Born in London, he is the son of writer Ann Dexter-Jones and real estate tycoon Laurence Ronson. His mother later married Mick Jones, lead guitarist of multiplatinum selling rock band Foreigner. He has two sisters: fashion designer Charlotte Ronson and DJ Samantha Ronson. He spent his childhood in a wealthy suburb of London where he lived on the same street as Paul McCartney‘s family. When his parents divorced at age 8, he moved to New York, where he made friends with John Lennon's son, Sean Lennon.
Ronson played guitar and drums from an early age, but it wasn't until moving to New York City with his mother that Ronson discovered DJ culture. At age 16, already a fan of such popular hip-hop artists as Run-D.M.C. and the Beastie Boys, Ronson began listening to the various hip-hop mixtapes released every few months by DJs. Inspired, Ronson confiscated his father's record collection and began trying his hand at mixing.
The young DJ with the diverse taste soon caught the ears and eyes of various socialites and New York celebrities, including fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, who featured Ronson along with other sons and daughters of celebrities in a 1997 fashion campaign. A year later, hip-hop mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs hired Ronson to DJ his fabled 29th birthday bash. These and other high-profile gigs boosted Ronson's "hip quotient" and helped promote his more serious-minded music career. Fusing his eclectic turntable skills with his knowledge of musical instruments and songwriting, Ronson eventually embarked on his first solo project. Featuring such diverse guest artists as dancehall rapper Sean Paul, hip-hop artist Mos Def, Jack White of the White Stripes, and Rivers Cuomo of Weezer, Ronson's debut album, Here Comes the Fuzz, bowed for Elektra in 2003.
Ronson's second album, Version, adds to his eclectic style. In this sophomore album, Ronson fuses a range of musical genres from Daniel Merriweather to Ol' Dirty Bastard to Phantom Planet with an up tempo contemporary funk sound. All the songs on this album are covers of previous Billboard top-10 pop songs, with a jazzy twist.
Career
Attending Vassar College and then New York University (NYU), Ronson became a regular at downtown hip-hop spots and made his name as a DJ on the New York club scene in 1993. He was soon one of the most respected DJs and was being called on for celebrities' private parties. Ronson is known for his diverse, genre-spanning selection, influenced by both the hip-hop scene of New York and the more rock influence of the UK, amongst others.
He moved on, however, to producing music. After producing Nikka Costa's song "Everybody Got Their Something," Ronson signed a record contract with Elektra Records. His first album Here Comes the Fuzz was released in 2003 and was a critically acclaimed success that featured artists of all genres, despite initially poor sales. The most well known song from the album, " Ooh Wee" samples " Sunny" by Boney M and features Nate Dogg, Ghostface Killah, and Trife Da God. He has since produced multiple songs on the albums of singers Christina Aguilera, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, and Robbie Williams.
In 2004, he formed his own record label, Allido Records, a subsidiary of Sony BMG's J Records, along with his longtime manager Rich Kleiman. The first artist he signed to Allido was rapper Rhymefest, most well-known for winning the Grammy for co-writing Kanye West's "Jesus Walks".
In March 2006, Ronson released a cover of Radiohead's " Just" as a single. In certain areas, such as the UK, it gained major radio play. It also saw release as part of Exit Music: Songs with Radio Heads, a full Radiohead covers CD, in April, later appearing on Ronson's second album, Version, which was released in the UK on 16 April 2007. It includes other covers of a diverse selection of rock & pop songs including: Kaiser Chiefs' " Oh My God" (featuring guest vocals from Lily Allen), an instrumental version of Coldplay's " God Put A Smile Upon Your Face", Britney Spears' "Toxic", Ryan Adams' "Amy", Maxïmo Park's " Apply Some Pressure", The Zutons' "Valerie" and Kasabian's "L.S.F.".
