Now You're Gone (Basshunter song)

"Now You're Gone" is a song performed by Swedish dance musician Basshunter in cooperation with DJ Mental Theo's Bazzheadz. The single uses the same music as "Boten Anna", Basshunter's major European hit in 2006, but its lyrics, performed in English by Sebastian Westwood, are completely different.

The song was covered by Crazy Frog as "Everyone", on his third album and parodied by former BBC Radio 1 host, Chris Moyles.

Differences from "Boten Anna"

In 2007, DJ Mental Theo used the "Boten Anna" instrumental to create a bootleg English-language version for his DJ sets in Magaluf, Mallorca. It was this song that eventually became released as a single.

The song's theme is different from "Boten Anna"; "Boten Anna" is about an IRC bot, and "Now You're Gone" is about a young couple breaking up. The music video expands on this theme, although it suggests a reunion of the couple, which is not referenced in the song itself. The tempo of the song has also been increased compared to "Boten Anna".

Now You're Gone (Whitesnake song)

"Now You're Gone" is a single by hard rock/heavy metal band Whitesnake from their 1989 album Slip of the Tongue. Recorded in 1988 and featured on the aforementionned album in 1989, the song was released as a single in 1990.

"Now You're Gone" follows an alternatively slow/fast paced rhythm. David Coverdale's lyrics focus on a man who desperately longs for a woman after a break-up and is notable for then full-fledged Whitesnake guitarist Steve Vai's shredding guitar and Tommy Aldridge's expert drumming.

The song reached number 96 on the US Billboard Hot 100, number 15 on Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks and number 31 in the United Kingdom.

It is featured on most of Whitesnake's compilation albums, including the Whitesnake's Greatest Hits of 1994 and the 20th anniversary edition of Slip of the Tongue.

Music video

A music video was shot in 1990 in the afternoon before and during a live show in Philadelphia to promote the single. The video was direct by Wayne Isham and features the band playing the song on stage, with footages of the tour and of fans included between scenes of the concert. In the booklet of Slip of the Tongue 20th Anniversary Edition, David Coverdale comments :
