You can call it dance,
Call it house, jungle, techno, hardcore, garage or call it trance
Mate, whatever your experience and knowledge
Just listen a minute I wanna seriously pay homage
Disco? Slightly resemblant?
House music is a direct descendant
So bravo to Chicago and NY
Frankie and Larry gave the music wings and let fly
Ron Hardy, instrumental
The music box oh so influential
Adonis and Fingers Inc making hits
But Move ya Body summed up 86
That's when it all kicked off in the UK
Delirium, party through the night and let the tunes play
And then an era that the masses remember
Voodoo Ray, Acid House at the Hacienda
This music is Love
Feel it in your heart and souls, yeah
This music is Love
The feeling that its ours we just cant control
Around the same time, Jack Your Body charted
A love affair with an island started
We saw ecstasy explode
And the harmonious side of our culture was exposed
Prior to being blown away and shown the raves
ESP had landed, Fabio & Groove had opened Rage
And then the scene expanded
And old bill were trying to shut down the parties and being heavy handed
Energy, Biology and Genesis
Raindance, Sunrise, Helter Skelter and Nemesis
The scene moved back to inner city from the sticks
A legend was born when the doors opened at the eclipse
Sasha, Carl Cox, Ratty and Jack Frost
Feel a Top Buzz when the track drops
Sy and Slipmatt, SS and Mickey Finn
Take a look back thinking where did it all begin?
This music is Love
Feel it in your heart and souls, yeah
This music is Love
The feeling that its ours we just cant control
Inevitable that we'd get to the stage
When Jungle and Hardcore would go their separate ways
Emcees were becoming more prominent
The darker side of the music more dominant
SL2 and Prodigy had won over the charts
But there was a long list of others that won over the hearts
And minds of a whole generation
Ravers like a family music a celebration
House was world wide, constantly breaking ground
Gatecrasher, God's Kitchen, Cream, Ministry of Sound
Every week see me dancing to a different beat
Garage came along and instantly swept me off my feet
Drum n Bass has its place some are loving grime
And right about now Dubstep is on the climb
I could have got into the scene mate at any stage
But the music still would have touched me deeply in many ways
This music is Love
Feel it in your heart and souls, yeah
This music is Love
The feeling that its ours we just cant control
