London Elektricity - Just One Second

[@nadiyasydow3142]

It's 2024 and I'm still listening to this banger 😍👏

[@DG-kr8pt]

Bra, this song is actually nuts.WTAF

[@SmallBlogV8]

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.

[@dustynmofos]

Same. Tony is the master of that raw instrumentation. Everything is paced perfectly. Check out the live performance of "I Remember the Future" if you want to see the shit in action!

[@nicofromtheweb4891]

"like two lovers in a speeding convertible escaping their problems in the sunshine for only the length of the song." urgh cringe

thanks hyde for recommending this heavenly tune.

It's a great song to listen to while I read MK

[@shiiswii4136]

big fan of mde, never heard them recommend any drum and bass howd i miss that lol, im here organically and i see this thread. peep the song: beatmool - eraser

[@danyboy931]

So beautiful. So happy to be back to my liquid and DnB roots. Feels like part of my heart being restored.....aah, so good :)

[@michellesaad7861]

After I got diagnosed with ptsd I used to power walk every morning to this tune . I lost weight and it cleared my mind. I’m not a morning person either but this is so refreshing

[@absly5]

ptsd from a made up illness or something worthwhile like shell shock or coming home from war?

This song is beyond beautiful, the lyrics and music match perfectly and you feel the vibe filling your soul. Music is amazing

[@brucepuckett3503]

I heard this song for the first time in a bar in the czech republic....it's like a warm fire that i like to visit every once in a while

[@indayadnb3363]

Alot of people prefer the Apex version but this is still my fave and probably my all time fave dnb tune

[@AppleSlipper]

I liked Riot Jazz Brass Band's cover of this song.

[@JiN133713]

Late, but I too prefer this it's more peaceful and sounds more natural to me it flows

[@JTNugget]

Apex remix is way better.

[@cjprior88]

Mine 2

[@STUNRICK]

this one is much much more chill and positive-feeling

[@marv92]

Still loving this all the years later. I was 16 when this song came out in 2008. Still my alarm clock song waking me up every day 🎧🥰

[@shaunglover7251]

Perfection from start to finish. The Apex version is the flip-side of this track; they tell a complete story. Music explains what you can't say sometimes. Thank God for that.

[@antoniom.alabarce7337]

Bro you should give thanks to elsa and toni tho

[@andreadolezelova6034]

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

[@DG-kr8pt]

think its "Would you love it?"

[@antwill7916]

🙏🏽

[@jdmman1000]

Till this day, this song is amazing! It always seems to make me smile, its so beautiful and creatively constructed. It takes you on an epic yet elegant adventure thats different from beginning to end. Absolutely inspiring. Easily one my favorites from the good man London Elektricity. And definitely om the super short list of best DnB tracks in my book.

[@antwill7916]

This song is tears. Everytime

The tune that started my dnb journey from 12yo, absolut timeless

"If this second was my life, I would happily die." That just hits different. Love this track!

[@snicka8173]

Completely forgot about this song. Beautiful song

[@64_bit80]

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]

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.

[@lunar3313]

most underrated song of all times

[@samikalastaja]

3:27 - this is just too beautiful! Notice how there is male back up vocals too. And then 3:38 - the bass goes ultra low 4:00 - that piano So much happens in so short time. I will never get tired of this track.

[@legacyofvrak]

You know, the fact that this song is mildly uplifting, and Pendulum's version (or maybe sampling this song) of this track is deppresing, makes the contrast in the message that both songs transmit quite a beautiful polar match

Pendulum sampled this?! What's the name?

I don't know how to call it, but it wasn't exactly a sample, since they didn't took any audio from this master. They pretty much re-did part of it but of course in their own style. It's the first time I listen to this and I gotta say it is really great.
