Dawson-Harrison left the Dutch group Twenty 4 Seven after a fallout with producer Ruud Van Rijen, just after the release of their debut album, 'Street Moves' in late 1990. He released a solo album, Do That Thang, soon after. The album sold poorly, however, with the European charts seemingly not ready for its hip hop style.
It was followed by two singles, the title track 'Do That Thang', and 'Shirley'.
In 1992 he met German producers Adler, Eisele and Keil, and they formed the Captain Hollywood Project, adding vocalist Nina to the group later that year.
The group issued two Eurodance-focused singles, 'More and More', and 'Only With You' in 1993. Both were huge hits in a number of European charts.
The debut album, 'Love Is Not Sex', sold 400,000 copies in Europe. It included 'More and More' and 'Only With You', plus the later singles 'All I Want' and 'Impossible', both released in early 1994.
In late May 1994, 'Rhythm Of Life' was sent to many radio stations as a promo maxi, but it was never officially released.
In 1995, after almost a year of silence, the group released their second album, 'Animals Or Human'. It didn't match the sales of their debut album, but still shifted 200,000 copies. Nina left the group to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Petra. Dawson-Harrison then established his own record company and studio called Hollywood Productions. 'Animals or Human' also featured a number of new producers, including Nosie Katzmann of Culture Beat fame, and Attack II.
Three singles followed the release of the album, 'Flying High', 'Find Another Way' and 'The Way Love Is'. The first two singles were again huge hits, but 'The Way Love Is' was a slight failure in comparison.
In mid-1996, the group teamed up with Alex Belcher, Force, Miles Gordon, Klaus Peras and Rico Sparx for the production of their third album. 'Over and Over', the first single for the forthcoming album, was a popular club hit during the summer. Notably the group had ditched the 'Project' part of their name, and were now named simply 'Captain Hollywood'.
The album included two more singles, 'Love and Pain' and 'The Afterparty', both in remixed form. Both singles flopped, however, and the group disbanded in early 1997.
All I Want
Captain Hollywood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I want
All I want is you
A love is harder than rocks an' ice
Sometimes love can be so nice
A gamble, just like.
Lose once and then lose twice
Jumping in my panting
Somewhere, don't get anywhere
Just give me the hell out of here
Pain in my heart
Ask myself why did I start
This thing, that keeps me daring changing
And driving me crazy
Sometimes, I want to step back
But the heart to do that
Yo no matter what you do
All I want is you
All I want is you Babe
No matter where you're going to Babe
No matter what you let me know
I'll always follow you
All I want is save me
I'll get to you when you're waving
No matter if you tell me no
I always make it so
I know what I want
I know what I want
All I want is you Babe
I know what I want
I know what I want
All I want is you Babe
Time is what we're wasting
And success the dreams we're chasing
Cause we need to sit down stop for a play around
Find a place to a humbly town
Get my Brainstorm bring your things down
Crackes love worn
Peace is what you say to me
All the time you try betraying me
Hope one day we'll stop and we'll see
Yo that's not the way be
Living a life of blaster
Look a the world : a disaster
Helper put your hands together
Try to live toghether we can never
But still no matter what you do
All I want is you
The lyrics to Captain Hollywood's song "All I Want" speak about the ups and downs of love and relationships. The singer acknowledges that love can be difficult but still hopes for it anyway. He talks about the pain in his heart and questioning why he started this thing that keeps him daring and changing, yet also driving him crazy. Despite the challenges and times when he wants to step back, he knows that what he wants is the person he's singing about, and he'll follow them no matter where they go or what they do. He even mentions the idea of sitting down together and finding peace, and pleads for the hope that they can one day live together without betrayal or disaster.

All I want
The most important thing to me
All I want
The most important thing to me
All I want is you
You are the only one I want
A love is harder than rocks an' ice
Love can be difficult and unforgiving
Sometimes love can be so nice
At times, love can be wonderful
A gamble, just like.
Love is like taking a risk
Lose once and then lose twice
If you fail once, it could happen again
But still I'm hoping
Despite the challenges, I am optimistic
Jumping in my panting
Anxious and excited about love
Somewhere, don't get anywhere
I am lost in my emotions
Just give me the hell out of here
I want to escape from my feelings
Pain in my heart
Love can cause emotional distress
Ask myself why did I start
I question why I even pursued love
This thing, that keeps me daring changing
Love is a constant challenge that causes growth
And driving me crazy
Love can be overwhelming
Sometimes, I want to step back
At times, I want to distance myself from love
But the heart to do that
It is difficult to walk away from love
Yo no matter what you do
Regardless of your actions
All I want is you
You are the only one I want
All I want is you Babe
You are my everything, my love
No matter where you're going to Babe
I will follow you anywhere
No matter what you let me know
Regardless of what you say or do
I'll always follow you
I will always be by your side
All I want is save me
I only need your love to feel whole
I'll get to you when you're waving
I will come to you when you beckon me
No matter if you tell me no
Even if you reject me
I always make it so
I will find a way to make things work
I know what I want
I have a clear idea of what I desire
I know what I want
I have a clear idea of what I desire
All I want is you Babe
You are the only one I want
I know what I want
I have a clear idea of what I desire
I know what I want
I have a clear idea of what I desire
All I want is you Babe
You are the only one I want
Time is what we're wasting
We are losing time
And success the dreams we're chasing
We are pursuing our aspirations
Cause we need to sit down stop for a play around
We need to relax and enjoy life
Find a place to a humbly town
We should seek a simpler existence
Get my Brainstorm bring your things down
We should work together and collaborate
Crackes love worn
Our love is not perfect, but it endures
Peace is what you say to me
You speak words of calm and harmony to me
All the time you try betraying me
You sometimes hurt me unintentionally
Hope one day we'll stop and we'll see
I hope we can gain clarity about our relationship
Yo that's not the way be
That is not the right approach
Living a life of blaster
Existing in a chaotic and frenzied manner
Look a the world : a disaster
The world is in turmoil
Helper put your hands together
We should join forces
Try to live toghether we can never
We may not be able to make our relationship work
But still no matter what you do
Regardless of your actions
All I want is you
You are the only one I want

Captain Hollywood Project album 'Love is not Sex' got the most stylish eurodance I've ever heard, it's simply amazing.
@jkarhiaho
100% agree with you. It's very sophisticated compared to many other eurodance albums
@kaiser1963
Hollywood project songs in general were a lot more poetic than most eurodance songs I noticed that
@FractalKrystian
The same year as Prodigy and Massive Attack started to shine. Whole pop scene back then was heavenly more classy and human at the same time than after like 2005.
