He currently works for the BBC 6 Music. He formerly presented the long-running Dance Anthems show on BBC Radio 1, which was for most of its time aired on early Sunday evenings before moving to late Friday nights in its final year. His last show on BBC Radio 1 was broadcast on Friday 26 September 2008. He has brought several sayings into the world of dance including "putting on your trance trousers" when he plays a trance record, "roll another fat one" meaning to play another great record. He is also known for his cry of "Oi Oi!" from the DJ booth. Pearce now broadcasts Dance Anthems on BBC 6 Music.

Pearce joined BBC Radio 1 in April 1995, taking over the weekday early-breakfast show from Bruno Brookes. He took over the weekend mid-morning slot in October the same year. February 1997 saw Pearce taking over weekend breakfast and on October 13 the same year, he went on to present the drivetime show from Kevin Greening, who had taken over Breakfast, alongside Zoe Ball. In addition to drivetime, Pearce took over the Dance Anthems show on Sunday evenings. In October 1998 Chris Moyles took over the drivetime show and Pearce began presenting a Monday - Thursday evening show from 6-8pm entitled The Late Drive. This show was axed in 2004.

Dave Celebrated 10 years of dance anthems in August 2007. The 5 hour special Dance Anthems show included input from Pete Tong, Judge Jules and a phone in from Tiesto.

His first show on 6 Music was broadcast on Sunday 5 October 2008 from 8pm to 10pm, playing dance music from the last 30 years. Noel Gallagher was the first celebrity guest to pick his favourite dance anthem, which was "Strings of Life" by Rhythim is Rhythim. Pearce has also presented occasional shows on BBC Radio 2.

In late 2008 Dave Pearce launched a weekly podcast - Trancecast - which focuses on his interest in trance. It features upfront tracks as well as a weekly guest mix.

Your Loving Arms
Dave Pearce Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So many times have I asked you to tell me that I'm your girl.
'Cause time after time I have needed a reason just to get inside your world.
So many times have I asked you to ask me how it feels to love.
And when this love seems the only conclusion that I'm guilty of, oh, baby, then
you put your lovin' arms around me and it feels like shelter.
And you put your lovin' arms around me and inside your arms I'm burning.
Put your lovin' arms around me.
And you whisper to me when you put your lovin' arms around me.

And inside this love I'm yearning.

Sometimes the way that you act makes me wonder what I am to you.
And sometimes I can't stand the way that I'm acting
to be part of the things you do.
Often I've asked you for too much of your time; I'm stealing.
And when I dream of the fear that you're leaving, then I reach out.
My baby , then you put your lovin' arms around me and it feels like shelter.
And you put your lovin' arms around me and inside your arms I'm burning.
Put your lovin' arms around me.
And you whisper to me when you put your lovin' arms around me.
And inside this love I'm yearning.

Put your lovin arms around me and it feels like shelter.
And you put your lovin' arms around me and inside your arms I'm burning.
Put your lovin' arms around me.
And you whisper to me when you put your lovin' arms around me.

And inside this love I'm yearning, yearning, yearning.
Inside this love I'm burning, burning, burning.
Inside this love I'm yearning, yearning, yearning.
Inside this love I'm burning, burning, burning.
Inside this love I'm yearning, yearning, yearning.
Inside this love I'm burning, burning, burning.

Inside this love I'm yearning, yearning, yearning.
Inside this love I'm burning, burning, burning.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dave Pearce's song "Your Loving Arms" speak of a deep desire for love and affection from the singer's significant other. The singer expresses her need for reassurance and affirmation that she is loved, as she has asked her partner multiple times to tell her that she is his girl. The lack of validation from her partner causes the singer to question what she means to him and what her role is in their relationship. The singer suggests that she may be asking for too much of her partner's time and feels guilty about it.

However, whenever her partner puts his loving arms around her, it feels like a shelter to her. The embrace of her partner's arms provides her with the warmth, love, and security she craves. In his arms, the singer feels safe and cherished, and her yearning and burning desires are quenched. The singer feels a deep desire for her partner's loving arms as they offer her peace and comfort that she cannot find anywhere else.

Overall, the song speaks of a deep longing for reassurance and love, and how an embrace in "loving arms" can quell the yearning and burning desires of the heart.
