Prior to being a recording artist, he was a record store owner and a club DJ at a nightclub in Salt Lake City as a way to make ends meet for him and his wife. After he and his wife moved to San Francisco he landed a job as a A&R man at OM records, where in addition to reviewing demos for the label he also submitted his own material, which would pay off big time for him. In 2001 he went from behind the desk to behind the turntables and the recording studio as an artist in his own right. In 2003 Kaskade released his first album, "It's You It's Me", which was well received by critics.
It would be his follow up, "In The Moment" in 2004, that would put Kaskade on the map. The first single off the set "Steppin' Out" would become a major hit on the Dance Radio Airplay that year as well as a top 10 hit on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. His biggest breakthrough would come the week of May 14, 2005, when his follow up, "Everything," would go all the way to #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
Missing You
Kaskade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What else could I ever see but you?
Tell me your heart is the only answer
Tell me that you’re feeling this way too
Tell me the only one
That you’ve been missing
Is the one missing you
I never thought I’d run
But I made a mistake
So let me come back to you
I’ve seen your eyes in a million faces
What else could I ever see but you?
Tell me your heart is the only answer
Tell me that you’re feeling this way too
Tell me the only one
That you’ve been missing
Is the one missing you.
I never thought I’d run
But I made a mistake
So let me come back to you
(Tell me I'm not crazy) Tell me the only one
(For being in love) That you’ve been missing
(In love, in love)Is the one missing you.
(Tell me I'm not crazy) I never thought I’d run
(For being in love) But I made a mistake
(In love, in love) So let me come back to you
