"Miracle (radio mix)" by Cascada from Miracle

"I need a miracle; please let me be your girl!" "Gimme a chance to see that you are made for me."

That pretty much sums up the story of the song. The girl's convinced her "love is real" and "feelings pure," but the guy dumped her. Now she's begging for hm to take her back to give her a chance.

Her voice is decent. It's mostly consistent, but I get the impression that's more on accident than on purpose. (I honestly wish I knew what made me think that.) It just sounds very… relaxed. Considering the rapid beat of the music, that's a nice thing, but it doesn't make me think much of her voice.

Cascada made quite a few—eight—versions of this song. Tracking down which version is the one I've heard was a bit tricky, to say the least. From listening to portions of the other versions, I think this one is the best. It's enough of the same throughout to be good for dance with enough variation in it to please the ears if you don't mind techno music.

If you're looking for something to help you write that paper more quickly that doesn't necessarily sound irritating, this song can help. But if you're looking for some music just to listen to… you might want to look for something else.

"Everytime We Touch" by Cascada from Everytime We Toucch

Please "forgive me my weakness" for actually enjoying some techno. I don't mean the the completely repetitive dance music, but there is some techno that can be pretty if you can get accustomed to the extreme tempo.

"Everytime We Touch" doesn't remain completely static, making it above average for its genre. The rapid-beat movements shifts in the song while keeping the similar tone throughout that makes it danceable. The speedy tempo sets your pulse racing, an effect that's useful when you're trying to speed something up, like the writing of a blog post.

Can you spell "cliché" for the lyrics? A girl's very happy with her boyfriend and wants to stay with him. The song does nothing but speak of the emotions involved there, though Cascada does have a distinctly attractive voice as she sings "Everytime we touch, I get this feeling…" and so on and so forth.

The song is useful like all techno when you're trying to get something done quickly, but you'll probably only listen to it for pleasure every so often if you enjoy the style and aren't too terribly annoyed by the lyrics.
