The White Light lyrics:

White Light
( I am back.....I am back.....prouder than ever baby......louder than ever maybe..)

One more pill, just one more beer
 One less star in the atmosphere for us
 Well maybe she just wanted to be free

Heartless pictures on TV
 'Change that channel, that could have been me' I said
 But maybe she just wanted to be free

So I just kept breathing my friends...
 Waiting for The Man to choose
 Saying this ain't the day that it ends
 Because there's no white light and I'm not through

I'm Alive!....I'm Alive!.....I'm Alive!
 And I've got so much more that I want to do with the music!
 Was it music that saved me?
 Or the way that you prayed for me?
 Guess either way I thank you, I'm alive

Hotel, Motel, makes it clear
 One more voice we will never hear again
 But maybe he just wanted to be free?

And I don't know what the hell, what the Gods, what the fuck I'm saying half the time
 But something divine, oh divine, brought me back to you
 (And I know it.....)

So I just kept breathing my friends
 Waiting for some God to choose
 Saying this aint the day that it ends
 Because there's no white light and I'm not through

I'm Alive!....I'm Alive!......I'm Alive!
 And I've got so much more that I want to do
 Was it music?
 Was it science that saved me?
 Or the way that you prayed for me?
 Yes either way I thank you, I'm alive

And tomorrow is mine, I said tomorrow is mine!
 I've just got to keep on breathing
 I said no........don't let go......keep on breathing.

Written, Produced and arranged by George Michael

Dimitri Kechagias review: 30 years from the moment that the Wham phenomenon exploded to the charts and then  thousands of fans worldwide started to follow and support the talented Greek Cypriot artist George Michael who continued for a glorious solo career packed with awesome songs and unforgettable classics that will be played, remixed or covered from others continuously.  After his adventure with serious health problems last year Mr King of Pop George Michael is back with his most personal track of his career that each and every single word means something special for him. White Light is the BIG THANK you to every single fan that helped this talented musician to stay at the top of the ladder by buying his albums,singles and attending his sold out concerts. In September George Michael embarks in a huge worldwide tour under the name: Symphonica George Michael tour with concerts in Austria, France, Belgium, Holland and Great Britain on the program, followed by Australia shows from November 2012. His new album is waited by millions of fans worldwide and will go straight at the top of the album charts for sure. For all the jocks out there White Light is supported by extensive package of mixes. The Original mix is a warm pop track with progressive edges and sweet melodic lines to listen whenever you feel like getting courage to keep on believing and continuing  leaving your life against all odds. Stereogamus remix is an electro pop version with chunky bubbly beats, bouncy basslines and feel good summery melodic lines to add that balearic touch to it. Kinky Roland well known for his numerous hits along with Mark Loverush as Loverush UK translates the great lyrics into music with a very strong deep progressive house version with dark basslines, tribal drum beats and quite minimal atmosphere allowing George Michael vocal to shine and stand out. Best moment is on the breakdown when the sun shinning feel good synths are unleashed to bring shivers all over your body and add that optimistic meaning of the track.  Voodo Sonics remix is the big bouncy and banging version perfect for the big rooms with epic prog house influences, nu rave elements like electro house and dubstep touches as well. If you search for a classic tribal USA house style version Steven Redant & Phil Romano remix is your choice to add that latin party rhythm and atmosphere with driving basslines and tribal drum beats to raise your spirit a little bit higher. Last but not least Jackman & Thomas Remix is a cool electro pop version perfect for late night club sessions with hi nrg synths and feel good pianos.  Island/Universal is his new home and seems that White Light is a great way to start this collaboration with a big bang. Thank You George Michael for Your Music and the Inspiration you gave us all these years. He is back and We Love iT!
