There is also a remake of Samuel Barbers Adagio for Strings. The album's singles were Love Comes Again, Traffic, Just Be (the title track), and Adagio for Strings.

[edit] Credits
The album begins with "Forever Today" which is composed of soft sounds of strings which includes a strong bassline later in the song. It's second track is Tiësto and Brian Transeau's bets work, the second single from the album "Love Comes Again". The song uses latin percussion sounds which are followed by BT's funky vocals. The third track is the uplifting "Traffic". Then he introduces his first work with Joanne Lloyd, titled "Sweet Misery", it is a chill out track with dark vocals and flowing synth lines, it is an unexpected break from the usually expected sounds of Tiësto. He continues by performing the title track of his previous album compilation "Nyana".
Tiësto's first down tempo track in the album, "UR" features vocals of Matt Hales from Aqualung and was remixed by Junkie XL and released as a single with "A Tear In The Open" as its B-side. Another down tempo track in which Tiësto collaborated along half of Gabriel & Dresden, Josh Gabriel in "Walking on Clouds" and Kirsty Hawkshaw's vocals, the song was also released as an instrumental version. "A Tear In The Open" is played in track eight and was composed by Tiësto, Geert Huinink and Daniël Stewart. The title track "Just Be" features Hawkshaw again and became a successful song as it was included in Gabriel & Dresden's "Nip / Tuck: Original TV Soundtrack". Then the best track on the album, "Adagio for Strings" begins with a hard pounding bassline which builds up until the heavenly melodic breakdown rises. The soft and charming sounds of Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings" has been featured in movies such as Platoon and on William Orbit's "Pieces in a Modern Style" album a couple of years back and is the perfect track to be covered by Tiesto.
