1) Band from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.… Read Full Bio ↴Two artists share the name Gideon.
1) Band from Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Gideon, an aggressive metalcore band with an already impressive repertoire. Well-placed gang vocals and a powerful front man set Gideon apart from many of their peers, while the band as a whole, whose members have been playing together only since 2008, come off sounding like seasoned pros. Their Facedown debut “Costs” (engineered by Brian Hood) will be released on March 1, 2011
2) Anticlub and Lessismorecordings head honcho Gideon Hommes has no time to waste. He lives for music 24 hours a day. Producing, recording, spinning, selling and above all, loving music is what keeps him busy. There is no past, only future and Gideon is setting the standard higher and higher with his ever-evolving productions.
In a few years he built up an impressive discography with over a 100 released tracks under his different alter egos Gideon, The Economist and G. Early 2008 he released some tracks on big international record labels such as Kanzleramt (Berlin) and Sino (Hong Kong) followed by a complete artist album on both labels. On Kanzleramt he released his “Need No Permission” album in October 2008. Now 2009 he is the driving force within a Dutch label collective called Homedistribution, under his new company he manages 14 labels.
His debut and conceptual album NoNameNoFaceNoNumber was already released on his own label Lessismorecordings in 2007, where he showed a new approach to dubby techno and sequential composition. Running Lessismorecordings and labels like Grayarea, Anticlub and Minimalplus is one of his favourite occupations.
Gideon Alexis Tyrel Hommes was born in 1980 in the city of technology where Philips made the first steps in electronic music composition. In 1990 Gideon had his first contact with underground electronic music and has been hooked ever since. Spinning records and producing have been keeping him busy for more than a decade. So we can easily say that, he is not only an innovative and a differentiating producer of electronic music who runs his own label, he is also an experienced and very skilled DJ. In other words he is the full package of a modern artist.
The DJ sets he plays under his own name Gideon are techno oriented and memorable for playing the new unreleased material and things to come from the several labels he runs and supports. He combines the expected with the unexpected, monotone grooves with melodic revelations, rawness with sophistication and modern minimalism with old school renaissance. Contradiction? He does not think so. Gideon gives you a new vision on the full techno spectrum; he incorporates his love for the old days with his vision on the things to come.
He already played impressive venues like: Bergain/Ostgut (Berlin), Tresor (Berlin), Flex (Vianna), Arm17 (Moscow), One (Mardid), Awakenings Festival (Holland), Extrema Outdoor Festival (Holland) and more

Dreams
Gideon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am sick from the poison I've been fed
Go ahead judge my ways
You don’t know right from wrong
I will over power this doubt
That you’ve lodged into my soul
When everyone
Tells me to be someone else
Save your words
They fall on deaf ears
Save your words
For the weak
Go ahead and keep pouring this doubt
Into my mind Into my soul
Your words are nothing more
Than the dreams you’ve left unfollowed
Judge my ways
I am sick
I am weak
Save your words
They fall on deaf ears
Save your words
For the weak
The lyrics of the song “Dreams” by Gideon depict a person who is weighed down and poisoned by life’s experiences. The singer sees the world as full of people who judge and criticize others without knowing them, and who try to make everyone conform to a certain standard. Despite everything, the singer asserts that they will remain true to themselves, refusing to let doubt and the opinions of others shape their identity. The chorus repeats the line “Save your words for the weak,” suggesting that the singer sees these criticisms as a sign of weakness. The final lines of the song turn the tables on the critics, insisting that their own harsh words come from the bitterness of unfulfilled dreams.
The tone of the song is one of defiance in the face of adversity. The lyrics are deeply personal and speak to the human experience in a way that is relatable to anyone who has ever felt judged or doubted. Gideon’s use of repetition drives home the message of the song, emphasizing the singer’s refusal to conform and the stubbornness with which they hold to their convictions. The use of metaphor in the line “Your words are nothing more than the dreams you’ve left unfollowed” is particularly effective, highlighting the idea that our words often reveal more about our own unfulfilled desires than the people we are criticizing.
Overall, “Dreams” is a powerful song that speaks to the struggles we all face in trying to make sense of the world and find our place in it. It is a call to be true to ourselves and not be swayed by the opinions and beliefs of others.
