PvD is renowned as one of the hardest working artists, with sold-out tours that cross each continent, headline spots at every major festival, and a hugely successful recording career. With over 3 million albums sold worldwide, van Dyk travels around the world over 16 times each year to sold out performances internationally. 2007 alone has brought us PvD remixes of Depeche Mode’s “Martyr”, Britney Spears’ „Gimmy more“ and Justin Timberlake’s “What Goes Around.... Comes Around”.
PvD received a Grammy nomination in 2005 for Best Dance/Electronic Album for his original album Reflections – this marked the first time NARAS recognized this category. His original productions from Reflections have been synced into major motion pictures such as Into the Blue, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, television’s Entertainment Tonight and MTV’s Cribs, and international ad campaigns for Motorola, HBO, Land Rover, Ski Vail and most recently for Jeep. This year he won the International Dance Music Award (IDMA) for Best Euro DJ.
Previously, PvD won four IDMAs in 2006: Best Global DJ, Best NuNRG/Euro Track, Best Producer and Best Mix Compilation for The Politics of Dancing 2. In addition, PvD was voted “America’s Favorite DJ” for 2004 and 2005 by BPM Magazine and was the big winner at the 2004 Dancestar Awards, taking home 3 awards: Best International DJ, Best Event and Best Music in a Commercial (Motorola). He also won the Mexican Oscar for his soundtrack in the film Zurdo in March 2004. Paul van Dyk was voted "Best Music Maker" by DJ Magazine, received the “Best International DJ Award” at the 1999 Music Awards in London, was named "Best International DJ" by Ministry of Sound Magazine, and Mixmag elected him as “Man of the Year”.
Aside from his musical activity, Paul van Dyk has always dedicated a significant part of his life to politics and social justice: from his youth, when he fled over the Berlin Wall to the West, to his children’s charity in India’s Mumbai, and his partnership scheme with the German Red Cross to help poor children in Berlin. In 2004, PvD was the only electronic artist involved in a nationwide tour with the Rock The Vote campaign, where he joined the likes of Bono, P Diddy, the Black Eyed Peas and George Clinton in campaigning for America’s youth to sign up to vote in the presidential election. In 2006 he received Berlin’s Medal of Honor (Landesverdienstorden) in recognition of his work with Ruckenwind, a charity organization he founded dedicated to helping poor children in Berlin. He joins a distinguished list of arts and political establishment figures with this honor.
Born in Eisenhüttenstadt, East Germany, Paul van Dyk grew up in communist East Berlin. Because his community did not have a true club culture, Paul van Dyk listened to the radio where he discovered his passion for music that extended beyond Techno music – he wanted to create a different, more unique sound. In the early 1990’s Paul van Dyk was spinning regularly at various clubs in Berlin before releasing his first album 45 RPM in 1994. But it wasn’t until the release of his second album Seven Ways which catapulted him into the Top 100, followed by the release of his hit single “For An Angel,” which began to earn him praise across the globe. By the time Paul van Dyk released Out There & Back in 2000, it became clear that the Berlin-based musician had far more to offer than his signature club sets and remixes that had already defined him as one of the most influential DJs and producers of all time. His first compilation mix CD Politics of Dancing was released in 2001, followed by Global in 2003 – a DVD which illustrates his own experiences traveling the world.
Paul van Dyk created the internet radio station VONYC.com focused on the electronic dance scene.
Paul van Dyk’s touring diary remains incredibly hectic with regular globetrotting stops at major venues across the globe from New York, London, Ibiza to India, China and Singapore. In the little time remaining between all the travel, Paul van Dyk resides in Berlin where he has his own radio show “Paul van Dyk’s VONYC Sessions” which airs weekly on Area 33 on Sirius Radio on Thursday nights at 6PM ET (and rebroadcasts Saturdays at 8PM ET and Tuesdays at Midnight ET) and Soundgarden which airs every Saturday 2pm – 4pm (EST) on Fritz radio and over the internet (www.fritz.de).

Fall With Me
Paul van Dyk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tumble into lost horizons
It's a long way down
To the streets below
Now I'm on my way
If I get an invitation
I believe
I could be happy, no doubt
I could be crunchy, that's how
Livin' my daydreams, you know
Dancin' on tip toes, fo sho
Hologram, priestess, success, I guess
Lingerie, he knows, no clothes, exposed
Victory, cocktail, telltale, on sale
Hotter than sunshine, sometime, headlines
Would you fall with me?
