Alex Moerman & Paul Gorbulski are a hardstyle duo from Israel. Their unique style is Hands Up – a mixture of Eurodance & Hard Dance, but always flavored with House, Trance, 80's, Rock or Electro elements. In studio, Alex contributes the beats and sound design. He Used to play the drums and therefore has a great ability in creating the right groove for Crystal Lake's tracks. Paul is in charge of the melodies and the lyrics. When Paul was a kid he used to play the violin, after training for 1 year he threw the violin against the wall and broke it! Guess that wasn't meant to be. After his unsuccessful violin experience Paul started taking piano lessons.
Crystal Lake was founded in Friday 13th 1999, since then Alex & Paul were busy breaking their own personal records, always aiming higher & higher towards their ultimate goal.
Over the years Crystal Lake had numerous amounts of live shows, dozens of top chart positions, over 2 Million views on YouTube, their own radio show (Crystal Nation) with over 13,000 listeners and are regularly featured on compilations such as Dream Dance (Sony), VIVA Club Rotation (Ministry Of Sound) & Future Trance (Universal).

Dreamcatcher
Crystal Lake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when it blinds you see 'em?
to rewind those nights
when my heart kept racing
out of sight
out of mind
cause every moment dream became a precious sign
the truth is i was far away from home
but room
camera and action flare of light turns the night from a dream to reality
when everything i've schemed of and what i've believed got this spotlight on me
not this dawn's upon me
thie flare of light
i believe i see 'em!
when i scream out loud
i forget i'm speaking
from this memory lane i can start again
just to reflect upon this reason it began
i know even if got this burning fire inside
there's a mother that gave birth to two and kept them alive
one kept breathing and believed in something others despised
well i breathe and i believe what sis has always inspired
you were the spark of light
so let's burn op the sky
to the stars with all i've got
now its time to call the shots
to the stars
to the stars with everything i've got
we've come this far
we break every boundary in sight
burn it up
give it all you've got
fuel the fire
light up the sky
our dreams shall ignite
you were the spark of light
so let's burn up the night
come take me
far from here
it's dark and deep
in my youth i was dreaming
and i still keep dreaming of what i wanna do and what i wanna be
like a vulture i'm seeking
i won't regret what i've done
cause in the end there's no turning back
i'll pursuit the life to reach beyond the sun
i feel alive
a feel alive tonight
tonight is the night that i'm alive
The lyrics of Crystal Lake's "Dreamcatcher" are about dreaming, pursuing one's passions, and being true to oneself, despite the challenges and obstacles that one may face in life. The song begins with the singer reflecting on the past and how it felt like his dreams were just out of reach. However, he remembers the moments when he felt like he was making progress, and the hope that those moments gave him.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about the moment when everything he had worked for, and everything he believed in, finally came to fruition. He speaks about the joy and the inspiration that he felt, as well as the fear and the loneliness that he endured along the way. However, he also acknowledges the people who supported him, especially his mother, who gave birth to him and his sister, and who kept them alive despite the odds.
The lyrics are a call to action, a reminder to always keep striving, no matter what obstacles one may face. The singer implores the listener to fuel the fire, light up the sky, and pursue their dreams, no matter how impossible they may seem. The song is a powerful anthem about the importance of self-belief, perseverance, and never giving up.
