“Boring DJs be very afraid: Gareth Emery is about to kick your arse”. So said Mixmag, when in 2002, they took the bold step of predicting that a virtually unknown 22 year-old would rise to become a major dance music star. However, six years later, it’s likely that even their expectations have been well surpassed. His current tour diary reads like the departure board at London’s Heathrow Airport. Desert island raves in Indonesia and snow-drenched mountains in Vancouver sit alongside major global events like San Francisco’s iconic Love Fest and Holland’s 30,000 strong Trance Energy. The likes of Asian superclub Zouk and Bondi Beach in Sydney complete the picture: in short, you’ll find Gareth at a mouth-watering, hand-picked selection of the planet’s coolest clubs and events, including UK super brands like Ministry of Sound and Gatecrasher.
When not on tour, he’s kept rakishly busy in his Cambridgeshire studio as one of the scene’s most in-demand producers and remixes. If you’re not familiar with anthems like ‘More Than Anything’, ‘Formentera What’ or his seminal classic ‘Mistral’, you’re probably a little out of touch with the modern dance scene, but suffice to say that Tiesto, Oakenfold, Ferry Corsten and Judge Jules are all big fans, and Paul van Dyk and Armin van Buuren liked his work so much that they both commissioned him to work on their respective labels (Vandit / Armind). However, the majority of his music is still released on his Five AM imprint, (described by DJ Mag as ‘the most consistent trance label in the world’), where he’s a co-owner and A&R. Whatever the label, one thing that’s clear is that Gareth Emery stamps his hallmark of quality on a record, people listen.
Always ahead of the game, Gareth was the one of the first leading DJs to embrace podcasting when he started his fortnightly radio show The Gareth Emery Podcast in early 2006. The show become an overnight success, immediately becoming an essential download for savvy dance music fans, and its widely imitated format has since helped to explode the popularity of dance music podcasts. It was also nominated for a Miami WMC IDMA Award for ‘Best Podcast’ along with Roger Sanchez and Pete Tong in 2007.
Although he always ranked well in the annual DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll, he became cynical about the amount of advertising and self-promotion that DJs put into it, and in 2013 asked fans not to vote for him.
Gareth haș worked with a number of collaborators and vocalists, including his sister Roxanne Emery.
Beautiful Rage
Gareth Emery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fading
Gonna fade out
Surrender searching
Making it count
Holding hoping
Never enough
One last moment
As the stars die out
We're burning and it's beautiful
Cause it all comes down
See the sky fall down
I'm dancing in the flames tonight
The fire heals the pain
As the stars die out
We're burning in a beautiful rage
We're falling
Fading
We're falling
Fading
As the stars die out
We're burning and it's beautiful
Cause it all comes down
See the sky fall down
We're dancing in the flames tonight
The fire heals the pain
As the stars die out
We're burning in a beautiful rage
In a beautiful rage
As the stars die out
We're burning and it's beautiful
Cause it all comes down
See the sky fall down
We're dancing in the flames tonight
The fire heals the pain
As the stars die out
We're burning in a beautiful rage
In a beautiful rage
The lyrics to Gareth Emery's song "Beautiful Rage" are about a sense of burning passion that still remains even when everything starts falling apart. The opening lines of "We're falling/Fading/Gonna fade out" suggest a sense of defeat or resignation, but as the song continues, it becomes clear that this is not the end for the singer. They are still holding hope and making every moment count. The repetition of "As the stars die out" gives a sense of finality, but the tone soon shifts to one of acceptance and even celebration. The line "We're burning in a beautiful rage" encapsulates this feeling, acknowledging that even destruction can have a certain beauty to it.
In this context, the idea of dancing in the flames takes on a symbolic significance. It represents the idea of finding joy or catharsis even in the midst of chaos or pain. The singer describes the fire as something that can heal the pain, suggesting that even when things are falling apart, there is still a sense of hope and a possibility for renewal.
Overall, "Beautiful Rage" is a song about the resilience of the human spirit, and how even in the midst of difficult times, we can find something beautiful to hold onto.
