Not Over Yet
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Not Over Yet" was a 1995 single released by Grace which peaked in the UK Singles Chart at #6 and topped the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the United States, and was one of the earliest memorable songs in the techno genre.
In 1999, "Not Over Yet" was remixed by Planet Perfecto, an Oakenfold pseudonym, and featured re-recorded vocals. It again reached the Top 20, peaking at number #16.
The video for the 1995 version features singer Patti Low, two musicians, presumably Oakenfold and Osbourne, and a dancer interspersed with computing related images and random phrases as caption slides, generally strange, such as the opening "IS ANYONE THERE? 452-ÆǑ/44".
A remixed version with new vocals, (vocals by Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic), only featuring the words "Not over yet" from the original appeared on Oakenfold's 2006 album A Lively Mind as "Not Over". The vocals of this version could be seen as an answer song to the original track, as the vocals cover the same topic - the break of a relationship; and are sung by a man.
Klaxons did their own version of the song, slightly re-titled "It's Not Over Yet," and was included on their first album, Myths of the Near Future. The track was considered by their fans to be one of the highlights of the album and was released as a single in June 2007.
Lostprophets also partially covered the song in the last verse of their track Everybody's Screaming on their 2006 album, Liberation Transmission.
The song was also performed by British rock group Garlic, led by the track's co-writer Mike Wyzgowski, on their 2002 album The Murky World of Seats.
During BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge, with Jo Whiley, on the February 8th, 2008, the electric-now-acoustic band Goldfrapp performed a cover version of the song with a more acoustic sound then the clubby original.
