    Before the Apex remix took it to anthemic dancefloor status the original was equally good in it's own right. Taken from the London Elektricity album Syncopated City in 2008 this is the original "Just One Second".

    I can't believe it took me a decade to hear the original version of this, having imprinted the Apex remix onto my brain over that time. Discovering it now, the pared-back, almost non-EDM sound with seemingly just real instruments doing all the heavy lifting without loads of effects on each of them, it's a breath of fresh air that feels innocent in a way which totally suits the lyrics. The remix is euphoric, but this feels pure and blissfully uncomplicated, like two lovers in a speeding convertible escaping their problems in the sunshine for only the length of the song. I wish my life felt like this song.

    this song makes me really bummed. it's uplifting but it's so fleeting, like you have to hold that happiness tightly or else it'll fade away within seconds. I guess that's the point of the song; incredible.

    • @cantcurecancer
      @cantcurecancer 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I agree it's fleeting, but I think it's more about moving on and dealing with that. If you stay where you're at, it's going to get dreary and depressing and not work. "Chimney tops start to glow [morning], and that's when I will disappear [he's throwing your ass out]." New start from a shit situation.

    The city's beautiful
    In the early morning air
    Love the smell of sunrise
    And everything becomes so clear
    I think you are beautiful
    And you know it by one look
    Did you long for summertime
    When you were growing up
    And when it finally came
    It wasn't 'round for long
    You ecstatically stumbled around
    One warm second it's suddenly gone
    One warm second it's suddenly gone
    I wish that time would stand still
    If this was a part of a film
    We would watch the clip all day
    Like a portrait of you and I
    Like a portrait of you and I
    The city's beautiful
    Feel it in the morning air
    Love the smell of sunrise
    Everything becomes so clear
    I think you are beautiful
    And you know it by one look
    Did you long for summertime
    When you were growing up
    Well your life's just a breeze in eternity
    Why not take this one chance and come fly with me
    Just this once
    Just this second that soon will be gone
    If this second was your life
    What would you do?
    If this second was your life
    I would love you
    If this second was your life
    Would you love me?
    If this second was my life
    I would love it
    If this second was my life
    I would love you
    If this second was my life
    I would happily die
    The city's beautiful
    In the early morning air
    Love the smell of sunrise
    And everything becomes so clear
    I don't have to look to see
    Today it's all so clear
    Chimney tops start to glow
    And that's when I will disappear
