-------------------

Markus Schulz is a man on a mission. He dreams of meeting the world. This dream just might be possible. Currently number 8 on the DJ Mag Top 100 DJ’s Poll and 5th on the TranceAddict.com Top 250 DJ’s Poll, Markus has been travelling the world playing his personal brand of ‘dark, moody, melodic trance’ and meeting as many people as possible.

Over the past three years, Markus has crossed the globe on an almost constant basis. From Australia to Russia and as far away as China and Trinidad. Along with playing his hometown of Miami. Markus was also found in Ibiza at his summer residency at Amnesia; The Two Tribes Tour in Australia and New Zealand; Tomorrowland in Belgium; Mysterland and Trance Energy in The Netherlands; Nature One in Germany; Distant Heat in Jordan as well as clubs and in Kuala Lumpur, Romania, Czech Republic, Mexico, Sweden, Finland, Hungary, Slovakia, UK, Boston, Los Angeles, New York and the list goes on.

Global DJ Broadcast, Markus’ weekly radio show, can now be heard on over 30 stations worldwide. His very special ‘Ibiza Summer Sessions’ debuted in the summer of 2006. Wanting to give the listener the feeling of being part of the Ibiza summer, Markus planned each week with the best guest DJs and hottest music from the Balearic Islands. The mission was to bring Ibiza to those who couldn’t be there and add to the experience of those who were. And it worked. New stations the world over grabbed up the show for their audiences. Markus reached out through the airwaves to meet more people and touch their lives.

His stunning second artist album, Progression, was a cumulation of these experiences, and offers listeners a slice of his trademark of dark, melodic trance alongside beautiful chilled tracks, guitars, and sublime vocals. Says Markus: “Progression was conceived in the summer, whereas the debut album was done and released in winter, so Progression is less dark, and more influenced by sunny days in Miami. ‘Trinidad to Miami’ was actually written while I was flying over the ocean with the sun shining on the water, and encapsulates that feeling of optimism and happiness.”

While some artists might find it hectic putting together an album with so much going on, Markus thrives on the inspiration he finds in his two bases – Miami and Berlin – and gigs everywhere in between. “I can't do one without the other - playing for the crowd makes me excited and gives me ideas for getting into the studio. When I’m in the studio, I can’t wait to play out what I’m making and seeing people react to it – the processes feed off each other."

"When I grew up listening to music it had a huge influence on me, and made me who I am, so when I make my own music I do it with the listener in mind and try and recreate that one on one feeling I’ve always had. It’s something that gets you through hard times, is a soundtrack to good times, and touches you in a unique way."

2008 kicked off with the release of his fourth compilation for Armada Music, ‘Amsterdam ‘08’, and Markus couldn’t be happier about its origins – Amsterdam is his spiritual home thanks to the overwhelming passion of the people resident there. “I always choose cities that are dear tome for my annual mix compilation” says Markus. “I just love Amsterdam, I feel a real connection there – my friends there are like my family. The people of Holland were one of the first to embrace and accept me and my sound, so it was the natural choice to do the 08 mix there.”

2008 was set to bring more dates in Australia, as well as Asia and South America. His ‘Progression’ World Tour was a big success. Markus: “I have been fortunate to meet some truly outstanding fans in these places who have supported me so much over the past few years - knowing that they will be there front and centre each time I come into town is a cool feeling.”

With no plans for slowing down anytime soon, Markus just might meet the world after all.

Sorrow Has No Home
Markus Schulz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where are things, sometimes late at night
No one's here but breathing sounds
Standing small, sleeping on empty dreams
Move as one, memories

A blanket of stars can't keep you warm
When all your love is gone
And only one heart can argue on

A river of stars can't wash the pain
Emotions drown in pain
For sorrow has no home

Shadows wave, as you shake your fears
Nobody's here but clouds and trees
Question more, absorb the bitter truth
Move as one, it wont let you be

A blanket of stars can't keep you warm
When all your love is gone
And only one heart can argue on
A river of stars can't wash the pain
Emotions drown in pain
For sorrow has no home

Love has no
Love has no home
Love has no
Love has no home
Love has no home

A blanket of stars can't keep you warm
When all your love is gone
And only one heart can argue on
A river of stars can't wash the pain
Emotions drown in pain
For sorrow has no home

Love has no home

Overall Meaning

The Markus Schulz song "Sorrow Has No Home" expresses themes of loneliness and pain through rich imagery and a somber melody. The opening lines describe a late night where the singer feels isolated and small despite the sound of breathing around them. They seem to be lost in empty dreams and memories that move as one - perhaps suggesting a sense of stagnation or feeling trapped in the past.

The chorus highlights the futility of seeking comfort in the beauty of nature or the stars above. Even though the sky may appear stunning in its expanse, it cannot provide warmth or healing to a heart that has lost love. The river of stars cannot wash away the pain, as emotions become overwhelmed in grief. The refrain of "love has no home" drives home the sense of aimlessness and displacement that the singer feels.

Later in the song, shadows and fears are personified as waving and shaking, emphasizing the singer's tense and uncertain state of mind. They urge themselves to question more and face the "bitter truth" rather than hiding from it. However, this self-reflection cannot offer solace either, as sorrow remains homeless and unresolved.

Overall, "Sorrow Has No Home" paints a vivid portrait of emotional anguish and the struggle to find a sense of belonging or comfort. The lyrics evoke a sense of melancholy and yearning, amplified by the haunting melody and Schulz's production choices.
