Comments for Sarah Brightman, How Can Heaven Love Me

I ordered this single as well as the 2-track CD single version of “Time To Say Goodbye” and “A Question of Honour” (the dance remixes version) from http://www.cdeurope.com, but much to my dismay, they were all out of print. I wasn’t happy, but that saves money on my mother’s Discover card. For now, I’ve acquired all the HCHLM remixes on Napster. I downloaded the Radio Version and the Sir Sholt remix of this hit song on Napster, as well as the Extended Mix and the ORIGINAL version, and here is what I have to say: The Radio Version has a nice opening and is akin to the Extended Mix, which comes later in the single. The Video Version, which is track 5 on the current print of the “Fly” album that has “Time To Say Goodbye” as track 1, is absolutely ridiculous. It has no funk in it, and it gives me the idea that the 1995 release of the “Fly” album should have NEVER gone so out of print. Boring. The Album Version, track 4 on the ORIGINAL print of “Fly” (released 4/5/1996) as well as on the La Luna Tour 2-CD set of the same title, is absolutely the best version there is. I heard it for the first time when I got the Fly 2-CD set and was absolutely amazed: it posessed an incredible opening and a sexy dance beat that the Video Version lacked. PeCh and Sir Sholt also made a pretty cool collaboration on their remix of the song. It starts out with Frank Peterson (Sarah’s producer and boyfriend) saying all the German stuff amidst a string arrangement that sounds like something out of a movie score for a horror film, then shifts gears into something like a techno-Latin arrangement Sarah fans would NEVER expect to find, complete with actual singing of Chris Thompson’s line by Sarah (she sounds so cute!). Of course you do hear CT’s vocals during that cut. The Extended Mix is just more of the Radio Version. But Pech’s Favourite Mix is as hot as hell, turning up the disco heat (it’s actually disco-like!). I heard the Radio Edit version of that mix on the Fly 2-CD and was amazed. Reminds me of all those disco tunes from the 70’s. Anyone who sees this and wants the single will have to keep checking on eBay or watch formy username, Honour2K, on Napster. Did my review help you?

This CD is good but less house than I once expected. The original version is the best.
