5 out of 5 stars SUPREME DANCE TRACK.......2004-07-04

This is one of the best dance track ever release in the past few years, wow Tina Arena injects such melancolic vibration and her voice it's unmistakeable SUPREME, the lyrics are other great + for this winning track, the remixes are well done. But the original steals the show, and it's one of those track you can CRY and DANCE at the same time, this is PURE PLEASURE.

5 out of 5 stars One of 2 favorite dance tracks.......2004-06-03

This song is fantastic! Love the Original Extended mix. HEAVEN!
I could listen to it over & over -- and have since I bought it a year ago. (My other favorite track was also featured on the Season 3 soundtrack for Queer As Folk, FROM THE INSIDE by Gioia Bruno. Also HEAVEN!)
BUY THIS RECORD!

3 out of 5 stars Great song, so-so remixes.......2004-03-19

"Never" reminds me of the dance/pop/R&B sound and feel of Everything But the Girl's song "Missing" which was a great track fast or slow. And this showed in the remixes.

Unfortunately, this CD does not follow the same path as "Missing." The remixes are either uninteresting slight variations or are laden with techno sounds that contribute very little to enhancing either the bittersweet melancholy tone or improving the danceability of the original. The flaw seems to be that the remixers failed to recognize that the major selling point of this song is Tina Arena's voice. Instead of focusing on that, or perhaps complementing it, they drown it with boring background beats. Too bad.

I bought this CD thinking I wasn't that interested in the other Roc Project songs. Now I wish I had paid a little more for the full album or maybe the import version which comes with a video.

My recommendation: Pass on this one and go for the full album unless you've heard all these remix tracks and know you'll like the CD.

5 out of 5 stars another great variation.......2003-11-03

Originally, I heard this song on the Queer as Folk, the third season, soundtrack. It was the Tiesto mix, a faster tempo of the version released. Then, I heard the original version through a friend of mine and loved this one just as well.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome tune, a welcome return!.......2003-06-29

The different mixes of this single have been favourites to DJs across the nation. This single recently reached #1 on the US dance charts and it is well deserved. It's catchy beat, the bittersweet lyrics, and an excellent set of remixes make it one of the Spring-Summer dance anthems without a doubt. It is great to see Tina Arena having another hit in the US, given that she has a lot of talent that has been (unfortunately) ignored due to poor promotion on the part of her label (with their misguided attempts to turn her into the "next Celine Dion," instead of taking advantage of her charm and vocal power).

The best mix is definitely DJ Tiesto's. This is one CD single that is worth buying as it will remain a house classic for years to come. I only hope that Tina gets a new US deal after the success that this track has enjoyed.

5 out of 5 stars NEVER HITS TINA!.......2004-01-20

Already a dancefloor smash in the US that left releases of sisters Kylie and Dannii Minogue at the near bottom of the US Billboard Dance Charts heads "Never (Past Tense). A collaboration with #1 UK DJ Ray Roc, the single exudes euro techno beats with a very sour-to-the-positive kind of lyrics, pay attention to it. "Never (past tense) divides Arena as a ballad queen to a disco diva. Buy both the UK and the US version of the single. So good, it was included in the "Queer As Folks" soundtrack plus the both singles contain brilliant and very different mixes, you won't get bored! BUY THE SINGLE!!!

I heard this song while I was driving in my car, I have been searching for this song since I heard it and it is not available at this time. I will be looking for the cd and will purchase it whenever it becomes available. Very haunting melody.
