As a teenager in Ulm, a sleepy town in southern Germany, Marius first began to appreciate the dark arts of beats through a love of DJ Premier’s dark and jazzy cuts. Friends started all getting into turntablism but there were other things on his mind, especially after winning the German Youth Championship in basketball. A brutal knee injury ended these chances but with a lot of spare recovery time now on his hands, he began to teach himself production.
Having fallen in with the Keinemusik crew around ’09 he soon developed a solid live partnership with Rampa. He describes their first night at Horst as one of the key moments in his career, and having previously only performed live, decided to devote himself to Re.You and start DJing too.
His release schedule has been rapidly gathering pace, his first single ‘Work’ with Rampa a roaring success. Joining the Souvenir family fold saw him gain serious recognition with his 2011 single ‘Ghost’ which was featured on Sven Väth’s infamous Sound Of the Season compilation of that year. After destroying Room One Fabric with a Souvenir take over, things hotted up and Marius scored a massive hit with his edit of Lana Del Rey’s ‘Video Games’ which racked up about 50,000 listens in a week.
2012 has been extremely busy, with a hit on Mobilee ‘Junction’, ‘Yeah Yeah Yeah’ on Cocoon and a follow up on Souvenir ‘Falling’ with haunting vocals supplied by fellow compatriot Daniel Wilde. His brother’s new label Avotre has also recently played home to ‘Fever’ and with plenty more strings left to his bow, he has more singles scheduled this year. It may be to basketball’s loss, but music fans across the world can rejoice at the inopportune accident that created this rising star. And better still, there’s plenty more to come!
Anyway
Re.You Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cuz I don't care anymore if they hear you
Say say it anyway if you want to
'Cuz I don't care anymore if they hear you
We might head out from our show pocket
Maybe from now on I'll do what I say
My legs do their work but my heart
I always knew I had it in me
not to be nobody's second rate
CHORUS:
Say say it anyway if you want to
(Say what you want to use up)
'cuz I don't care anymore if they hear you
(I don't know who gives up)
Say say it anyway if you want to
(Say what you want to use up)
'Cuz I don't care anymore if they hear you
(I don't know who gives up)
I hope you won't go out of my way
Your jar is empty
and you've got nothing to give
I took all that was mine
and there it goes in first place
You had me thinking I had lost the one thing
only you could make
(Chorus 2x)
The lyrics to Re.You's song Anyway can be interpreted in various ways, but one common theme can be derived from the chorus: the idea of being unconcerned about what others think or say. The repetition of the line "Say say it anyway if you want to" emphasizes this idea, suggesting that the singer is encouraging someone to speak their mind without fearing judgment or criticism from others. The line "I don't care anymore if they hear you" reinforces this sentiment, driving home the idea that the singer has reached a point where they no longer care about the opinions of others.
The rest of the lyrics provide more context to this theme. For example, the lines "My legs do their work but my heart / sometimes just can't get it straight" suggest a struggle between doing what's expected and being true to oneself. The singer acknowledges that they "always knew" they had potential, but didn't want to settle for being "nobody's second rate." This lyric can be interpreted as a realization that it's important to be true to oneself, rather than conforming to societal expectations.
The final lines of the song, "You had me thinking I had lost the one thing / only you could make," suggest a sense of betrayal or disappointment, as if the singer has come to realize that someone they trusted wasn't what they thought they were. Despite this disappointment, the singer seems to be advocating for moving forward and speaking one's truth regardless of potential consequences.
