it’s about a friend who killed himself. So I gave him my card and never expected anything…That same week I got a envelope, took a listen to the CD and it was very deep. It’s so weird though- I was kind of ashamed of that track, actually. Then I made a first version, which is actually the Sunday 5PM mix. I got the accapella on Saturday and finished the mix on Sunday 5pm. We went back to the studio to tweak the lyrics. That was a few weeks before Sensation, we decided quickly to do a live performance, which was amazing. My younger brother (Eller) did the guitar live.

Armin Van Buuren – Burned With Desire (Vocals By Justine Suissa) Lyrics 18 years ago

Interview with Armin Van Buuren

Behind the Scenes: Burned with Desire
“She had a one night stand with a guy…”

Justine and I started in the studio with Justine with the idea: I’d just met with a friend of mine who was back from holiday. She had a one night stand with a guy and they agreed on not falling in love with each other. And in fact she did. She fell in love with the guy and when she went back to see the guy, he already had another girl. And that was literally it: it was rainy day the day after…She was trying to find him and she saw him with another girl and she burned with desire but he left her in the rain. So if you think about the lyrics ‘For each forgotten kiss, for all the memories…You played your part so well, your modern Romeo, You came on Cupid’s wings and then you flew away’ it’s about the empty feeling we all have at some times.

“English is not my native language so we had some fun in the studio; sometimes I say something really stupid. I would find something and I’m like ‘Alright, I want to say this-and-this and she [Justine Suissa] would say ‘uh, right Armin, but you have to word it like this!’ The ‘But you left me in the rain’ was my part, I kept using it-- Justine would sing “Burned with Desire’ and then I would sing ‘but you left me in the rain’ and she’d be like ‘No, no!’ - but finally at the end we added it in”, Armin told us as if telling a good joke. “It was actually written in a few hours. I did the finally chill out mix, we wrote the tune on 138bpm, but I did it half tempo, so it was easy to the Rising Star Remix.”
