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.
Tidal Wave
Markus Schulz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I dove into the depths of you
Heavy chains, swept away
All the things I thought I'd never lose
And I, I was looking for something
Now I'm in the face of the truth
So I'm always riding your tidal wave
'Cause I'm caught in the current
Don't know if it's worth it
You keep washing me away
So I'm always riding your tidal, your tidal wave
Your tidal wave [3x]
'Cause I keep on riding your tidal wave
And I, I was looking for something
Now I'm in the face of the truth
So I'm always riding your tidal wave
And I'm tired of breaking on the walls of your wake
'Cause I'm caught in the current
Don't know if it's worth it
You keep washing me away
So I'm always riding your tidal, your tidal wave
'Cause I keep on riding, keep on riding
Keep on riding your tidal wave
Your tidal wave
'Cause I keep on riding your tidal wave
The lyrics of "Tidal Wave" by Haliene convey the experience of being deeply immersed in a relationship or a situation that is overwhelming and hard to control. The metaphorical reference to a tidal wave emphasizes the force and power of the emotions involved. The singer expresses feeling caught off guard, as if they were unexpectedly plunged into the depths of this connection. The weight of their emotions is symbolized by heavy chains that are swept away, implying that they have lost things they never thought they would.
The song speaks to the singer's search for something meaningful, but finding themselves faced with the truth of the situation. They describe constantly riding this figurative tidal wave, which can be exhausting. The lyrics highlight the struggle of constantly breaking against the walls created by the consequences of this intense connection. The current represents the overwhelming force of the relationship, while the uncertainty reinforces the question of whether it is worth the turbulence.
Ultimately, "Tidal Wave" captures the sense of being consumed by a relationship or an experience that you cannot escape, weighing the cost and benefits of such emotional intensity. It portrays a complex dynamic where love and struggle intertwine, leaving the singer questioning if the ride is worth it.
Line by Line Meaning
It hit me hard, caught off guard
I was deeply affected by something unexpectedly
When I dove into the depths of you
When I fully immersed myself in your presence or relationship
Heavy chains, swept away
The burdens and constraints I carried were suddenly removed
All the things I thought I'd never lose
All the possessions or aspects I believed would always be with me, but now they are gone
And I, I was looking for something
I had a desire or need for something
Now I'm in the face of the truth
Now I am confronted with reality or the true nature of things
So I'm always riding your tidal wave
I am constantly being influenced or swept along by your overwhelming force or influence
And I'm tired of breaking on the walls of your wake
I am exhausted from constantly being shattered by the aftermath of your actions
'Cause I'm caught in the current
Because I am trapped in the flow or direction of events
Don't know if it's worth it
I am uncertain if the struggle or effort is worthwhile
You keep washing me away
You consistently remove or erode my presence or influence
So I'm always riding your tidal, your tidal wave
Thus, I am continuously caught up in the overpowering force or influence you exert
Your tidal wave [3x]
The overwhelming force or impact you possess
'Cause I keep on riding your tidal wave
Because I persistently find myself swept along by your powerful influence
Keep on riding, keep on riding
I continue to be carried along or influenced
Keep on riding your tidal wave
I continue to be swept along by your overwhelming force or impact
