"Take Me Away" is a song by Northern Irish musical group D:Ream, released in June 1994 by FXU and Magnet Records as the fifth single from the group's debut album, D-Ream On Volume 1 (1993). The song is written by frontman Peter Cunnah and produced by Tom Frederikse, and features female vocals by Linda Duggan. It peaked at number 18 on the UK Singles Chart as well as numbers six and nine on the Music Week Dance Singles chart and the UK Club Chart.
Alan Jones from Music Week gave the song a score of four out of five, writing, "Less of an anthem, and, indeed, less of a song than any of D:Ream's bigger hits, this is nevertheless stirring stuff."[1] James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update named it a "wailing True Faith-ish girl prodded breezy bounder" in his weekly dance column.[2] Alex Kadis from Smash Hits also gave it four out of five, saying, "Anyone who saw Take That's last tour will have seen Peter Cunnah bringing the roof down with this excellent singalongable dance song. But, there's a bit of a done-that-seen-that vibe to this too. Peter can do even better."[3]
