When Garrett was four years old, his father bought a violin for his older brother. The young David took an interest and soon learned to play. A year later, he took part in a competition and won first prize. By the age of seven, he was playing once a week in public. He studied violin at the Lubeck Conservatoire. At the age of 12, he began working with the distinguished Polish violinist Ida Haendel, often travelling to London and the other European cities to meet her. At the age of 13, he recorded two CDs, appeared on German and Dutch television, and gave a concert in the residence of the Federal Republic of Germany President, the Villa Hammerschmidt, at Dr. von Weizsäcker’s personal invitation. He was offered the use of the famous Stradivarius "San Lorenzo", which is among the best instruments of the "golden period". At the age of 14, as the youngest soloist ever, he signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft. At the age of 17, he played with the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Zubin Mehta in Delhi and Bombay in concerts marking the 50th anniversary of India’s Independence. At the age of 19, he played with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchster in Berlin, under the direction of Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, and was hailed by critics. This led to an invitation to perform at Expo 2000 in Hannover. He continued his studies at the Royal College of Music in London. At the age of 21, he was invited to perform at the BBC Proms. He graduated from the Juilliard School in 2004.
While studying at the Juilliard School in New York City, as one of the first students to study with Itzhak Perlman, Garrett supplemented his income by working as a model. Some fashion writers have described him as "the David Beckham of the classical scene".
In December 2007, Garrett fell after a performance at Barbican Hall in London, and smashed his rare violin, initially reported as a Stradivarius, but later corrected to having been made by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini. Garrett had purchased the instrument four years earlier for USD 1 million.[3] It was estimated that it would cost $120,000 to repair.[4]

How Many Times
David Garrett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To see that you're bleeding, you're wounded
How many times do you put me through this?
Over and over and over and over again
How many times do you wanna do this?
That you're seeing that you're bleeding you're wounded
How many times do you put me through this?
Cross roads
Have to cross roads
Have to cross roads
Oh
cross roads
Have to cross roads
Have to cross roads
Oh
We only wanted to live they say
We only wanted to live they say
We only wanted to live they say
We only wanted to live they say
We had nothing getting given away
We had nothing getting given away
We only wanted to live
Only wanted to live
Over and over and over
Over and over and over
Over and over and over and over again yeah
Over and over and over
Over and over and over
Over and over and over and over again yeah
Over and over and over
Over and over and over
Over and over and over and over again yeah
Over and over and over
Over and over and over
Over and over and over and over again yeah
The lyrics to David Garrett's song "How Many Times" primarily focus on the repeated pain and suffering caused by a toxic relationship. The lines "How many times do you wanna do this? To see that you're bleeding, you're wounded" suggest that the singer's partner has caused physical harm to them, yet they continue to return and inflict more pain. The repeated questions "How many times do you put me through this? Over and over and over and over again" highlight the cyclical nature of this pattern of abuse.
The section "We only wanted to live they say" appears to contrast with the earlier lyrics about pain and suffering. It could be interpreted that the relationship began with good intentions but, over time, the emotional and physical pain has accumulated until it overwhelms any positives. The lines "We had nothing getting given away" might suggest that the singer felt they had nothing to lose in the relationship, or that they were not receiving any affection or support from their partner.
The chorus repeats the line "Over and over and over and over again" which emphasizes the endless repetition of the negative cycle. The repeated use of the phrase "cross roads" could indicate that the singer is at a turning point in their relationship – they must make a decision about whether to stay or leave. There is a sense of frustration and desperation in the repetition of this phrase, as if the singer feels trapped and unable to escape the pattern of abuse.

It's been 4 years since i loved David Garrett. I thought i was the only one in Greece that i discovered this genious.
But after some days i found many fans from my country. So, i always think WHY Greece haven't invited him yet for some DAMN concert....Is the fault of our Greek promoters OR his Management that they need more selling in his CD's in the greek market??
I guess we will never know....
