It’s relaxing, it’s calming, and encourages mental concentration. Well, House music does have those effects on me, at least. Lyrics are often very faint, but if you listen carefully, it will reach deep into your heart and soul. Here are some of my favourites:

ATB - Ecstasy, No Silence

Have you ever noticed,
That I’m not acting as I used to do before?
Have you ever wondered,
Why I always keep on coming back for more?

What have you done to me,
I’ll never be the same I’ll tell you for sure

I’ll never be the same I’ll tell you for sure
I’ll never be the same I’ll tell you for sure

You really are my ecstasy,
My real life fantasy, oh yeah

You really are my ecstasy,
My real life fantasy, oh yeah

Not that I’m complaining,
A more beautiful vision - I have never seen
If you don’t mind me saying,
A life of ambition to fulfill my dream

What have you done to me,
I’ll never be the same I’ll tell you for sure

I’ll never be the same I’ll tell you for sure
I’ll never be the same I’ll tell you for sure

You really are my ecstasy,
My real life fantasy, oh yeah

You really are my ecstasy,
My real life fantasy, oh yeah

You really are my ecstasy,
(There can be no other
While we still have each other)
My real life fantasy, oh yeah

You really are my ecstasy,
(There can be no other
While we still have each other)
My real life fantasy, oh yeah

You really are my ecstasy,
(There can be no other
While we still have each other)
My real life fantasy, oh yeah

DJ Tiesto feat. Andain - Beautiful Things, Nyana [disc 2]

Got up early, found something’s missing
my only name.
No one else sees but I got stuck,
and soon forever came.
Stopped pushing on for just a second,
then nothing’s changed.
Who am I this time, where’s my name
I guess it crept away.

No one’s calling for me at the door.
And unpredictable won’t bother anymore.
And silently gets harder to ignore.
Look straight ahead, there’s nothing left to see.
What’s done is done, this life has got it’s hold on me.
Just let it go, what now can never be.

I forgot that I might see,
So many beautiful things.
I forgot that I might need,
to find out what life could bring.

Take this happy ending away, it’s all the same.
God won’t waste this simplicity on possibility.
Get me up, wake me up, dreams are filling
this trace of blame.
Frozen still I thought I could stop,
now who’s gonna wait.

No one’s calling for me at the door.
and unpredictable won’t bother anymore.
and silently gets harder to ignore.
look straight ahead, there’s nothing left to see.
what’s done is done, this life has got it’s hold on me.
just let it go, what now can never be.

So many beautiful things.
So many beautiful things.

Now what do I do
can I change my mind
did I think things through

Yeah, I’m too blurred after studying for my Optics paper just now. Too lazy to think of anything ‘real’ to write. Still, the point is, house music is good and everyone who has yet to enjoy it should give it a spin just for a sip.
