My granddad worked his whole life for the Belgian company Belgacom (this song is the companies jingle), it was truly a part of him. A year ago he died and they played this song on his funeral, now when i listen to it i can't help but smile because of all the good memories i have of him. RIP granddad I'll miss you.

[@mindomanshortyseven6508]

Emotional day for you at your Grandads funeral, buried my mum on the 14th of February 2018, R.I.P mum miss you loads, R.I.P to your Grandad🌹💐

the blueprint for the greatset dance song ever composed..the mighty CAFE DEL MAR by ENERGY 52. sent from God himself..thats how good this is.

[@stijnyboy01]

I listen to allmost all kinds of music, but sometimes, when i'm all alone, i sit here, listen to these songs, then I can really think properly. About my future and my past. About what I want and what i will never have. About the good times in life, and the bad. And offcourse, I enjoy this amazing music

[@richardstephenson2534]

The Fact that the greatest dance tune of all time was based on this is a testament of how good this piece of music is

[@francescolandi7804]

Struggle for Pleasure è un tripudio di melodie differenti in armonia tra loro. Spesso, nei momenti di svago, sono solito metterla e rimetterla e rimetterla. Non so spiegare perché, so solo che è speciale, che trovo in essa tutto ciò di cui la musica si può servire per stregarmi. Non mi annoia, né mi stanca mai. L'ho cercata per anni, perché, anche se volessi, non saprei ripeterne il ritmo. Questo lo dico perché è ripetitiva unicamente in apparenza. Quando l'ho riscoperta, mi sono solo detto: "È Lei!". Forse sono la grande eleganza (o portamento), l'estrema velocità, il ritmo serrato e incalzante, il continuo crescendo, gli aspetti che mi hanno colpito e continuano a colpirmi tuttora

[@oppiaceo1]

Anche io erano più di 10 anni che non riuscivo a conoscere il titolo....non c'è molto da dire a mio avviso,su questo brano si toccano vette elevatissime, è un mix di potenza ed eleganza,un tripudio di suoni che la rendono unica

[@giovanniscuriatti7445]

Idem.....poi Shazam...... meraviglioso intreccio fra stati d'animo

[@joolsner]

Listeend to Wim Mertens play this last night in London and it moved me to tears it was so beautiful. The first concert to do that to me.

[@francisbegbie5102]

Questa canzone sembra fatta per ricordarci che quello che facciamo e abbiamo fatto nella vita fosse finalizzato a provare del piacere, in ogni forma, dalla più bassa alla più alta. Il tutto espresso con delle note. Una vera e propria struggle for pleasure.

[@Mithrilis]

incredible piece of music, shows the true nature of music at its best, a surreal sound made with the sax and piano

[@newkindage]

This is my favorite song ever. I have known it ever since I was like 4 and i love it so much. No one can ever change the perspective on how I feel about this piece. It will always be a part of me.

[@Chroia1]

Theatre of Rocks, Vironas, Athens about 1992 and Vim Mertens makes nostalgia spreading all over a packed from attendants place. it's summer after 10 pm and Athens listens carefully to the rhythms of life, the life of thought. Marvellous

[@mariasolemarini641]

[@azerty8713]

it has a nostalgic tone

[@Tibialstone7]

KZbin quality is nothing compared to a concert of this piece. Spotlights flood the stage,the audience is hushed to a climatic and emotional silence as the pianist uses each individual key like its a single instrument,simultaneously,the pianist throws all of their energy and concentration into the musical device that lies before them.Oblivious to anyone, anything anywhere around the pianist,its a moment between the artist and the piano,where they are both alone in this enchanting musical world.

[@mindomanshortyseven6508]

What a Quality Classic Tune, Make's me happy and sad, love it, hope everyone is doing well.

Un clásico. Brutal!!!. Wim Mertens, compositor, cantante contratenor, guitarrista, pianista y musicólogo belga, se pudo oir y bailar, convenientemente mezclado, en Spook Factory (Valencia) hace más de tres décadas en lo que algunos cretinos bautizaron como la ruta del bakalao. Ahora se oye en teatros y auditorios.

Extraordinary masterpiece where the soul dances in unison and everything disappears! Beautiful images too and Wim Mertens= INFINITE!!!!!!!!!!i

[@skipacuff5104]

Micol Benini In 1983 two German visionary electronic music composers d/b/a Energy 52 (among other projects) transformed this music into a massive rave anthem that is perhaps even more mysterious, majestic, and achingly beautiful than its more modestly presented inspiration. There followed scores upon scores of remixes continuing into this year. Here is a popular version. Please don’t be daunted by the hard trance dance beat and let it unfold and draw you in.

I can find at least two Dance/Trance songs wich are using the melody. The beginning from "Crying at the Discotheque" by "Alcazar" seems to be taken from the beginning of this song and the melody can be found in Energie 52's "Cafe del Mar". I love it how beautiful music tends to transcend it's 'niche' and just gets adapted in (very) different genres ^^ Beautiful music
