JLS Sample
[edit]I've removed the comment about JLS sampling this song for "Eyes Wide Shut", it's not true. They just sound similar —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.3.82.232 (talk) 01:13, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
Retro Stylings?
[edit]This song's synthesizers remind me of old school NES/GBA music. Does anyone else think so? 149.170.39.36 (talk) 14:29, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
This song seems to be influenced by Madagascar by Art of Trance. NiGHTS (talk) 12:00, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
Video Clip details/trivia
[edit]In the video clip I've seen (YouTube - it's now been "Removed by user"), near the 'transition point' of the song (where the boy is near the fire, and about to lose the bear) something flashes across the screen. I've tried looking frame-by-frame, but can't make it out. Anyone know what it is? Incidentally, that version includes the knife which was meant to be banned for the TV edit. 58.6.2.173 (talk) 16:39, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
Requested move 23 December 2015
[edit]- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: moved. Clearly shown to meet the usage criterion of primary topic and a good argument has been made that this song also has more long-term significance, something which has not been refuted. Jenks24 (talk) 09:03, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
– The album has three broken references and the EP has no references at all. The song is the clear winner here. Unreal7 (talk) 17:26, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose, instead move to I'm Not Alone (Calvin Harris song) per WP:NCM. There is no "winner" this is an encyclopedia not Top of the Pops. In ictu oculi (talk) 13:59, 24 December 2015 (UTC)
- I meant "winner" as in most popular article for readers out of the three. You sound like the most uncultured person around... Unreal7 (talk) 12:36, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
- The point is encyclopedias don't have to have "winners" at all. There are 2 albums and 12 songs. Let them all be found. In ictu oculi (talk) 20:32, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
- If it was up to me anyone who gave reasons as fallacious as that would have their opposition ignored. Let them all be found? Who on earth is going to be searching for completely unnotable album tracks? Nowhere near as many as the number of people looking for this song - fact. IIO, I really wish I didn't have to keep telling you this: just because something exists, DOES NOT automatically make it notable. Unreal7 (talk) 12:21, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
- The problem again is that popular culture has cultural silos. For example I'm Not Alone (album) by Keith Martin, I'm Not Alone (EP) by Patent Pending and all the 12 songs may be more notable to fans of that song who may never have heard of Calvin Harris. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:58, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
- But are they more notable to the majority? No, not at all. Unreal7 (talk) 01:39, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

- Support other largely unheard of subjects without known chartings have little if any long-term significance compared to a song that reached #1 in the UK. Primary topic is indeed rather obvious. Snuggums (talk / edits) 00:48, 26 December 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose – While this may be considered the primary subject, the album and EP still have some significance. 2601:8C:4001:DCF4:D513:8975:380F:B573 (talk) 05:03, 30 December 2015 (UTC
- Nowhere near as much as the song though. Unreal7 (talk) 11:56, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
- Strongest possible support per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, the only bluelink alternatives are I'm Not Alone (album) and I'm Not Alone (EP). Replying to the anonymous IP above, I would be curious to know which significance they have, as apparently they have nothing, as the album is sourced only to unreliable sites and primary sources and the EP article is completely unsourced. They did not chart, their performers are way less notable than Calvin Harris, and the articles appear to be helpless stubs. The song was an international hit, got a lot of coverage, and easily dominates page stats. According to stats, last month the album was visited a mere 51 times [1], while the EP is just a little better, 74 times [2]. The article about the song was instead visited 1115 times [3]. Other months report similar numbers. The EP and the album barely exist and maybe have obscure, borderline notability, but the song actually is the only topic which has a solid claim of notability, and the only topic our readers really care about and visit, let alone the obvious primary topic.
