Robert Miles - Children - 1995 - European Promo Video

“Children“ is an instrumental composition by Italian composer Robert Miles. It was first released in Italy in January 1995 as part of the EP Soundtracks on Joe Vannelli’s DBX label, but it did not chart.[1] Vanelli brought the track to a nightclub in Miami where it was heard by Simon Berry of Platipus Records. Berry worked with Vannelli and James Barton (of Liverpool’s Cream nightclub) to release the song in November 1995 as the lead single from his album Dreamland.[1] The song was Miles’ most successful single, being certified Gold and Platinum in several countries and reaching number one in more than 12 countries. Miles gave two inspirations for the writing of “Children“. One was as a response to photographs of child Yugoslav war victims that his father had brought home from a humanitarian mission in the former Yugoslavia;[4] and the other, inspired by his career as a DJ, was to create a track to end DJ sets, intended to calm rave attendants prior to their driving home
