[交流] 【Share】share an English song【 return to innocence】

  


"Return to Innocence" is a 1994 song created by the musical group Enigma. The single was the first from their chart-topping second album, The Cross of Changes.

It became one of the project's most popular international singles, reaching number one in over 10 countries (including Greece, Norway, Sweden and Ireland), number two on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart, number four on the US Hot 100, number three on the UK Singles Chart, the Top 5 in Austria, Germany, New Zealand, Netherlands, Switzerland and South Africa. It reached the Top 10 in Italy and France.

In the song, the main vocals are provided by Angel X (Andreas Harde), while the aboriginal Taiwanese chant was sampled from the "Jubilant Drinking Song" without the singers' permission. Kuo Ying-nan (born Difang Duana) (郭英男) and Kuo Hsiu-chu (郭秀珠), both Amis, were in a cultural exchange program in Paris, France, Europe in 1988, when their performance of the song was recorded by the Maison des Cultures du Monde and made into a CD. The producer of Enigma, Michael Cretu, later obtained the CD and proceeded to sample it. It is a popular misconception that the vocals are done by native Americans. In addition, the drum beat of the song was sampled from the Led Zeppelin song "When the Levee Breaks."

The song was used to promote several types of media in the mid-1990s, including film and TV commercials. In fall 1994, the song was featured in an episode of the TV show My So-Called Life. In 1995, the song was used as the closing theme in Disney's live-action film Man of the House, as well as in the opening and closing of an Outer Limits episode. In 1996, the song was further popularized when it was used in a television advertisement to promote the 1996 Summer Olympics.

In March 1998, Kuo Ying-nan and Kuo Hsiu-chu sued Cretu, Virgin Records, and a number of recording companies for unauthorised usage of their song without credit. The case was settled out of court for an undisclosed amount of money and all further releases of the song were credited (including royalties) to the Kuos. Cretu has stated that he had been led to believe that the recording was in the public domain, and that he did not intentionally violate the Kuos' copyright.

The music video for the song was filmed in Ibiza, Spain, where Cretu also lives. Julien Temple directed. The video shows a man's life going in reverse, starting with him dying (the scene was probably influenced by the 1930 Alexander Dovzhenko film Earth) and ending with his birth, where he returns back to innocence (see here).






Return to Innocence--enigma




return to innocence
enigma


love - devotion
feeling - emotion
don't be afraid to be weak
don't be too proud to be strong
just look into your heart my friend
that will be the return to yourself
the return to innocence

the return to innocence
if you want, then start to laugh
if you must, then start to cry
be yourself don't hide
just believe in destiny
don't care what people say
just follow your own way
don't give up and use the chance
to return to innocence

that's not the beginning of the end
that's the return to yourself
the return to innocence

that's the return to innocence

觉得一旦认定了的东西如果被轻易改变就没有了当初的意义即使丢弃了也不一定会是消失的样子所以选择执念
