It’s been running through my head for almost two days, and I’m going crazy trying to identify it. It’s got a house/trance beat playing, with a male voice (or voices) repeating the same refrain:

“We should be together,  
Although nothing lasts forever.  
I will be the phantom  
Casting shadows on your door.”

There are a few more lyrics, but that’s the gist of it. Towards the end, IIRC, there’s a sample of a Zeppelin song.

Does this ring a bell with anyone?

According to my google-fu, the song is Strange Attractor by I.C.E.

From the looks of it, you’ll have a hell of a time finding it. I couldn’t find a link to the song itself, just to the board talking about it. 😛

I.C.E. rings a bell. You might be right. I’ll keep digging. Thanks.