We could be so happy, baby
Would you go my way?
I believe you do
Would you save my life?
If I set my hair on fire
Who am I?
If I only knew
Tumblin' backwards, my love
Heavenly creatures, too much
Everything changes, the say
Fresh as a daisy, someday
Takin' a road trip, good fit, ain't it
Send me a postcard, backyard, how far?
Genuine laughter, faster, blaster
Suddenly hit me, fit me, tipped me
Would you fall with me?
Tumble into lost horizons
It's a long way down
To the streets below
Now I'm on my way
If I get an invitation
I believe
But you never know
Would you fall with me?
We could be so happy, baby
Would you go my way?
I believe you do
would you save my life?
If I set my hair on fire
Who am I?
If I only knew
The song "Fall With Me" by Paul van Dyk is a beautiful composition that talks about the need for companionship and the desire to take risks with someone special. The lyrics are a plea for someone to join the singer on a journey of self-discovery, tumbling into lost horizons without worrying about the consequences. The words "would you fall with me?" imply a yearning for a deep connection that allows for vulnerability, trust, and surrender even when the outcome is uncertain. The reference to "lost horizons" suggests that the singer wants to explore uncharted territories that promise adventure, excitement, and a glimpse of the unknown.
The repeated line, "It's a long way down to the streets below," echoes the fear one might feel when venturing into uncharted territory. The metaphorical interpretation is that taking risks requires courage because the fall from the heights of exhilaration can be treacherous. The singer acknowledges that there is no guarantee of happiness, but the possibility of finding joy and companionship makes the risk worth taking. The lines, "Livin' my daydreams, you know, Dancin' on tip toes, fo sho," suggest a whimsical, carefree attitude that comes from being in love and living fully in the present. The song is a reminder to embrace life with open arms and not to let fear hold us back from the possibilities it offers.
Line by Line Meaning
Would you fall with me?
Do you want to take a risk and explore new, unknown places with me?
Tumble into lost horizons
Let's delve into the unknown, into worlds beyond what we know
It's a long way down
The journey into the unknown can be scary and daunting
To the streets below
It can also be a fall from a high point, with no guarantee of reaching the bottom safely
Now I'm on my way
I am embarking on this journey, ready to see where it takes me
If I get an invitation
If an opportunity to explore presents itself, I will take it
I believe
I have faith that things will work out in the end
But you never know
The future is unpredictable, and things may not turn out as expected
I could be happy, no doubt
I have the potential to be content in life
I could be crunchy, that's how
I have the capability to be strong and resilient
Livin' my daydreams, you know
I am chasing my dreams, making them a reality
Dancin' on tip toes, fo sho
I am living life on the edge, taking risks and enjoying every moment
Hologram, priestess, success, I guess
I am striving for success, even if the path to get there is unclear
Lingerie, he knows, no clothes, exposed
I am open and exposed, not afraid to show my true self, flaws and all
Victory, cocktail, telltale, on sale
Success is within reach, and I am celebrating the small victories along the way
Hotter than sunshine, sometime, headlines
I am living life to the fullest, basking in the warmth of the sun and the excitement of new experiences
Would you save my life?
If I am in danger or need help, will you be there for me?
If I set my hair on fire
If I make a major mistake or put myself in danger, will you help me out of it?
Who am I?
What is my identity, and how do I fit into the world?
If I only knew
If only I had the answer to this question, but for now, it remains a mystery
Tumblin' backwards, my love
Life can throw me unexpected curveballs, causing me to fall backwards
Heavenly creatures, too much
Sometimes the world can be overwhelming, with so much beauty it's hard to take it all in
Everything changes, the say
Life is constantly evolving and shifting, and we must learn to adapt with it
Fresh as a daisy, someday
Even when things seem difficult, there will always be a chance for renewal and a fresh start
Takin' a road trip, good fit, ain't it
Taking a journey can be a perfect match for me, as I love adventure and exploring new places
Send me a postcard, backyard, how far?
Even when we are far apart, we can still connect and keep each other in our thoughts
Genuine laughter, faster, blaster
Laughter is the best medicine, and I love to feel free and light when I am having fun with others
Suddenly hit me, fit me, tipped me
Sometimes life can take us by surprise, but we can learn and grow from these experiences
We could be so happy, baby
Together we can create a happy, fulfilling life
Would you go my way?
Will you join me on this journey, through all the ups and downs?
I believe you do
I have faith that you will always be by my side
