I FEEL YOU -SCHILLER FEAT. LEBEN


Schiller (aka Christopher Von Deylen) was born in Germany in 1970. Since pursuing a musical education that's an academic marvel in itself, he's been a prolific musical creator of trance, chill out and ambient music. Before becoming Schiller, Von Deylen drove his project, TANK, into the charts with the single "Can U Feel the Bass," arranged electronic sequences for Die Prinzen and collaborated on the hit album "Golden Boy" by Sin with Sebastian. By 1998, Schiller was formed, and within a couple of years Chiler had release the acclaimed full albums "Zeitgeist" and "Weltreise" (World Trip). The latter work coming after a after a break from music, whilst he took a two-month journey with his father, driving from London to Peking. Finally, after a move to Berlin, Schiller releases the full length "Leben," collaborating with vocalists such as Peter Heppner, Kim Sanders and Sarah Brightman.
Which brings us to the current single, "I Feel You," featuring Peter Heppner on vocals. The vocals are spoken word poetry, something you'll hear a lot in Schiller's music. It took me three listens to this entire batch of mixes before I realized how great it is. Not too many German artists even try to break ground in the USA, but global dance culture lends an openness that continually bridges many gaps. So I've been lucky enough to learn a little about Schiller and am very impressed. Now on to the single.

I feel you,
in every stone,
in every leaf of every tree,
that you ever might have grown.

I feel you,
in every thing,
in every river that might flow,
in every seed you might have sown.

I feel you. (5x)

I feel you,
in every vein,
in every beatin' of my heart,
each breath I take.

I feel you, anyway,
in every tear that I might shed,
in every word I've never said.

I feel you (4x)

I feel you,
in every vein,
in every beatin' of my heart,
in every breath I'll ever take.

I feel you, anyway,
in every tear that I might shed,
in every word I've never said.

I feel you. (5x)

I feel you.
