Paul van Dyk - 'If You Want My Love' feat. Caligola
Caligola are these two guys, Gustaf and Bjorn, who front Swedish alternative rock band Mando Diao. We've been talking to each other for quite some time about the 3 of us doing something together. There always tends to be a lot of talk at the front end of these collaborations. Everybody has these very busy, rushing-around schedules and lives - getting the time and place nailed often takes a real lot of time. Mando did a show in Berlin and I went and met them there to talk about it. They were telling me about this whole new persona they'd created, under the name Caligola, which was more like an artist collective than the band. They were in the final stages of writing their album and they suggested that they take something from it and turn it my way. I was very touched by this. It was a generous thing for them to offer at that stage in their own process. So I took the track and came at it from - what to them must have been - quite an avant-garde angle, while still, I think, keeping the strong rock presence of the vocal in. It's very much a sidestep for the album -- one of the least expected tracks on there and quite an experimental one, maybe.
Bands as a whole have a big influence on me; I grew up listening to a lot of them and this track is, I guess, my nod to that on 'Evolution'.
Paul van Dyk IF YOU WANT MY LOVE' ft. Caligola
From the album EVOLUTION
Black diamond ring, she's waiting for
Black diamonds from far away
Cold rain is just, falling down my spine
I don't want it to hurt no more
Cold rain is just, falling down my spine
I don't want it to hurt no more
Have patience my Violetta, cause I don't mind us waiting here so
Put on your dancing shoes, put on your gratitude
If you want my love, if you want my love
If you want my love, if you want my love
Put on your dancing shoes, put on your gratitude
If you want my love, if you want my love
Black heaven, embrace us, white castles with open doors
Put on your attitude, put on your attitude
Put on your attitude, take off your dancing shoes
If you want my love, if you want my love
If you want my love, if you want my love
Put on your dancing shoes, put on your gratitude
If you want my love, if you want my love
