"Take Me Away" is a 1995 song recorded by the German eurodance band Culture Beat. It was the third single from their third studio album Inside Out and was released in June 1996. A CD maxi with new remixes was also available, but it was marketed at the same time as the other media
The song was a hit in many countries, particularly in Finland where it reached #6.
Take Me Away was the second single from Fefe Dobson's debut album in Canada and the first single from Fefe Dobson's debut album in the rest of the world. It was a moderate success peaking at #7 on MTV's TRL countdown in 2003. Fefe said: "'Take Me Away,' I relate to it in a certain way, but it was really inspired to me by Sid and Nancy, and John and Yoko, just knowing that there's so many people out there that are in relationships, and they can't be together because of age, race, religion, or maybe it's because the parents don't like the guy or the girl. Of course I can relate, but so can my mother, or the girl next door. A lot of people can relate to that situation." The song reached #20 in Canada.
"Take Me Away" is a song written by Avril Lavigne and Evan Taubenfeld, and was a single released from Lavigne's second album, Under My Skin. It started circulation on Canadian rock radio in March 2004 (see 2004 in music) at around the same time that promotion began for "Don't Tell Me", the internationally released lead single from Under My Skin. "Take Me Away" was featured as a B-side on some editions of the "Don't Tell Me" single, and it was released to radio only as the album's fifth single in Australia in 2005 (see 2005 in music). No music video for the single was released.
Lavigne recorded another song titled "Take Me Away", according to the ASCAP. The other song, written by Lavigne and The Matrix, is completely different from the Under My Skin track: it is a happier song, is longer (at 3:29) and is older (it was recorded in 2002). It was meant to be on Lavigne's first album, Let Go, but didn't make the final track listing.
