"i'm the queen of love, your messenger, and i won't go away"

i'm in a russian internet cafe on holloway road and they are playing loads of euro-pop-trance, and they are playing something with these lyrics at the moment. anyone know what it is? (is it a uk chart hit? i can't hear the charts or radio or tv at the moment)

anyway, its fantastic, all that stuff about 'trite=pathos", there is an undeniable sadness at the core of records such as this, something to do with the euro-sensibility? anyway, a pickettywitch for 2002?

Reading the subject line and your name, I was instantly put in mind of The Office...

i have never seen the office, but i have a feeling the above is not good? (btw, i've got email notification on this thread for some reason, can that be turned off mr moderator???)

is it possible that it is by Basic Element? google turns up very little. i feel a little bit embarrassed now, looking back at this thread to see that i performed the rockist manouevre of comparing to pickettywitch in order to try and gain credibility and validation for this track (and, by association, myself). i'd like to think i wouldn't fall prey to such a trap now, linking the present to a tried and tested 'past' is a counter-productive measure, one that, ultimately destroys ephemerability, pop and love for the game

could it be Basic Element then? i can't do any o that soulseek shit until i go back north

actually that seems to be from 1995, so i don't think it is this after all...

but then again it is Finnish, which, although not eastern european, might be mistaken for in such a context...
