The first decade of the new millennium has passed and house music pioneer Roger Sanchez continues to keep the beat and rock dance floors across the globe. The ‘Release Yourself’ empire is still a force to be reckoned with in it's 10th year of existence. This year Roger celebrates the pass of an incredible decade of house music, and the beginning of a new generation filled with innovative beats and mind blowing performances.
Born to Dominican Parents in Queens, Roger spent his younger years soaking up the musical influences that were the lifeblood of his home town. It was the diversity of these influences, from salsa, blues and soul to disco, rock and hip-hop, that solidified Roger's dedication to representing this spectrum of musical styles. Thus, Roger's sound is impossible to pigeon hole, refusing to fit the template of any one genre:
"I have always listened to a wide range of music, taking different influences from hundreds of styles. The diversity of the sounds I hear influence different lines of thought when I'm in the studio creating something new"
After leaving college to follow his music-filled heart, Roger's passion for DJing conquered his hometown, and the last days of the 1980s saw Roger spinning beats in the Big Apple's most notorious clubs. 1990 saw the S-Man catapulted into international limelight with his first hit Luv Dancin, released on the eminent Strictly Rhythm label under the first of many monikers Underground Solution
Roger's creative evolution through the rest of the decade yielded a string of hits, and whilst working under his Transatlantic Soul alias, Roger conceived the enduring legend Release Yourself. Born in 1996 through club smash single Release Yo Self, the brand has grown into a worldwide phenomenon that embodies Roger's deep belief in the liberty music can bring. Now an exclusive clubbing concept, a CD mix series, an IDMA winning podcast radio show that touches millions, and an annual residency in Ibiza that still dominates the scene, Release Yourself continues to gather momentum as one of the most recognized and seminal brands on the global scene today.
Roger has remixed superstars such as Chic, Daft Punk, Diana Ross and The Police, contributed to the soundtrack of Hollywood movie Blade, and founded 3 record labels before his beloved Stealth. Since forming his opus label "Stealth Records" in 2002, the recognition has continued to roll in. Even through the glare of his massive commercial success, the expanse of Roger's fame has neither diluted his outlook nor marred his creativity, and he remains a true champion of new music with one ear always pressed firmly to the underground. In one week alone Roger scored a trio of tracks in the top 25 Billboard Charts, but even after winning a Grammy in 2004 for Best Remixed Recording for his remix of Hella Good and establishing a global fan base of millions, the S-man remains grounded, making it clear that "Really, as always, I just do what I do and am grateful to be able to follow my heart."
2010 is a truly memorable year for Roger as he celebrates 10 years of his famous residency in Ibiza. This year Roger will as well release a new ‘Release Yourself’ compilation, all on Roger’s own Stealth label. For 10 years Roger Sanchez has dictated the tempo of the house music scene, bringing audiences up and coming artists that have grown to become big-time-players in the dance world. Even after 10 years Roger sees no reason to slow down as he looks forward to breaking barriers in house music for the next decade.
As well as remixing songs, he also hosts his own radio show called Release Yourself, the show is syndicated worldwide.
Lost
Roger Sanchez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know the one we were laughing in the rain
Remember how it used to be
Remember when you were still in love with me
But you turned away
And I start to cry
I'm lost without your love
Don't leave me
Alone tonight
I'm lost without your love
And I won't survive
Don't leave me
Cause I won't survive
I'm lost without your love
And I won't survive
I can't believe that we are through
Is it someone else
Have you found somebody new
Cause I die inside
Every-time I close my eyes
And imagine myself living without you
But you turned away
And I start to cry
I'm lost without your love
And I won't survive
Don't leave me
Alone tonight
I'm lost without your love
And I won't survive
Don't leave me
Cause I won't survive
I'm lost without your love
And I won't survive...
The lyrics to Roger Sanchez's Lost reflect on a past relationship and the singer's feelings of loss and desperation after the breakup. The song opens with the singer reminiscing about a past moment with his lover, which is captured in a photograph of the two of them laughing in the rain. He longs for the way it used to be and remembers when his lover was still in love with him. However, he is filled with sadness when he realizes that they have turned away from him and wonders if they have found someone else.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I'm lost without your love, and I won't survive" as the singer pleads with his lover not to leave him alone in his despair. He can't imagine living without them and feels as though he's dying inside every time he thinks about it. The singer concludes the song with another plea, expressing his fear that he won't make it through life without his love.
The lyrics of Lost have a universal appeal, as many people have experienced the pain of a lost relationship. The song's message is a reminder that love can be both beautiful and painful, and even when someone is lost, they can still hold onto hope that they'll find their way back.

I saw a picture yesterday
I stumbled upon a photo from the past
You know the one we were laughing in the rain
It was the one where we both were happy and carefree despite getting wet in the rain
Remember how it used to be
I am reminiscing about the wonderful times we had together
Remember when you were still in love with me
I am recalling the time when you were still deeply in love with me
But you turned away
However, things changed and you stopped loving me
And I start to cry
It makes me emotional to think about it
I'm lost without your love
I feel like I have no direction or purpose without your love
And I won't survive
I don't think I can go on without your love
Don't leave me
Please don't abandon me
Alone tonight
Especially not tonight
Cause I won't survive
I feel like I might not make it through
I can't believe that we are through
It's hard for me to accept that our relationship is over
Is it someone else
I wonder if you have found someone else
Have you found somebody new
Have you moved on to someone else?
Cause I die inside
It breaks my heart
Every-time I close my eyes
Whenever I try to rest or sleep
And imagine myself living without you
I can't even begin to picture my life without you

I saw a picture yesterday,
You know the one, we were laughing in the rain
Remember how it used to be,
Remember when you were still in love with me
But you turned away,
And I start to cry
I'm lost without your love
And I won't survive
Don't leave me alone tonight
I'm lost without your love and I won't survive
I can't believe that we are through
Is it someone else?
Have ya found somebody new?
Cuz I die inside everytime I close my eyes
And imagine myself living without you
But you turned away
And I start to cry
I'm lost without your love
And I won't survive
Don't leave me
Alone tonight
I'm lost without your love
And I won't survive.
