“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.
Million Years
Gareth Emery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You hide the night from me
As long as I can see the light in your eyes
There's nowhere I rather be
We walked all night through the shadows of light
And I can't reach your heart in my hands
Can't reach your heart in my hands
That was a lifetime ago before I knew how to go
Before I knew how to go
I go anywhere for you
I'll cross the sky for you
Wish I could fly to you
I live until the end
Till I see you again
I'm gonna remember you
For a million years
Always forever
I can feel you, you're here next to me
I'll keep you safe and sound
As long as you can hear the beat in my chest
I'll never let you down
We walked all night through the shadows of light
And I can't reach your heart in my hands
Can't reach your heart in my hands
I want to keep you safe forever that way
Before your heart had to go
Before you had to go
Before I knew how to go
I go anywhere for you
I'll cross the sky for you
Wish I could fly to you
I live until the end
Till I see you again
I'm gonna remember you
For a million years
Always forever
Always forever
The lyrics to Gareth Emery's song "Million Years" express the intense love and devotion one has for their significant other. The song depicts a lover who is willing to go to great lengths to keep their partner close and ensure their safety. The opening lines "I can see my way through the dark, You hide the night from me" suggest that the singer is lost without their lover but is comforted by their presence, even in the darkest moments. The singer's commitment to the relationship is evident in the line "I go anywhere for you, I'll cross the sky for you," promising to be there no matter what.
However, the song takes a poignant turn with the lyrics "You promised me that we would never grow old. That was a lifetime ago before I knew how to go," suggesting that the relationship may have once been idyllic, but now things have changed. Despite this, the singer affirms their eternal devotion to their loved one, proclaiming "I'm gonna remember you, for a million years. Always forever."
The song uses powerful imagery, such as walking through the "shadows of light," and the refrain of "Always forever" reinforces the idea of the singer's unwavering commitment to their loved one. The lyrics, combined with the upbeat and electronic nature of the music, create an emotional and powerful love song.
Line by Line Meaning
I can see my way through the dark
I am confident and know how to navigate difficult situations
You hide the night from me
You provide comfort and security in challenging moments
As long as I can see the light in your eyes
As long as I have your love and support, I am content and fulfilled
There's nowhere I rather be
Being with you is the only place I want to be
We walked all night through the shadows of light
We went on a journey together, facing both easy and tough times
And I can't reach your heart in my hands
I can't fully understand or control your emotions and feelings
You promised me that we would never grow old
You assured me that our love would never fade or diminish
That was a lifetime ago before I knew how to go
Things have changed since then and I have learned to move on
I go anywhere for you
I am willing to do anything to be with you or make you happy
I'll cross the sky for you
I would go to great lengths and distances to show my dedication and love for you
Wish I could fly to you
I wish I could be with you right now, physically and emotionally
I live until the end
I will keep going and living life to the fullest until the very end
Till I see you again
I look forward to being reunited with you, whether in this life or the next
I'm gonna remember you
You have left a lasting impression on me and I will always cherish our time together
For a million years
Our love and memories will last for an eternity
Always forever
Our connection and relationship will endure through all of life's challenges and changes
I can feel you, you're here next to me
Even when you're not physically present, I feel your love and support
I'll keep you safe and sound
I will protect and care for you, ensuring your well-being and happiness
As long as you can hear the beat in my chest
As long as I am alive and breathing, I will always love you and be there for you
I want to keep you safe forever that way
I wish to preserve this moment and our connection, never wanting to lose it
Before your heart had to go
Before we had to say goodbye or face any hardships and struggles
Before I knew how to go
Before I learned how to move on or cope with loss and change

"Million Years"
(feat. Asia Whiteacre)
I can't see my, see my way through the dark
You hide the night for me
As long as I can see the light in your eyes
There's nowhere I'd rather be
We walked all night through the shadows of light
And I carried your heart in my hands
Carried your heart in my hands
You promised me that we would never grow up
That was a lifetime ago
Before you had to go
Before you had to go
I'd go anywhere for you
I'd cross the sky for you
Wish I could fly to you
I will wait until the end
'Til I see you again
More than a million years
More than a million years
I can feel you, feel you here next to me
I'll keep you safe and sound
As long as you can hear the beat in my chest
I'll never let you down
We walked all night through the shadows of light
And I carried your heart in my hands
Carried your heart in my hands
I wanna keep you safe forever that way
Before your heart had to go
Before you had to go
Before you had to go
I'd go anywhere for you
I'd cross the sky for you
Wish I could fly to you
I will wait until the end
'Til I see you again
More than a million years
More than a million years
