There was a time
Everybody was around and I was dancing with you
We all went down to the party Friday night
And had a drink there or two
Oh what a heat
I feel love and heatbeat
It's electricity
Majestic sound, 'round and 'round and 'round
Got you next to me
Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a symphony
Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a melody, come see
Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a symphony
Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a melody, come see
Time after time, everybody came around
And I was dancing with you
Don't know your name
Making me ashamed
To feel the way that I do
The lights went out
Couldn't leave without you, this is the place to be
I won't forget
The greatest times I've had
When I was dancing with you
Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a woman in love
Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a woman in love so high
Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a symphony
Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a melody, come see
Feel my heartbeat
Feel my heartbeat
Feel my heartbeat
There was a time when everybody was around
And I was dancing with you
Don't know your name
Making me ashamed
To feel the way that I do
The lights went out
Couldn't leave without you, this is the place to be
I won't forget
The greatest times I've had
When I was dancing with you
Everybody was around and I was dancing with you
We all went down to the party Friday night
And had a drink there or two
Oh what a heat
I feel love and heatbeat
It's electricity
Majestic sound, 'round and 'round and 'round
Got you next to me
Like a symphony
Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a melody, come see
Like a symphony
Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a melody, come see
And I was dancing with you
Don't know your name
Making me ashamed
To feel the way that I do
The lights went out
Couldn't leave without you, this is the place to be
I won't forget
The greatest times I've had
When I was dancing with you
Like a woman in love
Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a woman in love so high
Like a symphony
Feel my heartbeat drumming to the beat
Like a melody, come see
Feel my heartbeat
Feel my heartbeat
And I was dancing with you
Don't know your name
Making me ashamed
To feel the way that I do
The lights went out
Couldn't leave without you, this is the place to be
I won't forget
The greatest times I've had
When I was dancing with you

This simplicity of this song is fascinating. At first ti's just a pop song with trite 'heart' metaphors. Once you really listen to it and get inside the song you realize it's about a lot more. It describes that dream of any partygoer, or perhaps anyone in life, to find that perfect stranger, and have one perfect night. She feels the shame, the reluctance, but just fully embraces the spontaneity of life. That's all that anyone can ask for, to forget their life for one perfect night.
you call this "dance music"? i don't think so. just a great song.
I heard this in Girl Talks 'Night Ripper' and totally knew it was this song (even though I have never heard it until now). And as much as I love the original I can't get the GT version out of my head.
i think it's "truly", not "drumming"
It's drumming, just in the Norwegian accent it's "droo-ming". I thought at first it sounded like truly. And I absolutely love this song, and I'm not a big fan of dance music.
i thought it was "drowning."
I'm not clear on the details but Annie's boyfriend who helped her get into the music industry died because of some kind of heart failure before Annie became "known" I guess.
isn't it oh what a heat i feel love and heartbeat.
that's what it sounds like.
This song reminds me of that night I went to a party with a guy I like... it was the best night ever
I was planning on saying the same thing as Indie YYY, and I think we both got it from Pitchfork, haha.
This is one of my favorite songs ever. It really is a flawless piece of music.
