There was a five-year period in the 90s when this song seemed to be EVERYWHERE. Movie soundtracks, movie trailers, commercials for colleges, commercials for meditation CDs. I'm sorry, but that overexposure ruined it for me. If it ever was a good song, I don't remember when.

Thanks to RP for playing this.

I first heard this on FM in my car......believe it or not but that was definitely pre-Clear Channel-lization of the air waves.

If it wasn't for feeds like RP we'd all be riding in our cars or sitting in front of our PC's having our brains pickled.

So, all your critics please to shut up and just enjoy the RP variety.

The Native American signing that chorus was in MST3K...

Tastes best with Twist in my Sobriety.
Serve cold.

Most Enigma songs are perhaps better enjoyed when in context to the whole cd........

Great lyrics.

you people are so freakin' jaded, this song rocks, stop being so narrow minded!

I cannot help but agree with some of the negative comments about this song, especially the trite lyrics. I shouldn't like it. A guilty pleasure, perhaps. But I disagree with the "nothing new" and "unoriginal" criticisims. The sort of tribal sounding chorus sounded really fresh and new when I first heard this song, and for me makes it most likeable. And as a musical idea, I don't see it as having been repeated to death (by Enigma, or anyone else), which allows it to retain its uniqueness. Not monumental, but for me, a very likeable tune.

29.Sep, 17.16 hrs: inane ghostly yodeling emanating from desktop speakers, automute failure, invoking manual mute, ahhhhhhhhh. . .

29.Sep, 17.20 hrs: current yodelometer reading zero, mute off. . .

It's been a long time since I've heard this song...
Very nice to hear it again. Thanks RP!

How much Listerine do you have to drink to be able to sing like that?

Don't worry, I am just jealous.

superb song, love the video too

Seems to be "Man of the house".

Headphones on and studied for my MCSE (geek I know) many years ago listening to this song. I understand why some people do not like it but I just do.
Lyrics a bit naff though.

Wasn't this on some movie soundtrack playing during the closing credits?

A good song, but far from Enigma's best. There's better stuff off this album.

sig listens to this w/ his goat

bryans song

It was overplayed, but now that it's been awhile. It's a wonderfully refreshing song that I enjoy greatly. Just because a song has been heard many times doesn't make it a bad song.

I'm not an Enigma! I'm a band of color!

This is just a bit too cheesy.
Decent at times, but awful at others.

Oh God. Again with the lyrics that are painful to listen to and take seriously.

Overproduced, laughable, cliched, silly, overplayed, pretentious..........

I love it and the lyrics are awesome and I love the intro..reminds me of this primitive tribe in Kalimantan called Dayak...and I love this part when she said..."Just believe in destiny..Don't care what people say..Just follow your own way.." Really inspiring!
