For over 7 years he was the singer, bassist and songwriter of a band who rocked North Germany with a dark melodic grunge-rock sound. After moving to Berlin and being inspired by his influences Jan found his passion in electronic music. Making a tough decision to quit the band, he traded his guitar for an apc40 and 5x8Spur-Matrix and began producing and performing solo.
Today his sound can be described as a mixture of Radiohead, Muse, Bodi Bill, Stephan Bodzin and James Holden - a beautiful balancing act between melancholic, melodic electro-pop and euphoric minimal techno making Jan one of the most interesting and promising young artist in Berlin at the moment."

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna hold her, I wanna kiss her
She smelled of daisies, she smelled of daisies
She drive me crazy, she drive me crazy
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane.
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane.
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane.
Be my lover, my lady river.
Can I take ya, take ya higher?
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane.
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane.
Gonna take her for a ride on a big jet plane.

The lyrics of Jan Blomqvist's song "Big Jet Plane" tell a story about meeting a new love interest who leaves the singer enamored. The first verse sees the singer meeting the woman for the first time and immediately feeling attracted to her. Her smell, which is compared to that of daisies, drives the singer "crazy."
The chorus is a repetition of the singer's desire to take the woman on a big jet plane, possibly on a trip or holiday. He also asks if she wants to be his lover and if he can "take her higher," which could imply he wants to elevate her emotionally or romantically.
The repetition of the phrase "gonna take ya away from home" in the latter half of the song could suggest the singer wants to take the woman away from her current life and start a new one together, away from the distractions and problems of their previous existence.
Overall, the lyrics portray a sense of longing and desire for escape. The singer wants to take this woman away and start a new adventure with her, away from the mundane aspects of their everyday lives.

He will in no time have the entire arena of the biggest festivals and we won't get to see him as close!
All the other bands are irrelevant and beneath him...
