About Fable

"Fable" is a song by the Italian musician Robert Miles. It was released in May 1996 as the second single from his album Dreamland. The song features uncredited vocals from Fiorella Quinn. Like Children, the single received universal acclaim. It was a hit in several countries, reaching top ten in Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland and UK. Its highest position in Europe was number 2 in Finland, but the single was unable to dislodge Metallica's "Until It Sleeps", which topped the chart then. The song was charted in 1997, as third single (after "Children" and "One and One"), on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play on which it peaked at number one for one week. In the United States and Europe, the song was featured in advertising to promote the 1998 film Ever After starring Drew Barrymore.
