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.
Sometimes
Kaskade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through the storms and ugly weather
Sometimes you will be the one
Who needs to hold it together
Sometimes you won't find the words
Sometimes you won't understand
Sometimes it will be enough
To simply hold a hand
Sometime you get away
This time is true
Sometimes you can run away
As long as you are running to me
Sometimes you will hide the pain
But your eyes, they tell the story
Sometimes you will be afraid
But you've got me hear beside you
I will always be a friend
I will always be with you
Kaskade's "Sometimes" is a comforting and reassuring song revealing the importance of having someone to rely on through the ups and downs of life. The lyrics present the idea that sometimes one might try to hide away from the storms and troubling times, but the truth is that we all have moments where we need to hold it together. In these moments it can be difficult to find the words or understand what is happening, but sometimes it is enough to simply hold somebody's hand.
The song speaks to the importance of having a friend or confidant who won't judge us, but will be there to help us through the toughest times because nobody can face the storms of life alone. Rather than running away and hiding our pain, we should feel comfortable enough to seek help, allowing someone to truly see us for who we are. Essentially the song serves as a reminder that even though life can be a tumultuous and uncertain journey, we always have someone by our side, whether we realize it or not.

It's EDM like this I miss.. I miss this Kaskade. I'll never stop listening to Love Mysterious or Strobelight Seduction. Classics.
