Open Your Eyes

I haven't heard this original, but mostly remixes of it. First of all, I need to hear the original, second, I have heard two remixes of this song, where he had a second artist "Steve Angello" do it along with him.

The remixes were all high beats per minute, and extremely energetic. I can't listen to this song, or I should say, the remixes of it, without either getting up and moving to it, or in the case of headphones at work, chair dancing to it. The lyrics are pretty simple, but packed with emotion and feeling. Add the driving bass and you have yourself one heck of a trance tune. If the remixes are even "remotely" close to the original, the synthesizer work seems like its simple chords, or even just single notes, but it gets the song going, and the lyrics drive the complete song home, for me.

I had to search for this song, because I didn't realize that the lyrics repeated so much. Also, I thought, in some places, the lyrics changed. From the "Let the light come in" to hearing in some places "Night", which can work, if you consider this song being performed at a music festival, open air performance, or done live in a dance / night club. All-in-all, one of my favorite motivational songs.
