In 2001, Josh and Dave joined forces under the now legendary Gabriel & Dresden moniker. Within their 6 years of collaboration, Gabriel & Dresden scored 19 number 1 Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play remixes and tracks, made three DJ-mixed compilation albums, an artist album and won seven International Dance Music Awards. Their tracks 'Arcadia', 'Dangerous Power', 'Let Go', 'Tracking Treasure Down' Andain "Beautiful Things" and numerous other masterpieces have turned into some of EDM’s biggest classics. 'As The Rush Comes', by their Motorcycle alias with Jes Brieden, they won the IDMA award for 'Best Progressive Trance Track' as well as peaking at #11 on the official UK top40 charts. The G&D treatment, through remixes and interpretations, was given to tracks by The Killers, Annie Lenox, Sarah McLachlan, Dido, Tiësto, Paul Oakenfold and Way Out West, making their sound cross borders from trance and progressive with pop, indie and soul sensibilities.
In 2008 After 6+ years of hits and and awards, both guys felt it was time for something new and took a break from Gabriel & Dresden to focus on their individual careers. Inspiration came flowing with the new tide. After the split, Josh Gabriel set up his own label, 'Different Pieces' and focused on his Winter Kills and Andain projects. On his album 'Eight', Josh intertwined techno and house into pieces of pure electronic bliss. In the meantime, Dave Dresden took charge of the dancefloor with his Dresden & Johnston project and spawned a US radio hit in the song 'Keep Faith' and "That Day" (with Nadia Ali on lead vocals), as well as remixes for the likes of Owl City, Nadia Ali, BT and The Crystal Method. But you simply can't stop musical synergy.
As 2010 came to an end, Gabriel and Dresden decided to go back to their roots and reunite at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles for New Year’s Eve 2011. Their return behind the decks showed that after two and a half years apart, nothing really changed. Gabriel & Dresden's comeback marks one of the most notable moments in EDM this year, finally answering the call of millions of dance lovers. With gigs at some of the world's biggest festivals, clubs and events planned and a new compilation in the making, Gabriel & Dresden are all set to do what they love most: celebrate music. And we're all invited.

Gabriel & Dresden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I’m doomed when the love songs on the radio ring true,
I always lose, each game I play to try and forget you,
Maybe cause you’re on the screen and in shiny magazines,
You always get through,
Don’t be so cruel, just tell me what I need to do,
Cause I’d do anything to be your man,
With all you’re telling me,
There must be something I don’t understand,
That you’re not telling me,
We’ll just keep cruising on a Summer Set track,
We’ll have it good you know you’ll never come back,
Cause I’d do anything to be your man,
With all you’re telling me,
We’re cruising through,
All the white lines on the road pass under you,
If I could choose, I’d fit the way that denim suits you,
Turn into a summer breeze so you never wanna leave,
Always get through,
Don’t be so cruel, just tell me what I need to do,
Cause I’d do anything to be your man,
With all you’re telling me,
There must be something I don’t understand,
That you’re not telling me,
We’ll just keep cruising on a Summer Set track,
We’ll have it good you know you’ll never come back,
Cause I’d do anything to be your man,
With all you’re telling me,

I'm in too deep to turn around
I have invested so much into this relationship that I can't just walk away
All I want is your sweet loving
I desire your affection and love
But when you move away from me
When you distance yourself from me
I feel just like I am drowning
I feel like I am suffocating and struggling to stay afloat
And I know the sweetness is right before our eyes
I can see the potential for a loving relationship
I would do anything to be with you
I am willing to make sacrifices to be with you
Make it through to understanding
Work towards better communication and comprehension
Anywhere you want me to
I am willing to go to any place to make our relationship work
Talk to me, I know we'll make it through
Communicating will help us overcome any difficulties or disagreements
I'm trying not to be so scared
I am attempting to overcome my fears
Sometimes I don't know if you want me
There are times that I feel uncertain about your feelings towards me
When all I need is tenderness
My emotional needs are simply for tenderness and affection
Show me how to love somebody
Teach me how to love and have a successful relationship
And who knows what forever brings
The future is unknown and unpredictable
But I am ready for real love
I am prepared and eager for a true and genuine love
