Combining folk with acoustic pop elements and beginning in 2003, Milow released his debut album, The Bigger Picture, in 2006 on his own label Homerun Records. The fourth single from that album, "You Don't Know," became one of the biggest hit singles of the year in Belgium in 2007.
Milow's acoustic cover of 50 Cent's "Ayo Technology," released in 2008, stayed on the charts for over 340 weeks in 14 different countries. The video also went viral on YouTube with over 50 million views. Milow followed the immense success of the single by quickly releasing a self-titled studio album. Three years later, he has sold over 650,000 albums and more than 1.15 million singles.
“North and South,” recorded in Belgium and partially mixed in Los Angeles by two-time Grammy-winner Tony Maserati (Beyonce Knowles, Jason Mraz, Robbie Robertson), was released in 2011. The mastering was done in New York City by Dave Kutch (The Roots, Erykah Badu, Outkast). The video for the first single, “You and Me (In My Pocket),” is available on YouTube.

Milow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Snow falls, but I didn't see it coming my way
No stars from high skies
All my life I left too many things unsaid
And the hardest part, I never said I loved you
Now it's too late
And I'm thinking to myself this can't be true
Someone help me I'm giving up
Since you're gone every song it don't sound the same
I'm at the bottom and looking up
When you lose, pay your dues, it's a cruel game
Suddenly I'm here gotta start again
Every piece of me don't want it to end
Someone help me I'm givin' up
Someone help me to be myself again
Old clothes and shadows
I can't let go this feeling's just a little too real
Stranger in the mirror looking back at me
And I barely recognize myself
And the hardest part, I never said I loved you
Now it's too late
And I'm thinking to myself this can't be true
I'm missin' you
Someone help me I'm giving up
Since you're gone every song it don't sound the same
I'm at the bottom and looking up
When you lose, pay your dues, it's a cruel game
Suddenly I'm here gotta start again
Every piece of me don't want it to end
Someone help me I'm givin' up
Someone help me to be myself
Oh, oh
Help me to be myself again
Oh, oh
Help me be myself again
White walls and missed calls
Snow falls but I didn't see it coming my way
Someone help me I'm giving up
Since you're gone every song it don't sound the same
I'm at the bottom and looking up
When you lose, pay your dues, it's a cruel game
Suddenly I'm here gotta start again
Every piece of me don't want it to end
Someone help me I'm givin' up
Someone help me to be myself again
To be myself again
To be myself again
Someone help me to be myself again
The lyrics of "Help" by Milow express the feeling of loss, regret and the need for assistance after losing someone important. The opening lines reveal a sense of detachment and a feeling of being stuck in the past. The singer mentions "missed goals" and "left too many things unsaid," indicating a life lived without fully expressing oneself. The mention of "snow falls" and "no stars from high skies" gives a gloomy and isolated image, creating a feeling of loneliness.
The hardest part, as stated in the lyrics, is regretting not having expressed love and being too late to do so. The singer is missing the person and is searching for help to cope with the loss. The repeating chorus, "Someone help me, I'm giving up," further emphasizes the sense of desperation and the need for support. The use of snow, shadows and old clothes shows that the singer is trying to hold on to memories and has a hard time letting go and moving on.
In the end, the lyrics reveal a desire to start again and be oneself again, but the singer needs help doing so. The song expresses a universal feeling of loss and regret, and the need for assistance to move forward and start again.

White walls and missed calls
Snow falls but I didn't see it coming my way
Nose-dives from high skies
All my life I left so many things unsaid
And the hardest part
I never said I loved you
Now it's too late
And I'm thinking to myself this can't be true
I'm missing you
Someone help me I'm giving up

When you lose, pay your dues
It's a cruel game
Suddenly I'm here gotta start again
Every piece of me don't want it to end
Someone help me I'm giving up
Someone help me to be myself again

Hab's mal eben (auf meine Weise, textlich abgerundet)
angelehnt an den Originaltext, ins deutsche übersetzt.
Milow - Help (Hilfe)
Weiße Wände um mich starr, unerledigte Anrufe;
Der Schnee fällt, dennoch habe ich was hieraus all
dem resultierte, nicht auf mich zukommen sehen.
Sturzflüge aus höchstem Himmel, so vieles habe
ich schon im Leben bisher unsagbar ...unterlassen.
Und das aller schlimmste ist, nie habe ich gesagt,
dass ich dich liebe. Jetzt, wo es dafür zu spät ist,
denke ich so bei mir; "Das kann nicht wahr sein!"
Wie sehr ich dich doch im Nachhinein vermisse.
Kann mir vielleicht noch irgendwer helfen?
Ich habe aufgegeben. Seitdem du fort bist, klingen
alle Lieder für mich nicht mehr gewohnt, wie sonst.
Ich bin ganz unten angekommen und schaue hinauf;
"Wenn du verlierst, bezahlst du den Preis für etwas."
Es ist ein ein grauenhaftes Spiel ...Plötzlich, befinde
auch ich mich hier um erneut von vorne anzufangen.
Jeder Teil an mir sträubt sich dagegen, was da endet.
Kann mir denn irgendjemand helfen? Ich gebe's auf.
Kann mir jemand helfen, wieder zu mir zu finden?
Ob nun die alten Klamotten oder auch die Schatten;
Ich kann nicht wirklich loslassen. Damit verbundene
Gefühle, sind einfach ein wenig zu real. Ein Fremder
sieht mich da gerade im Spiegel an! Ich erkenn' mich
kaum noch selbst...
Und das aller schlimmste ist, nie habe ich gesagt,
dass ich dich liebe. Jetzt, wo es dafür zu spät ist,
denke ich so bei mir; "Das kann nicht wahr sein!"
Wie sehr ich dich doch im Nachhinein vermisse.
Kann mir vielleicht noch irgendwer helfen?
