want this to last

The first time I heard Cascada's 'Everytime we touch' i thought 'this is one of the best pop songs i've ever heard. Then eventually i began to wonder and lose my faith as many people who i respect said it was pure shit. But now, as i listen to a 15 year old boys murky remix of it, i realise that as usual everyone else is wrong and it is amazing. It's often the case with dance music (or perhaps i'm talking about pop music right now) that the most synthetic, attaining-to-be-commercial sounds are the best, and it lands them in a similar vein with the mindless, pure-joy delights of ramones or early beatles records.

I just really love this song for firstly the reason that it's brilliant, and secondly cos its what indie kids dismiss as 'chav music' (cos it is) and i love how they'll never understand or experience the pure joy of these records, just as they'll never experience the pure joy of an editors album (cos there is none to be found).

Their cover of 'kids in america' is even better btw.
