The track was a hit not just at influential clubs like Shoom in London, but was championed by mainstream stalwarts like Radio DJ Bruno Brookes and Kylie and Jason producer Pete Waterman. After the single reached No. 17 in the UK Singles Chart in November 1988, leading to Dougans' appearance on Top of the Pops on 1 December 1988. Subsequent re-issues also charted in 1992 and 2001.
[Music & Lyrics by Suidakra]
I felt asleep, with the raising moon
Found myself born anew
All my grief and all my pain
Turns into glee (in another dream)
Low whispering voices say
Everything is a dream
So sheltering dreams keep me alive
I try to leave, I try to hide
Can't they hear my silent cry
I cannot breathe in their light
But a low voice whispers to me