Late Night Feelings
Mark Ronson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ask myself a million questions in the dark
I lay in silence, but silence talks
It tells me heaven is no closer than it was
My heart keeps pulling in the wrong direction
I'm about to cross the line
Looking for the wrong affection
Trying to find a new distraction
Wanna make it last all night
Everything that I've been mixin'
All mixed up inside
When I get too on ya
And I wanna call ya
With late night feelings
When I get too on ya
And I wanna call ya
With late night feelings
On and on and on
Feeling on and on
On and on, on and on
With late night feelings
Make me psychotic, you've pulled away
You take the sane in me and tear it like a page
Write you erotic, and I know your way
Before you answer just to make me go insane
My heart keeps pulling in the wrong direction
I'm about to cross the line
Looking for the wrong affection
Night after night, I'm
Trying to find a new distraction
Wanna make it last all night
Everything that I've been mixin'
All mixed up inside
When I get too on ya
And I wanna call ya
With late night feelings
When I get too on ya
And I wanna call ya
With late night feelings
On and on and on
Feeling on and on
On and on, on and on
With late night feelings
On and on and on
Feeling on and on
On and on, on and on
With late night feelings
On and on, on and on and I feel it all night
On and on, on and on and I feel it all night
On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on, on and on
On and on, on and on and I feel it all night
On and on, on and on and I feel it all night
On and on, on and on, on and on
Oh-oh, keeps pulling in the wrong direction
I'm about to cross that line
Looking for the wrong affection
Night after night
Trying to find a new distraction
I wanna make it last all night
Everything that I've been mixin'
All mixed up inside
When I get too on ya
And I wanna call ya
With late night feelings
When I get too on ya
And I wanna call ya
With late night feelings
On and on and on
Feeling on and on
On and on, on and on

The lyrics to Mark Ronson's "Late Night Feelings" describe the feeling of being overwhelmed by emotions and thoughts in the middle of the night. The singer weighs the water and feels everything, asking themselves a million questions in the dark. Despite laying in silence, the silence itself speaks to them, conveying that heaven is still as far away as it was before. The singer's heart pulls them in the wrong direction, and while they know they're about to cross the line, they keep looking for the wrong affection night after night, hoping to find a new distraction to make it last all night long. However, all the feelings and thoughts inside them are getting mixed up and they feel psychotic.
The second verse of the song speaks to a particular person causing the singer to feel this way. They describe feeling like this person takes away the sane part of them and makes them go insane. The singer knows this person and their ways, which only adds to their confusion and mixed emotions. They continue to seek a new distraction, but they cannot shake the feeling that everything inside them is mixed up and confusing.
Overall, "Late Night Feelings" is a song about struggling with complicated emotions and thoughts in the middle of the night. The singer seeks distraction and affection but is pulled in the wrong direction and feels like everything is mixed up and overwhelming.
Line by Line Meaning
I weigh the water, I feel it all
I am overwhelmed by my emotions, and I feel everything very deeply
I ask myself a million questions in the dark
I am haunted by doubts and fears, and I am constantly questioning my choices
I lay in silence, but silence talks
Even when everything is quiet, I can still hear the voice of my own thoughts
It tells me heaven is no closer than it was
Despite my efforts, I have not found any peace or comfort
My heart keeps pulling in the wrong direction
I am drawn to things that are not good for me, and I struggle to resist their pull
I'm about to cross the line
I am dangerously close to doing something that I know I will regret
Looking for the wrong affection
I am seeking love and validation in places where it cannot be found
Night after night
This is a pattern that repeats itself constantly
Trying to find a new distraction
I am searching for anything that will help me ignore the pain and confusion I am experiencing
Wanna make it last all night
I want to escape my problems for as long as possible
Everything that I've been mixin'
I am surrounded by a confusing and chaotic mix of emotions and feelings
All mixed up inside
I am grappling with these emotions and feelings, and I cannot sort them out
When I get too on ya
When I am overwhelmed and cannot handle my emotions
And I wanna call ya
And I seek comfort from you
With late night feelings
These emotions come up most strongly at night
Make me psychotic, you've pulled away
When you distance yourself from me, it drives me crazy
You take the sane in me and tear it like a page
You bring out the worst in me, and I become irrational and unstable
Write you erotic, and I know your way
I try to seduce you, knowing what you like and what will draw you closer to me
Before you answer just to make me go insane
I am so desperate for your attention that I will interpret your every move as a sign of your love or rejection
On and on and on
This cycle of pain and confusion seems never-ending
Feeling on and on
I cannot escape these emotions, and they consume my every moment
With late night feelings
These emotions are especially strong at night
On and on, on and on and I feel it all night
These emotions are overwhelming, and they do not go away even when I am trying to sleep
Oh-oh, keeps pulling in the wrong direction
This pull towards self-destructive behaviors and relationships is unrelenting
I wanna make it last all night
I am desperate to escape my pain and confusion for as long as possible
