It's that time of year again - Valentine's Day - the day for lovers. And here I am, single again - for the like 100th year in a row - or so it feels. However, as I stated last year music is my one true love, and as always I will share it with you! You can check out/ revisit last year's first official SummersRadio™ presents 'Love Stinks! - A Valentine's Day Spectacular' special here: http://summersradio.blogspot.com/search/label/Love%20Stinks%3A%20A%20Valentine%27s%20Day%20Spectacular
So single or not, this years 'Love Stinks 2! - A Valentine's Day Spectacular' shall be filled with fun, mystery and romance! So much so that we shall begin here on Valentine's Day Eve - with a BIG PACKAGE... of remixes! :)
Eurythmics classic 'Love Is A Stranger' makes some very accurate statements about love and the search for it - accompanied by a sublime hypnotic synthesized groove. But it wouldn't be SummersRadio™'s style to just post the original, so instead we shall feature a menage a trois of recent remixes (that includes two free downloads) and a very rare super extended remix of the original.
'Love Is A Stranger' was first released as a single in 1992 from their album 'Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)' - and it was re-released in the U.K. in 1991. Here are the lyrics to a few of my favorite verses in the song:
Love is a danger
Of a different kind
To take you away
And leave you far behind
And love love love
Is a dangerous drug
You have to receive it
And you still can't
Get enough of the stuff
It's savage and it's cruel
And it shines like destruction
Comes in like the flood
And it seems like religion
It's noble and it's brutal
It distorts and deranges
And it wrenches you up
And you're left like a zombie
...
It's guilt edged
Glamorous and sleek by design
You know it's jealous by nature
False and unkind
It's hard and restrained
And it's totally cool
It touches and it teases
As you stumble in the debris
This is a very cool remix from 2009 by Chicago's Victor Lua and Daniel Bahena aka NumO Dan aka RazorSharp called the 'Razorsharp Even Stranger Dub'... Enjoy!
