Give endurance to the weak
And when the heart of a man is broken
Give the power to believe"

Quote: Power to Believe/Dream Academy

It was two years ago when I was watching Planes, Trains and Automobiles for the millionth time that I really listened to the music that plays at the end. For such a hilarious movie it sure packs one hell of an emotional wallop. But what makes that scene on the bus with Steve Martin so powerful is this song, Power to Believe. I was originally just going to put the instrumental version of the song on some future mix, but when I heard the lyrics for the first time I knew that not only did I need the full version with singing and everything, but that I wanted it to be the Title of the next mix. It's such a sad and beautiful song with lyrics that almost seem like a story or a prayer. It's sad AND hopeful at the same time, which can be hard to pull off. Anyways, this is the halfway point of the mix, the second half has some incredible trance tracks and a few surprises, I hope you'll stay tuned and thanks for listening!
