I hear a voice from paradise,
Looks like a new day dawning.
So clear, I just open my eyes.
Cant you hear the voice calling?
I feel a rush in the air tonight,
I can feel the earth moving.
Love is a beacon, a guiding light.
Cant you feel the earth moving?
[ chorus ]
Feel the earth move,
Now Im wrapped in a sweet loves arms.
Reaching out for you.
Theres something magic in the air tonight,
I can feel the earth move.
And it moves me.
Cant you hear the voice calling?
Looks like a new day dawning.
Reach out - its a leap in the dark,
But theres no danger of falling.
Give out, give it straight from the heart.
You feel like thunder rolling.
I feel a rush in the air tonight,
I can feel the earth moving.
Love is a beacon, a guiding light.
Cant you feel the earth moving?
[ repeat chorus ]
And it moves me.
Cant you hear the voice calling?
It feels like thunder rolling.

Интересные факты об альбоме Earth Moving
Earth Moving - это 12-й студийный альбом Майка Олдфилда. Майк пригласил нескольких вокалистов для записи альбома, в том числе свою тогдашнюю девушку Аниту Хегерланд. Earth Moving записан в основном с помощью синтезаторов. Этот альбом стал первым, где отсутствуют длинные инструментальные композиции, столь характерные для Майка Олдфилда. Все треки представляют собой поп или рок песни с вокалом.
Последний, самый длинный, трек альбома, состоит из двух отдельных не связанных между собой песен, разделённых паузой
По словам Майка Олдфилда, его звукозаписывающая компания Virgin потребовала от него создания более коммерчески-направленного альбома, чем его предыдущие работы. После записи Earth Moving, Майк захотел записать альбом без какой-либо помощи компьютерной техники, используя лишь настоящие инструменты и "живых" музыкантов. Всё это вылилось в его следующий альбом, Amarok.
В интервью для телевизионной программы Good Morning Britain, Майк Олдфилд и Анита Хегерланд рассказали, что при создании песни Innocent они были вдохновлены своей маленькой дочерью Гретой, которая также появилась на клипе для этой песни. Кроме того, на той же программе они исполнили акустическую версию этой песни, Майк играл на гитаре, а Анита пела.

Interesting Facts About Earth Moving
Earth Moving is Mike Oldfield's 12th studio album. Mike invited several vocalists to record the album, including his then girlfriend Anita Hegerland. Earth Moving is recorded primarily with synthesizers. This album was the first where there are no long instrumental compositions so characteristic of Mike Oldfield. All tracks are pop or rock songs with vocals.
The last, longest track of the album consists of two separate unrelated songs, separated by a pause
According to Mike Oldfield, his record company Virgin demanded that he create a more commercially-directed album than his previous work. After recording Earth Moving, Mike wanted to record an album without any help from computer technology, using only real instruments and live musicians. All this resulted in his next album, Amarok.
In an interview for the television program Good Morning Britain, Mike Oldfield and Anita Hegerland said that when they created the song Innocent, they were inspired by their little daughter Greta, who also appeared on the video for this song. In addition, on the same program, they performed an acoustic version of this song, Mike played the guitar, and Anita sang.
