AnnaGrace (formerly known as Ian Van Dahl) is a Belgian trance group. They have seen success on dance and pop charts around the world. Among their hit songs are "Castles in the Sky", "Will I?" and "Reason".
No new material has been released since May 2013, and fans did not see the release of the 4th album as planned.
Ian Van Dahl began in 2000 as Christophe Chantzis, Erik Vanspauwen and Martine Theeuwen, who was referred to as Marsha. Marsha was later replaced by vocalist Annemie Coenen. Later, Peter Luts and David Vervoort (more famously known as Dave McCullen) joined the group. In 2008, the group changed its name to AnnaGrace, retaining only Annemie Coenen and Peter Luts as members.
In 2001 the debut single "Castles in the Sky" was released by Ian Van Dahl. The vocals were originally recorded by Marsha; however, the producers felt that Marsha wouldn't make a good frontwoman for the act and therefore cast Cindy Mertens for the role. This decision proved to be quite controversial at the time as Cindy mimed to Marsha's vocals both in the video and during live performances. Cindy was later replaced, however, by Annemie Coenen due to her poor performance at live shows. Annemie continued to mime to Marsha's vocals before a re-recorded version appeared on the debut album, Ace. There are two different videos for the track, both of which feature Cindy Mertens. A video with Annemie Coenen was never made. The first is the regular radio edit, which shows a selection of dancers in an underground sewer. The second video uses the Peter Luts radio edit and features clips of an instrument being played amongst clips of the original video. The song achieved great success throughout Europe, charting at #3 in the UK Singles Chart.
Where are you now
Lie awake and wonder where you are tonight
How will I know
Search for a trace, I look around but you're out of sight
Where did you go
Thought your love for me was strong
Was I the only one
I don't know where we went wrong
Why did you leave me
Why did you have to go
I had a dream last night
A dream about you and me
Love should last forever baby
Where are you now
Contemplate the promise you made you'd be my friend
Until the end
My heart aches, I'm in a daze, live in no-man's land
Where do I stand
Thought your love for me was strong
Was I the only one
I don't know where we went wrong
Why did you leave me
Why did you have to go
I had a dream last night
A dream about you and me
Love should last forever baby
