Background and writing
Miles has stated two motives for the writing of "Children". One was as a response to photographs of child war victims his father had brought home from a humanitarian mission in the former Yugoslavia;[1] 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 them driving home as a means to reduce car accident deaths. Humanitarian aid (also called succour) is material or logistical assistance provided for humanitarian purposes typically in response to humanitarian crises The Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia ( Serbo-Croatian, Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, Slovene, Macedonian: A disc jockey (also known as DJ or deejay) is a person who selects and plays recorded music for an audience A DJ mix or DJ mixset is a sequence of musical tracks typically mixed together to appear as one continuous track A rave (or rave party) is a term in use since the 1980s to describe Dance Parties (often all-night events [2]
"Children" is one of the pioneering tracks of dream house, a genre of electronic dance music characterized by fewer beats per minute than other house music styles, and melodies written to evoke emotion.

House music is a style of Electronic dance music initially popularized in mid-1980s Discothèques catering to the African-American, Latino The creation of dream house was a response to social pressures in Italy during the early 1990s: the growth of rave culture among young adults, and the ensuing popularity of nightclub attendance, had created a weekly trend of deaths due to car accidents as clubbers drove across the country overnight, falling asleep at the wheel from strenuous dancing as well as alcohol and drug use. A rave (or rave party) is a term in use since the 1980s to describe Dance Parties (often all-night events A nightclub (or "night club" or "club" is a drinking, dancing, and entertainment venue which does its primary business after dark Club drugs are a loosely-defined category of Recreational drugs which are associated with discothèques in the 1970s and Dance clubs parties and Raves in In mid-1996, deaths due to this phenomenon, called strage del sabato sera (Saturday night slaughter) in Italy, were being estimated at around 2000 since the start of the decade. The move by DJs such as Miles to play slower, calming music to conclude a night's set, as a means to counteract the fast-paced, repetitive tracks that preceded, was met with approval by authorities and parents of car crash victims. [3]
Critical reception
Billboard magazine attributes the song's widespread success to its melodic nature, characterized by an "instantly recognizable" piano riff (which, ironically, was not found in the track's original version). See Billboard (Turkish magazine Billboard is a weekly American Magazine devoted to the Music industry They identify this factor as making the song accessible to a broader audience beyond clubbers and fans of electronic dance music alone by means of radio airplay. Synonyms Since around the mid-1980s electronic dance music has enjoyed popularity in many Nightclubs and as of 2006 is the predominant type of music played in Airplay (noun The broadcasting of an audio (eg a piece of music or audiovisual recording on the air over radio or television [2] Synthmania. com, which identifies the song as being written on a Kurzweil K2000, calls this the "dream house piano" sound, consisting of "standard piano, syn bass and string/pad sounds bathed in delay and reverb".

The first video of "Children".
Music videos
Billboard ascribes the final stage of the song's promotion to the airing of its music video on music television networks such as MTV Europe and Germany's VIVA. A music video is a Short film or video that accompanies a complete piece of music most commonly a Song with lyrics MTV Europe launched on 1 August 1987 under a co-operative agreement by Viacom and British Telecom PLC until 1991 when Viacom took over full ownership VIVA is a private German music Television channel located in Berlin. [2] Two videos were produced, the first being the one Billboard discusses: black and white footage of a small girl riding in a car through a diverse range of landscape. The locations are London (Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square), Paris (The Eiffel Tower can be seen) and Switzerland (Robert Miles's home country).
The second video, filmed in colour, alternates between images of Miles DJing at a nightclub rave and images of children at play, thereby touching upon both of the themes of the song.
Chart performances by country
"Children" was first released in Italy in January 1995 on Joe T. Vanelli's DBX imprint label, as part of the Soundtracks EP. In the Publishing Industry, an imprint can refer to two different things It can mean a Brand name under which a work is published Subsequently, following exposure at a gathering of DJs and record producers in Miami, the track was licensed by the UK-based Deconstruction Records; it was then licensed to more than a dozen additional record labels in Europe through DBX and Deconstruction. Deconstruction Records was a Record label founded in 1987 by Pete Hadfield and Keith Blackhurst in the United Kingdom. [2]
"Children" was a success worldwide peaking at #1 in more than 12 countries and holding that position for several weeks. "Children" reached #1 in the following countries: Austria (6 weeks), Belgium, Denmark, Finland (3 weeks), France (11 Weeks), Germany, Italy, Norway (5 Weeks), Spain, Sweden (7 weeks) and Switzerland (13 Weeks); beyond that, according to Billboard magazine, it reached the top five in "every European country that has a singles chart". [2] It reached #2 on the UK[5] staying 17 weeks on the chart, and it reached #21 in the U. S. , holding that position for 4 weeks. Along with U2 members Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr.'s reworking of the Mission: Impossible theme, it marked the first time since November 1985 that two instrumentals had simultaneously charted in the top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100. Adam Charles Clayton (born 13 March 1960 in Chinnor, Oxfordshire, UK is the bassist of the rock band U2. Lawrence Joseph "Larry" Mullen Jr (born 31 October 1961 in Artane, Dublin, Ireland is the Drummer for the Irish rock band Mission Impossible (often referred to as Mission Impossible The Original Series) is an American Television series that chronicles [6]
French nightclubs began playing the imported record from Italy in 1995, making France one of the first countries to popularize the track. Spreading through the underground from clubs to, eventually, the radio, it was licensed there by an independent record label in November 1995. Spain and Italy itself were the other early adopters that brought the track into clubs. Club charts in these countries signalled "Children"'s popularity to other countries: In Denmark, club and radio play followed the single's release, while in Belgium radio play only followed by crossing over from club play, and in the Netherlands radio play was the primary factor in the single's promotion. Crossover is a term applied to Musical works or performers appearing on two or more of the Record charts which track differing musical tastes or genres In Germany, a domestic release came after demand built up from club play through promotional releases from the UK and Italy. [2]
In the United Kingdom, BBC Radio 1 did not play the song on its daytime playlist at first,[1] though Radio 1 DJ Pete Tong did promote it through his Essential Selection program, including it as part of the show-opening "Essential Seven" several times at the start of 1996. Peter "Pete" Tong (born July 30, 1960) is an English DJ who works for BBC Radio 1. The Essential Selection was a Radio show on Friday evenings 600pm-900pm on BBC Radio One, hosted by Pete Tong. [7] Meanwhile, Kiss FM was among the first to play the song, even using it in one of the station's minute-long television commercials. Kiss 100 is a radio station broadcasting to London on 1000 MHz FM specialising in hip hop, R&B, urban and Dance music [2] Still, "Children" reached the number three position on the UK Singles Chart prior to promotion and marketing. The UK Singles Chart is compiled by The Official UK Charts Company (OCC on behalf of the British record industry [8]
