(Another M.I.K.E., known as Mike, is an Indonesian Singer who won the finals of Indonesian Idol. His songs are tagged on this page.)
Although mostly known for his productions under the aliases M.I.K.E., Push and Plastic Boy, Mike has released hundreds of records under more than eighty aliases and collaborations since 1992 in a wide variety of styles ranging from rave, techno, progressive house, trance, electro to even R&B, from accessible commercial anthems to minimalist underground sounds. He also produced tracks for Yves DeRuyter, Marco Bailey,Armin Van Buuren, Ian Van Dahl and Diabokua.
At the age of 18, Mike handed his first demo tape to the Antwerp record company USA Import Music and released his first record as Vision Act. In 1996 he signed with Lightning Records (the parent company of Bonzai Records) where he worked with most of its artists and achieved his major commercial breakthrough in 1998 with the trance anthem "Universal Nation" under his Push guise, one of the best selling dance vinyls of all time which even ended up in mainstream singles charts all over the world. This was followed up by two more chart hits, "Strange World" and "The Legacy".
As the list continued, creating such hits brought on major appeal by huge names like Moby, Ferry Corsten, Armin van Buuren, Gareth Emery and so much more - which of whom M.I.K.E produced impressive collaborations and remixes for.
As time passed and M.I.K.E.'s name spread, popular demand began to expand rapidly worldwide! From the UK, to cities all around Europe & straight across the Atlantic & into North America and down Latin America, Asia and Australia - Ministry of Sound, DanceValley, Tomorrowland, Trance Energy, Winter Music Conference - were some of the prestigious venues that till this day M.I.K.E. is noticed for as a top leading performer/DJ.
And we wonder, where does he find the time to make so many hit releases? Through the wave of fans, the touring, atmosphere and passion for music are what tell the stories behind each of his exceptional tracks labeled under monikers Push, Plastic boy, to his most widely used name - M.I.K.E.
And now teaming up with labels such as Sirup Music, High Contrast Records, Garuda Music, and Armada Music, he continues introducing fresh new sounds with edge & a twist of progressive and club house for a totally modish blend. You can grab a taste on his weekly radio show 'Club Elite Sessions', also heard on various stations worldwide including SiriusXM and Digitally Imported Radio .

reason to believe
M.I.K.E. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Although I don't know what it is
All of this time without talking
Makes me doubt that it exists
You say that everything is fine
Until there's something on the line
The sense of "we" is dying
But you just keep on trying
There's no more reason to believe
I remember when there was a something
You liked the little thing we shared
We pretended for a little while
Soon I couldn't tell you cared
You say that everything is fine
Until there's something on the line
The sense of "we" is dying
But you just keep on trying
You watch it waste away to nothing
There's no more reason to believe
You think you're holding on to something
You don't know how lost you are
You're really holding tight to nothing
I just can't take this anymore
You say that everything is fine
Until there's something on the line
The sense of "we" is dying
But you just keep on trying
You watch it waste away to nothing
There's no more reason to believe
I have nothing left to give
You just go ahead and live
Away from me
The lyrics of M.I.K.E.'s song "Reason to Believe" tell the story of a relationship that has lost its meaning and connection. The first verse sets the stage by showing the confusion and doubt that one partner feels, while the other tries to hold on to something that may no longer exist. The chorus, "You watch it waste away to nothing, there's no more reason to believe," presents the sad reality of the relationship's demise. The second verse reminisces about the past, when there was something special shared between the partners. However, one of them stopped caring, and the relationship began to wither away.
The last verse is the climax of the song, with the partner who has been holding on to something that no longer exists being told that they are "really holding tight to nothing." The singer can no longer take it and decides they have nothing left to give. Finally, they resolve to live life apart from their partner.
Overall, "Reason to Believe" is a poignant and honest reflection on a love that died.
Line by Line Meaning
You claim the two of us have something
You tell me that there exists a bond between us
Although I don't know what it is
But I am not sure about what it exactly is
All of this time without talking
We haven't talked in a while
Makes me doubt that it exists
Which makes me doubt its presence
You say that everything is fine
You say everything is normal
Until there's something on the line
Until there is something at stake
The sense of "we" is dying
The feeling of connection between us is fading
But you just keep on trying
But you keep holding onto it
You watch it waste away to nothing
You see it gradually disappear
There's no more reason to believe
There is no more reason to hold onto it
I remember when there was a something
I recall a time when we shared something important
You liked the little thing we shared
You enjoyed the small bond that we had
We pretended for a little while
We acted as if things were still the same for a short time
Soon I couldn't tell you cared
But soon it was clear that you didn't care as much
You think you're holding on to something
You believe that there is still something to hold onto
You don't know how lost you are
You are not aware of how uncertain things have become
You're really holding tight to nothing
You are holding onto something that is almost non-existent
I just can't take this anymore
I cannot bear this anymore
I have nothing left to give
I have no more to offer
You just go ahead and live
You can go ahead and lead your own life
Away from me
Without me by your side

