Listen To Your Heart
Album: Listen To Your Heart
Year: 2005
Edmee tells her friend what she wants to hear in the apathetic "Listen To Your Heart."
Like in the original, a taut piano begins the single. However, a synthesizer, churning out a trancey atmosphere is added. It continues to pound unrelentlessly as a bored Edmee says that she's noticed her friend has been depressed lately. Her friend's relationship is ending and she needs someone to talk to.
In the chorus, the synthesizer takes a breather and is replaced by the piano. The tempo slows down to a ballad. Edmee says her friend knows the answer within her heart. Edmee appears to be self-involved and uninterested in her friend's life.
The synthesizers scatter and fidget during a solo. Edmee, who sounds faraway, repeats "listen to your heart" twice over the piano.
In the second verse, she says in a slow, unfeeling monotone that couples go through this all the time. She tries to guess her friend's emotions, hoping her friend would respond with a "yes, you do understand." The word dreams is repeated the obligatory three times.
The chorus is sung again.
The piano has another solo as Edmee repeats again "listen to your heart, listen to your heart." A foreboding note ends the single abruptly.
DHT's cover of "Listen To Your Heart" is aimless. It can't decide if it wants to be faithful to the original or be an all-out trance-pop track. The bungled cover's synthesizers are distracting against a somber piano. Edmee's icy, cue-card vocals are transparent.It's as though she's bothered by her friend's problems.

"I know there's something in the wake of your smile/I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea/You've built a love but that love falls apart/Your little piece of heaven turns to dark."

"Listen to your heart/When he's calling for you/Listen to your heart/There's nothing else you can do/I don't know where you're going/And I don't know why/But listen to your heart/Before you tell him goodbye."

"Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile....the feeling of belonging to your dreams (to your dreams, to your dreams)."
