Hard Trance is very similar to regular trance except it usually contains a lower and louder baseline and will often have a slightly increased tempo. The melodies are also often more "definite" as opposed to the purely rhythmic and ethereal sound of regular trance.
Origins
Hard trance is a subgenre of trance music that originated in Western Europe (Belgium, Germany, and Netherlands) in the early 1990s as the breakbeat hardcore production community began to diversify into new and different styles of electronic music, all influenced by hard house, New beat, happy hardcore and jungle. The popularity of hard trance peaked during the late 1990s, and has since then faded in scope of newer forms of trance.
Hard trance is often characterized by strong, hard (or even downpitch) kicks, fully resonant basses and an increased amount of reverberation applied to the main beat. Melodies vary from 140 to 180 in tempo, and can feature plain instrumental sound in early compositions, with the latter ones tending to implement side-chaining techniques of progressive on digital synthesizers.
Hard trance was the final form of progressive to hit the mainstream. It eventually morphed into hardstyle, jumpstyle and gabber. Its mainstream popularity decreased in the mid-2000s
History
The hard trance sound developed out of the breakbeat hardcore/hardcore era which itself developed from Belgian New Beat industrial style of Techno. When the hardcore breakbeat production community split into its separate subgenres, hard trance began to develop within the breakbeat hardcore production community. Hard trance went on to become one of the dominant and most successful electronic music styles throughout the 1990s in mainland Europe and around the world. The British electronic music scene split off into other styles such as jungle/drum and bass, hardcore, techno and house.
Popularity, commercialisation and commercial downfall
Europe
Remaining popular around 1993–1997 in mainland Europe, hard trance was associated with mega-raves of many thousands of ravers. Many series of compilation CDs came initially from the originators of the sound and the clubs that promoted it. It ultimately went overground and reached commercial status becoming known commercially as "maximaal".
Throughout the 1990s the popularity of the sound caused a flurry of popular and financially successful tracks to be licensed by major record labels, with the sound becoming aggressively marketed through commercial compilations on TV, radio and across the different forms of media.
UK
The hard trance sound came to the UK via the underground techno community in clubs such as Heaven, Trade, Melt and FF and Fist or through clubs such as The Omen in Morley and Club UK in London. It never reached the same commercial heights or as on the continental mainland due to British music scene already being widely diversified into styles such as jungle/drum & bass, hardcore and house. However it is frequently played in the free party scene and many clubs and festivals still play it to this day.
Influence on other musical styles
Europe
Alongside the birth of hard trance, the same producers and record labels were already producing and developing the jumpstyle sound, the successor of gabber, which was popular in the Netherlands. Jumpstyle used the same sounds as the hard trance sound with faster beat patterns but slightly slower than gabber, this developed directly into hardstyle toward the end of the 1990s, which along hardtechno and hard house came to dominate the harder spectrum of electronic music.[clarification needed]
UK
The sound influenced and led to the development of UK hard house and its subgenres, prior to this style the UK clubs where hard house developed were typically already playing a mixture of harder techno styles, progressive trance, electro and hardstyle incorporating many sounds and influences from each style can be heard across the others.

Live my day as if there was no past
Doin' it all night, all summer
Doin' it the way I wanna
Yeah, I'ma dance my heart out 'til the dawn
But I won't be done when morning comes
Doin' it all night, all summer
Gonna spend it like no other
It was a crush
But I couldn't, couldn't get enough
It was a rush
But I gave it up
It was a crush
Now I might have went and said too much
But that's all it was
So I gave it up
I live my day as if it was the last
Live my day as if there was no past
Doin' it all night, all summer
Doin' it the way I wanna
Yeah, I'ma dance my heart out 'til the dawn
But I won't be done when morning comes
Doin' it all night, all summer
Gonna spend it like no other
It was a crush
I kept saying I'ma stay in touch
But that thing went bust
So I gave it up, ooh
No tricks, no bluff
I'm just better off without them cuffs
Yeah, the sun won't set on us
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah
Went low, went high
Still waters run dry
Gotta get back in the groove
I ain't ever worried
Went low, went high
What matters is now
Getting right back in the mood
I live my day as if it was the last
Live my day as if there was no past
Doin' it all night, all summer
Doin' it the way I wanna
Yeah, I'ma dance my heart out 'til the dawn
But I won't be done when morning comes
Doin' it all night, all summer
Gonna spend it like no other
Now I've found another crush
The lush life giving me a rush
Had one chance to make me blush
Second time is one too late
Now I've found another crush
The lush life giving me a rush
Had one chance to make me blush
Second time is one too late
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I live my day as if it was the last
Live my day as if there was no past
Doin' it all night, all summer
Doin' it the way I wanna
Yeah, I'ma dance my heart out 'til the dawn
But I won't be done when morning comes
Doin' it all night, all summer
Gonna spend it like no other
Now I've found another crush
The lush life giving me a rush
Had one chance to make me blush
Second time is one too late
Now I've found another crush
The lush life giving me a rush
Had one chance to make me blush
Second time is one too late
The song "Lush Life" by Zara Larsson is about living in the moment and enjoying life to the fullest without worrying about the past or the future. The lyrics "I live my day as if it was the last, Live my day as if there was no past" portrays this idea. The singer wants to dance all night and make the most of her time without any regrets. She mentions having a crush on someone before but realizing that it was just a passing phase, and now she has found someone new who gives her a rush.
The lines "Went low, went high, Still waters run dry, Gotta get back in the groove" indicate that in life, there are both good and bad times, but it’s important to keep moving forward even when things get tough. The song is upbeat and catchy, matching the carefree attitude of the lyrics.

But I couldn't, couldn't get enough
Struggling with wanting more despite knowing it wasn't right

But that's all it was

So I gave it up

Yeah, the sun won't set on us
Feeling limitless and invincible
Went low, went high
Experiencing highs and lows in life
Still waters run dry
Life can get stagnant and boring if one doesn't take risks
Gotta get back in the groove
Finding one's rhythm and getting back on track
I ain't ever worried
Feeling confident and carefree
What matters is now
Living in the present moment
Now I've found another crush
Finding a new romantic interest
The lush life giving me a rush
Living life to the fullest feels exhilarating
Had one chance to make me blush
The new crush made a memorable first impression
Second time is one too late
Not giving someone a second chance if they missed their opportunity
