The group's first album, the self-titled Dirty Vegas, contained a mix of electronic/club instrumentals and similar tracks with vocals by Steve Smith. This album was influenced by The Crystal Method and The Chemical Brothers, but with a slightly more laid-back approach. Songs like Throwing Shapes or The Brazilian would sound at home on an album by either of these two contemporaries.
Their second studio album, One, moved away from club music, and featured a style reminiscent of an adult contemporary album; none of the tracks went on to become hits. Some fans were put off by the drastic departure from their first album, while other fans welcomed the change.
The band reports that their third studio outting should strike a balance between the two, leaning toward the club style again.
Walk Into the Sun
Dirty Vegas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like I've come from outer space.
Had I known there's something missing,
When it's you I can't replace
As I walk into the Sun!
As I stare across this ocean!
As I start a brand-new day!
Look ahead there in the distance
Shadows coming through the haze.
You're the only one that listens
To help me break loose from these chains.
As I walk into the sun!
As I stare across this ocean!
As I start a brand-new day!
My live never be the same, again.
(the same again)
Aa-aa-aa-aa(singing)
And as I walk into the sun!
And as I stare across this ocean!
And as I start a brand-new day!
My live ever be the same again!
(repeat)
The lyrics to Dirty Vegas's song Walk Into the Sun talk about the feeling of being different and disconnected from oneself. The singer feels like he has come from outer space, implying that he no longer belongs to the world he once knew. He recognizes that something is missing in his life, and it is the person he cannot replace, probably a lost love. The lyrics then progress to talk about the hope of a new beginning, represented by the sun, the ocean, and a brand new day. The distance and shadows ahead of him symbolize the challenges that he will have to overcome to break free of the chains that hold him back.
The lyrics create a sense of escapism and a desire to start over, a common theme in electronic music. The song's upbeat melody and energetic beat enhance this feeling, making the listener feel like they are part of the singer's journey towards an unknown future. The song is not only about a personal journey but also about the universal need for change and renewal, making it relatable to anyone who listens to it.

Criminally underrated. I used to have this song in my set when I was a folk singer in the Waco boho scene a decade ago.

Damn, this song still inside my head.

I had the privilege of seeing Dirty Vegas live at Ruby Skye in San Francisco, and wow they didn't disappoint. Rare for an artist to have so many good tracks on their album, but Dirty Vegas pulled it off.
