Martin Solveig then moved to another famous Paris nightclub Les Bains Douches where he worked with famous DJs such as Todd Terry, Roger Sanchez and Bob Sinclar. His popularity further increased with the Pure parties at the Queen Club either as a DJ or as an art director.
He started producing at an early stage of his career. Through his own Mixture label, he released two 12-inch singles, "Heart of Africa" and "Come With Me". These singles combined dance music with musicians playing traditional instruments. Bob Sinclar then asked him to join the Africanism project combining African music and electronic music. He later released the "Edony" single which received airplay worldwide.
In 2002, he released the album Sur La Terre, which contains both "Heart of Africa" and "Edony". The album was released internationally through Universal Music. Another notable track on the album is "Linda" where he plays tribute to Fela Kuti and Serge Gainsbourg. The album was released in 2004 in the US. In 2003, he worked with Salif Keita on "Madan" which made the charts across Europe, notably France, Italy and Greece. "Rocking Music", which features a punk rock guitar riff (and also known for having Justin Timberlake style vocals), has also made the top 40 in Australia in February 2004. "Madan" and "Rocking Music" have both been featured in his second album, Suite. Following singles included "I'm A Good Man", and "Everybody".
Places
Martin Solveig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're somewhere in a place between love and lust
And I could go anywhere, anywhere is home
Yeah I could go anywhere, never feel alone
I come back to the places where we found us, yeah
When I'm not with you, I'm not me
When I'm not with you
I'm not in control of what I do, it's not me
When I'm not with you, I'm not me
Nothing ever feels good
When I'm not with you
I'm not in control of what I do, it's not me
When I'm not with you
When I'm not with you, it's not me
When I'm not with you
I come back to the places where we found us
I come back, I come back
I'm not me, I'm not me, no
Nothing ever feels good
When I'm not with you
I'm not in control of what I do, it's not me
When I'm not with you, I'm not me
Nothing ever feels good
When I'm not with you
I'm not in control of what I do, it's not me, no no no
When I'm not with you
When I'm not with you, it's not me
When I'm not with you
When I'm not with, I'm not me
Nothing ever feels good
When I'm not with you
I'm not in control of what I do
I'm not in control of what I do
When I'm not with you
When I'm not with you, it's not me
When I'm not with you
The lyrics of "Places" by Martin Solveig Ina Wroldsen describe the feeling of being lost without someone you love. The singer explains that she constantly returns to the places where she first fell in love with her partner, hoping to regain the same emotion again. She admits that she is not the same person when she is not with her lover, feeling like she has no control over her actions. The lines "When I'm not with you, it's not me" and "I'm not in control of what I do" convey the idea of being incomplete without the other person.
Overall, the song expresses the powerful feelings associated with being in love and the reliance on another person to feel whole. The chorus especially emphasizes this idea, with the repetition of the phrase "When I'm not with you, I'm not me".

At 1:52, it's a famous song from Pays Basque in south west of France !
The song is called "Hegoak"
You can hear them sing just a little part
"Neuria izango zen
Ez zuen alde egingo
Bainan horrela
Ez zen gehiago txoria izango"
But the song is really good and deserve to be listened and known !

- The best? You don't know all his discography or you're very young. "Something better", for example, is much better.
