Darius (a.k.a. Terence N'guyen) is a French producer from Paris. His preferred genres usually range between house and disco, though many have pinpointed his sound in the "French touch" category. His work has been likened to Cassius, Fred Falke, and Daft Punk. To date, he has released two EPs via his label, Roche Musique - the critically-praised 'Velour', released in 2012, and his 2014 follow-up, 'Romance'.
N'guyen is also a member of the nu-disco duo Cherokee, alongside Dorian Miche.

Darius Campbell Danesh (born 19 August 1980 in Glasgow, Scotland of Persian descendants, died 11 August 2022) was a songwriter, platinum recording artist and acclaimed West End stage actor, well-known from the British TV hit show Pop Idol, from which American Idol was born. His first, self-penned single, "Colourblind", entered the UK singles chart at number one, and his debut album went platinum under the guidance of Grammy-winning U2 producer Steve Lillywhite. Darius has had five UK Top Ten singles and he is managed by Simon Fuller. In 2006 he ended a second successful West End run in the musical Chicago playing Billy Flynn, and 2007 will see him star as Sky Masterson in the musical Guys and Dolls.
Darius' professional career began playing a ten-year-old Trojan boy in the Scottish Opera's avante garde 1990s production of The Trojans. As a teenager he then toured with the Scottish Opera in a critically acclaimed production of Carmen. After performing at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, Darius faced the first of many career cross-roads. He chose to return to his studies in lieu of training his rich baritone voice for an Operatic career.
While studying English Literature at Edinburgh University, a chance audition and promise of a record deal led Darius to fame on the television show Popstars. After reaching the final stages, Darius went on to audition for the show that was in a sense its successor, Pop Idol. He got through to the final rounds of Pop Idol, ultimately placing third. However, he turned down Simon Cowell's million pound offer to sing cover songs,[3] and instead sent a self-composed track to his favourite producer in the hope of creating something original. Grammy-winning U2 producer Steve Lillywhite signed him to a five-album deal. In the summer of 2002, "Colourblind" became Darius' first number one single and that Christmas, his self-penned album "Dive In" went platinum.
Over the next two years, Darius would go on to support Shakira in Paris on her World Tour; complete his own sell-out UK tour; become an Ambassador for the Prince's Trust; contribute to the War Child charity album[5] with Coldplay and Oasis; write a no. 6 Sunday Times Best Seller book, "Sink or Swim"; and headline in India with Alanis Morissette after his album went platinum there.
After receiving news that his father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, Darius wrote and dedicated his second studio album to Dr Booth Danesh, the man he calls his "hero". In 2005, the album's title track "Live Twice" became Darius' fifth Top Ten single. Amazingly, father Booth not only lived to see his son perform it at the Royal Albert Hall, but fought and beat his cancer into remission, echoing the song's lyrics.
During 2006 and 2007 he composed for his third album in Los Angeles.
Campbell Danesh was found unresponsive on 11 August 2022 in his apartment in Rochester, Minnesota, United States, and he was pronounced dead later that day. His family reported there were no suspicious circumstances or signs of intent surrounding his death.
Eight days after his death, his debut single "Colourblind" charted at number two on both the UK Official Singles Download and Sales charts.
A private funeral was held for Campbell Danesh on 25 August 2022 at a church in the Glasgow suburb of Bearsden, which was attended by family members and close friends.
An autopsy report, released on 10 September 2022, concluded that Campbell Danesh died from inhalation of chloroethane, which led to respiratory arrest. He used chloroethane in addition to physiotherapy to treat his neck pain. His death was ruled an accident. Campbell Danesh had suffered from chronic pain since a car accident in 2010 while on a holiday in Spain.

DARIUS is a German band formed in December 1989 in Germany, whose style is rooted in such bands as PINK FLOYD, SAGA and MARILLION among others.
The band was formed by: Marcus Arnrich / drums, Markus Getta / guitars, Tom Mueller / bass, Dirk Bovensiepen / vocals and Sven Martin / keyboards, and with this lineup they released their debut album "A Poet's Soliloquy" in 1994.
This first album is promising but it's evident that they required some practice because the sound is a bit amateur, with a clearly Fish-era MARILLION which is enhanced by the voice of Dirk Bobvenspen which is very similar to the tall Scottish vocalist.
In 1997, the band released their second album, "Voices from the Crowd", which represents a great evolution since their debut; pay special attention to the second half of the album that is dedicated to an Egyptian tale, since we are talking about a semi-conceptual album.
In 1999 the band released their last and only live album, "Somewhere Alive in the Crowd", which contains excellent material from their previous albums and a cover version of Kayleigh by MARILLION.

Darius Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leave it stuck in the door
Don't even try to explain
What you're leaving me for
Cause you won't cry
And you won't call
And you won't even miss me at all
But I will
(In the middle of the night, in the middle of the day)
Yeah I will
(Every second you're gone, once you go away)
I will love you still
Take those pictures of us
Pull 'em down off the shelf
Go wherever you want
Go, try to be somebody else
'Cause you won't stay
And you won't fight
And you won't wonder
Where I'm sleeping tonight
But I will
(In the middle of the night, in the middle of the day)
Yeah, I will
(Every second you're gone, once you go away)
You know I will love you still
I hope you never spend forever
Wondering if he ever
Wondering if he ever
Wondering if you ever loved me at all
(In the middle of the night, in the middle of the day)
Oh, I will
(Every second you're gone, once you go away)
You know I will love you still
Oh I know, I know that I will love you still
I will love you still
The lyrics of "I Will Love You Still" by Darius Rucker/Mallary Hope speak to the pain of a breakup and the despair that comes with being left behind by someone you love. The opening lines suggest that the singer's partner has left in the middle of the night, without much explanation. The metaphor of taking the key off the chain and leaving it stuck in the door represent the finality of the decision to leave. The singer acknowledges that their partner probably won't cry, call or even miss them, but the singer will love them still.
The chorus repeats the message of the song; that no matter how much time passes, the singer will continue to love their partner. It is clear that the singer is resigned to the fact that their partner is gone and that they won't fight to keep them there. Instead, they are left with nothing but memories represented by pictures of the two of them, which they suggest their partner should take down. The final lines, "I hope you never spend forever, wondering if you ever, wondering if you ever, wondering if you ever loved me at all" suggest that the singer is still hoping their ex still loves them, even though they have moved on.
Overall, "I Will Love You Still" is a poignant and emotional song about the pain of loss and the enduring power of love.

Love this scene...the one friend he was vulnerable in front of. Then that moment Darius tries to push back how he really feels about Nina...his friend gives him that look. He knew it was more than "we just kickin it". A friend knows more than what's spoken.
