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.

On My Mind
Ferry Corsten Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Today is on my mind.
We will collide
Today is on my mind.
I take my time

Come across and feel.
Just feel
Today is on my mind.

It's on my mind

And I know that I'm alone
And I know where I belong

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Ferry Corsten's song 'On My Mind' speak of a person's obsession with a particular day. The phrase 'Today is on my mind' is repeated twice for emphasis, suggesting that this day that the person is fixated on is all-consuming. The next line, 'We will collide' brings a sense of tension to the lyrics, perhaps indicating that the person is anxious about what is going to happen on this particular day. The line 'I take my time' can be interpreted in a few different ways. On one hand, it could mean that the person is trying to slow down time in order to savor this special day. On the other hand, it could suggest that the person is procrastinating or delaying taking action until later in the day.

The refrain 'Come across and feel. Just feel' is a call to action, urging the listener to be more present in the moment and to embrace their emotions. The phrase 'It's on my mind' returns, indicating that no matter what the person does, they cannot shake the thoughts and feelings associated with this day. The final two lines, 'And I know that I'm alone/ And I know where I belong' bring a sense of resolution to the song. The person may be feeling isolated or disconnected, but they also have a strong sense of their own identity and purpose.
