"Just Around the Hill" is a song by German production team Sash!,released on 10 April 2000,by X-IT and Positiva Records,as the second single from their third album,Trilenium (2000). It's the second Sash! song featuring British singer Tina Cousins,which also featured on "Mysterious Times" in 1998. The song is written by team members Sascha Lappessen,Ralf Kappmeier and Thomas Alisson,and produced by them with Tokapi. It peaked at No. 8 on the UK Singles Chart and was also a top-10 hit in Romania and the Czech Republic,while peaking within the top 20 in Denmark and Finland. The chorus bears a similarity to Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone". The accompanying music video was directed by Finnish director Antti Jokinen and was filmed in Thailand,featuring Lappessen's wife.[2] There are two versions of the video;one for the ballad version and another for the dance version.
Jon O'Brien from AllMusic noted that Tina Cousins "lends her sultry vocals" to the "gorgeous chillout" song.[3] Pop Rescue commented,"...this sees the return of SASH!'s former collaborator,the brilliant Tina Cousins. This song is unlike anything else so far on this album –it's a pop ballad. Tina's vocals are beautiful,and she's surrounded by minimal bleeping and bubbling synths,and some synth strings. She's given loads of space to show off her rich vocals."[4]
