With his incredible sense beautiful melodies and a production quality that deserves a lot of recognition, Nate ”Audien” Rathbun is starting to show off his skills in a trance scene that many had mistaken for being dead and gone.

At age 18 and hailing from the Northeastern shores of USA, Nate has silently been honing his skills ever since his first encounter with EDM at age 15. Having been brought up in a family with a mother that was very passionate about music in general, and a father that expressed his joy through guitar playing and singing, undoubtedly helped to shape Nate's passion for music. Starting off with up-tempo techno gradually transitioning to trance and progressive. It did not take long for people to see that Nate had a flair for the melodies and the production skills needed to make quality productions.

Recently Nate has seen his originals getting picked up by heavyweight UK trance label Enhanced Recordings, as well as getting attention from the dutch imprint Flashover which is also the home for the dutch trance legend Ferry Corsten.

On the remix front Nate has proven himself capable at working at an amazing pace; finishing remixes for before mentioned, Enhanced Recordings, the also UK based Alter Ego, and with numerous other deals in the works it is safe to say that it will not take long before the world will be making the first encounter with young, yet incredibly gifted American.

Wish It Was You
Audien Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't know why
That getting over you is taking all my time
I don't know
Oh my
Remembering us right or was it all a lie
I don't know

'Cause now I'm busy drinking

Wondering what you're thinking
Looking for the answers in somebody else
And we're in different cities
Tell me do you miss me?
You still know me better than I know myself

Oh baby, I'm right where I started
Kissing his lips and pretending it's you
I know it was right that we parted
But every time I think I've found someone new
I wish it was you

I wish it was you
I wish it was you, ooh, ooh
I wish it was you
I wish it was you
I wish it was you, ooh, ooh

I wish it was you, ooh, ooh

I don't know why
I keep looking for you in another's eyes
I don't know
But every time
I think I'm getting closer, it just isn't right
I don't know

'Cause now I'm busy drinking
Wondering what you're thinking
Looking for the answers in somebody else
And we're in different cities
Tell me do you miss me?
You still know me better than I know myself

Oh baby, I'm right where I started
Kissing his lips and pretending it's you
I know it was right that we parted
But every time I think I've found someone new
I wish it was you

I wish it was you
I wish it was you

I wish it was you
I wish it was you
I wish it was you, ooh, ooh
I wish it was you

I wish it was you
I wish it was you, ooh, ooh
