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.
Not Enough
Gabriel & Dresden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's not the information I require
We're caught in fear, of all our bridges burning with desire
This moment It's all in here
Build me up and tear me down
make me one thousand pieces as you please
I'm strong enough
But no one ever noticed more than me
There's so much more that i could tell you
Don't ever question darkness, trust, or fear.
We analyse
And summarize
Erasing complications that appear
As I recline into the distance
And everything you say drifts out of time
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
Receding now
But free somehow
Fading in and out from time to time
(4x)No one ever noticed
Is something wrong?
There's no resistance
My senses only partially respond
There's nothing wrong
Don't need assistance
I find I am at ease where I belong
Reality strikes back at me
The greatest single thing there's never been
(4x)No one ever noticed
More than me
Reality stares back at me
The greatest single thing there's never been
The song "Not Enough" by Gabriel & Dresden feat. Jan Burton is about the frustration of having insufficient information to make an informed decision. The singer acknowledges that there is not enough information to go on and that they require more. They are caught in fear of all the bridges burning with desire, meaning they are scared of all the possibilities that might unfold. In this moment of contemplation and uncertainty, everything seems fleeting, and the singer feels like they are getting torn apart. However, they are strong enough and can handle the fire, but they feel like nobody notices them more than they do.
The second verse talks about how there is so much more that the singer could reveal, and they advise not to question darkness, trust or fear, which suggests that these are essential aspects of the unknown. When trying to analyze and make sense of things, complications tend to emerge, and the singer wants to avoid them. As they recline into the distance and everything drifts out of time, they fade in and out of reality. They find it challenging to process what is happening around them, and they are struggling to come to terms with it. The song ends with the realization that the "single greatest thing" never existed, and the singer is disappointed.
