He soon expanded into clubhouse and trance music. But don't put Ferry into the trance corner, because his sound encompasses several genres of electronic music.

In 1999 Ferry Corsten was voted Best Producer of the Year at the Ericsson Muzik Award in London. In 2000, he was awarded Best Remix for Adagio for Strings (Ferry Corsten Remix) at the Dancestar 2000 awards.

He has worked with many other famous DJs, such as DJ Tiesto, Benny Benassi, and Vincent de Moor.

In 1997 he established the famous Tsunami dance label together with Robert Smit & the German dance company Purple Eye Entertainment. He left Tsunami and Purple Eye in 2005.

In 2005 Ferry started his own company named Flashover Recordings.
The first record on Flashover was Who's Knockin'? with a Flashover remix. The single Fire was the next record. This would be the second album released under Flashover.

Since his first solo album, Ferry has continued to evolve his style. He started with the concept name L.E.F. which stands for "Loud. Electronic. Ferocious." and has organized events under this name. Ferry released his second solo album aptly named L.E.F.

Ferry has also participated in compiling and mixing the Trance Nation series with Ministry of Sound which has sold millions of copies worldwide. Trance Nation 2002 was the latest Trance Nation compilation from Ferry.

Next to Trance Nation, he compiled many other mixed CDs such as Creamfields, Tsunami One, Dance Valley 2001, Passport: Kingdom of the Netherlands, Mixed Live: Spundae @ Circus Los Angeles, Live at Innercity, World Tour Tokyo and Washington, and many others.

He has been known to use a lot of other aliases including: 4x4, A Jolly Good Fellow, Albion, Bypass, Cyber F, Dance Therapy, Delaquente, Digital Control, East West, Eon, Exiter, Ferr, Firmly Undaground, Free Inside, Funk Einsatz, Kinky Toys, Lunalife, Moonman, Party Cruiser, Pulp Victim, Raya Shaku, Sidewinder, System F, The Nutter and Zenithal.

In addition to these releases, Ferry has also worked with other DJs on several projects. Together with Tijs Verwest (DJ Tiësto), he set up Gouryella and Vimana. Ferry has also teamed up with Vincent de Moor on the one-time alias project Veracocha. In addition, Ferry has worked with Benny Benassi to produce the one-time alias FB/FB feat. Edun, which stands for the first letter of each of their first names, Ferry and Benny, and also features Edun, Russian/Nigerian gospel and electronic vocal singer.

Other groups that he has been in include: Alter Native, Blade Racer, Discodroids, Double Dutch, Elektrika, Energiya, Fernick, Mind To Mind, Nixieland, Penetrator, Project Aurora, Riptide, Roef, S.O.A., Scum, Selected Worx, Sons of Aliens, Soundcheck, Spirit of Adventure, Starparty, and The Tellurians.

Moreover, his track Ferry Corsten & Ramin Djawadi - Prison Break Theme (Ferry Corsten Breakout Mix) is now famous worldwide due to the success of the Prison Break television series.

Because
Ferry Corsten Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Because the rain fell in I start to slide
It’s just a little rain child
I can’t walk out and not hear a sound of you running wild
It’s just a little rain child
I got to make it sound I thought i’d let you know
All I do is make you promise something I won’t know

Oh no no

Oh is this the part of you that feeds the inside
But even if it feels right
I can’t walk out and not hear the sound of you running wild
It’s just a little rain child
I got to make it sound I thought i’d let you know
All I do is make you promise something I won’t know
Love I got to make it sound I thought i’d let you know

Oh no no
Oh no no
Oh no no

Oh no no
Oh no no
Oh no no

Oh no no
Oh no no
Oh no no

I got to make it sound I thought i’d let you know
But all I do is make you promise something I won’t know
Love I got to make it sound I thought i’d let you know
I thought i’d let you know, I thought i’d let you know

Because the rain fell in I start to slide

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ferry Corsten's "Because (The Remix)" featuring Novastar have multiple meanings that allude to the unpredictability of love and the uncertainty that comes with it. The repeated refrain of "It's just a little rain, child" could be seen as a metaphor for the ups and downs of relationships - just like rain is a natural and temporary occurrence, so are the difficulties that come with a romantic partnership. The singer of the song is struggling to grapple with these complexities, struggling to "make it sound," or articulate their feelings in a clear and honest way.

The line "All I do is make you promise something I won't know" speaks to the fear of unfulfilled expectations and the disappointment that comes from not being able to fully trust the person you love. The repeated "oh no no" in the background of the song adds to this sense of anxiety and uncertainty, as the singer realizes that their relationship may be slipping away from them despite their best intentions.

Overall, "Because (The Remix)" presents a heartfelt and emotional take on the struggles that come with navigating love and relationships. The song's lyrics are open-ended and filled with potential interpretations, allowing the listener to bring their own experiences and stories to the table.

Line by Line Meaning

Because the rain fell in I start to slide
I feel like I'm losing control because of the obstacles in my path, represented by the rain

It’s just a little rain child
It's only a small challenge, don't worry too much

I can’t walk out and not hear a sound of you running wild
I can't ignore the excitement and energy you bring into my life

I got to make it sound I thought i’d let you know
I need to communicate my feelings and intentions clearly

All I do is make you promise something I won’t know
I may be making promises that I can't keep or fully understand

Oh is this the part of you that feeds the inside
This is the part of you that makes you feel fulfilled and alive

But even if it feels right
Even if something feels good, it may not be the best for us

Love I got to make it sound I thought i’d let you know
I want to express my love and feelings to you in a clear and honest way

Oh no no
Expressing disapproval or disagreement

I thought i’d let you know, I thought i’d let you know
Repeating the importance of communication and honesty
