Cassandra Steen was born in Ostfildern-Ruit near Stuttgart, Germany in 1980. At the age of 17 the singer gained first prominence when she was featured on the 1997 album "Quadratur des Kreises" by Freundeskreis, with whom she toured through Germany, Austria and Switzerland for a few years.
In 1998 Steen was signed by Booya Records, but due to musical differences she soon asked for a release. Two years later a demo tape got into the hands of 3p label head Moses Pelham. The rapper initially engaged Cassandra as a background singer for Sabrina Setlur and Xavier Naidoo, before they started working on Steen's solo debut in late 2000. However, the record became a more commen project, and in agreement with composer Martin Haas they decided to release the same-titled album as a trio under the synonyme Glashaus, Steen singing the lead vocals.
Among three successful albums and number of hit singles the trio also partially produced Cassandra's solo album, "Seele Und Herz", which was eventually released in summer 2003 and spawned the slow jam "Wenn Du Lachst". Furthermore she continued singing background and chorus for label mates Illmatic and Setlur.
Since 2003 Cassandra Steen has made guest appearances on several new releases by J Luv, W4C, Melbeatz, Bushido and Curse. Her latest collaboration with rapper Azad, "Eines Tages" (released in May 2006), has been a big airplay success.
Gebt alles
Cassandra Steen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Taucher taucht tiefer,
Liebende liebt noch intensiver!
Hellseher seht heller,
Zeit heilt die Wunden schneller,
Kinder seid noch kindlicher,
Suchende sucht und findet mehr.
Sänger singt von der Herrlichkeit,
Gläubige erzählt von der Ewigkeit,
Trainer trainiert gekonnter,
Denn sonst wer bleibt nicht sonst wer.
Dichter schreibt nur noch Liebeslieder,
Schuster bringt uns das Handwerk wieder,
Maler malt das Leben,
Dann was kann es Schöneres geben?
Gebt alles, wir sind der Boden der uns trägt.
Gebt alles, denn wir sind das was uns bewegt alles.
Wir halten es in unserer Hand!
Gebt alles, von Anfang an.
Götter seid stärker,
Gelehrte gelehrter,
Ärzte macht das Leben lebenswerter.
Richter richtet uns milder,
Tänzer tanzt noch viel wilder,
Sehnsucht werde heißer,
Sesam öffne dich weiter.
Sänger singt von der Herrlichkeit,
Gläubige erzählt von der Ewigkeit,
Trainer trainiert gekonnter,
denn sonst wer bleibt nicht sonst wer.
Dichter schreibt nur noch Liebeslieder,
Schuster bringt uns das Handwerk wieder,
Politiker schafft Klarheit,
Denn die Wirklichkeit braucht Wahrheit!
Gebt alles, wir sind der Boden der uns trägt.
Gebt alles, denn wir sind das was uns bewegt alles.
Wir halten es in unserer Hand!
Gebt alles, von Anfang an.
Gebt alles behaltet nichts für euch,
Gibt alles behalte nichts für dich,
Oh oh, oh ouh ouh.
Gebt alles behaltet nichts für euch,
Gebt alles es ist leicht, ganz, ganz leicht!
Oh, oh, oh ouh ouh.
Manchmal fühlt es sich zu viel an,
Der Wind sich zu kühl an,
Du bist müde und leer.
Doch du kennst es, du weißt es,
Gehst du noch mal weiter schenkt das Leben dir mehr.
Gebt alles,
Wir sind der Boden der uns trägt,
gebt alles,
Denn wir sind das was uns bewegt alles.
Wir halten es in unserer Hand,
Gebt alles von Anfang an.
Gebt alles behaltet nichts für euch,
Gibt alles behalte nichts für dich,
Oh oh, oh ouh ouh.
Gebt alles behaltet nichts für euch,
gebt alles es ist leicht, ganz, ganz leicht!
Oh, oh, oh ouh ouh

Give It Your All
Winners are victors
The diver dives deeper
The lover loves even more intensive
Clairvoyants look brighter
Time heals all wounds faster
Children are still childlike
Seekers seek and they find more
The singer sings of glory
The believer speaks of eternity
The trainer trains with ability
If not, there’s no one special left
The poet writes nothing but love songs
The cobbler brings back his handicraft
The painter paints the living
Then what can be more pleasing?
Give it your all; we are the ground that sustains us
Give it your all, because we’re the force that drives us
We hold it in our hands
Give it your all, from the beginning on
Gods are stronger
The scholar is more scholarly
Doctors make this life more worthwhile to live
Judges judge us milder
Dancers dance even wilder
Desire becomes hotter
Sesame opens wider
The singer sings of glory
The believer speaks of eternity
The trainer trains with ability
If not, there’s no one special left
The poet writes nothing but love songs
The cobbler brings back his handicraft
The politician creates clarity
As reality needs the plain truth
Give it your all; we are the ground that sustains us
Give it your all, because we are the force that drives us
We hold it in our hands
Give it your all, from the beginning on
Give it all you got, don’t keep it for yourself
Give it all you got, don’t keep it to yourself
Oh Oh .. Oh Ouh Ouh.
Give it all you got, don’t keep it to yourself
Give it your all; it is easy, very very easy
Oh Oh .. Oh Ouh Ouh.
Sometimes it feels like too much,
Sometimes the wind feels too cool,
You’re tired and empty
Yet you know it, you understand it
If you go a bit further; life will give you more
Give it your all; we’re the ground that sustains us
Give it your all, because we are the force that drives us
We hold it in our hands
Give it your all, from the beginning on
Give it all you got, don’t keep it for yourself
Give it all you got, don’t keep it to yourself
Oh Oh .. Oh Ouh Ouh
Give it all you got, don’t keep it for yourself
Give it your all; it is easy, very very easy
Oh Oh .. Oh Ouh Ouh
