Saturday Flashback: Maggie Reilly – Everytime We Touch

“THIS IS WEIRD.”

Tim: THIS IS WEIRD.

Tom: Wow. You’re not kidding, either. That’s weird.

Tim: So, I think we can file Cascada’s track away with Torn as a song no-one realised was a cover* – I had no idea about this 1992 track until last week when I was writing about Ariana’s track, and I had to check Wikipedia to see if Everytime was one or two words.

* Verses are different, yes, but it’s apparently close enough for the writing credits to be the same.

Tom: Fair point. And it’s two words, but no-one seems to mind.

Tim: Maggie’s a Scottish singer, though this didn’t bother the charts over here at all; did get to number 1 in Norway, though, and charted in most of Europe.

Tom: Those differing verses really do make a difference. By the way, “I feel the static” is a terrible line. Have you ever got a static shock from kissing someone? It’s not pleasant.

Tim: Eurgh – no, I can’t imagine it would be, now I think about it. In all, though, I can’t pretend I enjoy this version remotely as much – aside from the genre, the video doesn’t feature librarians getting their rave on – but it was an interesting find nonetheless and I thought I’d share it with you. I’m JUST THAT NICE.
