Claims to Fame
Tiësto has been named an Officer of the Order of Orange-Nassau by the Dutch Royalty, as well as being voted 40th greatest citizen of all time in the Netherlands. He was also crowned #1 DJ for three years in a row (2002, 2003, 2004) by DJ mag readers which is a first for any DJ. He then insisted they pick another DJ, because he thought others deserved a chance as well.
Famous Tracks
One of Tiësto's most famous remixes is that of Delerium's song "Silence", which was widely popular and still is to date; it was the song that lifted his career and scored him a recording contract with Nettwerk. Other well known tracks of his include "Flight 643", "Traffic", "Just Be", "Sparkles" and his remix of Adagio For Strings, amongst others. "Flight 643" was voted as the second most influential dance track of all time by ID&T fans. "Traffic" was the first instrumental track to reach #1 in the Netherlands in 23 years.
Concerts
He is well known for his concerts, and his regular slot at the club Amnesia in Ibiza which he got in 2002. Tiësto also played at the 2004 Summer Olympics opening ceremony in Athens, Greece, and released the set on his album Parade of the Athletes. He is also well known for his six hour "Tiësto In Concert" sets, of which he has released two on DVD, including "Tiësto in Concert" in which he became the first DJ ever to play to a sellout crowd of 25,000 people as the only DJ of the night, with no opening or closing act.
Record Label
In 1997, Tiësto set up a record label with his friend Arny Bink on which his Magik series has been released, known as Black Hole Recordings. There is also a sub-label called Magik Muzik, on which Tiësto continues to sign trance DJs such as Cor Fijneman, DJ Ton TB and Mark Norman.

Honey
DJ Tiësto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you try to call me honey
I always thought I knew
I always thought I knew
I was a part of you but now I know
No, I don't wanna be
I always thought I knew the pureness of your love
But now the words you choose won't ever be enough
'Cause what they mean will only hurt me
'Cause I don't wanna hear it this time
I don't wanna feel it this time
I don't wanna be your baby this time
I don't wanna feel this heartache
I don't wanna be your honey this time
I just wanna feel your heart on my side
No, I don't wanna be...
If I whisper words you haven't heard before
Would you read my lips and help them
If I said that I'm a stranger to your world
Would you treat me like your best friend
Could you ever show it this time
I really wanna know it this time
'Cause I don't wanna be your baby this time
I don't wanna feel this heartache
I don't wanna be your honey this time
I just wanna feel your heart on my side
If I said that I will re-invent myself
If I told you yesterday I was somebody else, well
Would you listen to me
Would you let me...
'Cause I don't wanna be your baby this time
I don't wanna feel this heartache
I don't wanna be your honey this time
I just wanna feel your heart on my side
The song "Honey" by DJ Tiësto is about a relationship that has lost its spark. The lyrics describe a situation where the singer does not want to be someone's honey or baby anymore, despite previously believing that they were the most important person to their partner. The lyrics mention that the words that were once sweet and endearing now only serve to hurt the singer. They ask if their partner would still listen to them and treat them kindly even if they were a stranger to their world. Overall, the song is about disillusionment and the desire to be truly understood and valued in a romantic relationship.
One interesting fact about "Honey" is that it features the vocals of American singer-songwriter Kelli-Leigh, who has also worked with fellow DJs Duke Dumont and Jax Jones. The song was released in 2019 as part of Tiësto's album "Together". The music video for the song depicts a couple going through the ups and downs of a relationship, with dancers representing the emotions and tensions between them.
Line by Line Meaning
If I said I mean the world to you
If I told you that I am very important to you
Would you try to call me honey
Would you try to use a term of endearment like 'honey' to show affection towards me
I always thought I knew
I always believed that I understood
I was a part of you but now I know
I was once a significant part of you but now I realize that's no longer true
No, I don't wanna be
No, I don't want to be in this situation anymore
I always thought I knew the pureness of your love
I always believed that your love was pure and true
Everytime you call me honey
Whenever you use a term of endearment like 'honey' towards me
But now the words you choose won't ever be enough
But now the words you say won't satisfy me anymore
'Cause what they mean will only hurt me
Because the implications of those words will only cause me pain
'Cause I don't wanna hear it this time
Because I don't want to hear those words again this time
I don't wanna feel it this time
I don't want to experience those feelings again this time
I don't wanna be your baby this time
I don't want to be your lover this time
I just wanna feel your heart on my side
I just want to feel your love and support
If I whisper words you haven't heard before
If I tell you things that you've never heard from me before
Would you read my lips and help them
Would you pay close attention and assist me in expressing myself
If I said that I'm a stranger to your world
If I told you that I'm unfamiliar with your life or experiences
Would you treat me like your best friend
Would you treat me with kindness and familiarity like you would treat a close friend
Could you ever show it this time
Can you demonstrate that same level of care and compassion towards me now
I really wanna know it this time
I genuinely want to find out the answer this time
If I said that I will re-invent myself
If I promised to change or transform myself
If I told you yesterday I was somebody else, well
If I told you that I was a different person yesterday
Would you listen to me
Would you pay attention to what I'm saying
Would you let me...
Would you give me a chance to change or show you who I am now

This song brings me back to the early 2000's. I was in my very early 20's. So young...How simple and chaotic is life in your early 20's? Theme songs in your life that bring you back to memories...music is a time-machine.

Can't believe how fast life is
@BryanHectic
Same. Oddly enough around the time you posted this was when i f'd with this song hard. 2008-2009 when I was in college, I'd be blasting this on my drive up to New Brunswick late at night to go to parties or shows.
@davidjbrookes
All time classic, takes me back to my early 20s. Where did the time go..?
@TheDaveyd29
