Among his most famous songs is “9pm (Till I Come)”, which topped the charts in the United Kingdom in 1998 and is widely regarded as the UK’s first Trance number one. The track features a guitar riff which became hugely popular. This guitar sound, which he accidentally found while experimenting with a new producing deck, became the trademark of his early hits. ATB continues to evolve and change with every album. His current style involves more vocals and varied sounds, with frequent pianos.
Despite only releasing a few more singles in the UK, namely “Don’t stop!” (No.3, 300,000 copies sold) and “Killer” (No.4, 200,000 copies sold), he still regularly releases music in his native Germany and in other parts of Europe, where he has scored big hits such as “I Don’t Wanna Stop” and his cover of Olive’s 1996 hit “You’re Not Alone”.
“Two Worlds” (2000) is a two-disc album based upon the concept of different types of music for different moods, with titles such as “The World Of Movement” and “The Relaxing World”.
ATB’s latest hits include uplifting “Ecstasy” and chilling “Marrakech”, both from the album “No Silence” (2004) and also released as singles.
In 2005, ATB released “Seven Years”, a compilation of 20 songs, including many greatest hits such as “The Summer”, “Let U Go”, “Hold U”, “Long Way Home”, and “I Don’t Wanna Stop”. Additionally, “Seven Years includes six new tracks: “Humanity”; “Let U Go (2005 Reworked)”; “Believe in Me”; “Trilogie, Pt. 2”; “Take Me Over”; and “Far Beyond”. Many of ATB’s recent albums have featured vocals from Roberta Carter Harrison, singer for the Canadian duo Wild Strawberries.

Fall Asleep
ATB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you fall asleep
When you fall asleep
The lyrics of ATB's "Fall Asleep" are an exploration of the different things that happen when you fall asleep. The song starts with the line "Things that happen when you fall asleep" which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The tempo of the song is slow and dreamy, which gives listeners the feeling that they are drifting off to sleep.
One possible interpretation of the lyrics is that they are describing the different stages of sleep. For example, the line "Words are losing meaning, don't speak" could be a reference to the fact that during deep sleep, we are not able to process language. The line "I hear your voice but not the words you say" could also be interpreted as a description of this phenomenon.
Another interpretation of the lyrics could be that they are describing the different things that happen in our minds as we drift off to sleep. For example, the line "Colors start to fade away" could be a reference to the fact that our brains start to produce less visual imagery as we fall asleep. Similarly, the line "Morphing faces start to play" could be a reference to the fact that our brains can produce vivid visual hallucinations as we fall asleep.
Overall, "Fall Asleep" is a beautiful and introspective song that captures the magic and mystery of falling asleep.
Line by Line Meaning
Things that happen
The occurrences that transpire
When you fall asleep
During the state of slumber
Your body will weaken, the spirit be full
The physical body will relax while the soul becomes more pronounced
This connection's been such a celestial touch
The bond between the two entities is akin to a divine embrace
The universe flows, everything's rushing in
The cosmos itself seems to be moving and flooding in around the sleeper
Energy's stronger when two hearts begin
The energy felt during this slumber is amplified when two hearts connect
To beat in a moment, that's where we begin
The moment two hearts start beating together is the start of a deep connection
Things that happen
The occurrences that transpire
When you fall asleep
During the state of slumber
