"Children (Composition)" is a song by the late Swiss-Italian DJ and music producer Robert Miles. Miles first released the song as part of his 1995 EP titled Soundtracks through DBX Records. This particular version cannot be recorded.
It was re-released in November of the same year (original and "Dream Edition", including vocals), this time on a different label. The re-released version was the lead single from Robert Myers' first studio album, Dreamland.
The latest version has been very successful. It rose to No. 21 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart.The song belongs to the "trance" club music genre (especially "dream trance"). Robert Myers designed it this way for a very specific reason. His goal was to create an ending track to allow partygoers to calm down before leaving. That's because, at the time, car accidents involving young people returning from carousing were serious, especially in Miles' home country of Italy. In fact, things got so bad that the events became known collectively as the "Saturday Night Massacre."