Lyrics:তবুও, আমি বিশ্বাস করার একটি কারণ খুঁজছি...💋💕💕
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied
Straight-faced while I cried
Still, I look to find a reason to believe
Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give
Never think about myself
If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way just to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied
Straight-faced while I cried
Still, I look to find a reason to believe
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied
Straight-faced while I cried
Still, I look to find a reason to believe-III
Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give
Never think about myself
Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give
Never think about myself
Whoo
Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give
Never think about myself
Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
গানের কথা:
আমি যদি আপনার কথা অনেকক্ষণ শুনতাম
আমি বিশ্বাস করার একটি উপায় খুঁজে বের করব যে এটি সব সত্য
জেনেও তুমি মিথ্যা বলেছ
আমি কাঁদতে কাঁদতে সোজা মুখে
তবুও, আমি বিশ্বাস করার একটি কারণ খুঁজছি
কেউ তোমাকে পছন্দ করে
ছাড়া বাঁচা কঠিন করে তোলে
অন্য কেউ
কেউ তোমাকে পছন্দ করে
দেওয়া সহজ করে তোলে
নিজেকে নিয়ে কখনো ভাবি না
আমি যদি তোমাকে সময় দিয়েছিলাম আমার মন পরিবর্তন করতে
আমি অতীতকে পিছনে ফেলে যাওয়ার একটি উপায় খুঁজে বের করব
জেনেও তুমি মিথ্যা বলেছ
আমি কাঁদতে কাঁদতে সোজা মুখে
তবুও, আমি বিশ্বাস করার একটি কারণ খুঁজছি
আমি যদি আপনার কথা অনেকক্ষণ শুনতাম
আমি বিশ্বাস করার একটি উপায় খুঁজে বের করব যে এটি সব সত্য
জেনেও তুমি মিথ্যা বলেছ
আমি কাঁদতে কাঁদতে সোজা মুখে
তবুও, আমি বিশ্বাস করার একটি কারণ খুঁজছি-III
কেউ তোমাকে পছন্দ করে
ছাড়া বাঁচা কঠিন করে তোলে
অন্য কেউ
কেউ তোমাকে পছন্দ করে
দেওয়া সহজ করে তোলে
নিজেকে নিয়ে কখনো ভাবি না
কেউ তোমাকে পছন্দ করে
ছাড়া বাঁচা কঠিন করে তোলে
অন্য কেউ
কেউ তোমাকে পছন্দ করে
দেওয়া সহজ করে তোলে
নিজেকে নিয়ে কখনো ভাবি না
হু
কেউ তোমাকে পছন্দ করে
ছাড়া বাঁচা কঠিন করে তোলে
অন্য কেউ
কেউ তোমাকে পছন্দ করে
দেওয়া সহজ করে তোলে
নিজেকে নিয়ে কখনো ভাবি না
কেউ তোমাকে পছন্দ করে
ছাড়া বাঁচা কঠিন করে তোলে
অন্য কেউ

Mike, this is exceptional. Believe it or not, the first version I ever heard of this great song (when I was thirteen or thereabouts) was by Glen Campbell. You've done a great job on it here!
Shelagh Franke
With a beautiful voice like this I can't imagine anyone ever hurting you.....This is just pure, heavenly talent, your gift to all who have the good fortune to learn that you and your voice and music exist and then enjoy, laugh and cry, and respect you. Paul Simon and John Denver have this affect on us and YOU. Your up there with the best and you should be famous, who knows, maybe one day 👍👏👏🥰🎶🎶
