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.

Only You
Darius Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mesmerized and I can't escape
And I just can't breathe when you're not with me
I wish you could see the things I've seen
But I can't control the way it goes
And I pray one day you'll know
Only you can see me when I cry
Only you can hold me like a child
Only you can make me miss brown eyes
Only you can love me like you do
Sunset will never feel the same
Regret is pouring like the rain
If I could hit the road and find you
Could you forget the things you know?
How can I breathe when I can't hold you?
How can I ever let you go?
Only you can see me when I cry
Only you can make me miss brown eyes, your eyes
Only you can leave my heart so bruised
Only you can change the life I choose
Only you can love me like you do
And I need you now to save me
Teach me, forgive me now
'Cause only you can reach me, heal me
I'm holding out for you, I'm lost without you
Only you can see me when I cry
Only you can hold me like a child
Only you can make me miss brown eyes, your eyes, yeah
Only you can leave my heart so bruised
Only you can change the life I choose
Only you can love me like you do
So help me, so save me, reach me, feel me
So hold me like a child
Only you can make me miss brown eyes
Only you can love me like you do
I'm coming back to you
The song "Only You" by Darius is a heartfelt expression of love and longing for a special someone. The lyrics describe the emotional turmoil that the singer is going through, as they struggle to come to grips with the fact that they can't live without their partner. The first verse sets the scene for the intense feelings that are to follow, as the singer declares that sunrise will never feel the same without them. The second line hints at the fact that they are mesmerized when they are with their partner and can't break free. The chorus drives home the point that only the partner can comfort them when they cry, hold them like a child, and make them miss their brown eyes.
The second verse continues with the theme of regret and illustrates the pain of being apart from their loved one. The singer can't breathe when they're not with their partner and wishes that they could hold them. The second half of the verse poses a thought-provoking question: If the singer were to hit the road and find their partner, would they forget the things they know? The bridge is a plea for the partner to help the singer heal, reach them, forgive them, and hold them like a child. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer coming back to their partner.
