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.
Pose
Kaskade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
End of summer
You came back
For fall semester
Pose for the camera
Posing in my mind
I see the picture
Left with the imprint
The memory to revive
It's clear as day
Clear as your shadow left behind
You were different
Like you'd grown up
Taught from dusk
Till after summer
Pose for the camera
Posing in my mind
I see the picture
I feel the shadow left behind
Left with the imprint
The memory to revive
It's clear as day
Clear as your shadow left behind
Pose for the camera
I see the picture
The lyrics to Kaskade's song "Pose" capture the feeling of nostalgia and longing for a past relationship. The song begins with "Sweet remembering," suggesting the singer is reflecting on a past memory. The lyrics then mention the end of summer and the person returning for the fall semester, indicating that this was likely a college relationship or a summer romance. The chorus repeats the line "Pose for the camera," emphasizing the image or moment frozen in time, and the singer's desire to hold onto it. The line, "Posing in my mind," further highlights the act of remembering and the mental image the singer is holding onto.
The second verse describes how the singer perceives the other person as having changed or grown up since the summer. The phrase "Taught from dusk till after summer" suggests the person has learned and evolved since the summer months, and the singer is struggling to reconcile the memory of their past self with the person they are now. The chorus repeats once again, emphasizing the singer's deep desire to hold onto this memory and the person they once knew.
Overall, "Pose" is a bittersweet song that reflects on a past relationship and the memories that remain. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing and the recognition that some parts of the past cannot be recaptured.
