Paul van Dyk - 'Heart Stops Beating' feat. Sarah Howells

What can you say about Sarah?! She is one of the most talented vocalists in the out there and she's built a really impressive body of work with the EDM tracks she's sung on. At the same time though, she's got her whole own other thing going on with her Paper Aeroplanes band and makes fantastic acoustic guitar backed music. I met her for the first time at a big festival in Hamburg. She was performing before me, which was just the best way for me to see her doing what she does. I grabbed her as she came off and said, 'Hey, listen, I'm playing all the tracks you're singing on anyway, why don't we collaborate in some way?'

She sent me 'Heart Stops Beating', which was just backed by a solo guitar and I really lost it. Both lyrically and vocally it was all there, so I took her dry vocals into the studio and began building a lot of different elements under them.

I don't think its possible to say this is 'X' type of track or 'Y' type of track. It has trancey elements, its has electro aspects, there are even rock parts in there, with the great throbbing, bassy guitar. With every year that goes by it becomes harder to categorize a greater percentage of music electronic dance music that's released and that I find a generally a positive trend. Maybe one day terms like 'electro', 'house', 'trance' and 'techno' will cease to be used and music will either be 'good', 'bad' or 'ok'! Who knows!

Paul van Dyk, HEART STOPS BEATING' ft. Sarah Howells
From the album EVOLUTION

the truth is tuned to a frequency
you can't always hear that easily
you should know
you're a pro

with gold leaf charm and the party tricks
expensive smile i am hit for six
i should know
it's always a show

but i can't catch you out
you feed me endless lines to shout about

over and over till my heart stops beating
louder and louder till my lungs start bleeding

one last chance to be intimate
believe me dear i'll get over it
you should know what you're letting go

some things don't come easily
you're not my priority
you should go
i think you should go


but i can't shake this doubt
when i let you in you catch me out

and I'll be waiting
and I'll be waiting

over again
over again

don't go

over again
over again
over again
over again
